Chapter 318: Chapter 223
His voice attracted more than a dozen deputy generals from outside, who rushed in excitedly upon seeing the situation.
The commotion was so loud it almost tore off the roof, but the person on the bed still lay motionless.
Ming Feng raised his head, tears slipping from the corners of his eyes. He didn’t wipe them away, but leaned down and said, "All willing to sacrifice, but what about Miss Xie? The ones who let her be kidnapped by Jin Wuji are still alive and well. If not for their plotting, Miss Xie would still be enjoying wealth in the Capital City. Those people are the culprits of her death. If you don’t wake up to avenge her and instead die like this, then you’ll truly be fulfilling their wishes."
"Prince, do you want Miss Xie to die with grievances, letting the enemies revel in their success?"
The happiest would be the two princes, right?
Originally, they just wanted Xie Wanqing’s existence to influence the battle; they didn’t expect to directly eliminate this major threat.
No one would compete for the throne with them anymore.
Ming Feng kept talking, trying to awaken the person directly.
After calling for who knows how long, the brow of the person in a coma on the bed started to furrow.
Ming Feng, standing close by, saw it clearly and urgently asked for a doctor to be summoned.
Meanwhile, Lu Ziyuan was engulfed in endless remorse.
His mind was consumed with the thought that his Wanwan was dead.
He sacrificed everything for a chance to do it all over, yet she still died.
In the past life, she married him with love, but he made many mistakes, hurt her heart, subjected her to injustices, and ultimately, due to him, she was poisoned and died in agony.
In this life, she sought self-rescue and married someone else, yet still, due to his entanglement, was dragged into the struggle for the throne and kidnapped by bandits.
He rushed to save her, but he was also a bandit; he never intended to let her go.
Forcing her to compromise, forcing her to agree to marry him, and finally forcing her to abandon everything to escape... ultimately resulting in her tragic death.
In this life, she wasn’t even eighteen yet!
His Wanwan was born of a high family, a cherished noblewoman, and all her suffering in past and present came because of him.
Even in unconsciousness, Lu Ziyuan could feel pain, pain piercing to the depths of his soul, so severe he wished he could just die.
Why save him? She would be cold at the lake bottom; he should join her.
Days without her had stretched to five years already; he was living for her, yet now she was gone again, what reason was there to live?
But the sounds by the bed grew louder, clearer, each word entering his ears.
Lu Ziyuan’s brow furrowed even deeper, eventually opening his eyes.
The noisy inner chamber suddenly went silent, followed by exclamations of surprise.
"The prince is awake!"
Ming Jian led the doctor in, hearing this, hurriedly ushering the doctor inside.
Lu Ziyuan propped himself upright with his arms, remaining silent, his usually bright eyes now a void of emptiness.
Ming Jian’s nose twitched, "You have been in a coma for three days, finally waking up. Let the doctor feel your pulse."
"Everyone out." Lu Ziyuan gestured with his hand.
Including the doctor, all the deputy generals bowed and retreated.
Only Ming Feng and Ming Jian knelt on one knee, reporting the events of the past three days one by one.
Lu Ziyuan leaned against the headboard, unsure if he was listening attentively.
After a long silence, he asked, "What has that invalid been doing these days?"
...Who knows who the real invalid is.
Ming Jian thought to himself, and reported, "The people he brought have been dredging the bottom of Dayang Lake, it’s been nearly a month, day and night without rest, ... but have found nothing."
Upon hearing ’nothing found’, Lu Ziyuan’s lips pressed tightly together, "And besides that?"
