Wang Yu and Xue Ying only glanced at it before turning their heads away; they didn't see anything.
"Awoo!"
The tiger seemed to sense Lin Yuxin's feelings and stayed by her side the whole time.
That thing was incredibly powerful, which terrified the tiger and made it even more determined to follow this powerful woman.
Therefore, they will guard the area very carefully and check the surroundings meticulously!
Lin Yuxin didn't have time to pay attention to the tiger's thoughts. She had just disinfected Li Xiaochen's wound and was now stitching it up.
Because Li only had a dozen or so wounds of varying sizes, Lin Yuxin knelt on the ground and stitched them up for two whole hours.
In the end, Lin Yuxin's legs were numb and she could no longer feel them, and her hands were trembling, but she still persevered.
When Lin Yuxin put down the needle, she felt a sudden release, her vision went black, and she fell backward.
"Princess!"
Xueying and Wang Yu were both taken aback when they saw this, and quickly stepped forward to support her and prevent her from falling to the ground.
However, Xueying was a bit far away, and Wang Yu was focused on the prince, so he was a beat too slow and failed to grab Lin Yuxin's arm. Lin Yuxin fell straight down.
"Awoo!"
In the end, the tiger guarding her reacted quickly, pouncing and lying down under Lin Yuxin, becoming her cushion.
Seeing this, Xueying and the other person breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to help Lin Yuxin up, asking with concern:
"Princess, are you alright?"
"It's nothing. I was just kneeling on the ground for a long time and my expression was tense. When I suddenly relaxed, I couldn't hold on for a while and I felt dizzy. I'll be fine after a rest."
After resting for a while, Lin Yuxin took a pill and felt much better. When she heard Xueying's concerned question, she shook her head and said she was fine.
She reached out and stroked the tiger's head beneath her, silently expressing her gratitude:
Brother Tiger, thank you!
The tiger was clearly pleased to hear this, and stretched its neck so that Lin Yuxin could touch it.
After resting for a while, Lin Yuxin prepared to go back, as it wasn't easy to rest in the mountains.
Lin Yuxin threw Li Xiaochen onto the tiger's back and made it carry him. At first, the tiger was unwilling, but Lin Yuxin persuaded it to agree.
Then, with Xueying carrying the Qiling King, the group returned to the Quyan County government office. However, instead of taking the secret passage, they followed the mountain path led by the tiger.
Once you descend the mountain, you'll see the north gate of Quyan County.
Because the county was practically deserted, Lin Yuxin didn't let the tiger leave and brought it inside directly.
The group headed straight for the county government office, as Wang Yu and his men were currently guarding the office.
Upon entering the county government office, Xueying and Wang Yu placed Li Xiaochen on an empty bed in a guest room. Li Xiaochen's injuries were too severe, and he needed to rest for a few days before he could move around.
Therefore, Lin Yuxin has decided not to leave for the time being.
"Xueying, go to the city gate and take those children to Jibei City. Have Zhao Er settle them in first. We'll talk about the rest when I get back."
After Lin Yuxin settled down, she instructed Xueying to send the children waiting outside the city back and settle them in properly.
"yes!"
Xueying clasped her hands in a fist salute and replied, then turned and left.
Wang Yu threw the Qiling King into prison and ignored him, not even allowing anyone to treat him.
The master hasn't woken up yet, who has time to care about him? It would be merciful of him not to give him another blow.
Then he had someone go to the kitchen to cook some porridge so that his master could have something to eat when he woke up.
After everyone left, Lin Yuxin sat by Li Xiaochen's bedside, looking at his pale face, speechless for a long time.
In the end, all I could do was sigh with heartache.
[Li Xiaochen, you'd better wake up soon, or I don't know what I might do!]
Lin Yuxin reached out and touched Li Xiaochen's face. She realized that after she and Li Xiaochen confessed their feelings, they had been busy and hadn't had a proper time together.
She said she would make sure Li Xiaochen recovered and wouldn't let him be a fragile character anymore, but he still got injured.
Lin Yuxin felt somewhat guilty. If she had noticed something was wrong sooner and rushed over with her people sooner, Li Xiaochen might not have been so badly injured.
Li Xiaochen was the only person she ever truly loved in both her lives, but she failed to protect him.
Lin Yuxin pursed her lips, her eyes moist.
Suddenly, Lin Yuxin felt a warm sensation on her face. She quickly came to her senses and looked over to see that Li Xiaochen had woken up and was reaching out to stroke her face.
"Why... are you crying?"
Li Xiaochen spoke weakly.
"I didn't!"
Lin Yuxin turned her head away, refusing to admit it!
【You're the one who cried! Humph! Next time you get hurt, see if I'll still care about you!】
Lin Yuxin only dared to say harsh words in her heart. She knew that if Li Xiaochen was still injured, she would be more heartbroken than anyone else. How could she not save him?
"Fine, if you say it's not there, then it's not. I must be seeing things!"
Li Xiaochen smiled and said with a slight upturn of his lips.
"You're still laughing? Do you know you almost died this time? How dare you take on the entire Northern Frontier army by yourself? Where are your men? Don't you know to come back and get reinforcements?!"
Lin Yuxin got angry when she saw him smile, her face turned cold, and she immediately began to question him.
"Alright, alright, I won't laugh. Don't be angry. I know I've worried you this time, but I had no choice. I found out that Quyan County is related to the Qiling King of the Northern Frontier. I guess there are already people from the Northern Frontier here, but I don't know how many."
"I sent a letter to the Emperor before entering that secret room, thinking that if he saw it, he would be prepared, so I led my men to chase after him directly. Who knew it was an ambush!"
