Amber was worried and kept guarding outside the house, but it was past dinner time and there was no movement in the house.

"Girl, please come out and say something."

There was no movement inside. I glanced up at the sky and saw that it was already full of stars. It was almost midnight.

I was really anxious, so I pushed the door open and went in.

Just as he stretched out his hand, someone came in from outside the yard. The dull sound of military boots stepping on the ground was getting closer and closer. Prince Yan was back.

Amber quickly stepped forward and bowed. King Yan asked, "Still not coming out?"

Amber shook her head. Ever since she found out that the eldest young master was missing, she has been distraught. She didn't even have dinner and hasn't come out since she went into the house.

"Where did you go today?"

Amber didn't know how to start the conversation, as the girl didn't allow her to talk about it.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I cannot speak."

In fact, even without being told, the King of Yan knew that his people were not just for show.

King Yan didn't ask any more questions, but pushed the door open and walked in.

There was no light in the room, it was pitch black and so quiet that not a single breath could be heard.

Slowly walking to the bedside, he could see the person under the quilt. Prince Yan was sitting on the bedside and asked in a deep voice, "What could have caused you to become so depressed?"

The person on the bed didn't speak or move. Prince Yan raised his hand to lift the quilt. Just as he was about to say something, he realized something was wrong. The person on the bed was too quiet.

He felt his forehead and quickly ordered outside, "Call the imperial physician."

The accompanying imperial physician came to take the pulse and prescribed medicine before leaving.

Amber stood by the bed and cried sadly. Her daughter never complained of being tired along the way. She was afraid of causing trouble to others and not being able to reach Pingchuan.

I finally arrived in Pingchuan yesterday, but I fell ill today. It's all her fault for not coming in earlier.

The expression on King Yan's face finally changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

Amber kept crying with her head down and didn't say anything.

Jiang Nian had a high fever, was unconscious, and kept talking nonsense.

After sending everyone out of the room, King Yan slowly leaned over and listened to what Jiang Nian was saying.

"Mother...mother..."

"Don't go, don't go, don't go..."

The person on the bed grabbed his sleeve and said something incomprehensible.

King Yan had no choice but to let her hold him.

He tucked the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead behind her ears, but did not pull out her sleeves.

When it was almost dawn, there was finally movement in the house. Prince Yan opened the door and came out. The deputy general outside the door saw someone coming out and immediately went to greet him.

"Your Highness, the refugees outside the city have been settled, and the search and rescue on the mountain is going smoothly. You are injured, so you should go back and rest."

Prince Yan looked at the gray sky, which reflected his current mood, and ordered, "Go and find out who Xiao Yinnan is."

"Yes."

......

When Jiang Nian woke up, it was almost noon. Hubo, who was standing by the bed, said in surprise, "Miss, you're awake? Are you still feeling unwell? Are you hungry? The soup is warming up in the kitchen."

Jiang Nian only felt a severe pain in his throat, and his voice was hoarse: "Am I sick?"

"You really scared me to death. You had a fever and you were feverish all night."

Jiang Nian only remembered that he felt upset yesterday, so he went to bed as soon as he got home, and he didn't remember anything that happened after that.

Amber helped her get dressed and whispered, "Miss, you were sick last night, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan stayed with you all night and left this morning."

Jiang Nian felt that there was something wrong with her ears. Who watched over her all night?

"King Yan is back?"

"Yes, he came back last night. As soon as he got back, he came to see the girl. I heard that he was injured. He is resting in the main courtyard now."

Jiang Nian washed his face and finally felt much more awake.

The food was brought in from the kitchen, but Jiang Nian couldn't eat any more after just a few bites.

After dinner, Amber helped her sit down on the couch and brought her medicine.

"Go ask His Royal Highness Prince Yan if he's awake. If he is, let's go and take a look."

"Yes."

After a while, Amber came back and said that there was some movement at the hospital, and the patient must have woken up.

Jiang Nian got dressed, but he still didn't have the strength, so he asked Amber to help him go to the main courtyard.

There were soldiers guarding outside the main courtyard. Jiang Nian asked someone to inform them and was quickly invited in.

Although I was wearing warm clothes, I still couldn't help shivering when I entered the house.

The people in the house changed their expressions and quickly added another brazier into the house.

The maid served tea and left, taking Amber with her when she left.

There was no one in the room. The inner room behind the door should be the King of Yan's bedroom.

Jiang Nian hadn't even taken two sips of his tea when a deep voice came from inside: "Come in."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian quickly stood up and walked to the door, slowly pushed it open and walked in.

Only the Prince of Yan was inside, and he couldn't be seen clearly behind the screen.

"sit down."

Jiang Nian didn't move. He asked, "I heard that His Highness was injured. Is it serious?"

There was silence behind the screen for a long time. "Are you concerned about me?"

Jiang Nian pondered the purpose of his visit today and did not deny it: "Your Highness has worked hard. You must be exhausted these past few days and injured. I am indeed a little worried."

The person behind the screen raised his lips slightly. Worried? Perhaps he wanted to ask him for something?

"come over."

Jiang Nian hardened his heart, walked over, and was stunned for a moment.

Prince Yan had his back to her, his upper body naked, wrapped in gauze, and his back was covered with wounds and scars of various sizes.

"I'm sorry to bother Miss Jiang again."

Jiang Nian was very familiar with this kind of thing before, and was not surprised by men with naked upper bodies.

The wounds on his body were already bleeding, so Jiang Nian didn't think much about it.

He walked forward and cut the gauze on his body with scissors. The wound on his back made Jiang Nian frown slightly.

This wound doesn't look like a knife wound, but more like being hit by something.

The wound is very deep, the surface is bloody and there is still some dirt that has not been cleaned up. This won't work.

"Your Highness, don't you have a royal physician with you?"

Prince Yan said calmly, "The imperial physician is away, and the city is short of doctors, so I've sent someone over."

Jiang Nian pursed his lips and said nothing. He removed all the gauze and stood up. "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll go find something and be back soon. Don't move."

Jiang Nian ordered some wine and asked Humber to get the package of medicine she kept from the house.

He poured out some medicine powder from a bottle and said, "I'm going to apply medicine to Your Highness. It might be a little painful, please bear with it."

"Ah."

This was the medicine she had prepared herself. It was something similar to Ma Fei San and could be applied directly to the wound. However, because it was not potent enough, it was only slightly effective.

After applying the powder on the wound, Jiang Nian began to clean the wound, removed the dirt, and wiped the outside with wine before applying the medicine.

The King of Yan sat still the whole time without saying a word.

He could feel the woman's breath behind him, and the warmth of her soft, boneless hands as they brushed across his back. Prince Yan clenched his hands tightly, and veins bulged on his arms.

Jiang Nian tied the gauze and stood up, and King Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"All right."

Prince Yan stood up and took a look at the clothes beside him.

Jiang Nian picked up the clothes with great tact and said with a smile, "I'll help Your Highness get dressed."
