Chen Xiao nodded slightly and said softly, "Miss Ning, it is really difficult to stay here for long. Moreover, Yu Yao was injured just now and needs to find a quiet place to recuperate."
After she finished speaking, her gaze, full of tenderness, quietly fell on Yin Yuyao, and the worry in her eyes was like a bottomless pool.
Upon hearing this, Ning Yuyuan's eyes flashed with anxiety. She said urgently, "Your Highness is injured? What should we do... Why don't you come to my home? My home is not far ahead, and the surrounding environment is quiet and pleasant, very peaceful."
Her voice trembled slightly, and her tense state seemed to indicate that Yin Yuyao's pain had deeply pierced her heart, even more so than Yin Yuyao herself.
Seeing that Ning Yuyuan still insisted on calling Yin Yuyao "Your Majesty", Chen Xiao only glanced at her silently and did not say a word.
Yin Yuyao was momentarily stunned, as if she had been pulled back to the past years of the palace by an invisible force, when everyone addressed her with such respect.
However, given the current critical situation, there is simply no time to reminisce about past glories.
Yin Yuyao felt as if the internal injuries within her body were a surging undercurrent, with waves of fine and sharp pains piercing through her internal organs like needles.
She knew in her heart that there was no time to lose; she had to find a place to rest immediately and soothe her nearly chaotic breathing.
Furthermore, she also needed to take this opportunity to explain to Chen Xiao in detail that she possessed internal energy.
After all, she had used her inner strength at that critical moment, which would undoubtedly have planted a seed of doubt in Chen Xiao's heart.
If this matter is not explained clearly, it may lead to endless misunderstandings and troubles in the future.
Yin Yuyao forced herself to endure the excruciating pain and said in a low voice, "Chen Xiao, let's go to Miss Ning's house first. After I rest for a while, there are some things I should tell you frankly."
Although Chen Xiao had many doubts, as if they were shrouded in mist, seeing Yin Yuyao's insistence, he had no choice but to bury his doubts deep in his heart for the time being. He helped her up and hurriedly followed Ning Yuyuan toward her home.
Ye Yu and Chao Yuan, who were standing nearby, witnessed their actions and could guess that His Majesty and Miss Yin were heading to the woman's residence. However, they hesitated slightly and did not immediately follow.
They pondered to themselves, finding it difficult to determine whether the woman would gladly accept them, given that they had already roughly guessed her identity.
Although it is unknown who Ning Ci and Ni Huashuo are, judging from the woman's familiarity with the temple, it is clear that she must have some secret entanglement with it.
Perhaps the strange and mysterious formations and mechanisms in the temple were all the result of this woman's ingenious planning.
Living in the martial arts world, they naturally dared not easily trust others.
Ning Yuyuan did not turn around to look, but as if they were telepathically connected, he said loudly, "There are plenty of guest rooms in the house. Why don't you two experts come together? As for your concerns, I will answer your questions one by one."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaofang remembered that Ye Yu and Chao Yuan were still on the side. He turned to them and said, "No need to worry, hurry up and follow. Miss Ning is... a kind-hearted person."
Fortunately, he changed his mind quickly, almost revealing the shocking secret that Ning Yuyuan was a grandson of the Rong Dynasty emperor.
If Ning Yu is willing to tell them such a confidential matter, it is best to wait for her to speak for herself.
Because Chen Xiao knew very little about Ye Yu and Chao Yuan's thoughts and past, he dared not speak rashly.
Seeing that His Majesty spoke in such a manner, and noticing Yin Yuyao's unbearable pain, Ye Yu and Chao Yuan gradually put aside their suspicions and stepped forward.
Chao Yuan lowered his voice and said to Ye Yu, "You must remember our mission. You must be fully focused and carefully protect His Majesty and Miss Yin's safety."
Ye Yu recalled that arduous task, his expression solemn, and nodded firmly.
The three people at the front did not hear their whispers. Ning Yuyuan simply turned her head slightly, her gaze sharp as lightning, and lightly swept over the two of them.
The two exchanged a glance and then fell silent.
Everyone entered Ning Yuyuan's home together, and Yin Yuyao was properly settled in a quiet side room.
Ning Yu was busy, like a light swallow flitting between the halls. Before long, she brought steaming hot water and medicine to heal her wounds.
Yin Yuyao took the pain-relieving herbs that Ning Yuyuan handed her, slowly let out a sigh of relief, and gradually regained her senses before turning her gaze to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao's face was solemn, as if shrouded in a layer of gloom. Finally, unable to suppress his confusion, he asked, "Yu Yao, you have never mentioned that you possess internal energy before. What is the secret behind this?"
Yin Yuyao sighed softly, her voice like a deep spring, and slowly said, "This matter is like a long scroll painting, and it is a long story. As you know, I was born into the Yin family, and my parents were both famous generals. Therefore, I was secretly taught some internal energy techniques from a young age, just so that I could protect myself in the treacherous palace intrigues of the future."
Seeing Ning Yuyuan's blank and confused expression, Yin Yuyao continued, "However, after many changes, I concealed this inner strength within myself, and I would never easily reveal it unless in dire straits."
Could this change refer to that mysterious and unpredictable immortal body?
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, as if lost in deep thought: "But your internal strength has been exposed in this situation today, which may attract some malicious eyes. Those forces that are secretly eyeing us may become restless because of this."
Although Chen Xiao's words sounded obscure and unclear, Yin Yuyao understood them perfectly.
She was referring to the mysterious primordial realm.
That fake S never disappeared; he must be watching this interface like a ghost in the shadows. Therefore, he is very likely fully aware of what just happened.
Yin Yuyao nodded slightly and replied, "I am well aware of the risks involved, but the situation was extremely precarious at the time. How could I bear to see you in such a dangerous situation without taking care of you?"
Ning Yu listened quietly from the side. Although she didn't quite understand the intricate connections involved, she could still keenly sense the seriousness of the matter.
She said softly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured and recuperate here. I will guard the gate well and never let any outsiders see in the slightest."
Yin Yuyao gazed at her with gratitude and said, "Miss Ning, I am very grateful for your help this time, but I am afraid that I may have implicated you."
Ning Yuyuan gently shook her head and said with a light smile, "Your Majesty, please don't say such things. You have done a great favor for my family, and what I have done is only what is right."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yuyao smiled bitterly and said slowly, "What great favor could there be? It was nothing more than mutual comfort and support between Ning Ci and me during our years in the palace. Besides, if we really want to talk about the depth of our gratitude, Ning Ci definitely owes me more."
