Chapter 84 Injured
Through this incident, Qin Xuanyu finally realized that he liked...
Jiang Qingyue was somewhat puzzled by Qin Xuanyu's reaction.
What's wrong with Qin Xuanyu lately? Every time I see him, something seems off. "What do you know?"
"Yes, why? Jiang Qingyue, can't you guess?" After saying that, Qin Xuanyu moved a little closer. Jiang Qingyue subconsciously stepped back, but tripped over a pebble and almost fell backward.
Qin Xuanyu reached out and grabbed Jiang Qingyue from behind, pulling her closer.
Jiang Qingyue's breathing became erratic, and she quickly pushed Qin Xuanyu away, her cheeks feeling burning hot.
If she could see her face right now, she would definitely see it burning red.
"Your Highness... I... I don't know." Jiang Qingyue's heart was in turmoil. This was something she had never experienced before, not even when facing Qin Jinghao in her previous life.
Faced with the unknown, Jiang Qingyue still instinctively tried to escape.
Although she might have guessed it, she still found it hard to believe and felt that it must be a misunderstanding.
Looking at Jiang Qingyue's expression, how could Qin Xuanyu not notice?
He didn't pressure Jiang Qingyue. It's alright, there's plenty of time, she'll get used to it eventually.
Qin Xuanyu smiled and shook his head, preparing to go to the side to see if there was a way.
However, as soon as Qin Xuanyu made a move, Jiang Qingyue retreated immediately like a startled rabbit.
This retreat had serious consequences. In the chaos, he lost his balance and twisted his ankle, crying out in pain.
"What's your hurry? I'm not going to eat you." Qin Xuanyu felt both annoyed and amused.
Qin Xuanyu helped her sit down on a large rock nearby and reached out to check on her, but Jiang Qingyue quickly pulled her face away.
"Are you trying to trap me in this godforsaken place with you?"
Jiang Qingyue opened her mouth as if to say that she could leave first, but in the end she kept quiet.
Qin Xuanyu carefully lifted Jiang Qingyue's foot and took off her shoes and socks. In just a short while, Jiang Qingyue's foot had already swelled up.
Qin Xuanyu frowned and looked at it. "Bear with it."
After saying that, he slowly turned Jiang Qingyue's ankle, and then suddenly exerted force.
Jiang Qingyue heard a "crack" sound, followed by her cry of pain.
Just when Jiang Qingyue thought it was almost over, a large hand covered her. Jiang Qingyue shrank back, but couldn't escape Qin Xuanyu's grasp. "Your Highness..."
Jiang Qingyue didn't realize that because of the pain she had just felt, her voice now carried a hint of coquetry, which made Qin Xuanyu's body stiffen involuntarily.
However, Qin Xuanyu quickly realized what was happening and used some of his internal energy to massage her.
"Your Highness, please stop!" Jiang Qingyue quickly reached out to stop Qin Xuanyu.
Qin Xuanyu frowned, thinking Jiang Qingyue was still hesitant, and was about to say something when he heard Jiang Qingyue continue.
“Your Highness, your condition is not suitable for using internal energy, otherwise it will easily accelerate the onset of the poison in your body. I have gone to great lengths to suppress it for you.” Jiang Qingyue did not want to go through the ordeal again.
"It'll only be a little while, it's alright." Qin Xuanyu didn't care. He'd had bad luck before, and it had always worked out fine.
"Has Your Highness forgotten that I also know medicine?" Jiang Qingyue, having realized the problem, exclaimed. How could she not have thought of that before?
As expected, Qin Xuanyu's hand froze upon hearing this, neither moving forward nor backward.
Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but laugh. "Your Highness, I can do it myself."
Jiang Qingyue took out her small pouch of silver needles and began to administer acupuncture to herself.
Qin Xuanyu stood to the side, watching with his eyes lowered, his expression unreadable.
After a while, Jiang Qingyue's foot felt much better and didn't look as terrible as before.
Taking this opportunity, Qin Xuanyu surveyed his surroundings. When he noticed something amiss in the bushes ahead, he approached and immediately became alert. "Quick, let's go!"
Jiang Qingyue didn't understand his sudden reaction, but subconsciously she trusted Qin Xuanyu, so her body reacted faster than her brain. She got up and limped to Qin Xuanyu's side.
Qin Xuanyu put his arm around Jiang Qingyue's waist, and then, taking advantage of a few moments, used tree branches and leaves as support points to fly forward at high speed.
The moment they took flight, a dark shadow suddenly pounced on them.
Qin Xuanyu couldn't avoid it, so he turned around and shielded Jiang Qingyue behind him.
A muffled groan came from behind, and Jiang Qingyue's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to check, she found herself placed on a tree, where she saw a dark shadow—a ferocious tiger with piercing eyes.
After landing, the tiger let out a fierce roar, seemingly even angrier because its prey had dodged. It took a few steps back before quickly lunging forward.
Qin Xuanyu knew how to nimbly dodge the tiger's attack.
But the tiger seemed to be extremely hungry, and it moved forward again and again, becoming more and more ferocious, while Qin Xuanyu's strength was gradually being depleted.
Jiang Qingyue watched the situation below with nervousness, especially when she saw the wound on Qin Xuanyu's back, her palms were sweating profusely with anxiety.
She reached out and touched it, and when she touched a familiar packet of powder, it was as if she had seen a savior.
"Qin Xuanyu, catch!" Jiang Qingyue stood up, gathered her meager inner strength, and threw it with all her might at Qin Xuanyu.
Qin Xuanyu knew to roll over and catch the medicine packet. When the tiger charged forward again, he pressed himself against the tiger's face and sprinkled the powder towards its eyes.
A deafening roar rang out, momentarily blinding the tiger, which then wandered aimlessly in place.
Although this drug can knock a person out, it is, after all, a ferocious beast. It can only slightly slow down its progress, and it will soon be able to react.
But Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue wouldn't give it time to react.
After throwing them, Jiang Qingyue broke off two more sharp branches, sprinkled them with poison, and threw them to Qin Xuanyu, saying, "Don't touch the sharp parts!"
Qin Xuanyu understood, grabbed the lower part, one in each hand, and thrust directly at the tiger's eyes.
"Roar~" The tiger was in pain and swung its body with all its might. Qin Xuanyu was hit by its body and slammed to the ground. He was immediately stunned and his blood and qi were churning.
The tiger, in pain, didn't care about anything else and charged forward aimlessly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Xuanyu leaped up a tree and quickly left with Jiang Qingyue.
Using the high vantage point, Qin Xuanyu could also see the surrounding terrain clearly, and he flew straight forward.
There was a dilapidated palace just ahead, which must have been the palace of the previous emperor.
After Qin Xuanyu landed with Jiang Qingyue, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Qin Xuanyu!" Jiang Qingyue quickly supported him and helped him into the palace to take his pulse. The more she took his pulse, the more pale Jiang Qingyue's face became, especially when she saw the wound on his back. She remembered that if it hadn't been for him, she might have been the one who was injured. Jiang Qingyue, who had been pretending to be strong, finally couldn't hold back her tears at this moment...
