After making a decision, we divided our troops into three groups.
One group of people quietly took Pei Kun away, while the other group pretended to find no one and returned to the camp.
At the end of the road, Ye Fuxun was held by Ji Yannuo.
"Come with me."
Ye Fuxun glanced at the people leaving in confusion, and pulled Ji Yannuo's hand: "Your Highness, aren't we going back to the camp? Where are we going?"
Ji Yannuo said nothing and pulled her towards the forest.
Because the mountain road was difficult to navigate, Ji Yannuo simply held Ye Fuxun in his arms and walked up for a while before entering a cave.
What does Demon Ji want to do? Ye Fuxun had a question mark on his face.
Ji Yannuo put her down, raised the fire skillfully, and then put a bundle in her hand: "Change out of your soaked clothes first to avoid catching a cold."
Ye Fuxun immediately concluded.
She was alone in this cave with the great demon Ji, a man and a woman, and then she changed her clothes?
Is this good?
Although the wet clothes on her body made her feel very uncomfortable, she couldn't change in this cave, right?
"Actually, I can change my concubine back to the camp." Ye Fuxun discussed it in a good-tempered manner.
Ji Yannuo's face turned cold: "I'm waiting outside."
"Then you can't look back or peek." Ye Fuxun timidly said to Ji Yannuo's back.
Ji Yannuo took a deep breath: "One stick of incense."
All right.
Ye Fuxun had no choice but to suppress his nervousness and change his clothes quickly.
Fortunately, Demon Ji kept his promise and did not peek. After changing his clothes, Ye Fuxun put his heart back in his stomach and walked out.
As soon as she came out of the cave, she was pulled into the arms of Demon Ji. He lowered his head and looked at her: "What were Ah Xun worried about just now?"
"No, no..." Ye Fuxun muttered.
Ji Yannuo suddenly approached her ear: "Are you worried that I will treat you here..."
"No, it's nothing!" Ye Fuxun interrupted him quickly, not daring to listen anymore, "His Highness is aboveboard and glorious, so how could he do such a thing as bullying a little girl, right?"
Ji Yannuo glanced at her and said with a smile: "One day, I will let you know whether I will bully little girls."
In the camp, the people from the Zhao State Mission learned that Ji Yannuo and others had failed to find him.
Master Gu stroked his beard and thought for a long time: "Pei Kun must be dead."
He finally had an explanation to the left prime minister.
However, Princess Hele was the most beloved daughter of the Zuo Prime Minister after all. To calm down the Zuo Prime Minister's overwhelming anger, the death of just one Pei Kun was not enough.
He summoned his subordinates: "As soon as possible, Princess Hele kidnapped the white-faced scholar while hunting, and spread the news back to the capital that he was discovered by the Yan people in the cave. This matter must be spread widely."
The more the Hele Princess scandal spreads, the more beneficial it will be to him.
"I think the State of Yan will definitely have objections to Princess Hele's indiscretion," he pondered for a moment, "exaggerating the dissatisfaction of the State of Yan and sending all the news back to the capital."
As a result, Prime Minister Zuo was very annoyed with Princess Hele, and he might even want to strangle this unfilial daughter to death himself.
In this way, the left prime minister will not vent all his anger on him.
Master Gu cleared his mind and finally relaxed a little.
After the incident involving Princess Hele came to an end, the hunting party ended hastily, and the troops returned to the capital one after another early the next morning.
Ye Fuxun and others returned to the Prince's Mansion with a heavy heart.
After returning to Beijing, Ah Qiu would come to the Prince's Mansion to look for her every morning.
Ming Li was looking for her, but actually he was going to Ji Yannuo's place to inquire about Pei Kun's situation.
Day one.
"Brother A Kun hasn't woken up yet, but Ji Yannuo said that the imperial doctor said he can still be saved. Brother A Kun's internal organs have been severely impacted, and the muscles and veins in his body have been severed. It will take some time to get through the dangerous period."
Ah Qiu seemed strong, but the tears rolling back and forth in his eyes made Ye Fuxun feel increasingly uncomfortable.
The third day.
"It's been three days since I came back. Although brother A Kun still hasn't woken up," Ah Qiu squeezed Ye Fulun's hand, trying to draw strength from it, "but his condition has not worsened. He will get better, right?
?”
"He will be fine." Ye Fuxun held Ah Qiu in his arms to comfort him.
Day five.
"Axun, today is already the fifth day, and brother Akun hasn't woken up yet."
Ah Qiu bit his lip, worry rising in his eyes, "He must be in too much pain, so he can't wake up. But Ji Yannuo said that brother A Kun can be fed medicine today."
"That proves that he is getting better," Ye Fuxun comforted, "He will get better."
The seventh day.
…
Day nine.
Almost every day Ah Qiu would repeat similar words.
It has been ten days since Pei Kun was rescued and returned to the capital, and he has not woken up.
Finally, before noon on the eleventh day, Ah Qiu came to her, trembling with excitement: "Ah Xun, Ji Yannuo said that brother A Kun has woken up! He can live, he is really alive!
"
Ah Qiu hugged Ye Fuxun and cried for a long time that day, and said many things.
It wasn't until he had lunch and took a short rest in Yunjin Pavilion that he left the Prince's Mansion happily.
Ye Fuxun's heart was greatly relieved.
Eleven days after returning to the capital, she has not seen Ji Yannuo again.
I just heard her tell Ji Yannuo's words about Pei Kun from Ah Qiu's mouth every day.
After Ah Qiu left that day, Xu An hurried to Yunjin Pavilion: "Liangdi, can you go to the study room in the front yard?"
Ye Fuxun was stunned: "Eunuch Xu, is it His Highness who sent me here?"
Xu An looked hesitant, and whispered: "Liangdi, His Highness did not ask the servant to come here, but Your Highness is not very good... Please also ask Liangdi to go to the study and have a look."
Is Pei Kun's condition bad?
Ye Fuxun frowned. When Ah Qiu came to see her in the morning, it was clear that Pei Kun had woken up.
Why did Ji Yannuo become abnormal?
Could it be that Pei Kun didn't wake up at all and Ji Yannuo lied to her to comfort Ah Qiu?
Ye Fuxun wanted to ask more questions, but Xu An shook his head: "It's really not convenient for me to speak frankly. Please forgive me, Liangdi."
So, Ye Fuxun entered the study alone with questions on his mind.
Ji Yannuo was not sitting behind the desk in the study as usual.
Ye Fuxun looked around in surprise and found that he was sitting by the window on one side, his whole body hidden in the shadows and looking out the window, his figure looking desolate and lonely.
What happened?
Ye Fuxun picked up the soft pedestal he usually sat on, walked to Ji Yannuo and sat down, carefully disturbing him: "Your Highness, I'm here."
Ji Yannuo turned his head, without hiding the emotion in his eyes, and only responded with a faint expression.
Ye Fuxun felt tense for no reason: "Your Highness, is Pei Kun's condition very bad?"
"Um."
"But... didn't Ah Qiu say he woke up just this morning?" Ye Fuxun leaned forward slightly, fearing that he couldn't hear Ji Yannuo's reply.
