Lin Yue's Injury and the Deepening Crisis

Lin Yue was unconscious in the cave, and the pain from her wound made her frown tightly. Li Yi stayed by her side, extremely anxious. He kept changing the herbs for Lin Yue and wiped her forehead with a damp cloth, trying to reduce her fever. His eyes were full of worry and anxiety, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment.

As time passed by minute by minute, Lin Yue's injury showed no sign of improvement. Instead, she started to have a high fever. Li Yi watched Lin Yue's suffering appearance, and his heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. He held Lin Yue's hand and called softly,

"Miss Lin, wake up. You must pull through..."

Lin Yue's lips trembled slightly, but she still didn't respond.

Outside the cave, the cold wind howled, as if mourning for Lin Yue's injury. The remaining guards sat around the bonfire with solemn expressions. They knew that Lin Yue's injury was related to the success or failure of this mission and the safety of the prince's mansion. A young guard couldn't help but say,

"Your Highness, Miss Lin... Will she..."

Li Yi turned his head and looked at him with cold eyes,

"Shut up! Miss Lin will definitely be fine. We must believe in her."

In order to save Lin Yue, Li Yi decided to take the risk of going out to find some more effective herbs. He told the guards to take good care of Lin Yue and then left the cave alone. He struggled to move forward in the ice and snow. The cold wind blew across his cheeks like a knife, but he didn't notice it at all. There was only one thought in his mind, which was to find herbs to save Lin Yue.

Shortly after Li Yi left the cave, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared in the cave. This person was masked and his face couldn't be seen clearly. He quietly approached Lin Yue, with a strange look in his eyes. The guards noticed him and immediately drew their swords,

"Who are you? Why did you break in here?"

The mysterious person didn't answer. With a flash of his figure, he started a fierce fight with the guards.

The mysterious person was highly skilled in martial arts, and the guards were no match for him at all. Soon, the guards were knocked down to the ground. The mysterious person walked step by step towards Lin Yue. He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to do something to Lin Yue. Just then, Li Yi happened to come back. When he saw this scene, he was furious. He let out a roar and rushed towards the mysterious person,

"How dare you touch Miss Lin? I'll kill you!"

When the mysterious person saw Li Yi come back, he knew his plan couldn't be carried out. He turned around and tried to escape. How could Li Yi let him go easily? He chased closely. The mysterious person ran as fast as a flying bird on the snow, but Li Yi didn't flinch at all. After a chase, the mysterious person was finally cornered by Li Yi.

Li Yi looked at the mysterious person, his eyes full of murderous intent,

"Who on earth are you? Why did you try to harm Miss Lin?"

The mysterious person sneered,

"Want to know? You'll never find out!"

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a dagger from his bosom and stabbed at Li Yi. Li Yi sidestepped to avoid it and started another fight with the mysterious person.

During the fierce battle, Li Yi found that the martial arts moves of this mysterious person were somewhat familiar. He couldn't help but suspect in his heart: Could this mysterious person be related to the traitor in the prince's mansion? After a fierce fight, Li Yi finally subdued the mysterious person. He tore off the mysterious person's mask, only to find that he didn't know this person. The mysterious person looked at Li Yi, his eyes full of resentment,

"Don't be complacent. This is just the beginning. You can't escape!"

Li Yi ignored his threat. He tied up the mysterious person and brought him back to the cave.

After returning to the cave, Li Yi immediately checked Lin Yue's injury. Lin Yue's high fever still hadn't subsided, and her face was even paler. Li Yi was extremely anxious. He didn't know what to do. Just then, Lin Yue suddenly coughed a few times and slowly opened her eyes. Li Yi held her hand in surprise,

"Miss Lin, you're awake. That's great!"

Lin Yue looked at Li Yi, her eyes full of fatigue,

"Your Highness, I... What happened to me?"

Li Yi told her what had happened. After hearing this, Lin Yue was filled with worry,

"Your Highness, it seems that our enemies are more powerful than we thought. We must find the Millennium Snow Ginseng as soon as possible to resolve the crisis."

Li Yi nodded slightly. Looking at Lin Yue's determined eyes, he also felt full of strength in his heart,

"Miss Lin, don't worry. We will definitely find it."
