If anything serious happens to our female lead, how are we supposed to continue the story!
She quickly tried to get up from the ground, but her body was somewhat weak, almost causing her to fall down again.
Xiaowu, with quick eyes and hands, promptly supported Ye Qichi, "Princess."
At that moment, he was deeply moved by the Princess.
Even in such a physical state, she still wanted to go and save someone.
And not just anyone—the person she was bent on saving was the Prince’s most cherished.
The Princess is truly magnanimous.
Ye Qichi steadied herself and said, "Xiaowu, help me up."
"Princess, if you don’t want to go, then don’t. I will tell the Prince that you are weak and have fainted. Surely the Prince won’t do anything to you, right?!"
"That’s not necessarily the case," Ye Qichi said.
Given the Prince’s nature, he would probably whip her into action to treat Bai Mowan!
She said, "Let’s go."
Ye Qichi stood up from the ground.
Her body was unstable, and she could not have stood without Xiaowu’s help, let alone walk over to Xiao Jinxing.
With some difficulty and Xiaowu’s support, she finally reached Xiao Jinxing’s side.
Xiao Jinxing’s entire focus at that moment was on Bai Mowan.
Even the arrival of Ye Qichi did not prompt him to give her a proper look.
Ye Qichi squatted down and first checked Bai Mowan’s pulse.
Bai Mowan’s condition was not good; her complexion was somewhat pale.
It seemed the pain was making it difficult for her to bear.
She quietly took the pulse.
After a while, she said, "There should be no immediate danger to her life. I need to examine her wound."
Xiao Jinxing didn’t respond at all.
His entire heart was still with Bai Mowan.
Ye Qichi moved closer to Bai Mowan’s back to examine the place where the arrow had struck.
The location was indeed critical; a matter of depth could have a significant impact on the body.
She said, "It is difficult to make a diagnosis now. We need to remove her clothes to see the exact position and depth of the arrow wound to truly understand the extent of Miss Bai’s injuries!"
At this moment, Xiao Jinxing seemed to turn his head and glance at Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi’s face and body were covered with dark scars, and if one didn’t look closely, it was hard to recognize her appearance.
Her clothes were also tattered beyond recognition.
Because of the torn clothes, the skin on her arm was exposed, and the marks left by the burns were too horrific to behold.
At this moment, as their gazes met,
A pang of pain seemed to strike Xiao Jinxing’s heart.
And perhaps, a fleeting moment of guilt as well.
However, all those emotions vanished the moment Bai Mowan spoke,
"Jinxing, I’m fine, don’t worry about me," Bai Mowan said weakly, with great difficulty.
"Don’t talk, rest assured, I won’t let anything happen to you!" Xiao Jinxing said firmly.
"Jinxing, we have to capture Chen Zihuan and Chen Hezhi," Bai Mowan still worried about Chen Zihuan and Chen Hezhi at that moment, "They are Xiao Jinsen’s men. If they go back and tip him off, our relationship will be suspected by Xiao Jinsen, and he will target us immediately. It would be very disadvantageous for us."
"I know," Xiao Jinxing of course knew the dangers. He promised, "Chen Hezhi and Chen Zihuan won’t get away."
"This is the Commander’s Seal," Bai Mowan took out the military seal from her body, "The Bai Family troops are at your disposal."
"Fine," Xiao Jinxing did not refuse and took it before instructing Xiaowu, "Xiaowu, take command."
"Your subordinate acknowledges the order!" Xiaowu immediately responded with respect.
"I hereby command you to lead the Bai Family troops to arrest the traitors Chen Hezhi and his son. You must not fail!"
"Your subordinate obeys the order!" Xiaowu took the Commander’s Seal and left immediately.
Without a moment of hesitation.
Ye Qichi watched Xiaowu leave.
She, of course, knew how severely Xiaowu had been burned.
Enduring for a while was possible.
But if he had to endure for too long, it would inevitably cause great harm to his body.
Yet thinking of Xiao Jinxing’s command, Xiaowu could not resist, and she had no way to change Xiao Jinxing’s mind, especially since this was a request from Bai Mowan.
Xiaowu, with the majority of the Bai Family troops that had already arrived, left.
A small portion of the Bai Family troops remained to protect Xiao Jinxing, Bai Mowan, and the others.
Pang Nan did not accompany Xiaowu.
He returned to Xiao Jinxing’s side and said urgently, "Prince, your subordinate will take you and General Bai back to my residence to treat General Bai’s injuries."
"Good," Xiao Jinxing nodded.
At that moment, he directly scooped Bai Mowan up from the ground.
Bai Mowan couldn’t help but grab onto Xiao Jinxing’s clothes; the security his chest provided warmed her heart.
