Chu Yixuan's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He forced a smile, "If you're willing to kiss me again, I might have gotten up."
"Oh, so it's like that!" Qi Yu squatted in front of Chu Yixuan, and moved closer to Chu Yixuan to look, "En, then let's wait, I'll come again another day."
She thought that Chu Yixuan would say something else, but he didn't. Qi Yu turned around and took a few steps back. She couldn't help but turn back and look at Chu Yixuan again.
Sure enough, when he turned his head, he saw Chu Yixuan frowning, as though he was trying to get up from the ground. Seeing her turn around, he immediately stopped, and looked at her silently.
"What's the matter with you?" Qi Yu asked doubtfully.
He smiled. "The ground is cool. Lie down."
The ground was cool? Qi Yu's gaze landed on the snow underneath Chu Yixuan's body. Although it was New Year's Eve, the snow had not melted.
But, wait...
What's going on, the snow... Red?
Qi Yu couldn't dodge in time, so Qi Yu retracted his hand. Looking at the red snow on his hand, she opened her eyes in shock: "What's wrong, Chu Yixuan? "Are you hurt?"
Chu Yixuan looked at her weakly: "If I die, will you remarry?"
Pui, at this time, you're actually saying such words, you're not funny at all!
— —
Safe House, quietly helped Chu Yixuan bandage his wounds, Warm Xiang tidied up her clothes, and brought a basin of blood out. Seeing Chu Yixuan close his eyes in exhaustion, Lu Ming quietly left the room.
The Duke would definitely want to be alone with Princess Hua-Yang for a while, Lu Ming thought.
When he was treating Chu Yixuan's wounds just now, he saw the many old injuries on Chu Yixuan's body, which really shocked him. Were those injuries caused by Cheng Feng at the City God Temple?
There were so many wounds, and the depth of the wounds were varied. Cheng Feng really wanted to take his life, right?
Earlier, she had thought that he was plotting against the Eastern Palace. Thinking about it, she might have misunderstood him.
If this was truly a stratagem, then just a few cuts would have been enough. If he really did hit her with such a heavy hand, then it would be too terrifying.
"What are you thinking?" Silently, his eyes were still closed, but he seemed to be aware of her mental activities.
"I'm thinking how come you're still alive after suffering so many injuries!" She curled her lips.
"How could I have died before I found you?" Chu Yixuan slowly opened his eyes, "Did you know that during the two days I was unconscious in the Imperial Hospital, I dreamed that you came to see me!"
"I'm not going to see you." Qi Yu stood up and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Chu Yixuan.
"I'm already like this, why aren't you guarding me? "Where else are we going?"
"I'm thirsty. Can I drink some water?" She looked at him gloomily. When she had treated his wounds, she had been tense and tense, for she was afraid she would accidentally kill him, and the Emperor would not have her buried with him.
"Alright. By the way, can I get something to eat from the kitchen? I'm hungry. " He made his request in passing.
Sigh, this sort of thing, just let the servants do it. He had to make her do it. She was really tired, alright!?
Chu Yixuan lovingly raised his chin towards her. Go, be a good girl.
Although she could do nothing about it, Qi Yu still went over to take a look.
After Qi Yu left, the corner of Chu Yixuan's lips slowly rose. Although her face was pale, the coldness in her phoenix eyes was dense, and revealed an indescribable coldness.
"Lu Ming."
Lu Ming replied as he entered the room.
"Spread the news, say that I have lost too much blood and fell into a coma due to severe injuries, but anyone who comes to visit me will be denied entry."
"Yes! — then, what if His Majesty comes to see the Prince?"
"Of course Royal Father is an exception."
Lu Ming's face instantly revealed a look of worry: "Could it be, the Duke is going to …"
Chu Yixuan no longer spoke and only waved his hands. He slowly closed his eyes.
Lu Ming could only silently bow and leave the room.
When Qi Yu returned, it was as if she had already fallen asleep. His breathing was very even and very calm, but it was also very weak.
"Aren't you hungry? Why did you fall asleep again?" Qi Yu sat down on the side of the table gloomily and looked at Chu Yixuan.
Hmm, this fellow is quite good-looking. His facial features are handsome, as if hacked with knives or chisels. He has edges and angles, yet his silhouette is distinct and solid. Although his face was very pale, his noble and irresistible temperament had left a deep impression on others and was unforgettable.
This kind of person, even if he pretended to be weak and sickly, his unique ability was still obvious, which was why Chu Yizhao kept staring at him, one of the three younger brothers, probably thought of him as Chu Yizhao's greatest enemy!
That was why the Xin King, Chu Yiyun, was ignored. When Chu Yizhao and Chu Yixuan were fighting, Chu Yiyun jumped out to be the lucky fisherman.
Then, what she wanted to know was, what happened to him this time? How did he get injured? Is it because of Chu Yiyun?
Yes, she had hurriedly asked him about it when he was being carried from the floor to the bed, but he had been in such pain, and had not answered her with a frown that she thought he was too hurt to answer her.
— Why did he fly up the tree to catch her when he was so hurt? If it hadn't been for that fall, she would have thrown him to the ground. Perhaps his wound wouldn't have burst into such a state — his wound wasn't very deep, but it could really be described as a bloody mess.
