Chapter 62 Her actions were a temporary measure, but he reaped the benefits.
If Qin Ye really is in this cave, then this sound...
Who is the woman inside?
Unconsciously, Yun Si thought of Lin Shuyan.
Her legs, which were already so tired they were almost paralyzed, nearly gave way and she collapsed.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Qin Ye, but rather, what if Qin Ye was in an unconscious or even uncontrolled state and something happened between him and Lin Shuyan...?
Yun Si dared not think any further.
The possibility is extremely high.
For a moment, she didn't have the courage to enter the cave.
Maple leaves landed on her shoulders, eagerly pecking at her face with their tiny, pointed beaks.
Yun Si glanced at it, then seemed to suddenly come to her senses, startled by her own thoughts.
She actually tried to turn around and leave!
After going through so much trouble to find this place, all I heard was a sound, and I hadn't even seen anything yet, and I was already thinking of running away?
She must be exhausted and confused; her mind isn't working properly.
Yun Si took a deep breath and strode inside.
The cave was dimly lit, with only a few beams of light filtering through the cracks in the rocks, barely illuminating the scene before us.
As soon as Yun Si stepped inside, her pupils contracted sharply at the sight before her.
Qin Ye stood with his back to the cave entrance, his white undergarment soaked in blood and clinging messily to his body.
He was carrying a person with one hand.
The man was slender, his neck was tightly gripped in his palm, his feet were off the ground and dangling in the air, his face was bluish-purple, his eyes rolled back, and he was about to die.
"Qin Ye!"
Yun Si cried out in alarm and rushed forward without thinking.
Qin Ye shuddered, as if startled by the sound, and suddenly loosened his grip on her neck.
The woman felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She tumbled and fell to the ground, where she lay coughing and her chest heaving violently, unable to recover for a long time.
Yun Si's gaze immediately fell on Qin Ye.
He slowly turned around, his eyes bloodshot and terrifying, like blood-soaked glass, churning with pure violence and chaos.
His wounds were still bleeding, and the old and new scars overlapped, a shocking sight.
Yun Si reached out to touch him, but as soon as her fingertips touched his skin, she quickly pulled her hand back.
Why is it so hot?
His whole body was burning hot, as if he were about to burst into flames at any moment.
"Qin Ye, look at me..."
Yun Si's voice trembled as she tried to examine his condition more closely, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the woman's face on the ground.
It really is Lin Shuyan!
A cold killing intent flashed in Yun Si's eyes, and her gaze shot towards her like a sharp blade.
Lin Shuyan trembled at the murderous intent in her eyes and quickly waved her hands, "It wasn't me! It really wasn't me! I only came here because I was worried about him, I didn't know it would turn out like this..."
She wanted to explain, but Yun Si had already turned her head away, not intending to pay any attention to her at all.
Yun Si wouldn't believe a single word Lin Shuyan said.
However, I don't have time to deal with her right now.
Yun Si suppressed the murderous intent in her heart, moved closer to Qin Ye, and immediately a strange sweet fragrance, with a faint peach blossom scent, filled her nostrils.
Is that peach blossom scent again?
She felt Qin Ye's pulse and discovered that he had not only been drugged with aphrodisiacs, but also poisoned with a substance that could make people lose their minds.
Is it peach blossom miasma?
With so many wounds on his body, the poison would spread even faster through the bloodstream.
No wonder he was so hot; besides the aphrodisiac, the high fever was also caused by inflammation from the wound.
In this situation, he didn't do *that* to Lin Shuyan; instead, he almost strangled her to death…
Yun Si was extremely distressed.
She couldn't imagine how much pain Qin Ye was in right now.
It's probably a hundred times more painful than what she's been going through these past few days.
"Qin Ye, it's okay, you'll feel better soon."
Just as Yun Si was about to take out the antidote, Qin Ye suddenly reached out and pressed down on her shoulder, the force so great that it felt like his shoulder was about to be crushed.
"Qin Ye..."
His eyes were fierce and deep as he stared at Yun Si, like a wild beast eyeing its prey.
Although he was out of his mind and didn't recognize Yun Si, Qin Ye's reaction to Yun Si was clearly different from his reaction to Lin Shuyan.
"Qin Ye."
Despite the excruciating pain in her shoulder, Yun Si trembled as she took out the antidote pill and gently coaxed him, "Open your mouth, let's take the antidote, and you won't feel uncomfortable anymore."
Qin Ye was completely unconscious, and only instinctively pulled her into his arms, his hot breath spraying onto her neck with a dangerous aggression.
This can't go on.
Yun Si panicked a little. If Qin Ye forced himself on her at this moment, she would have no ability to resist.
The key issue... she was afraid he would kill her.
Glancing at Lin Shuyan, who had just recovered from her shock, Yun Si said sternly, "Aren't you going to come and help!"
Seeing Qin Ye's reaction to Yun Si, a sinister hatred flashed in Lin Shuyan's eyes.
On what grounds?
Why is it that Yun Si can get away with anything by getting close to him, but she can't?
If Qin Ye were to do something to harm Yun Si right now, Lin Shuyan definitely wouldn't help him. But judging from the situation, Qin Ye only wants to harm Yun Si...
no!
She absolutely cannot let Yun Si get away with this.
Lin Shuyan pretended to be flustered and got up to help.
Yun Si held the pill to Qin Ye's lips.
Qin Ye clenched his teeth, and with great effort, she managed to feed him the pill while he was panting with his head tilted back.
Lin Shuyan rushed over, but couldn't help at all.
The pills melt in your mouth.
Qin Ye frowned and let out a painful groan.
He held his head in his hands, his body trembling slightly.
