"Ms. Yang coughed up blood and fell into a coma because of me," Hang Qingming said resolutely, "I couldn't possibly leave with my conscience at ease if I were to just walk away now."

Letting him go before the young master was something Nan Tian and Bei Hai couldn't bring themselves to do, but with the Emperor gravely ill, if the young master didn't return, on the one hand, he would be blamed for being unfilial, and on the other, the situation within the country was unpredictable.

Just as Nan Tian and Bei Hai were preparing to persuade Hang Qingming, a Hidden Guard suddenly appeared, delivering a secret report to him. After Hang Qingming read it, his expression immediately relaxed, and there was a hint of an incredulous smile.

The secret letter from the Imperial Younger Sister said that he had been away from home too long, and that the Emperor missed him terribly, hence he feigned illness to trick him into returning.

After turning the secret letter into ashes, Hang Qingming said to Nan Tian and Bei Hai, "The Emperor is not in any danger. You go back to the inn first. We will leave after Ms. Yang wakes up." In this way, he could also stay with peace of mind. All he hoped now was for Ms. Yang to be blessed by a divine stroke of luck.

Understanding that their young master's mind was set, Nan Tian and Bei Hai respectfully complied, driving the carriage to the inn.

Meanwhile, Hang Qingming returned to the living room of Mengchen Pavilion, ignoring the hostile stares from everyone, and quietly waited.

At the same time, at the Luo family's sideyard.

"Master, Lady, Lv Luo is here. She says Ms. Yang suddenly coughed up blood and fainted. Please, Master, hurry over there," Doctor Luo and his wife were startled awake by Sister Yuan's anxious voice.

The couple's faces turned pale upon hearing the news, and they hurriedly dressed and came out, only to see Lv Luo waiting outside with an urgent and grave expression. A chill shot through their hearts simultaneously: Could it be that the young lady (Mengchen) is in serious condition?

Without a moment to spare, the couple rode in the carriage to the Yang Mansion immediately, not even glancing at Hang Qingming, and went straight into Yang Mengchen's room.

Yang Mengchen lay there with her eyes tightly shut, quietly resting on the bed, her face deathly pale, devoid of any signs of life as if she might dissipate at any moment.

The couple was shocked to their very souls.

Doctor Luo hurried over to take Yang Mengchen's pulse. After a long while, he spoke with a grave face, "The young lady has suffered a violent attack to her heart caused by stress. Let's have her take some medicine first and see.

Lv Luo, immediately send a message to Cheng'an and the others to come back, and don't tell Old Master Yang and the rest about this for now." What he left unsaid was that it seemed as if the young lady no longer had the will to live, which was a terrible omen.

Lv Luo immediately went to send the message.

"What on earth happened here?" Lady Luo asked Hai Tang with a stern voice.

Casting a resentful look at Hang Qingming, who stood aside, Hai Tang relayed the events, of course, skipping the part about the young miss having someone in her heart.

After listening to Hai Tang, Doctor Luo and his wife's faces darkened, and their gaze towards Hang Qingming became as sharp and cold as the edge of a blade.

Doctor Luo knew that the young lady seemed to have special feelings for this man, so he only glared at him without saying a word.

Whereas, Lady Luo, who was exceptionally cultured, could not bring herself to say such cruel words, yet still rebuked him sharply, "You had better pray for Mengmeng's safe recovery, or I shall never forgive you!"

Hang Qingming didn't argue.

Firstly, even though he was of noble status, this was, after all, Dongchu Country, and he didn't want to stir up trouble; secondly, these were elders who appeared to have a close relationship with the young lady, and with his upbringing, he wouldn't quarrel with elders; and thirdly, he bore an inescapable responsibility for the young lady's coughing up blood and falling into a coma.

Soon, Sister Jin and seven others returned to the mansion following Lv Luo.

Three days later, Yang Cheng'an and the rest hurried back. After examining her together, their expressions were grim.

Yang Mengchen's symptoms had healed, and there were no other illnesses, but her breath was growing weaker and even began to carry a hint of the aroma of death.

Seeing Yang Cheng'an and the others shaking their heads and sighing, Lady Xiao, who rushed over upon hearing the news, couldn't accept it, gripping Yang Mengchen's cold hand tightly, "No! It couldn't be! Old Man Wuwei once said Chenchen has profound blessings, Chenchen must be alright!"
