"Your Majesty, Mr. Si, the cotton wool has been found, what should I do..." The guard came down with a rope, and when he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the cave, and subconsciously closed his mouth.

He looked at the two of them, and carefully handed over the cotton wool in his hand.

Si Jin coughed and took the cotton wadding: "I'll do it."

The cotton wool was really thick, after Si Jin took it, she walked to Murong Qi's side: "Your Majesty, I have a look at the wound."

The guards were at the entrance of the cave, and Si Jin's address to Murong Qi changed from the previous "you and me" to a normal monarch and minister.

Murong Qi didn't say much, he turned around and exposed his back in front of Si Jin.

Before the guards found them, Si Jin knew that Murong Qi's wound was serious, but he had never looked at Murong Qi's wound carefully. Now he looked carefully at the light outside the cave, only to find that Murong Qi's wound was worse than he imagined. Much more serious.

The wound was very long, and it should have been cut with a knife. The blood stains on the scabs had soaked through, so it was impossible to tell how deep the wound was.

Just looking at the part of the wound that still exists after the scab has turned outward, you can imagine what the wound was like when it first appeared, and you don't know how much blood was bleeding at that time.

Si Jin gripped his heart, stretched out his hand carefully, and tried to tie the cotton wool around Murong Qi's waist, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't guarantee that he would not strangle the wound after he tied the hemp rope later.

"Tie it up, it's okay." Murong Qi said in a deep voice.

"But..." Si Jin frowned, still hesitating.

If the injured person was himself, he probably wouldn't have dawdled like this, and he might not have even asked the guards to find the cotton wool at first, but just tied the rope casually and went up.

Murong Qi sensed Si Jin's intentions, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Ai Qing, my safety depends on you."

Si Jin looked at him and pursed her lips: "I will definitely try my best."

The cotton wool that the guards found was indeed thick. Si Jin carefully observed the wound on Murong Qi's back, picked up the rope on the ground, and tried to tie the rope to the cotton wool, while making sure that the rope would not affect Murong Qi when he went up later, okay? Wounds that scab easily.

After tying for a while, Si Jin tied one of the ropes that helped Murong Qi at the same time to her body, and then pulled out another rope to tie the two of them together.

"Don't use too much force later." Si Jin said, carefully watching Murong Qi's expression.

Murong Qi just smiled: "Okay."

The rope tied two people, and the pulling force on the top of the mountain must increase. After Si Jin tied it up, she turned her head and told the guards: "It's troublesome, no matter what, you have to go to the top of the mountain as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master Si, I must order everyone to do their best." The guard said, and went up to the top of the mountain first.

A thick hemp rope is more than enough to pull one person, and the strength of two people can bear it, but for the sake of safety, Si Jin still tied two ropes around himself and Murong Qi.

After the guard left, Si Jin looked at Murong Qi: "Put as much pressure on me as possible later, and I'll take you up."

The two were tied together by a rope, and they were close to each other, and part of the force of the rope would also fall on Si Jin.

Murong Qi raised his arms to hug him: "After returning to the palace, will you and I return to the relationship between monarch and minister?"

Si Jin pursed her lips, obviously when she was with Murong Qi before, she could still call him "Chen", but since the two of them fell off the cliff, his address to Murong Qi has changed.

Si Jin said softly: "Go up first and then talk."

Murong Qi leaned on him: "Uncomfortable—"

Si Jin's heart tightened: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Murong Qi's voice was low: "I feel uncomfortable."

Before the cave, Murong Qi had always been used to facing Si Jin with a strong attitude, even though he was gentle, he was also strong. It wasn't until he fell into the cave that he discovered Si Jin's nature of being soft rather than hard.

As Murong Qi expected, it was indeed difficult for Si Jin to reject Murong Qi's opinion when he was weak, let alone using such a tone.

He sighed in his heart: "Go up first, and we'll talk about it when we have something to do."

Murong Qi wanted to say something more, but suddenly there was a warm touch on his lips.

Si Jin backed away slightly, the emotion in his eyes was more serious than ever, and his eyes directly touched Murong Qi's: "Is this kind of promise enough?"

Murong Qi hugged him tightly and chuckled softly: "Enough."

True or not, such promises are enough.

Si Jin didn't speak anymore, but just lowered her head to deal with the rope tied to the two of them, and after confirming that there was no problem, she pulled the rope hard.

This is a hint that has been set before. While he is pulling the rope, the people above will pull the rope up vigorously, thus pulling the two people tied to the rope to the top of the mountain.

The ropes on both of them are almost tied to their waists and legs. While fixing them, there will be no inconvenience in movement, which is convenient for them to climb up.

Si Jin and Murong Qi soon reached the entrance of the cave, climbing up the rocks little by little.

During the period, Murong Qi wanted to use force several times, but Si Jin refused.

"No, the injury on your back is too serious. Once you use force, it will easily collapse. I don't want to see you get hurt again, so don't move, okay?" Si Jin said forcefully, using all the strength on Murong Qi's body as much as possible. Press yourself.

"En." Murong Qi agreed, but still exerted force when Si Jin didn't notice.

No matter how serious his injuries are, he will not leave all the pressure to Si Jin alone.

Both of them were concerned about each other's situation, and Si Jin's mind was even more distracted, and he didn't notice that there were really only two people when they went up the mountain.

It stands to reason that the guards chased them all the way, there must be a lot of people, and the guards have received strict training, and they are agile and powerful.

If this is to send two or three guards down to support the two of them to go up, they will go up much faster, and the possibility of Murong Qi getting injured will also be reduced.

