It was only until night that Yin Fufeng finally picked a few guards with agility to go look for Hu Xiao together with the water bandits.
"Everyone be careful, don’t let them find out." When they were about to reach the Water Bandit’s nest, Yin Fufeng said softly.
He looked at the guards lined up in front of him with a serious expression.
Everyone split up and walked around the boat for a long time. In the end, they saw Hu Xiao who was tied up on a boat, and Yin Fufeng was overjoyed. He squinted his eyes, wanting to take a good look.
"Everyone be careful, I’ve already seen the Queen." Yin Fufeng pointed to the direction of Hu Xiao. The lights were dim, and no one could see the real face of the person being tied up.
After saying this, Yin Fufeng hesitated in his heart. He rubbed his chin and said, "You guys take a look as well, whether that is the empress or not."
He felt that something was strange, why was Hu Xiao not moving at all? It was as if she was dead, if Hu Xiao was already dead, those water bandits would have thrown her into the ocean, they wouldn’t have spent so much effort to tie him up.
"Has the Empress fallen asleep?" One of them asked carefully. Obviously, he had also noticed Hu Xiao’s abnormality.
"That’s not right. Have you all seen the blood on the Empress’s face and clothes?" The Empress seems to have fainted. " In the candlelight, he seemed to see a smear of blood on the front of the empress’s gown.
After hearing these words, Yin Fufeng did not dare to be careless. He took a few steps forward, and finally saw clearly Hu Xiao’s current situation.
"Not good, the Empress fainted. No wonder she didn’t move at all." Yin Fufeng said in shock. He squinted his eyes and his first thought was to save her.
However, when he thought about it, he felt that this wasn’t appropriate. If he went up to save someone, he would definitely alert the water bandits. When that happened, it would only result in a mutual destruction.
"Prime Minister Yin, what do we do now?" The guards behind him waited for Yin Fufeng for a long time, but could not hear his orders. They could not help but become anxious.
If he wanted to go up and save her, then he had to hurry up.
Yin Fufeng raised his hand, signalling them to shut up. At this time, an idea slowly formed in his mind.
"Go back and report this. I’ll stay here and prepare to save Empress at any time." Yin Fufeng said cautiously. Right now, since Hu Xiao was heavily injured, taking her away was not easy, so he wanted to observe her for a few more days. After Hu Xiao s injuries recovered, he would bring her away.
"Prime Minister Yin, you need to be careful." As soon as he finished, the crowd slowly dispersed.
Yin Fufeng disguised himself as a sailor and secretly boarded the ship. With this, he had the chance to come into contact with Hu Xiao.
Every day, he would deliver food to Hu Xiao. From time to time, he would apply medicine on her and carefully serve her.
"Cousin, please hurry and get well. It’s been a few days, aiya!" Yin Fufeng whispered as he applied the medicine for Hu Xiao.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Yin Fufeng hurriedly slipped out.
"Is she awake?" the woman asked coldly. She opened the curtain and came in while talking.
Her voice was crisp and clear, waking the unconscious Hu Xiao, who moved her eyelids slightly, her head was in a daze.
Soon enough, she realized that she had been kidnapped. The girl’s clear voice was right in front of her eyes. She frowned slightly as she thought, This voice is very familiar, as if I’ve heard it somewhere before.
"Who gave her the medicine? It’s just a waste to use it on someone like her." The lady laughed coldly, she circled around Hu Xiao, the viciousness on her face was obvious.
This kind of woman shouldn’t be given medicine, it would be best if she died.
Whose voice was this? Why did it sound so familiar? This thought once again went through Hu Xiao’s mind. Now, she was absolutely sure that she knew the girl in front of her.
"She’s just like a dead pig. Heh, it would be great if someone like him died early." The voice came out again, the grievances were heavy, Hu Xiao was secretly shocked in her heart.
She remembered, this woman was the Third Princess of West Frontier, no wonder this voice was so familiar, it was her.
Hu Xiao understood what she meant, and she sneered in her heart as she thought to herself: Good, Princess of the West Frontier, how dare you kidnap me on my territory, let’s see how I’ll take care of you.
Only, Hu Xiao had not recovered yet, so she naturally could not act rashly. She let out a light breath, and tried her best to adjust her own aura.
"Listen, there’s no need to save her. Just watch out for her." The Princess of the West Frontier said indifferently, for a woman like Hu Xiao, saving her would be useless.
After saying that, Princess of the West Frontier turned and left, leaving Hu Xiao lying on the ground.
If not for the big picture and Hu Xiao’s violent temper, she would have already jumped up and beat Princess of the West Frontier down to the ground.
After Princess of the West Frontier left, Hu Xiao started to think about how she should leave this place. On the enemy ship, she did not know if Yin Fufeng and the rest knew of his whereabouts.
Hu Xiao was in a bit of a predicament. If she barged out alone, she would definitely die, and waiting for help wouldn’t be too realistic. It had been so long, but she hadn’t seen anyone she was familiar with.
Time passed second by second, and at night, Hu Xiao still could not think of a solution. She narrowed her eyes and patiently looked at her surroundings, the moonlight shining in through the gaps between the windows, bathing her in the moonlight.
Someone was coming!
Realizing that, Hu Xiao immediately held her breath, she quickly closed her eyes, the other party’s Qi gradually approached, Hu Xiao acted as though she was fine and continued to lie down.
The person who came was Yin Fufeng, he had hidden medicine in his sleeves, and was here to change Hu Xiao’s medicine. He squatted down and lightly touched the wound on Hu Xiao’s forehead, as if wanting to see if her wound was better.
What was wrong with this person? Why was she so gentle? Hu Xiao frowned, thinking, was he here to poison?
Just now, Princess of the West Frontier had already said that there was no need to change the medicine for him. That was why she said that this person wasn’t here to change the medicine, but was instead here to frame him.
Thinking about it, Hu Xiao suddenly became alert, and thought, the first thing she did was to not get tricked by them. No matter what, she had a person on her hands, so it would be more convenient when she goes out.
Just as Yin Fufeng wanted to change the medicine for Hu Xiao, he was subdued by Hu Xiao, who was still holding the medicine in her hand. In that moment, he did not know what had happened, and was a little confused.
"If you know what’s good for you, then don’t make a sound." Hu Xiao’s hand tightly grabbed onto Yin Fufeng’s arm, but she did not see Yin Fufeng’s face, so she did not know who he was.
Hearing that, Yin Fufeng regained his senses, he rolled his eyes, and thought to himself, I came over to change your medicine out of good intentions, but you managed to suppress me, I really can’t stand you.
"Cousin, it’s me."
