Chapter 565 Extra - One should cherish one's own wife.
Chen Shi wanted to stand up and join him, but she had no strength in her legs, so she could only nod: "Can you stay within my sight? I'm scared."
Ye Zhiyuan nodded: "I'll go over there."
Chen Shi smiled and watched Ye Zhiyuan walk towards the front of the hillside, where several guards he had brought were standing. Although they were in a sorry state, they remained on guard at all times.
Several people stood on the hillside and observed the situation. They concluded that it was relatively safe to rest there for the time being.
So Ye Zhiyuan divided the guards into groups, with the guards remaining on guard in various locations, while the others went to sit on the hillside to rest for a while.
Even though it's still raining heavily, being able to sit and rest now is a huge blessing compared to the exhaustion I felt earlier.
Everyone leaned or sat, taking their time to rest.
Ye Zhiyuan noticed Chen Shi's fatigue, but he felt awkward sitting next to her in front of everyone.
Chen Shi grabbed his hand and pulled him down, saying, "What are you afraid of... I've already told them I'm a princess, and they know you're the prince consort. We're husband and wife, so what gossip could we possibly cause by sitting together?"
A group of onlookers laughed and said, "Young Master Ye, please sit down. If you don't cherish your own wife, who will?"
These words struck a chord with Ye Zhiyuan, so he obediently sat down next to Chen Shi, hesitated for a moment, then pulled her into his arms and used his arm to shield her from the oncoming rain.
Chen Shi smiled and indeed closed her eyes for a while.
She dozed off for a long time, and when she opened her eyes, there was already light in the sky. The rain had mostly subsided and was now just a light drizzle, so at least it wouldn't sting her eyes when it hit her face.
Except for the body that Ye Zhiyuan was holding in his arms, the rest of her body was basically wet and cool. A gust of cool wind blew by, and Chen Shi couldn't help but sneeze.
This sound made Ye Zhiyuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, open them. He looked at Chen Shi, who was winking and smiling at him, and it took him a moment to realize the situation.
Unlike before when it was dark, he could now clearly see Chen Shi's beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and his heart stirred slightly.
His face flushed slightly, and he coughed lightly: "Is it a bit cold? I'll go check the way down the mountain right away, and we'll get down as soon as possible."
After speaking, he sat up abruptly, paused for a moment, and then quickly walked towards the guards under martial law.
Chen Shi smiled and stretched her head before standing up.
After sitting for a long time, her whole body felt numb. She shook her limbs to loosen up her muscles and then walked towards Ye Zhiyuan.
She couldn't see clearly at night, and it wasn't until dawn that she realized how dangerous the night had been. Looking down from the hillside, the path they had climbed up was covered in sand and gravel.
It is clear that if we had been even a step slower last night, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Thinking this, she felt that Ye Zhiyuan's back was even taller and more imposing.
Tsk.
He's a really reliable man.
She smiled and casually looked up, only to see the branches of a large tree on the high ground beside her swaying precariously under the weight of its branches.
Judging from the angle and the momentum, the broken branch was bound to hit Ye Zhiyuan.
In a moment of panic, she shouted "Brother Ye, get out of the way!" as she rushed toward the man.
Ye Zhiyuan looked up and saw the falling branch, but human reaction always takes time, while falling objects happen at lightning speed.
So by the time he realized he needed to run, it seemed a little too late.
In the blink of an eye, just as he was about to be crushed by the thick tree trunk, he was suddenly pushed away.
In the blink of an eye, he was only scratched on the arm by a branch, but he heard the exclamations of the people next to him.
He hurriedly looked down and saw Chen Shi being pinned under a tree branch, with a trace of blood on the corner of her lips.
Ye Zhiyuan panicked instantly, his heart felt like it was being gripped by something, and he felt completely unwell.
"Help!" he shouted.
The crowd hurriedly moved the tree trunk that was pressing down on Chen Shi. Ye Zhiyuan knelt down and pulled Chen Shi up, and all he saw was her smiling face.
"Brother Ye... I'm glad you're alright."
As she spoke, blood trickled from the corner of her lips again. Ye Zhiyuan's eyes welled up with tears, and he couldn't hold them back: "Are you crazy? Why did you rush over here!"
Chen Shi was in pain all over, feeling like her body was falling apart, but she didn't regret it at all: "I just... like you."
Hearing her intermittent, weak voice, Ye Zhiyuan felt a tightness in his chest: "Don't talk anymore. I'll take you down the mountain now. You'll be fine."
He struggled to get up, and Chen Shi frowned, saying, "It hurts..."
Ye Zhiyuan pulled his hand out from behind her back and then realized that his hand was covered in blood.
A pang of sadness shot through him, but he suppressed the ache in his chest and said, "Let me bandage your wound first."
Some ordinary people stepped forward, took off their outer garments, and surrounded Chen Shi and Ye Zhiyuan at the innermost part, standing quietly facing outwards.
The matter was of great importance, so Ye Zhiyuan did not hesitate at all. He directly unbuckled Chen Shi's belt, made her lie face down on a pile of clothes, and gently lifted the clothes off her back.
When Ye Zhiyuan saw that shocking wound, he felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart.
Fortunately, he had some wound medicine with him. After cleaning the wound and applying the medicine, he tore a clean strip of cloth from his undergarment and finished bandaging it.
Chen Shi gritted her teeth and persevered from beginning to end without uttering a sound.
This made Ye Zhiyuan feel even more distressed.
Carefully putting Chen Shi's clothes back on, Ye Zhiyuan's voice trembled slightly: "Shi, you'll be alright. I'll take you down the mountain now."
Sensing the unusual tone in his voice, Chen Shi looked up at him. A drop of water rolled down his face and landed on Chen Shi's face with a thud.
Scalding hot.
Chen Shi was stunned for a moment.
Ye Zhiyuan cried.
This thought softened Chen Shi's heart. She forced a smile and joked, "Brother Ye, you've seen my back, I'm sticking with you for life."
Ye Zhiyuan looked at her with a firm gaze: "I was always going to marry you."
Chen Shi was stunned for a moment; this was the first time he had said he wanted to marry her in front of her.
Chen Shi suddenly felt it was all worth it.
Whether it was hiding in the carriage and following him without hesitation, or firmly believing in him, it was all worth it.
"You have to keep your word," Chen Shi said.
Ye Zhiyuan had already picked her up, and said each word firmly, "Ashi, I, Ye Zhiyuan, will only marry you in this life, and we will stay together until we grow old!"
Chen Shi smiled.
She suddenly felt incredibly useless.
Because of that one sentence from him, she felt happier than she had in the previous ten years.
oops.
She thought to herself that if her father and mother knew what she was thinking, they would be very sad.
But so what?
She's just happy.
Chen Shi smiled and said, "Yes, I've got it."
Having said a lot, Chen Shi felt a bit tired and closed her eyes.
While observing the road conditions and searching for a way down the mountain, Ye Zhiyuan frowned and called out to her, "Don't sleep! Watch me!"
