Ji Yunkai's handling of her injury was extremely efficient. She borrowed a small knife from the Son of Prince Duan, and cut the stitches on her wrist one by one and pulled all them out.

After withdrawing the thread, Ji Yunkai got a small bowl and filled half of the bowl with wine. Then, she placed her wrist into the small bowl and moved it back and forth to clean the wound.

The Son of Prince Duan watched her without saying a word.

Very quickly, Ji Yunkai had cleaned up the wound on her wrist, and raised her head and asked, "Your Highness, can you light a fire for me?"

"What are you going to do with it?" The Son of Prince Duan's tense body relaxed a little because of Ji Yunkai's question.

"Heat the dagger and stitch the wound." The wound on her wrist had been pinched and broken. If there was a skilled surgeon around, they could still stitch it back together. Unfortunately, she could not do it herself.

The Son of Prince Duan said: "You're crazy! That would leave a scar." If she burned it with a dagger, would Ji Yunkai's wrist still be able to be seen by anyone? Had she even thought about the consequences?

Ji Yunkai only said, "I need to stop the bleeding." Her wound had originally been almost healed, but now, it was covered in blood. She was only two days away from marriage. She could not let anyone, especially the people from Prince Yanbei's Mansion, find out about her injuries.

"Enough, enough. I have a royal antidote here; you can use it first." The Son of Prince Duan looked as if he was afraid, and took out a white jade bottle from his bosom. "The hemostatic effect is excellent, if there are no accidents, the wound will be healed by tomorrow."

Ji Yunkai took the medicine bottle and looked at the Son of Prince Duan for a long time before slowly saying, "Your Highness, you're a good person."

The Son of Prince Duan's ears reddened, but he forced himself to remain calm. "Of course I'm a good person." In the entire capital, who did not call him a good person?

Ji Yunkai laughed and carefully smeared the medicine on the wound. She did not waste a single bit and then wrapped the gauze around her wrist.

After wrapping up the wound on her wrist, Ji Yunkai heaved a long sigh of relief, and leaned against the carriage, unmoving.

The Son of Prince Duan waited for a long time, but he did not see Ji Yunkai deal with the other wounds on her body. He frowned, "Aren't there other injuries on your body?"

Ji Yunkai said: "Let's talk about it when we get back. I don't have any strength left now." She truly did not have any strength left. If not for the severe injury to her wrist, she would not have moved.

"You woman, since you can't do it yourself, can't you ask others?" The Son of Prince Duan did not know what was wrong with him, but when he faced Ji Yunkai, he could not help but become irritable.

"It's not good to trouble others with my injuries." Ji Yunkai knew what the Son of Prince Duan meant, but she tactfully rejected him. She was injured, and needed to take off her clothes to clean and apply the medicine. Could she let the Son of Prince Duan, a man, do it?

At Ji Yunkai's gentle reminder, the Son of Prince Duan understood her underlying message and the roots of his ears became an uncontrollable red. In order to cover up his embarrassment, the Son of Prince Duan grabbed the medicine bottle on the table and threw it at Ji Yunkai: "This is for you. It's more useful than the ones you buy outside."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Actually, Ji Yunkai had better medicine at home, but she did not reject the Son of Prince Duan's good intentions. Although the Son of Prince Duan had his own selfish motives, he was not a bad person. At the very least, he was much better than his unreliable little sister.

The Son of Prince Duan did not say anything. He just glanced at Ji Yunkai, then calmly turned his face away and looked outside the carriage.

It was clear that he did not want to speak, and Ji Yunkai did not have the desire to open her mouth, so she curled up in a corner again and closed her eyes to rest.

"Your Highness, we've arrived!" After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped. Ji Yunkai opened her eyes and looked at the Son of Prince Duan. At the same time, the other party also looked over at her.

Ji Yunkai's face revealed a sincere expression, "Your Highness, I'm here. Thank you for today." Whether it was inside or outside the palace, she had to thank the Son of Prince Duan.

The Son of Prince Duan shook his head. "No need. Today's matter is also because my sister isn't sensible." If it was not for his sister, he would not care about Ji Yunkai's life and death.

"Infanta Tao'an is only a child, I understand." Ji Yunkai understood that the Son of Prince Duan was telling her that this matter would end here and now. She could not find trouble with her again.

"It's good that you understand." The Son of Prince Duan nodded his head. He had no intention to stand up to give Ji Yunkai a way out. Ji Yunkai had no choice but to carefully avoid him, slowly moving to the carriage's entrance. The carriage was only so spacious, and the blood on Ji Yunkai's clothes could not help but fall onto the Son of Prince Duan's body.

"Your Highness, it was an accident." Ji Yunkai did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. She calmly opened the carriage door and jumped out.

The servants of the Ji Manor had long seen the carriage coming and immediately sent people out to welcome them. Ji Yunkai jumped down from the carriage and the servants of the house were startled. "Young... Miss Yunkai?"

"Oh, open the door." Ji Yunkai's face turned cold and impatient.

"This, this...." The servant looked troubled.

Ji Yunkai's face sank as she said unhappily, "What's wrong? I can't enter the manor? You want me to follow the Son of Prince Duan back to Prince Duan's Mansion?" Had her stepmother become more and more stupid? She was actually not allowed to enter the manor now?

Hmph, she was only here because she had no other choice; otherwise, she would have never gone back to the Ji Family.

"No, no, no, Miss Yunkai, please!" The servant's face paled, he did not dare to stop Ji Yunkai anymore, and quickly made way for her.

What a joke. Ji Yunkai only had two more days to get married. If she did not go back to her home and stayed in Prince Duan's Mansion, what would happen?

The Son of Prince Duan was not in a hurry to leave. No one knew what he was thinking. But, the entire time he was sitting in the carriage, he had been staring at Ji Yunkai: watching her coldly reprimand the servants, watching people making things difficult for her, and watching her walk into the Ji Manor by herself. From start to finish, no one asked her, 'How did you get the injuries on your body?'

"She really is a pitiful person!" Seeing this scene, the Son of Prince Duan was even more certain that he would sympathize with Ji Yunkai. He was not wrong either.

There was not a single place in the huge capital that could shelter her from the wind and rain, yet she just could not leave the capital.
