Everyone was kept in the palace for investigation. There was no intention of releasing them yet, and the atmosphere was unusually solemn and panicked.
"What's wrong with Unzen-sister?!"
At this time, Xia Yunxian had returned to Liang Qianqian's place. Although the two siblings were slightly injured, she still felt uneasy.
Just after checking their pulse, her body suddenly stiffened, and Liang Qianqian immediately held her hand nervously, "Are you injured? I mean, how could you escape unscathed in such a dangerous place!"
The young girl was so anxious that she was about to cry. She suddenly realized that she had been too naive in the past. This was the first time Liang Qianqian had experienced death so close.
She also wanted to practice medicine in the military and treat the wounded on the battlefield.
But just now, she was so frightened that she couldn't walk. If Liang Yuanyi hadn't protected her in time, her head would have been exploded by the flying flint!
At this time, she looked at Liang Yuanyi, who was being scolded by Duke Liang not far away, feeling extremely guilty in her heart.
It didn't take much to figure out that my grandfather was blaming his cousin for not taking good care of him, putting her in danger and getting injured.
But Liang Qianqian knew that when the danger occurred, her mind went blank. On the contrary, her cousin, who usually seemed to be doing no business, discovered the abnormality in time and grabbed her first, regardless of his own life and death!
"It's okay, it's just that my internal organs received a little impact." She was affected by Xiao Wu's internal energy, and now she felt severe pain all over her body. It might be difficult to save her life.
Compared to Bai Yujing who was covered in blood, her minor injuries were nothing.
At this time, a cold figure not far away quickly attracted Liang Qianqian's attention, "It's Jin'er! Fortunately, she didn't go to the theater with us at that time."
Song Jin'er saw them looking over and hesitated for a long time before walking towards them.
But when she saw the blood stains on Xia Yunxian's dress, her eyes froze and she subconsciously avoided it. She seemed to be a little distracted.
"Have you heard that Mr. Bai asked the emperor for a marriage? He said that Doctor Xia saved his life!"
"Are you going to commit yourself to this? But..." This tone was obviously a bit difficult to explain.
"Yes, Master Bai still likes to repay kindness with hatred as before."
The news spread like wildfire quickly, and until nightfall, Bai Yujing finally woke up and suddenly started coughing while taking medicine.
"Ahem, these people...really think I'm so miserable?"
Although the expression on his face was dissatisfied, his tone was joyful.
Xiao Wu, who was next to him, certainly understood what his master was thinking, "My lord, I am happy for Miss Xia, because no one said that she was not worthy of you, but instead felt that you were taking advantage of others."
Bai Yujing chuckled, and then looked out the window.
All the guests are still stranded in the palace. With such a big thing happening, they probably won't be able to leave without staying for a day or two.
"It's quite lively." Is that girl also thinking about him somewhere in the palace?
He had survived many disasters in the past, but never once did he feel that the future was as full of hope as it was now.
"There is news from the Queen Mother's Palace that Princess Yinghua's cat is dead and fell into the lake and drowned."
The Queen Mother's birthday turned into a mess. After she returned home, she drank tea to calm her down, only to find that her favorite parrot had been eaten. You can imagine how she felt.
But she devoted herself to the Buddha and could not get blood on her hands.
Thinking of this, Bai Yujing smiled again.
Soon, a light figure stood at the door. Xiao Wu's eyes flashed, but soon he let down his vigilance. When he opened the door, it turned out to be Xia Yunxian.
The woman's face was pale and she had already changed into clean clothes. Because she was from the Royal Hospital, she did not have to stay with the guests for questioning at this time and could move around.
"I'll give him medicine."
As soon as Xiao Wu saw her expression, he knew that Miss Xia had something to say to his master, so he wisely withdrew.
She walked lightly and slowly approached the couch. The man had already sat up. His face was pale and bloodless, but he looked at her with unusual tenderness.
"I've already taken the medicine."
"The injury this time is different. I need to drink one more bowl."
"Why is it different? I have survived more serious injuries than this in the past."
Bai Yujing was always resistant to the medicine given by Xia Yunxian. The woman in front of him made a move, then gently put the medicine aside and sat down.
She just looked at him quietly, and there seemed to be a ray of spring gently swaying in her deep eyes. There was conflict and hesitation, struggle and hesitation, but more of it was a kind of regret and powerlessness.
"Don't look at me like this. Is it okay for me to drink?"
Bai Yujing quickly surrendered. He didn't like Xia Yunxian's current expression very much.
It was as if I wanted to say goodbye to him.
Seeing him obediently drink up the bowl of bitter medicine, Xia Yunxian let out a long sigh.
Just as she was about to speak, Bai Yujing interrupted her, "I won't listen, you'd better get out."
He was like a child having a tantrum. Xia Yunxian raised her eyes and suddenly felt that Bai Yujing really understood her.
"I've been thinking about you for a long time."
Bai Yujing should have been happy when he heard such words, but Xia Yunxian's tone gave him a bad feeling.
"Are you angry? I asked the emperor to grant the marriage without consulting you." She has always been very independent and must be dissatisfied with her own plundering.
But he thought that Xia Yunxian should have gotten used to it and was ready to accuse him when she woke up.
But this time, it seems to be very different.
"It's not your fault, it's mine." Xia Yunxian seemed very calm this time, and this guilty tone made Bai Yujing secretly think something was wrong.
"I have never been able to clarify my feelings for you, and I have never dared to think about it deeply. Now that I have escaped from the Hou Mansion and regained my freedom, I should think about the future."
After a period of silence, Bai Yujing frowned slightly, "You have thought clearly, there is no me in your future, right?"
Xia Yunxian's eyes dimmed, and this time she took the initiative to hold his hand.
Bai Yujing felt that her hands were still trembling slightly and extremely cold, which showed that the assassination had a great impact on her.
Perhaps, he really shouldn't force her to agree to the marriage at this time.
But it seems too late to regret now.
"Bai Yujing, what you need is a wife with a strong background. You will encounter such things in the future, and you should have very important things to do. Only such a wife can help you."
He needs help, not just a few words or a little cleverness, but real power.
She can detoxify him, but she can't mobilize troops for him anytime and anywhere.
She might even become a burden to him.
Xia Yunxian knew too well the feeling of carrying forward with a burden, and she would never allow herself to become like the Liu family.
