Xiao Ji endured the pain, breaking out in cold sweat as he said, "You can forget about... coveting this marquis's body..."
He used a dagger to cut off a piece of the hem, using the dagger as a splint to immobilize his fractured left forearm, finally biting the cloth strip to tie a knot.
He didn't sling his left arm around his neck.
He found it unsightly.
He leaned against the stone wall to catch his breath, suppressing the weakness and intense pain throughout his body, and said, "Alright."
Princess Xinyang turned around and reached out in the darkness to support his arm. "It seems like there's a passage ahead. I'll go check if we can get out. Wait here for me."
"Let's go together," he said weakly.
"Can you handle it?" Princess Xinyang doubted his physical condition.
Xiao Ji summoned up his male pride to fill the gap in strength: "Qin Fengwan, hasn't anyone told you not to say a man can't do it? Besides, didn't you personally verify if this marquis could manage or not?"
