Chapter Fifty-Four: Survival After the Catastrophe
Yu Shuyue woke up from bouts of headaches. When she woke up, she found herself lying by the river, feeling cold. She shrank and quickly realized that she had survived a catastrophe.
What about the prince?
Yu Shuyue ignored the pain in her body and stood up, holding her head that was not quite awake, and started looking for the prince.
Fortunately, the prince was lying not far from her, and she staggered towards him.
Looking at the prince's pale, deathly face, Yu Shuyue's heart tightened, and she quickly knelt on the ground and put her hand under his nose to see if he was still breathing.
After feeling the faint breath, she took a long breath.
Fortunately, fortunately, no one died.
Although he is still breathing, Yu Shuyue has not forgotten that she saw his shoulder with black blood before she became unconscious.
She found that the arrow on his shoulder had been broken, but the arrow was still stuck in his shoulder. In this environment, she did not dare to help him pull it out, so she could only carefully set up his body and prepare to find a place.
Clean place.
After finding a cave, she leaned Qi Xiuyao's body against the stone wall of the cave, then went outside to find some hay and branches to light a fire.
It's still early spring, and it's still warm at noon, but as the sky gets darker, the temperature gets cooler and cooler.
If she didn't light a fire quickly to keep warm, she was afraid that they wouldn't be able to wait until someone came to find them.
Yu Shuyue held on even though she was feeling unwell. She had been busy since she woke up. She even forgot that she was barefoot without wearing shoes, so she accidentally pricked her skin with a sharp stone.
.
Fortunately, she was already busy. She moved to the prince's side and applied the herbs she had just found to the edge of his wound. She did not dare to pull out the arrow on his arm easily, but she watched his wound gradually turn over after being soaked in water.
Bai Qi also showed signs of pus, and she couldn't help but worry.
She doesn't know medical skills and doesn't know what kind of poison is on the arrow. However, her arm was also scratched by the arrow, but she is not very conscious and is accompanied by a headache and nausea. It seems that it is not a poison that can kill people immediately. I hope
It can last longer.
Yu Shuyue looked at the darkening sky outside, praying that her brother and the others would be the first to find the killer.
"Cough cough cough——"
"Your Highness, you are awake."
Hearing Qi Xiuyao's cough, she turned around and saw that he had opened his eyes, and she was pleasantly surprised.
"Ah Yue, are you okay?" The first thing Qi Xiuyao did when he woke up was to make sure she was safe.
When Qi Xiuyao fell from the cliff, he tried his best to use some internal strength, which allowed their bodies to be cushioned.
Otherwise, if they fell from such a high place, even if there was a river below, they would not be as intact as they are now.
"I'm fine, please be careful."
Seeing that he was about to move, Yu Shuyue quickly stopped him. He was now covered with injuries and there were arrows on his arms, so it was best not to move as much as possible.
"Ayue, help me prepare some clean water."
Yu Shuyue thought he wanted to drink water, so she turned around to pick up the clean water she had put aside. When she turned around, she saw his face was calm and she pulled out the arrow from his arm without blinking.
Yu Shuyue's eyes widened. She didn't expect the prince to pull it out so directly.
"Why did you pull it out like this? There is no doctor here. I don't know when my brother and the others will come here. You -"
Yu Shuyue was really in a bad mood. She didn't care about the emperor or his ministers at the moment, her tone was a little anxious, and she was even blaming him.
Seeing this, Qi Xiuyao felt very relieved. With a smile on his pale face, he laughed softly: "It doesn't matter, hasn't Ah Yue already found some herbs for me? That's enough. Besides, the arrows are poisonous.
It needs to be dealt with first.”
Yu Shuyue also knew that it would be faster to pull out the arrow, but he just pulled it out without saying a word, which really scared her.
Yu Shuyue looked at his tired smile. Although his face was calm when he drew the arrow just now, his forehead was already covered with dense sweat.
She stopped talking, took a clean handkerchief and dipped it in some water to help him briefly treat the wound. She looked at his arm bleeding with black blood, and finally covered it with her lips to help him suck out the poison.
.
The moment her lips touched her, Qi Xiuyao's body trembled, his eyes stared deeply at the girl in front of him who was frowning and calmly detoxifying himself, and the hands on his thighs were clenched tightly.
Qi Xiuyao lowered his head slightly and looked at her tenderly throughout the whole process. At this time, he was somewhat grateful for everything he encountered today.
Because of this, Ah Yue finally had no barriers to him as she did two months ago, and no longer had an attitude of rejection. This was an unexpected gain.
However, the smile on Qi Xiuyao's face did not last long because his eyes glanced at Yu Shuyue's bare feet.
"Ayue, you are injured."
His expression suddenly changed, and he stretched out his hand to grab her ankle, regardless of the wound, to check her wound.
"Hey, Your Highness, I'm fine. Be careful of your wounds."
Yu Shuyue was caught off guard by his move, and her body almost fell to the side. She wanted to take her feet back, but he held them firmly in his hands.
She just used herbal medicine to apply it on his wound, and pulled off a piece of cloth from his clothes to bandage it. When he moved so violently, she was afraid that his wound would open again.
When Qi Xiuyao saw the finger-long wound on the sole of her foot clearly, his entire face was as cold as the twelfth lunar month in winter, and his dark eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"It's okay, I've just taken care of it."
Sensing something was wrong with his expression, she shrank her feet.
"It was me who put Ah Yue in danger. This is the last time."
Realizing that her condition frightened her, Qi Xiuyao carefully placed her cold feet closer to the fire, then stared at her seriously and said solemnly.
"Are those killers coming for you?"
After Yu Shuyue finished speaking, she realized that she had simply asked a stupid question.
It was so obvious that almost half of the killers at that time were targeting her and Qi Xiuyao, and it was obvious that they were targeting him.
Otherwise, how could she, the daughter of a general, attract so many assassins to assassinate her.
"Um."
Qi Xiuyao didn't say much, he already knew what he was doing.
It's okay to come after him, but it shouldn't be at that time, and Ah Yue shouldn't be hurt.
Since they failed to let him die today, they should bear his anger and pay the price for today. This chapter has been completed!
