Indeed, the person who stood in the shadows under the window was Lu Ming. Hearing Qi Yu's voice, Lu Ming immediately turned around.
But what about the scar across his face? Not only was there a slanted scar across his face, but there was also a bloodstained cloth wrapped around his left arm. It was obvious that he had sustained serious injuries.
Qi Yu took a step back and covered her mouth as she exclaimed: "Lu Ming, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Ming realized that the pain on his face had scared Qi Yu and quickly retreated back into the shadows.
Qi Yu took a step forward and gently grabbed Lu Ming's left wall. Qi Yu didn't pay attention to him, instead, she reached out to pinch the wound that was tied to the cloth, and after doing this a few times, sweat immediately seeped out of Lu Ming's forehead. Lu Ming clenched his teeth, endured the pain, and did not make a sound.
Qi Yu looked up at Lu Ming in shock: "You … What's wrong, Lu Ming? What happened? "
Lu Ming glanced at Qi Yu, then lowered his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Esteemed wangfei, Lu Ming was incompetent and failed to protect Your Highness."
Qi Yu clenched her teeth, "Enough, you don't need to say anything, deal with your injuries first."
Although Lu Ming had already bandaged it, the joints of the broken bones did not match, and thus, it would not be completely healed.
Hearing that Qi Yu was about to treat her injuries, Jun Zibi immediately asked: "What kind of medicinal ingredients do you need?"
Right now, there were people looking for Qi Yu and Lu Ming everywhere inside the Uninjured City, they definitely could not go out and look for a husband. She could not bring the doctor to look at Lu Ming either, if he was exposed, it would bring danger to Lu Ming.
Therefore, the only way was for him to find some sort of medicine and let Qi Yu treat Lu Ming's injuries.
Qi Yu looked at Lu Ming. She first comforted him a bit, then pulled Jun Zibi to another empty room. After confirming that Lu Ming couldn't hear anymore, she said in a low voice: "Find me Dodder Silk, Suo Suo, and Earth Bug. Right, there's also Natural Copper, Bones Shattered, quickly come back."
Jun Zibi was startled, "These are all bone injury drugs …"
"Yes, natural copper is still the bone healing medicine."
"Lu Ming's arm bones broke?" Jun Zibi was startled.
"Why aren't you going when you know it?" Qi Yu did not directly answer.
Jun Zibi looked at her and immediately turned around. Qi Yu hurriedly added, "Dodder silk, cut off, earth beetle …"
"There's also natural copper and bone shattering tonics!" Jun Zibi added without turning his head.
Good memory!
Qi Yu heaved a sigh of relief, seeing Jun Zibi's figure disappearing, yes, she could only pray that would return quickly.
Returning to Lu Ming's side, Qi Yu's heart was heavy.
It wasn't that she hadn't seen Lu Ming's martial arts before, but that his martial arts could be said to be comparable to Jun Zibi's. How many times had he protected Chu Yixuan from his predicament? Who had hurt him so badly?
The two of them sat under the window, facing each other on the floor.
"Princess, don't worry, my injury is fine."
"I know. Jun Zibi has already helped us catch the medicine, you will recover very quickly. "
"I'm fine, but... Your Highness's situation is not looking good right now. "
"The moment Chu Yixuan was mentioned, his heart tightened. Where is he now? "
"Prince Jing’s Masion."
Qi Yu was startled, the person inside the Prince Jing’s Masion, was it really Chu Yixuan?
"Him and Uncle Lin? are all in Prince Jing’s Masion? "
"Yes."
"How did they end up in Helian Cheng's hands?"
"When this matter was brought up, Lu Ming's face was full of shame, and he lowered his head. It's all my fault. "
That day, when Chu Yixuan heard that Helian Cheng had returned, he wanted to go see Helian Cheng and discuss about Helian Jing.
That day, the Uncle Lin only allowed Chu Yixuan to bring one person into the Duke Palaces, and asked Lu Ming to wait outside the Duke Palaces.
But who would have known, after Chu Yixuan and the Uncle Lin entered the Prince Jing’s Masion, they did not come out.
After waiting for four hours for a very long time, Lu Ming was finally unable to hold back and wanted to step forward to ask for the details. At this time, the guard from Prince Jing’s Masion came out to invite him over, saying that the prince would like to invite him to the palace for tea.
Although he felt something was amiss, Lu Ming still brought his two brothers in.
Indeed, as he had expected, the request from the prince was not in the right direction at all.
As soon as they entered the hall, a large number of guards drew their swords and pounced on the three of them.
Nearly two hundred people jumped out in quick succession, brandishing their swords in an attempt to brutally kill them. Although they were mentally prepared, it was difficult for two fists to fight four hands, and the guards of Prince Jing’s Masion had no patience to fight with them to the end.
The poisoned arrow hit one of the brothers, and he died on the spot. Only Lu Ming and the other brother remained. In the end, the brother also died a horrible death in Prince Jing’s Masion.
As for Lu Ming, although he had shot the arrow, he was unable to dodge the blade and sword. A sword cut his face, and cut off his left arm. With his last bit of strength, he rushed out of the encirclement, and escaped the Prince Jing’s Masion.
"It's because I was useless and didn't protect the prince …" Lu Ming clenched his teeth, and his men's tears fell.
Qi Yu's eyes were already moist.
In that tragic battle, it was as if she was in the middle of it all and she could completely see Lu Ming having a difficult time fighting it out.
