"It's just a superficial injury." Xia Luotong didn't reveal much. Although she looked at the young man with some pity, she was still not familiar with him, so it was naturally impossible for her to reveal her true identity to him.
But looking at the injury on his hand, her eyes couldn't help but darken.
Various scars were crisscrossed and spread all the way to the shoulders, hidden under the clothes. The invisible places must also be covered with scars.
Is this still the majestic prince of the Zhou Dynasty? It looks a bit like myself in the previous life.
At this moment, Xia Luotong had a faint feeling of sympathy in his heart.
"Have you finished reading?" A Yan moved his hands uncomfortably.
"You kid, it's really awkward to look at the wound." Xia Luotong rolled her eyes at him and finally let go of her hand.
"I told you I'm thirteen years old! I'm not a child anymore!" A Yan was irritated, but he didn't want to get angry at her, so he could only grit his teeth and whisper.
"Okay, I get it, you are a thirteen-year-old boy!" Xia Luotong teased him funny, and sure enough, he saw him glaring at her fiercely like a wolf cub, looking like he wanted to get angry but The unspeakable look is inexplicably cute.
No longer teasing him, Xia Luotong took out a small porcelain bottle from his body and handed it to him: "This is the wound medicine I made myself. It should be very effective. You can take it back and apply it on the wound."
She held the medicine bottle and found that he didn't reach out to take it. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "What? Are you afraid that I will poison you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the medicine bottle in Xia Luotong's hand changed hands instantly and went into A Yan's hand.
"Who would be afraid of you!" A Yan turned her head awkwardly, holding the medicine bottle with her hand unconsciously, as if she was afraid of losing it, and there was still a little bit of her warmth on it.
Just like her warm gaze, his cold heart seemed to be a little colder...
"Just don't be afraid. Remember to apply the medicine. If you run out, you can go to Lingshan Pavilion on Luoyun Street to get it." Xia Luotong suddenly paused and asked, "Can you leave the palace?"
"I have my own way." A Yan didn't say much, but she wrote down the address she mentioned, "Where do you usually stay in Lingshan Pavilion?"
"I'll be here occasionally. If you need me for anything, you can tell the shopkeeper there." Xia Luotong raised an eyebrow at him.
"I'm not looking for you, I'm just going to get medicine." He turned away from her.
"You kid is so awkward." She looked at him funny, maybe he was a little more familiar with him. At this time, after he lost his initial fierceness, he became a little awkward and cute.
"I told you not to call me kid!" A Yan finally couldn't help but roared in annoyance, but since he suppressed his voice, the sound had no power, "You are only that old..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused and looked sharply and warily towards somewhere, which was the direction where Xia Luotong first appeared.
"Someone is coming!" His voice became softer and softer, and he came closer to warn her.
Xia Luotong noticed the movement in that direction almost at the same time as him, but she didn't expect that A Yan also had such a keen perception. Thinking about the situation when he first attacked her, a flash of deep thought flashed in her eyes.
This boy doesn't seem to be as simple as he seems.
Seeing A Yan bowing warily, Xia Luotong patted his back comfortingly: "Don't be nervous, he's one of our own."
Sure enough, a figure slowly appeared, it was Lindong who had just left.
Although Xia Luotong opened his mouth, A Yan still looked at Lindong warily. Xia Luotong knew that this was the insecurity he had developed over the years, so he didn't say much, but he didn't expect that Lin Dong would recognize A Yan. .
"My servant has met His Highness the Ninth Prince." Although Lindong was a little surprised to see the Ninth Prince here, he still saluted A Yan.
Xia Luotong looked at Lindong in surprise, but considering her identity, it was not surprising that she recognized the faces of these princes and princesses.
At this time, she didn't ask much about it, but looked at Lindong and asked, "What's going on?"
"The slave girl just left with the palace maid and found that she was behaving strangely. She always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of the slave girl, so the slave girl tied her up directly." Lindong said what happened after leaving just now, "This palace lady doesn't know much. , I just think that someone asked her to do this, to lead you to this side hall, and then lead the slaves away."
"Do you know who asked her to do this?" Xia Luotong asked in a deep voice.
"It's said to be a maid. From the palace maid's description, I think she looks like the maid accompanying Miss He."
Xia Luotong was not surprised by this result. Either for fame or profit, there was always something that drove the palace maid to assassinate him.
"Where is the palace maid now?" Xia Luotong asked when he saw Lindong coming alone.
"My servant made the decision without permission and left the palace maid in the side hall." Lindong had just entered the side hall, so he naturally knew the situation in the side hall at this time, and also knew what the consequences would be if he left the palace maid in the side hall.
"Well done." Xia Luotong nodded with satisfaction. Although Lindong didn't spend much time with her, he was very reassuring in his work.
Lindong had long seen the little eunuch lying on the ground next to Xia Luotong, and asked: "Princess, this little eunuch?"
princess?
A Yan's eyes flashed and he looked at Xia Luotong beside him in surprise. Apparently he didn't expect that she was actually a princess? I just don’t know which palace it belongs to.
Xia Luotong told Lindong what had just happened, and then said, "Take him away and then pry his mouth open to see what he knows."
Xia Luotong had an intuition that the young eunuch should know more about the situation than the palace maid just now. This could be seen from the young eunuch's reaction and the actions he was responsible for.
"Don't worry, Princess, I'll leave this matter to this slave, and I promise to let him reveal all the information he knows." Lindong's eyes were cold and stern, and then he looked at Xia Luotong's dress and asked with concern, "Princess, do you want to change into something else?" Where to change clothes?”
Xia Luotong also knew that her situation must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it would be unclear if people saw it, but she was thinking about the situation in this side hall and could not leave with peace of mind.
"Is there any movement over at Baohe Hall?" Xia Luotong knew that the instigator behind the scenes had arranged so many things, and there would definitely be follow-ups, otherwise it would all be meaningless.
"Don't worry, Princess. There are people watching over at Baohe Palace, and they will definitely be enough for you to tidy up your clothes and makeup." Lindong affirmed.
After hearing this, Xia Luotong nodded, turned to look at A Yan beside him, and raised a smile: "Ninth Prince, see you later."
What they said just now did not avoid him. Xia Luotong knew that the ninth prince was a smart man. Even if he avoided him at this time, he would be able to guess the situation based on the movements in the palace later.
"Which royal palace are you from?" A Yan asked Xia Luotong steadily.
"Prince An's Mansion." Xia Luotong replied with a smile.
"I remember."
After saying that, A Yan turned around and left without any hesitation, and disappeared deep into the woods in the blink of an eye.
