I don't know how much time had passed, but when Qi Chuchu woke up, she felt that the pain in her left shoulder was almost no longer her own.
Mu Chenduan was dozing next to her. When he noticed the movement, he immediately came over.
"How do you feel? Jia'er."
Qi Chuchu didn't look good, and her voice was hoarse, "It hurts."
"I'll get you the medicine." Mu Chen said, and then he personally went to get Qi Chuchu's medicine and fed her to drink it.
Qi Chuchu had been drinking medicine since she came to this world. At this moment, she just felt unlucky. It was just that so many people were arranged for this assassination, and they were all masters. They were obviously here to take Mu Chen's life...
But in the end, he was the one who got hurt!
"Jia'er, I can't help you this time. You are injured now, but you can't rest and let people hiding in the dark see the clues."
"Then, when will you return to Youzhou?" Qi Chuchu asked.
Mu Chenduan planned that they would go back the next day. Shen Xu was one of his people. The Youzhou Jiedushi, the prefect, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Song Changzhou, were all people who could make plans. He must go back as soon as possible to deceive the Tibetan people. Who is the fox with the tail? You need to be more careful.
Although Qi Chuchu understood his approach, if he had not forcibly taken her out, she would not have been injured in vain. As a result, Mu Chenduan's status became much humbler.
Since he could not reveal any signs of injury, Mu Chen gave Qi Chuchu the medicine for his shoulder.
"Be gentle."
"good."
Mu Chenduan was very careful with his movements and applied medicine to Qi Chuchu very gently. The wound was really dazzling compared to the surrounding fair skin.
After finally taking the medicine, Qi Chuchu put on her clothes and sent Mu Chen out of the room.
Just after sending Mu Chenduan away, another person came into her room. Although this person was her second brother Nangong Huaijin, Qi Chuchu was still startled.
And she was not wearing the human skin mask at the moment. Nangong Huaijin was a little surprised to see that it was really her younger sister.
"Is it really you? Jia'er."
"Indeed." Qi Chuchu responded, laughed awkwardly a few times, and sat down at the tea table.
But how did the second brother suspect me? With this in mind, Qi Chuchu asked Nangong Huaijin.
"I just happened to see a few corners of the human skin mask on your face appear to be exposed several times, and Prince Duan is unusual for you, so I wanted to pay a visit. But, Jia'er, why do you look so bad?"
Qi Chuchu smiled bitterly, and had nothing to hide from Nangong Huaijin, so he told everything about the assassination and injury of her and Mu Chenduan a few days ago.
Nangong Huaijin looked stern, "This is not an easy job, why does he still have to take you with him? What a nonsense!"
Seeing the second brother standing up with a slap on the table, Qi Chuchu also stood up quickly, "Second brother, don't be angry, don't be angry, anger will hurt your body."
The brother and sister chatted for a few more words, and Nangong Huaijin didn't want to disturb Qi Chuchu's rest anymore, so she left.
After Nangong Huaijin learned about Qi Chuchu's identity, she also cared about her a lot during the journey. These things fell into Mu Chenduan's eyes, but he couldn't get rid of the sand in his eyes.
Shen Xu didn't know the twists and turns, so he just reminded Nangong Huaijin, "Even if you like the maid next to His Highness Prince Duan, you can't do it so blatantly! If you do this again, you will get into trouble. If you really provoke him, If you get into trouble, I will not protect you."
"Thank you for your advice, sir."
Although Nangong Huaijin agreed readily, before leaving Jingzhou, he still sneaked into Qi Chuchu's room to deliver medicine to her.
It happened that Mu Chenduan bumped into him by chance.
"My maid, I won't bother you to take care of you."
Mu Chenduan spoke, and Zhan Yiming also made a move to drive him out. Qi Chuchu was panicked, so she pushed her second brother's arm to let him go first.
"Wait, remember to use this medicine." Nangong Huaijin reminded, but when he looked at Mu Chenduan, his expression was very cold.
How did he know that Jia'er was injured? Mu Chenduan glanced at Zhan Yiming, and then Zhan Yiming exited the room and closed the door.
It's over, it's over, Qi Chuchu thought silently in his heart, only feeling that it was dangerous.
The next moment, Mu Chenduan walked to the opposite side of Nangong Huaijin, "How did you know that she was injured? Who are you?!"
"Your Majesty, I noticed that Miss Mingyue's arm felt unwell, so I came to deliver medicine."
After the words were finished, there was a moment of silence between the two of them. The tension was tense. Qi Chuchu saw Nangong Huaijin preparing to use the poison on Mu Chen. He didn't care too much and shouted quickly, "Second brother! Don't..."
"Second brother? Jia'er, what did you call him?" Mu Chenduan asked.
Qi Chuchu smiled, and finally the three of them sat down.
Mu Chenduan knew the whole story, and his hostility towards Nangong Huaijin almost disappeared, but he was a little scared.
Now that he had confessed like this, Nangong Huaijin no longer held back and said bluntly, "Your Highness Duan Wang, you knew that the inspection trip would not go well, why did you bring Jia'er, a weak woman, and cause her to suffer?" Such a serious injury! I wonder what His Highness Prince Duan’s intention is in treating his wife like this?"
Qi Chuchu was so embarrassed that her toes were on the ground, and she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have a brother who was protecting her sister.
Mu Chenduan's answer was somewhat unexpected to Qi Chuchu. What he said was, "I don't feel at ease when Jia'er is not in my sight."
