Chen Yi stood there like a wooden chicken, unable to react for a moment.
Yuan Yi saw Chen Yi's reaction from the side and felt worried for him. How could he still be in a daze at this time?
Yuan Xichen didn't hear the answer he wanted and was also confused. He glanced at Chen Yi with a cold gaze, and Chen Yi seemed to sense something and trembled.
Then he reacted, put his head close to the ground, and said incoherently:
"Reporting to His Majesty Prince Chen, when I arrived, I saw Miss Yu holding a dagger in her hand, and the dagger was stuck right in your chest.
In a moment of panic, I accidentally knocked Miss Yu away. She crashed into a table and chair, and fell into a coma like you.
Chen Yi swallowed carefully, and didn't dare to utter a word when he said this.
When Yuan Xichen heard this, the veins on his forehead bulged.
He suddenly covered his chest, feeling such pain in his heart, as if someone was grabbing it.
His face suddenly turned pale, completely bloodless.
"Your Highness, are you okay? Don't worry! I've checked Miss Yu's condition. She'll wake up after taking the medicine. There's no danger to her life."
When Yuan Yi saw Yuan Xichen's reaction, he was so scared that his pupils were about to burst, fearing that something might happen to Yuan Xichen because of this.
He quickly took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and quickly poured out a dark brown pill from it.
Put the pill directly into Yuan Xichen's mouth. The pill melted in his mouth and was quickly absorbed by Yuan Xichen.
Gradually, Yuan Xichen's expression relaxed a lot, and he no longer looked as scary as before.
After he calmed down, he stared at Chen Yi with sharp eyes. He felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he couldn't vent it, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Go and receive your thirty lashes of punishment. When you get there, go and train in the mountains for a month."
Yuan Xichen said this after calming down, without looking at Chen Yi again. He felt that if Chen Yi hadn't acted on his own, Miss Yu wouldn't have suffered so much.
He absolutely would not believe that Yu Qingqing would really kill him. There must be some mistake that he didn't know about.
"Yes, I obey your command! Chen Yi will accept the punishment!" Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yuan Xichen's arrangement.
The uneasiness and worries in my heart for many days were finally relieved at this moment.
Although I will be training in Dongyu for a month and will encounter all kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards.
But compared to the pressure in his heart, he felt that this would not be the most difficult one.
When Yuan Yi heard Yuan Xichen's arrangement, the words of advice came to his lips, but he didn't say them in the end.
In this matter, Chen Yi did not understand the truth of the matter and took the initiative to hurt others. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Chen Yiqi went to receive the punishment himself, and several people followed him out, ready to carry out the matter.
"How is she now? Has she recovered?" Yuan Xichen's expression relaxed after seeing Chen Yi leave.
His face was no longer as tense as before, and he asked Yuan Yi in a slightly softer tone about Yu Qingqing's current situation.
Yuan Yi was slightly surprised when he heard his master's expression change in a second. This was the first time he met Yuan Xichen who spoke so gently.
However, he quickly realized what Yuan Xichen said, and immediately replied:
"Master, Miss Yu and the others are not with us, and Uncle Yu refused to continue the journey with us.
So we went our separate ways, but I arranged a carriage for them and left them a lot of food.
Master, don't worry. I have arranged for Liu Qi to bring people to follow and protect them secretly. There will be no problem. "
After Yuan Yi finished speaking, he secretly observed Yuan Xichen's expression. Sure enough, after hearing this, Yuan Xichen's face changed unpredictably.
There was worry, regret, and anger in his aura, and his whole aura suddenly became sharp, making people feel cold all over.
Yuan Xichen felt better when he heard someone was protecting Yu Qingqing and the others. After all, she was injured because of him, and he felt guilty.
He adjusted his posture and leaned against the other side of the cave wall. After feeling a little more comfortable, he gave the order:
"Contact Liu Qi and the others and ask them to ask Uncle Yu and his family if they are willing to continue following us.
Also, the assassination attempt I encountered this time had nothing to do with Miss Yu.
She saw that I was stabbed and was going to help me check the wound, so you misunderstood her and she suffered an unexpected disaster."
Yuan Xichen didn't think too much about it. He didn't want Yu Qingqing to bear the reputation of assassinating him.
There must be a misunderstanding, and he will find it out in time.
After hearing Yuan Xichen's words, Yuan Yi seemed to have suddenly realized something.
He knew there was a misunderstanding. Miss Yu and her family were honest and kind, and they didn't look like the kind of people who would kill anyone.
He immediately said respectfully, "Master, please rest assured! I will definitely ask Liu Qi to bring the person back, and then let Miss Yu and her family continue with us on the journey.
The most important thing for you now is to have a good rest. But we won’t waste too much time. You still need to ask a doctor to remove the poison from your body as soon as possible.
In order to avoid delaying too long and causing some unexpected changes.
I've already checked the person who tried to assassinate you. It's someone called "Lady Li," but our people have temporarily lost track of her."
Yuan Yi's voice grew softer as he spoke, fearing he might say something wrong and upset his master.
Yuan Xichen was feeling a little uncomfortable due to being very hungry at this time, so he stopped asking questions after hearing half of it.
He urgently needed to sacrifice his internal organs, but it was not convenient for him to move, so he could only wait for others to bring them to him.
In fact, not long after Yuan Xichen woke up, Yuan Er arranged for someone to cook porridge, and it was almost done now.
Yuan Yi didn't hear Yuan Xichen talking, but he knew he was hungry just by looking at him.
So he held the porridge in his hands, lowered his head slightly, and carefully handed the porridge to Yuan Xichen, saying in a calm tone:
"Master, it's been so long, I'm sure you're hungry. You should eat something first, and then have a good rest.
Since you've been lying down for a long time, it's not suitable for you to eat anything too hard now. This porridge is perfect for you."
Yuan Yi was holding a bowl of rice porridge served in plain white porcelain.
This is the best thing that can be done in this environment where people are not able to get enough food.
Yuan Xichen's handsome face suddenly turned red, feeling that his little embarrassment was undoubtedly exposed.
But he himself is not a bloodthirsty person, so naturally he would not make things difficult for others just because someone discovered his predicament.
The fragrance of the white rice porridge in front of him kept tempting his stomach.
