Pei Xuan and the others knew that Qi Guze cared most about Xu Yuehuai. After learning that something might happen to her, they quickly sent a team to find Xu Yuehuai.
Qi Guze was indeed a little worried. "I want to go and find A-Yue myself!"
Pei Xuan and the others couldn't dissuade them, so they could only follow Qi Guze and hurry forward to find Xu Yuehuai and the others.
A short while later, they found the people ahead.
"Ah Yue, are you hurt?"
Qi Guze immediately went to Xu Yuehuai's side and asked her questions.
Xu Yuehuai was sitting alone by the tree, with others standing around her, as if protecting her.
When Xu Yuehuai saw that it was Qi Guze, she quickly said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I'm fine. But you were just injured, did you get it bandaged?"
Qi Guze said, "You don't need to worry about me. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Xu Yuehuai reached out and grasped Qi Guze's hand, quickly checking his wounds.
You can see that Qi Guze's back injury has not been bandaged yet, only some medicine has been applied.
Xu Yuehuai hurriedly said, "Your wound is so serious, why did you rush over to find me?"
"With your men protecting me, that's enough. You can come over here slowly by yourself!"
"The horse jolted you, and your wounds reopened!"
"I'll bandage your wound now!"
As Xu Yuehuai spoke, she asked Pei Xuan and the others to bring out the medicine for treating injuries.
Next, Xu Yuehuai treated Qi Guze's wound, then applied medicine and bandaged it.
"Your wound is quite serious. It might hurt a little when I apply the medicine later, so please bear with it."
Xu Yuehuai looked up at Qi Guze, her eyes filled with heartache and a hint of tenderness.
Qi Guze smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Next, Xu Yuehuai applied medicine to Qi Guze's wound.
Qi Guze's forehead veins bulged, but he didn't utter a sound.
The wound had turned somewhat black, but after applying the medicine, the bleeding stopped immediately.
"I've bandaged your wound. Does it hurt?"
Xu Yuehuai asked Qi Guze.
Qi Guze slowly shook his head and said to Xu Yuehuai, "It doesn't hurt, I'm fine, as long as you're not injured."
"If you get hurt, my heart will ache greatly."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai blushed instantly.
"Your Highness, there are so many people here, what kind of talk is that?"
"With you protecting me, how could you possibly give me a chance to get hurt?"
"The people who were chasing us have been dealt with, so let's rest here for a while."
"This is a great place I found; we can rest and recuperate here for a while."
Just as the horse was about to stop, Xu Yuehuai found a spot nearby to wait for Qi Guze to arrive.
But unexpectedly, right after they stopped, Qi Guze's men came over.
She had originally planned that if Qi Guze didn't come over for a long time, she would go back to rescue him.
Unexpectedly, Pei Xuan and Duan Nian came over and even saved Qi Guze.
"Okay, did everyone hear that? Your princess has told you to settle down here and rest for a while."
Qi Guze was speaking to his subordinates.
When Xu Yuehuai heard Qi Guze address her as his princess to his subordinates, her face immediately turned red.
"We're not even married yet, how can you let them call me Princess?"
"Just call me Miss Xu! Or you can call me Manager Xu!"
Qi Guze said, "Why are you so shy? We've already consummated our marriage. Even if we're not married now, we'll get married sooner or later! I'll be happy to hear them call you Princess Consort sooner!"
Qi Guze gave a look to his subordinates, and Pei Xuan and the others, whoever was in a hurry, nodded and said something.
"Yes, Your Highness! In all of our eyes, you have long been our Your Highness!"
"Wishing Your Highness and Your Highness a long and happy marriage!"
...
All of Qi Guze's subordinates around him offered their blessings to Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai.
After hearing what those people said, Xu Yuehuai saw that they were all very happy, so she didn't say anything more.
After they set up their camp in Anza, Xu Yuehuai helped Qi Guze into the tent to rest.
"Your Highness, your internal injuries are so severe, and there's no medicine for you right now. You should rest well."
Qi Guze said, "I want you to rest with me."
Xu Yuehuai patted Qi Guze's hand and said, "Stop fooling around. Your injuries are so serious right now, this is not the time to do anything else."
"I didn't want to do anything more, I just wanted to hold you. As long as I hold you in my arms, I feel very comfortable."
"Is that really true? You're not lying to me, are you, Your Highness!"
Xu Yuehuai did not believe anything Qi Guze said.
Qi Guze said, "What's so unbelievable about that? How could I possibly lie to you?"
Seeing Qi Guze's serious expression, Xu Yuehuai decided to stay.
After taking off her outer garment, she got into bed and lay down next to Qi Guze.
"Who exactly is behind this attack on us, Your Highness? Have you seen it?"
Xu Yuehuai still doesn't know who the people who were chasing them just now were.
Qi Guze said, "That person is Ah Qi."
"Ah Qi? How could it be him? We didn't even bother to deal with him, and now he's coming after us!"
"We helped him so much before, how could he repay kindness with enmity?"
"He actually tried to kill you! That's absolutely outrageous!"
Xu Yuehuai considered many people, but she never expected that person would be A Qi.
When they first met Ah Qi, he was a pitiful child.
Now, just a few years later, Ah Qi has turned out like this.
Xu Yuehuai simply couldn't believe it. How could a perfectly normal person suddenly change after seeing the pinnacle of power?
They had helped Ah Qi so much before, and thought that Ah Qi was really the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Little did they know that they had let a wolf into the house, allowing a descendant of the King of the Dark Moon Kingdom to enter the royal family.
Now it's all their fault, and they don't know how much they'll have to pay to change things back.
"It really is Ah Qi. He did all these things just to kill me and silence me. He already knows that I know his true identity. He didn't kill me this time, but I guess he'll try again later!"
As Qi Guze spoke, he pondered how to help them escape Ah Qi's pursuit.
Ah Qi didn't kill them this time, but he'll definitely make another move later.
A cunning person like Ah Qi will never give up just because of this one failure.
