Even though it was already summer by nightfall, the climate in this volatile northern border was still chilling to the bones. In this low mountain valley, it seemed even more cold and salty.

The burning bonfire illuminated the surroundings. The flames danced in the wind, adding a hint of warmth to the cold night. Xue Fu's small face was flushed red from the light of the flames, but she was clearly anxious and worried.

She crushed a few medicinal herbs that she had found with great difficulty, carefully applying them to the wound on Yue Ye's back, before using her internal force to expel the poisonous blood from his body. It was extremely difficult to speed up the process because if one was not careful, it was possible to lose their life due to improper means. This method of treatment was taught to him by the True Jade Master, but it was still the first time that Xue Fu had used it.

The corner of Yue Ye's mouth overflowed with black blood, and when Xue Fu saw his brows twitch, he was immediately overjoyed. He supported his body and whispered, "Yi, are you alright? Do you want to wake up? "

Yue Ye was naturally unable to reply her, and passed out once again. Her cold and handsome face was completely pale. When he used his last bit of strength to carry Xue Fu onto the back of the horse, his blood had almost been exhausted.

Xue Fu's eyes flickered with tears due to the pain, it was crystal clear like the only pearl in her hair, supporting Yue Ye back to her original position on the ground. With enough firewood, he was afraid that Yue Ye would freeze.

She didn't leave Yue Ye's side for a moment. The night was getting deeper and deeper, and these few days of desperately rushing forward had tired her of half her life. He couldn't hold on any longer, so he tightened his clothes and leaned against a pine tree to sleep.

The weather in the valley became even colder, and just as the last of the flames were about to burn, Yue Ye was forced to wake up from the cold. In a hazy state, he could only see a vague figure standing by his side. There was no need to look, he could already tell who this person was from the aura he gave off.

After he got used to the dim light, he extended his hand to grab Xue Fu's palm. Only then did he realise that she had become as cold as frost. Even though he was frowning, he still slept soundly. He could not help but feel pain in his heart. He must have known how hard it was to travel. This was something even a man of steel like him could not handle, much less a woman. These few days, he was afraid that he would tire her out.

He never thought that Xue Fu would suddenly rush over to the Northern Kingdom and save his life. He thought that he would die in the hands of the Nan Gong Family. Three years ago, she was the one who saved him, and three years later, she was still the same person.

As for him, he couldn't even give her the most basic of tranquility. Yue Ye forced a bitter laugh, forcefully resisting the pain from her wound, and hugged her, warming her ice-cold body with her own embrace.

His hand gently caressed her hair. It was as though he was looking at a treasure that was precious and fragile, to him, Xue Fu was even more precious than a treasure. He wanted to protect her and give her a perfect home, but as long as he could survive, he would pay a hundred times the price. Just like three years ago, he had taken back everything he wanted! Just for her!

In the sky, a trace of grey appeared. Birds were chirping in the forest, but Yue Ye didn't sleep at all. Both of his arms were wrapped around Xue Fu, not letting go. Listening to her even and peaceful breathing was a kind of blissful feeling.

Even though it was very likely that he would still die after daybreak, at least for this moment, he was happy!

Maybe it was because his embrace was too comfortable and too warm, but this time, Xue Fu only woke up when the sun rose. His consciousness blurred, Yue Ye instinctively squeezed into his embrace, seeking more warmth.

Yue Ye only gently kissed her hair, giving her a closer hug, giving her the warmth she wanted, trying to make her sleep more comfortably.

This was the most comfortable sleep she had had in the past few days. The smell in her embrace was so familiar, so familiar to her that her consciousness immediately came back, and she quickly lifted her head from Yue Ye's embrace.

Raising her head, she met Yue Ye's eyes that were full of smiles, so gentle that water could drip from it. Xue Fu's face was filled with anxiety as she cried out in a low voice, "Ah! How did I fall asleep? Yi, how's your wound? "Let me take a look.

Annoyed, she tried to crawl out of his arms, blaming herself for falling asleep. What she should do was defend Yue Ye, not letting his wounds worsen or cause any problems in the middle of the night.

Yue Ye only shook her head, still hugging her, "Don't move, sleep a little more, okay?"

To comfort her, he quickly said: "Don't worry, my wounds are already much better. Xue Fu, accompany me to sleep for a while more." He didn't want to sleep, but he knew she must still be sleepy.

There was no Emperor here, only a man, a man who pampered her and loved her!

"I'm already awake." Xue Fu insisted on looking at his wound. Yue Ye couldn't force her, so she let her look. On his bronze colored skin, the wounds he had applied medicine to last night were still shocking. There was no tendency for him to improve at all.

"It doesn't match the wound, but what should I do?" Xue Fu said worriedly. Her slender fingers gently brushed against his back. It was a kind of unintentional, but extremely important kind of teasing. Yue Ye couldn't help but take in a breath.

