Nian Qiao watched Fang Dingrong treat Ji Xuerong's wound without blinking for a moment.

The carrion on the wound needed to be dug out, and he felt pain when he looked at it, so he quietly grasped Ji Xuerong's hand, held Ji Xuerong in his arms and wiped the sweat from Ji Xuerong's forehead.

"This is still within the boundary of Yincheng, we can stay here for at most two days." Fang Dingrong said.

The wound on Ji Xuerong's other arm was also treated, and the blood turned a normal red color. Fang Dingrong bandaged the wound for Ji Xuerong, and then got up.

"Your Highness is having a fever now. I'll go to the mountain to find any herbs that can be used. By the way, I'll take a look at the surrounding situation. You stay here and guard." Fang Dingrong told him.

Nianqiao nodded, he will take good care of Ji Xuerong.

He didn't dare to move, worried that the wound would ooze blood again.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Ji Xuerong's forehead, Nianqiao wiped Ji Xuerong with a handkerchief, there was nothing in this cave, he needed water, and Fang Dingrong had to go far away to get it.

His forehead was still hot, Nianqiao touched Ji Xuerong's forehead, his hand was still held by Ji Xuerong, and there were fingerprints on it.

"Your Highness is not in pain anymore, just blow on it, and they all flew away." Nian Qiao looked at Ji Xuerong's side face, he sat for an hour maintaining his sitting position, and then moved a little, Ji Xuerong woke up.

Nianqiao's buttocks were about to sit stiff, he noticed that Ji Xuerong's eyelashes moved, and then Ji Xuerong opened his eyes.

"Your Highness?" Nianqiao called softly.

Ji Xuerong's eyes remained motionless, she paused for a while, and then said, "Nianqiao?"

"Your servant is here." Nian Qiao quickly grabbed Ji Xuerong's other hand, he supported Ji Xuerong against the wall, and said, "Your Highness, your wound has just been healed, so don't move around."

"Be careful of the wound opening," Nian Qiao said.

Ji Xuerong asked, "Where did Fang Dingrong go?"

Nianqiao replied: "He went out to help His Highness find herbs. His Highness is still having a fever. We didn't bring any antipyretic herbs."

He reached out and touched Ji Xuerong's forehead, feeling a little worried, Ji Xuerong's lips were pale, and his pupils were like a pool of snow in the deep darkness.

His hand was held by Ji Xuerong, and Ji Xuerong led him, and the temperature passed along.

On Nianqiao Road, they heard what happened. Ji Lingyu didn't know what method he used to unite with Yeluqi. Ji Xuerong must have blamed himself for the death of so many soldiers.

He was thinking like this, holding Ji Xuerong's dry reassurance, "Your Highness, don't be sad, we are fine now, His Highness Seven has done bad things, and will definitely be punished."

"Your Highness is fine. I was always worried about Your Highness on the way." Nian Qiao noticed that Ji Xuerong's mouth was dry, so he brought a drink of water from the side and put it on Ji Xuerong's lips with a leaf.

"Your Highness, drink some water." Nian Qiao said.

He put it to Ji Xuerong's lips, Ji Xuerong didn't respond for a while, he felt a little strange.

Ji Xuerong said "Yes", one hand was injured and now she can't lift it up, and the other hand was still holding Nianqiao.

He didn't want to let go of Nianqiao, so he used his injured hand to touch the water.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that you are not allowed to move around, you don't want to touch the wound."

Nian Qiao was a little unhappy, he held Ji Xuerong down and said, "Let me feed your Highness."

He held the leaves and put them carefully to Ji Xuerong's lips, and Ji Xuerong drank the water with his hand.

"Nianqiao...do you blame Gu?" Ji Xuerong asked with lowered eyes, he could only vaguely see that Nianqiao was looking at him seriously with his pigtails, and soon he was plunged into darkness.

Nianqiao felt a little strange, he glanced at Ji Xuerong, he hadn't finished drinking the water in the leaves, and then kissed Ji Xuerong's lips, "Your Highness, do you still want to drink water?"

