Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 18 Returning with Victory (3)
"Uncle Zhang!" Chu Ning called him, her face was a little pale, and she only said softly, "You don't need to find a doctor, is there any wound medicine in the house? Help me deliver it to my room."

Zhang Bo hesitated for a while, but still listened to what Chuning said, and ran to find medicine.

As soon as Chuning entered the room, Uncle Zhang ran in with the medicine on his back.

"Uncle Zhang, you go out first, I'll do it myself."

Uncle Zhang was taken aback, but he still replied: "Yes."

As soon as Uncle Zhang went out, Chuning breathed a sigh of relief. She could not bandage her at the Prince Jin's mansion, nor could she invite a doctor. Otherwise, her identity would be revealed, and the crime of deceiving the emperor would be minor. If Wei Linglong could not be rescued, it would be a serious problem.

Chuning's shoulders and his entire left arm were already numb with pain, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his underwear and outer shirt were stained with blood.

She took off the outer shirt with one hand, and was about to untie the corset, when the door was suddenly pushed open, Chuning raised her hand, and the killing intent in her eyes slowly faded when she saw Xie Ziyu.

"This is not where His Highness should come." Chuning frowned and said.

Xie Ziyu didn't speak, just closed the door and walked towards her quickly.

"I'll help you." Xie Ziyu picked up the bandage and said in a deep voice.

Chuning didn't refuse. Her one-handed bandaging was definitely not as good as Xie Ziyu's bandaging. What's more, everything that should be seen and what should not be seen was seen. Experience told her that there was no need to make unnecessary struggles at this time.

Xie Ziyu carefully unbuttoned Chuning's blood-stained clothes. She was wearing men's clothing inside and out, and the innermost part was wrapped with cloth strips that corseted her chest, tightly covering her chest.

The wound on her shoulder was the most serious. Besides, there were many scratches on her body, all of which were left during the fight. Xie Ziyu's eyes shrank slightly, and while applying medicine to Chuning, he said softly Said: "Sorry."

Chu Ning was slightly taken aback, and then smiled indifferently: "Your Highness, don't worry about it. I am the one who agreed to the competition. Your Highness is not related to me, how can I stop it?"

Xie Ziyu paused slightly, then reached out to take the bandage, and while helping her bandage, stated a fact: "We have prayed."

Chuning smiled again: "That's Chuning, not Ning Chu. His Highness can help Chuning, but there is no reason to help Ning Chu."

Xie Ziyu was silent, yes, because she was "Ning Chu", he couldn't stop her.

The room suddenly became very quiet, Xie Ziyu helped Chuning bandage the wound.Her forehead was sweating all the time, and her face was terribly pale. After bandaging for so long, she never even groaned. Only her clenched teeth and slightly furrowed brows revealed the pain she was enduring at the moment.

"Where are your clothes?" Xie Ziyu stood up and asked.

"In the closet." Chuning pointed with his right hand not far away.

Xie Ziyu walked over, opened the cabinet, took a white undershirt from it, and carefully helped her put it on.

His movements were very gentle, his slender fingers brushed over her smooth skin, bringing a slight warmth, he was dressed seriously, as if he was a husband serving his sick wife, Chu Ning was stunned for a moment, but she soon returned After regaining his senses, he whispered, "Thank you."

Xie Ziyu glanced at her calmly, didn't say anything else, just said: "Take a good rest."

Chu Ning was in a deep sleep, and his forehead was sweating all the time. Xie Ziyu touched her forehead and found that it was very hot. He pondered for a moment, and said to the outside: "Su Ye, bring me someone here, remember, don't let me Anyone who finds out, let alone reveal your identity."

"Master, don't worry, my subordinates are very experienced in such things as stealing and changing posts." Su Ye responded, and disappeared in an instant.

Not long after, Xie Ziyu heard someone knock on the door, and Su Ye's voice came in: "Master, someone brought it here, please hurry up, we can only last for an hour."

Xie Ziyu opened the door, and the woman in a cloak looked up. When she saw Xie Ziyu, a look of shock flashed in her eyes: "His Royal Highness?"

"Come in."

Full of doubts, Wei Linglong walked in, and when she saw Chu Ning lying on the bed, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "A-Ning!"

As soon as the words fell, her expression changed a little. She turned her head to look at Xie Ziyu, as if regretting her impulsiveness just now.

"You don't need to hide her identity. This king is very clear about her identity. That's why I asked you to come here. She was injured, and only you can heal her." Xie Ziyu said calmly.

As soon as she heard that Chu Ning was injured, Wei Linglong sat down on the bedside and took her pulse. After a while, Wei Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there is no danger to her life. I will prescribe a few medicines and trouble Your Highness to find someone to decoct her." Give her a drink, and don't let her use force for the next month."

