Chapter 389: Do you want to continue to indulge her like this?
"You...who are you?"
She tried her best to make a sound and question the other person, but her throat seemed to be covered with a thick layer of mud, and the sound she made was still a weak breath.
The man didn't answer, but directly pulled out the half-unsheathed long sword and stabbed Xie Songhua without saying a word.
This sword was completely unavoidable. Xie Songhua only regretted it at this moment. Why didn't he ask Xiaoqing to stay?
She actually lost her life today! Can God give her a second chance?
In my previous life, I fell down the stairs and had no time to react. I just felt my eyes go dark.
This time he was stabbed to death with a sharp weapon, which probably caused a lot of pain.
She quickly closed her eyes.
Then there was a crisp "click" sound, followed by the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.
The expected severe pain did not come.
While he was in shock and doubt, a warm hand suddenly fell on his shoulder. As soon as Xie Songhua opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Yu's face in front of him in the darkness.
"Wang...Prince?"
The voice was so weak that she could barely hear her own voice.
"How are you?"
The light was too dark and Xie Songhua couldn't see his expression clearly, but his voice was still calm and calm.
Xie Songhua still replied in an angry voice: "It's okay."
Then the person was beaten and hugged directly.
Xie Songhua felt like a crab with soft legs. She was held in his hand. If his arms hadn't supported her head, she wouldn't have been able to hold her head up.
Seeing that he seemed to be putting himself back on the bed, Xie Songhua quickly said: "No!"
Xiao Yu stopped and looked down at her.
"Go outside, there is... poisonous smoke."
After saying so much, Xiao Yu understood. Without saying anything, he hugged her and opened the door. Then he put her on the doorstep, turned around and entered the house again.
There was a lantern from the station outside the yard. Xie Songhua leaned against the wall, breathing in the fresh air, and finally felt that the dizzy feeling was much better.
It's just that I still don't have any strength in my body.
When Xiao Yu came out again, she was holding her medicine box in her hand, "Is there any medicine?"
"On the third floor, in the corner of the grid, there is a black medicine bottle." She paused for a while before directing him to get the medicine.
Because she already knew that this trip would not be easy, she prepared almost all the medicines she could prepare, and the Zhuo Yuan envoy also collected a lot for her.
Xie Songhua opened his eyes slightly and watched his slender fingers rummaging through the medicine box and accurately found the medicine bottle.
She tried hard to raise her hand and wanted to take it, but found that she couldn't even do this.
Xiao Yu just glanced at her lightly, and then entered his room.
Xie Songhua was sitting facing him. Turning around to look at him was a strenuous task, so he simply stopped looking and just closed his eyes to rest.
When I heard the footsteps behind me, a slightly cold and woody smell hit me from behind.
"How many pills should you take?"
His voice suddenly rang in her ears. It was obviously not loud, but it made her tremble in her heart.
I don’t know if it was because I was scared or because my eardrums were numb.
After calming herself down, she said honestly: "Two."
Then she saw the person on the side pour two pills into his palm and put them to her mouth.
Xie Songhua was stunned for a moment, feeling a little weird.
"What? Can't eat?"
She raised her eyes and saw that the other party's expression was as usual, so she suppressed her discomfort and bowed her head gently.
Xiao Yu also raised his palm and fed the two pills in.
Her lips inevitably brushed against the palm of her hand, like a gentle kiss, which was a little itchy.
After Xiao Yu fed the medicine in, he immediately retracted his hand, clenched his fist subconsciously, and brought the water glass in his other hand to her mouth without any signs of strangeness on his face.
Only then did Xie Songhua realize that he had just gone to pour water in his house.
I guess she was worried that the kettle in her house had been tampered with.
After taking the medicine, she continued to rest against the wall. Xiao Yu entered her house again, opened all the windows in the back, and then went to who knows where.
Only when her body's intuition slowly recovered did Xiao Yu appear again.
"How are you doing?"
"It's okay."
Although his voice is still a little hoarse, he is able to make sounds at least.
"Can you get up?"
Xie Songhua gave it a try and then said helplessly: "I'm afraid we have to wait for a while. I'll sit here for a while. Your Majesty, please go and rest!"
Xiao Yu seemed to think for a while, but then walked directly to her and hugged her directly, "Then just go to sleep!"
It was understandable that he hugged her just now when he was in a hurry.
But now...
She clearly said that if she took a moment to slow down, she would be able to get up on her own.
Doesn't he...not like women being near him?
But looking up at his frank expression, Xie Songhua felt that he was thinking a little too far.
Everyone knows that King Chen is not flirtatious with women. Maybe even if she were a man now, he would have the same attitude, right?
The assassin's body in the room has disappeared, and the vague fragrance that was there has also disappeared without a trace. He had just dealt with it.
After being put on the bed, Xie Songhua quickly moved inside.
"Sleep peacefully, I'll be outside."
Xie Songhua was stunned, "What?"
He wants to stay outside? What does this mean?
Xie Songhua was puzzled, but he didn't answer again.
Seeing that he was about to go out, she gritted her teeth, but still couldn't help but said, "Want to continue to indulge her like this?"
There is no need to even guess who did what happened tonight.
He had only been out of the capital for a short time, and he approached her on the first night. Who else could it be?
And if it was someone else, why would they target her?
As a harem woman, what life-and-death enemies could she have?
If it was to prevent her from going to Dengzhou to treat the epidemic, there were so many doctors in the world, and she had given all the prescriptions for the epidemic to envoy Zhuo Yuan a few days ago.
Any imperial physician would be able to control the epidemic there.
The room next to him is Xiao Yu, he is an important figure in Daqi, but there is nothing unusual in his room.
Except for Huimin, the people who wanted her life so impatiently didn't even think about it.
Xiao Yu's footsteps stopped because of her words, but he did not look back, he just turned his back to her direction.
Xie Songhua waited for a while, but did not wait for his reply.
After all, he took a deep breath and calmed down before speaking again, "The thief didn't succeed once, so he probably won't come again. Your Majesty, you can call my maid over.
You have a valuable status, and it will take you three or four days to get to Dengzhou, so you can’t make any mistakes, so you’d better rest early!”
Xiao Yu finally looked back at her, but Xie Songhua simply closed his eyes.
There was no answer to such a question, so she stopped worrying about it.
After all, there is still some kinship between him and Huimin.
And she is just a quasi-princess in name only.
Perhaps for Xiao Yu, agreeing to this betrothal marriage was already a great honor to her. Treating Huimin for her sake was a matter of indifference.
The emotion I felt just now was just because I thought that I would be on the line between life and death tonight, and I felt a little unwilling to do so.
A person's dignity is given by himself, and the man in front of him took care of him tonight just because of the current situation.
She heard the door being closed, but did not hear Xiao Yu's footsteps.
For a person with profound martial arts skills like him, his footsteps are much lighter than those of ordinary people.
Probably because of being frightened, all the previous hunger pangs disappeared.
Xie Songhua was so dazed that she didn't know why she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already dawn outside, but she moved slightly, and Cui Liu opened the door and came in.