Look at his injuries, could it be that someone even twisted his wrist a few times when he slashed with the sword? Otherwise, why would the wound be so rash?
Seeing that Chu Yixuan seemed to be sleeping soundly, Qi Yu stood up and asked Warm Xiang to call Lu Ming.
In the second room on the left of the bedroom, Lu Ming bowed to Qi Yu. Qi Yu sat by the side of the table, gently turning the teacup in her hand, she frowned and looked at Lu Ming, as if he was Chu Yixuan.
Lu Ming was shocked and didn't understand what Qi Yu was trying to do. She couldn't help but become a little nervous. "Princess, there's something you need to tell me."
Qi Yu did not laugh, she only nodded: "Sit, I'm fine, let's chat casually."
Lu Ming silently sat down and looked up at Qi Yu. Qi Yu's eyes were fixed on him and the expression in her eyes made his scalp go numb.
"Come, have a cup of tea." Qi Yu poured another cup of tea and pushed it in front of Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was overwhelmed and half bowed as he received the teacup. "I dare not trouble Princess Huo Wu to personally pour the tea."
"Don't be nervous, I've always been easy going!"
"Yes, yes."
"Lu Ming, can you tell me how Chu Yixuan got injured?" Seeing Lu Ming drink down half the cup of tea, Qi Yu went straight to the point.
"This …" His previous nervousness made Lu Ming anticipate that the princess might make things difficult for him. As expected, the princess really wanted to make things difficult for him! Lu Ming was momentarily at a loss as to how to deal with Qi Yu.
"Am I not Princess Qi? Otherwise, why can't I know about the Prince Qi? "
"Royal Consort, of course," Lu Ming scratched his head in embarrassment. "I don't dare to lie to you, but Your Highness doesn't want me to worry about you, so … "So …"
Qi Yu curled her lips, "Does he really not want me to worry for him, or is there simply a secret that I cannot tell him?"
"Of course there's no secret to hide from Princess Hua-Yang," Lu Ming lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "It's better if Princess Hua-Yang doesn't question this subordinate. This subordinate is afraid that if Prince wakes up, this subordinate will be punished."
"Oh, you don't want to answer my question!" Qi Yu turned the tea cup and leisurely said, "However, even if you didn't say it, I would have guessed it already. Was it because the Xin King wanted to fight with him for the storage space, so he attacked the Xin King, and the latter was on guard against him, so he ended up getting injured? "
"Of course not!" Lu Ming stood up and argued, "It's not that the Duke wants to kill the messenger, it's that the messenger wants to kill my Duke!"
"Oh!" Qi Yu nodded, and she answered. The way she asked the questions was indeed very important.
Realizing that he had leaked the information, Lu Ming was stunned, he quietly sat down and said sorrowfully: "Prince Xin is even more ruthless than abandoned crown prince, abandoned crown prince would definitely not attack my Duke for no reason, the trusted King did not hesitate at all and attacked without mercy."
"You disappeared for two days. Where did you go?" Qi Yu asked.
Without asking the whole story, how she had made the right judgment. She had to make a plan whether she would help Chu Yixuan or not.
Since his words had come out, Lu Ming hesitated, but he chose to be honest. He raised his head, looked at Qi Yu, and said softly, "If I say it again, Princess, please do not be anxious."
An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Qi Yu's heart: "What are you trying to say?"
Something that could make her anxious must be related to her, right? Or, was it related to Bi Su?
Bi Su and Feng Qingmo haven't appeared for three days!
Lu Ming said: "On New Year's Eve, someone from the Prince Xin’s Mansion barged into my Prince Qi Palace with the intention to assassinate him. Bi Su volunteered himself and went back to the Xu Mansion to secretly observe Crown’s Master's movements … "
"Wait," Qi Yu interrupted, "Bi Su volunteered to return to the Xu Mansion? Chu Yixuan suspects that Crown’s Master is secretly helping the Prince Xin’s Mansion? "
Lu Ming was silent, but he did not deny it.
"That's not right!" Qi Yu frowned, "Isn't Crown’s Master a member of your Prince Qi's Palace?"
"No," Lu Ming shook his head, "Although Crown’s Master had helped the Prince a few times in secret, he did not truly depend on the Prince."
Qi Yu silently stood up, and recalled that she had also asked Chu Yixuan, whether she was from the Prince Qi Palace, and Chu Yixuan had denied it at that time. In other words, in order to disrupt the relationship between the few princes, Xu Chang would definitely take revenge on the emperor, Chu Zhe. So she would really help Chu Yixuan to deal with Chu Yixuan, and then help Chu Yiyun to deal with Chu Yixuan?
What a terrifying Crown’s Master!
In order to realize his revenge plan, he could tolerate it for more than ten years without giving it away.
In order to realize his revenge plan, he could use his daughter as a pawn and use her ruthlessly.
In order to realize his revenge plan, he even used a few princes as pawns to realize his wish step by step …
What level of hatred did he have for Cheng Wan and Cheng Wan that could cause him to be so cold and cruel?!
