Chapter 43 The Body Makes a Choice
"Your Highness, you can't do that!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to jump onto the horse, Liu Zhongquan hurriedly knelt forward and hugged Xiao Yan's legs.
Cui Zhe and others behind Liu Zhong also knelt down.
"Your Highness, you just pulled out the arrow and the bleeding just stopped. If you were to rush on the road..."
Liu Zhongquan's voice choked with sobs, and he hugged Xiao Yan's legs tighter.
Xiao Yan kicked the man away and said in a cold voice, "Get lost."
Meng Mingshu was abducted by the Xie family on the street. Even the Wang family said that Meng Mingshu was whipped in the street by the Xie family girl that day.
These are enough to show that the man and Meng Mingshu have a big grudge.
Now that Meng Mingshu is in this man's hands, one can imagine how much suffering she will suffer.
Xiao Yan clenched his palms, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, a sharp pain.
Meng Mingshu has always been spoiled. When she was with him before, she couldn't stand any hardship or pain.
Thinking that Meng Mingshu might be suffering now, Xiao Yan couldn't remain calm at all.
He let go of the reins and was about to mount the horse.
The dull pain in his body came in waves. Xiao Yan lowered his head and looked. Sure enough, his chest and abdomen were stained red, and the smell of blood was spreading to his nose.
It is exactly as Liu Zhongquan said.
"Your Highness!"
Liu Zhongquan was kneeling on the ground and didn't care when Xiao Yan kicked him. It should be said that he had expected it.
After all, if he went up to persuade his master when he was anxious, it would be like walking into a gun.
"Your Highness! Your body is worth a million gold. Your health affects millions of ordinary people, as well as the nobles and the young princess."
"After the noble lady and the little princess are found, if they see that His Highness is seriously injured, they will surely be worried. For the sake of the noble lady and the princess, His Highness should also take care of himself."
Xiao Yan clenched his fists, he knew that Liu Zhongquan was right.
And it wasn't his choice at the moment, his body had already made the choice.
Even though he didn't want to delay even a moment, Xiao Yan had no choice but to travel by carriage.
Fortunately, the carriage can travel at night.
"Go prepare the carriage!"
Liu Zhongquan let out a cry, then happily got up from the ground.
"As you command! I'll arrange it right away!"
"Doctor Liu! Stop the bleeding and bandage His Highness!"
Doctor Liu rolled his eyes inwardly. Eunuchs are eunuchs, they are the most flattering.
Is he blind or stupid? Liu Zhongquan needs to make arrangements here.
Although he was secretly complaining in his heart, Doctor Liu did not show it on his face, and his hands moved quickly and steadily.
Seeing that the bleeding had stopped again, Doctor Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The same was true for everyone else present.
After all, Xiao Yan's safety concerns the lives of all of them.
No, now we have to add the noble lady and the little princess.
Just now, when His Highness heard that the nobleman had been captured, his horrifying look as if he wanted to eat people frightened everyone.
This is enough to show how much His Highness values the noble lady and her daughter.
I just hope that Miss Xie doesn't go too far, otherwise the Xie family will be finished.

Meng Mingshu held Tuan'er in her arms and ran up the mountain without stopping for a moment.
She ran for an unknown amount of time until the sky brightened in the mountains, and then Meng Mingshu dared to stop.
"Tuan'er, Tuan'er."
While calling her daughter, Meng Mingshu lowered her head and used her forehead to feel Tuan'er's warmth.
"Mother...Mother, Tuan'er is cold..."
Tuan'er opened her eyes weakly, her little face flushed red from fever.
The little dumpling, who used to be full of energy every day, now has no strength in his voice.
Meng Mingshu's eyes were red and heartache was surging in her heart.
"Be good, Tuan'er. Mother will go find some medicine right away..."
In the past few days at the Xie family, Meng Mingshu was whipped by Xie Zhiwan, and the wounds on her body were never treated.
Xie Zhiwan had punished him by making him kneel, and his knees were already bruised.
