“Second Sister is covered in blood. Please, Qing'er, help Second Sister wipe off the blood with some dry clothes first. This way, I can further examine her wounds.” Li Taiyi sighed. “She has been scratched all over by wild wolves. It's truly unfortunate.”
“There are scratches all over from the wild wolves. Why didn’t Qing'er notice?”
“Qing'er, you may not know this, but take a closer look at the area you just wiped for Second Sister. Blood has appeared there again. The priority now is to stop the bleeding and then clean the wounds. However, we are currently in the carriage, and it’s bumpy, making it unsuitable to use needles.”
“Li Taiyi, Qing'er knows a little about meridians. Let’s first apply pressure points to seal her meridians.” Qing'er quickly pressed the acupoints on Xia Yuhan to stop the bleeding. “Li Taiyi. Is this better?”
“Quickly find some clean clothes and gather more gauze. I don’t have enough supplies for treatment here.”
“Understood, Li Taiyi.”
……
Cang Yile drove the carriage at a rapid pace. Before reaching the creek, he instructed Qing'er: “We’re almost at the creek, Qing'er. Take out the cushions from the carriage and place them by the riverbank.”
“Yes, my lord.” Qing'er did not dare to be careless and immediately followed the order.
Cang Yile anxiously carried Xia Yuhan out of the carriage while asking Li Taiyi about her condition: “Li Taiyi, is she going to wake up from this fainting?”
“In response to your question, my lord, Second Sister is weak. Moreover, her previous injuries were not properly treated, and she has been under a lot of stress lately. Therefore, she is likely just in a deep sleep right now. We can only wait until she has rested enough to wake up. But if she doesn’t wake up soon, I fear she might fall into eternal slumber.”
“How could this happen? This King is mainly worried that if she sleeps like this, she might not wake up again. It’s difficult to recover from such a state because I was also severely injured before and needed to stay awake. That’s why I asked you, Li Taiyi. What should we do now?”
“In response to your question, my lord, we need to assess the situation more closely. Please, Qing'er, hurry and help Second Sister dry off her body. Remember, do not let her wounds come into contact with water.”
Li Taiyi was quite concerned about Xia Yuhan’s condition and hurriedly replied to Cang Yile, not even pausing for breath as she urged Qing'er.
Truth be told, Li Taiyi did not fully trust Cang Yile. He secretly signaled Qing'er with a glance, indicating her to stay alert.
Qing'er immediately understood Cang Yile's intention.
“Li Taiyi, let me handle this. There are differences between men and women. I fear the imperial physician may find it inconvenient.”
“Alright. Hurry up. Just do a simple bandage and then head straight to the capital. After all, we didn't expect to face wild wolves this time, so we didn't bring too many medicines.” Li Taiyi anxiously instructed while going to the stream to fetch clean water for Qing'er.
“Yes, Li Taiyi.”
However, as soon as Qing'er finished speaking, she suddenly felt a murderous aura closing in around her.
Cang Yile had long sensed the danger nearby and realized that someone had set an ambush. He had already gripped his sword tightly with one hand.
Now he even suspected whether Li Taiyi was in cahoots with those people.
Before long, about fifty black-clad figures appeared around them. Unlike before, these black-clad individuals were all archers.
Cang Yile flicked his sword with his thumb: “Qing'er, protect Yu Han well.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Seeing the bloodthirsty look in Cang Yile's eyes, Qing'er felt somewhat dazed. After following Cang Yile for so many years, she had never seen him so flustered when facing enemies...
With one hand holding her long sword, Qing'er carefully wiped down Xia Yuhan, quickly bandaging the obvious bleeding spots on her body with gauze.
In front of Qing'er, Cang Yile, holding his sword, looked grimly at the archers dressed in black.
Seeing that they were slow to launch an attack, Cang Yile smiled wickedly and said, "What's wrong? Afraid to attack? Are you scared of dying, or does your master want to leave a survivor?"
The leader of the black-clad men shouted loudly, "Hand over Xia Yuhan, and we guarantee your safety."
"Hmph. First update," Cang Yile sneered. "Although my status is not as high as that of a normal prince, it certainly doesn't mean that you thieves can bully me. Since you have come here alive today, don't expect to leave here alive."
"What if you are a prince? If you don't step aside now, even the sharpest sword won't be able to block all the arrows at such close range." They were only worried about Xia Yuhan getting hurt again by the arrows.
