Yu Jingchen looked ahead, saying nothing. Finding the person was the most important thing now. Fortunately…
"Where did Eunuch Jiang find these feathered arrows? How about you take me to see them?" Xinglai asked.
Jiang Ji did not refuse and led Xing Lai to the place where he had just taken down those arrows.
Yu Jingchen continued walking deeper into the area. The paths were too narrow, and he only hoped to find Nan Zhiyun as soon as possible. He was afraid the young girl would be frightened by this eerie place. His mind was filled with thoughts of whether Nan Zhiyun would cry, get hurt, or be scared. He wished he could fly to Nan Zhiyun's side immediately and hold her in his arms.
Yu Jingchen walked a little further away, but he still had a clear sense of his surroundings. Soon, he saw the pit ahead, his heart tightened, and he quickly went forward.
Sure enough, Nan Zhiyun was inside. When Yu Jingchen saw Nan Zhiyun huddled alone in a corner, her body trembling slightly, his heart felt like it was being squeezed.
"Yun'er?" Yu Jingchen called out, wanting to confirm Nan Zhiyun's safety, and then followed her downstairs.
Nan Zhiyun was a little dazed, only vaguely hearing someone calling her, her eyelids heavy. Then she felt a shadow looming over her.
"Yun'er?" Yu Jingchen reached out and put his arm around her shoulder.
Your Majesty? Nan Zhiyun was not fully conscious, but she still managed to open her eyes with difficulty. Just as she could make out the blurry scene in front of her, Yu Jingchen came into view.
"Your Majesty?" Nan Zhiyun seemed a little incredulous, wondering if she was dreaming.
"Yes, it's me. I'm here. Don't be afraid." Yu Jingchen pulled the person into his arms and comforted him softly.
Your Majesty… Nan Zhiyun came to her senses, and then tears welled up instantly. She hugged Yu Jingchen, let go completely, and cried loudly.
"Your Majesty~" Nan Zhiyun finally released the emotions she had been holding back at this moment.
Yu Jingchen had finally relaxed, but his heart started racing again after hearing Nan Zhiyun's cries.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt somewhere? Are you injured somewhere? Hmm?" Yu Jingchen wanted to check Nan Zhiyun's injuries, but Nan Zhiyun wouldn't let go.
"Waaah, I'm scared, Your Majesty, I'm scared, I thought I was going to die, waaaah~" Nan Zhiyun is now really like a little child.
Upon hearing Nan Zhiyun's voice, Yu Jingchen felt a weight lift from his heart, thinking that there shouldn't be any major problems. However, since no examination had been conducted, he couldn't be completely at ease.
"It's okay, I'm here. Don't be afraid, I'll take you out of here, don't cry." Yu Jingchen gently patted Nan Zhiyun's back, then carried her away.
Fortunately, they arrived with their entourage and saw Yu Jingchen carrying Nan Zhiyun. They breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed there was no major problem.
"Your Majesty," Fortunately, stepped forward.
"Let's go back first." Yu Jingchen held Nan Zhiyun in one arm and supported her waist with the other. Nan Zhiyun was sitting on Yu Jingchen's arm, with her arms around his neck and her head buried in the crook of his neck.
"Yes," Xinglai replied, not daring to ask further. He instructed the others to inform each other that Consort Shu had been found.
Yu Jingchen didn't delay and carried Nan Zhiyun back to the palace. This time it was a close call, and the news of Nan Zhiyun's safe return spread far and wide.
