When Xiao Yi returned, he happened to run into the soldiers who came to search the place, but Xuan Li and his men kept him blocked at the door.
After Xiao Yi had tidied himself up, he opened the door and allowed the Imperial Guards to search him.
Although these Imperial Guards were ordered by the Emperor to conduct the search, Prince Yi was not someone to be offended easily, so the search did not take too long.
However, Xiao Yi was seriously injured and was only able to stay here by sheer willpower. After the Imperial Guards left, he collapsed as soon as he relaxed.
Xuan Li and the others were in a flurry of activity, and the physicians of Prince Yi's residence were also in a chaotic state, rushing forward to treat the patients.
Nan Wusi waited until late into the night but still couldn't hear any specific news about Xiao Yi. Only Nan Wuyu later relayed a message saying that the Imperial Guards had gone to Prince Yi's residence but hadn't found anything. Prince Yi was also on guard at the time, so it should be safe.
But Nan Wusi still couldn't feel at ease. If Xiao Yi really hadn't run into any problems, he should have contacted her through telepathy long ago.
In the end, Nan Wusi waited and slept on the table all night.
Upon waking up the next day, Nan Wusi immediately called out to Xiao Yi in his mind again, but there was still no response.
"No, I have to go to Prince Yi's residence." Nan Wusi suddenly stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and said to himself.
"Zhizhi," Nan Wusi called out, "bring me a basin of hot water, I need to wash up."
"Yes, Miss," Zhizhi replied from outside the door, then went to fetch water.
Namo Si was still somewhat restless, pacing back and forth in the room.
"Sisi." Suddenly, Xiao Yi's voice echoed in Nan Wusi's mind.
"Xiao Yi! Are you alright?" Nan Wusi was both surprised and delighted that Xiao Yi had finally responded to her.
"I'm fine." Xiao Yi's voice sounded weak, indicating that his injury was indeed very serious.
"I've come to see you," Nan Wusi said.
"I'm fine. Sisi, you still have to go to the palace for the martial arts competition later, have you forgotten?" Xiao Yi chuckled, it seemed that Nan Wusi didn't take Helan Wenyue's challenge to heart at all.
"Oh no! I forgot." Nan Wusi then remembered that Helan Wenyue had challenged her to a duel at the end of the banquet last night.
"Sisi, you should prepare yourself properly. Princess Beihuan's strength should not be underestimated," Xiao Yi reminded her.
"Okay, then take care of yourself and make sure you heal properly," Nan Wusi also reminded him.
“Yes, I will,” Xiao Yi replied.
“Well…” Nanwu thought of something and hesitated, then said, “Never mind, it’s nothing.”
"I will go to watch the game." Xiao Yi seemed to know what Nan Wusi wanted to ask.
"Okay, see you then." Nan Wusi's tone clearly conveyed a sense of joy; she was beginning to look forward to every encounter with Xiao Yi.
Although Xiao Yi was happy, he only realized when he woke up that he was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and even moving his hands and feet was difficult.
"Xuan Li." Xiao Yi knew that Xuan Li was right next to him, so he called out.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?" Xuan Li stepped closer.
"Tear these apart for me, I need to go to the palace later." Even though he couldn't see, Xiao Yi could sense that he must look ridiculous.
"How can that be? The doctor said we can't remove it, or the wound will reopen." Xuan Li shook his head; he always listened to the doctor's advice.
"You're not even listening to me anymore?" Xiao Yi feigned anger.
"Your Highness, you almost died last night! Please forgive me, but I will only listen to the physician now." Xuan Li was almost scared to death last night, and the prince actually did such a dangerous thing himself. Xuan Li was very angry.
However, what angered him was that he hadn't been able to surpass the prince in martial arts over the years, and now the prince had to do such a dangerous thing himself. But this time, he was also somewhat annoyed with Nan Wusi, since the prince was doing this for her sake.
"How can I enter the palace like this?" Xiao Yi frowned. He had no choice but to go to the palace today.
"I'll go ask the doctor." After saying that, Xuan Li ran off in a flash, leaving Xiao Yi lying helplessly on the bed.
Meanwhile, Zhizhi had prepared hot water and brought it into the room.
"Miss, let me help you with your washing up," Zhizhi said.
“Okay.” Nan Wusi did not refuse. She felt both excited and sleepy.
After washing up, Nan Wusi went to her own training ground to warm up. However, not long after, Nan Wuyu sent someone to call her, saying that she should go to the palace.
Seeing Nan Wusi's excitement today, Nan Wuyu knew that Xiao Yi should be alright, although he didn't know how Nan Wusi got the information, and even he couldn't find any trace of him.
"Is Prince Yi alright?"
"It should be alright now." Actually, Nan Wusi wasn't entirely sure, but as long as Xiao Yi was still alive, that was enough, so she didn't think about anything else.
"Second brother, are you also participating in this martial arts contest to find a husband today?" Nan Wusi changed the subject.
"..." Nan Wuyu was speechless, but this martial arts contest to choose a husband was quite fitting. He really didn't expect that the Northern Huan princess would go to all this trouble. Why not just have a proper marriage alliance?
Nan Wusi secretly chuckled as he looked at Nan Wuyu's speechless expression, "Second brother, you should just go up there, exchange a couple of moves, and admit defeat to avoid getting beaten up."
"You have so little confidence in your second brother?" Nan Wuyu rolled his eyes at Nan Wusi.
"If you can beat me, then I might have some faith in you." Nan Wusi laughed heartily, showing off his fist.
"Fine, I don't want to marry this Northern Huan princess anyway." Nan Wuyu offered himself an out.
"Hey second brother, you're not getting any younger, when are you going to find me a sister-in-law?" Nan Wusi's gossipy nature suddenly ignited. Her second brother never seemed to show any interest in any girl.
"Why are you worrying about this?" Nan Wuyu tapped Nan Wusi's forehead, never expecting that his little sister would be concerned about his marriage.
"I was just curious," Nan Wusi muttered, rubbing his forehead.
"And what about you? Have you really fallen for Prince Yi?" Nan Wuyu asked Nan Wusi in return.
Now it was her turn to answer, and Nan Wusi stammered again, her face burning red, "I think so."
In fact, Nan Wusi still hasn't figured out whether she has really fallen in love with Xiao Yi. She just feels very relaxed and at ease when she is with Xiao Yi.
"Do you want to marry him?" Nan Wuyu then asked.
"Second Brother! You asked way too bluntly," Nan Wusi said shyly.
"Little sister, the difference in your status with Xiao Yi is too great, and both of you are very sensitive. It would be extremely difficult for you to be together." Nan Wuyu didn't want to discourage his little sister, but that was Prince Yi, while she was a young lady from the General's Mansion. There was absolutely no possibility for the two of them, at least for now.
Nan Wusi fell silent after hearing this. She hadn't figured out what path she wanted to take in the future; she was just someone being pushed along by fate.
