The kowtow ceremony at the Zixiang Hall in Changjing Mountain is complex and cumbersome. Xiao Yuehuai paid attention to the actions of everyone in the front hall and had no time to think about why Su Ying failed to arrive on time.
After meeting the guests, I followed Alu to the Kongqing Garden connected to the main hall.
At the end of the day, she was waiting in the side room with a long knife in her hand, nervously waiting for something.
Suddenly, there was a banging sound outside the door, and then it fell to the ground.
Like a person.
Xiao Yuehuai held the handle of the knife, her hands were cold and her fingers were slightly moist.
She moved her steps and approached the wooden door carefully little by little. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she kicked the door open and shouted loudly: "Brother Tingwu! Don't worry, I will protect myself very well!"
Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, she found Su Ying lying on the corridor covered in blood, with doubts and confusion in her eyes. She was shocked by what she shouted.
Xiao Yuehuai was startled and exclaimed: "General Su? Su Ying? What's going on? Why are you so seriously injured?"
The man had two sword wounds on his arms and back, and his clothes were wet.
Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of an arrow shooting from the direction of the wall. He quickly stood up and pounced on the princess, protecting her under his body. The sharp arrow pierced his shoulder, and the blood-stained arrow was only a hair's breadth away from Xiao Yuehuai. She was so frightened that she let go of the knife in her hand and stopped breathing suddenly.
Su Ying groaned, the veins on his forehead suddenly popped up, and layers of cold sweat oozed out. But he still restrained himself and said to Xiao Yuehui in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, princess, I am here."
She started to tremble inexplicably, and the soles of her feet suddenly felt cold, which spread to her whole body.
Outside the garden, someone seemed to be fighting, and swords were heard frequently.
I do not know how long it has been.
Su Ying seemed to know when people outside would come in. The moment the silver-armored guard rushed into the garden, he moved away and stumbled towards the depths of the verandah, disappearing from sight.
Xiao Yuehuai sat on the ground, her clothes stained with his blood. She didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at Lang Jun who ran over from behind the screen wall, her eyes losing warmth.
"Ah Huai! Why are you covered in blood? Are you injured anywhere? Am I too late?"
The person in front of her was dressed in pure white clothes with a dove jade on her waist. Her figure blocked the setting sun in the sky, reflecting in her eyes as pure as frost and snow.
"Brother Tingwu..."
"Why did you come?"
Xiao Yuehuai murmured to herself, her mind suddenly emptying out at this moment.
Arriving with the silver-armored guards was Yuanyuchuan, the eldest grandson of Duke Jingguo, whose courtesy name was Tingwu.
Seeing the princess's lost state and pale face, he stepped forward anxiously, took her into the house, and invited a group of medical officers to examine her.
Xiao Yuehuai looked at the man in front of her silently, her eyes red.
His ending in the last life was replayed in his mind, and his heart suddenly ached. He was unbearably sad and frightened, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing this, Yuan Yuchuan asked at a loss: "Ah Huai? What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? What's going on? You're not injured... Why is there so much blood on your body?"
Xiao Yuehuai's expression was dull, she was just weeping and couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
Yuan Yuchuan softened his tone, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and comforted him gently: "Ah Huai, don't be afraid. I'm here...no one will hurt you anymore."
These similar words made Xiao Yuehuai suddenly think of another person, and he immediately shivered and sat upright.
Yuanyuchuan looked surprised and cautiously called out: "Ah Huai?"
Xiao Yuehuai came back to her senses, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered: "Brother Wu, I'm fine. An assassin suddenly appeared in the Changjing Mountain Palace. There must be something wrong. I'm worried that my father, the Queen, and the Empress are ill... Can I ask you to go to the Zixiang Palace to have a look?"
Seeing that she was conscious and clear, Yuan Yuchuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand. You can rest peacefully first, and I will take care of the assassin's matter."
Xiao Yuehuai nodded, his eyes showing anxiety. Yuanyuchuan thought she was worried about the situation of Zitang Palace, so he stopped staying and led a group of people out of Kongqingyuan without stopping.
Half of the silver-armored guards in front of the corridor dispersed, and Xiao Yuehuai immediately slipped to the back of the corridor, looking for the blood dripping on the ground, and found Su Ying hiding in the rockery cave.
The man had completely fainted, and the blood spilled from his shoulder stained the rockery wall red.
Xiao Yuehuai hurriedly stretched out her hand to detect his breath. After feeling a faint touch of heat, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the nearby passenger compartment, gritted her teeth, stretched out her hands to carry Su Ying on her back, and dragged him into the courtyard with all her strength. This man was so tall that when he pressed on her shoulders, his legs and knees almost dropped to the ground.
Without alerting the maids and attendants in the garden, Xiao Yuehuai went around from the back corridor, pushed open the guest compartment and pulled Su Ying in. The room was deserted, with a few candles scattered here and there, which she lit one by one.
After busying back and forth for a while, I finally prepared the medicine, soldering iron, and hot charcoal stove.
Although it was not clear what happened, based on Su Ying's behavior of avoiding everyone and hiding in the back garden just now, Xiao Yuehuai guessed that he did not want people to know that he was seriously injured.
Therefore, she did not bring the medical officer invited by Yuanyuchuan to the guest room, but planned to stop his bleeding herself.
Xiao Yuehuai poked Su Ying with her finger and called, "General Su?"
The man was completely dizzy. When she leaned over and took a closer look, she found that the mattress under him was soaked with blood. She was immediately frightened: How could he still survive after bleeding so much?
Xiao Yuehuai swallowed her throat, thought about it over and over, and prepared to become a live doctor.
She got excited, grabbed Su Ying's clothes and put his head on her lap, then tore off his clothes, picked up the already red soldering iron on the side, imitated the way the generals treated wounds in her memory, and pointed it at the man. Lang pressed hard on the wound on his back.
The unpleasant smell of burnt meat hit her face, and she almost vomited, a wave of chills and panic surged into her heart. Su Ying only trembled, not even groaning, as if it was not him who was being burned.
Seeing that the blood pouring out of the wound was obviously less, Xiao Yuehuai relaxed his tense nerves and continued to glue the sword wound for him. This cut was really scary, and it was obviously cut to death with a cruel heart.
Those assassins were extremely vicious.
What happened in Kong Qingyuan was different from what she remembered. Xiao Yuehuai probably expected that Su Ying's appearance changed everything. It turned out that in her previous life, it was Yuanyuchuan who rushed into Kong Qingyuan to block an arrow for her.
Xiao Yuehuai looked at the man on the bed with extremely complicated emotions.
Why? This person risked his life and everything to save her once or twice?
Xiao Yuehuai couldn't think of a reason to explain his behavior, so she moved her fingers to the feather arrow that penetrated his shoulder, carefully cut off half of it with a short blade, sprinkled some medicine, and wrapped the wound with gauze to temporarily reduce the amount of bleeding. .
Staring at the cold and shaking arrow, she felt slightly worried.
She could handle other wounds, but removing the arrow...had to be done by a medical officer. Because an abscess can be infected accidentally, and if it causes high fever, the consequences will be disastrous.
