Chapter 82: The Palace Blood is Still There

The sky was beginning to turn pale, and the east was gradually getting brighter.

Shen Yuning slowly woke up in Xiao Yihan's arms and found that she was covered with his cloak. When she raised her eyes, she met his gentle and handsome eyes.

She quickly stood up and said shyly, "Master, I'm sorry for the hard work."

She handed the cloak back to him respectfully, her cheeks flushed.

Falling asleep in the arms of a top martial artist is indeed refreshing. Physical fatigue disappears without a trace, and the whole person feels refreshed.

Xiao Yihan's eyes were bloodshot, and his handsome face was dotted with a few blue stubbles. Although he looked haggard, it added a bit of masculine charm.

He is so handsome that even when he looks haggard, he has a kind of hazy morbid beauty that makes people want to love him.

Shen Yuning turned around, not daring to look again, but met the gaze of Pei Yanzhou and Chu Mingzhao not far away.

She was calm and composed on this side, but the two men on the other side had red eyes, as if they had lost some treasure.

She did not go up to say hello. After two days of life and death trials, if it were not for her luck, she would probably have died.

Therefore, the Pei family’s kindness should be repaid.

Seeing that Shen Yuning had woken up, Ye Feng hurried over and bowed to Xiao Yihan:

"Your Highness, I have something to give you." He reached out and touched the strand of hair in his sleeve.

That was what Shen Yuning gave him when he was in danger of life and death, and it also contained a long passage.

Shen Yuning thought of what happened in the back mountain that day, and her heart tightened. Now that she was alive and well, how could she tell Xiao Yihan about her feelings?

How embarrassing is this?

She quickly waved her hand and said, "Lord Ye Feng, that's not necessary. I'm with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince right now, so there's no need for you to...pass it on again!"

She gave Ye Feng a very awkward look, hoping he could understand what she meant.

Ye Feng ignored her and handed the lock of hair to Xiao Yihan. "Your Highness, Doctor Shen asked me to give this lock of hair to you before he was exchanged for hostages by the Black Wind Village."

"She said that if she didn't survive this time, please take care of her mother; but if she returns safely..."

"Ye Feng!" Shen Yuning's tongue was tied. "I... I'm safe now. You don't need to say anything else!"

Ye Feng frowned, "Doctor Shen said that if she returns safely, she will marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Shen Yuning: "..."

"Doctor Shen also said that Hongyao made her fall in love with you after kissing her!"

“!!!”

Shen Yuning's heart was completely dead, and she had no face at all.

"Well, Master, people...people in life-or-death situations often say nonsense to boost their courage. You...you shouldn't take it to heart!"

She always felt that Xiao Yihan's concern and care for her might have come from the Meishan Sect rather than love between a man and a woman.

After all, he has a hidden illness, so maybe he really can't be moved.

Looking at Ye Feng again, she used to think that he was reliable and the best at guessing people's hearts, but she didn't expect that he was so clueless.

Shen Yuning's face was completely red. There was nothing more embarrassing than this. She wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Xiao Yihan stood there in a daze, unable to move for a long time.

When he came back to his senses, a hint of surprise first flashed in his eyes, and then turned into ecstasy. He stared at Ana Shen, suppressing the urge to hug her in his arms.

If there weren't so many soldiers present, I would definitely kiss her.

Seeing that the mission was completed, Ye Feng retreated silently.

After the twists and turns of the past few days, he realized that General Pei was not suitable for Doctor Shen.

A real man is indecisive and hesitant. He clearly loves someone deeply, but he never dares to move forward.

Moreover, even if they make up their minds, they can be easily influenced by others. They are really not a good match.

Xiao Yihan is brave, resourceful, handsome, and a perfect match for Doctor Shen.

Xiao Yihan took the lock of hair and put it in front of his heart, "Number 7632, remember to fulfill your promise."

"Don't go back on your word and humiliate the reputation of our Meishan Sect."

As soon as these words were spoken, the tips of both of their ears turned red.

He used the same tactics as the head of the sect to pressure her, and she was really scared.

At this moment, a man who looked like a camp doctor stepped forward and said respectfully to Shen Yuning, "Miss Shen, are you injured anywhere? Do you need me to check for you?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked, but as soon as she asked she felt sore and painful all over.

