"You know your body best. This disease is difficult to cure. Given your physical condition, it will take at least two years to recover."

Li Yu'an's hope had long been extinguished by repeated disappointments. Now that he felt the changes in his body and heard His Highness say that it would take two years to be cured, he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

In a trance, His Highness seemed to be the salvation he had been waiting for for so long, in the past, now, and in the future.

"It's only two years. I can wait."

Liang Chongyue saw Li Yu'an clasping his fists towards him through the firelight. He wanted to say something thankful, but simply waved his hands away.

"This princess wants a Li Taishi who only listens to her. I hope you can keep your word. Otherwise, I can cure you, but I can also make you wish you were dead."

Ping'an was sitting next to His Highness. Over the years, there was nothing His Highness wanted to do that he couldn't accomplish. If Grand Tutor Li betrayed His Highness, with His Highness's ruthless methods, even ten Grand Tutors Li would not be enough for His Highness to deal with.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will never let you down in your kindness."

Liang Chongyue nodded at him, then looked at Ping An:

"You and Chengzhao stay here while I go out to find a horse."

Ping An subconsciously stood up, thinking it was too dangerous for Her Royal Highness to go looking for a horse. However, just as he stood up a little, he was suppressed by the princess's eyes and sat down again:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely protect Master Li and Cheng Zhao."

Liang Chongyue was not very satisfied when he heard this. He stopped short as he was about to take a step forward. He turned around and looked at Ping An, saying word by word:

"And yourself."

The people Liang Chongyue has been protecting all the way are not meant to be used as meat shields for others.

Li Yu'an has what she wants and he is useful, but that doesn't mean she will be missing anything without him.

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he turned and walked into the darkness. The three people gathered around the fire had different thoughts. Some were worried, some were moved, and some were even holding their master's pulse.

Liang Chongyue walked out of the cave. The wind outside was much weaker, the moon came out, and the view under his feet was much clearer.

Liang Chongyue took off the two monster heads tied around his waist and put them into his backpack. He then washed the dirt off his hands and face with water. After washing, Liang Chongyue found a higher rock and whistled towards the distance.

If there is no response, then continue to blow. The two horses that Ping An brought today are both fine horses that her family has spent a lot of money to maintain. Even if the two horses get separated, they will find each other.

Logically speaking, as long as people don't restrain them, they can survive in the mountains.

Liang Chongyue was still unwilling to give up, so he whistled in all directions until he heard the neighing of a horse. Then he stopped whistling and stood there waiting.

During this period, Liang Chongyue heard the roars of wild beasts and the chirping sounds of small animals more than once.

After waiting for a while, Liang Chongyue saw three horses galloping towards him in the moonlight.

She didn't expect that the horse in her house could actually bring back Li Yu'an's horse.

The horses walked up to Liang Chongyue. Liang Chongyue got down from the boulder and began to check their bodies. There was blood on each horse and one or two wounds. After Liang Chongyue treated their wounds, he led them towards the cave.

The three people in the cave had been waiting anxiously for a long time. Liang Chongyue had just walked to a nearby part of the cave when he vaguely saw three figures standing at the entrance.

Liang Chongyue recognized Ping'an at a glance. When he was a eunuch in the palace, he was used to bending over to salute, and his back was not as straight as the other two. Especially when Ping'an saw her, he immediately ran over. Liang Chongyue couldn't help but notice it.

"Your Highness has worked hard, let me be your servant."

Liang Chongyue did not refuse and handed the reins to Ping'an. Li Yu'an also came forward. Chengzhao was injured and it was inconvenient for him. In addition, there were still many things next to the fire, so it would not work without someone watching.

Li Yu'an also understood when he saw that there were only three horses.

I don’t know if the three horses have seen the dangers of the mountains before, but now that they are led safely into the cave, they are not afraid of the strong smell of blood.

"Your Highness, when do we set out?"

Liang Chongyue glanced at the time on the panel. It was eight o'clock in the evening. Liang Chongyue pondered for a moment and instructed the other three people present:

"We'll set off in two hours. There are three horses and one wounded man. Li Yu'an, you'll be responsible for your own men."

Li Yu'an had no objection to this. He had known for a long time that Her Royal Highness the Princess had always been protective of her people and had never been particularly kind to those around her.

"Then I'll take them out to eat some grass first, otherwise they won't be able to bear the journey back and forth."

Ping An spoke, Liang Chongyue nodded at him, and before Ping An could lead the three horses out, Cheng Zhao followed him:

"I'll go with you. It's safer for two of us."

Ping An was so happy to have someone to accompany him that he wanted to give him a rein. However, he glanced at Cheng Zhao's hands which were tied by His Highness, thought for a moment and took back the rein he was about to give him. He held it in his own hand and walked out with the three horses.

Ping An has the life-saving equipment that Liang Chongyue gave him, so he is not worried that he will be in danger.

They had to travel soon and Liang Chongyue was not ready to sleep. She asked Li Yu'an to listen to her, but she didn't want to expose her secret in front of Li Yu'an.

Liang Chongyue leaned on the stone beside the fire. There were some newly picked branches beside the fire. They must have been picked up by them when she went out to look for horses.

Liang Chongyue leaned against the stone and closed his eyes to rest. In Li Yu'an's eyes, His Highness seemed to be preparing to take a short rest to recuperate and prepare to ride on horseback.

Although Liang Chongyue closed his eyes, his mind was extremely clear.

While using the system's external probe to adjust the movements in front of her on the panel, she also split the screen to read the information sent to her by the system.

Along the way, she had been asking the system to check things for her. Now she saw that there was quite a lot, not only Li Yu'an's information, but also her second brother's, the Xiao family, and the Qu family.

Liang Chongyue flipped through the pictures one by one, not wanting to miss anything wrong.

Two hours passed by, Liang Chongyue was so engrossed in reading that he had marked many things that were wrong, when he suddenly noticed Ping An walking in with a horse.

Liang Chongyue was still pretending to sleep at this time. In the eyes of the other two, it seemed that His Highness had worked hard today and was overworked and had not woken up yet.

Only Ping'an could see that His Highness had not slept at all. He had been troubled by nightmares recently and would have a high fever as soon as he fell asleep. There was no place to collect herbs in the deep mountains late at night. Even if His Highness had brought the medicine himself, he would never expose this matter to others.
