"Sister, you're awake!" Hong Ling supported Gu Wan Ning as she entered, guiding her to sit by Gu Qing Ning's bedside.
Looking at her lively younger sister, Gu Qing Ning grasped her hand, feeling the warmth radiating from her palm. She smiled; her sister was still alive. The dirty deeds had not yet transpired, and everything would start anew.
Gu Qing Ning couldn't help but say, "Thank goodness, you're still here."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Sister?" Gu Wan Ning chuckled, thinking that Gu Qing Ning was still dazed from her fever. Upon learning that her sister had awakened, their father even wanted to request leave from the Emperor. If it weren't for Gu Qing Ning sending Bai Zhi to repeatedly inform him that she was truly fine, he wouldn't have believed it and would have been unable to focus on court matters.
Indeed, when she had just woken up, she hadn't managed to stop Bai Zhi and Lu Yan from rushing off to inform their father and sister.
As she gazed at her younger sister, memories surged in waves through Gu Qing Ning's mind, causing her head to throb painfully and her complexion to pale gradually. Gripping Gu Wan Ning's hand tighter, she felt beads of sweat forming. Her beautiful and kind sister had been sent to a military camp in her past life and suffered unspeakable humiliation; one could only imagine the torment she endured that led her to bite off her own tongue in despair.
This was a sorrow that Gu Qing Ning could never erase from her life.
Fortunately, everything was just beginning; she would not repeat the same mistakes!
A slight pain radiated from Gu Wan Ning's hand; she knew her sister must be frightened. "Sister, don't worry. Everything will be alright." Although she couldn't see Gu Qing Ning's expression, Jiang Wan Ning sensed the fear and anxiety emanating from her sister's sweaty palm.
"I'm just worried about your eye condition." To prevent her sister from worrying, Gu Qing Ning deliberately made an excuse.
In her previous life, in order to help Gu Wan Ning find a cure for her eye ailment, she had repeatedly compromised with Pei Zhi Rui and had countless times believed he would surely find a way to heal Wan Ning's eyes. Little did she know that he would deceive her time and again while she chose to trust him each time, placing all her hopes on him in the belief that once he ascended to the throne, he would have the means to seek better treatment for her.
Jiang Wan Ning's smile faded; in order not to worry Gu Qing Ning, she feigned strength. As long as her sister was well, it would be worth it even if Wan Ning remained blind for a lifetime.
"No! Sister will definitely find a way to heal your eyes and restore your sight. Trust me." In this lifetime, she vowed to stand on her own and no longer place hope in others.
She must find a way to cure her sister's eyes.
From this moment on, she would not rest until all those who had harmed her faced retribution. Pei Zhi Rui’s dreams of the throne would be shattered; everyone who had bullied her would pay their dues in hell.
"Gu Qing Ning! Come out!" Li Ruo Feng burst into Gu Qing Ning's chamber despite Bai Zhi and Lu Yan's attempts to stop her.
She pointed an accusing finger at Gu Qing Ning, fury etched across her face.
"Auntie, what’s wrong?" Gu Qing Ning asked as she looked at the intruding Li Ruo Feng.
Before Gu Qing Ning could react further, Li Ruo Feng stormed up to her side, steadied herself, and raised her hand high before slapping Gu Qing Ning hard across the face.