"Qin Ye!"
Upon seeing this, Yun Si looked worried.
Although this medicine can cure all poisons, Qin Ye has been poisoned by the Peach Blossom Barrier and another unknown toxin, so this medicine may not be able to cure him.
Lin Shuyan stared at Yun Si's back, especially the white jade hairpin in her hair, her eyes gradually turning cold.
This hairpin was actually worn by Yun Si in her hair!
She served Qin Ye's mother for three years, and that hairpin was a keepsake left by his mother.
Qin's mother had said that the hairpin was meant for her future daughter-in-law.
Lin Shuyan always thought that Qin's mother would give her the hairpin, but in the end, she waited for three years and still didn't receive it.
Qin's mother clearly said that she wanted Qin Ye to marry her, but the hairpin was not given to her directly, but to Qin Ye instead!
Now it's even on Yun Si's head.
How could Lin Shuyan not hate?
A strong sense of resentment and jealousy welled up in her eyes.
Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Lin Shuyan quietly reached into her hair and pulled out a sharp silver hairpin, holding it in her hand.
"Yun Si!"
Taking advantage of Yun Si's attention being entirely on Qin Ye, Lin Shuyan raised her hand and suddenly stabbed the silver hairpin into Yun Si's back: "Go to hell!"
Just as the hairpin was about to pierce Yun Si's body, unexpectedly, she was prepared and dodged to the side almost the instant Lin Shuyan made her move, while simultaneously flicking her wrist back.
A handful of white powder was precisely sprinkled onto Lin Shuyan's face.
Lin Shuyan screamed in terror, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, completely still.
"Lin Shuyan, Lin Shuyan, if you hadn't made the first move, I might have let you live for a couple more days. Now..."
Yun Si drew her dagger, her eyes coldly fixed on the person on the ground.
She raised her knife, intending to seize this opportunity to eliminate this threat.
Just then, the voices of two men talking could be heard outside the cave, vaguely mentioning "Miss Lin".
Lin Shuyan's people?
"Damn it."
Yun Si cursed under her breath, and without thinking, she grabbed Qin Ye and hid in the shadows deeper into the cave.
Just as the two hid, footsteps entered the cave.
"Miss Lin must have succeeded by now. In the future, when she becomes a princess, the two of us brothers can also enter the palace and become guards. We'll never have to worry about food or drink again."
"Yeah, it's better than being a bandit. Luckily we met Miss Lin this time and didn't have to participate in this operation. The chief's death was truly tragic."
Two men quickly walked in. As they were talking, they spotted the unconscious Lin Shuyan. They exchanged a glance and then hurriedly went to help her up.
"Miss Lin, what's wrong?"
The two glanced around the cave and, not seeing Xiao Wang, their expressions changed immediately.
"What happened? Where are they?"
"It seems Miss Lin didn't succeed. Even with Prince Xiao in that state, how could he still escape!"
Hiding in the shadows, Qin Ye let out a suppressed growl, threatening to alert those outside.
Yun Si had a sudden thought. She raised her hand, pressed it against the back of his neck, and kissed him without saying a word.
The moment their lips touched, all of Qin Ye's sounds ceased, leaving only slightly heavy breathing.
Yun Si closed her eyes, feeling his body's needs and burning heat; her back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Her approach was merely a stopgap measure, but Qin Ye clearly benefited from it.
She would shrink back a little, and he would move forward a little, chasing after her to kiss her.
Until she was pressed against the hard stone wall of the cave.
The uneven stone wall made her back ache.
Yun Si wanted to curse.
Fortunately, the two men in the cave didn't intend to search further inside; instead, they helped Lin Shuyan leave the cave.
"Qin Ye..."
His suppressed breathing grew heavier and heavier, and Yun Si was held tightly in his arms, with nowhere to retreat.
"Qin Ye, are you awake?"
Yun Si used all her strength to push him away slightly: "Bear with it, I have to treat your wound first."
Qin Ye was not fully conscious.
Yun Si pushed him away, but he immediately clung to her again.
He expressed strong dissatisfaction with Yun Si's attempt to push him away.
An unconscious groan escaped from his throat, sounding like a wronged and distressed beast, like a wounded animal lost and disoriented.
Yun Si's bones ached from being squeezed so tightly, and she couldn't break free at all.
Actually, she wasn't much better off; she was just holding on by sheer willpower.
If Qin Ye didn't need her right now, she really wanted to faint.
Even after so much time had passed, she could still feel that Qin Ye's body heat had not diminished at all. The blood seeping from his wounds mixed with cold sweat, sticking their clothes together.
"Qin Ye."
She softened her voice and gently pressed her fingertips on his temples to soothe his restless veins: "Shall I treat your wound first? It won't hurt anymore once it's treated."
Qin Ye must have heard Yun Si's words, as his tense body relaxed slightly, but he nuzzled his head even harder against her neck.
The scalding breath made her skin go numb.
Yun Si gritted her teeth and used one hand to rummage through the medicine pouch she carried with her.
Her fingers touched a cool porcelain bottle containing potent detoxifying powder and fever-reducing pills that she had specially prepared.
If this medicine can temporarily restore his consciousness, and when combined with the Tian Shan Snow Lotus, he won't have to worry about even the most severe injuries.
Just as she was about to pour out the pills, Qin Ye suddenly let out a low groan, his body convulsed violently, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
A deeper ferocity surged from the depths of his bloodshot eyes.
"It hurts..."
He murmured indistinctly, holding Yun Si close and rubbing against her ear repeatedly: "Help me... Yun Si."
Yun Si was stunned upon hearing this.
If he was not in a good mental state, how could he be so certain that she was beside him?
