Chapter 5
Why did I come here by accident?

When it was all over, Shu Yao ordered Pine Needle to ask the doorman to open the courtyard door.

She would like to see what kind of person her horse ran into.

This small courtyard is named after a pear tree. The name is elegant, but few people set foot in it, and the environment is quiet.

Shu Yao was surrounded by servants, and as soon as she approached the door, she smelled a strong smell of medicine.Her nose is good, not only the medicine, but also a faint smell of blood, reminding her of the black and red blood at her feet before she fell into a coma.

Her pretty face turned pale, she paused when she stepped over the threshold, and raised her voice boldly, asking the servant beside her, "Is he awake?"

The servant said respectfully: "No. I have invited the doctor to see him before. The doctor said that he was not only trampled, but also beaten in many places. The injuries are serious. He will be in a coma for at least two or three days before he wakes up."

Shu Yao reservedly said, her hands were shaking, but her face was expressionless, she lifted her skirt and stepped over the threshold with a slender demeanor.

The smell of medicine was stronger.

The young man was lying flat on the bed, wearing a plain white jacket, with one arm hanging down, revealing the bandaged cloth around his wrist.The most seriously injured place was the chest, even though it was wrapped in a bandage, there was faint blood oozing out.

Pine Needle whispered, "Fortunately, I didn't hurt my face."

No wonder she has such an exclamation.

The young man in front of him had a handsome and beautiful face, fair complexion, black and thick eyelashes, fragile and thin, like a pet raised by a wealthy family.

Chunrui moved the bench, and Shu Yao sat down beside the bed.

According to Mrs. Pan, he is the concubine son of the servant of the household department, and his name is Li Mingji.Shu Yao remembered that Mr. Li had a very upright temperament.Previously, my uncle wanted to use his private treasury to build her a beautiful princess mansion, but Master Li stopped her by saying, "The princesses haven't left the palace to build a mansion, so it's biased." The noise in the imperial study room was ugly, and my uncle was embarrassed for several days because of it.

I really didn't expect that Mr. Li, that old-fashioned scholar, would have such a handsome bastard, and it would fall into her hands.

Thinking this way in her heart, Shu Yao's eyes were fixed on the young man's chest. She had no experience in judging injuries, so she just felt that the color of his clothes was wrong, was it still bleeding?

She stood up and tried to lift up the young man's clothes, but just as her hand touched the edge of the clothes, she was grabbed by a strong force.

The young man suddenly opened his eyes, his black eyes were as dark as a deep pool, and he locked on Shu Yao heavily.

The atmosphere in the room changed instantly, like a beast opening its eyes in the night, dangerous and aggressive.

The servants behind him held their breath involuntarily, their backs were covered with cold sweat, and they trembled.Only Shu Yao by the bed was ignorant, a thought suddenly crossed her mind, these eyes looked familiar, where did she see them?

"presumptuous!"

"Don't even think about offending the princess!"

The two maidservants suddenly made a sound, and the young man on the bed tilted his head and fell asleep again.

Chunrui wiped Shu Yao's hands with a handkerchief, and was so angry that she said, "Princess, be careful, it will be bad if you get sick."

He looked weak and frail, and he didn't know where the strength came from. The princess's skin was already tender, but he turned red with such a light touch.

Shu Yao herself was also quite frightened. Considering the majesty of the princess, she just snorted and lifted her chin slightly: "I know."

The courtyard was gloomy, and it was truly terrifying. Shu Yao really had no interest in staying here after coming out like this just now, so she ordered a few words and left the room.

Everyone circled around Shu Yao, so no one noticed that Li Mingji, who was unconscious on the bed, opened those dark, wolf-like eyes again.

The wound wrapped in gauze was bleeding again due to the opening, feeling the pain in his chest, he curled his thin lips and smiled.

Not a dream.

He saw her.

*
It was late at night, and the house was quiet, Shu Yao was upset, and instead of going back to the Begonia Courtyard where she lived, she went for a walk in the back garden.

A few lamps were lit in the garden, and a tall figure in a familiar purple robe was seen from a distance, it was Xie Yanzhou.

In front of him stood a young girl.

Shu Ningyou.

She held a box in her hand, with an apologetic smile, "My lord, I'm really sorry, the little girl took the wrong box, is this your jade pendant?"

Jade?

Shu Yao moved her ears, winked at the two maids, and hid behind the bushes.

Xie Yanzhou opened the box, saw the familiar jade pendant, nodded and said, "Thank you."

After getting the jade pendant, Xie Yanzhou was not in a good mood.This was a gift from Shu Yao himself. He was very happy in the past, so he always wore it by his side.Just forgot to bring it for a day, and Shu Yao received a cold face.

What does Shu Yao think of him, his own property?He wears a jade pendant, does Shu Yao have to take care of it?

The more Xie Yanzhou thought about it, the more upset he became. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Shu Ningyou's face. The girl's face was clear and beautiful. Although she was not as beautiful as Shu Yao, she was still considered a delicate beauty.

She wears a pair of Xiuyu earrings.

Noticing Xie Yanzhou's gaze, Shu Ningyou's face became slightly hot, and he touched his earlobes unconsciously, "This pair of earrings...is given to me by your son, I like it very much."

Did he send it?

Oh, Xie Yanzhou remembered that when Shu Ningyou brought the jade pendant, he asked the boy to go to the storeroom to pick something up as a gift in return, it probably happened at that time.

He casually commented: "Not bad."

After getting the jade pendant, it was time to leave.Xie Yanzhou turned around to leave, but saw a petite shadow.

Shu Yao was standing at the end of the path.

She saw the jade pendant in the box.

Xie Yanzhou lied.

It's not that the jade pendant was forgotten, but it wasn't on him at all.

Shu Yao hated the three of Pan's mother and son, and she hardly had any contact with them when she was in the mansion, and only stayed in her own yard.There are any banquets in the capital, and she never walks with Shu Ningyou.

But Xie Yanzhou, her childhood sweetheart, who has been called brother since childhood, would actually hide his relationship with Shu Ningyou, and even deceive her.

Xie Yanzhou panicked, and quickly explained: "Yaoyao, I accidentally left the jade pendant before, but now I have found it, I will definitely remember it in the future..."

Chunrui couldn't help but said: "My son, the princess is not a narrow-minded person. If you tell the truth to the princess, will she be angry? Why lie to her?"

Pine Needles answered in a hurry: "At the racecourse today, I saw with my own eyes that it was the horse that broke the rein and ran out, not the Princess. Just now at the dinner, why didn't you speak for the Princess in front of Lord Hou, instead let them criticize the Princess? ? The princess didn't blame you for not protecting her well!"

Chunrui has a strong aura, and pine needles are careful, and what she discovers are all the details that directly poke Xie Yanzhou's heart.Xie Yanzhou was so blocked that he couldn't say a word, his face paled, and he said in a low voice: "I..."

Shu Yao said calmly: "It's fine."

Silence immediately.

Xie Yanzhou was holding the box containing the jade pendant, and stood there as if being nailed, watching Shu Yao walking towards him step by step, stretched out his slender hand, and picked up the jade pendant.

"Snapped--"

shattered.
