The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Huo Yunjue woke up early the next morning.

The memory in his mind was still lingering on Su Yan's painful look after he was poisoned by the seven kinds of love-eating insects last night.

Afterwards, he only vaguely remembered being helped out of Cuohezhai and having been in a coma ever since.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Huo Yunjue was eager to confirm whether Ning Ziqing was safe and sound.

He suddenly jumped out of bed and rushed to the door, wanting to go to Cuohezhai to visit Ning Ziqing.

But when he opened the door, he found that it was heavily guarded outside.

Huo Yunjue frowned and planned to force his way out. Nothing was more important than Ning Ziqing's safety at the moment.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Concubine Wan rushing over with a bowl of medicine to stop him.

"Ajue, where are you going? You are covered in wounds. It is snowing heavily outside. If you catch a cold and fall ill, how will your body bear it?"

As Concubine Wan spoke, she took Huo Yunjue's hand and brought him back into the house.

Huo Yunjue asked anxiously, "Mother, how is Qingqing now?"

Concubine Wan quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, the third young lady has survived."

When Huo Yunjue heard this, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and his tense heart finally relaxed a lot.

He begged Concubine Wan.

"Mother, I just want to go see Qingqing. Only when I see with my own eyes that she is safe and sound, can I feel completely at ease."

Concubine Wan paused for a moment and handed him the medicine bowl in her hand: "Ajue, drink the medicine first."

Huo Yunjue took the medicine bowl, tilted his head back and drank it all, then looked at Concubine Wan with anticipation.

Concubine Wan sighed and did not hide the truth from him: "Ajue, although the Third Miss has saved her life, she has not yet woken up."

Huo Yunjue's face suddenly changed, and he became panicked again: "How could this happen? Didn't the Wu Clan boy say that as long as he planted the Love Devouring Gu, he could help Qingqing get rid of the evil spirit?"

Concubine Wan told him truthfully: "Ajue, things are not as simple as you think."

"Last night, Qi Lang forcibly planted the mother Gu, which repelled the child Gu in the Third Miss' body. The Wu clan boy said that he could only rely on his magic to suppress the backlash of the mother Gu, and then let the child Gu absorb the evil spirit from the Third Miss' body every day and transfer it to Qi Langjun. In this way, it will take more time for the Third Miss to wake up."

After hearing these words, Huo Yunjue smiled bitterly, and felt a little resentful towards Su Yanqi.

"I've already told him that he can't do that. Why does he insist on doing this?"

"The person Qingqing loves is obviously me, not him, why did he insist on forcibly planting the love-eating Gu!"

Concubine Wan's heart sank, and her eyes were filled with helplessness and worry. She hoped that Ning Ziqing would survive, and she didn't want to see Huo Yunjue and Su Yanqi become enemies because of her.

Concubine Wan hugged Huo Yunjue and persuaded him gently, "Ajue, Qilang did this not only to save the Third Miss. He also did this to save you, so he was willing to bear the backlash of the Love Devouring Gu for you. You must not blame him."

Huo Yunjue understood Su Yanqi's thoughts, but he didn't want to owe him a favor.

He would rather sacrifice his own life in exchange for Ning Ziqing's safety than let Su Yanqi risk his life to save Ning Ziqing.

By doing this, he would only make Ning Ziqing's situation more embarrassing in the future.

Thinking of this, Huo Yunjue made a decision in his heart.

"Mother, I don't blame him. It's just that I have something extremely important to tell him face to face. Please help me again."

At noon, the snow finally stopped.

After Concubine Wan summoned Qin Kuo, she led Huo Yunjue out of Minghui Hall and headed to Cuohezhai.

Halfway through the journey, they happened to meet Ning Zijun and the Yijiang people walking out of the mansion.

Huo Yunjue called out to Ning Zijun.

When Ning Zijun saw Huo Yunjue appear here, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He suppressed his temper and led the Yijiang people forward to pay their respects.

"Your humble servant greets the Concubine Wan and the Fourth Prince."

Concubine Wan nodded slightly, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.

Huo Yunjue asked Ning Zijun with concern.

"Prince Ning, where are you taking them?"

