Chapter 1645: Chapter 1638: Save Zi Wei

"Yingxue, we’ve narrowly escaped death once more."

Chu Yihan turned sideways, holding the woman in his arms, and whispered comforting words.

"Yes, this dream was so long... and so perilous." Su Yingxue’s back was drenched in sweat, and she looked utterly exhausted.

In the dream, they had perished amidst a vast army.

That dream was truly terrifying and chaotic.

Thankfully, they had awakened!

Sigh—

But then, Su Yingxue fainted again.

For seven days, she hadn’t eaten. If Rong Sheng hadn’t been looking after them, they might have been trapped in the dreamscape, perishing even in reality.

Their bodies were frail. It wasn’t until they consumed Rong Sheng’s medicinal meals and rested for an entire night that they regained some strength and spirit.

Su Yingxue was the first to inquire about everyone’s condition. "When you entered, weren’t you caught in the Nightmare Eyed Illusion?"

Rong Sheng shook her head, "Chu Yifeng knows the Silver Moon Pavilion well. The Nightmare Eye relies only on its gaze, and it doesn’t possess martial arts. Chu Yifeng ambushed it at night while blindfolded and locked it back in the underground cave."

"He’s impressive, but... how did he wake up?" Su Yingxue, now recovered, naturally remembered that Chu Yifeng had become a vegetative patient, lying in Jiang Du City the whole time, no?

How had he suddenly regained consciousness?

And he even shoved Rong Sheng around, treating her so roughly!

Hadn’t that scoundrel of a man doted singularly on Rong Sheng?

He deserves another beating!

"While he was recuperating, Zuo Qingqing sought out a warlock from the jianghu to stimulate his nerves with needles, and that woke him up, but his memory became entirely scrambled." Rong Sheng narrated it calmly, as though recounting someone else’s tale.

She maintained the same cold demeanor as always.

"What do you mean by completely scrambled memory?" Su Yingxue, who hadn’t overseen Chu Yifeng’s treatment, was unclear about the situation Rong Sheng described.

"He’s forgotten me... or, rather, he’s mistaken me in his memories, thinking I’m Zuo Qingqing." Rong Sheng uttered the words, and tears began falling without warning.

She stared out of the pavilion, tears streaming silently down her face, her ears still echoing Zuo Qingqing’s vicious declaration: "Rong Sheng, you can call me selfish or whatever you like. To have him, I’ll stop at nothing. If he refuses to marry me, I’d rather drag him to death with me!

If you dare restore his memory, I’ll invoke witchcraft and die with him, so you’ll never have him!"

"That despicable woman! Zuo Qingqing, how dare she harm Chu Yifeng? She’s utterly unworthy!" Su Yingxue stormed out, brimming with righteous anger, determined to make her pay!

She charged up to Chu Yihan and his brother, reaching out to grab the woman beside Chu Yifeng. "Zuo Qingqing, you treacherous villain!"

"Boom—"

Chu Yifeng swung his palm sharply. "Su Yingxue, just try and touch her!"

Chu Yifeng’s gaze was icy as Hades, his eyes holding a thousand frosty spikes, ready to kill her at any moment.

"You... are you out of your mind? That’s Zuo Qingqing, not the one you truly love! The one you love is Sister Rong Sheng!"

Su Yingxue, tightly embraced by Chu Yihan, roared furiously at Chu Yifeng.

"One more word of nonsense, and I’ll come at you as well!"

"Chu Yifeng!"

Chu Yihan’s icy voice boomed, "Say that again?"

"Say what? You’re just a cripple after surgery! Can’t even fight me! Stop acting tough and take care of your own health. Don’t touch what’s mine!" Chu Yifeng, knowing Chu Yihan couldn’t retaliate, scorned him as well.

But when he saw Rong Sheng in her white attire walking from behind Su Yingxue, his gaze filled immediately with a glacial chill. "Let me warn you: keep spreading these lies, and I’ll kill both you and your bastard child!"

"Chu Yifeng! Bastard child? Chu Xi is Sister Rong Sheng’s and your daughter!" Su Yingxue’s fury surged, nearly making her want to kill Zuo Qingqing on the spot.

Yet there she was, the woman daintily clad in a cyan dress, snuggling beside Chu Yifeng, softly saying, "Ah Feng, I’m so scared. Maybe I should just leave..."

"I dare you to try! Take one step away from me, and I’ll break your legs!" Chu Yifeng, while issuing this threat, spoke with a voice that was gentle and warm.

Though his expression was fierce, his eyes reflected tenderness, treating her as though she were a unique and irreplaceable treasure.

Rong Sheng felt as though her heart had been torn apart, the pain rendering her speechless.

She had never... felt such agony before.

Chu Yihan restrained Su Yingxue, preventing her from forcibly intervening. Amid the frozen atmosphere, a figure rushed in, dropping to their knees before Su Yingxue. "Your Highness! Your Majesty, you’re awake! Please, save my husband!"

"Yue Lian?"

Su Yingxue hurriedly helped her up.

Yue Lian led her downstairs to a room prepared by Ah Hong, where Zi Wei lay on a zitan wood bed by the window. His breathing was serene, but his weakness was visible to the naked eye.

Su Yingxue checked his pulse—he was barely clinging to life!

"Zi Wei, Zi Wei, why haven’t you woken up yet? Zi Wei!"

Su Yingxue shook him anxiously.

Yue Lian sobbed, her voice frail. "It’s no use, Your Majesty! For these seven days, I’ve been speaking to him nonstop, calling his name, but he hasn’t heard me. He just won’t wake up!

I thought that since you and the emperor had woken up, my husband would surely wake too. But he hasn’t!

Your Majesty, my husband is so weak now. If he doesn’t wake up soon, he won’t survive..."

He’s trapped in the dreamscape, and she truly didn’t know how to save him!

"Where is the Nightmare Eye? Where is it imprisoned?" Su Yingxue rushed off in search of Chu Yifeng.

Chu Yifeng shielded Zuo Qingqing behind him, his face cold and stern. "I’ve interrogated him for seven days already. He hasn’t said a word. If not for your prolonged slumber, he’d be dead by now."

The torment he endured at the ghost market was far worse than anything in the Ministry of Justice’s prison. Chu Yifeng had severed the Nightmare Eye’s arms and left him disfigured, yet he had still stayed silent.

Chu Yifeng had originally intended to gouge out the Nightmare Eye’s eyeballs but had refrained since Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan hadn’t awakened yet.

Now that they were awake, those cursed eyes were no longer needed.

As Chu Yifeng was about to order someone to gouge out the Nightmare Eye’s eyes, Su Yingxue intervened. "Don’t harm him! Let me see him. I must save Zi Wei. Zi Wei cannot die in this dreamscape!"

Chu Yifeng was initially unwilling to listen, but when his gaze met Chu Yihan’s cold and piercing eyes standing behind Su Yingxue, he fell silent.

He ordered Ah Hong to give Su Yingxue the key to the underground cave, warning her not to release the Nightmare Eye under any circumstances.

Su Yingxue understood the gravity of the situation and decided only she and Chu Yihan would visit the Nightmare Eye.

The dark and damp underground cave was devoid of light. The oppressive moisture in the air made it almost unbearable to breathe.

"Chu Yifeng said he’s kept the Nightmare Eye imprisoned here for years. How has this man survived?" Su Yingxue couldn’t fathom how anyone could endure such an existence, living like a worm in such an environment, and yet the Nightmare Eye had persisted.
