tent.
When Jiang Yunzhu saw Shen Xingjian being carried in, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
She practically sprinted over to him.
Her hands trembled as she touched his face, her voice choked with sobs, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"How...how did you get injured like this?"
Shen Xingjian's face was as pale as paper, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and there was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.
Most of his clothes were already soaked in blood, especially near his chest, the bright red color was particularly shocking.
When the imperial physician stepped forward to examine him, Jiang Yunzhu could hardly bear to look directly at him when he opened his clothes.
His chest was almost entirely covered in welts, with deep, uneven welts carved into his flesh, the edges of which were curled up.
In some places, a thick liquid even seeped out, emitting a faint stench of decay.
His arms were covered with abrasions and bruises, the most noticeable being a deep laceration on his left wrist that exposed the bone.
Jiang Yunzhu cried so hard she could barely breathe.
The maidservant rushed forward to support her, fearing that she might faint.
The imperial physician carefully examined Shen Xingjian's pulse, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. "General Shen is indeed seriously injured and has lost a lot of blood, but fortunately there are no fatal wounds."
"However, it's hard to say when he'll wake up."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunzhu's tears flowed even more fiercely, and she could barely stand up.
She bit her lip, raised her hand to cover her face, and wept bitterly.
Xie Jing stood quietly to the side, listening intently, his eyes lowered in thought.
Who would be so ruthless to Shen Xingjian?
Is it aimed at him, or at Xie Yanli and the Emperor behind him?
If it's targeting Xie Yanli and the Emperor? Who would dare to be so bold?
Wasn't the King of Qi already executed?
If it's not him, then it must be someone else who wants to rebel...
Xie Jing knew very little about politics and could only rely on his own speculation to roughly deduce a prelude.
The truth will only be known after Shen Xingjian wakes up.
Under the cliff.
As dawn broke outside, the cave remained gloomy and dark, with only a small fire burning faintly.
"Your Majesty, please have some fruit."
Mo Qingkui handed Gao Xian a large, red fruit, her face beaming with smiles.
"These are from the tree that I just picked; they're especially sweet."
Her voice was soft and pleasant, with a hint of ingratiation.
Gao Xian did not reach out to take it, but simply watched her quietly.
Mo Qingkui was somewhat at a loss, and the smile on her face gradually became unnatural.
Why is he still angry even after a whole night?
Why can't we get over something as trivial as a few fruits?
Mo Qingkui was a little annoyed, but she could no longer vent her anger on Gao Xian as she had before.
She pursed her lips and continued in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, you can't skip breakfast; it's bad for your health."
Gao Xian's gaze remained fixed on her face, his expression deep and complex.
Last night, he suddenly remembered many things from the past.
In his memory, Mo Qingkui always seemed to be bullied.
She had a very difficult time in the period immediately after being named Consort Chen.
Her mother disliked her and summoned her to the palace every day to learn the rules.
Consort Xian disliked her, and he witnessed Consort Xian speaking ill of her on many occasions.
The other concubines in the palace also disliked her.
She had no friends, no family, and was all alone.
Protecting her became his biggest daily concern.
Over the years, it has become a habit.
But now...
Gao Xian's gaze shifted from her face, his expression still appearing dazed.
After a moment, he said in a low voice, "You eat it yourself."
Mo Qingkui paused for a moment, her smile still on her face, but with a hint of unconcealed disappointment.
Even Xie Yanli noticed the unusual behavior between the two.
After finishing the fruit, Xie Yanli walked over to Qin Jiuwei and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong with them?"
Qin Jiuwei couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the puzzled look on Xie Yanli's face.
This was the first time I'd seen him like this; he was completely devoid of his usual composure and calmness, instead revealing a rare sense of helplessness.
She had noticed before that Xie Yanli always seemed slow to react and quite insensitive when it came to matters of the heart.
Whether it's for oneself or for others.
It's as if they were born without any sense of love.
Qin Jiuwei sighed helplessly and whispered in his ear, "You two had a fight."
It's actually far more serious than arguing.
In her previous life, she was the one who was murdered, and she was the one who became a poisonous woman.
Mo Qingkui is always clean and tidy.
In this life, things are getting increasingly out of control.
"Then let's not fight, okay?" Xie Yanli said in a low voice.
"Okay, let's not argue."
Qin Jiuwei raised her head and smiled sweetly.
Her peach blossom eyes curved into a smile, her watery gaze shimmering and rippling.
Xie Yanli stared blankly at the shimmering light in her eyes, his heart pounding wildly.
He wanted to lean down and kiss her.
But there are so many other people here.
Xie Yanli glanced outside and saw that the rain was gradually subsiding.
He turned to look at Gao Xian and Mo Qingkui inside the cave.
"The rain has lessened a bit. Jiuwei and I will go out and catch a few rabbits. We can't just keep eating fruit."
After saying that, without waiting for their reaction, he pulled Qin Jiuwei out.
The rain outside had indeed lessened considerably, with fine raindrops falling to the ground and making a soft pattering sound.
How do you catch a rabbit?
Before Qin Jiuwei could react, Xie Yanli pulled her out.
She had barely finished speaking when he pulled her into his arms.
Xie Yanli quickly took off his cloak and held it over their heads to shield them from the raindrops falling from above.
A small world was formed beneath the cloak.
Qin Jiu looked up at him, as if she realized something.
A blush instantly spread across her cheeks.
Xie Yanli's deep eyes fell on her face, then he suddenly lowered his head, his breath brushing against her cheek.
He then firmly kissed her lips.
At first, it was just a careful sketch, with a bit of trial and error.
But gradually, the kiss deepened, their lips and tongues warm and tender.
It's like she's completely integrated into your very being.
Qin Jiuwei trembled subconsciously and instinctively reached out to clutch his collar.
