A red apricot is about to cheat on you

The entire tent was filled with an inexplicable aura. Yi Duoer weakly opened her lips and uttered a faint, intermittent sound: "Ten, ten... Mom..."

It was as if she had exhausted all her strength, yet still couldn't fully call out that name. Her cheeks, trying to shout out, showed a hint of pain and struggle because of the difficulty. Chu Jingchen knew in his heart that she was calling him.

He was extremely anxious and without hesitation, he tightly grasped Yi Duo'er's hand, trying to give her more comfort and a sense of security in this way, his tone full of anxiety:

"I'm here, I'm right here. Duo'er, don't be afraid!" His affectionate gesture was like a spring breeze, gradually soothing the uneasy waves in Yi Duo'er's heart. Her originally panic-stricken and hesitant face gradually calmed down.

While in a coma, Yi Duoer deeply felt the familiar embrace and the reassuring breath, which made her subconsciously think that Chu Jingchen was guarding her by her side, so she murmured his name when her consciousness was blurred.

In this way, Chu Jingchen held Yi Duoer gently in his arms in such an affectionate posture and spent a long night with her.

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight quietly filtered into the tent. Yi Duoer slowly opened her eyes, only to be greeted by a strange yet novel environment.

She was full of doubts and was just thinking about it when she saw Chu Jingchen walking in steadily with a bowl of steaming medicine. At this moment, Chu Jingchen still looked like Ah Jing. Yi Duoer asked softly, "Why am I here? Where is this? Where is Xie Xingchen?"

When Chu Jingchen heard that the first thing she said after waking up was to mention Xie Xingchen, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

But he still suppressed his inner turmoil, carefully handed the medicine to Yi Duoer, and patiently explained:

"You fainted yesterday, and I brought you back. I then quickly asked a wizard to treat you. The wizard said that there were two conflicting internal forces within you."

When Yi Duoer heard this, she immediately remembered that it was the internal strength of Gu Yizhou and Wei Yan.

She had never expected that these two internal forces would clash in her body. No wonder she always felt as if her body was burning in flames and the pain was unbearable.

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Chu Jingchen spoke softly, pulling her wandering thoughts back to her senses, motioning her to drink the medicine, and telling her that it was a bowl of tonic that could strengthen her body.

Yi Duoer first thanked Chu Jingchen with gratitude, then frowned, picked up the medicine bowl, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that she was so afraid of taking medicine in the past, but was now so decisive, Chu Jingchen couldn't help but ask curiously, "You are so generous in drinking medicine. Isn't this medicine hard to drink?"

Yi Duoer waved her hand nonchalantly and said:

"This little bit of medicine is nothing. During the plague in Jiangzhou, I often tested medicine on behalf of Mr. Chen. Over time, I've gotten used to it." Her tone was flat, as if she was talking about an insignificant matter. However, when Chu Jingchen heard it, he felt more and more guilty and regretful.

At this moment, Yi Duoer had no doubt about Chu Jingchen's words.

But at this moment, Ah Zhu came running in with a panicked look on his face. He ran into the tent and went straight to Yi Duo'er's bed. He excitedly held her hand and said in a trembling voice, "Sangsang, Yuyao committed suicide."

"What?" Upon hearing the tragic news, Yi Duo'er jumped out of bed in a frenzy. Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as she loudly questioned Ah Zhu, "Is Yuyao dead?"

Ah Zhu shook his head in grief, tears welling up in his eyes:

"No, someone raped her last night. She's extremely emotional right now. Go see her and help me comfort her."

When Yi Duoer heard this, her face flushed crimson. With her hair disheveled, she rushed out recklessly. Ah Zhu hurriedly wiped the tears from his face and followed closely behind her.

Chu Jingchen knew very well that this matter concerned the woman's reputation, and as a foreign man, it was inconvenient for him to go, so he stayed where he was.

