Inside the carriage, the curtains were tied up, and bright sunlight shone through, spreading warmth.
Xiao Yunchen took out a jade-white porcelain bottle from a bag beside him. With half of his face swollen, he said in a gentle voice, "Does your hand hurt? Let me help you apply the medicine."
Li Sisi had a cold face as she watched him carefully apply the medicine on her.
The cool jade ointment was slowly applied to the palm of his hand through his cold fingers, and the soft and smooth ointment quickly relieved the burning pain in the palm of his hand.
But it couldn't relieve the anger in her heart at all.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do to let you go?"
Xiao Yunchen listened to her cold tone, and the sourness and discomfort in his heart came over him like an overwhelmed sensation, and his eyes became hot and sore in an instant.
He suppressed his bitter and unwilling emotions and murmured softly, "Why did my sister have to leave me? I didn't want things to turn out like this."
"I gave you a chance. If you stayed in the Northwest forever, I would choose you, but you couldn't do it." Li Sisi said coldly, but her eyes were always on the red and swollen half of his face.
It seems to be more swollen than before.
Xiao Yunchen continued to apply the medicine with his head down. He didn't respond to her words, but suddenly whispered, "Yun Qiuwu was the Crown Prince's consort. Even the Emperor knew about her funeral and sent a letter of condolence. If the Emperor discovered that you faked my death, you would be guilty of deceiving the Emperor."
After he finished applying the medicine, he finally raised his head and looked at Li Sisi gently.
He continued in a low voice, "Not to mention the princes and princesses who came in person to pay their respects. Furthermore, Wei Jiangyi's death is also related to you, right? It was I who suppressed this disaster in the capital. If Sisi comes back with me, I will take the blame if your crimes are exposed in the future."
"As long as I don't go back to Beijing with you, these things will not be exposed! Xiao Yunchen, do you think I'm a fool?" Li Sisi said angrily in a loud voice.
"The truth will come to light sooner or later. Ever since you provoked Wei Jiangyi, everything has been destined to be complicated." Xiao Yunchen was digging the ointment from the jade bottle and applying it on his swollen face while continuing to speak.
"The northwest has become a soft target for the various factions within the court. They've already deployed spies to spy on us in unknown corners. And with Big Brother staying at the Li residence so ostentatiously, it's only a matter of time before your fake death is discovered."
"You can't hide this for long."
Li Sisi looked at his face which was covered with white jade plaster on half, and she couldn't guess whether what he said was true or just to scare her.
Li Sisi thought that he and Li Nian shared the same system, and hurriedly asked, "How is Nian Nian now? Does she know that I was kidnapped by Xiao Yunchen?"
[She knows, and has already brought her child to pursue you]
Li Sisi was shocked when the system said this. "She's chasing me? And she's bringing Jinhe with her? This journey is so dangerous! And we're running all the way here. Jinhe's so young, how can she handle it? Tell her to stop chasing me. I'll find a way to escape."
[I can't persuade her. She doesn't even want a man anymore. Knowing Xiao Yunyu is chasing her, she runs faster than a rabbit. She has already passed two cities.] The more the system spoke, the more disappointed it sounded.
Li Sisi asked, "Which city is she in? Let her rest for a while. I'll find a way to escape tonight and then go find her."
The system was busy for a while, then replied, "Ping An City, I told her, she said she's waiting for you."
Li Sisi thanked him excitedly: [Okay! Tongzi, it’s great to have you. I love you so much!]
[No! I can't handle it.] The system said unhappily, [If you really want to thank me, just accept the mission sooner. As long as I have enough energy, the greater my ability, the more I can help you.]
The villain in Li Sisi's heart nodded solemnly and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it!"
System: I’m not at all relieved.
The carriage was silent for a long time because of Li Sisi's silence.
Li Sisi didn't expect Xiao Yunchen to let her go at this moment.
Aunt Pei also said that Pei Yanli was a stubborn donkey. If she were to say so, Xiao Yunchen was no less stubborn.
"Sister, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Xiao Yunchen's voice broke the silent atmosphere in the carriage.
When he mentioned it, Li Sisi really felt very hungry.
Li Sisi glanced at him lazily and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to eat?"
"I'll have someone go hunting. You can roast or boil it. It's all fine." Xiao Yunchen said as he took out a package from a drawer beside him. He said softly, "I prepared some cakes before we set off. Sister, have some to fill your stomach first."
Li Sisi took the cake from his hand without hesitation and said casually, "Let's eat roasted food. I want to eat a whole roasted chicken and make some soup."
Seeing that she was still willing to eat and drink, and even ordered some food, Xiao Yunchen's lips curled up happily and he replied, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
As he said this, he lifted the curtain of the car, called the leader of the officers and soldiers, and repeated Li Sisi's request.
The leader of the officers and soldiers respectfully replied, "Yes!"
Only then did Xiao Yunchen lower the curtain and sit back down again.
As soon as Li Sisi finished eating a pastry, Xiao Yunchen immediately handed her some water.
Li Sisi took the water bag and drank it without even looking at him.
After drinking the water, he handed it back to Xiao Yunchen.
Xiao Yunchen immediately reached out to take it, his eyes fixed on her, watching her eat eagerly.
Li Sisi frowned: "You want to eat too?"
Xiao Yunchen shook his head, grinned happily and said, "Sister, are you willing to go back to Beijing with me?"
As he spoke, his face seemed to be swollen from being slapped. He let out a "hiss" in pain and covered his face with his hands.
His clear eyes stared at Li Sisi with expectation.
Li Sisi looked at his gentle and well-behaved appearance, as if it was not him who had just threatened her.
You bastard!
She rolled her eyes at him and said in a cold voice, "If I don't want to, will you let me go? Why are you pretending to be a little puppy?"
Li Sisi bit the cake in her hand angrily and chewed! Chew! Chew!
"Young Master!" A loud shout sounded like the voice of a willow.
Sure enough, Ru Liu's sweaty face appeared in front of the carriage window.
"How did he choose?" Xiao Yunchen asked gently.
Ru Liu slowed down her rapid breathing and replied respectfully, "Master Pei chose to go to Xidi City."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunchen felt a hint of surprise. He didn't expect that he would really give up.
He had prepared all the follow-up measures, but now they were no longer needed. He was a man of understanding.
He turned his gaze back to Li Sisi's face and found that she was frowning and looking at him with a questioning look on her face.
Xiao Yunchen pursed his lips, his voice soft and gentle as he explained carefully: "I told Pei Yanli about your departure from Dong'an City and gave him two choices: a promotion and power or come to pursue you. Choose one."
"He chose the first one." After saying that, he carefully studied Li Sisi's expression.
Seeing that her expression remained unchanged, he added, "Sister, he didn't choose you."
