Chapter 225 Xinrong Goes Online

At noon, in a valley not far from Zhennan Pass, a voice asked, "Anlang, when will she wake up?"

The man called An Lang frowned and replied, "Her injuries are too severe; she'll be in a coma for at least a month..."

"Oh? It'll take that long? I heard the army is preparing to go back, so shouldn't we send her back first?" She had seen the woman lying on the bed before, so she recognized her. This was the Fifth Prince's beloved Fifth Consort, the former Princess Feiyan.

He shook his head. "Her current condition is absolutely unsuitable for long-distance travel."

"Shouldn't we at least send someone to inform them? Otherwise, they'll really think she's dead..."

The man shook his head again. "No rush, let them think that way..."

"What?" she asked, somewhat confused. "Why would you do that?"

"I have my own plans, so you don't need to ask any more questions. Xinrong, just take good care of her these days."

Xinrong pouted, "Fine, whatever you say."

Although she didn't quite understand, she knew that the man in front of her wasn't a bad person and had no ill intentions, so she didn't say anything more.

After Xinrong gave Xiaoyanzi the medicine, the two of them went out.

He looked up at the sky and whispered, "Xinrong, do you regret coming out with me like this?"

Xinrong shook her head. "Of course I don't regret it! I trust my own judgment. You are a worthy person, so everything I did was worthwhile."

She is the daughter of Guan Bao, the Left Censor-in-Chief. She is 18 years old this year. When her parents were preparing to marry her off to a powerful person for the sake of the family, she rebelled and ran away from home.

Of course, she didn't run away by herself; she ran away with her sweetheart.

The man she loved was the one beside her, whose full name was Sheng Anlang. He was just an ordinary commoner, without parents or siblings, an orphan who grew up wandering the martial arts world.

During his wanderings, Sheng Anlang learned medicine, martial arts, and cooking, which enabled him to barely make ends meet.

Given his background, Xinrong's family naturally disliked him, so Xinrong simply led her people away.

Not long after the two fled, they heard that the Qing Dynasty and Annam were going to fight, and that Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi were leading the charge. Sheng Anlang then suggested that they come and see what was going on, so that they could help the Qing army if needed.

Xinrong didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, she was also a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, and it would be a good thing if she could come and help.

What they didn't expect was that they would encounter Little Swallow at the bottom of the cliff.

-------------------------------------

That day, Little Swallow fainted after being kicked off the cliff.

She didn't fall to her death; instead, she was caught by the Annamese army.

"My goodness, even now that she's injured, you can still see how beautiful her face is. No wonder our prince can't forget her."

"If this weren't the woman the prince had taken a fancy to, I'd really like to have a taste of her..."

"Taste my foot! Didn't you see the wounds on her body?"

"That's terrible. Those people up there don't even know how to be gentle with women..."

"The prince has warned us that this woman is extremely cunning. If they show her any mercy, they'll be the ones who die..."

"But I think those people in those positions didn't end up well either..."

“I just peeked over from the side, and all those people up there are dead, not a single one alive.”

"We're lucky. If they had shown mercy, she might have come down and killed us instead..."

"Alright, let the military doctor treat her first."

Because Li Chengyun had previously instructed that if Xiao Yanzi's injuries were too severe, she should be treated first; otherwise, by the time Xiao Yanzi was carried back, she might already be dead.

A female military doctor found a clean cave, told them to put the little swallow on a blanket, and then told them all to wait outside.

"No, what's wrong with me checking? I didn't touch her..."

"Don't you want your eyes anymore? That's the woman the prince wants, do you dare look at her?"

"To be honest, Your Highness is really something... A married woman, especially one who has given birth, is nowhere near as good as a virgin..."

"What nonsense are you spouting? How dare you speak of the Prince's affairs? Do you have a death wish?"

"It's not just us saying this; the prince's personal guard is saying it too. He heard that when the prince took a liking to her, she wasn't married yet. At the time, he advised the prince that if he liked her, he should hurry up and make his move. But the prince said that he would only appear after she was heartbroken by this Fifth Prince..."

"Then, I don't know how, it turned out like this..."

Everyone was puzzled by this, but they only dared to discuss it in private and did not dare to bring it up in front of Li Chengyun.

They waited a long time before the female military doctor finished treating Xiao Yanzi's injuries. "I've treated her wounds, but they're too severe, so she needs to rest and recover properly, otherwise she'll die soon..."

After the female military doctor cleaned Xiao Yanzi up, Xiao Yanzi's face became clearer.

Some people were eager to make a move, but they dared not act rashly because of Li Chengyun's power.

The female military doctor left after completing her treatment of Xiao Yanzi. What Xiao Yanzi would encounter afterward was not something a military doctor could control, especially since she was from an enemy country.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yanzi lying on the blanket. She had been dressed in their Annamite clothes, which better showcased her voluptuous figure. However, the various bandages on Xiao Yanzi's body were really dampening their spirits.

"I'll just touch it, just to feel what it's like..." An extremely lewd man reached his hand towards the area below Xiao Yanzi's neck, but before she could touch it, Sheng Anlang and Xinrong sensed it.

"You guys are really bold!" Sheng Anlang looked coldly at the Annamese soldiers, as if they were already dead.

"Who are you? How dare you ruin our plans?"

"The one who sent you to meet the King of Hell." Sheng Anlang killed them in a flash, leaving only one person behind. "Tell me, what is your purpose? If you don't tell me, I have many ways to make you wish you were dead."

"I said, my lord took a fancy to this woman, so he plotted to have her poisoned and lose her memory. Afterwards, he had a group of people attack her, forcing her off a cliff. He told us to wait below and take her back. From then on, she became my lord's queen, and her past life had nothing to do with him anymore..."

Upon hearing these words, Sheng Anlang's anger flared even more. "That Li Chengyun! How disgusting! If I ever run into him, I'll make him pay!"

But the most important thing right now is to save Xiao Yanzi's life.

Xinrong was too weak to carry Xiaoyanzi, so when they returned to the valley, it was Sheng Anlang who carried her back.

At first, Xinrong was a little jealous. "You seem to care about her a lot?"

"She's the Fifth Prince's wife, why would I care about her? Do I want to die?"

"But your eyes don't lie, you know her! You came here with me because of her, didn't you!"

Sheng Anlang smiled helplessly, "You're really being sensitive, but she's my master, how could I not save her?"

"What? Master?" Xinrong was confused. "How could she be your master? Aren't you all alone?"

"That's just an excuse to cover up my true identity when I'm out in the world. It's true that I'm an orphan without parents, but after I became her subordinate, I was no longer alone."

"Meeting you was an accident, and falling in love with you was also an accident, but I have no regrets. The only thing I feel guilty about is that I couldn't get your father's permission before leaving with you."

Xinrong smiled and said, "If she is your master, then it's different. My father will definitely agree."
