Yun Xihe didn't plan to stay overnight in Yun Mansion. There were too many people staring at her, so it was better to be more comfortable in the Princess Mansion.

Besides, she wanted to ask Qin Xuanling quickly what he was doing to recruit a bride and what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

After dinner, under Yun Wangshu's eager gaze, Yun Xihe stood up and said goodbye.

"Xihe, you must visit me often."

"Okay, listen to your grandmother and father. Don't always think about going out to play."

After listening to a few words of advice from her grandmother and father, she took the carriage and left.

For some reason, when she left, the main road in and out of Shui'an Lane was still in good condition, but when she came back, she was surrounded from a distance. They said that a big hole had collapsed on the road, so the groom had to drive.

The carriage turned a corner and walked toward the nearest side door.

The side door here is next to a dense bamboo forest. It is very quiet but rarely visited by people. Therefore, the road is also very narrow. Yun Xihe simply got off the carriage and walked a few steps.

The air was still sultry in the summer evening, and only the bamboo forest here was cool. However, the slowly floating air was mixed with an unnoticeable smell of blood. Yun Xihe moved his brows and stood alert.

Xiaotang who was on the side quickly walked forward and saw a real person lying in the grass next to the bamboo forest.

Under the thin dim light, this person was dressed in blue clothes, with a submerged arrow stuck in his shoulder. He was curled up on the ground and unconscious. There were large blood stains on the ground. This was where the smell of blood in the air came from.

Xiaotang kicked the man a few times, and a cry escaped from the man's mouth.

Not even dead yet.

Taking a closer look, there were obvious signs of fighting in the forest. Yun Xihe's expression became serious. It was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so he turned around and walked back.

But as soon as he moved a few steps, the man in green lying on the ground suddenly struggled to speak and whispered, "Help..."

Yun Xihe paused in his steps. She was not a holy lady who would help anyone she met, but she continued to walk back.

After walking a few more steps, a faint voice came from behind, "Sister, sister, save me..."

Sister? Widow?

Apart from Tuoba Kui, there is no one else but Tuoba Kui who can call himself this way!

But Yun Xihe's first reaction was: How could it be such a coincidence?

——

Actually it's not a coincidence at all.

All this was originally arranged by Tuoba Kui.

When he heard the news that the Dashun royal family was looking for a bride for Yun Xihe, he had already started planning.

As Yun Xihe expected, his trip was a smooth one, not for any alliance.

How could the young emperor who fought bloody battles give up his kingdom to others so easily? He just used it as bait and shield to get to Dashun smoothly.

Yun Xihe could think of a way to fake an assassination to prevent him from attacking Qin Xi.

Naturally, Tuoba Kui could think of the same method, using the matter of pretending to be assassinated to cause some trouble for Qin Cang, delay the progress of the alliance, and stay in Dashun for more time.

But Yun Xihe didn't know about this and subconsciously thought that Tuoba Kui was injured like this because Qin Xuanling's secret guards misunderstood and took too heavy a blow.

She stopped and told Xiaotang, "Hel the person in."

An almost undetectable smile flashed across Tuoba Kui's eyes, and he soon fell into coma again, allowing the servants of the Princess's Mansion to carry him in.

Now that night is falling, many tiny stars are quietly hanging in the sky, and there is also a full moon, but it is blocked by the bamboo forest, making the light very dim.

Yun Xihe bent down, reached out and picked up the bloodstained dragon-patterned jade pendant from the grass, and threw it to Xiaoli, "Clean it and return it to him later."

It seems that this jade pendant must be extremely important to him, so once he sent it back, he carried it with him all the time.

There was a pharmacy in her princess palace. She took some medicinal powder to heal wounds and stop bleeding. She took the medicine box and went to treat Tuoba Kui, who had picked him up because of the word "sister".

There were many large and small wounds on his body, but the most obvious one was the one that penetrated his shoulder.

She first treated the minor wounds, then used the dagger in her hand to cut off the arrow tail remaining outside his body, and then pulled her shoulder to pull out the arrow that had penetrated his shoulder.

Tuoba Kui immediately grunted in pain, and his blood flowed profusely. No matter how much he tried to pretend to be unconscious, he could no longer pretend to be unconscious.

Yun Xihe calmly sprinkled the wound with anti-hemostatic powder. When the blood stopped gushing out, he wiped it clean, applied medicine to him, and wrapped a bandage.

Tuoba Kui kept looking at her longingly. Her expression was serious and focused, her movements were gentle and crisp, and those cold phoenix eyes, with an outline that was extremely familiar to him, were exactly what he saw in the mirror every day.

That pair.

Yun Xihe didn't look at him, but suddenly said, "Your Majesty Tuoba, is it a little rude to keep looking at me like this?"

Tuoba Kui smiled and leaned his head on the pillow. Although he was injured and embarrassed, his modest and gentle appearance could not hide his domineering demeanor.

"I'm just involuntarily attracted to Princess Xihe. It's really hard to look away from those phoenix eyes."

Yun Xihe paused in his movements, raised his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile, "What do you want to say, Your Majesty?"

Tuoba Kui stared at her unblinkingly and said with great piety, "Princess Xihe, I feel that I feel like old friends with you at first sight and want to take you back to Xiliang. Are you willing?"

Yun Xihe raised the corners of his lips, smiled playfully and shook his head, "I don't want to."

Tuoba Kui wondered, "Why, you don't know, Xiliang is a vast land with abundant resources, and it is also very prosperous and prosperous. If you don't want Dashun, it's always so well-behaved. It's really boring..."

"Your Majesty!" Yun Xihe interrupted him. She had quickly treated all the wounds on his body. "This is not far from Honglu Temple. Your Majesty, rest for a while and then leave by yourself."

After saying that, he picked up the small medicine box and prepared to turn around and go out.

Tuoba Kui looked like he couldn't move, "I can't leave."

Yun Xihe paused, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, just wait. I will send someone to Honglu Temple to deliver the message, and someone will come to greet you."

Tuoba Kui looked at her, reluctant to see her leave.

"Princess Xihe, I am so seriously injured, why don't you stop caring about me after bandaging it? But that day, when Yun Wangshu fell into the lake, you were clearly not so perfunctory and indifferent."

He had a rather hurt tone, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Yun Xihe turned around with a frown, originally wanting to make a sarcastic comment. But at a glance, he saw pure grievance in his eyes, but he explained in a strange way,

"Because the Yun family has a relationship with me, and Wangshu is the daughter of the Yun family. What's more, she calls me sister. But Your Majesty and I have only met each other."

Tuoba Kui was obviously a little angry, "The Yun family is just a nurturing grace. You are not doing well here in Dashun. You don't even have anyone to take care of your marriage... Have you never thought of checking it out?"

Do you want to check your own life experience?"

Yun Xihe was very puzzled and felt more and more that this person was unreasonable.

Originally, because he saved Wangshu, I was a little grateful to him; and because he wanted to form an alliance with Dashun, I was a little more polite and respectful to him.

But speaking of it, I don't have a deep friendship with him.

She sneered, "If I can't find out, what does this have to do with Your Majesty? Does His Majesty's attitude mean that he wants to tell me that my true identity is the princess of Xiliang... His Majesty's statement

Are you here just to recognize your kin with me?"
