Upon hearing those words, a certain Prince Regent coughed awkwardly. A slightly unnatural expression could be seen on his handsome face as well. He hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Yu Yunxi’s stern gaze, he finally removed his robe.
Although Yu Yunxi was mentally prepared, when she saw the injuries on Feng Yili’s back, her heart trembled. His back was bloody and riddled with wounds. She clenched her hands tightly and asked hoarsely, “Why didn’t you tell me you’re injured?”
“It’s not serious,” Feng Yili replied calmly.
Yu Yunxi exhaled and said softly, “Wait here. I’m going out to see if I can find any medicinal herbs.”
Upon seeing this, Feng Yili hurriedly put on his clothes and grabbed her hand.
“I want to go with you.”
Feng Yili did not give her a chance to refuse him and quickly walked with her.
Seeing how adamant he was, Yu Yunxi hesitated but did not stop him.
Fortunately, it had already stopped raining at this time. With Feng Yili’s help, she quickly found the medicinal herbs she needed.
“This is great. With these herbs, you won’t have to suffer tonight,” Yu Yunxi said happily as she picked the herbs. When she stood up, she saw Feng Yili standing behind her, and she almost fell into his arms.
“Be careful. The ground is slippery,” Feng Yili said in a deep voice as he held her.
When Yu Yunxi felt the warmth of his hand, she looked at his side profile. Her emotions were rather complicated at this moment.
“Let’s go back,” Feng Yili said, not giving her a chance to reject him and quickly brought her away.
Yu Yunxi stared at him.
Feng Yili thought that she was worried about Qian Qing and the others so he said, “Earlier, there were smoke and flames at the top of the mountain. That was a unique communication method from the Prince Regent’s Residence. That was Jiang Ying reporting to me that everything is fine and that they’re searching for us.”
Yu Yunxi quickly shook her head. “I’m not worried about this. I also believe in the people of the Prince Regent’s Residence.”
In terms of strength, Prince Rui’s Residence was like a mantis that was trying to block a chariot, which was the Prince Regent’s Residence.
“Then you…” Feng Yili looked at her from the corners of his eyes curiously.
“I’m just curious… How did you know where we were?” Yu Yunxi asked softly, thinking about how he had rushed over to save her.
“Originally, I went to Yu Residence to look for you, but Junjin said you went to visit the Jian family. I was worried something would happen to you so Luo Xiuran and I went to look for you. After that, I heard that you might have gone to the temple…”
“As for why the reinforcements came later, it was because I was investigating something recently. Two months ago, the tea business in Qingzhou started to take off. The Emperor handed the jurisdiction of this area to Feng Wei’an. Everyone knows that tea leaves are very profitable. The other princes were naturally jealous of Feng Wei’an…”
“Feng Weirui had begged for the jurisdiction of this palace from the Emperor several times, but the Emperor has always been suspicious of him and Marquis Jian Zhong. The Emperor naturally remained unmoved. After all, Feng Wei’an’s background is much weaker than that of Feng Weirui. In the end, Feng Weirui was forced to drop this matter…”
“However, with Feng Weirui’s personality, how could he let this matter go so easily?” Feng Yili asked mockingly.
Feng Yili knew that Feng Weirui would definitely try to deal with Feng Wei’an. Luo Xiuran also reminded him that Buddha Mountain was under Feng Wei’an so many things were connected.
“I see.” Yu Yunxi nodded. Suddenly, she remembered something. She glanced at him from the corners of her eyes and asked tentatively, “You went to Yu Residence to see Junjin. What did you talk about?”
Seeing the nervous expression on Yu Yunxi’s face, Feng Yili sighed inwardly. He naturally knew that she was afraid that Yu Junjin’s identity would be exposed.
“Nothing much. I just asked where you had gone…”
Feng Yili decided to pretend he did not know anything since she wanted to keep the matter a secret.
When they returned to the cave, Yu Yunxi found a stone and began to pound the herbs.
“Quickly remove your clothes. I’ll apply the medicine for you,” Yu Yunxi said anxiously. However, when she turned around, she discovered that he did not remove his clothes.
Instead, he walked behind her and gently pressed her shoulders to make her sit down. Then, he pulled up her sleeves and began to apply medicine to the wounds on her arms. At the same time, he said seriously, “In the future, you should think about yourself first before thinking about others, and that includes me.”
Yu Yunxi felt as though someone had stabbed her heart when she heard these words.
“But you…”
She wanted to say that in his current state, he should take care of himself first as well.
As though he could read her mind, he said, “I’m different from you. It’s my responsibility to protect you. You don’t have the responsibility to protect others…”
Yu Yunxi fell silent.
Feng Yili knew that she was already slowly accepting him. He really wished he could ask her directly if she was willing to return to the Prince Regent’s Residence. However, he held back. He could tell that she was exhausted, and not only that, but she seemed to be carrying a lot on her back. He also knew that he could not rush the plan to get her to return to the Prince Regent’s Residence; he had to move slowly.
After he was done, Yu Yunxi applied medicine for him on his back.
After that, the two of them did not speak anymore. Instead, they each found a corner and lay down.
When Yu Yunxi felt that Feng Yili had fallen asleep, she slowly opened her eyes.
She quietly moved to his side and placed the back of her hand against his forehead. After she confirmed that his body was not hot, she sighed in relief. She looked at him for a while before she finally returned to her original position and lay down.
Not long after Yu Yunxi fell asleep, Feng Yili opened his eyes. He stared at her
for a long time before he walked over, removed his outer robe, and covered her body with it.
He sighed.
‘How can I make things okay between us? How can I make up for the five years that we were apart?’
The next morning.
When Yu Yunxi woke up, she realized that she was covered with Feng Yili’s robe and that he was no longer in the cave. She got up and looked around anxiously.
In the next moment, Feng Yili walked in. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong arms.
“Where did you?” Yu Yunxi asked anxiously as soon as she saw him.
Feng Yili was slightly stunned when he heard how anxious she was. A trace of a smile flashed in the depths of his eyes. He finally knew that she cared about him..
