There hadn’t been any little response from Xiaoyanzi for a very long time, this half an hour seemed to pass like a decade, and everyone was very worried. Yongqi sat beside Xiaoyanzi by the bedside, held her hand and said, "Honey, you are my life. How can you expect me to live without you beside? Please wake up, I know that I shouldn’t scold you, it’s all my fault," tears started to roll out of his eyes as he looked at her sadly.

Ziwei, who is the one kneeling at Xiaoyanzi’s bedside all the time, saw that Yongqi’s tears rolling out and said, "What a sister you are, I thought you said that we are together always? Where is your word, Xiaoyanzi!!" her voice grew louder as she scream, "You wake up now, if not I won’t talk to you anymore! Xiaoyanzi, can you hear me!"

Everyone’s tears started to roll as they saw the lifeless Xiaoyanzi and was helpless. "Go and chase the imperial physician back," Saiya whispered to Ertai.

Ertai nodded and went off to the door. He saw that the imperial physician was walking briskly inside.

The imperial physician immediately took a look at Xiaoyanzi, to his horror; he announced the bad news, "Wu Ah Ge! Ziwei gege! Something’s bad, Huanzhu gege’s pulse beat is hardly felt, she can die anytime! Huanzhu gege is dying soon!"

Upon hearing this, five of them immediately rushed to the bedside and saw the lifeless Xiaoyanzi, turning ever paler; they only saw fresh red blood still gushing out of the wound.

"No!" Yongqi shouted as he held the imperial physician’s hands, "You must cure her! You must cure her!"

"I will try my best Wu Ah Ge," replied the imperial physician respectfully.

"What can we do now then?" asked Erkang.

"Just talk to her," the imperial physician said, "Let her hear all the voice to keep her from weaking. Talk to gege while I summon all the other imperial physicians and see if they got some medicine to cure gege."

Ziwei rushed and knelt at the same position and held Xiaoyanzi’s hands while Saiya joined her, "Xiaoyanzi, you are always a good sister, you mustn’t let any anything happen to you! Nothing must happen to you!"

Upon seeing her sister-in-law with such sadness, Saiya said loudly, "I thought you won’t bear to leave us will you? Xiaoyanzi you will wake up don’t you?"

Erkang added, "Live for us, and I knew that you will live long, wake up Xiaoyanzi!"

Ertai added, "Xiaoyanzi, I thought you always say you ‘da nan bu si, feng xiong hua ji’ (The trouble that she have created won’t cause her death and from unlucky changed to lucky) this you must wake up!"

Ziwei was in tears by then, she said, "See, everyone wanted you to come back, we want back the active Xiaoyanzi, why are you still so still. Don’t you remember I was once dying too? Didn’t I pull it through for you and Erkang? You must repay me back by pulling through."

Yongqi is crying already, "Xiaoyanzi, my dearest wife, why didn’t you have the slightest response? Why didn’t you? You said that you won’t be leaving me, so look at this!" he said in a hoarse voice.

Everyone was sobbing and crying now.

Erkang added, "Aren’t you are happy about being my child’s aunty? I thought you were so eager for it, and you must see the child!"

Ziwei responded, "You said you were going to witness the birth of my child! And you are going to! So you must wake up now!"

Everyone looked at Xiaoyanzi to watch for improvement.

Still no avail, the lifeless Xiaoyanzi only turned pale and nothing else.

"My lord," Yongqi cried, "Why must you take her away from me! When we are so happy right now."

"Huang Hou Niang Niang Ji Xiang," one eunuch knelt down in front of the Empress as he entered Kunning Gong.

The empress took a long time to recognize and she found out that it was Xiaoshunzi from Jing Yang Gong.

"Xiaoshunzi," Rong Mo Mo said, "Shouldn’t you be taking care of the people in Jing Yang Gong.

"Yes," Xiaoshunzi said, "I am here to tell you something bad!"

"What’s that?" the Empress asked worriedly.

"Hui Huang Hou Niang Niang," Xiaoshunzi said, "Huanzhu gege is injured and is in coma and was believed at she is dying."

"What?!" cried both alarmed Rong Mo Mo and Empress.

"Rong Mo Mo," the Empress said worriedly, "Did I hear wrongly?"

"Huang Hou Niang Niang," Rong Mo Mo said, "I don’t think so."

"Huang Hou Niang Niang," Xiaoshunzi said, "No time to waste, gege is dying soon."

Both of them immediately run to Jing Yang Gong.

"Wan Sui Ye, Ling Fei Niang Niang," Xiaoyizi shouted from outside, "Bad news, Huanzhu gege is dying! Huanzhu gege is dying!"

"What?" Qian Long could not believe his ears. He was together with MengWang and Yingying, upon hearing that he was shocked.

"It’s true," Xiaoyizi said, "Gege had a deep cut and was in coma, the Tai Yi said that gege will die anytime now!"

All of them was shocked upon hearing the news and immediately rushed to Jing Yang Gong.

"Lao Fu Ye jixiang, Qing gege jixiang," greeted Xiaoguizi respectfully as he came in briskly.

"Huanzhu gege is dying anytime now, may Lao Fu Ye go and visit her at Jing Yang Gong," he said.

"What?" Tai Hou was alarmed and Qing Er was stunned upon hearing the news.

"Really!" exclaimed Xiaoguizi impatiently, "Huanzhu gege had a deep cut and was later in coma and the Tai Yi had announced that she is dying very soon! Please go now Lao Fu Ye and Qing gege, if not it would be too late!"

