Chapter 602 Yue Fuqi's Injury
Chapter 602 Yue Fuqi's Injury
After Yue Fuqi drank the last sip of the medicine, he said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for last night. However, don't do such risky things in the future."
His voice was hoarse and his lips were pale, but his face was abnormally flushed because he still had a high fever.
His facial features can be said to be flawless, and he is a very handsome man. Especially in his weak state at this moment, he has an inexplicable sense of fragile handsomeness, and there is gentleness and indifference in his eyes.
Every time she looked into his eyes, Si He couldn't help but sigh in her heart that he looked really like Yue Fuli, or perhaps, a bit like Ning Ji.
However, the indifference in his eyes had weakened a lot compared to before, and there was a hint of genuine concern. Perhaps, this was because she was already Yue Fuli's wife, his sister-in-law, and she had risked her life to cover his retreat last night.
Seeing him like this, Si He naturally noticed the subtle change in his attitude. Immediately, her smile deepened. She said, "Sixth brother, there's no need to be polite. We're all family. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
She didn't say much about what happened last night and changed the subject.
Yue Fuqi nodded slightly and said, "I feel better now. Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. However, if possible, it is better to set off as soon as possible to avoid further trouble if they catch up."
He knew the Yue family's situation and actions very well. The master's family would not let it go, even though he was a young master and the son of that man.
He lowered his eyes, and a complex emotion of sadness and coldness flashed in his eyes.
Si He frowned slightly when he heard this. In fact, given his current condition, he really needed to rest well. But he was also right. Although this place was far away from the territory of Changping City and remote, judging from the tracking formation of the Yue family yesterday, there was indeed a possibility that they would be hunted down again.
She couldn't stay here for long. She never knew when pursuers would come. It was broad daylight and the sun was shining brightly, which was indeed a bit troublesome for her.
Although the accompanying secret guards were skilled, their number was not large, and they were afraid of attracting too much attention. If there were few pursuers, it would be fine, but if there were too many people chasing them, they would be at a disadvantage. It would be safer to return to the base.
However, she still looked at the doctor beside her and asked, "Can he continue on his journey in this condition?"
Because the road was too bumpy last night, his condition worsened a little and his high fever persisted. Now he is just trying hard to keep himself spirits up.
The doctor frowned and sighed softly, "It's true that rushing the journey won't be conducive to your recovery, but given the current situation, it's best to set off as soon as possible."
Doctor Fang was a man of Yue Fuqi. Considering his master, he naturally did not want to run around anymore if possible, but he also knew that if he did not escape far away, the Yue family might catch up with him soon.
Especially these days, seeing the unfair treatment and suffering that the master has suffered, he really doesn't want to be caught.
The Yue family is a place where people eat each other.
Since that was the case, Si He said, "Okay, let's set off, but we can go slowly on the road."
After all, this place is not far from Yue Fuli’s base. If everything goes well, we will probably arrive there in the evening.
After arranging their departure, the secret guards moved quickly, quickly packed up their things, and then carefully carried Yue Fuqi downstairs.
Si He looked at the golden sunlight outside, sighed in her heart, put on a veil hat, put on gloves on her hands, wrapped herself up completely, and then walked out.
The accompanying secret guards were already accustomed to her dressing like this. Only Yue Fuqi's men glanced at her curiously, and then looked away politely.
Outside the inn, apart from the horses, there was only a simple carriage. The guards carefully lifted Yue Fuqi onto the carriage, and then Si He also got on the carriage.
It was impossible for her to ride a horse in such sunny weather. Even though she was wearing a veil and wrapped herself tightly, she would still feel uncomfortable after being exposed to the sun for too long.
However, she and Yue Fuqi were not the only ones in the carriage. There was also Doctor Fang accompanying them, so there was nothing inappropriate about it.
When Yue Fuqi saw her get on the carriage, he was a little surprised at first, but he quickly understood, after all, she was a woman.
Although the carriage was simple, it was spacious enough for three people to fit in.
Si He got on the carriage and sat in a corner near the curtain. Only after she was seated did she take off her veil.
At this moment, Yue Fuqi had closed his eyes, as if he was too tired and fell asleep again, while Doctor Fang gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Yue Fuqi has a high fever now, so it's good for him to sweat. But looking at Doctor Fang's frown, he doesn't know whether this sweat is cold sweat caused by the injury on his leg.
The injury on his leg was quite serious, but he never said a word, never frowned, and always looked calm, showing that he was a patient person.
Si He looked sideways for a while, and when the carriage slowly moved, she leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest.
However, the road on this path is not very flat, and the carriage is still a bit bumpy even when it moves slowly.
It was not so bad for Si He, but it was quite painful for Yue Fuqi, who had a serious leg injury. He could not fall asleep even though he was sleepy.
He pursed his lips slightly, but his breath and expression remained unchanged. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and saw Si He sitting in the corner.
She closed her eyes and breathed shallowly, as if she was asleep.
Although she was also wearing men's clothes today, she did not have any facial contouring. Her small face was plain and as white as porcelain jade, but she seemed to be a little tired at the moment.
Thinking about what she did last night, Yue Fuqi was slightly moved.
He was a little confused as to why she came with the secret guards. Was this also something his brother agreed to?
Suddenly, he couldn't understand the relationship between his brother and her.
At this moment, Doctor Fang on the side looked at Yue Fuqi, and he then retracted his gaze and closed his eyes to rest again.
When Doctor Fang saw that he opened his eyes, he wanted to ask him if he was feeling unwell, but when he looked over, he saw that he closed his eyes again, so he swallowed the words he wanted to ask.
Doctor Fang was relieved to see that Yue Fuqi was in good condition, then he turned around and glanced at Si He across from him. He was also a little puzzled and curious. This Fifth Madam was really different from the others.
By the way, the sudden appearance of a large cloud of fog last night also shocked him. He didn't expect that she had such a strange method!
Doctor Fang took a curious look and then looked away politely. He knew in his heart that he should not try to find out what he was not supposed to know.
The carriage traveled smoothly and peacefully for more than an hour, but as noon approached, the road ahead was still peaceful.
From a distance, one could hear the sound of weapons clashing and some people shouting and killing. The fighting was quite loud.
The carriage slowly stopped but did not approach. The accompanying guards saw the situation ahead and held their sword handles cautiously.
