Chapter 17
Hearing the movement, Bai Jiuxiao quickly gathered up his clothes and turned his head.

Seeing that it was Ning Shiqian, his eyes lit up with joy: "Are you still asleep?"

Ning Shiqian was a little embarrassed, originally he was afraid that something would happen to her, but he didn't expect this scene in the room.

"Sleeping, get up to fetch water," Ning Shiqian held up the teapot in his hand, and explained softly, "I saw blood stains in front of your door, so come in and have a look."

Bai Jiuxiao was delighted to hear it.

So concerned about her safety!

Suddenly remembered what was said in the green mist at night, people like her, Sang Lin can be punished by everyone.

In Da Zhao, a bunch of people wanted to put her to death.

The only ones who are really worried about her safety are her brother the emperor and this man in front of her.

She poured a glass of water from the pot, got up and sent it to Ning Shiqian.

Ning Shiqian didn't pick it up: "No, I'll go downstairs and ask Xiao Er to make a pot."

After speaking, he turned around and went out the door.

Bai Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows, got used to his awkwardness, so he didn't care, and drank the water by himself.

Putting the cup back on the table, she was about to close the door, but found that Ning Shiqian had left and returned again.

After entering the house, he closed the door for her.

Bai Jiuxiao looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Ning Shiqian walked to the table, put down the teapot in his hand, and reached out to her: "Medicine."

"What?" Bai Jiuxiao didn't understand.

"Didn't you just take the medicine? Can you get it?" Ning Shiqian asked in a calm voice.

Oh.

Bai Jiuxiao was pleasantly surprised.

So, this is to help her take the medicine personally?
Hastily said: "I can't get up, I can't get up, it's on my back, I can't reach it with my hands."

Quickly picked up the medicine bottle on the table and handed it to him, then sat down on the stool.

Ning Shiqian: "."

She was only wearing a pajamas, and he could see the wounds inside through the material of the pajamas.

Obviously badly hurt.

That's why he came back to give her medicine after thinking about it.

Firstly, she was indeed seriously injured, and secondly, she really couldn't get any medicine herself.

Of course, there is another most important reason, that is, he wants to know how she got hurt, after all, he is Sang Lin's hidden guard.

Seeing that he didn't move, Bai Jiuxiao turned to look at him: "Let's start."

Ning Shiqian pursed his lips slightly, and slowly pulled down the back collar of her shirt.

When his eyes touched the dense scars on her back, he held his breath for a moment, very shocked.

Although he knew that as a hidden guard, he walked on the tip of the knife every day, and every mission was life-threatening, but he was still shocked to see a woman with such new wounds on her body, and no good flesh.

This is how many lives and deaths he has experienced to end up with such injuries.

This is just the back, he believes that her front is definitely not much better.

If the collar fades down again, it will be a new injury tonight.

Bloody.

It looked like he was injured by some hidden weapon.

"Is it darts?" he asked.

"Ah."

"Who hurt it?" He asked again seemingly unintentionally.

"you do not know."

Bai Jiuxiao naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, and didn't want him to be involved in these disputes.

"Why are you so injured? What is your job?" Ning Shiqian probed further.

It was only then that Bai Jiuxiao remembered those old scars on her back, and she forgot even if she didn't mention them.

Uh, I kind of regret putting him on the medicine.

The book described that women's skin was like creamy fat, but she had hideous scars, he would think it ugly.

After thinking about it, she said, "A job where many people want to kill me."

Ning Shiqian was startled.

Many people want to kill her?

Shouldn't it be that she needs to perform a mission to kill a lot of people?

Don't ask too much.

"Hold on, I'm on medicine."

"It's okay, little hurt."

To her, this injury was nothing worth mentioning, and she couldn't die.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jiuxiao regretted it.

Showing weakness, showing weakness, how could she forget?

So, when she felt that Ning Shiqian poured the powder on her wound, she exaggeratedly exhaled in pain: "Ah, it hurts!"

Ning Shiqian sweated: "I haven't started it yet."

Bai Jiuxiao: "."

Call early!
Ning Shiqian frowned and looked at the wound: "How did you take out the dart?"

"It was shaken out with internal force."

She couldn't reach it with her hands, and she didn't want to go to the clinic, so she could only use her internal strength.

Ning Shiqian remained silent.

He also used his internal force to force out the hidden weapon in his body, and he knew what an extremely painful experience it was.

"The wound needs to be cleaned before applying medicine. Is there any water?"

"Yes." Bai Jiuxiao pointed to the copper basin on the table.

Ning Shiqian put the medicine bottle on the table.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a token under the sword on the table.

Safflower and Green Leaf Brand!
Ning Shiqian stared lightly at the light, his expression remained calm, and he held his sleeves in a calm manner.

It really is his father's hidden guard!
During the day he was so deliberate and wanted to find this token from her body, but he didn't expect to see it so easily at night.

Bai Jiuxiao looked at him quietly, feeling that every movement of his was so elegant and beautiful.

The hands are also good-looking, with well-defined joints.

Even the blue veins on the back of the hands and wrists are perfect and impeccable.

Ning Shiqian took the veil on the edge of the copper basin, soaked it in clear water, wrung out some water, and came behind her.

Bai Jiuxiao suddenly remembered something, turned around and grasped his hand that was about to wipe her wound.

"There is poison on the dart, I am immune to all poisons, no problem, but you need to be extremely careful."

She was sitting, while Ning Shiqian was standing. The neckline of her pajamas had already been pulled down, and when she turned around to face him, from his perspective, a large piece of scenery in front of her was exposed to him. in sight.

Sure enough, it was also full of scars.

Ning Shiqian's eyes moved slightly, and he looked away: "Got it."

Only then did Bai Jiuxiao let go of his hand, turned around and sat down.

Ning Shiqian took a wet kerchief and gently wiped the blood on the edge of the wound.

Then put it in a copper basin to clean the veil and wipe it again.

Bai Jiuxiao regretted not bringing the bronze mirror over, otherwise he would have been able to appreciate him taking the medicine to his heart's content.

Seeing the saber she put on the table, she picked it up with a thought.

Pulling the long sword out of the scabbard, she raised it up and pretended to check the blade.

The shining sword body is like a bronze mirror, clearly reflecting the peerless face of the man behind him.

She raised her eyebrows lightly, admiring it.

Feeling his patient and gentle movements, she suddenly felt that the injury could actually be a little more serious, of course, it would be even better if it was on the chest.

When she recovered from her wild thoughts, she found that the medicine powder had been sprinkled on the wound.

It is obviously too late to show weakness and cry pain again.

Hey, another great opportunity was missed.

It was too early just now, and now it's too late.

But what Ning Shiqian was thinking at this time was, could it be that his father sent her here not only to monitor him, but also for other tasks?

Otherwise, how could it hurt like this!
It was a hidden weapon, and it was highly poisonous. The other party obviously wanted to kill her completely.

"The medicine is ready, you have to wrap it up, otherwise, it will stick to your clothes."

Bai Jiuxiao quickly handed him the clean cloth that was prepared on the table.
