Since Hua Siyun fell in love with Feng Xingzhi, she had laid down all her pride for him.
However, Feng Xingzhi's repeated rejections had broken her heart.
"You!" Hua Siyun looked at Ji Yunxi, who was clean, while Feng Xingzhi had a wound on his shoulder. Clearly, if Ji Yunxi had made a move just now, Feng Xingzhi wouldn't have gotten hurt!
The pent - up anger clogged her chest. Unable to hold it back any longer, Hua Siyun roared with tears streaming down her face, "Ji Yunxi! Why didn't you make a move just now!"
Everyone stared at her in shock.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to watch him die for you? How could you be so selfish? He came down because of you. During the arena competition before, he didn't hesitate to block the sword for you. And what about you!"
Ji Yunxi paused for a moment and didn't say a word.
Thinking Ji Yunxi was feeling guilty, Hua Siyun became even more aggressive, "You like him, don't you? You're so powerful. How could you bear to watch him get hurt..."
The guards looked at each other, feeling awkward. They didn't know how to respond.
The little princess was in a fit of anger and speaking without restraint. Should they step forward to stop her or not?
After venting, Hua Siyun finally realized she had overstepped. She glanced at Ji Yunxi, her eyes red, and said, "Although I don't know why you refused to act just now and almost killed Brother Xingzhi, I don't want this to happen again."
Feng Xingzhi's face was cold. Not to mention that he had volunteered to fight Ji Yuyan, but more importantly, Hua Siyun didn't know the whole story. What right did she have to stand on a high ground and criticize Xi Xi's actions?
"Princess, I wonder if I wasn't clear enough. My relationship with Xi Xi is our own business. It's none of your concern. Moreover, princess, you've overstepped your bounds."
Hua Siyun's hands trembled. She knew Feng Xingzhi would never say anything nice about her!
Ji Yunxi remained silent. She treated Feng Xingzhi's wound, checked the casualties of the guards, and then said to Hua Siyun, "Get things in order and prepare to take them back."
The white - robed person had been standing aside watching. After seeing that Ji Yunxi had arranged everything, she stepped forward and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Ji Yunxi didn't want to tell her at first, but then she suddenly thought that this person was very capable. Maybe it would be better to ask for her help than to search on her own.
Moreover, Ji Yunxi felt that this person would surely help her. The reason was simple. If she died, everything this person wanted would naturally disappear.
So she looked up at the white - robed person and said, "I'm going to continue looking for Fuxue Grass and other medicinal herbs."
Sure enough, the white - robed person frowned upon hearing this and asked, "What do you need these things for?"
Ji Yunxi's eyes were unfathomable as she replied, "To make medicine."
The white - robed person immediately understood. This medicine Ji Yunxi was making was probably for herself. She wasn't interested in what medicine Ji Yunxi was taking or what illness she was treating. There was only one thing she cared about, and that was this person must not die.
"If there's anything I can do to help, you can tell me." After thinking for a moment, the white - robed person reluctantly agreed to help.
Ji Yunxi pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It's just looking for some medicinal herbs."
The white - robed person snorted and said, "Do you think I care about you? I only care that you don't die."
Ji Yunxi was about to say something else when she suddenly felt Feng Xingzhi tugging at her. She turned her head and saw his look, suddenly remembering the prescription she had seen in a book before. It turned out that there was really one medicinal herb she needed this person's help to find.
It was better to use her help than not.
"I also need a medicinal herb called Hanjuezi."
The white - robed person nodded and said, "Got it."
She agreed immediately, seemingly not caring at all how rare this medicinal herb was.
"Protect your own life." With these words, the white - robed person turned around and disappeared into the snow.
Hua Siyun was protected by the guards on one side. Her red eyes hadn't faded yet, and she still looked at the two of them defiantly.
Feng Xingzhi and Ji Yunxi didn't take it seriously and ignored her.
Helping Feng Xingzhi stand up, Ji Yunxi noticed that his wound was aching slightly. Sure enough, that sword was a divine weapon, so the wound couldn't heal as quickly as an ordinary sword wound.
"A Zhi, are you okay?"
Feng Xingzhi gave a faint smile with his pale lips and said, "Xi Xi, I'm not that weak. Don't worry."
Looking at Ji Yuyan's corpse on the ground, he suddenly asked, "What about her?"
Ji Yunxi knew that Feng Xingzhi must have noticed that she had hesitated because of Ji Yuyan's call of "sister" before. She was a bit silent. After a long while, she said, "In my past life, I really regarded her as my younger sister."
Feng Xingzhi's arm was half - resting on Ji Yunxi's shoulder. Seeing this, he gathered his arm and pulled her into his embrace.
"Xi Xi..."
"But she killed me without any affection. In this life, she also killed Father. I can't forgive her just because of a moment of regret before her death." Ji Yunxi felt sour in her heart. "Let her stay here. I hope she can be a pure person in her next life."
The snow began to fall. Ji Yunxi said, "I'm afraid a heavy snow is coming. We'd better leave quickly."
"Aren't you going to look for that thing anymore?" Hua Siyun said aggrievedly.
Ji Yunxi said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Maybe there really isn't any here. Safety comes first. Let's go first."
As they were about to leave the canyon, Ji Yunxi suddenly saw that several plants of grass were stained with blood at the place where they had fought just now, and the large patches of bloodstains were actually gradually disappearing.
After these plants of grass swallowed the blood, they turned from white to blood - red.
"A Zhi, look!"
Feng Xingzhi was also very surprised. He exchanged a look with Ji Yunxi.
"Could this be the Fuxue Grass?" she asked in disbelief.
Feng Xingzhi was already ready to pick it up and said, "Anyway, let's take it back first. We'll know if it is when we see Jiang Linyin."
After getting this plant of grass, everyone returned to the cliff before going down the mountain without much effort.
However, the guards who had stayed there were looking extremely anxious.
Seeing Hua Siyun, the guard couldn't wait to say, "Princess, urgent news!"
Hua Siyun's heart skipped a beat. She felt a bit uneasy and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty suddenly fell seriously ill and fainted. Please return to the city immediately, princess!"
Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi had originally planned to go directly to look for the next medicinal herb, but they were both shocked when they heard this news.
"His Majesty fainted?!" Ji Yunxi's voice was even louder than Hua Siyun's.
Without time to verify other things, everyone rode their fast horses and galloped all the way. They planned to return to the city directly without taking a break.
Ji Yunxi was worried about Hua Qi'an, so she had to put aside the matter of looking for medicinal herbs for the time being.
"A Zhi, let's wait a while. Let's go back to the Northern Di Palace first to see His Majesty's situation."
"I know, but I'm worried about you..." Feng Xingzhi frowned slightly. He knew that Hua Qi'an was very important to Ji Yunxi, but he was also worried about Ji Yunxi's health.
Looking at his worried eyes, Ji Yunxi smiled reassuringly and said, "It's okay."
