When Shen Qiuchi and Xiao Qi returned to Fengyi Palace, Shen Qingxu and the other two were still in a coma.

Mu Yunzhou's injury was not serious. The arrow only pierced the outer edge of his shoulder and his life was not in danger.

As for why he fainted, after a joint consultation among the imperial doctors, they concluded that Mu Yunzhou fainted due to excessive fright!

Xu Xingyi was also lying next to Mu Yunzhou at this time, making it convenient for the imperial physician to treat both of them. The injuries on his body were mostly superficial, with just some bleeding, and no vital injuries. He was exhausted from fighting for too long, and he would be fine after resting for a while.

After bandaging the wounds of the two men, the people from the Imperial Hospital reported the physical conditions of Mu Yunzhou and Xu Xingyi to the emperor and empress.

The emperor and empress finally breathed a sigh of relief when they knew the three people were safe.

Among the three people, Shen Qingxu was well protected. He only suffered some bumps on his body and woke up at noon.

But after waking up, he kept staring at his hands and refused to talk to anyone.

"Qingxu."

Only when she heard Shen Qiuchi's voice would Shen Qingxu react.

Shen Qiuchi sighed, got on the bed with his clothes on, and held Shen Qingxu in his arms as usual.

She waved her hand to dismiss all the palace servants, and there were only the two sisters in the room.

"Sister, are you okay? Aunt Mei Qing said that you were infected with the epidemic and had a high fever. Why are you now..." Shen Qingxu leaned in Shen Qiuchi's arms, looking at her hands.

These seemingly slender, fair and delicate hands were already stained with blood and could never be washed away.

She killed someone, and the scene before the man in black died intertwined in front of her eyes, and finally turned into a bloody mouth that swallowed her whole...

When Shen Qiuchi heard Shen Qingxu say that it was Mei Qing who told them that she was ill, his eyes darkened, then returned to normal.

"Qingxu, this is actually a conspiracy between my sister and the emperor, the purpose is to find out who is behind this."

"I'm glad my sister is okay!"

Seeing that Shen Qingxu was still staring at his hands, Shen Qiuchi sighed and stretched out his hands: "Qingxu, sometimes we can't help ourselves in many things. Sister has been involved in countless deaths. Is sister a bad person?"

Shen Qingxu spoke without even thinking: "How could my sister be a bad person! The people my sister punishes are the bad guys who have committed all kinds of evil! I know that my sister sometimes kills people out of necessity!"

"You understand the truth, why can't you figure it out when it happens to you? You killed those two people to protect yourself, and you also protected Mu Yunzhou, you did nothing wrong."

"But......"

"If you hadn't resisted and let those two people kill you and your friend, if you were dead, have you ever thought about what would happen to me? You are my only relative in this world! What would I do if something happened to you?"

Shen Qingxu lowered his head and said nothing.

"Qingxu, sometimes, there are things we have to do, and people we have to kill."

"To achieve their goal, those two people broke the legs of innocent people and dug out their bones, causing countless people to die in agony..."

"Faced with such an evil man, you killed him and prevented more people from suffering. You did nothing wrong!"

Facing Shen Qiuchi's earnest advice, Shen Qingxu nodded heavily.

She suddenly missed her previous life a little.

Although her family was not wealthy in her previous life, she lived a carefree life every day. She didn't have to worry about anything and just did what she was supposed to do when the time came.

Although she now lives a life of luxury, her life does not seem as simple as in her previous life.

"Qingxu, you don't have to think so much. Your sister is here for everything. Just be a happy girl. Can you forget about these unhappy things?" Shen Qiuchi stroked Shen Qingxu's head and comforted her softly.

Leave all these dark matters to her.

"Sister." Shen Qingxu leaned dependently in Shen Qiuchi's arms and closed her eyes.

……

"Oh my god!!!"

"My! son!"

"You died such a tragic death! How could you be so cruel? Don't abandon me and let me die alone!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door.

"Qingxu, have a good rest. I'll go out and take a look."

"Sister, I'll go with you."

Shen Qingxu subconsciously grabbed Shen Qiuchi's hand.

"I'll let Wei Yu come in and change your clothes. It's cold outside."

Shen Qiuchi patted the back of Shen Qingxu's hand soothingly, and left the room only after seeing Shen Qingxu nod.
