The pain from the wound came one after another.
Pei Yanzhou frowned slightly and didn't pay much attention.
There was a faint smell of blood floating in the air again, mixed with the strong smell of medicine. The man suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, Song Jinyin was not here, so the smell would not be uncomfortable.
"It's also thanks to the prince's help."
Shen Yuhe chuckled lightly, put the burned herbs into the bowl, and tapped it with a mallet.
"The Shen family hates to be in debt to others. I was originally thinking about how to repay the kindness of the prince, but I didn't expect that we would encounter such a thing. It's just a coincidence."
"Today's life-saving grace will be counted separately."
Pei Yanzhou came to his senses and showed his usual cold-blooded look of not caring. Even when he talked about his own affairs, he still didn't care much.
"The previous help was just to repay your kindness to her, no need to mention it again."
"she?"
"Well, you know who I'm talking about."
His words seemed to awaken the discomfort in his body.
Pei Yanzhou lowered his head and coughed lightly. He couldn't stop for a long time after opening his head. He didn't stop until discomfort came out of his throat again and he vomited blood.
It's just that the blood is different from the blood in the day, and the dull chest seems to feel a little better after vomiting.
"Your Majesty, you know, saving your life is not included in these words. It is equivalent to handing me a sword. If I were the Crown Prince, instead of leaving hidden dangers, it would be better to directly offset the help I received last time. And speaking of it, it would be a substitute for me." I don’t really want to accept Song Jinyin’s return of kindness.”
Shen Yuhe stepped forward and checked his pulse. After a long while, the worry on his brows disappeared.
At this time, everyone in the room was worried. Pei Yanzhou, who was sitting on the side bed, was calmer than anyone else. After hearing this, there was a coldness in the corners of his blood-stained lips.
Shen Yuhe was saying that he did not need Pei Yanzhou to repay Song Jinyin's help.
Thinking of this, Pei Yanzhou's face became darker.
Everything related to Song Jinyin in this world is his business. He does not allow others to get close to him, let alone interfere with him in the slightest.
"No need."
Pei Yanzhou's thin lips moved slightly. Even though he was seriously injured, he still felt an overwhelming pressure.
"Rather than letting her owe you a favor, I am not afraid to give you a sword. And not only this time, I will repay all the help you give her in the future."
"oh?"
A flash of surprise flashed across Shen Yuhe's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.
He thought that Pei Yanzhou would stand up for Song Jinyin and clear the relationship because he didn't want him to get close to Song Jinyin, but such a fearless tone made him stunned for a moment.
He suddenly remembered the time when Song Jinyin escaped from the house fire.
That day, the man in front of him was filled with murderous intent and cold and cold when he came to look for him. But as soon as he heard that Song Jinyin's body was not safe, he suppressed his temper, regained his sense, and treated him with courtesy.
Just for the possibility of seeing her in the future.
It was really embarrassing to think about it, but Shen Yuhe came back to his senses but did not restrain himself.
"I just heard that Miss Jin Yin has no plans to return to Kyoto with the prince."
"so what?"
Pei Yanzhou glanced at him and spoke without any hesitation.
"No matter where she is, my words will always count. It's just the same. If you and your junior sister are unfavorable to her one day, I will not be merciful because of the third prince, let alone be afraid of your Jiangnan Shen family. ."
Pei Yanzhou's voice was low and slow, not like the threatening tone of others, but it had an inexplicable aura that could not be ignored.
Shen Yuhe lowered his eyes and smiled, stood up and went outside again, handed the prepared medicine to Xuan Wei, and then continued to grind the black herbs.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jin Yin calls me Brother Shen, I won't do anything to her, and my junior sister... I am not on good terms with her, Your Majesty should have found out."
There was a sound of Jin Yin and Brother Shen falling down, and even Doctor Mu couldn't help but shudder.
This call of "big brother" is probably more genuine and closer than those casual shouts on weekdays.
Moreover, this man is also a powerful person, and he has taken good care of Miss Jin Yin's health. No matter what, he should be someone whom the girl cares about.
Thinking about it this way, apart from chasing him all the way here, what he did in the past few years is really not as good as this one.
Just as he was thinking about it, the coldness in the room stayed for a moment and then gradually dissipated, and the intimidating oppression also slowly dissipated.
The man on the bed did not mention the matter again, but closed his eyes in silence.
Looking from the outside, the man's pale side face has sharp edges and corners, and his faint weakness is covered by the loneliness on his body.
The mood is unclear, but it is also inexplicably sad.
For a long time, until everyone else thought that the person sitting on the bed had really fallen asleep, the man slowly spoke again.
The black eyes still didn't open, and the hoarse voice still showed exhaustion.
"Is there any letter from Kyoto City on this day?"
Pei Yanzhou did not avoid Shen Yuhe, who was dispensing medicine with Doctor Mu at the front. He even deliberately mentioned the owner of the embroidery shop when talking about Kyoto.
"Go back to my master, I received one each last night and today."
Xuanwei brought the things that he had been carrying for a whole day. He originally wanted to persuade his master to rest first, but he stopped what he wanted to say after feeling the calm momentum.
