As expected, it was her own straightforward system.
Indeed, her current state was avoidable.
It goes without saying who sent the group of assassins that day. At the moment they almost harmed Qin Quexi, she had already saved the person directly.
But at that time, a thought crossed her mind and she changed her plan, sending herself up instead.
Firstly, she needed an opportunity for Qin Quexi to fully recognize his feelings; secondly, she wanted to ensure that Huang Mingge could never turn the situation around.
Nothing was more significant than herself as a bargaining chip.
After all, the angles had all been meticulously calculated by her, and she was certain that although it seemed dangerous, there was no real threat to her life.
Only a sufficiently dangerous situation could make the Phoenix Emperor and the Phoenix Monarch deeply despise the person behind the scenes.
She even specifically instructed the system to leave her unharmed but in a seemingly life-and-death situation.
However, what she didn’t expect was the magnitude of Qin Quexi’s reaction, which made her heart ache at just one glance.
She really wanted to open her eyes right away and tell him she was alright.
The system stopped her, "Host, please don’t ruin your own efforts at the final step."
Gu Shengyin’s heart cooled down a bit, and she listened to the system’s advice.
The entire Qinghuang Palace was brightly lit.
It wasn’t just Qin Quexi in the room; the Phoenix Emperor, the Phoenix Monarch, as well as a room full of Imperial Physicians and Palace Attendants stood there.
The Imperial Physician said that if she did not wake up tonight, they were afraid she truly might...
Everyone was watching over her, but the person on the bed looked so peaceful, showing no signs of waking up.
The Phoenix Monarch couldn’t help but let the tears fall.
As the ruler of a nation, the Phoenix Emperor certainly couldn’t show tears, but looking at her reddened eyes and tightly pursed lips, it was evident that her heartbreak and anticipation were no less intense than that of the Phoenix Monarch.
By contrast, Qin Quexi was much calmer.
But beneath this calm was a pain and despair heavier than hysteria.
The head of the Imperial Medical Bureau stepped forward, carefully examining the Crown Prince on the bed before shaking his head and retreating to the side.
The Phoenix Monarch finally couldn’t contain her cries.
As time ticked by, there was still no movement from the person on the bed, with the first light of dawn about to break.
Everyone had lost hope; they stayed there only to accompany her for a little longer.
In the midst of the silence, a faint call for water suddenly rang out.
Qin Quexi’s reaction was sluggish for a moment; he almost thought it was a hallucination born from his desperate longing.
The Phoenix Emperor was the first to react, exclaiming joyously, "Why are you not bringing water over quickly?" Her voice, firm though it was, shook slightly as she spoke.
Qin Quexi turned his head somewhat belatedly, the person on the bed was still weak, but indeed, she had opened her eyes!
For seven days, the tears he had not shed had finally fallen.
Seeing him , Gu Shengyin felt an immense heartache, yet she was unable to get up and hug him, to tell him she would never leave him.
The Imperial Physician carefully examined Gu Shengyin, his expression still one of disbelief.
Finally, he bowed to the Phoenix Emperor, "Your Majesty, rejoice! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has woken up and is out of life-threatening danger. With careful recuperation over time, he will recover fully."