Wei Linglong quickly wrote the prescription. Xie Ziyu picked up the prescription, read it carefully, and handed it to Su Ye outside the door: "Have someone decoct the medicine."

After Su Ye left, Xie Ziyu returned to the room, took the towel beside him, and gently wiped off the sweat for Chuning.

Seeing Xie Ziyu's movements, Wei Linglong could see the shock in her eyes. This former high-ranking and rumoredly unfeminine His Royal Highness Rong Wang was carefully wiping Chuning's sweat at this moment, with a gentleness hidden in the silence.

"It turns out that the person Aning met was His Highness." Wei Linglong recovered from the shock and said softly.

Although Chu Ning left the imperial capital, she kept in touch with her all the time. She knew that Chu Ning had encountered many things along the way, but Chu Ning didn't explain in detail, so she didn't ask in detail.

Xie Ziyu looked up at her and asked, "How did she tell you?"

Wei Linglong smiled slightly and said, "She only said that she met a troublesome person."

Xie Ziyu was taken aback when he heard this, then smiled and said, "That's exactly what she said."

"Master, I want to take him away!" After a while, Su Ye pushed the door in and said.

Wei Linglong took a look at Xie Ziyu, and said, "A-Ning is a good woman, please don't disappoint Your Highness."

After finishing speaking, she followed Su Ye and walked out. With Xie Ziyu by Chuning's side, she was very relieved. Even if this person would not rescue her, he would never stand by and watch Chuning.

When Chuning woke up, it was already night, she opened her eyes, and saw Xie Ziyu sitting by the bed, Ruyu's face was flickering under the warm yellow candlelight, as if she was playing with something in her hands.

"Why is Your Highness still here?" Her voice was a little hoarse and weak just after she had a fever.

Chuning struggled to sit up, Xie Ziyu quickly took a cushion and put it behind her to make her sit more comfortably.

Chuning's eyes fell on Xie Ziyu's hand, and she realized that what he was playing with just now was actually the white jade hairpin, and her face suddenly turned pale again.

Seeing her expression, Xie Ziyu pretended to insert the white jade hairpin into Chuning's hair casually, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Ah Ning was accidentally injured because of this hairpin. How can this king abandon Ah Ning?"

At that time, what fell out of her cuff was this white jade hairpin. Others didn't see it clearly, but he could see it clearly.

Chuning's face turned pale, she just looked at Xie Ziyu without speaking.

Xie Ziyu gently caressed her face with his slender fingers, and there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes: "A Ning, you care about me, don't you?"

"Your Highness thinks too much... um..." Before Chu Ning finished speaking, Xie Ziyu's lips had already covered his lips. He kissed without mercy, as if punishing her for her insincere words. She was suppressed by him and couldn't move. Being able to bear it passively, the originally pale face flushed a little at this time.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Ziyu finally let go of her. Chuning stared at Xie Ziyu, gnashing his teeth angrily: "Xie Ziyu!"

"Ok?"

"You, if you do this again, don't blame me..." Chuning gritted his teeth and pondered his words.

"Huh? How are you doing?" A certain person didn't know to reflect on his shameless behavior at all, instead, he approached her shamelessly and stole another sweet kiss on her lips.

Chu Ning was caught off guard by the kiss, and immediately raised his forehead and said: "As the saying goes, a man and a woman can't kiss each other, and the little girl will marry in the future. Please respect your future married woman."

Xie Ziyu listened, and smiled softly, "A Ning, you are wrong, you don't have to wait for the future, you are a married woman now." After a pause, he moved closer to her, and continued, "Since you are married If you are a married woman, don't think about remarrying, because... Even if you remarry, I am the only one you can marry."

His voice is deep and deep, his eyes are as burning as the brightest star in the dark night, he seems to be careless, but it seems that he is bound to win.

Chu Ning looked at him calmly for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Where does Your Highness get his confidence?"

"Because you have me in your heart." Xie Ziyu looked at her and said seriously.

Chu Ning was startled, the smile on her lips was slightly reduced, she stopped talking, Xie Ziyu didn't force her, she just stood up and said: "The medicine has been decocted, I'll ask Uncle Zhang to bring it in for you, and then heal your wounds well, Don't use any more force."

Xie Ziyu opened the door and walked out. Chuning looked at his leaving back, and there was a glimmer of light in his calm eyes.

Early the next morning, Uncle Zhang brought breakfast and medicine to Chu Ning, and said, "My lord, Master Ye Hou came here yesterday, and my lord was healing his wounds, but my little one didn't let him in, and now he's here again, will your lord see you or not? "

Chuning glanced at Uncle Zhang and said, "Let him in."

"Yes."

After Uncle Zhang went down, Ye Qingyan came over quickly, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Ning Chu, how is your injury?"

"Thank you Lord Hongfu, there is no serious problem." Sitting on the bed, wearing a coat, Chu Ning looked at Ye Qingyan and said calmly.

