Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

Inside Baoqiong Tower, mist was lingering and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

Jin Jiusi had just finished bathing and looked even more beautiful than a lotus flower emerging from water.

She was lightly wrapped in a white bathrobe, her wet long hair casually draped over her shoulders, water droplets slid down her hair and dripped onto the ground, forming small water splashes.

At this moment, a little maid came running over and reported to Jin Jiusi, "Young Master, Master Yun has been waiting outside the door for a long time."

Jin Jiusi was slightly stunned. If the little maid hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten that Yun Chenyu was here.

"Go and invite him in." Jin Jiusi ordered softly.

The little maid took the order and left, and opened the door after a while.

Yun Chenyu hurried in, his voice filled with anxiety and concern, "Your Highness, are you injured?"

Before he finished speaking, Yun Chenyu had already walked around the screen and quickly came in front of Jin Jiusi.

His eyes scanned Jin Jiusi eagerly, as if he wanted to immediately confirm whether she was safe.

When he finally saw the face that had been haunting him, his heart finally settled down a little, but he still couldn't help but reach out his hand to take a closer look.

"It's okay, I made you worry."

Jin Jiusi gently held his slightly flustered hands and soothed his emotions with a gentle tone.

When Yun Chenyu heard Jin Jiusi's words, his expression relaxed a lot, but the worry in his eyes did not completely disappear.

He held Jin Jiusi's slender and soft hand tightly, as if he was afraid that the other person would disappear if he let go.

His voice was low and subdued, with a barely perceptible tremor, as he asked, "Your Highness promised you would never leave me alone. Are you going to break your promise so soon?"

Jin Jiusi couldn't help but sigh softly. She held Yun Chenyu's face in her hands and gently kissed him on the lips.

After a moment, she sat down on the chair and briefly told Yun Chenyu the reason why she went to Canglong Valley.

Yun Chenyu listened quietly, and with every word that reached his ears, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

When he heard Jin Jiusi say that this trip was to save the world, a glint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Before this, he had vaguely guessed that His Highness's return to Phoenix Mountain might be related to the previous epidemic.

What shocked him even more was that the epidemic was not completely eradicated but only temporarily suppressed.

The envoys from Xijiang and Nanli have already returned to the court, so these two countries may be ravaged by the epidemic again in the near future.

By then... the consequences will be unimaginable!

In the end, it is the common people who suffer.

However, His Highness is of extremely noble status, and has always been weak and sickly since childhood. He has been recuperating on Phoenix Mountain.

Now, she resolutely shoulders the heavy responsibility of saving the people of the world from disaster.

How could she be left alone to bear such a heavy burden?

"Don't worry, the last medicine has been found. Tomorrow, we will set off back to the Imperial City."

Jin Jiusi looked at Yun Chenyu with a determined expression, "The world is overturned, the mountains and rivers are destroyed, saving the people from the water and fire is my duty and responsibility as a child of the royal family."

Yun Chenyu was filled with both shock and admiration. He held Jin Jiusi's hand tightly and said, "I am willing to lead the charge and pave a path to greatness for Your Highness."

"You want me to seize my brother's throne?" Jin Jiusi asked in a surprised tone.

"I dare not!"

"I am not interested in that position."

"Then I will stay by Your Highness's side and protect your well-being for the rest of your life." Yun Chenyu looked at Jin Jiusi affectionately, his eyes full of sincerity.

Jin Jiusi felt sweet in his heart and said, "Well, I agree."

The next morning, the sun shone over Phoenix Mountain, creating a faint golden halo.

As soon as Jin Jiusi stood up, the little maid came to tell her that the steward was already waiting outside the door.

"This old servant greets the Young Master."

When he saw Jin Jiusi coming out, the steward immediately went up to him respectfully and bowed.

"What brings you here, steward?"

"Young Pavilion Master, the Pavilion Master has come out of seclusion."

Upon hearing this, Jin Jiusi raised her eyebrows. She knew exactly why the manager came.

"Oh? The old man has come out of seclusion. I've been down the mountain for a long time, it's time to go check on him."

The adoptive father of this body is Feng Qingcang, the master of Yuncang Pavilion.

Jin Jiusi followed the steward to the main hall, where he saw a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked majestic without even being angry.

Following the scene in his memory, Jin Jiusi spoke directly, "Old man, after your seclusion, your skills have reached a new level. However, the skills you have mastered are very challenging, so be careful not to go astray."

Having said that, she sat down by herself.

Feng Qingcang really loved and hated her, and scolded her lightly: "What old man? You have no respect for your elders. I am your father!"

"Yes, yes, but you didn't say no?"

Jin Jiusi poured a cup of tea. Feng Qingcang thought it was his own daughter pouring it for him, but he saw her directly raise the cup and drink it all in one gulp.

Feng Qingcang shook his head helplessly. He had no way to deal with his daughter.

"Are your brother and sister-in-law doing well in the Imperial City?" Feng Qingcang asked.

"I guess Prime Minister Yun has talked a lot with you." Jin Jiusi raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Is Xiaojiu very familiar with him?" Feng Qingcang asked curiously.

"Prime Minister Yun is a capable minister who governs the country with extraordinary strategy. He often accompanies the emperor in the palace, so he must be familiar with him."

Feng Qingcang looked at his daughter and seemed to understand something. "It seems that our Xiaojiu is moved."

"Old man, stop talking nonsense." Jin Jiusi said coquettishly.

"Haha, girls can't be kept at home when they grow up." Feng Qingcang laughed.

"..."

The father and daughter were joking and the atmosphere was harmonious.

As soon as Yun Chenyu entered the door, he saw this scene of a loving father and a filial daughter, and his heart was moved.

If my father were still alive, would they also be as carefree and happy as this...

"Uncle Feng, Your Highness..." Yun Chenyu nodded slightly to the two of them.

He walked over to the chair next to Jin Jiusi and sat down. He leaned slightly closer to her ear and asked softly, "Your Highness, when will we return?"

Jin Jiusi looked at him, then at Feng Qingcang, and said softly, "It's almost there."

Yun Chenyu heard this and said no more.

At this time, Feng Qingcang asked, "Girls are no longer under the control of their fathers."

"Old man, stop howling. Would you like to go down the mountain with us?" Jin Jiusi asked.

Feng Qingcang was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head, "No, Dad doesn't really want to keep you, let's go."

It’s better not to let Xiaojiu know some things.

"Well." Jin Jiusi nodded, "Then we'll go ahead." After that, she stood up and walked out with Yun Chenyu.

When they were about to leave the courtyard, Yun Chenyu finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, do you want the Emperor to return to the Imperial City?"

Jin Jiusi stopped, turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, you really understand me."

Feng Qingcang sacrificed himself to ensure the prosperity of Donghua.

Now, he is almost exhausted.

If this continues, even gods may not be able to save us.