After that, she was pushed into the pool again and again, and she and Tuan'er even spent a night soaking in the reeds in the river.
After getting ashore, we ran up the mountain without stopping.
In this situation, even an iron man can't stand it.
Meng Mingshu herself had already developed a fever. If she hadn't held on to her last breath, she would have collapsed by now.
Fortunately, Meng Mingshu was lucky. When she was about to run out of energy, she found some herbs.
"Tuan'er, Tuan'er, wake up, dear baby, open your mouth."
Meng Mingshu crushed the herbs, squeezed out the juice, and poured it into Tuan'er's mouth.
Seeing Tuan'er swallowing the green medicine continuously, Meng Mingshu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She also picked up some herbs and stuffed them into her mouth.
The summer was scorching hot, and even in the mountains, Meng Mingshu was still sweating profusely after such a long escape.
The sweat slid across the whip marks on Meng Mingshu's back, causing waves of trembling pain.
Feeling both painful and dizzy, Meng Mingshu could no longer bear it and passed out.
When she regained consciousness, it was getting dark and she had slept the entire day.
"Tuan'er?"
Meng Mingshu quickly reached out to touch Tuan'er's forehead.
Although it was still hot, it was obviously not as scorching as it was in the early morning.
She felt a little relieved.
"Tuan'er, let's drink some more medicine..."
Meng Mingshu gently coaxed the weak little girl in her arms, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Tuan'er struggled to open his eyes: "Drink, drink the medicine, Tuan'er, be good."
"Mother, don't cry."
Tears welled up in Meng Mingshu's eyes.
She implicated Tuan'er and made her suffer with her.
After feeding the medicine again, Meng Mingshu looked at the darkening sky and felt worried.
The night in the deep mountains is not easy. If you encounter jackals, tigers or leopards, there is no way to survive.
Meng Mingshu made a decision in her heart. She decided to keep moving forward and look for a way down the mountain.
At least go to the foot of the mountain.
Meng Mingshu was lucky. After walking into the mountains for almost an hour, she found a way down the mountain.
Meng Mingshu also saw smoke from cooking in the distance.
She walked in the direction of the smoke, knowing that this was the right direction.
After walking for a while, Meng Mingshu felt as if something was following them from behind.
She looked back and saw green eyeballs shining in the dim sky.
Meng Mingshu was extremely nervous.
They actually encountered a wolf!
Meng Mingshu ran forward desperately.
Just when Meng Mingshu was about to be caught up, the wolf suddenly howled and fell to the ground.
"Girls, are you okay?"
Meng Mingshu turned around and saw an arrow stuck in the wolf's body.
He was a middle-aged hunter, and he was accompanied by a little girl who looked about the same age as Meng Mingshu.
Meng Mingshu stood up holding Tuan'er, her face extremely pale.
But he still shook his head and tried to force a smile:
"Thank you both for saving us, mother and daughter."
"I will never forget your life-saving grace. In the future..."
The girl interrupted Meng Mingshu with a hearty laugh:
"Sister, it's okay. Even without you, Daddy and I would still kill this wolf.
Today's harvest is quite good, and this wolf skin is worth a lot of money."
"Just sister, why are you in the mountains so late at night?"
The girl looked at Tuan'er in Meng Mingshu's arms:
"Is this your sister? She looks very unhappy, and so do you.
You must stay at my house for one night. It’s very dangerous in the mountains at night.”
Although they didn't know each other and Meng Mingshu was still wary, she nodded.
The mountains were dangerous, and she could only take a gamble and follow the father and daughter down the mountain.
————
"You're finally back..."
The middle-aged woman paused as she was about to open the door and looked at Meng Mingshu:
"Who is this girl?"
Meng Mingshu's slightly tense heart was now mostly relieved.
This hunter has a wife and a daughter at home, so it is unlikely that he would do anything evil.
The girl took the middle-aged woman's arm and said, "Mom, Dad and I picked it up in the mountains."