But the guards all seemed to have lost their minds, and they were all waiting on the top of the mountain for the two of them to move up little by little, completely unexpected that a few people would come down to help.

As the previous guards said, from the top of the mountain to the cave, you only need to descend all the way, and the speed can be very fast, but from the cave to the top of the mountain, the movement will become very slow.

Si Jin was only thinking about going up the mountain as soon as possible, but no one else thought about it. After a while, her body became sticky, especially her back, which was already soaked with sweat.

There was even more sweat on his forehead. The sweat had almost condensed into solid drops. Big drops of sweat dripped down and fell into his eyes several times. The irritating eyes were very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after a few minutes, the two finally saw the shadow of the mountain top.

The guards waiting on top also sped up their movements, struggling to pull the two up.

Finally, the two reached the top of the mountain and stood firm.

Si Jin didn't have time to feel her own physical condition, so she quickly tore off the ropes on herself and Murong Qi, and then carefully peeled off the cotton wool behind Murong Qi's back bit by bit.

The cotton wool is wrapped with clean cloth, the main function is to separate the friction with the rope, and it does not directly contact the wound.

Si Jin uncovered all the cotton wool and cloth, and some blood scabs were torn out from the area where the cloth was tightly attached to the wound. There was not much blood oozing from the scabbed wound, but it was very eye-catching.

Si Jin looked at the bright red blood in front of her eyes. Under the normal light, the blood seemed to be even brighter red, making the wound even more hideous.

Although protective measures had been taken, blood still oozes out. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Murong Qi sensed Si Jin's emotions, and pulled him to him: "Don't look at it, you always look at my wounds, I'll think you're looking at my wounds."

Si Jin was slightly stunned, then couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you talking about?"

"Isn't it?" Murong Qi said bluntly and intentionally, "When I was not injured before, why didn't Aiqing care about me so much? Now that I am injured, Aiqing treats me better. Looking at it this way, Aiqing Don't you see my wound?"

Listening to his words, Si Jin really didn't know how to respond, so she simply ignored him and looked at the guards beside her: "Do you have any medicine for trauma?"

The guards looked at each other and shook their heads: "My lord, the trip to find the emperor was too anxious, and I didn't bring any other things with me, let alone trauma medicine, but someone has already returned to the palace to find the imperial doctor. It won't be long before the imperial doctor will come."

Si Jin frowned, and knew that it was difficult to get the wound medicine from them. If they really had the medicine in their hands, they would have taken it out when they were still in the cave, instead of waiting until now.

Si Jin looked at the surrounding environment again. There was indeed a thatched cottage not far away, but other than that, the surrounding area was barren, and it didn't look like a house at all.

In such a place, I don't know where the guards got the cotton wool before. It must have taken a lot of effort.

"Who did it, did you find out?" Si Jin asked, wanting to know who was behind the scenes.

One of the guards took the initiative to step forward: "Master Huisi, the subordinates have been searching carefully for this matter, but the people behind it are too cunning, and there is no clue for the time being. I will definitely live up to my trust and do my best to find out the truth of the matter .”

Si Jin frowned, but she didn't doubt him, but felt that there was such a force hiding in the dark and had to be vigilant.

"Are you with the person who assassinated before?" Si Jin asked.

The guard was slightly surprised, and lowered his head: "Master Huisi, last time those people committed suicide after the assassination, this incident may really have something to do with them."

Si Jin said with emotion: "The people behind it are really plotting something wrong."

Murong Qi said with a sullen face: "Go and investigate, you must find out this matter, otherwise what is the use of you?"

As soon as his words fell, he knelt down in front of him: "This subordinate is guilty."

Si Jin supported him, with a bit of worry in his eyes: "You are injured, so you shouldn't get angry. We will discuss this matter after the imperial doctor handles it and return to the palace. Since the people behind are so cautious, it is impossible to be easily found out."

Murong Qi's face was still a bit ugly: "There is nothing here, let's spread out."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

The guards responded one by one, got up and scattered.

What else did Si Jin want to say, the guards had already left, so they should be waiting outside to take care of them.

After thinking about it, he also felt that there was nothing to say, so he supported Murong Qi's arm: "Go sit in the thatched cottage and rest for a while, the imperial doctor should come soon."

Murong Qi nodded, and took the initiative to put some of his strength on Si Jin.

As expected, Si Jin was more careful in helping her.

There was nothing in the thatched hut, only a simple wooden bed, and the wooden bed was rotten. It must have been built for a long time, and it rotted like this because no one took care of it.

There are indeed traces of people coming and going inside.

Si Jin helped Murong Qi sit down, but did not loosen his brows: "I don't know who it is, so bold that he dared to attack in the capital."

Murong Qi held his hand: "It's because I have indulged them too much these years."

Although the kidnapping was fake, the previous assassination was real, and there was indeed someone behind the scenes who wanted to put him to death.

Originally, he was too lazy to care about it, and he was afraid that he would kill too many people. He accidentally killed someone Si Jin might possess, and missed his beloved.

Now that Si Jin has come back, he doesn't need to restrain himself anymore.

"Forget about that, right now I just hope that the imperial doctor will come as soon as possible, the wound is more important." Si Jin said, compared with the untraceable mastermind behind the scenes, he was more worried about Murong Qi's body.

Murong Qi raised his eyes to look at him: "When Zhen's injury heals, Ai Qing might as well move to Weiyang Palace."

Si Jin coughed violently: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Murong Qi was rather regretful: "Oh——"

Si Jin gritted her teeth and made up her mind that she would never make another promise.
