Xie Zhun quickly caught her and massaged Ning Xi'er's nape with his thumb and forefinger.
Although he had held back some strength when he chopped her with his hand just now, he still felt pain.
Although Ning Xi'er was quick, Xie Zhun was nearby and had the intention to do it, so Ning Xi'er naturally couldn't defend herself.
Slowly laying her down, Xie Zhun personally unbuttoned Ning Xi'er's outer garment.
I never imagined being separated from the person in my arms, which is why I made that promise to the Shen family...
Although their current actions may not be entirely ethical, they are already bearing the burden of their married status...
The safety of Ning Xi'er is paramount; nothing else is of any concern to Xie Zhun.
Xie Zhun's gaze fell on his back, where he had been injured before, and his eyes widened.
The bleeding stopped, and Ning Xi'er stopped bandaging.
Even with a thick layer of ointment, the deep color of the wound still couldn't be concealed...
And the glaring talismanic patterns formed on the wound!
Xie Zhun clenched his fist.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the other arm was completely wrapped in gauze...
Xie Zhun naturally knew what the deep red marks on it were.
Slowly bending down, gently sniffing...
The smell of blood and ointment was exactly the same as what he had smelled before.
Xie Zhun's slender fingers hovered above the gauze, hesitant to move them any further...
I was worried that I might hurt Ning Xi'er.
Just how badly injured must he have been to return from the North? The bandages and the medicine in his storage space still couldn't stop the bleeding...
His gaze slowly moved upwards, and Xie Zhun gently pulled the person into his arms...
But he dared not use any more force, fearing he might squeeze Ning Xi'er's injured area...
Xie Zhun's body was trembling slightly.
As if she had been asleep for a long time, Ning Xi'er felt no pain in the back of her neck when she woke up. Instead, she felt that her body, which had been tense all along, was...
The exhaustion I had been forcing myself to endure has been largely relieved.
When Ning Xi'er got up, she didn't notice anything unusual...
But she hadn't forgotten what happened before she fainted; her lips drooped as she looked at Xie Zhun.
Xie Zhun's eyes were clear as water, filtering out all heartache and shame...
Just watch her calmly.
Ning Xi'er was the first to feel guilty.
Xuanfeng's voice came from outside the tent, "Your Highness, everyone has arrived..."
Ning Xi'er immediately checked her clothes and, finding nothing amiss, sat down properly to the side.
Xie Zhun didn't even look at him; instead, after she sat up straight, he stretched out an arm and lightly supported her back...
Give her some support.
The curtain was lifted, and Eunuch Xu, Zheng Chengguang, Zheng Ye, Wei Xunfang, Qin Yuan, Xuanfeng, and others entered in turn.
Everyone's eyes lit up the moment they saw Ning Xi'er.
Even the aloof Wei Xunfang raised his eyelids slightly when he saw Ning Xi'er.
Once everyone had arrived, Xie Zhun looked at Ning Xi'er and said, "Speak..."
How can your wounds be healed?
Zheng Ye immediately stood up, but was pulled back down to sit by Zheng Chengguang, who was standing next to him.
"Your Highness, how were you injured?"
What injury did you sustain?
Even so, Zheng Ye's worries were palpable.
Ning Xi'er was about to deny it when she met Xie Zhun's gaze...
He immediately understood; he already knew.
The reason you fainted was probably because you were checking your injuries.
The others in the tent craned their necks to look at Ning Xi'er.
The concern in his eyes was undisguised.
Before the casual words could even be uttered, Xie Zhun's words echoed in his ear:
"If your injuries aren't healed, this trip to the capital..."
I will not agree to you going.
His voice was clear and cold, decisive and firm.
Ning Xi'er sighed softly. Things had come to this point; there was no going back to hiding it...
Moreover, Xie Zhun was not someone who could be easily fooled.
On the one hand, I was touched by his concern and care; on the other hand, I felt troubled by the current situation.
The injuries on my body are more serious than last time...
But she can get through this; at least she can't let it delay the schedule.
Beijing is a must-visit!
Seeing that Ning Xi'er didn't speak, Xie Zhun looked at Xuan Feng, "There's still no news from the people sent to Jin?"
Xuanfeng was on high alert, rarely seeing his lord so nervous, and immediately clasped his hands in a fist and reported:
"Your Highness, not at the moment. But it should be soon."
Xie Zhun did not urge him further.
Xuanfeng is always meticulous in his work.
Since he said it would be soon, the news should arrive shortly, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Xie Zhunzhuan, like everyone else, looked at Ning Xier again.
Since things had come to this, Ning Xi'er downplayed the seriousness of the matter, saying, "This time, going to the Northern Border..."
"Due to the need for defense, I infiltrated the Jin army camp, but I was careless and was injured by the restrictions they had set up in advance..."
"A restriction?"
Those present looked at each other in bewilderment.
The power of the magic arts of the Jin state was no less than that of the firearms provided by Ning Xi'er.
People only heard about it but didn't take it to heart.
The fact that Ning Xi'er, who possesses powerful supernatural abilities, could harm her made everyone present extremely vigilant.
"May I ask, Your Highness, are the Jin army's magical techniques effective against everyone?"
It was Zheng Chengguang who spoke.
