Chapter 920: The Wound on the Neck

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Daughter, those medicinal ingredients…” Old Madam Ye looked at her expectantly.

“Mother, the princess said that she wanted to discuss conditions with Young General Shen.” Ye Muyu was a little apologetic.

“Why can’t this princess be soft-hearted?” Old Madam Ye was a little anxious. “Daughter, what do you think we should do? Should we let your brother do something that would make people laugh at him?”

“After this incident, he won’t be able to straighten his back in the future.” Old Madam Ye was a little anxious.

“No, I have to ask her.”

Ye Muyu quickly reached out to stop her. “Mother, I’ve already sent a letter to the young general before I came here. Speaking of which, this was originally our family matter, but it got the young general involved. It’s normal for him to feel uncomfortable.”

“If the young general really agrees to the princess’ conditions to save Big Brother, we will owe him a huge favor.”

Thinking of this, Ye Muyu instantly frowned. She regretted looking for the princess. This was a lesson for her.

“Mother, no, I have to stop the princess from going over.”

“That medicine…” Old Madam Ye was a little hesitant. She knew that the young general was not someone she could reach, but her son’s life was hanging by a thread.

“I’ll think of another way.” Ye Muyu lifted her feet and strode out.

Old Madam Ye could not help but wipe her tears. Afraid of being seen, she secretly wiped her tears with her back to the tent.

Ye Muyu had talked to Li Qian on the way here. From what he said, the princess had not arrived yet, so there was still time.

She quickly rushed to the intersection outside the camp and waited silently.

After waiting for a while, she did not see anyone.

Just as she was puzzled, she heard a dispute in the distance.

She looked into the distance and saw Li Ruyi, who was dressed in red, arguing with someone. The other party was wearing military armor.

She was a little worried. After thinking about it, she called two soldiers and walked over.

From afar, she called out to the princess because she saw the armored man reach out and grab Li Ruyi’s neck.

The two soldiers behind her panicked.

With a swoosh, they drew their military saber.

“Who is it? Put down the princess.”

Ye Muyu saw the tears in Li Ruyi’s eyes and the hesitation in the soldier’s actions as if he was afraid of hurting her.

“You guys stop first. Stop!” Ye Muyu called the two soldiers to stop. The two soldiers looked at her in confusion. “What happened?”

“Turn around.”

The two soldiers were confused.

However, after Ye Muyu assured them that everything was fine and the two of them stopped arguing, they hesitated for a moment before turning around.

Ye Muyu took a deep breath and took two steps forward. “Princess, can I come over?” she asked.

“Cough, cough…” Li Ruyi coughed twice. The soldier beside her glanced at her, then turned around and disappeared into the forest.

Although Ye Muyu was far away, she could vaguely see the outline of the figure.

“Come here.” Li Ruyi pointed at her.

Ye Muyu walked over calmly and saw a scar on her neck. She thought for a while and took out a bottle of ointment from her waist. “Princess, this is an ointment. You can apply it.”

Li Ruyi seemed to be thinking about something. She reached out and took it. Then, she rubbed the oimtment on her neck and asked, “What did you see just now?”

“I saw someone attacking the princess,” Ye Muyu said.

Li Ruyi snorted. “You’re wrong. My father sent the guards to stop me.”
