Chapter 13 Rescue Yun Xi
Fifth Princess dared not leave any scars on Princess Xi's body. She was the sacrifice of Yun so Fifth Princess was afraid that her father King Yun would blame her. Otherwise, Fifth Princess would have disfigured her pretty face. Fifth Princess hated her face the most. She was nothing but a cheap princess, however, Yun Xi’s pretty face and cool temperament made her more attractive than her, the most favored and noble princess.
Fifth Princess couldn't disfigure Princess Xi, but she could torture her with cold well water constantly. It's a little cold in October. Maybe Princess Xi could survive, but she would still be sick on the bed for a few days. Fifth Princess wanted to keep doing this for one day and one night. She would not stop torturing her with cold water even after she had a high fever. she wanted Yun Xi to suffer the lingering effect of a chronic disease and never get well.
Buckets of well water were poured down from several palace maids and court eunuchs on the girl who had no strength to open her eyes. Her pure and flawless body had lost all energy. She was tied on the wooden frame and did not fall off. Well water dripped down on the girl's thin body. Such physical torture seemed to be endless.
Yue rushed to the palace of Fifth Princess. He did not choose to get in from the front door but jumped into the yard. He asked everyone he met the whereabouts of the princess. Most people did not have time to respond before their necks were strangled. Yue was extremely powerful. When they couldn't tell him the position of the princess, he knocked them out immediately.
A lot of guards were alarmed. When someone cared about others, he might lose his mind. Yue had always been careful, but now he was so desperate. Now he was surrounded by guards. He was lucky because Fifth Princess’s guards were not top ones. They were weaker at martial arts compared with the bodyguards of King Yun. Yue was a top master in the field of martial arts. However, now he was totally outnumbered.
Yue did not care about his own safety. The only thing he cared about was the flawless girl in white he liked. He was knifed several times, but he ignored his spurting blood. He grabbed the knife from nearby guards and continued to kill. Blood kept spurting. No one could tell whose blood it was. A court eunuch finally told Yue where Yun Xi was. The court eunuch looked at the knife on his chin and almost wet his pants. Yue let go of him. He did not want to fight with them anymore and only wanted to find Yun Xi.
Before Yue left, survivor court eunuch was killed by Yun Zhi who rushed here. Yun Zhi had a murderous look just as Yue's. He ordered his men to kill everyone here.
Yun Zhi didn't care about these people dying one after another. He talked to Yue, "Ayue, others shouldn't know that you practice martial arts. Otherwise, it will hurt her. I kill all the people here today, and you get hurt by accident, understand? Now let's go to rescue her."
"Ok." Yue knew that Yun Zhi wanted to protect Yun Xi just as he did. He agreed with him. After all, he really didn't want others to discover his identity.
These two men were both very anxious. They rushed to the small room. Yun Zhi kicked the door open, almost hurting Fifth Princess who sat very close to the door. Covered with blood, Yue also followed in.
The man she liked was so angry and Fifth Princess was startled. She never expected that Yun Zhi would appear, so she wanted to explain.
Yun Zhi ignored Fifth Princess. Now he only cared about Princess Xi. Yue ran to Yun Xi who was faint faster than Yun Zhi. He cut down the rope tying the girl’s hands on both sides, and Yun Zhi held the poor girl falling to the ground.
Yun Xi was still dripping. Her good figure was revealed, but she was as cold as ice. Yun Zhi took off his coat to cover Yun Xi. He held her tightly to warm her up and kept calling her name. Yue was next to him and he also came forward to hold the girl's little cold hands. Her hands had been icy cold. Yue held her small hands tightly with his big hands. Now he wanted to hug his princess so much but he couldn’t. Now Yue was only more worried about her situation than that. He kept calling her "Princess".
However, Yun Zhi and Yue's calling still couldn't wake up Yun Xi who had been frozen. Her breathing even became faint.
The man she liked was hugging the captive princess she disliked. He looked so gentle and worried. Fifth Princess had always been arrogant, and now she totally forgot her etiquette as a princess.
“Azhi, let go of that bi*ch! The more you care about her, the more I want to kill her. Today, I will show you guys no one has the power to take her away." Fifth Princess just finished her words, and her guards rushed in, surrounding "two women and one man" in front of them.
Yun Zhi had been ready to fight. Even he had to kill all the present people, including Fifth Princess, he also wanted to take Yun Xi away. Yue didn't want to take action hastily, but now he also gathered himself up. He cared more about her safety than exposing his real identity.
When a battle was on the way, a gentle voice rang timely, "My fifth sister, I am so impressed. Do you think even Crown Prince doesn't have the power?" Before they saw the man, they heard his voice.
Gentle and harmless Crown Prince appeared at the door. When he saw the poor wet girl in the arms of Yun Zhi, he didn't seem to be as gentle as always. His pupils were constricted, but he soon calmed down and stepped forward to hold the girl in his arms.
Yun Zhi did not stop him, neither did Yue. They knew now only Crown Prince Yun Su could save her, and he really wanted to save her. They would not take action when there was a better and peaceful solution.
Yun Su held the cold and faint girl in his arms and was about to leave. Fifth Princess yelled in a hurry, "Crown Prince... brother!"
"Sister, please think carefully about how to explain this incident to our father. If something bad happens to Princess Xi, do you think father will spare you?"
Fifth Princess now finally felt afraid. She knew the temper of King Yun. His favorite princess was nothing compared with country affairs. Her father liked her while she was in dread of King Yun. Fifth Princess did not want to kill Yun Xi. She only wanted her to suffer chronic illness. She was just a sacrifice so that no one would notice it. However, now Crown Prince had shown up. She was really afraid that her father would know.
"Brother, I know what I did was wrong. Please don't tell our father."
"Sister, if Sister Xi is safe, I will not tell our father about it as if nothing happened. Besides, if such a thing happens again, I will not spare you. Moreover, if any unexpected misfortune happens to Sister Xi this time, you will see our father the next moment."