I sigh when I think about it.
As long as their master is awake, apart from Miss Jin Yin, the only thing he cares about is the city of Kyoto and nothing else.
Even the master himself didn't seem to take it to heart.
Xuanwei delivered the letter to Pei Yanzhou.
Seeing him open his eyes and take a look, he took half a step back.
"Interesting, the owner of the embroidery shop knew that I had checked on him, and he actually ran to Luo City."
"Yes, and more than that."
Xuanwei lowered his head and turned slightly to the side, so that his peripheral vision could reflect Shen Yuhe's figure outside.
"The people on the other end also saw the entourage of the General's Mansion, who was sent by the Xu family girl."
"Xu Youyi?"
Hearing this name, Pei Yanzhou frowned subconsciously, and then suddenly remembered that in Song Jinyin's mind, he had received the imperial decree to marry Xu Youyi.
Thinking of this, Pei Yanzhou felt a little upset.
Song Jinyin didn't want to listen to him before and didn't believe his explanation. Now that she has left, she will definitely not inquire about him in the future.
That means that Song Jinyin will think that he will marry the Crown Princess when he returns to Kyoto. Everything he does is for power, and she can get along with others without any burden and completely forget the past.
How is this possible?
The more Pei Yanzhou thought about it, the more unbearable he became, and he immediately wanted to get up and go find her and explain clearly what needed to be explained.
As soon as he touched the quilt, he thought of the dark sky and the people outside the inn who were watching them.
"Master, and the young master of the Yi family have also been detained. The Yi family should not know that he is here for a while, but the prefect's mansion is in chaos because of those assassins, and the other officials are also human beings. People are in danger and completely panicked.”
Xuanwei's words interrupted Pei Yanzhou's thoughts, and the eyes of the man who had been dazed gradually became clearer.
He didn't take the injury seriously, and just suppressed the impulse in his heart by doing business. He sat there all night until the light gradually came out outside.
...
Song Jinyin woke up after a full sleep. After opening her eyes and looking at the unfamiliar house, she paused for a long time before remembering that she was still paying to come to the inn.
When he pushed the door open and went out, he happened to meet Xuanwei bringing up the medicine. The dark concoction smelled bitter from a distance.
Pei Yanzhou used to avoid the pungent smell when taking medicine, so the medicine prescribed by the doctor tended to be mild.
The bowl in front of her immediately reminded her of Shen Yuhe.
"Miss Jinyin."
"Let me do it."
It was still a little early at this hour, and it was only a little bright outside. It was not easy for her to go back, and she also missed the people inside, so she could only feel relieved if she went to take a look first.
But as soon as Xuanwei opened the door for her, she saw the man inside standing with his back to the door, as if the wound had burst again and was being bandaged again.
When Song Jinyin looked over, she happened to see him without his shirt on, exposing his muscular back.
Many old scars are crisscrossed on his strong back. Just by looking at them, you can tell how dangerous the injuries were and how strong this man is.
Song Jinyin had touched him countless times, rubbed his back, and applied medicine to him.
But now it seems like a world away.
When she saw him again, she felt inexplicably shy and turned her head in panic. She was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
"Is that person from the Yi family still awake?"
Pei Yanzhou heard the sound of the door opening and thought it was Lin Jingxiu who had returned from interrogating Yi Xudong.
Xuan Wei mentioned that the man was just a slutty idiot, but he just looked at the torture of the other boys and fainted from fear, leaving Lin Jingxiu furious.
After asking this question, Pei Yanzhou couldn't help coughing again, and then continued: "When I woke up, I directly asked him about the Yi family's account books and the route map of the goods. Maybe the delivery was fake, and the truth is to deceive others." ."
After the words fell, there was no response from the room for a long time.
Pei Yanzhou finally stopped coughing and noticed something strange, so he turned around and looked over.
It wasn't too bright outside, and the candlelight inside the house was still shining brightly.
At this time, not far away, the girl with pursed lips did not look at him, but stood quietly at the door, as if reflected in the light and shadow, her whole body was soft, holding a bowl of medicine in her hand, and her cheeks were stained A touch of crimson.
Pei Yanzhou didn't expect to see her again, and his heart skipped a beat.
As if he had tasted the joy of belonging to the young man, regardless of the fact that the dressing was still being applied to the wound, the man strode forward, took the things in her hands and put them down. He couldn't help but take her hand, and instantly lowered his voice.
"You didn't leave yesterday?"
"Um."
Song Jinyin didn't dare to look at him at first, but out of the corner of her eye she saw that his wound was still bleeding, and her face didn't look much better, so she didn't care to avoid it for the moment.
"Did you sleep well at the inn?"
"Why is the wound still cracking?"
The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and when the words fell, Pei Yanzhou saw her frowning slightly, and then recovered his thoughts and recovered from the joy of seeing her.
Because her wounds were stained with poison, they looked more hideous and terrifying than ordinary wounds, which might have frightened her.
But no one wants to let the person they love see their own embarrassment.
Thinking of this, the man immediately let go of her hand.
When he turned around, his heart throbbed, but he instantly hid the loneliness in his eyes.
