He kicked the door open and stormed into the room, instantly stunned by the scene inside.
Something was burning in the middle of the room. Flames flickered, giving off a foul stench.
Judging by the shape, it looked like a person.
Meanwhile, Hua Manman was slumped on the floor. Her abdomen was wounded, her dress stained red with blood, and her face was ashen. She looked as if she could stop breathing at any moment.
She hadn't expected the person bursting in to be Li Ji. She stared at him blankly, as if wondering if this was all a dream.
A painful fist clenched around Li Ji's heart as panic and worry flooded his mind.
He ran over, his limbs uncoordinated with panic, and scooped Hua Manman up with trembling hands.
"Why are you bleeding so much?"
Before Hua Manman could open her mouth, he spoke rapidly.
"Don't talk. Save your strength. I'll take you to the Imperial Physician right now."
With that, he ran outside, carrying her in his arms.
