Chapter 35
Xie Yan hugged Gu Ning in his arms, and warm blood sputtered on his fair and handsome cheeks, slowly slid down.
"Ning'er!"
The eldest princess shouted anxiously, which made Xie Yan's rationality come back instantly.
He covered the blood hole in Gu Ning's shoulder blade, and the warm blood formed a sharp contrast with the gradually passing body of his hand.
For the first time in Xie Yan's twenty years of career, he felt at a loss.
Why did she sacrifice herself to save herself?
However, the person who could answer his question closed his eyes at this moment. She, who was most noisy on weekdays, was like a fragile porcelain doll, as if it was broken at the touch.
"Why don't you invite the imperial physician?" The eldest princess hugged Gu Ning without any image and cursed at the people around her, "How did you protect the county lord? How could you let the county lord suffer such serious injuries?"
She said, her eyes falling on Xie Yan.
But when she saw Xie Yan's muddy, all her words were suppressed.
The killers were solved one by one, but the old lady Yuan, who was at the end of her strength, laughed wildly.
"You destroy my Yuan family! I will destroy your granddaughter you care about the most!" She stared at the eldest princess tightly, and the hatred in her eyes almost turned into reality, "You can never think of it in this life!"
The murderous intent gradually arose in the eyes of the eldest princess. For this former friend, she only hated herself for her old love and failed to act in time!
"What's wrong with Ruo Ning'er? Your Yuan family will be buried with her!"
After throwing this sentence, the eldest princess didn't look back and no longer had any nostalgia.
When Mrs. Yuan heard these words, her face became ugly.
She squeezed her hands tightly and was about to say something, but she heard Madam Gui say lightly in her ear: "Mrs. Yuan, even if you collude with Jiang Hui and commit the death penalty of selling private salt, the princess does not want to kill you."
"Originally, the princess wanted you to make a fortune. As long as you tell the other aristocratic families involved in this matter one by one, and then hand over the evidence of your contact with the Jiang family, you will be exempted from the death penalty of the entire Yuan clan. It's a pity..." Madam Gui sneered coldly, "Mrs. Yuan still seems to be still worried about the matter back then."
Upon hearing this, the old lady Yuan's silent eyes became ferocious again: "Pei Lang is my fiancé! She snatched Pei Lang away!"
"Old Madam Yuan is careful!" Madam Gui shouted, "You were greedy for the Yuan family business and cancelled the engagement without authorization. The princess and the marquis met at the border as the queen! If you say these things that defile the princess' reputation, even if the princess doesn't pursue it, I will report this to the emperor and punish you for being disrespectful!"
The old lady Yuan looked gray and sat on the ground weakly. She wanted to hold something, but the jade pendant fell heavily on the ground and broke into several pieces.
She looked at the fragments on the ground blankly and smiled miserably.
Two tears fell on his old face.
It's really a mistake... every step is wrong!
If she hadn't been obsessed with ghosts and married into Jiangnan, wouldn't she have ended up like this? The family business that she had worked hard for decades was ruined, and she... might be in her life!
The carriage back to the other courtyard galloped on the street, and soldiers rode horses in front of them to lead the way, and pedestrians on the road were hiding.
In just half a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped at the gate of the villa.
The imperial doctor went out with the medicine box tremblingly, and saw this and hurriedly walked back.
Xie Yan jumped out of the carriage, but he hugged Gu Ning firmly with his arms, preventing her from getting bumpy.
"Doctor Liu!" A rare anxiety appeared in Xie Yan's indifferent phoenix eyes. "The wound is very deep, you have brought the golden sore medicine!"
"Don't worry!" Doctor Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Just Yue Ming came back just now and said that I had prepared the things long ago, and even the jade-color paste that eliminates scars was sent to get it."
When he was speaking, he had already put on Gu Ning's wrist and carefully took her pulse.
The eyes of the eldest princess and Xie Yan followed him like shadows, and always fell on him.
Doctor Liu's heart had already been hanging. He was sweating coldly behind him, but he had to concentrate on taking the pulse.
Fortunately, God favored him, and the arrow did not hurt the vital points. After stopping the blood, Gu Ning's pulse was still very weak, but at least it stabilized and he had no worries about his life.
"Doctor Liu, what's the situation?" The eldest princess's face was covered with dark clouds, and she was staring at Doctor Liu coldly.
"Fortunately, I am not humiliating my fate!" Doctor Liu hurriedly knelt on the ground and whispered, "The county magistrate has no worries about his life. Just wait for her to wake up before taking the medicine."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess's heart finally came to fruition.
She covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Gu Ning who was unconscious, tears appeared in the eyes of the eldest princess.
"Silly child." She stroked Gu Ning's soft black hair, and she breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but complain, "What's the matter? It's more important than your life? If something happens to you, how can I explain it to your mother?"