Yue Ye didn't mind at all, pulling back her clothes with a smile, "This little injury is something I can bear, don't worry." With that, he stood up from the pile of grass. Although his face was still pale, he could walk with ease.

Xue Fu did not expect his physique to be so good. Yesterday, he almost died from an arrow wound, and today, he could already stand up again. She could imagine the wound still hurting, and he was holding it in.

She quietly followed him, and seeing Yue Ye looking towards the exit of the valley, she immediately understood what he was thinking. He sighed helplessly and said, "Your majesty, let's rest here for two days first. We'll deal with other matters later."

Yue Ye was still looking at the valley in the distance, as if she could hear the sounds of weapons clashing and shouts clashing. Her heart skipped a beat, he suddenly turned to Xue Fu and said: "Xue Fu, I want to immediately head back to the army camp."

Xue Fu saw the determination on his face and walked to his side in pain. He gently pulled his hand and said dejectedly, "Your Majesty, you can't go back now. General Liu colluding with the Northern Kingdom is an undisputable fact.

Yue Ye had already guessed that this would be the result, but the pain in her heart when she heard this news from Xue Fu's mouth was still unbearable. His profile drooped slightly, and his eyes were full of sadness. As the ruler of a nation, he naturally felt heartbroken when a nation was about to fall.

When Xue Fu touched the icy cold feeling on his fingertip, her heart immediately ached. She could not help but reach out and hug him from behind. A thick smell of medicinal herbs wrapped around her nose. He was already injured to such an extent, yet his heart was still tied up in the military camp?

"Yi, let them fight for it. Let them go …" Her voice was soft and soft, mixed with the gurgling stream at her feet. A gust of wind could blow it away, but it still reached Yue Ye's ears.

"I won't let this go so easily." His voice was cold and firm. He always trusted in his own strength. One day, everything would return to his hands. Otherwise, how could he swallow this down?

"Xue Fu, trust me, I will give you the best life." Yue Ye turned back, hugging her to her chest and softly promised. Xue Fu's ink-like hair fluttered in the wind, lightly touching his face. It was itchy but carried a familiar fragrance.

Xue Fu didn't think that she had the ability to change his mind. What she wanted the most now was for Yue Ye to take care of her body. Otherwise, his wounds would become inflamed and become more and more severe.

"I only want your life, no matter how hard it is." Xue Fu mumbled bitterly, and his voice leaked out in his arms. Then he took a step back, stepped out of his embrace, and turned around to leave.

Yue Ye grabbed her hand, asking anxiously, "Xue Fu, where are you going?"

Xue Fu laughed: Of course I'm going to help you create the medicinal herbs. I can't stop you from going out to risk your life. She walked over to a rock. The rest of the herbs she had collected yesterday were placed on top of it.

Looking at her skilled technique, Yue Ye held her hand with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have such a skill." Xue Fu turned her face away and continued to make medicine. The latter's smile faded and she carefully asked: "Are you angry?"

"I'm just angry that I can't take care of you and can't persuade you." Two crystals appeared in Xue Fu's eyes. Since she had reached this step, Yue Ye could lose her life at any time, so how could she not be sad?

Yue Ye's heart became gloomy, and with a pampered finger, she wiped away the tears in her eyes, and said helplessly: "Xue Fu, as the ruler of a nation, we naturally cannot be this cowardly. Even if we are unable to recover from today's situation, isn't it still considered trying hard? "I can lose, but I have to lose my honor, not run for my life."

"I understand." Xue Fu nodded, reached out and carefully pulled off his clothes, changing his clothes soundlessly. After applying the medicine, a thought flashed through her mind. While she was helping him pull his clothes, she found the correct acupuncture point and pressed it with her finger. Yue Ye's body froze instinctively, and she struggled towards Xue Fu's embrace.

Xue Fu caught him with her arms and hugged him. She stroked his head and said apologetically, "Sorry, Yi, I can't let you take the risk like this, everything has already come to an end …"

Everything had already become a foregone conclusion. That's right, no matter who's world was in the State of Yun Yue in the future, it would no longer belong to the man in their arms.

Yue Ye naturally couldn't hear her mutterings, sleeping peacefully in her embrace. Only at this time would his madly beating heart calm down.

Xue Fu lifted his head to look at the bright and brilliant sky. Outside the mountain, it was a scene of slaughter, and how could she use this method to delay Yue Ye for a few days? When he wakes up, he will probably persevere on his way out of the valley.

With a helpless sigh, he placed Yue Ye back on the grass, watching him for a long time. Seeing that he wouldn't wake up so soon, he relaxed. He looked around at the green forest, then started to look around for herbs and food.

The birds in the forest had a crisp sound. The sunlight penetrated through the layers of branches and scattered on the ground, like pieces of gold, decorating this quiet forest. Xue Fu didn't dare to go too far. After all, Yue Ye was currently in a coma.

At this moment, she suddenly wanted someone to be her companion, someone to protect this man with her. However, who in this world was truly loyal to him?
