Hearing the knock on the door, Ji Yunchuan quickly covered his lower body with the quilt and looked outside nervously.
"who?"
"Cousin, it's me."
"Cousin Mo'er?"
Ji Yunchuan was a little surprised, but still let Chen Moer in.
When Chen Moer pushed open the door and walked in, her legs were weak and she looked very embarrassed.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yunchuan felt very strange and asked a few questions casually.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you walking so weakly?"
"These past few days, I've been locked up in the woodshed by Shen Ningyuan. I haven't had enough to eat for several days. She only let me out tonight."
"So, you're hungry?"
Chen Moer nodded, "Yes, I'm hungry."
Ji Yunchuan paused, then continued to ask: "Why did Shen Ningyuan suddenly lock you up?"
"No reason."
Chen Moer didn't want to say too much about this matter.
Then his gaze shifted downwards to Ji Yunchuan's lower body, and he asked, "How many toes did he cut off from you?"
“…”
Ji Yunchuan was silent for a moment, then said truthfully, "Ten."
"Sure enough, it's just as I thought."
"You know him so well that you knew from the beginning that he would chop off ten of my toes?"
Chen Moer nodded, "Yes."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ji Yunchuan asked anxiously in a deep voice.
"I was locked up in the woodshed by Shen Ningyuan, how could I remind you?" Chen Moer raised an eyebrow and asked, "Besides, who told you to be so stupid as to go against his wishes and reveal your fake death identity to return to the Ji family?"
"If I don't come back, the Ji family will be ruled by that bastard!" Ji Yunchuan said gritting his teeth.
"So what?" Chen Mo'er snorted coldly, "Cousin, you are really confused. The title of the Ji family is nothing compared to the future merits of following the dragon."
“…”
Ji Yunchuan was left speechless.
He now realizes this.
But it was too late, he had already returned to the Ji family.
Frowning, Ji Yunchuan asked in a deep voice, "What should we do now? It's already happened. He chopped off my toes!"
Ji Yunchuan became more and more angry as he spoke, and he even lifted the quilt.
Chen Moer was not surprised at all when she saw the bloody pair of feet on the bed.
It seems that I'm used to it.
"At the beginning, I reminded you not to go against his wishes, but you never took my words seriously." Chen Moer said softly.
Ji Yunchuan became even more anxious, "Chen Moer, are you teaching me a lesson?"
"I don't want to hear any more of your preaching now. Can you please shut up?"
Chen Moer frowned, "Okay, I won't say anything more. I'm here to bandage your wound."
After saying that, Chen Moer walked straight forward.
"Get out! I don't need you to bandage me!" Ji Yunchuan roared.
Chen Moer immediately stood still, looking at Ji Yunchuan with a cold expression, "Are you sure?"
"If the wound is not treated in time, it might not just be these toes that will be damaged, but the entire foot!"
Chen Moer warned in a deep voice.
Ji Yunchuan hesitated for a moment and seemed to be frightened.
He immediately avoided Chen Moer's sight and said, "Okay, then you come and bandage me."
Chen Moer still had no expression on her face. She walked towards Ji Yunchuan and bandaged him patiently.
After a simple debridement, Chen Moer began to apply medicinal powder on Ji Yunchuan's feet.
As soon as the powder touched the wound, Ji Yunchuan screamed in pain.
He asked angrily, "Chen Mo'er, what medicine did you give me? Why does it hurt so much?"
Chen Moer said calmly, "This is the best medicine for wounds. Although it can't heal your toe, it can help you get better. You can go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow."
At this time, Ji Yunchuan was sweating profusely from the pain.
But after hearing what Chen Moer said, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Okay, then you continue."
Chen Moer didn't say anything and continued to apply medicine to Ji Yunchuan. Ji Yunchuan gritted his teeth and endured it.
Finally, Chen Moer finished bandaging Ji Yunchuan and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, rest for a night, and you'll be able to walk tomorrow." Chen Moer said slowly, "If His Majesty wants you to enter the palace, you won't be exposed."
"Okay." Ji Yunchuan gritted his teeth and responded.
Then, Ji Yunchuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did His Highness ask you to come over and bandage my wound?"
Chen Moer shook her head and sneered, "You've been with him for so long, don't you understand him? Why would he care about your life or death?"
“…”
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan felt powerless.
"Mo'er, although you and I are only cousins, I have always treated you as my own sister. In front of you, there are some things I don't want to hide from you." Ji Yunchuan sighed and said, "I regret surrendering to His Highness."
"You regret it now?" Chen Mo'er sneered, "If you hadn't disobeyed his wishes and returned to the Ji family, would His Highness have treated you like this?"
"Ji Yunchuan, if I were you, you would never say such things in front of me." Chen Moer reminded again.
Ji Yunchuan took a deep breath and smiled weakly: "Yeah, why would I tell you this? Even if the whole world would betray him, you definitely wouldn't."
"I am asking for trouble by saying these words in front of you."
After finishing speaking, Ji Yunchuan looked at Chen Moer and said seriously: "Sometimes, I really envy His Highness for having such a person who will never betray him."
Chen Moer: “…”
"Cousin, now is not the time to discuss this. The news of your return has already spread." Chen Moer frowned and said, "This means you are the only survivor of that battle. His Majesty will definitely summon you to the palace to inquire about the situation."
"You should think about what to say when you see His Majesty tomorrow."
Ji Yunchuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "If Shen Ningyuan is willing to accompany me, that would be great."
"With her here, His Majesty won't make things too difficult for me."
Chen Moer nodded, but still said truthfully: “Even so, Shen Ningyuan will definitely not accompany you.”
Ji Yunchuan frowned, "What about His Highness? Didn't he make any preparations?"
Chen Mo'er's expression turned cold, and she asked directly, "This happened so suddenly, His Highness didn't even have time to prepare. How do you expect him to plan for you?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunchuan felt his vision go dark. He said in despair, "Is there really no solution at all? How am I going to face His Majesty's accountability when I enter the palace tomorrow?"
"There is a way, but it depends on whether you are willing to do it." Chen Moer said quietly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunchuan immediately became anxious and looked at Chen Moer excitedly, "Tell me quickly, what's the solution?"
Chen Moer stared at Ji Yunchuan and said word by word: “Please ask Shen Ningyuan to let her accompany you to the palace.”
