Chapter 93 You're Not Allowed to Go Anywhere, Wait for Me to Come Back
Awu, along with Yunsi, silently entered the room like a falling leaf.
As it landed, the night breeze it stirred up caused the candlelight to flicker gently.
She rushed to the bedside, and just as she was about to speak, Qin Ye grabbed her wrist.
His palms were hot, and the force was so strong it felt like he was going to crush her bones.
"Who sent you?"
His voice was filled with anger, but his eyes held a hint of fear: "Do you know how many eyes are watching this palace? If you break into the palace at night like this and get caught, you'll be executed as an assassin!"
Yun Si was startled by his shout, then grasped his hand in return, her fingertips tracing the bulging veins on the back of his hand: "I'm worried about you."
Four words, as light as a feather, instantly smoothed away the fierceness in Qin Ye's eyes.
He looked at the dust on her face and the weariness in her eyes, and finally couldn't help but sigh. He pulled her hand closer to him and said, "Come here."
Yun Si moved closer as instructed, her nose almost touching his cheek.
She could smell the faint scent of medicine on him, mixed with his unique, refreshing aroma. Her heart warmed, and just as she was about to speak, she heard him say in a low voice, "You must not take such risks again."
He was genuinely afraid.
Yun Si was only worried about his injuries at the time and didn't think about anything else.
"Don't worry, my injury is much better now."
Qin Ye's gaze fell on her fingers, red from being pricked by the roof tiles, and his eyes darkened: "I will handle things with the Jiang family. You stay in the Prince's mansion and are not allowed to go anywhere until I return."
"Qin Ye..."
Yun Si knew that he brought this up now to put her mind at ease.
He defied the imperial decree to refuse the marriage alliance and was even beaten with eighty lashes for it. What else could she possibly be worried about?
If... we really can't escape this calamity...
Yun Si was very annoyed.
But looking at his pale yet resolute face, she suddenly felt calm again.
She reached out and brushed the stray hairs from his forehead: "Then you need to get better soon."
Qin Ye took her hand in his own and placed it in his warm palm.
In truth, no one knew how he felt when he saw Yun Si.
How happy and excited we were.
But all of these are insignificant compared to Yun Si's safety.
“You came last night and knew I was alright, so you shouldn’t have come again tonight,”
"Don't worry, we're very careful and won't be discovered. You know what A-Wu is capable of."
After listening to Yun Si's words, Qin Ye hesitated to speak.
He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately didn't.
There was still a deep worry in his eyes.
Others may not know, but he knew very well how terrifying the Phantom Guards around Emperor Jiaqing were.
No matter how skilled Ah Wu is, there's always the possibility of him making a mistake. If he's accidentally discovered, the consequences... he can't imagine them, and he can't accept them.
Yun Si reached out and smoothed Qin Ye's furrowed brows.
"Alright, you shouldn't worry too much right now. The most important thing is to recover from your injuries quickly so you can return home sooner."
After saying that, she made a gesture as if to untie the belt in front of his abdomen.
Qin Ye grabbed her hand again: "Don't look, it's ugly."
"It's too late."
Yun Si ignored him and forcibly untied the cloth: "I already saw it last night. I cleaned it for you myself. Besides, I don't think it's ugly, I just think..."
"What do you feel?"
Qin Ye stared intently at her, his gaze burning like fire.
Yun Si was silent for a moment before softly uttering two words: "It hurts."
As soon as she said those words, her eyes reddened.
Eighty strokes of the cane, that must have hurt terribly.
"alright."
Qin Ye pulled her into his arms and whispered comfortingly, "It doesn't actually hurt."
"nonsense."
"Really, it hurt at first, but then I became numb and couldn't feel the pain anymore. This morning, Dr. Ji gave me painkillers, saying that you gave them to me. After taking them, I haven't felt any pain since."
Hearing him say that, Yun Si felt a little better.
"The painkiller I gave Dr. Ji is a highly effective one. It should only be taken when the pain is severe. It shouldn't be taken casually. If you can bear it, try to bear it."
Her pink lips parted slightly, her voice soft and gentle: "And don't worry, I won't let you have any scars..."
Qin Ye suddenly leaned in and kissed her.
Yun Si's voice stopped abruptly.
Her face flushed slightly, and she casually brushed a stray hair from her forehead.
Despite their numerous intimate encounters, she still blushes so easily.
Yun Si felt that she was a bit pathetic.
"Um, let me change your dressing."
This time, Qin Ye did not stop her, letting her take off the loosely draped outer robe.
White gauze, stained with blood.
When the gauze was removed, it was stuck to the skin and flesh, with a subtle yet clear pulling sensation, which made Yun Si's hand tremble involuntarily.
She tried her best to stay calm.
Although the dark red bloodstains had dried, new blood droplets slowly seeped out from the edges of the wound as the gauze was removed.
The redness seeped into the newly exposed wound.
shocking.
This injury is far from being healed.
Yun Si forced herself to calm down, quickly cleaned and disinfected Qin Ye, then re-bandaged him, and carefully helped him put on his outer robe.
“You have to sleep on your stomach for a while now, so you can’t put pressure on the wound.”
"Yeah." Qin Ye responded.
Yun Si saw him leaning against the headboard with difficulty, without even a soft pillow, and it made her feel very uncomfortable.
Thankfully, the blow was to the back, not the buttocks.
Otherwise, they can't even sit up; they can only lie down.
However, this also shows that Emperor Jiaqing was truly ruthless; beating the back was the most severe form of punishment.
He wasn't afraid of beating his own son to death.
In the imperial family, kinship is indeed weak; there is no father-son affection. A single displeasure or dissatisfaction can cost one's life.
Yun Si stayed with Qin Ye until dawn.
During this time, Qin Ye urged her to leave several times, but Yun Si wouldn't leave, and he couldn't bear to part with her either, so the two of them stayed up all night.
Doctor Ji came once, but upon seeing Yun Si there, he quietly withdrew.
Before leaving, he saw Ah Wu, who was sometimes grinning foolishly, sometimes frowning, and sometimes angry.
Is this little girl mentally unstable?
Dr. Ji was so frightened that he quickened his pace.
As dawn approached, Yun Si knew she had no choice but to leave.
We haven't figured out what's going on with the person in the mansion who's keeping an eye on Qiwu Garden. We absolutely can't let him find out that she wasn't in Qiwu Garden last night.
Yun Si didn't tell Qin Ye about this yet, because she didn't want him to worry about so much while he was recovering.
Before leaving, Qin Ye said very seriously, "You are not allowed to come again tonight."
Just as Yun Si was about to agree, he suddenly changed his mind: "Not tonight, but from now on you are never allowed to enter the palace this way, do you hear me?"
"...I heard you."
To avoid worrying him, Yun Si readily agreed.
Seeing this, Qin Ye nodded in satisfaction: "I will have someone report my news to you every day so you can rest assured."
"good."
Yun Si thought for a moment, then said, "You need to be careful of the Empress and Jiang Wanning. They... might do something to you."
Qin Ye's expression froze.
He immediately understood, nodded, and indicated that he would pay attention.
Having said what she needed to say, Yun Si went to the outer hall to give instructions to Doctor Ji.
Ask Dr. Ji to help keep an eye on Jiang Wanning, especially the food she brings. Even if the tests show no problems, Qin Ye shouldn't eat it, and she shouldn't be left alone with Qin Ye.
Dr. Ji nodded in agreement.
After she finished speaking, she was about to ask A-Wu to take her away when she suddenly realized that A-Wu was not in a good state.
"A-Wu?"
