Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Looking down at the unconscious woman in his arms, he gently pushed aside her wet hair.

At this moment, an emotion he had never experienced before quietly sprouted in his heart. This feeling was both novel and sweet, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

"Cold, so cold!"

There was a small cave next to the deep pool at the bottom of the cliff, which could only accommodate two people sitting side by side. Qu Tingyun hid in the cave with a trembling heart.

In order to keep her warm, he struggled to find a few dry branches. Because of the humidity here, it was difficult to start a fire.

After some effort, the flame finally ignited. Looking at the wet clothes of Li Xin, he hesitated for a moment and said softly:

"Miss Li, I have to do this."

In the biting cold wind at the bottom of the cliff, if you don't change your wet clothes in time, you will easily catch a cold and get sick.

Qu Tingyun quickly took off his clothes and placed them by the fire to dry, then carefully untied the belt of his clothes.

When the wet and cold clothes were taken off from his body, Li Xin could not help but shivering in search of warmth. He naturally moved closer to Qu Tingyun and curled up in his arms to keep warm.

Qu Tingyun felt the coldness and fragility of the person in his arms, and a surge of tenderness and sense of responsibility arose in his heart.

Although his body reacted to this sudden intimacy, he knew that the most important thing at this moment was to take good care of his estrangement. He would not take advantage of others' misfortune and do something immoral in this difficult moment.

He quickly adjusted his mood, hung the wet clothes on a wooden stick, and placed them by the fire to dry.

"Eccentric? Eccentric?" Not long after, Qu Tingyun noticed that the girl in his arms seemed to have changed.

Her body temperature suddenly rose sharply and her pulse became unstable. This was a serious situation and Qu Tingyun immediately became alert.

As a doctor, Qu Tingyun had never seen such abnormal symptoms.

Although cold can cause fever, it will never rise so quickly like this. He suspected poisoning, but after checking, he found that the blood color was normal, so he ruled out this possibility.

"Hmm..." Li Xin's face was flushed, and the fever was worryingly high. Qu Tingyun frowned, and he must find out the cause as soon as possible and give appropriate treatment.

She curled up like a newborn baby, holding her chest tightly with her hands.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, and a deep "川" character was formed between her beautiful eyebrows.

"It hurts," she whispered, her voice filled with pain and rapid breathing.

Seeing this, Qu Tingyun hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed her hand away and wanted to explore.

He felt the softness in his palm, and through the clothes, he could feel the violently beating heart, as if it would jump out of the chest in the next second.

"It hurts so much, help me!" Li Xing grabbed at the air with both hands, and finally held Qu Tingyun's hand tightly. His fingers trembled in pain, and his voice was full of fear: "Please..."

Every cry for help was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart. Seeing her painful appearance, her clothes soaked with sweat, he felt as if his heart was broken by a knife.

"Don't be afraid, Li Xin, I'm here. I will save you no matter what."

He squeezed her hand tightly, leaned in close, and whispered softly in her ear, trying to offer comfort.

At the same time, in Beiling Fengming Palace, another crisis was unfolding.

Jiang Xue suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, and it was difficult to breathe. Her body was so weak that she fell down like a puppet without strings. The object in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Jiang Xue!"

Xiao Zhan just walked in and saw this scene. He quickly rushed forward and steadily caught Jiang Xue who was about to fall to the ground.

Seeing her pale face and painful expression, he picked her up by the waist without hesitation, walked quickly to the inner room, and ordered: "Qingfeng, call Doctor Li immediately! Quick!"

The Beiling Palace was in chaos throughout the night.

The queen suddenly fell seriously ill and was in critical condition. The usually calm emperor became anxious and stayed by the queen's side all night without leaving.

When Li Yiming walked out of Fengming Palace at noon the next day, Lu Linyi and Xiao Gui had already arrived, and Xiao Yue had been with her fourth brother since last night.

"Doctor Li, how is Jiang Xue's condition?" The anxious voice was full of desire for an answer.

As soon as Li Yiming appeared, Lu Linyi immediately stepped forward, his face full of concern, and asked anxiously about Jiang Xue's condition.

"The queen is now in a stable condition. I will go and prepare some medicine. If you three want to visit, please keep quiet and don't disturb the queen's rest."

After that, Li Yiming bowed to the three of them and left with the prescription. Lu Linyi and the other two exchanged glances and then walked into the inner room cautiously.

"Jiang Xue, how do you feel now?"

Xiao Zhan asked softly, while holding Jiang Xue's hand tightly, holding her gently in his arms, letting her half lie in his arms.

His heart almost stopped when he saw her suddenly collapse last night.

Fortunately, Dr. Li arrived in time, otherwise he couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be. Thinking of this, he hugged her even tighter, as if he wanted to carve her existence deeply into his soul, never to be separated.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Jiang Xue noticed his uneasiness, patted the back of his hand gently, and comforted him: "Didn't we agree to spend the rest of our lives together? I won't abandon you."

She had her own worries in her heart. This sudden physical discomfort was related to the Tongxin Gu in her chest.

The abnormal activity of this poisonous insect almost took her life, and the reason why it was so restless meant that her daughter Mo Li, who was scattered outside, might be in danger.

“Yun Che, about Mo…”

She was about to tell Xiao Zhan the news about his daughter, but the arrival of Lu Linyi and the other two interrupted her.

Considering Mo Li's safety, she decided not to say anything for the time being and wait until they were alone to talk about it.

At the same time, under the cliff of Longyuanze, after Qu Tingyun's unremitting efforts all night, Li Xin's condition finally stabilized. Qu Tingyun put his hand on Li Xin's forehead to confirm that her body temperature had returned to normal.

Qu Tingyun let out a long sigh, touched the clothes placed next to the fire, and after confirming that they were completely dry, he quickly helped himself and Li Xin put on their clothes.

He settled Xin Li down, then walked out of the cave alone and began to look for food to fill their stomachs. After what happened last night, both of them were in urgent need of replenishing their energy.

When Li Xin woke up, Qu Tingyun had returned to the cave with a bunch of wild fruits and a pot of water.

When she saw the arrangement in front of her, her stomach growled.

Qu Tingyun chuckled and pushed the food in front of her: "Miss Li Xin, you must be hungry, right? Eat something quickly and don't let your body suffer."

Li Xin's face flushed slightly. For some reason, she felt a little shy in front of Qu Tingyun this time.

She cleared her throat, drank some water, picked up a wild fruit, tasted it, and immediately frowned - the wild fruit was too sour.

Seeing this, Qu Tingyun smiled apologetically and said, "The conditions at the bottom of the cliff are limited. It is not easy to find these fruits. It is inevitable that the taste is not good."
