Xiao Jiu'an was only injured, and applying the medicine was basically not too much of a problem. After obtaining Doctor Zhuge's consent, the guards prepared to carry Xiao Jiu'an and climb up.

The guard reached toward Xiao Jiu'an, but his hand was suddenly stopped, "There's no need, This King can walk by himself."

"Prince, you're awake?"

"Yes." Xiao Jiu'an responded indifferently and stood up. Seeing the bruises on his body, he could not help but frown and extended his hand: "Clothes!"

Exposing his wounds to the outside world was like a weakling showing his sorrow in front of people to gain the sympathy of others. He had never liked it.

Xiao Shaorong knew Xiao Jiu'an's personality very well, so he quickly put Ji Yunkai down and took off the clothes on his body: "I didn't bring your clothes, I will take mine off for you."

"Yes." Xiao Jiu'an did not refuse, and his eyes swept toward Xiao Shaorong's arms and chest with a trace of dissatisfaction.

However, Xiao Jiu'an did not say anything, because Xiao Shaorong was not a bystander.

Xiao Jiu'an was a little more muscular and taller than Xiao Shaorong, so exchanging his clothes with Xiao Shaorong's was considered appropriate, except for it being a little bit tight and uncomfortable.

However, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, it was still better than his wounds being exposed.

After changing his clothes, Xiao Jiu'an pointed at Ji Yunkai who was beneath the tree: "How is she? Is she dead?" He remembered, with the last bit of consciousness he had before falling unconscious, drinking Ji Yunkai's blood, and had even drank quite a bit.

After being drunk on so much blood, would Ji Yunkai still be alive?

Doctor Zhuge thought that Xiao Jiu'an was asking him about it and hurriedly stepped forward to speak, "The condition of the Princess is very bad, I'm afraid it's..." There is no saving her!

The doctor did not need to finish speaking, as his meaning was clear.

"Yes. Bring her back to the residence and do your best to treat her." Xiao Jiu'an was not shocked by the answer as he expected it. It would only be strange if nothing had happened to Ji Yunkai.

"Alright." Seeing that Xiao Jiu'an wanted to save Ji Yunkai, Xiao Shaorong heaved a sigh of relief. He was about to carry Ji Yunkai again and just when he had just bent down, he heard Xiao Jiu'an say, "Shaorong, how long have I been missing for?"

Xiao Shaorong could only retract his hand and stood up: "Eight hours." From last night until now.

Xiao Jiu'an nodded, and continued to ask, "Last night, who made their move?"

"Marquis Guangping." The Old Princess Yanbei's blood brother, and the Prince's and Shiqing's maternal uncle.

Xiao Jiu'an did not seem to be surprised by this answer at all, as he continued with an unchanged expression, "Where is Shiqing?"

"Marquis Guangping didn't hurt her. She was locked up by him, but when I rushed over, his son intended to violate her. If I had arrived a bit later, he would have succeeded." The Son of the Marquis of Guangping was one-year older than Xiao Shiqing. When the Old Princess Yanbei was still alive, she wanted Xiao Shiqing to marry into her maiden family and engage her to him. However, Xiao Shiqing never agreed to it and the engagement did not happen.

The Son of the Marquis of Guangping had gotten married two years ago; he never thought that he would still be thinking about Xiao Shiqing.

"Shiqing ordered her men to cripple him and had them throw him into the mines. He is not allowed to return for the rest of his life." Jiu'an and Shiqing are really worthy of being called twins. Although their appearances were completely different, their actions were pretty much the same.

"It's too light." Xiao Jiu'an frowned, but did not say anymore, and only let Xiao Shaorong follow him.

"Princess..." Xiao Shaorong walked two steps before remembering Ji Yunkai's existence, and he immediately stopped.

Xiao Jiu'an's footsteps did not stop and he casually pointed to two guards: "Carry the Princess."

"Yes." The guards nodded in agreement before turning around to carry Ji Yunkai on one of their backs, strictly following Xiao Jiu'an's orders.

Xiao Shaorong looked at the guard as he walked past him with a person on his back. He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, but he could not think of anything wrong at the moment, so he could only shake his head and not think of anything.

Seeing that Xiao Jiu'an had already used the rope to climb up, Xiao Shaorong quickly gathered his thoughts and gently jumped up.

He, who was in good health, could not lose to Xiao Jiu'an, who was a patient.

The two of them followed one after the other, using the ropes to quickly climb up. Very quickly, they left the group of people behind. The guards left behind saw the vigorous and nimble Xiao Jiu'an and Xiao Shaorong, and sweated profusely...

Their Prince's injuries were already so serious, yet he was faster than them. They might as well be crippled!

Under Xiao Jiu'an's stimulation, the guards used all their strength to climb, but even so, they were still far behind.

There was no other way. The bottom of the mountain was too deep, and it was not something that they could climb up with just their life on the line. Without sufficient stamina, even climbing would be extremely difficult.

Xiao Jiu'an and Xiao Shaorong arrived at the top of the mountain first. After waiting for the horse carriage and other things to be arranged, the guards carried Ji Yunkai and climbed up the mountain.

After the guards settled Ji Yunkai down, they rushed forward to report in, gasping for breath. Xiao Jiu'an nodded indifferently and ordered them to return to the capital.

Under the escort of the Yanbei Army, Xiao Jiu'an and his group returned to the capital.

Feng Qi and Fei Xiao Chai stood in the dark, watching Xiao Jiu'an's men carry Ji Yunkai on their backs, watching Xiao Jiu'an give the order to return to the capital...

"Boss, Little Junior Sister Yunkai seems to be heavily injured. Do we really not care about her?" Watching the horse carriage move further and further away, Fei Xiao Chai could not help but ask.

*Cough, cough....* Feng Qi did not say anything. He first coughed out a mouthful of blood: "How could we take away Little Junior Sister with us in such a state?"

Feng Qi raised his hand, and wiped away the blood on his face. It was a normal action, but it had an indescribable charm to it.

But at this time, Fei Xiao Chai was not in the mood to appreciate it. Seeing Feng Qi spitting blood again, he asked worriedly, "Boss, are you alright?"

Without waiting for Feng Qi's reply, Fei Xiao Chai said angrily, "If it wasn't for that bastard Xiao Jiu'an scheming against us, Boss, you wouldn't be injured to this extent."

"Little Junior Sister should have lost a lot of blood. It'll be fine after a period of rest. We'll also make arrangements and see what we can do next." His injuries were indeed not light, and he would likely not be able to use martial-arts for a short period of time. It would be practically impossible for him to use forceful means to take Ji Yunkai away from Xiao Jiu'an's hands.

As for being schemed by Xiao Jiu'an?

Feng Qi did not think of it as a scheme, because he knew that this would happen in advance. Xiao Jiu'an had clearly calculated to use them and he could choose ignore it, but it was just that...

He did not want his Master to blame himself, and he did not want his Junior Master to be sad. He knew that Xiao Jiu'an was using him and Fei Xiao Chai, but he came anyway.

Sometimes, there was no need to think things through, there was no need to care about the gains and losses, and there was no need to think about being used. Everything had been calculated early on. It was too tiring....
