In the dark forest, the snow reflected the moonlight and the warm light from the torches. Qin Yining could clearly see Tian Jizi's situation.
The arrow in her back had hit her waist, which was a vital point. The puncture wound on her thigh had also damaged her blood vessels. Her blood stained the snow like a red lotus.
Qin Yining's tears suddenly welled up.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm a troublemaker. It's my fault. Don't talk anymore. I'll save you. I'll definitely save you."
She struggled to stand up and shouted with all her might, "Bing Tang, Bing Tang!"
However, the forest was very big, and the situation in front of them was chaotic. The sound of weapons clashing and shouting was endless. Bing Tang was hidden in the southeast, so it was impossible for them to hear it for a while.
Tian Jizi rolled her eyes and scolded weakly, "What are you shouting for? Are you afraid that the pursuers won't be able to find you?"
"But you …"
"I have medicine in my arms." Tian Jizi became even weaker after saying a few words.
Qin Yining hurried forward and supported Tian Jizi's side with difficulty. He rubbed her chest.
First, he took out a loose oiled paper bag. Inside it was a biscuit with bacon. Then, he pulled out a tightly wrapped oiled paper bag. It was obviously a drumstick.
Tian Jizi curled her lips and watched as Qin Yining pulled out five oiled paper bags containing snacks from her arms. Then, he took out a small porcelain bottle.
Qin Yining didn't care about anything else. He uncorked the bottle and poured the contents into Tian Jizi's mouth.
"It's too, too bitter!"
"This is your life-saving medicine. You have to take it even if it's bitter!"
The Tian Jizi weakly swallowed the medicine and lay on the ground. She couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be that I'm destined to face this calamity? You're a variable and troublesome person. It's all your fault. If, if it weren't for you, I would still have a few more decades. A few more decades to eat and drink and live a carefree and happy life. It's all because of you.
"It's my fault. I've implicated you. Save your energy. I'll definitely get Bing Tang to save you!"
"Bah! I, I don't believe you. You must, must want me to kick my leg right now! "
The Tian Jizi said through gritted teeth. Then, his voice weakened. His head tilted and he fell into the snow.
Qin Yining choked with sobs and did not dare to check Tian Jizi's breathing.
It was the same again. It was the same every time. Last time, Sakurai had died for her. Now, someone was trying to save her …
She wasn't any nobler than anyone else. Why did she have to rely on someone else's sacrifice to save her life? Tian Jizi was indeed strange and calculative. She didn't care about Pang Xiao's wishes and was determined to push Pang Xiao onto the throne. In order to achieve her goal, she was indeed unscrupulous.
But why did she base her survival on Tian Jizi's sacrifice? Moreover, she was Mu Jinghu's master.
"Princess, how are you?"
The battle on the steep slope had come to an end. Tang Xiu slid down nimbly with her men. When she saw that there was an arrow in Qin Yining's right shoulder blade and her clothes were stained with blood, her heart pounded.
Qin Yining shook his head with a pale face. "I'm fine. Quick, carry Tian Jizi. Let's go find Bing Tang and the others."
"Yes." Tang Xiu immediately ordered Jinghu Wei to carry Tian Jizi. She apologized and supported Qin Yining as they walked in the direction she had pointed out.
Qin Yining took off the belt on her outer robe and hastily tied it around her right shoulder to stop the bleeding. However, she was too tired and had not recovered from her illness. She was still seeing black.
She was holding on with her last breath. She hadn't seen the safety of her children. She hadn't let Bing Tang treat Tian Jizi. She couldn't lose consciousness at this time.
Tang Xiu supported Qin Yining. She felt that her footsteps were getting heavier and heavier. She was also getting more and more worried.
"Princess, please hold on a little longer."
Qin Yining felt like there were hundreds and thousands of flies flying around her ears. After a long time, she realized that Tang Xiu was talking to her. She forced herself to nod and comforted, "It's fine. I can still hold on."
Tang Xiu saw Qin Yining's appearance and became even more worried. "Princess, sorry." He handed his sword to his comrade and picked up Qin Yining.
Qin Yining's world spun before she was picked up by Tang Xiu. This action caused some blood to flow out of her shoulder. It made a sound when it landed on the snow.
At this time, there was no time to care about the etiquette between men and women. Saving people was more important. Tang Xiu picked up her pace as she carried Qin Yining. The other people carrying Tian Jizi also picked up their pace.
Qin Yining gradually lost her strength. She could no longer straighten her neck and stop herself from leaning against Tang Xiu. She slowly closed her eyes. Her entire body was filled with a bone-chilling cold. It was like someone had stuffed a large ice cube into her heart. She even felt that her eyebrows and hair were about to freeze.
Tang Xiu felt Qin Yining's body go completely limp. She lowered her head and saw that she had fainted. She was almost scared out of her wits.
"Hurry and find someone! Bing Tang! Sir Xie! "
"Bing Tang! Ji Yun, where are you! "
"Sir Xie, where are you!"
… …
Everyone searched in the direction Qin Yining had pointed out. They were anxiously shouting for help. Very quickly, they heard some rustling sounds not far in front of them. Following that, Xie Yue's voice was heard: "Is that Tang Xiu?"
