Quick Wear: She Whose Negative System Is Broken

A damp warmth came from her shoulder. Yu Tang smiled as he held her quietly, waiting for her to calm down.

Originally the fog was thick and the dew was heavy, and my whole body was cold, but now that we are hugging each other, we feel much warmer.

The two were hugging each other quietly when Yu Tang suddenly heard the sound of branches breaking coming from the southeast.

She quickly pulled Ji Qiyu down, covered her mouth and pointed in the southeast direction.

Yu Tang pushed aside the dense grass in front of him to create a small gap. Through the gap, she saw a man dressed in black, with his face covered and holding a short blade. He was looking around vigilantly and walking towards their hiding place.

She looked around, picked up a stone, and threw it in the other direction when he turned his head.

The thief just stopped and glanced in the direction of the sound, then looked down and walked towards them again.

What was he looking down at? Yu Tang suddenly realized that when they ran away, they did not clear the traces left behind.

Oops!

"Let's go." While there was still a long distance between the two groups, Yu Tang made a quick decision and pulled Ji Qiyu up and ran.

The thief in black saw them and chased after them relentlessly, holding a short blade across his chest.

The two men's hands and feet were so sore and they were exhausted. Seeing that Ji Qiyu, who was lagging behind, was about to be caught by the thief, Yu Tang pulled her forward with force, but his shoulder hit the thief's knife.

The pain of the blade entering her flesh almost made Yu Tang faint. She tried desperately to stay awake and rolled on the ground to avoid the thief's next swing of the short blade.

Ji Qiyu rushed over and tried to knock the thief down, but ignored the difference in strength between men and women.

The thief easily blocked her charge and restrained her hands and feet.

He seemed a little hesitant when facing Ji Qiyu. Yu Tang took advantage of his inattention and quietly took out the dagger that he had not had time to return to Ji Qiyu from his arms. His hands trembled slightly and he almost couldn't hold the handle.

She supported herself on the ground and quietly climbed up. Ji Qiyu noticed her movements. Although he was very scared, he still tacitly used all his strength to knock his head against the thief's head.

The sudden hit to the vital parts made the thief unable to react in time, and he let go of Ji Qiyu in a dizzy state.

He took a few steps back, but before he could regain consciousness, Yu Tang had already stabbed the blade into his heart from behind. He gritted his teeth, gripped the handle of the knife hard, and rotated it about ninety degrees.

The thief fell to the ground with a bang, and Yu Tang also lost all his strength. With trembling hands and feet, he slowly crawled to Ji Qiyu's side.

Ji Qiyu fell to the ground, covering his forehead with his hands and groaning in pain.

Yu Tang stroked her hair, took two deep breaths, stood up tremblingly, endured the pain from the wound on his shoulder, and dragged Ji Qiyu to the bottom of the slope not far away.

He walked over to the dead thief and pulled out the dagger.

She then used the thief's clothes to wipe the blood off the blade, picked up a branch, and carefully swept away all traces of her and Ji Qiyu.

The blow with his head just now was very powerful. Although Ji Qiyu seemed to be still conscious at this time, he did not respond to Tang's call.

Her worry about Ji Qiyu outweighed her fear of killing someone for the first time.

Vomiting, trembling, she did not have any of the reactions that ordinary people might have after killing someone. She only felt the joy of surviving the disaster and the fear after that.

As soon as she relaxed, she felt the fatigue coming up.

The wound stung slightly, and the scarlet blood almost soaked the blue riding clothes on the upper body.

Ji Qiyu lay unconscious with her head resting on her legs. Yu Tang hugged her tightly and huddled under the hidden earth slope, his head becoming increasingly dizzy.

Yu Tang tried her best to stay awake, but ultimately she could not resist the invasion of darkness. Before she passed out, she seemed to hear footsteps approaching from afar.

It was late at night when Yu Tang woke up. The room was pitch black, and the only source of light was the bright moon outside the window.

She was a little panicked, and her heart was beating like thunder in the quiet night.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she smelled the familiar fragrance. This was her room.

Her eyes swept to the end of the bed and there seemed to be a small black shadow lying there, and her heart began to rise again.

"Who's there?"

The voice was hoarse and unpleasant. Yu Tang stared at the black shadow, his hands unconsciously groping for something handy on the bed.

The dark shadow moved and raised her head, and a little light outlined her figure.

"My lord, are you awake?" It was her personal maid, Si Ji. The girl's sleepy voice was filled with joy.

"Where's the princess?"

Si Ji walked over to the table, lit a few candles, and brought over a small cup of herbal tea.

"The princess is fine. She is recovering in the palace. The tea is cold. Please moisten your throat first. I will ask someone to boil some water."

Yu Tang nodded and drank from the porcelain cup in small sips.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"Three days." There were tears in Si Ji's eyes, and it was unclear whether it was due to sleepiness or worry.

"I and Yatani have been watching you day and night, and you have a high fever. The doctor said that if the fever doesn't go down tonight, it will be dangerous."

"Where's Xiaodu?"

"That day you were carried back covered in blood. The young master cried for a long time when he saw you and was very worried. I heard that you were restless during the night and often woke up. Sisters Axi and Azi were watching over you all the time."

"Yes." Yu Tang nodded, "Let someone tell Ah Xi."

"Okay, now that the adult's fever has subsided and he's awake, they can rest assured."

As Si Ji spoke, his voice became choked with sobs.

Yu Tang touched her head with amusement. She had changed her clothes, but she felt a little sticky after lying down for three days. Her stomach was empty and she was so hungry that it kept growling.

Si Ji finally responded after hearing the voice, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and stood up from the bed, "I'll ask the kitchen to cook you something to eat."

"By the way, boil some water. I want to take a bath."

"Okay." Si Ji responded and rushed out of the room like a gust of wind.

The quiet yard at night gradually became lively because of her waking up. After an hour of noise, it returned to silence again.

Early the next morning, Yu Tang vaguely heard Xiaodu's voice in his dream, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep again.

It was almost noon when she woke up again. She turned her head and saw Fang Du lying silently on the side of the bed, staring at her obediently with his big eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Tang reached out and touched Fang Du's hair.

"How can mom sleep for so long?" Fang Du pouted, looking aggrieved and lovable.

"Mom is awake now."

Looking at the little person in front of him with a smile, Yu Tang supported his upper body with the hand on his uninjured side and said pitifully, "Mom is hungry. Xiao Zao'er, come eat with me."

The two of them had lunch happily. Since they had some time, Yu Tang, relying on her little knowledge, took the opportunity to give Fang Du some enlightenment.

She is not worried about misleading students, because there is still a system to correct errors.

Her handwriting is not good either, so it's a good opportunity for the mother and daughter to practice calligraphy together.

"Mother, can you please give Xiao Zaoer a new name, with your surname, Yu Anhe?"

"Come, write according to mother's handwriting..."

Being able to stay with his mother all day long, Fang Du felt happy even though he had to practice the boring and repetitive strokes of the character.

The wound on the shoulder was not very serious, and with careful care, the wound did not fester and it healed in about half a month.

These days, Yu Tang has been worried about Ji Qiyu, but she has not been able to get any news. The imperial palace is strictly guarded, so she can only worry.

In this capital city, the only person she can rely on is Ji Qiyu.

She called Cheng Chang over and asked the shop assistants to pay attention to the words of the ladies and find out if there is any news about Princess Hexi.

"Also..." She hesitated, "Go to the Zhehualou counter to see if there is any letter from Li Qing'er."