"It's hard on you, Lu Ming." She lightly patted Lu Ming's shoulder and softly said, "Don't blame yourself anymore. It's not your fault."
"Right now, I am still unable to confirm whether the Prince's Mansion is alive or dead."
"Don't worry, he's still alive."
"The prince is still alive?" Lu Ming raised his head in surprise and looked at Qi Yu, "How does Consort Wang know?"
"I've already heard that the Prince Jing’s Masion has two people within it. One is a patient, and the other is an old man. Then it must be Chu Yixuan and Uncle Lin!
"Patient? — Yes, yes, the prince's health is indeed not good. During the past few days when we came to the Eastern Barbarian, the prince's condition was extremely low."
"Low state?" Qi Yu was startled, "What do you mean? You mean, ever since you all came to the Eastern Barbarian, his health had always been poor? "
"No, before we came to the Eastern Barbarian, Your Highness' condition was already very bad!"
"How could that be? He was fine when I saw him! "
"That was an act by the prince, so as not to worry the wangfei. In fact, in those days, His Highness had often gotten sick and coughed. If not for Uncle Lin by his side … "
If not for Uncle Lin taking care of him, Lu Ming would not even dare imagine his situation!
"During the two times that he saw the wangfei, in order to not let her see any clues, he had the Uncle Lin give him a shot. Every time the needle was inserted, the prince's face would turn red, making him look like a normal person. However, the truth is that the prince coughed every night. Even if Uncle Lin gave him medicine, he would only barely be able to control his sickness and would not improve at all. "
How could this be? In order to not let her see any clues, Chu Yixuan actually had the Uncle Lin give him a shot? Every time he was injected with a needle, it would always make him look good?
No wonder, no wonder she didn't sense anything amiss about him. Why, why did Chu Yixuan do this?
He clearly knew that she was a student of medicine. Even if her skills were lacking, she should at least think of a way to treat his illness, right?
Qi Yu clenched her fists. She was so angry, so hateful!
He was so angry that his body wasn't well yet, why did he hide this from her? He hated why his body clearly wasn't well yet, and why he still travelled a long distance to the Eastern Barbarian to save this Helian Jing.
"It's all my fault," Lu Ming lowered his head in distress. "If only I had insisted on following the prince into the palace, perhaps, this would have been a completely different situation …"
"It's useless. Even if you follow him, at most you will be added to the number of people in the Prince Jing’s Masion."
"But …"
"Don't blame yourself. Right now, you are still alive, and they are still alive. As long as one was alive, it was a good thing! We can think of a way to save him, can't we? "
"Princess has a way?" Lu Ming was pleasantly surprised.
"There must be a way!" Qi Yu said.
She firmly believed in this. As long as she was willing to work hard, there was definitely a possibility of success!
Jun Zibi came back, and brought back the medicine Qi Yu gave him in a hurry. I also brought a type of Blood Clotting Ointment, which can treat the wounds on Lu Ming's face and make sure that there are no traces left on his face after he recovers. "
"Thank you, Hero Jun!" Lu Ming said gratefully, "However, I am not afraid of scars on my face. I am a man, it is normal for me to have scars."
"Sigh, you're not even married yet. It's not good to have scars on your face." Jun Zibi smiled and handed the medicine over to Qi Yu, "The doctor has already prepared the medicine for me, check if it is correct."
Qi Yu nodded, she opened up every pill and checked carefully, praising, "Your ability is not bad!"
After concocting the medicine, he healed Lu Ming's bones once again. The pain made Lu Ming sweat profusely, but he still did not make a sound. After applying the medicine on Lu Ming and bandaging him up, he carefully hung Lu Ming's injured arm on his chest and warned him, "Be careful, your hand is not allowed to move at will. In the first seven days, I will help you change your medicine once a day.
"What should we do, Prince?" Lu Ming ignored his pain and asked Qi Yu urgently.
Qi Yu paused, "We will think of a way to save him. You need to recuperate properly from your injuries. You can rest properly later, Jun Zibi and I will discuss our plans to save him. "
Lu Ming looked at Jun Zibi and said gratefully: Thank you, Hero Jun, for your hard work. "If there's anything I can do for you …"
"You just need to rest." Qi Yu said, and helped him treat the wounds on her face again, then signaled Jun Zibi to help him to move Lu Ming to the grass patch on the side, only then did the two of them leave the room.
"What is this place?" Qi Yu asked Jun Zibi.
Jun Zibi said: "This is an abandoned house. Lu Ming has been staying here ever since he was injured. "
"Then how did you meet him?" Qi Yu was suspicious.
"Because, I made a trip to the Prince Jing’s Masion last night. When I left, I was almost ambushed by Prince Jing’s Masion. It was Lu Ming who saved me. There were several times that he tried to enter Prince Jing’s Masion to save his master, but he was not able to recover from his injuries in time. His health was a little poor, and he nearly fell into the Prince Jing’s Masion's trap the other times. "
"Then how did you manage to enter the Prince Jing’s Masion?"
"They intentionally let Lu Ming in, in an attempt to catch Lu Ming and his brothers in one fell swoop. But I went in, almost got hit, and died in there. Lu Ming is now my savior. "
Qi Yu frowned, "Are you saying that the defenses of the Prince Jing’s Masion are very tight? We won't have a chance to go in again? "
Jun Zibi nodded slightly, "Yes."
Qi Yu's heart slowly sunk.
