Chapter 17(1/2)
Out of reach
Hearing the noise, Bai Jiuxiao quickly gathered up his clothes and turned around.
When he saw it was Ning Shiqian, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you still not asleep?"
Ning Shiqian was a little embarrassed. He was originally worried that something bad would happen to her, but he didn't expect this to be the scene in the room.
"Sleep, get up and get water," Ning Shiqian raised the teapot in his hand and explained quietly: "I saw blood stains in front of your door, so I came in to take a look."
Bai Jiuxiao felt very happy when he heard this.
So concerned about her safety!
Suddenly I remembered what Qingwu said at night, everyone in Sang Lin would kill someone like her.
In Da Zhao, there were also a bunch of people who wanted to kill her.
The only ones who are really worried about her safety are her emperor brother and the man in front of her.
She picked up a pot and poured a glass of water, then stood up and sent it to Ning Shiqian.
Ning Shiqian didn't answer: "No, I'll go downstairs and find the waiter to make a pot."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.
Bai Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows. He was used to his awkwardness, so he didn't care and drank the water himself.
He put the cup back on the table and 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 doubtfully, not knowing what he wanted.
Ning Shiqian walked to the table, put down the teapot in his hand, and stretched out his hand towards her: "Medicine."
"What?" Bai Jiuxiao didn't understand.
"Weren't you just applying medicine? Can you get it?" Ning Shiqian asked, his voice was light.
oh.
Bai Jiuxiao was surprised.
So, are you going to help her apply the medicine yourself?
He quickly said: "I can't get it up, I can't get it up, it's on my back, I can't reach it with my hands."
He 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 nightgown, and through the material of the nightgown, he could see the wounds inside.
Obviously the injury was serious.
This is why he thought about it and came back to give her medicine.
Firstly, she was seriously injured, and secondly, she couldn't get any medicine herself.
Of course, there is another most important reason, that is, he wants to know how she was injured. After all, she is his hidden guard of Sang Lin.
Seeing that he didn't move, Bai Jiuxiao turned back to look at him: "Let's get started."
Ning Shiqian pursed his lips slightly and slowly pulled her back collar down.
When his eyes touched the scars and scars scattered all over her back, he suddenly stopped breathing and was shocked.
Although he knew that as a hidden guard, he walked on the tip of a knife every day, and that every mission was life and death, he was still shocked to see a woman with such new injuries on top of old ones, with no good spot.
It took so many lives and deaths to end up with such injuries.
This was just her back, he believed that her front wouldn't be much better either.
When the collar is lowered, it will be a new injury tonight.
Bloody and bloody.
It looked like he had been injured by some hidden weapon.
"Is it a dart?" he asked.
"Um."
"Who was hurt?" he asked again, seemingly unintentionally.
"you do not know."
Bai Jiuxiao would not tell him the truth, nor would he want him to get involved in these disputes.
"Why are there so many injuries on your body? What kind of errand do you do?" Ning Shiqian probed further.
Only then did Bai Jiuxiao remember the old scars on her back, which she had forgotten even if she didn't mention them.
Uh, I kind of regret letting him take the medicine.
The book describes women as having skin as thick as cream, but she has hideous scars. He would think she is ugly.
After thinking for a while, she said: "A job that many people want to kill me for."
Ning Shiqian was startled.
Many people want to kill her?
Shouldn't it be that she needs to perform a mission to kill many people?
It’s not easy to ask too many questions.
"Be patient, I'm applying medicine."
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
To her, this injury was really not 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 it again?
So, when she felt Ning Shiqian pour the medicinal powder on her wound, she exclaimed in exaggerated pain: "Ah, it hurts!"
Ning Shiqianhan: "I haven't started yet."
Bai Jiuxiao: "."
Called early!
Ning Shiqian frowned and looked at the wound: "How did you take out the dart?"
"It was shaken out by internal force."
She couldn't reach it with her hands and didn't want to go to the hospital, so she could only use her internal strength.
Ning Shiqian remained silent.
He has also used his inner strength to force out hidden weapons in his body, and he knows what an extremely painful experience it is.
"The wound needs to be cleaned first 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.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a token peeking out from under the sword on the table.
Red flowers and green leaves card!
Ning Shiqian stared gently, his voice and expression remained calm, and he rolled up his sleeves unhurriedly.
As expected, he is his father's hidden guard!
During the day, he had been so deliberate in trying to find the token from her, but he didn't expect to see it so easily at night.
Bai Jiuxiao looked at him quietly, feeling that every move he made was so elegant and beautiful.
The hands also look good, with well-defined joints.
Even the veins on the back of the hands and wrists are perfect.
Ning Shiqian took the handkerchief placed on the edge of the copper basin, soaked it in water, squeezed out some water, and came behind her.
Bai Jiuxiao suddenly remembered something, turned around and held his hand as if to wipe her wound.
"The dart is poisonous. I am invulnerable to all poisons and will be fine. But you need to be extremely careful."
She was sitting, while Ning Shiqian was standing. The collar of her nightgown had already been pulled down. Now she turned around and faced him. From his perspective, a large area of scenery in front of her was exposed to him.
in sight.
As expected, he was also scarred.
Ning Shiqian's eyes moved slightly and he looked away: "I know."
Bai Jiuxiao then let go of his hand, turned around and sat down.
Ning Shiqian took a wet handkerchief and gently wiped the blood on the edge of the wound.
