"Not too optimistic." Danzhu said, "Xue Zhai has been closed for three days. After the Queen Mother in the palace learned the news, she was deeply shocked and fell ill. Madam, would you like to go to the palace to see."
"It'll take a few days." Wu Xun put down the tea cup and gently rubbed the jade bracelet on his wrist with his fingers. He didn't know what he was calculating in his heart. Now that Princess Luo'an's life or death was unknown, and Ji Mianxi was sick again, he really couldn't do anything else.
Ji Mianxi looked at the sky outside the door through the dark window lattice, trying to catch the ray of sunshine with her small hands. When she heard someone push the door open and come in, she turned her head to look at the person and smiled sweetly when she saw his tall figure.
"Big brother."
Yan Ruiyuan was stunned, a trace of ecstasy flashed in the young and mature eyes, and he hurriedly walked to Ji Mianxi's bed, looked down at her, and saw her looking at him with a smile. After a long time, he asked, "Xie'er, are you hungry?
Hungry?"
Ji Mianxi put her arms around Yan Ruiyuan's neck and said softly, "I'm hungry, I want to eat crispy chicken with wind chimes."
"Okay." Yan Ruiyuan bent down and picked up the little girl lovingly, feeling relieved.
"Elder brother, didn't you go back to see Aunt Yan? Why are you back?" Yan Ruiyuan paused with his hot hands, and looked at the little girl with a mouthful of oil in surprise with his cold eyes, and then returned to normal, "
Nothing happened, so I came back."
"Oh oh oh." The little girl nodded while eating hard, and then shook her head, "I have slept too much recently, why is my head so dizzy?"
"Xie'er..." Yan Ruiyuan put the warm soup in the girl's hand and said, "Do you know what the master of Yuntian Temple said about you?"
"Yuntian Temple? How come I haven't heard of it?" Ji Mianxi asked with a puzzled face, "Did mother secretly go out with my brother to play behind my back again? That's too much!" The girl put her chopsticks on the table, dissatisfied.
He said, "I'm going to talk to my mother!"
"No." Yan Ruiyuan hurriedly grabbed her and coaxed with a smile, "You girl are really sleepy. Have you forgotten the Yuntian Temple you went to with your wife a few days ago?"
"Did I go to Yuntian Temple?" Ji Mianxi looked at Yan Ruiyuan in confusion and said, "Why don't I remember? Haven't I been staying in the house these days? How could I go to Yuntian Temple? Senior Brother
Did you remember it wrong?"
"It doesn't matter, this is your favorite food." Yan Ruiyuan hurriedly picked up a chopstick and handed it to her bowl, with a glimmer of light in his eyes. Ji Mianxi was immediately diverted and started eating happily.
.
At night, Wu Xun checked Ji Mianxi's pulse and said worriedly, "Xie'er has always blamed herself for causing Su'er's death. She couldn't accept it in her heart. Under the heavy blow, she automatically chose to forget."
"That's okay. It's okay to forget some of the painful memories." Wu Xun stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt over her, looking at her sleeping little face, his eyes full of heartache.
Yan Ruiyuan and Ji Ernuo stood behind her and didn't know what to say for a while.
Late at night, no one knew that the little girl had been awakened by nightmares again and again. Each time, she would dream of a girl with a sweet smile, covered in blood, standing in front of her and smiling at herself.
After returning from the cliff, Song Hanzhuo and Wu Xun seemed to have no contact with each other. Every time Wu Xun went to ask for the Queen Mother Dening's greetings, he never bumped into Song Hanzhuo. It was as if the two had made an appointment and missed each other.
"Madam, do you have any instructions?" Yuzhu asked as he saw Wu Xun opening the sedan curtain. Wu Xun glanced at the lively market and said with a smile, "Nothing, I just want to take a look at this lively market."
His eyes fell on a stall selling masks, "Stop the sedan."
Wu Xun walked to the mask stall and picked up a mask that looked like a little white rabbit. He smiled and asked Yu Zhu beside him, "Does this look good? How about buying it for Xi'er?"
"What a cute rabbit. The lady will be very happy when she sees it."
"Boss, how much does this cost?"
The stall owner's shrewd eyes looked over Wu Xun's body. Seeing that although his clothes were simple but elegant, he immediately smiled and said, "Madam, you really have good taste. This is thirty cents."
"Thirty cents?" Yuzhu immediately shouted, "Are you robbing me? Is this mask worth thirty cents?"
"Girl, this is made of the best materials." The stall owner hurriedly defended.
"Okay." Wu Xun said softly, "I bought it for thirty cents, and Yuzhu gave me the money."
"Madam..." Yuzhu wanted to say something else, but when he saw Wu Xun's eyes, he had to take out his wallet angrily, rolled his eyes at the stall owner and followed him.
"It's a rare time to go out and go shopping." Wu Xun happily took the bunny mask and scanned the lively market with his eyes. She hadn't felt this way for a long time.
"Do you think that one looks good?" Wu Xun asked, pointing to a stall.
Seeing that his master was rarely in such a good mood, Yuzhu asked the guards to follow him so as not to disturb Wu Xun's mood.