"Thank you, doctor." She said and stretched out her slender wrist.

"Ning'er!"

Pei Yanzhou suddenly shouted and walked forward.

He simply pulled down her sleeve and covered her again, "Ning'er, no!"

"Wait... wait until we get back to the capital, and I'll have someone check you out, okay?"

"Find a...female doctor."

His expression was extremely unnatural when he spoke, and there was a hint of deep heartache in his eyes.

Everyone present could guess what Pei Yanzhou was worried about.

The bandits in Black Wind Village were notoriously evil and treacherous, and countless women had been violated by them.

Shen Yuning was abducted by them for two days and two nights. I'm afraid she has already...

If the camp doctor examined her now and saw that the toad blood on her forearm was gone, he was afraid that she would be criticized.

It would be better to wait until we return to the capital and find a reliable person to treat us.

Xiao Yihan's expression immediately turned cold. "Can Ning'er's injury be delayed until we get to the capital? What are you thinking, General Pei?"

"Camp doctor, don't worry about it, just keep taking my pulse!"

He naturally knew Pei Yanzhou's concerns, but when his life was at stake, he had never considered that matter at all.

Those who march and fight are heroes if they survive. Who cares about that kind of thing?

Shen Yuning rolled up her sleeves and said to the camp doctor, "Doctor, please help me take a good look."

There were several bloodstains on the snow-white arm, but the red toad's blood was extremely dazzling.

Without even looking at Pei Yanzhou, she whispered in Xiao Yihan's ear, "I can poison you. No one who goes to school in Meishan can touch me!"

Xiao Yihan rubbed her messy hair with heartache, suppressing the love in his heart in his eyes, "Be good, I'm glad you're okay."

No matter what you do, I will want you.

Pei Yanzhou was both ashamed and excited. He was ashamed that he was thinking about chastity before his own safety was in danger. It was a bit embarrassing.

What's exciting is that Shen Yuning was not violated by the bandits, so she won't have any psychological trauma - when I spend my wedding night with her, she will still have a wonderful experience.

——

Time passed quickly, and Shen Yuning's injuries were basically healed.

With her own strength, the Black Wind Village was completely destroyed without a single soldier being killed, and she also saved many missing girls and children.

There is no doubt that she has made great contributions this time.

Although the Japanese prince escaped, it was indeed not appropriate to kill him directly during the encirclement and suppression. After all, it involved the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and there were too many things involved.

Presumably, he could escape easily. In addition to his own strong martial arts skills, Shen Yuning also had other considerations.

—

Xuanjia Camp.

Pei Yanzhou has finished training his soldiers early these days and has been hanging around the medical camp.

He waited for several days, but still no sign of Shen Yuning.

After enduring for a long time, he finally lost his temper and called the medicine boy to ask:

"What's going on? Doctor Shen has clearly recovered, so why isn't he at the medical camp?"

"With so many wounded soldiers, she...she doesn't even care?"

The medicine boy replied tremblingly, "General, have you forgotten? Doctor Shen has already handed over all matters. Once she recovers, she will take up her post at the Imperial Hospital."

"What? When did it happen?" Pei Yanzhou's face turned pale, and he obviously couldn't accept the fact.

"It happened a while ago, and you personally approved the handover document..."

"I...why don't I remember anything?"

He only now remembered that when he was having a quarrel with Shen Yuning a few days ago, she did bring him some books for him to review, and also told him about the handover and the Imperial Hospital.

But he was confused at the time and didn't take it seriously at all.

It turned out that she had been making the final handover in those days.

"She... Doctor Shen will not come again in the future?"

The medicine boy nodded seriously, "Yes, it should be."

"I heard the general personally tell Doctor Shen to avoid...avoid you when we meet next time!"

Pei Yanzhou just felt numb all over and his scalp was tingling.

How could I be such a jerk? God, what on earth was I doing these past few days?

He quickly called Ye Feng:

"Send this note to the Shen Mansion and tell Ning'er that I'll be waiting for her at the Yuelai Inn tonight!"

"She has to go. I have something extremely urgent to deal with. It's... military intelligence!"