Ji Xuerong stopped drinking, so he put the water aside, and then answered Ji Xuerong's question.

"Why should I blame His Highness? This matter has nothing to do with His Highness. His Highness almost died. Don't think about it, Your Highness."

Nianqiao was a little angry, only Ji Xuerong could blame herself. Looking at Ji Lingyu again, Ji Lingyu killed so many people, and she is still doing well now, and even reversed the truth and ordered them to be arrested.

"His Highness is fine now, General Xiao and the others are temporarily trapped, and we will definitely find a way later."

Nianqiao coaxed Ji Xuerong, he took out meatloaf from his little bun, broke it into small pieces, and fed it to Ji Xuerong's lips.

"Your Highness, eat something. This is the meatloaf Fang Dingrong bought. It's not delicious, but it can fill your stomach."

Nian Qiao took a bite himself first, but it was still hard. He fed it to Ji Xuerong's lips, and his fingers touched a piece of dry warmth.

Ji Xuerong took a sip, and when she lowered her head, she bit Nianqiao's fingertip.

Before the food in his mouth was finished, Nianqiao fed him again, stuffing food into his mouth non-stop.

"Okay, read the bridge." Ji Xuerong said.

Nianqiao then withdrew his hand, and now that Ji Xuerong was injured and could only rely on him, this feeling was not bad, he glanced at Ji Xuerong several times, and leaned forward to kiss Ji Xuerong on the mouth.

"Your Highness, I will take care of you in the future."

Although he is clumsy, he will not take trouble.

"If you need anything, just tell me." Nian Qiao said.

Ji Xuerong swallowed the food, and his soft breath fell on his lips. He let out a "huh" and asked, "Did you receive any news on the way?"

As expected of Ji Xuerong, she restrained her emotions so quickly, and the fragility that was revealed just now seemed to be just a flash.

"Your Highness is referring to the Seventh Highness? He is now turning the truth around in the city, saying that he saved the slaughtered people. He also sent people to arrest us."

Nian Qiao asked: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"Do you want to go back to the capital first?"

Ji Xuerong shook his head, "Ji Lingyu should return to the capital soon, if Gu's guess is correct... Maybe he will say that Gu is dead."

"He is now telling outsiders that His Highness has been taken away." Nianqiao has been paying attention to Ji Xuerong's wounds, and seeing that Ji Xuerong is more energetic than before, he is a little relieved.

There was movement outside, Fang Dingrong picked herbs and came in, and brought back steaming rice porridge.

Nianqiao didn't know how to decoct medicine, so he took rice porridge and fed it to Ji Xuerong first.

"Brother Prince, you need to eat more. Fang Dingrong said that you may not have eaten for a few days."

He blew on the rice porridge and let it cool before bringing it to Ji Xuerong's lips.

The rice porridge smelled so good, he watched it longingly, and Ji Xuerong handed the spoon to his lips, "Gu just ate it, Nianqiao can just drink it himself."

Nianqiao has been eating dry food and meatloaf for the past few days, with birds fading out of his mouth, but of course he can't drink now.

"Your Highness, you drink first, if you don't drink, I will be angry."

Ji Xuerong had to be fed another half bowl of porridge. After Fang Dingrong cooked the medicine, he was fed the medicine again.

After taking the medicine, Ji Xuerong still had a fever that night.

Nianqiao has been watching by the side, he touched Ji Xuerong's forehead, the temperature was hotter than before.

He was anxious at the side, and pulled Fang Dingrong to let Fang Dingrong come over to see, "Fang Dingrong, what should we do now, should we take His Highness to see the doctor?"

He wetted the handkerchief with cold water and put it on Ji Xuerong's head, holding Ji Xuerong's fingertips, his brows were full of worry.

"Your Highness has been weak since he was a child. It should be a weakness accumulated from previous injuries. If the fever does not subside tomorrow, we will go to the doctor."

Nianqiao knew that Ji Xuerong had been in poor health since he was a child, and he remembered what Fu Qingming had said before, that Si Tianjian had told Ji Xuerong's fortune, and his fate would be doomed, so he needed to change his fate.