Three of them ran all the way to Jing Yang Gong.

All of them arrived at Jing Yang Gong at the same time, all of them rushed to the room where Xiaoyanzi is resting.

Qian Long shouted angrily at the imperial physicians, "What do you people mean by dying? You mean that Xiaoyanzi is dying?"

"Wan Sui Ye please calm down," explained Cheng Tai Yi, "Gege is really in a very bad condition and really won’t get to live for long, her pulse is weakening every moment, Wan Sui Ye please understand."

"I don’t care whether I understand or not," Qian Long raised his voice, "I want her to be cure, if not your heads will all roll."

All of them were very worried.

Actually, Yingying had secretly rushed outside and came back, but no one noticed, as they were busy looking at the pale Xiaoyanzi.

"Please leave the bedside for awhile, let Huanzhu gege have some fresh air, " Yingying said as she squeezed herself into the crowd.

Everyone left the bedside, she took out a box and inside was just a shiny blue pill and she took it out.

"What are you doing Yingying," asked MengWang.

"Father, I know that you are worried, but she needs this more than I do," Yingying said.

Everyone was puzzled and wonder what Yingying is doing.

"Princess Yingying, maybe I know what is this?" Qian Long asked.

Yingying answered, holding the pill preciously, "Hui Qian Long Huang Shan, this pill is called the "Curing pill" it cures nearly everything, it is made up of a kind of ginseng root that is found in Mongolia mountains, and the ginseng only can be found on a particular day for 10 000 years in between and only one in the world, this ginseng can cure nearly anything, if the ginseng is not picked on that particular day, I will just withered and die by the next day."

"Yingying, are you sure you are going to use it?" asked MengWang anxiously.

"Yes father, Huanzhu gege needs it more than I really do," Yingying said.

"This is what a villager had given her as she is a good princess," said MengWang, "And he is the only one who knows about how to make this pill, so this is the last pill that we will ever have. I heard that this ginseng is in a special shape that only the villager knows how does it look like, but now, the villager is dead and there is no way finding it."

"In that case," Qian Long said looking at Xiaoyanzi then at Yingying, "You shouldn’t do it."

"Don’t worry about me," Yingying said smiling, "Please let Huanzhu gege live long enough, she has so much loved ones, and if I don’t ever give her, all of them will hate me."

Before anyone could protest, Yingying took the pill to Xiaoyanzi’s lips and make her swallow it and cover her mouth to prevent her from spitting the pill.

Seeing that Xiaoyanzi could actually swallow the pill, everyone let off a silent breath,

"Luckily, she can still swallow the pill," Yingying told everyone.

"Princess Yingying," Ziwei said, touched.

"Yes? Huanzhu gege will be alright in an hour, don’t worry Mingzhu gege," Yingying replied.

"I mean thanks," Ziwei said.

"Yes, thank you very much," Yongqi said, at first he saw that lifeless Xiaoyanzi and was very worried and did not cared much about this princess, but now, the feelings for her seemed to be arising once and again, this time even much more stronger.

"Xiaojian!" shouted Jinsuo, "What happened? You turned white! Is it something happened to Xiaojie?"

In the message that Qing Er had written for Xiaojian is like this:

Even though that it is bad news, Qing Er had always somehow ended with something sweet to calm him down.

"It’s not about Ziwei, this time is about Xiaoyanzi, she is dying," Xiaojian said.

"What?" Liu Hong exclaimed, "It couldn’t be, why is she dying?"

"I’ve got no idea, Qing Er only state that she had a cut and is dying soon!" Xiaojian cried.

"That can’t be," Liu Qing said, amused.

"No!" Jin Suo shrieked.

"I must enter the palace," Xiaojian told them.

"Count me in then," Liu Qing said.

"No," Xiaojian said, "You don’t have the permission to go in at times, wait for my news here."

"Xiaojian, please calm down. If you enter, you will get angry and create more chaos," Liu Hong said thoughtfully.

"Yes, I think so too," Jin Suo added.

He remembered what the gentle love of his had said "Don’t go to the palace now, that will cause more chaos."

"Okay," Xiaojian said calming down, "I think that maybe we wait for Qing Er’s news."

"Why isn’t she waken up yet?" asked Yongqi worriedly.

"I don’t know too," Yingying answered.

Everyone is still at the room and looked at the Xiaoyanzi tensely.

An hour has gone by…

Xiaoyanzi still did not response or what but the imperial physician assured that her condition is stabled but is just coma.

"What’s keeping her," asked Ziwei.

All of a sudden, Xiaoyanzi woke up and threw out blood all over Ziwei’s and Yongqi’s body and fainted.

"Tai Yi!!" shouted Qian Long.

Everyone tensed up again and got very worried.

Qing Er sent Xiaojian another letter and it seemed to be like this:

Upon hearing that, Xiaojian relaxed. ‘Lucky for my sister,’ he thought.

"So how’s it?" asked Jin Suo as she sees that Xiaojian himself relax and smiled.

"Her condition is stabled now," Xiaojian said.

"Oh, glad to hear that," Liu Hong said.

"So now you can rest your mind don’t you? You have been walking around the restaurant for a long time! Now go and take a rest. It’s so late already!" Liu Qing commented and laughed.

Xiaojian smiled and went back to his room, while the others tuck in for the night.