Yuyao was already disheartened and like a walking corpse. She had already attempted suicide once before, jumping into the river, but was rescued by a kind-hearted person.

Since then, she has been locked up in the house, never seeing the sun. Jiang Wange stays by her side, never leaving her side, afraid that she will do something stupid again.

Yi Duoer rushed into the house anxiously and saw the heartbreaking scene in front of her.

She was heartbroken, and she quickly stepped forward, hugged Yuyao tightly, and said softly: "It's okay, cry if you want to."

Her voice was as gentle as water, and she just silently gave Yuyao warmth and support without asking about the ins and outs of the matter.

Because she knew very well that what was most painful for Yu Yao at this moment was recalling what happened last night.

Jiang Wange saw that although Yi Duo'er's hair was disheveled and she looked a little disheveled, she was full of life. He knew that she had recovered. Their eyes met and they nodded slightly, a greeting.

Yuyao finally couldn't help but burst into tears in Yi Duo'er's arms, her mouth full of painful cries:

"Why did you save me? Why didn't you let me die directly? Wuwu... I don't want to live anymore."

After a while, Yi Duoer saw that Yuyao had almost vented her emotions, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She said sternly:

"This isn't your fault. Why should you die? Let's just treat it as a dog bite. It's nothing. The one who deserves death is that beast. Tell me, who was it?"

With Jiang Wange's earnest persuasion and comfort, Yuyao gradually stopped crying and slowly recounted what happened last night:

It turned out to be Wendu, the deputy general of the young Khan. This shameless man had long harbored evil intentions towards her. Last night, she went to the river to wash clothes as usual, but unexpectedly, Wendu ambushed her there and forcibly raped her.

Upon hearing this, Yi Duoer was so angry that she clenched her hands tightly. Her fingers turned white from excessive force, and some blue veins appeared faintly on her fair forehead.

She slowly let go of Yuyao, stood up, and growled in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will seek justice for you."

After saying this, without waiting for any reaction from them, he strode straight out. Jiang Wange was worried that she would do something rash in the heat of the moment, so he quickly ordered someone to stop Yi Duoer.

When Yi Duoer walked out of the tent, she suddenly stopped.

Although he has internal strength, Wendu is surrounded by many guards to protect him, and he himself has high martial arts skills.

If she went directly to the Plague City to settle the score, it would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg, seeking her own death. She paced back and forth outside the tent, racking her brains for a response.

At this moment, Chu Jingchen slowly walked towards her. Seeing her frown, he comforted her, "Don't worry, someone will punish him."

"Alas..." Yi Duoer sighed helplessly. She knew that they were just slaves here now, their voices were insignificant, and it would be difficult to shake the majestic general like a tiger. She just thought Chu Jingchen was comforting her and forced a smile to respond to him.

However, at this moment, Wendu was discussing important matters with Tuoba Hong.

When Mr. Chen learned that Azhu had rushed to find Wendu with a knife, he rushed back without stopping to inform Mr. Yan and others.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. How could they just watch Ah Zhu die in vain?

Yi Duo'er couldn't just sit back and watch Ah Zhu fall into danger. So, a bold and risky decision flashed through her mind. She turned to Jiang Wange and said, "Aunt Jiang, please take care of Yuyao. I'll go check on her."

Although Jiang Wange was full of worries and didn't want Yi Duoer to take risks, she also knew that she couldn't just let Azhu encounter an accident.

Yi Duo'er and her companions rushed to Tuoba Hong's tent where he was handling official business, but were rudely stopped by the guards.

The soldiers' faces were filled with ferocity as they shouted at Yi Duo'er. If they hadn't been wary of her close relationship with Xie Xingchen, they would have dragged her away and severely punished her.

Yi Duo'er's anger was instantly ignited. She cursed without caring about her image: "Tuoba Hong, come out here! What have you done to Azhu?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tuoba Hong walked out of the tent with a dark face and a look of anger, followed by Wendu who looked arrogant and disdainful.