"That girl Xie Lingshuang doesn't know the seriousness, but she doesn't have any malicious intentions, so don't take it to heart." Ye Qingyan said again.

Chu Ning looked at Ye Qingyan with a half-smile, but didn't speak.

Ye Qingyan's scalp was numb from Chu Ning's look. He knew that letting her compete with Mu Jiu yesterday had really humiliated her. At first he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he just wanted to watch the fun, but after they competed, he regretted it , but it was too late to stop it.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never let them treat you like this again, anyone who doesn't respect you, that's disrespecting me!" Ye Qingyan thought for a long time, but found that there was no other way, so he had to start Acknowledge your mistake.

Chu Ning's eyes flickered, and then he smiled slightly: "With Lord Hou's words, Ning Chu's injury is worth it this time."

Seeing what Chuning said, Ye Qingyan also heaved a sigh of relief. He leaned in front of Chuning and said with a smile, "I heard that Brunei Accord recently bought a new batch of good wine. When you recover from your injury, let's go have a drink together."

"Okay." Chuning curled his lips.

In the next few days, Chuning hardly ever went out, only staying in the mansion to recover from his injuries. That night, Chuning lay on a soft couch in the courtyard, staring at the moon in a daze.Suddenly, a black shadow came in from the wall, that person stepped forward a few steps, and respectfully said: "Master, I found it."

Chuning sat up suddenly and asked, "Where is it?"

"Uncle's Mansion."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and found that Lin Yun, the uncle of the Great Yu Dynasty, the elder brother of the empress and the uncle of the late prince, was also involved, so it seems that he is very likely to be the mastermind.

The corruption case back then involved 30 taels of gold, and a large number of courtiers were implicated. Wei Linglong's father, Wei Qing, was the first to bear the brunt and became the biggest sinner. It disappeared, the court only thought that Wei Qing transferred the gold to other places, but never thought that the 10 taels of Wei Mansion was the means for others to divert attention.

A few days ago, there was a wave of public opinion in the imperial capital.A mysterious man rewarded the new oiran of Fengyuelou with an ingot of gold, but it turned out that it was the gold from the corruption case that year. Because the gold was engraved with a special mark and it was announced to the world, someone soon reported it to the government.

There are two different theories in the imperial capital. One is that the gold was transferred out by Wei Qing before his death, and the other is that someone embezzled the gold back then, and Wei Qing was just a scapegoat.

But at this moment, in Ning's mansion, Chuning was playing with the same gold in his hands. The gold was actually given to her by the emperor, but she changed it a bit.

Now that time is running out, she doesn't have much time to find out one by one, so she can only use a straightforward method to lure the snake out of the hole.

Fengyuelou has all kinds of schools and schools, and it is the easiest way to create public opinion, not to mention that she had already secretly bought Fengyuelou a month ago.

She looked at the man in black in front of her, but saw that he had handsome features, a handsome face, and cold eyes, exactly the same as Mu Jiu from the Prince Jin's Mansion.

"Thank you, Mu Jian."

"This subordinate is going back first." Mu Jian's face was expressionless, and he was about to retreat as he spoke.

Chuning quickly stopped him and asked, "How is your injury?"

"No problem."

Chu Ning nodded, and said, "Although gold appeared in Uncle Guo's Mansion, I still feel that something is wrong. You stay in Prince Jin's Mansion to see if there are any clues."

There was no expression on Mu Jian's face, he just nodded and disappeared over the wall.

Chu Ning looked at the direction in which Mu Jian disappeared with deep eyes.

She met Mu Jian when she was nine years old. At that time, he was already about 15 years old. The poison of rejuvenation in her body was onset for the first time. Open it, and a handsome young man walked in, gave her a medicine, and the cold poison on her body gradually faded away.

"My subordinate, Mu Jian, is the master's hidden guard." That was the first sentence he said to her.

It was on that day that he gave her a pill, and she willingly took that pill. From then on, she gave up the most cherished beauty of a girl and became the ugliest girl in the imperial capital, living in the general's mansion in a low-key and forbearing way. down.

But she still doesn't know where he came from. She only vaguely guessed that maybe her father knew about her situation in the general's mansion and couldn't bear to let her fend for herself after all.

He rarely appeared in front of her, but she knew that he was always by her side to protect her, and her martial arts, besides what she learned from Mu Lianzhi, was actually learned from Mu Jian.

When she left the imperial capital, she deliberately kept him by Wei Linglong's side. After Wei Linglong's accident, she quickly locked down several suspects based on the information Wei Linglong had collected before.

Under her arrangement, Mu Jian, under the pseudonym Mu Jiu, disguised himself and entered Prince Jin's mansion, which was the most suspected.

However, none of them expected that the first meeting after returning to the imperial capital would be a life-and-death duel.