Behind the curtain, Xie Yan, who had striding into it, was stunned.
The beads of sweat slid down his straight nose to his clear jaw, and fell on the soft carpet drop by drop.
This is a face that made countless women feel rippling, but at this moment, a ignorant expression appeared rarely on this handsome face.
He subconsciously stroked the palm of his hand, and there seemed to be a warm touch of blood here.
Yue Ming glanced at his expression and sighed in his heart.
"Master, let's go back first." He whispered, "With the eldest princess and Doctor Liu here, the county lord will definitely be properly cared for."
However, he waited for a long time, but Xie Yan did not respond.
Yue Ming's heart skipped a beat, and before he could say anything, he met Xie Yan's deep eyes.
"Why...she wants to save me?"
Xie Yan spoke hard, and a strange color appeared in his narrow phoenix eyes.
Seeing this, Yue Ming said immediately: "Maybe it was a misunderstanding, the county lord may not want to save you, but just a temporary mistake..."
"The county lord clearly wants to save his master!"
Yue Ming glared at the visitor, and his stupid brother was completely unaware of his warning.
"I can see clearly!" Yue Rong said seriously, "The county lord will sacrifice himself when he sees that arrow and block it for the master. Otherwise, the arrow would probably go towards the master's chest!"
Yue Ming grinded his teeth and said, "Maybe you read it wrong."
"There is no such possibility!" Yue Rong said loudly, "If the master doesn't believe it, you can go and ask the other brothers! Our eyes are all sharp!"
Xie Yan's handsome face changed a little.
He seemed to have made a difficult decision in his heart. When he looked up again, his complex expression disappeared, and replaced by firmness.
Yue Rong was still muttering: "In my humble opinion, the county lord has a deep affection for you! Who in this world can do this? She sacrifices herself to block the arrows for you, even if it is in the script, it is still a matter..."
"Okay!" Yue Ming interrupted him angrily, "The master is gone, you are still talking here! Why is it not you who blocked the arrow!"
He knocked Yue Rong's head with a sudden thunder. Yue Rong suffered a pain and covered his head: "Brother, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with it?"
Yue Rong showed a twisted smile: "You are wrong because you have too many words!"
"May the county lord..."
"The county lord is obedient and willful, and he is not a good match for his master!" Yue Ming said in a sarcasm, "The future wife of the master should be a gentle and virtuous person like Miss Xiao!"
Yue Rong widened his eyes and looked at him: "Brother, you have no problem with your brain? That's the Xiao family..."
As if he had thought of something, Yue Rong immediately covered his mouth.
Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and whispered: "My master has never forgotten what the Xiao family did!"
...
The night is getting deeper.
After several persuasions from Madam Gui, the eldest princess raised her tired body and left the bedroom.
Chunyu leaned against the pillar, drowsy with the cicadas.
On the bed, Gu Ning opened his eyes with great difficulty.
"System! Don't pretend to be dead!" she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Why don't you get out of here!"
"I have obviously exchanged the life-saving pill, why is it not effective at all?"
Gu Ning was excited and pulled the wound and couldn't help but "hiss".
At this time, the system explained: "At that time, the host's consciousness was already unconscious. If the system takes 10 luck points, it is detected that the host is not in danger of life. And the host attaches too much importance to the luck points, so the system does not initiate the self-protection mechanism."
"Who made me fall into a single lucky point and break it into two halves?" Gu Ning asked sinisterly, "You can think about it carefully."
The chip that runs at high speed in the system paused for a moment.
It is better to anyone know the status of its own host.
But after being silent for a long time, the system was unable to give a satisfactory answer to Gu Ning.
Feeling Gu Ning's angry mood, the system chuckled awkwardly.
"Someone is here!"
Gu Ning subconsciously closed his eyes, but the room was silent and there was no sound of footsteps.
"Don't mess with me here!" she cursed, and was about to open her eyes, but she felt her wrist being held firmly in her hand.
The man's rough palms have a strong sense of existence.
The constantly leaping system panel and the sound effects of luck value are continuously recorded clearly inform Gu Ning of the identity of this person.
Gu Ning's whole body was stiff and even his breathing became cautious.
It turned out to be Xie Yan!
How could he come here?
The moonlight is bright, and Xie Yan's handsome face is usually exposed in the moonlight, half hidden in the shadows.
It was as complicated as his state of mind at this moment.
On the bed, the woman seemed to be sleeping. Her bright eyes were closed tightly at this time, making people unable to see the little charm inside.
Xie Yan felt uncomfortable. He had always been cold-hearted, and only the eldest princess and the Pei family could give him a hint of warmth.
He had dealt with Gu Ning before, and he hated Gu Ning very much and had never changed.
However, the scene during the day has repeatedly appeared before him, reminding him that the person in front of him is deeply in love with him!
The emotions in his heart seemed to have changed quietly at that moment.
