The sky was getting darker. At the corner of the second floor of the inn, a candle was lit. The light from the candle reflected off the window.
Jian Qiuying sat by the side of the bed, staring at the Ke Yuehua lying on the bed, his heart aching slightly. All these years, the only person who truly cared about him was Ke Yuehua.
When he was young, every time he was bullied and injured by people from the cliff, he would be treated with Ke Yuehua and cared about him. When he didn't have food to eat, Yue Hua would also give him half of her food.
The fact that his Jian Qiuying had not grown into that of a person with Qin Yu was all thanks to Yue Hua. It gave him warmth, making him believe that there was still warmth in this world, and he was still willing to help others.
"Yue Hua, is he really that important? Is it worth it for you to not even give up your life for him? " The Jian Qiuying was secretly helping her feel that it wasn't worth it.
Suddenly, Ke Yuehua on the bed snorted.
Jian Qiuying straightened his body and stared at Ke Yuehua's face. Late autumn also brought a cup of tea from the table to the bedside to watch Ke Yuehua, prepared to serve tea and water at any time.
"En ~" "En ~" Ke Yuehua slowly opened his eyes, "Water, I want to drink water." The hoarse voice spoke of its requirements.
"Water!" Jian Qiuying shouted as he took the teacup from Wan Qiu's hands. With his right hand, he placed the pillow above Ke Yuehua's head and supported it up, leaning it against the back of the bed.
Jian Qiuying slowly moved the teacup in his left hand to the corner of his mouth.
Ke Yuehua drank little sips after drinking it all. After drinking it all, evening autumn considerately used a handkerchief to dry the drool from the corner of his lips.
After drinking the water, Ke Yuehua was completely awake, "Autumn Shadow, you're back."
"Yes." Yue Hua, are you feeling better now? " Jian Qiuying pulled up the corner of the blanket on behalf of Ke Yuehua, preventing even the slightest bit of wind on his Ke Yuehua.
Ke Yuehua nodded, "I feel much better now. Let's go early tomorrow morning. Shi Jinchen is still waiting for me to save his life! "
"Yue Hua, is he that important? You don't need any for the sake of life? " The Jian Qiuying was extremely puzzled.
Ke Yuehua stared ahead, and said with a resolute voice. He treats me very well, he doesn't need it for my life, and I don't need it for my life. "
Jian Qiuying was shocked by the resolute tone of Ke Yuehua, because he had never seen Ke Yuehua reveal such an expression for a man. In her eyes, there was a joy and admiration that she did not discover, when he mentioned the name Shi Jinchen.
"Alright. We'll leave tomorrow at the appointed time, and you should get some rest tonight. " Jian Qiuying compromised, "Only after you rest well can you safely save Shi Jinchen."
Jian Qiuying left the room, and returned to prepare for tomorrow's departure.
The night passed. After the crowing of chickens, the inn began its work for the day. The waiter was preparing to chop firewood and boil water. The chefs were preparing the necessary dishes for the day in an orderly manner.
With the help of the late autumn, the Ke Yuehua was tidied up. After tidying up everything, he went downstairs to meet up with the Jian Qiuying.
After eating a simple breakfast, a bowl of noodles, typical Henan food.
After eating their fill, Ke Yuehua and autumn boarded a horse carriage. Jian Qiuying drove the carriage outside the carriage door, heading towards Ji Nan.
Six hours after they set off again, they found a shady area. Late Autumn support Ke Yuehua up to the bottom of the big tree, eating buns, drinking some water, and resting while leaning against the big tree for a while.
Jian Qiuying removed the horse from the carriage, pulling it to the side so that it could eat grass and recuperate.
Suddenly, Jian Qiuying carried the horse back to the carriage, and walked to the side of Ke Yuehua and the latter. Looking at Ke Yuehua, he suddenly unsheathed his sword, held it tightly in front of his chest, and signalled with his eyes for the latter to lift the Ke Yuehua up onto the carriage.
"Ya, give me your life." Three people ran out from the bushes at the side. All of them had long swords in their hands and were wearing black tight clothes.
The people in front of him were not his match at all, they were all the lower leveled members of the broken sword cliff. He raised his sword, and with a few 'shua' sounds, two people died.
Jian Qiuying placed the sword at the neck of the remaining person, and asked: "Who sent you?"
"Left Protector, spare me!" That person was kneeling down and begging for forgiveness, but he was too scared to move because of the sword on his neck.
"Speak!"
"I said, I said, it's the right protector. The right protector issued the killing order, saying that if you see Ke Yuehua, you will be killed without exception."
"Left Protector, spare me!"
Jian Qiuying waved his right hand, and the man's neck flew out.
He walked back to the carriage and said, "We will be leaving immediately. We might meet them on the way, so we have to pay more attention to them."
"Yes, yes. Is Big Brother Jian alright?" Late autumn asked in concern after seeing the bloodstains on the sleeves of his Jian Qiuying.
Jian Qiuying shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then closed the curtain, "Go!" The carriage continued on its way.
Fortunately, he was safe and sound all the way, and he finally arrived at Mt. Tai on the last day of the deadline.
"Miss, you're finally back." With a crying face, Jing Yi ran in front of him.
"How's your Shi Jinchen? Quick, help me go check on him." Ke Yuehua did not bother to reply to Jing Yi, as he said to Wan Qiu who was beside him.
Jing Yi followed behind Ke Yuehua and the rest, walking towards Shi Jinchen's room.
Pushing the door open, Imperial Physician Li excitedly asked: "Miss Xiao Sui, did you get the antidote?"
The people in the room, Imperial Physician Li, the butler, and the guards all looked at Ke Yuehua with anticipation.
Ke Yuehua took out the medicine bottle from her sleeve, and Imperial Physician Li anxiously took it. He immediately took one pill and placed it before his nose to smell it, "Alright, your highness is saved."
Then, he pried open Shi Jinchen's mouth and stuffed it in. Waiting until Shi Jinchen gulped down, his face revealed a smile as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
The others all revealed their first smiles of the past eight days.
The butler looked at the Shi Jinchen in front of him until Imperial Physician Li finished checking his pulse and nodded to indicate his relief.
He clasped his hands together and sighed, "Amitabha!"
"Miss Xiao Sui, the prince being saved is all because of you." The butler thanked Ke Yuehua and discovered that it had already fainted.
"Miss Xiao Sui?"
"Moon Flare!"
"Miss!"
"Miss!"
Before the first wave had even calmed down, another wave had occurred. Because the antidote had returned, everyone was able to heave a sigh of relief, and once again, took a deep breath from the fact that they had lost consciousness due to the Ke Yuehua.
Doctor Li hurried forward to check her pulse and narrowed his eyes in thought. "It's all right, Miss Tsai. She fainted because of the long journey and the long depression in her heart, and now that the matter has been resolved." However, we have not fully recovered from our internal injuries. We still need to treat them carefully.
Jian Qiuying nodded, and responded to Imperial Physician Li's question.
Jian Qiuying carried in his arms as he placed them on the same bed. Jing Yi and autumn also followed behind.
The butler also gave the orders for the servants to prepare more ingredients and medicinal ingredients that could replenish energy and blood, as well as to heal the bodies of the attendants.
