The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

Chapter 37 Awakening in the Cave

Li Wenzhi was touched when he heard this. He knew that his sister was a strong woman, but deep inside she was hiding endless fragility and anxiety. He held her hand tightly and comforted her gently: "Don't be afraid, sister. I am here with you. No matter what happens, I will stand by you. Along the way, we will definitely overcome all difficulties together."

Li Yuan felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She knew that Li Wenzhi was a brother worth relying on. His determination and courage made her feel extremely relieved. She hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to remember this moment forever in her heart...

The pain in her bones surged like a tide, and Li Yuan struggled in the abyss of coma, as if she was tightly bound by invisible ropes and unable to escape. When she opened her eyes again, it was dark all around, with only a faint firelight swaying in the depths of the cave, reflecting a familiar and cold face - Xuan Youyan.

"You're awake." Hyun Woo-ryeon's voice was deep and powerful, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by indifference. He was using a clean piece of cloth to treat her wound, his technique was skillful and firm.

Li Yuan frowned, trying to recall what happened before. She only remembered that Loukong granary was attacked, and in the chaos, she was pushed down and then lost consciousness. Now, she felt a sharp pain in her right shoulder, obviously from the arrow wound.

"Where is this? Why am I here?" Li Yuan's voice was a little weak, but she tried to stay awake and figure out her situation.

"This is a hidden cave. When I found you, you were already unconscious." Xuan Youyan answered briefly. His fingers gently touched her wound, trying to confirm whether the arrow poison had been completely removed. "Your injuries are very serious. You need to rest well."

Li Yuan gritted her teeth and endured the pain of pulling out the arrow. The arrow was slowly pulled out, and blood gushed out, staining the cloth in Xuan Youyan's hand red. He quickly bandaged her wound, his movements were swift and powerful.

"Kui Lu...how is he?" Li Yuan suddenly remembered the soldier who died heroically in the granary to protect her, and her voice trembled slightly.

Xuan Youyan's eyes became deep. He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "He...didn't make it."

Li Yuan's heart sank, she closed her eyes, tears silently falling. Kui Lu was a loyal soldier, his death made her feel extremely sad and guilty.

"Was the granary attacked because of a traitor?" Li Yuan endured the pain and tried to get more information from Hyun Woo-ryeon.

Xuan Youyan nodded, his eyes sharpened: "I suspect so. Otherwise, the enemy would not be able to find the location of the granary so easily."

Li Yuan was silent for a moment, her heart filled with doubts and uneasiness. Traitor? What on earth was going on? She recalled the attack on the granary, every detail came to her mind, but she could not find any clues.

"Why did you save me?" Li Yuan suddenly asked, her eyes looking directly at Hyun Woo-ryeon, trying to find the answer from his eyes.

Xuan Youyan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Yuan to ask him this question so directly. He looked at her with a complex and deep look in his eyes: "Because... I have my reasons."

His answer made Li Yuan feel even more confused, but she did not continue to ask. She knew that Xuan Youyan was a mysterious person and his mind was elusive. She decided to change the subject: "I want to go back to Luoyang, Li Jimian is still there, and I am worried about his safety."

Xuan Youlian frowned slightly when he heard this: "You are seriously injured now, it is not suitable for you to travel long distances."

"I have to go back." Li Yuan's tone was firm and resolute, "I can't let Li Jimian face danger alone."

Xuan Youyan looked at Li Yuan, her eyes were full of determination and courage. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Okay, I'll take you back."

Li Yuan was touched. She knew that Hyun Woo-ryeon was not someone who would change his mind easily. She looked at him and said softly, "Thank you."

Outside the cave, the night was as dark as ink, and the stars were twinkling. Xuan Youyan helped Li Yuan out of the cave, and their figures seemed particularly lonely and determined in the night. They set out on the road back to Luoyang, each carrying different thoughts and secrets in their hearts.

Along the way, although Li Yuan was seriously injured, her will was extremely firm. She remained vigilant at all times, fearing that she would encounter any danger again. And Xuan Youyan silently guarded her side, his eyes full of complex emotions. He sometimes looked at Li Yuan, and sometimes looked into the distance, as if thinking about something important.

The night breeze was blowing gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Li Yuan tightened her clothes, her eyes looking into the distance, her heart filled with longing and worry for Li Jimian. She didn't know if he was well now, and whether he was also missing her.

"Hyun Woo-ryeon, who do you think was responsible for the attack on the granary this time?" Li Yuan suddenly asked. Although her voice was weak, it was full of determination.
