A dull pain in the back brought Ji Yun back to reality.
He forced his lip and whispered, "Listen to me now. Those who are chasing me are still looking for me. Find a place to hide right now..."
Although he didn't know how Ning Yu appeared here, he didn't want anything to happen to her.
Ning Yu pretended not to hear him, glanced at him, and said word by word, "Then you're really dead."
At the same time, he asked the system in his mind, "System, is there any killer nearby?"
The system is very diligent.
"The killer is still quite far away from you, but judging by the direction they are searching, they are very likely to find you. There is a cave not far ahead where you can hide..."
Ning Yu struggled to help Ji Yun up and let him lean on her. "Your Highness, can you still walk now?"
"······Can."
Ji Yun barely held on to his body, his breathing gradually became weaker, and his eyelids drooped.
But consciousness still exists.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he vaguely smelled a faint fragrance, which seemed to come from deep within Ning Yu's skin, rich and fragrant.
The pain in his back was slightly relieved.
After walking for a while, they noticed that there was a place nearby where the way was blocked by tangled vines and branches.
The system reminded, "Host, this is it."
Ning Yu stepped forward and used a branch to push aside the vines and branches, revealing a cave. Although it was not very big, it was big enough for two people to hide.
Ning Yu helped the person in and gathered the vines and branches together to block it.
Ji Yun reluctantly took a quick look around. It was narrow and dark, making it difficult to see clearly. There were also vines and branches blocking the view, so it would be difficult to find those people.
As long as we can hold on for one night, Shi Ying and Shi Qi should be here too.
Ning Yu crushed the hemostatic herbs he picked on the road with a stone.
When Ning Yu took off Ji Yun's clothes, he felt that the back of the clothes had already become wet.
It was soaked with blood.
In the moonlight, the wound on the back looked hideous, with the flesh almost exposed and the eerie white bones faintly visible.
Ning Yu frowned. If she hadn't come, Ji Yun would have died of excessive blood loss before anyone showed up.
Ning Yu didn't dare to delay any longer and applied the herbs on the wound.
After a while, Ning Yu took off her riding clothes, tore off the hem of her undergarment into long strips, and put her arms around his chest, wrapping the white cloth tightly around it several times.
After doing all this, Ning Yu was already sweating profusely.
Ji Yun was now somewhat more conscious. He slowly opened his eyelids, his gaze unconsciously glued to the soft, slender waist exposed in the moonlight.
When he saw the undergarment with a large piece of cloth missing and noticed the white cloth on the chest, he finally understood.
Ji Yun looked away and reminded in a hoarse voice, "...put on your clothes first, or you'll catch a cold."
Ning Yu's ears turned slightly red, she thought Ji Yun had fainted.
That's why I didn't care.
Ning Yu turned around and faced Ji Yun with her snow-white naked back, her slender waist swaying gracefully.
Ji Yun's breathing stagnated and he didn't dare to look anymore.
Ning Yu thought Ji Yun had turned around and didn't pay attention. He bent down slightly to pick up his clothes and it took him a long time to put on his riding clothes.
At this moment, the system's mechanical voice said in Ning Yu's mind, "Host, they are about to catch up."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound outside the cave.
Ji Yun barely managed to stand up, grabbed Ning Yu's hand and hid in the corner of the cave, "There's movement outside."
Soon, the sounds of footsteps and voices were heard outside.
“...there’s no one here.”
"Search more carefully! The prince was so badly injured that he couldn't have run so far. He must be nearby!"
"yes!"
The two were almost face to face, and it could be said that Ning Yu was completely stuck to Ji Yun.
Ning Yu noticed the sharp stone behind Ji Yun, and thought that the space in the corner was narrow, and it might press on his wound.
Lowering her voice, she asked worriedly, "Your Highness, are you okay now?"
Ji Yun's breathing was slightly disordered, and he tried his best to ignore the fullness in front of his chest, "...It's okay."
I don’t know how much time passed, but the footsteps outside finally stopped.
Ning Yu learned through the system that the killer had left.
"Your Highness, there should be no one outside..."
Before she could finish her words, Ji Yun pressed his entire body towards her, almost pushing Ning Yu to the ground.
Ning Yu helped him up, and her hand accidentally touched the back of his head. The blood had dried, and it was obvious that his brain had suffered a strong impact.
Ning Yu didn't care about anything else.
I bandaged the back of Ji Yun's head first, then I noticed that his forehead was burning hot and his face was extremely pale.
Ji Yun clearly had a fever due to an infection in the wound on his back.
Ji Yun closed his eyes tightly, his eyelashes trembling, "Cold..."
Ning Yu frowned. She didn't have any pills on her. She gritted her teeth and took off her clothes. She held Ji Yun in her arms to keep him warm.
Before he knew it, Ji Yun slowly fell asleep.
The next day, camp.
"How dare you lie to me! Ning Yu wasn't in the tent last night!"
The round-faced palace maid kept kowtowing, "Miss, please forgive me. I saw Ning Yu drink the sour plum soup with my own eyes..."
Ye Jingyi slapped the round-faced maidservant hard in the face, "What a useless thing! You can't even handle such a small matter."
The round-faced maidservant trembled with fear, her voice shaking, "When I went to check this morning, Miss Ning was not in the tent."
