Mo Yu and Mo Yuan's hearts finally settled down at this moment. The cloak had already started to catch fire. Xiao Huayong quickly threw it into the woods. The few of them rushed out for a distance, and only stopped when they were sure that they would not be surrounded by the fire again.
Shen Xihe turned her head and asked Xiao Huayong who was lying on her back: "Are you okay?"
"I'm not injured, don't worry." Xiao Huayong comforted Shen Xihe, but his voice was obviously a little hoarse, probably because of the injury to his larynx.
"Are you burned?" This is what Shen Xihe is most concerned about.
"No." Xiao Huayong answered firmly.
Shen Xihe did not waste any time and immediately whipped his whip to leave this dangerous place. The longer he stayed, the more danger he would face.
When they returned to Tingzhou, the battle of Tingzhou had already ended. It cannot be said to have ended, but the location had shifted. Shen Yun'an led his men to chase and kill the Turkic army all the way, and this time they would not stop until they reached the Turkish king's tent.
After returning to the Protectorate, he avoided being seen and heard and entered the room where Xiao Huayong's double was lying. Zhenzhu was already waiting there. Shen Xihe ordered, "Quick, go and see how His Highness is doing."
Zhenzhu didn't dare to delay because Xiao Huayong had already fainted. She looked at her master who was pursing his lips and seemed to have no major emotional fluctuations. She glanced at Shen Xihe's clenched fingertips which were turning white. She knew that her master was on the verge of extreme endurance and restraint, so she checked Xiao Huayong's pulse with trepidation.
Xiao Huayong's injuries were not serious and only required simple treatment. What was serious was that he had exhausted his strength and was in a state of exhaustion. Fortunately, his tendons and veins were not injured, but... the poison seemed to have started to spread again.
"Ah Xi, quickly give His Highness acupuncture." Fortunately, Shen Xihe brought Ah Xi with him, and Zhenzhu quickly made way for him. "I say, you give the acupuncture to Zhongfu, Tianxi, Zhourong..."
As Zhenzhu spoke, Sui Axi inserted the needle quickly and accurately. After the acupuncture was completed, Sui Axi checked Xiao Huayong's pulse himself. After taking the pulse, his face was solemn. He looked at Shen Xihe who was staring at him. Shen Xihe, who always loved cleanliness, now had stains on her skirt and her hair was a little messy. Since she brought Xiao Huayong in, she never left, not even to wash.
Sui Ah Xi knew how worried Shen Xihe was, so he could only tell the truth: "Crown Princess, the poison in your Highness' body seems to be spreading. I have suppressed it again, but it is like a beast out of a cage. Once it breaks free, it will be easier to break free again. Originally, the poison in your Highness' body could be suppressed for three to five years, but now I am afraid it can only be suppressed for three years at most..."
Xiao Huayong exerted all his strength this time, causing his internal organs to become weaker. The toxins took the opportunity to erode his vitality, further damaging it.
His face was slightly pale, but Shen Xihe's tone was still calm: "I understand. Treat the injury of His Highness. I'll go wash up."
When Shen Xihe walked out of the room, he saw Xie Yunhuai coming in hurriedly.
Xie Yunhuai followed Shen Xihe secretly after he came to Tingzhou, and later settled in an inn in Tingzhou.
"I'll go see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The two of them nodded in greeting. Xie Yunhuai saw Shen Xihe's embarrassment from afar, so he did not stop.
Shen Xihe did not stop either. She quickly took a shower and changed her clothes, then returned to Xiao Huayong's room. At this time, Xiao Huayong had woken up, but this time he no longer needed to pretend to be weak, but was really weak.
