Chapter 1217: Chapter 1211: Concealing the Truth to the End

Bai Qingyan nodded, "Alright!"

"Miss..." Chun Zhi stood outside the door, did not come in, and reported softly, "The guard Yue Shi who was previously with the master requests to see Miss!"

Bai Qingyan gathered her spirits, "Invite him in! I have something to ask him!"

Wei Zhong saw this and retreated out.

Bai Qingyan dressed properly, came out from behind the screen, and heard Wei Zhong and Yue Shi speaking, saying, "Let Yue Shi come in!"

Wei Zhong personally opened the curtain for Yue Shi.

As soon as Yue Shi entered, seeing Bai Qingyan already seated at the main seat, his eyes turned red instantly and he knelt down, bowing his head in salute, "Miss!"

"What exactly happened with your master’s injuries?" Bai Qingyan asked.

Yue Shi did not dare to lift his head to look at Bai Qingyan, said, "A few days ago before the battle started, I heard the news that Miss was surrounded in Jiangzi City by Xiliang’s General Cui Shanzhong with the main Xiliang forces. I prevented anyone from informing my master, but unexpectedly, I was careless, and my master blocked an arrow for me, exposing a weakness and letting Xiliang take a bite, it was all my fault!"

The news arrived before the battle began, Yue Shi feared that Xiao Rongyan would worry about Bai Qingyan and her unborn child, so he suppressed the message. Unexpectedly, he became distracted himself, leading his master to save him instead.

As Yue Shi spoke, his voice had already choked with emotion, and he heavily kowtowed before Bai Qingyan, "Yue Shi requests punishment!"

Bai Qingyan was silent for a long time before speaking to Yue Shi, "Since you concealed it, why not keep it concealed till the end? Why let him come with such severe injuries?"

"I..." Yue Shi’s throat convulsed, "I was afraid that if I hid it from my master, and something really happened to Miss here, he would regret it for life, so... I told him..."

Yue Shi did not expect that after he told him, Xiao Rongyan would lead the troops day and night towards Jiangzi City.

He understood his master’s heart for Miss, so the entire way he dared not stop him, only grit his teeth and followed behind. From the battlefield to Jiangzi City, Xiao Rongyan almost never dismounted the horse.

Yue Shi knew his master harbored a fury, remaining silent, thinking his master was angry with him for not informing him earlier about Miss being besieged in Jiangzi City, he behaved like a quail the entire way, standing by his master’s side without daring to breathe hard.

Seeing Yue Shi’s appearance, Bai Qingyan knew he surely followed Xiao Rongyan the entire way, and however long Xiao Rongyan hadn’t slept, he hadn’t either...

"Rest assured, your master is fine, the military doctor has treated him, he’s just overly fatigued, and I just fed him medicine. As long as the fever subsides, he’ll be fine!" Bai Qingyan looked down at Yue Shi’s clean, deep black, tearful eyes, her voice unconsciously softened, "You’ve had a hard journey, go rest. I’ll watch over your master!"

"Subordinate... wishes to kneel outside watching over the master." Yue Shi said, choking with emotion.

"Go rest, even if you ruin your knees from kneeling, it won’t help your master!" Bai Qingyan’s voice carried exhaustion, "Eunuch Wei will say to the outside that the Ninth Prince of Yan is arranged in the courtyard next to mine. You can stay in that courtyard to avoid suspicion, go eat something and rest, and tomorrow attend to your master properly."