He asked: "The calamity that Fu Qingming said means that His Highness will encounter the present situation?"

Fang Dingrong fried another antipyretic medicine on the side, just in case it was prepared for Ji Xuerong.

He used to be by Fu Qingming's side, so he naturally knew the inside story and why Nianqiao was sent to the palace.

"When His Highness was born, there was a vision in the sky. The national teacher said that His Highness will encounter doom in the future. In addition, His Highness has been in poor health since he was a child. The Holy Majesty decreed that His Highness is not allowed to leave the palace at will."

Fang Dingrong only said so much, and said to Nianqiao: "These are His Highness's private affairs, if you are curious, you can ask His Highness later."

With a cry of Nianqiao, he touched the handkerchief on Ji Xuerong's head, which had become warm for a while.

He hastily put the handkerchief into the cold water to re-soak it again, and then put it back on.

Ji Xuerong's fever lasted until midnight, without any signs of subsiding.

Nian Qiao's eyebrows were wrinkled together, he grabbed Ji Xuerong's hand, rubbed his cheek against Ji Xuerong's finger, his expression was a little downcast.

"Your Highness, you must be fine."

Nianqiao knelt beside Ji Xuerong, he remembered when his mother died.

At that time, his mother was lying on the bed, and he couldn't wake him up. It was not until his mother's body became cold that the husband told him that his mother was gone.

His mother died of illness, because his mother was dumb, so she didn't cry out for pain when she was sick, and she passed away quietly when she was dying.

Ji Xuerong closed her eyes tightly, leaning against the wall like a cold and handsome statue.

The corners of Nianqiao's lips were tensed, he knew he should not disturb Ji Xuerong's rest.

The uneasiness and fear in his heart continued to magnify in the bottom of his heart, converging into a thick and dark spot, as if a hole had been opened, and the stinging cold wind kept coming out of it.

Nianqiao didn't close his eyes all night, and at dawn, he went to call Fang Dingrong, feeling a little anxious.

"Fang Dingrong, His Highness still has a fever, we must find a way to take him to see a doctor."

Now Ji Lingyu is arresting them, and their arrest warrants are everywhere in the city, so they are easily exposed.

There was only one small town at the foot of the mountain, so they set off immediately and found a secluded medical center.

The old man in the medical center felt Ji Xuerong's pulse, and said to them: "He is born with a weak disease, the root of the disease has been buried long ago, and now it is the combination of old disease and new injury."

"Whether we can get through it depends on God's will."

Nianqiao felt a little regretful when he heard the words. If he had known that he would have talked more to Ji Xuerong the night before, he would not let Ji Xuerong fall asleep.

"Your Highness."

Nianqiao softly called out, but Ji Xuerong didn't respond.

He went to touch Ji Xuerong's eyes, looked at Ji Xuerong's pale side face, feeling a little empty in his heart.

Originally, he had nothing, but he finally had Ji Xuerong. Where Ji Xuerong was, he was equivalent to having a Xiaojia.

If Ji Xuerong is gone, what will he do?

"Your Highness, don't sleep anymore, I'm a little scared."

Nianqiao's voice was a little low, he touched Ji Xuerong's eyelids, then touched Ji Xuerong's nose and lips.

He has always thought that Ji Xuerong was good-looking, and every inch was shaped according to his favorite appearance.

He pursed his mouth, feeling that it was difficult to make a sound in his throat, and his chest was filled with strange emotions, making him unable to breathe.

Thinking that he might never see Ji Xuerong again, Nianqiao's heart ached.He carefully cut himself open, like a mussel unfolding its hard shell, revealing its soft inside.

"Fu Qingming said that my life can be exchanged for His Highness's, that's why I'm afraid of Your Highness."

"I'm afraid His Highness will kill me."

Nianqiao's eyes were red, he blinked to suppress his tears, and said in a muffled voice, "... At worst, I'll just kill His Highness."

"Your Highness, don't abandon me."
