When they arrived at Huo Wuyou's tent, the guards saw that the visitor was Princess Anle and did not stop her.
Upon learning that Huo Wuyou had just woken up and was out of danger, Huo Zhiyu burst into tears. However, she saw Huo Wuyou lying on the bed with a pale face. Because of his injury, he was not wearing a shirt and his body was only covered with a quilt.
This weak appearance made Huo Zhiyu cry even more.
As soon as she entered the tent, Xue Zhiyi met his slightly smiling eyes, which instantly reminded her of Huo Wuyou who was seriously injured in Jiangzhou and almost left her, and her heart seemed to be pinched by something.
Seeing that he still had the heart to laugh, Huo Zhiyu felt even sadder. He sat by the bed and was comforted by Huo Wuyou for a long time. Xue Zhiyi just stood aside and watched him quietly without saying a word.
Huo Zhiyu wanted to stay and take care of Huo Wuyou, so Xue Zhiyi stayed with her until the second half of the night. The little girl was too sleepy and fell asleep on a low couch beside her.
Xue Zhiyi then sat down beside the bed and tried to lift his quilt without saying anything.
"Hey hey hey...molestation!"
Although he said this, Huo Wuyou's voice was very low, almost whispering, and with a hint of flirting in his voice.
Xue Zhiyi was too lazy to pay attention to him. Under her insistence, she saw the wound on his back. The wound had been wrapped with layers of gauze, but it was still obvious that the wound was not small and a lot of blood had been lost.
Huo Wuyou tutted his words: "You are going too far now. We haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already looking at my body."
Xue Zhiyi thought to himself, it’s not the first time I’ve seen it.
"Did you do this on purpose?" she asked Huo Wuyou straight to the point.
Huo Wuyou was lying on his stomach, his face pale but the tips of his ears red. He pulled the corner of the quilt to cover himself and said hesitantly, "I can't hide it from you."
He rested his head on his arm and tilted his head to look at Xue Zhiyi: "Come here."
Xue Zhiyi leaned closer and put his ear next to his lips.
"This arrow wound may seem serious, but the bow used by the shooter wasn't heavy, so it won't kill me. I just took the medicine prepared by Sui Yunlang in advance, which will make my pulse appear abnormally severe after the injury."
After hearing this, Xue Zhiyi's eyes widened.
She just thought Huo Wuyou had let herself be shot on purpose, but she didn't expect that the second wave of assassins was actually arranged by Huo Wuyou?!
"Are you trying to kill yourself?" She whispered, "If we're discovered..."
"The people I arranged shot the arrows and ran away, and they weren't caught." He laughed as if very proud, and continued to whisper: "Gu Shichong wanted to win over Shen Qingwei. Shen Qingwei panicked and came to me for advice. I saw that Shen Qingwei couldn't hide his thoughts, so I asked him to explain the matter to my uncle truthfully to avoid being dragged down by Gu Shichong. My uncle also wanted to verify whether Gu Shichong had other plans, so he went into the forest to take a look himself."
——In this way, the emperor will only suspect that everything today was arranged by Gu Shichong. Even if there is no evidence, the seeds of suspicion have already been planted.
Looking at Huo Wuyou in disbelief, Xue Zhiyi was stunned: "So, after all this detour, you're going to deal with Gu Shichong?"
Huo Wuyou's smile deepened: "Yes, but it's more than that."
Looking at Xue Zhiyi, Huo Wuyou said seriously: "Awan, I need power, real power. It's enough to keep a low profile for so long. I can't let you have to look at Gu Shichong's face anymore."
In order to hear each other's whispers clearly, they leaned very close to each other. Looking at his determined brows, the anger in Xue Zhiyi's heart turned into warmth.
She twisted Huo Wuyou's red ear and whispered, "No matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to discuss it with me."
Huo Wuyou laughed: "You don't allow anything? Are you so overbearing?"
They were very close to each other, their figures overlapping, and they looked a little blurry in the sleepy eyes of Huo Zhiyu who was not far away.
She closed her eyes wearily again: she actually dreamed of her sister Zhiyi and second brother kissing, which was so weird.
Suddenly, realizing something, she opened her eyes abruptly. It wasn't until she saw the two heads close together that she realized what she had seen.
She silently covered her face and turned her back to them. Huo Zhiyu was so excited that she no longer had any desire to sleep...
