Xie Jingan flinched, retracting his hand in alarm.
Could it be!
Qin Yun's chest had been injured before?
That was why it was wrapped in cloth?
But it was wrapped so tightly!
Not only did the wound not heal, it seemed to have swollen!
Never mind!
It was all his fault that she got hurt!
He should unwrap it first and apply medicine to her!
Fortunately, he always carried styptic medicine with him!
Xie Jingan thought, as he was helping, he might as well apply medicine to Qin Yun's injured chest as well!
So, he untied the knot of the wrapping cloth. Holding Qin Yun's waist, he began to unwind it circle by circle.
When the wrapping cloth was halfway unwrapped!
Xie Jingan's hand stopped abruptly!
Qin Yun's chest?
It wasn't injured!
She was... a woman?
Xie Jingan began to panic!
Qin Yun was a woman, a woman...!
With this realization, his heart was in turmoil!
He finally understood what the wrapping cloth on Qin Yun's chest was for!
Fortunately, he hadn't completely removed it, otherwise he would truly have become a hooligan!
Xie Jingan's hands trembled as he re-tied the wrapping cloth for Qin Yun.
Then, he forced himself to maintain composure.
He forced himself to focus his attention on the arrow wound.
He was not a doctor, let alone a royal physician!
If Qin Yun were a man, he would have pulled the arrow out directly!
But since Qin Yun was a woman, pulling the arrow would be very painful, and he felt some reluctance.
So, he tore off a corner of his robe and wiped away the blood around the wound.
Then he opened the styptic medicine and sprinkled it on the wound.
The styptic medicine took effect quickly, and the wound stopped bleeding.
Seeing this, Xie Jingan finally felt relieved.
Then he helped Qin Yun put on her clothes, restoring everything to how it was.
Looking at the unconscious Qin Yun,
Xie Jingan's heart was extremely complicated.
He had never imagined that Qin Yun would be a woman!
She was small and delicate, and he had thought she was just shorter than other men of her age. He hadn't expected her true identity to be that of a woman!
Xie Jingan stared intently at Qin Yun.
The more he looked, the more familiar she seemed, and the more he felt something was amiss.
He reached out his right hand.
And covered Qin Yun's mouth and nose with his palm.
With this obstruction, only the upper half of Qin Yun's face was visible.
Seeing this!
Xie Jingan's heart skipped a beat!
His heart was in disarray!
It was a mix of complexity, heartache, and joy!
Was Qin Yun that mysterious woman?
She was the one he had been longing for all this time!
Everyone thought he had fallen for a spy from an enemy country and advised him to let go!
He had obediently tried to let go, to forget.
Many days had passed, and he had not found that mysterious woman again.
No matter how many secret guards he sent out to search, there was no result.
Just as he was about to give up!
It was then that he discovered Qin Yun's secret!
Not only was Qin Yun a woman, but she was also the woman he liked!
The person before him was his beloved!
He would protect her well!
Xie Jingan was both surprised and overjoyed, tears almost welling up.
He had already prepared himself to give up.
And now heaven had given him this twist of fate!
This was heaven's favor towards him!
A few seconds later!
Xie Jingan suddenly thought of a serious problem!
Disguising oneself as a man was a crime of deceiving the emperor!
This was punishable by death!
If his imperial uncle found out, he would surely not tolerate such deception!
He knew his imperial uncle too well!
If one day he discovered Qin Yun's secret of disguising herself as a man, he would certainly send Qin Yun to the eighteenth level of hell and then have her dismembered by five horses!
Thinking of this, Xie Jingan became even more determined to protect Qin Yun and keep her secret!
As long as he could see her, he would be content!
Not far away!
"Young master, young master!" Xiao Ju walked towards the stream!
After waiting for Qin Yun to return with firewood for a long time, she came to look for her.
Hearing that it was Qin Yun's maid searching,
Xie Jingan leaped up!
And landed on a large tree, hiding his body in the dense foliage.
Xiao Ju called out as she walked!
From a distance, she saw a figure lying on the ground!
Xiao Ju hurried forward and ran to Qin Yun's side!
"Young master?" Xiao Ju was stunned by the scene before her!
She crouched down!
And quickly checked Qin Yun's wound!
Seeing that the wound was not bleeding, she felt a little relieved.
But her worried heart was still uneasy.
"Young master, wake up quickly, young master...?" Xiao Ju looked around, but the surroundings were extremely quiet, with no one in sight!
What to do?
She had to find a way! To bring the young master back to the center point.
Everyone was there, and the backup medicine was in the carriage!
But she was small, even half a head shorter than Qin Yun, and couldn't move Qin Yun at all!
Xie Jingan, who was in the tree, saw that the time was right!
He quietly leaped down and walked step by step to Xiao Ju's side.
"Little girl, Qin Yun is...?" Xie Jingan pretended to be surprised, acting as if he had just passed by!
Xiao Ju was startled by Xie Jingan's sudden appearance!
When she had looked around just now, there was no one there!
In just a moment, how had the Second Prince appeared beside her!
No matter anymore!
She had to save her young master first!
"Second Prince, my young master is injured, could you carry her to the carriage? We have medicine in our carriage!"
Xie Jingan nodded. "Then please step aside!"
Then Xie Jingan walked to Qin Yun's side, squatted down, scooped her up, and performed a perfect princess carry!
Xiao Ju didn't think much of it; she was naturally willing to accept help!
But she couldn't understand how Qin Yun had sustained an arrow wound!
Could it be that the Second Prince did it?
Did the Second Prince want to murder his young master?
After all, besides the Second Prince, there was no one else in the vicinity!
But if he wanted to kill his young master, why was he helping now!
The more Xiao Ju thought about it, the more confused she became!
In the end, she decided not to think about it anymore!
She would take her young master to the carriage first, and then they would make plans after her young master woke up!
All the way, Xie Jingan was very careful. Although his steps were fast, they were extremely steady!
They soon arrived at the carriage.
Xiao Ju stopped Xie Jingan outside the carriage.
After a warning, she lowered the curtain and began to examine Qin Yun's wound.
Xie Jingan was very cooperative.
At this moment, he was no longer the overbearing and tyrannical Second Prince; his face was filled with worry, and even more so with self-reproach!
It was he who had hurt Qin Yun!
Although he was a little happy to have discovered Qin Yun's little secret this time,
He found it hard to accept that the secret was revealed under such circumstances!
Soon after, Ouyang Siqing, carrying two rabbits and a pheasant, slowly approached on horseback.
Upon reaching their destination!
He threw the prey in his hand to the ground and then dismounted.
Seeing Xie Jingan pacing back and forth by the carriage, he became curious and walked over.
"Second Prince, what are you doing here?"
At this moment, from inside the carriage, "Ah!"
Qin Yun inside the carriage cried out in pain!
This cry of pain made Xie Jingan break out in a cold sweat and his heart ache even more!
Ouyang Siqing also heard Qin Yun's scream!
He frowned and was about to enter the carriage to check when
He was stopped by Xie Jingan!
"Second Prince, what do you mean by this?" Ouyang Siqing's tone was stern!
"This Prince advises you not to go in."
Ouyang Siqing did not understand and sneered. "Second Prince, I know you and Qin Yun don't get along, but you can't be so unreasonable! She's injured, I need to go and see her!"
"If you go in, you won't be able to help. That maid inside has already treated her!"
"What if I insist on going in?" Ouyang Siqing's good temper was also gone!
Upon hearing Qin Yun's scream just now, his heart had also ached.