Ning Zijun deliberately lowered his eyes to avoid Huo Yunjue's gaze, and replied indifferently: "Your Majesty, my sister was suddenly seriously injured by the Wu clan assassin last night for unknown reasons, and now her life or death is unknown. I will bring the Yijiang clan to the palace to meet the emperor, and I implore your majesty to order the arrest of the murderer and ask for an explanation from the Yueyao Kingdom."

Huo Yunjue heard the blame in his words and couldn't help showing guilt, so he suggested: "Prince Ning, can you wait for a moment? I will meet the Seventh Young Master, and then go to the palace with you to report to His Majesty what happened last night."

Ning Zijun was instantly furious after hearing this. He clenched his fists and glared at Huo Yunjue angrily: "Don't bother with this, Fourth Prince. Please be merciful and let Qingqing go. Don't pester her anymore and ruin her reputation."

His cold eyes were filled with resentment and blame towards Huo Yunjue.

"Today was supposed to be Qingqing's wedding day, but you sneaked out to look for her last night, causing our two families' wedding to almost turn into a funeral. Fourth Prince, are you still not willing to give up? You won't be satisfied until this matter becomes a big fuss in the city!"

Huo Yunjue's heart sank, and he saw the Yijiang people behind him looking at him with defensive and hostile eyes. He frowned painfully and apologized to Ning Zijun: "I'm sorry... I didn't know I would hurt Qingqing."

Ning Zijun pretended not to hear and bowed to Huo Yunjue with a cold expression.

"I will not disturb Your Highness the Fourth Prince. I will take my leave."

After saying this, he left with the Yijiang people.

It was not until they walked away that Huo Yunjue slowly came back to his senses.

Concubine Wan advised distressedly: "Ajue, everyone in Ninghou Mansion has a prejudice against you. Su Mansion is also in chaos, why don't you go back to the mansion with your mother to recuperate. I can only suppress the fact that you left the mansion privately for the time being. If your father finds out, you will have no way out."

Huo Yunjue shook his head and insisted on going to Cuohezhai.

But when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he found that Cuohezhai was surrounded by Su Yanqi's guards, preventing him from entering.

Yan Si stood up and explained awkwardly: "Your Highness, the Lord has ordered that you are not allowed to enter. Your Highness, please go back."

Huo Yunjue was determined not to retreat, and said in a serious tone: "Go and inform Qi Langjun immediately. I have something to say to him in person. I will leave after I finish speaking."

Yan Si was a little hesitant, and Concubine Wan urged her, "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly."

Yan Si did not dare to disobey Concubine Wan's order, so she turned around and ran in to pass the message.

After a while, she came back and reported to Huo Yunjue in embarrassment.

"Fourth Prince, please forgive me, but the Lord... still doesn't want to see you."

Concubine Wan was angry and asked, "What does Qilang mean? Don't you even want to see me?"

Yan Si knelt down hurriedly and defended Su Yanqi: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The master has damaged a lot of his vitality in order to help the third lady get rid of the evil spirit. He doesn't want to see the majesty and the fourth prince, so he closed the door and didn't see them. He needs to calm down and recuperate now, so he can continue to bear the backlash of the poison tomorrow."

Concubine Wan was shocked and worried about Su Yanqi's health: "Qi Lang... is the poison in his body serious?"

Yan Si's eyes were red, and she choked with tears: "When the poison takes effect, it is extremely painful. Ordinary people often find it unbearable and may even choose to commit suicide. What's more, the master... has to endure twice the pain of the poison."

Concubine Wan was horrified and trembling with fear. She staggered back two steps and cried helplessly.

"Qilang...you silly boy, if anything happens to you, how can I explain to my dead brother...what will happen to my aunt and the Su family?"

Concubine Wan's face was filled with grief and she cried inconsolably.

Huo Yunjue supported the heartbroken Concubine Wan, and his expression became extremely heavy.

If Su Yanqi really can't survive this time, the Su family will face the tragic situation of having no successor.

This was a result he didn't want to see.

Huo Yunjue was in great torment and felt extremely uncomfortable.

He tried to calm himself down and called Zhihua to escort Concubine Wan back to Minghui Hall.

But he insisted on staying until Su Yanqi was willing to see him.

Yan Si couldn't persuade him to leave, so she had to give up and immediately ordered the servants to bring chairs and braziers for him to warm up and rest.
