Chapter 222 Song Yi is awake
As the night deepened, Song Wan returned to the cave to check his father's injuries again and changed the medicine for his father. Then he walked towards Jun Jiuchen, who was leaning against the side of the cave and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.
She sat down next to Jun Jiuchen very naturally, and then...
Without any warning, she rested her head on his arm.
Jun Jiuchen's tightly closed eyelids moved, then he opened his eyes and looked down at her, only to see that she had closed her eyes peacefully.
She looked like she was planning to fall asleep leaning against him.
The long eyelashes cast a shadow in the firelight.
"Song Wan!"
A voice with a hint of warning sounded in Song Wan's ears.
But she seemed not to hear it, just changed into a comfortable position, even put her arms around his arms and leaned closer to him.
Jun Jiuchen's body tensed up a bit, and he moved his arms as if he wanted to raise his hands to wave her away, but perhaps because of the injuries on his body, Song Wan still leaned steadily on his arms.
He spoke softly with a hint of fatigue in his voice.
"Your Highness, I'm tired... I just need to lean on you for a while..."
"If Prime Minister Song wakes up, Your Majesty, remember to call me."
Jun Jiuchen listened to the soft words that were almost like coquettishness, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it in the end.
But his complexion became even darker.
He stared at the top of her head fiercely for a long while, until he heard the sound of even breathing, and then his tense body relaxed a little as if in compromise.
Well, now that we are in a special situation, I will let her go for once. After we return to Beijing...
After returning to Beijing.
He would never allow her to be so presumptuous again...
Thinking of this, Jun Jiuchen closed his eyes again and did not notice that the corner of the woman's mouth leaning on her arm silently curved into a shallow arc.
Because Uncle Fu said that he was paranoid and wanted to kill someone he hated, she was extra careful. In addition, because of the absurd dreams she had in the past two days, she was actually a little afraid of him.
But since she confessed her identity to him, she found that those fears seemed to disappear suddenly.
because……
She seemed to know how to "deal with" this person in the future...
……
Song Yi woke up at dawn the next day.
The cave was very quiet at that time. Except for the black-armored guards who took turns guarding outside the cave, everyone else was fast asleep.
After two days of anxious waiting in Jingyang County, Song Wan slept very soundly leaning against Jun Jiuchen.
It was Jun Jiuchen who first noticed the slight sound made by Song Yi. He shifted his gaze away from Song Wan's face, turned his head, and met Song Yi's gaze.
Thinking that Song Wan would recognize him soon, and that he was now leaning so closely against her, Jun Jiuchen hurriedly pried Song Wan's head away and stood up after hearing a rapid cough.
The rapid cough and the sudden hard touch woke Song Wan up immediately.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Jun Jiuchen standing in front of her as if nothing had happened.
"Song Yi is awake."
Hearing this, Song Wan didn't bother to think about what had just happened, but quickly stood up and walked to Song Yi's side.
"Prime Minister, you are awake."
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Song Yi was now fully awake. After taking a quick look around, he roughly understood the current situation.
Then, he seemed to be trying to prop himself up, but failed because of the pain from the wound.
Seeing this, Song Wan quickly spoke.
"The Prime Minister's injuries are serious, so it's better for him to lie still for now."
Song Yi then gave up the urge to get up and thanked Song Wan.
"Thank you Miss Jiang for treating my injuries."
Then, he turned his gaze to Jun Jiuchen who was far away from him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming all the way to rescue us."
"I will always remember your kindness, Your Highness..."
Jun Jiuchen just stood there motionless, glanced at Song Wan, and said bluntly.
"No need to thank me, I didn't come here for you..."
"Besides... someone has already paid the price for Prime Minister Song, so... Prime Minister Song can rest assured and not use this trick to deal with me."
When Song Yi heard the word "price" from Jun Jiuchen, his heart skipped a beat.
Thinking about the letter he received a few days ago from Uncle Fu, which told him that Wan'er had returned.
Is it possible...
She remembered everything now.
So after learning that he was in trouble, she didn't dare to trust Prince Huai's Mansion and could only seek help from Jun Jiuchen?
That night...
What kind of conditions were negotiated with him?
Judging from Jun Jiuchen's attitude, it's definitely not a good thing!
Thinking of this, Song Yi's eyes instantly showed a hint of sharpness.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he forced himself to sit up.
"Although the prince is now in a high position and has great power, I can still decide my own life."
"If this is the price the prince mentioned, I won't accept it... No one can force someone who wants to die to live!"
The implication is that his life was saved at the cost of his daughter's sacrifice or compromise.
He would rather die than give up this life, and I will never let him get his wish.
Jun Jiuchen understood the meaning of Song Yi's words, and Song Wan naturally understood it as well.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she hurriedly supported her father's strong body, subconsciously glaring at Jun Jiuchen fiercely.
"Prime Minister, please don't get excited. Don't worry, Miss Song...she's fine..."
After being glared at by Song Wan, Jun Jiuchen looked at the blood gradually overflowing from the white gauze bandaged on Song Yi's body, but he didn't say anything else.
Just turned around and walked out.
"Now that you're awake, get ready and go!"
"I had someone prepare the boat yesterday. We'll set out by water today. Maybe we can even catch the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
Seeing Jun Jiuchen's figure disappear at the cave entrance, Song Wan breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his gaze, and continued to comfort his father.
Song Yi gradually calmed down his somewhat excited emotions, but after glancing around the cave, his heart sank again, and he looked at Song Wan with a somewhat unstable breath.
"Miss Jiang, when you found me... did you see the other guards in my mansion?"
Hearing this, Song Wan couldn't help but pause while holding his father's hand, and then said in a relaxed manner.
"Of course there is one... But don't worry, my lord. The prince has already sent someone to take him away first."
Song Yi's expression did not relax at all, instead a hint of pain appeared in his eyes.
Song Qi's injuries were no less serious than his. Since Jun Jiuchen didn't dare to move him and was waiting in the cave for him to wake up before leaving, how could he let him leave first?
And...if Song Qi had any consciousness left, he would not be willing to hand him over to another person.
unless……
As he thought of this, a fishy and sweet taste suddenly surged up from Song Yi's throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Song Wan became anxious and hurriedly helped her father to calm down, trying hard to suppress the heat in her eyes.
"The Prime Minister is seriously injured now, please take care of yourself."
But Song Yi's face, which was a little haggard due to pain, finally shed a few tears.
Song Qi and Song Jiu were both children he had watched grow up...
Seeing his father like this, Song Wan knew that he had already guessed it, so he just silently calmed him down behind his back.