"That's me!" Tang Xiu replied loudly. She carried Qin Yining and ran over, "Where's Bing Tang? Hurry and let Princess take a look! Princess Consort is injured! "
When they heard that Qin Yining was injured, the people who were hiding in the tree hole jumped in fright and crawled out one after another.
They were originally skeptical of what Tian Jizi had said. They thought that the door of life and the direction might just be a casual remark. However, they did not expect that Xie Yue would lead everyone in the direction Tian Jizi had pointed out. They really found the hidden tree hole!
They hid themselves and listened to the sounds of fighting in the distance. They waited anxiously for the news.
Who knew that they would receive the news that Qin Yining was injured!
Ji Yun was the first to rush over.
When Tang Xiu saw Ji Yun, she couldn't help but grin: "Ji Yun, how are you?"
"I'm fine." When Ji Yun saw that half of Qin Yining's body was covered in blood and that there was an arrowhead sticking out of his shoulder, her tears fell: "How did this happen! I should have followed Princess Consort! How did she get injured like this! "
Tang Xiu hurriedly put down Qin Yining. Bing Tang hurriedly came over to check. He tore open Qin Yining's clothes and inserted a few needles near her shoulder through her inner clothes.
"This won't do. We have to find a clean and warm place to remove the arrow for Princess Consort."
"Miss Bing Tang, take a look at her situation. She blocked the arrow for Princess Consort just now. Princess Consort has been anxiously asking you to save her. "The other two Jinghu Wei placed Tian Jizi on the ground.
Bing Tang's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly went to take a look. When she saw the location of the arrow, her tears fell.
"Shizun …"
Back in Dayan, Prince Ning had sent her to the Fairy Lady Temple. She had been Tian Jizi's disciple for a few days and received Tian Jizi's protection. Although their positions were different now, Bing Tang would never forget this kindness.
Ji Yun said anxiously, "Bing Tang, how is Fairy Lady?"
Bing Tang sniffled. "Her situation is not good." He turned around to look at the Jinghu Wei. "Can we find a place nearby? Princess Consort and Fairy Lady's injuries need to be treated as soon as possible."
"Liu Village is up ahead."
"But Princess Consort and Fairy Lady can't take it anymore."
"Why don't we do it here?" Xie Yue turned around and pointed at the tree hole where they had been hiding. "Although it's a little short, it's not a problem for two people to lie down."
The situation was urgent, and there was no time to choose a place. Bing Tang thought for a while and nodded.
Master Zhong hurriedly took off his cotton cloak and laid it on the ground of the tree hole. Xie Yue also took off her cloak. Tang Xiu and the others went to find dry branches and lit a fire outside the hole.
Everyone bent over and carried Tian Jizi and Qin Yining in. Bing Tang and Ji Yun then bent over and went in. Ji Yun helped Bing Tang by lighting the lantern.
At this time, the battle between Jing Zhe and the others had come to an end. The Jingji Guards who had been chasing after them had all been killed, and there were more than ten people on Qin Yining's side who had suffered different degrees of injuries. They helped each other to the tree hole where Qin Yining was.
Other than the dozen people that Tian Jizi had brought, everyone knew each other. They greeted each other and asked about Qin Yining's situation with concern.
Tang Xiu whispered, "Princess Consort and Fairy Lady are both injured. Bing Tang is currently treating them. The situation is still unclear. "
Upon hearing that Tian Jizi was injured, the dozen men changed their relaxed and lazy attitude and stood up. "What! Sect Leader is injured?! "
It turned out that these people were from the Tian Ji Sect.
The man in the lead stood up and bowed to Tang Xiu, Xie Yue, and the others.
"Fang Hailing greets you."
"Young Hero Fang greets you." Xie Yue returned the greeting.
"May I ask how is Sect Leader's situation?"
Xie Yue sighed and said, "Just now, I heard from Bing Tang that Fairy Lady had two arrow wounds, one of which was a vital point. Her situation is not optimistic."
Fang Hailing and the man in black behind her were silent. They hung their heads as if they had been hit by frost.
Xie Yue, Master Zhong, and Liao Zhibing originally did not have a good impression of Tian Jizi. However, this time, Tian Jizi had fallen into such a situation because she had blocked an arrow for Princess Consort. Everyone was more or less concerned about her and felt guilty. The atmosphere was very oppressive.
Tang Xiu and the others used a container to boil snow water and sent it into the tree hole for Bing Tang to use. Not long after, the blood water would be poured out and new water would be poured in.
After more than six hours, the sky was about to brighten. Bing Tang came out of the tree hole with the help of Ji Yun.
At this time, everyone was so tired that they leaned on each other and took a few naps. Hearing the movement, Xie Yue was the first to open her eyes.
"Miss Bing Tang, how is it?"
Bing Tang said, "The situation has stabilized for the time being, but it's not optimistic. We should immediately find a safe place to let Wangfei and Xiangu rest. It's inconvenient to do anything in this wilderness, and we don't have any medicinal herbs."
"That's right." The wet nurse sitting by the bonfire also said, "Little Miss and Little Young Master can't stand being tossed around like this." Although the two wet nurses held the children in their arms and wore the cloaks given by Jinghu Wei, the children were still in swaddling clothes. How could they stand the cold environment?
