Only now did Xue Luoyun realize that this matter was likely not that simple. It seemed that this group of people had come prepared. Although dealing with these people was not a problem, but if there were experts coming from behind, then it would be difficult to deal with them.
"But your injury …" Xue Luoyun pointed hesitantly at Mu Zhuoyun's wound, which was still bleeding.
"It's fine." Mu Zhuoyun grinned and forced out a smile.
"Alright then." Xue Luoyun agreed, then quickly escaped while supporting Mu Zhuoyun. After walking for a long distance, they arrived at a relatively safe place. Seeing that Mu Zhuo was on the verge of death, Xue Ruoyun quickly helped him to a small stream and used a silk handkerchief to moisten his wound. He carefully wiped off the blood on his face and examined his wound.
"I'll do it myself." Mu Zhuo saw her wiping his face and felt a little embarrassed. He took the silk handkerchief.
"Very well. Come, have some water. " "Yes." Xue Ruyun agreed, then handed the silk handkerchief to him. He also took some water, and then walked off into the distance. Mu Zhuo looked at Xue Luoyun's back, his graceful figure, his long hair, his white clothes, and his clothes fluttering in the wind. All of this made him feel as if he was in a dream.
He saw her rummaging through the forest, and after a while, she found a few Chinese herbs. Xue Moyan washed the medicine and placed it on a rock. He crushed it with a piece of wood and carefully picked it up with his hand and placed it on a silk cloth. Mu Zhuoyun looked at her. It was real, natural, and beautiful. He was not the least bit artificial, and his entire body emitted the beauty of nature. He gripped the silk handkerchief tightly and placed it against his chest.
Xue Ruyun helped Mu Zhuoyun up and tore off the clothes on his wounds.
"Hey, hey, hey. I-I'll do it myself." Mu Zhuo's clothes were torn open a little bit and his face immediately turned red. His heart thumped as he quickly pushed it away.
Hehe, Xue Ruoyun covered his mouth and snickered inside. This Mu Zhuoyun is quite shy. He had treated other people like this before, so he forgot that the ancient people were very conservative. When Mu Zhuo opened the wound, Xue Ruoyun carefully applied the herb on him. Even though Mu Zhuo's breath was dying and his body was in abnormal pain, when he saw how meticulously Xue Ruyun took care of him, he actually felt extremely sweet and his heart was surging with emotions.
"How is it? Are you feeling better? What exactly is going on? " Xue Luoyun gave Mu Zhuoyun a simple treatment of his wounds. When he saw that Mu Zhuoyun's face had turned pale and that his lips were no longer as pale as before, he asked for the reason.
Mu Zhuo Shi's face darkened. "Ever since I took the position of Crown Prince, I have become the target of public criticism. There have been a lot of assassinations, both open and covert. "It is fortunate that I met you today. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we will meet again in my next life."
"Pei pei, jinx, don't spout nonsense." Xue Ruyun repeatedly consoled him. It was said that in the ancient imperial palace, in order to compete for power, father and son fought against each other, and their hands and feet were maimed. Now, it seemed that it truly was dangerous.
"I'll hurry up and escort you back. There might be pursuers along the way. We have to hurry back to the imperial palace to be safe." Xue Ruyun knew very well that this was not the time to lament. The crown prince's injuries were severe, and he had to be sent to the palace to be treated. Plus, he didn't know how many other assassins he had, so he had to go back quickly.
Xue Ruyun helped Mu Zhuoyun onto the horse's back as he led the horse forward. Mu Zhuo laid on the horse's back. The instant his eyes closed, all that was left in his mind was Xue Ruyun's back. He was dressed in white, and his hair fluttered in the wind. He was unforgettable in his life.
"Your majesty, how is your majesty?" When Xue Ruyun led his horse to the entrance of the palace, the guards at the entrance saw him and quickly rushed over to help Mu Zhuoyun. At this moment, he had already lost a lot of blood and he was unconscious.
"He was assassinated, hurry and announce the Imperial Physician." Xue Luoyun urged.
"Protect Your Highness, hurry and summon Imperial Physician Xuan!" A group of people carefully carried Mu Zhuo and walked inside.
Seeing that the Crown Prince was safe, Xue Ruoyun turned around and led the horse back to the Xue Manor. They walked all the way on foot,
On the bustling main street, Xue Luoyun's white clothes were already covered in muddy water, and there was even a little bit of blood. The passersby did not know what was going on and pointed at her. Xue Luoyun didn't care in the slightest, just continued walking on her own.
"What's going on?" A person who was standing in front of him suddenly grabbed Xue Moyan's arm and asked in concern.
Just now in the crowd, Mu Ying saw Xue Ruoyun from afar. Seeing that her clothes were stained with blood, Mu Sheng became extremely anxious. She instantly pushed her way through the crowd and arrived in front of Xue Luoyun.
"I, I had an accident on the mountain just now. I'm fine." Xue Luoyun patted his clothes, speaking indifferently.
"Really?" Then what about this blood stain? " Mu Sheng was still somewhat worried. He looked her up and down, afraid that she would suffer some sort of injury.
Seeing him stare at the blood on his clothes, Xue Luoyun quickly explained, "Oh, this, this isn't my blood. Don't worry." At this moment, when Xue Ruyun heard his concern, a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
"This is the crown prince's blood. Oh, right, he was assassinated. Quickly go take a look." Only now did Xue Luoyun remember this matter.
"What!?" "Where are we now?" Astonished, Mu Rong Zhan grabbed his sword and prepared to leave.
"I have already safely sent him to the palace and handed him over to the guards." Xue Ruyun urged.
"Oh, that's good." Only after hearing her say that did Mu Ying relax.
"How could this be? Why are you together with him?"
"I was out on the mountain just now and coincidentally met him when he was being assassinated. He was running for his life and coincidentally ran into me. I don't know the reason yet, so you should go take a look." Xue Luoyun urged.
Hearing his words, Mu Ying felt relieved. Since it had already been sent to the palace, there was no problem with it for the time being.
"How?" Mu Yong asked as he stared at Xue Ruyun's feet. Seeing that he was staring at his own feet, Xue Ruyun couldn't help but take a step back and use his dress to cover his feet. Because he had been walking on the mountain, his shoes were worn out and his toes were exposed. At this moment, when he saw Mu Ying, he was slightly disrespectful and hurriedly retracted his gaze.
"You walked back?" Mu Sheng was immediately aware of this as he approached her and asked.
"Oh, that, because the Crown Prince is seriously injured and he only has one horse, I had to lead him back." Hearing her words, a trace of jealousy actually surged out from Mu Ying's heart. Mu Zhuo actually dared to harm his woman for so long, he must teach her a lesson in a few days. However, in that situation, Xue Luoyun didn't have any other choice.
"Does your foot still hurt?" Mu Sheng's voice was low and deep again as he asked with deep concern. His eyes were filled with gentleness.
Xue Ruyun was somewhat unaccustomed to his sudden gentleness. Even though blisters had already started to appear on his feet, he quickly waved his hands. "Mm, no pain, no pain. It's fine, I can walk." As he spoke, he limped for a few steps.
"Let's go up." Mu Ying suddenly ordered.
"What?" For a moment, Xue Luoyun didn't understand what she meant.