Cang Yile's voice began to grow darker. At this moment, he seemed no longer like the prince who used to smile wickedly but rather like a murderous demon. Each word made the black-clad men tremble with fear: "Oh? Is that so? You are so confident that you can kill me?"
As soon as Cang Yile finished speaking, he suddenly lifted his left foot and used it to kick up a thick tree trunk lying on the ground. Before the black-clad men could draw their bows, he swung the tree trunk at them.
About ten arrows that had not been fully drawn suddenly changed direction and shot off into the air.
Cang Yile gave them no chance to resist. With swift steps and a dancing sword, in the blink of an eye, dozens of black-clad men who came to attack fell to the ground.
Only the Leader of the Black-Clad Men remained.
"You... who are you? This is terrifying," the Leader of the Black-Clad Men said, retreating in fear as Cang Yile approached him.
"Unfortunately, I'm in a bad mood today and have no time to play with you or your master."
With a swift motion of his sword, it felt as if time itself had stopped for a moment. Even the leaves floating in the air seemed frozen in place...
Then, Cang Yile casually turned around, ignoring the Leader of the Black-Clad Men, and walked directly toward Xia Yuhan.
He had barely taken a few steps when he heard a thud behind him as someone fell to the ground, but he paid it no mind.
However, Li Taiyi, who had been watching from the sidelines, was different. He couldn't help but admire Cang Yile's skills. He also secretly felt Fortunate: how wonderful. All these years have not been in vain. At least he has developed powerful martial arts.
However, Li Taiyi never expected that Cang Yile would point his sword directly at his throat next and relentlessly question him: "What is your relationship with them? There can only be one outcome here: death."
"Absolutely not. My lord, please reconsider." Li Taiyi was drenched in cold sweat. "If you kill me, it doesn't matter to me, but who will save Second Sister's life?"
Cang Yile showed no intention of letting Li Taiyi off the hook: "Although This King has been driven out of the palace and my status is as lowly as an ant, it does not mean that I will forget to guard against others just because someone suddenly treats This King well."
Li Taiyi was filled with grievances: "My lord, you are truly wronging me. You saved my family’s lives. How could I harm you?"
"You may not remember this, but when it happened, you were just ten years old. At that time, I was still a Physician. I was invited to the governor's house in the capital to treat the Governor. But for some unknown reason, while I was treating the Governor, he suddenly died from poisoning. If it weren't for Prince Yile appearing in time and realizing that I was wronged, not only would he have stood up for me, but he also personally helped me find the real culprit behind the poisoning. My family escaped death because of that."
With tears in his eyes, Li Taiyi pleaded. Finally, Cang Yile coldly sheathed his sword: "I have some impression of this incident, but so many years have passed. Who knows how people's hearts change? This time, This King will spare your life, but I cannot keep you here. Please leave. The carriage is yours."
"But my lord, we cannot delay Second Sister's treatment any longer! And if you give me the carriage, what will happen to Second Sister?"
"This King knows what to do. I won't joke about my beloved woman. If you truly want to help This King, you might as well declare that Cang Yile and Xia Yuhan are being pursued by unknown assailants. Now go."
With that, Cang Yile ignored Li Taiyi. He took their belongings and some necessities from the carriage and instructed Qing'er: "Qing'er, we are going to Xia Yang Village."
"Yes, my lord."
At that moment, Qing'er had just finished tending to Xia Yuhan's wounds and carefully lifted her up upon hearing Cang Yile's command.
"Qing'er, let’s go."
"Yes."
They did not walk far. Cang Yile quickly took Qing'er to a nearby cave.
"This King is truly fortunate. The last time I passed through this place, I accidentally discovered it. Qing'er, you should go back and secretly follow Li Taiyi. See if he really intends to help us. If he has any ulterior motives, show no mercy."
"Yes, Master. But Master, what about Second Sister? She is seriously injured and still unconscious."
"You send a message to Master. Have him hurry with medicine to treat her. We will go to the nearby Kunlun Cave. That is our resting point, so it is relatively safer."
"Master, Qing'er does not understand. Why go through such trouble? If you truly do not trust Li Taiyi, why not just kill him as well?"
"Not possible. Li Taiyi is the head of the Imperial Medical Institute. If he stands on our side, then we will have more control over the situation in the palace courtyard. Now go quickly."
After Cang Yile gave his orders, he anxiously held Xia Yuhan and left the cave, flying rapidly in another direction.
Kunlun Cave. This time he would finally take his beloved woman to the place where he had been hiding. Whenever he felt most distressed, he would hide here alone and cry secretly in helplessness.
It was also here that he met Fuyazi...
