In this world, there is no longer anyone close to me.

  Leng Ruyan woke up to see Feng Qingwan's delicate face, who forced a weak smile: "I'm troubling you again." The pain in her neck made her dare not speak too loudly.

  Feng Qing's expression turned cold as she smiled: "No need to thank me, I'm just following the orders of the Third Imperial Prince to treat you. As for those who seek death, I've never treated them."

  Feng Qing said, her hands moving more quickly to apply the medicine, but Feng Lian's eyes narrowed in pain and she bit back a cry. She only smiled weakly again: "Doctor Feng, there are some things that people know they can't do, yet still have to do. This is just human helplessness."

  "You're really lucky to be alive after ruining your body twice." Feng Qingxia helped her apply medicine, stood up, and didn't say anything else, silently walking out.

  Leng Ruyan sighed secretly, it was not that she was lucky, but when she struck, she deliberately avoided the vital parts, so as not to kill herself. If Leng Qingxiang had done it, he would have probably taken her life by now.

  She rolled her eyes and looked around the room, everything was top-notch, completely different from her own room in the Chancellor's mansion. It seemed that she had played a big game of chess, shed so many tears to perform a bitter trick, and finally relied on her maternal grandfather.

  She knew it wasn't hard for Tang Ao to recognize her, but in order for him to take the initiative for her, be heartbroken for her, and feel guilty towards her, she had to put on a show for him; otherwise, even if he recognized her, things would still go back to how they were all these years - uncaring.

  She believed that Tang Ao's neglect over the years must have been due to the obstruction of the second wife, and also Cold Ru's deliberate avoidance. She didn't know why Cold Ru did this, but now that she had taken on this identity, she would have to do things her own way.

  Such a powerful grandfather, only fools would push him out.

  The door was pushed open again, and Tang Ao rushed to the bedside excitedly, saying: "Tong'er, you're finally awake, great, great..." He said, his eyes welling up with tears again. As people get older, they miss their loved ones more.

  Leng Ruyan lay on the bed, quietly sizing him up. He was tall and sturdy, with a round face and a full beard, although his entire face was covered in stubble, it could be seen that he was still young and handsome when he was younger. A pair of eight-shaped eyebrows, his eyes were still bright, but there were already many wrinkles under his eyes, time was unforgiving.

  Leng Ruyan ignored him, instead turning to the Third Prince standing behind him and revealing a smile as refreshing as a snow lotus: "Thank you, Third Prince's doctor, for saving my life."

  "The matter of General Lao, this prince will take care of it personally." Ye Qian's pair of icy phoenix eyes gazed at the wound on her neck, becoming even colder.

  This woman is willing to stake her own life, where does she get such courage from? Doesn't she know that even a god cannot save her if the golden hairpin is just slightly off?

  But he couldn't help but admire her, that under such circumstances, if she hadn't done so, perhaps there wouldn't even be a chance for survival now, he deeply knew how terrible the struggle was.

  Hearing him say that, Leng Ruoxing finally shifted her gaze back to Tang Ao: "Thank you, General, for being willing to lend a hand to save me."

  "Little pupil, I'm your grandpa, you don't remember, when you were young, your mother brought you back." Tang Ao heard Leng Ruyue call him General, and his heart ached again.

  Leng Ruyan shook her head and sighed bitterly: "Since Mother passed away, Leng Ruyan has felt that there is no one in this world who truly cares about her. Why else would she have been longing day and night for someone to stand up and offer a word of support? Even when she was being bullied at the Prime Minister's estate, she had hoped that she had family members who could provide her with a safe haven under their wings. But in this vast world, there are so many people related by blood, yet not one of them is truly a loved one."

  Leng Ruyan said as she turned her face away sorrowfully, with tears still hanging on the long eyelashes that curled up like a folding fan.
