Chapter 118 Waiting for Him to Come Back
seven days later

By the fourth day, all the food reserves in Qingcheng had been used up.

The water in the well was needed both to put out the fire and to provide survival for the people in the city, and it was even showing signs of drying up.

As the wildfire got closer, the air was filled with the smell of burning, and the scorching feeling was despairing.

Yun Qianyi hadn't eaten for three days, but he still insisted on giving acupuncture to detoxify the patients.

Her originally slender figure now looked even thinner.

"I would like to thank Divine Doctor Yun for his great kindness!"

"If I can survive this disaster, I will work like a cow or a horse to repay Doctor Yun!"

"Divine Doctor Yun is indeed the successor of Tianqing Sect. His compassion is greater than that of a bodhisattva."

These people were already thinking they were doomed to die, but Yun Qianyi's appearance was like a god coming to the world, saving them all.

It’s a pity that just when they had hope of survival, they were burned to death here.

It also implicated Doctor Yun.

"The clues you provided are very important to me. There is no need to be so serious."

In Yun Qianyi's opinion, she saved them for her own reasons, and they didn't owe each other anything.

The poison in everyone's body has been completely removed. Yun Qianyi saw the powerless expressions on Xuan Liu and Meng Chen's faces after they came back, and he felt lost again.

"What's the situation outside?"

Yun Qianyi poured each of them a glass of water and asked about the situation outside.

"Miss Yun, the wildfire has already reached the foot of the mountain and will burn into the city tonight at the latest."

Xuan Liu drank it all in one gulp, but even so, the corners of his mouth were still cracked and bleeding.

During these seven days, they put out the fire almost day and night, but their strength was very weak.

All I can say is that humans are so insignificant in the face of natural disasters.

Xuan Liu and Meng Chen took a short rest and then went out of the city again.

About three hours later, the sunset glow in the sky became more obvious under the light of the fire.

Yun Qianyi's eyes were filled with worry. Huicheng was not far from here, so why had Jun Yanci not returned yet?

Did he encounter any obstacles in Huicheng? Or did he have an accident on the road?

Her heart was burning hotter than the fire for seven days.

Ayan, where are you?

Yun Qianyi was sitting on a recliner in the yard. Just as he stood up, his vision suddenly went dark.

When she was about to fall to the ground, she held on to the chair, knelt on one knee, and took a deep breath.

At this moment, a pair of small hands stretched out in front of her, and in the gray palms, there was a round steamed bun.

"Sister Qianyi, you eat."

Where did the steamed buns come from? Didn’t the entire Qingcheng run out of food three days ago?

Could it be that Jun Yanci is back? !

"Nuonuo, where did you get it from?"

Yun Qianyi sat on the ground, his eyes sparkling.

"I found this in the cellar when I got home. It was the last one left."

It is ten miles from Qingcheng to the town, which is the limit for a five-year-old child.

What's more, the wildfire ahead was spreading, and the first place it burned was that town.

Yun Qianyi looked at Nuonuo's dirty face and the obvious injuries on her body, and her throat suddenly tightened.

This child is repaying her with his life.

Seeing that Yun Qianyi was reluctant to take the steamed bun from her hand, Nuonuo pursed her lips nervously. The steamed bun was a little dirty and very hard.

Sister Qianyi is like a fairy. With her noble temperament and status, she probably eats delicacies from land and sea on weekdays. But now she has to eat this kind of food. I guess she must be unaccustomed to it.

At this moment, the steamed bun in Nuonuo's hand was taken away by Yun Qianyi, and she broke it open with force.

"Good friends, share when we meet."

Yun Qianyi smiled and took a bite of the steamed bun, eating it one bite after another, looking as if he was tasting delicious food.

Nuonuo also laughed, she opened her little mouth and nibbled on the food in small bites.

Yun Qianyi was afraid that Nuonuo would choke, so he poured the last water in the kettle into a cup and fed her slowly.

After eating, Yun Qianyi stood up from the ground and walked out holding Nuonuo’s hand.

The people in the city have begun to prepare to retreat. Although there is no way to retreat, the human instinct to survive prompts them to want to live longer, even if it is just for a moment longer.

After Yun Qianyi handed Nuonuo over to the people in the town, he resolutely ran out of the city against the flow of people.

She saw Xuan Liu squatting on the ground tiredly and took the bucket from his hand.

"Miss Yun?"

Xuan Liu looked at her in surprise, then reacted immediately and said hurriedly:

"Miss Yun, please return to the city quickly. I have subordinates guarding here."

Yun Qianyi had eaten something, so Xuan Liu couldn't snatch the bucket from her hand.

"Xuan Liu, you have to live with me, otherwise, do you want Xuan Xiaoqi to be the leader of the secret guards?"

Xuan Liu was stunned. After being forced to the ground by Yun Qianyi to rest, it took a long while before his eyes turned red.

Yun Qianyi once asked Jun Yanci, the secret guards were ranked in numerical order, then why he had never seen those before Xuan Liu.

It turned out that those people died to protect Jun Yanci.

After the young Jun Yanci ascended the throne of Crown Prince, assassination attempts never ceased.

Every time they escaped danger, it did not mean there were no sacrifices, so the leader of the secret guards changed from Xuanyi to Xuaner and Xuansan.
Eventually he became the current Xuanliu.

Yun Qianyi always remembered Jun Yanci's expression. Her A'Yan was obviously a young man who valued friendship and loyalty, but he was portrayed in such a bad light by the world.

Therefore, she not only has to protect Jun Yanci, but also the people around him.

Huicheng Prefect
In the backyard, the man in the courtyard sat quietly on a stone chair, asking the doctor when Jun Yanci would wake up.

"Your Highness, this patient is already at the end of his strength. Even if he wakes up, he may not live for more than three months. I don't know."

One can tell at a glance that this person is either rich or noble. Someone who is valued so much by the prince must not be an ordinary person.

The doctor was interrupted before he could finish his next words.

"Watch your mouth. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

After Jiang Xiubai finished speaking, he glanced at the doctor calmly with a warning in his eyes, and then asked his followers to ask him to leave.

Jiang Xiubai, the son of the Regent of Xiyuan, is Yun Qianyi's senior brother.

When he met Jun Yanci, he already sensed something was wrong. Given Yun Qianyi's feelings for him, how could she let him suffer from the poison alone?

Just as Jiang Xiubai stood up and wanted to go into the house to check on Jun Yanci's condition.

The door was suddenly opened from the inside, and the beautiful lady with a pale and sickly complexion flashed over.

"How many days has it been?"

When Jun Yanci just woke up, he felt extremely sore all over, and he knew that he must have been unconscious for more than a few hours.

"Seven days."

Jiang Xiubai was grabbed by the collar by him, and he signaled to his followers with his eyes that there was no need to step forward to stop him.

Jun Yanci's pupils contracted and he looked at him in disbelief.

Seven days? !
Jiang Xiubai's expression also changed, which could make the Crown Prince, who was always as steady as a rock, show such an expression.

"Did something happen to my junior sister?"