"Ouch, ouch..." Around the corner, Wu Xun heard an old man moaning in a corner with a painful expression. As a doctor, he instinctively walked over and asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that his face was pale and his lips were purple, I reached out and put my hand on his pulse, only to find that the pulse was strong and strong. It didn't look like the pulse of an old man at all. I was shocked, and then I saw that this was an injured old man. It was obviously the same body.
The middle-aged man, who was strong and had deep internal strength, saw a flash of cold light. Although Wu Xun was able to dodge quickly, he was still stabbed in the arm, and blood flowed out from the open wound.
The old man who was groaning in pain just now was holding a dagger with a fierce look on his face, and was fatally attacking Wu Xun! For a while, the entire market became chaotic, and people ran for their lives for fear of hurting themselves. At this time, people were pouring out from all directions.
There were more than a dozen men in black,
Wu Xun was surrounded by Yuzhu and a few guards, who looked at the man in black warily and said, "Protect Madam!"
"There are too many of them, and they are all secret guards. They all have strong martial arts skills. We have no chance of winning in a head-on fight." Wu Xun covered his wounds and his mind was running rapidly, "After a while, I ran to the southeast. There are patrol infantry handovers there.
There are always people there.”
These secret guards were ordered to die by Guan Xulin before he died, and they must take Wu Xun's life, so they were all ruthless. Every move could kill Wu Xun. After a few rounds, the guards were dead and injured.
of injury.
Song Hanzhuo had just come out of the palace. Hearing that something had happened here, he hurried over. Among the fighting crowd, he saw that petite figure. He kicked off his horse and flew down in front of Wu Xun, hugging her with one hand.
He took him out and brought him out. His eyes were ruthless and murderous, and he said in a cold voice, "Yun Li Yuntang, kill!"
For a moment, the originally lively and bustling market was replaced by the sound of swords clashing and the sound of swords piercing flesh. Between the lights and shadows of swords, the setting sun was stained with blood.
"Let me take a look at your injury." Song Hanzhuo frowned slightly, looking at Wu Xun's arm stained red with blood, feeling extremely distressed. Wu Xun said nonchalantly, "It's a small injury, it doesn't matter."
"Can you have some brains?! These secret warriors were all ordered to die by Guan Xu before he died. They will take your life. Before they were eliminated, you went out on the streets openly like this. Do you not want your life? Or do you dislike it?
Life is too long!" Wu Xun stared blankly at Song Hanzhuo. This was the first time he had been so angry, and said with a smile, "Isn't it you?"
Now it was time for a certain prince who was running rampant on the edge to stay where he was. He suddenly laughed stupidly and said, "I won't do this next time." After Yuntang Yunli took care of all the secret guards, he saw his prince looking stupid like this.
They looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. Their prince had been acting strange recently, as if he had some illness. It seemed that the only one who could tell that his prince was sick was the woman in front of him.
No one saw a cluster of poisoned arrows pointed at Wu Xun in the dark. He relaxed his hands lightly and shot the arrow towards Wu Xun. Song Hanzhuo's eyes suddenly tightened and he didn't even think about it.
Thinking about it, he instinctively put Wu Xun in his arms and blocked the arrow for her.
When the arrow hit Song Hanzhuo's body, everything seemed to have stopped. Wu Xun watched the tall figure fall on top of her, protecting herself tightly. At this moment, her eyes widened in disbelief.
, everything happened too fast, and there was no time for anyone to react. Without any thought or desire, he threw a silver needle in the direction of the arrow and shot the man directly in the vital gate, killing him instantly.
"Song Hanzhao, Song Hanzhao..." Wu Xun looked at the bright red hands, his voice trembling, "Hold on..."
"Xun'er." Song Hanzhuo smiled weakly, touched Wu Xun's face, and said, "I can finally do something for you."
Wu Xun shook his head and said, "I don't want you to do things for me, I just want you to be good."
"Silly girl."
"Madam, is there poison on this arrow?" Yuzhu said quickly when she saw that Song Hanzhuo's face was starting to turn dark.
"Go to Mingyue Pavilion!" Wu Xun said decisively. This place is the closest to Mingyue Pavilion. At night, when Mingyue Pavilion's business is at its best, the guard guard saw Wu Xun and immediately greeted him, his eyes falling on Yun.
Song Hanzhao, who was on Li Qi's back, didn't dare to neglect him.
"Thank you behind closed doors!" Wu Xun dropped four words and took Yunli and others through the secret door. After what happened to Wang's mother last time, Wen Yan specially opened a secret door to facilitate entry and exit.
.
"Boiling water and hot towels."
Wu Xun frowned, looking at Song Hanzhuo's arrow inserted into his body. It was too close to the heart. She was not very sure about keeping him alive, so Wu Xun did not dare to take action.
"Why don't you take action?" Song Hanzhuo tried his best to maintain a sense of clarity and asked in a daze when he saw the person sitting beside his bed looking at his back.
Wu Xun said with trembling in his voice, "Song Hanzhuo, I'm scared."
"There are times when you are afraid." Song Hanzhuo endured the pain and looked back. The little woman was looking at him with tears on her face. She didn't know how to start with her delicate hands that could heal bones.
