Everyone had a gossipy heart. Seeing how lively it was, many passers-by who did not know what was happening gathered around.

Later on, when people asked the person who came first for the reason, the person who came first told them the same question again.

When Li Ning'er heard the words of the commoners, his eyes drooped down as if he was thinking of something, and his face became even more pale.

The two hands hidden in the sleeves in front of him were subconsciously held tightly together, the bones of his fingers turning slightly white.

Seeing that there were more and more people, and that one of them was squeezing in desperately from the outside, the others, seeing this, did not want to miss the liveliness and did not want to be outdone.

Xiao Yi vigilantly guarded Qu Ling as he lowered his voice and said, "Madam, it's not appropriate for you to stay here any longer."

Qu Ling regained his senses, looked at him, and then looked to Li Ning'er who was standing on the other side.

As the thoughts in her head raced, she suddenly squinted her eyes and smiled, but just as she was about to speak …

Suddenly, someone bumped into Li Ning'er.

Li Ning'er gasped, he could not control his body and rushed towards Qu Ling.

Qu Ling opened his eyes wide as he looked at the incoming person, subconsciously wanting to dodge.

However, things had suddenly happened. The distance between the two was only an arm's length, it was easier said than done.

It was unknown who let out a scream, but when Xiao Yi heard the sound, he turned his head to look. He just happened to see the scene of Li Ning'er pouncing Qu Ling to the ground, and immediately became stupefied.

Earlier, he was only concerned with guarding against the people around him, but he didn't expect that the one who would knock Qu Ling down in the end was actually Li Ning'er.

The two girls fell to the ground, Qu Ling was under them, Li Ning'er was lying on top of her, his hand just right on top of her heart.

Being pressed down like that, the injury that had not completely healed caused a heart-wrenching pain to spread out, causing Qu Ling to be unable to catch his breath, and he almost fainted from the pain.

At this time, someone from the crowd exclaimed, "Look! Mrs. Xiao's head! "

When the rest heard that, they all looked towards Qu Ling's head.

From the corner of his eyes, Xiao Yi saw that the hat had fallen to the side. He subconsciously wanted to block Qu Ling.

But it was too late.

Most of the people had already seen Qu Ling's bald head, and their faces revealed expressions of shock.

What other girl or lady in the world would shave her head of black hair, apart from the nuns in the nunnery?

In an instant, these people who had finally calmed down once again began whispering among themselves.

Xiao Yi's expression changed again and again. Seeing such a thing happening right under his noses made him want to commit suicide.

"Miss!" After Qiu Zhu came back to her senses, she quickly stepped forward to help Li Ning'er up.

Xiao Yi regained his senses, and quickly picked up the hat. Not caring about etiquette, he immediately wanted to help Qu Ling who was lying on the ground.

"Don't …" Qu Ling used almost all of his strength to spit out this word.

Only then did Xiao Yi discover that she was clutching her chest and twitching non-stop. Her entire face was pale white and her lips were faintly purple.

If he still did not understand what happened to her at this time, he would be's Dark Guard in vain.

His eyes were red as he shouted towards Li Ning'er and his son: "Go and call the doctor!"

Li Ning'er had yet to recover from the earlier incident, but he was attracted again by the sight of Qu Ling's bald head.

After being suddenly roared at by Xiao Yi, he once again froze.

Fortunately, Qiu Zhu was still conscious.

Qiu Zhu looked at Qu Ling who was curled up on the ground and realized the seriousness of the situation.

Gritting his teeth, he released the hand that was supporting Li Ning'er and said, "I'll go find a doctor". Then, he ran out in a hurry.

The onlookers were not stupid. Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, they were all in no mood to watch the show.

When Qiu Zhu rushed out, the person in front of her even took the initiative to give her a way out.

Some of the more timid citizens had already left without a sound. The rest were either people who had yet to recover from their shock, or people who were bold enough to stay and watch the show. Very few of them had the conscience to leave without doing so.

A black clothed man wearing a conical bamboo hat behind the crowd opened his hand and threw away the small stone in his palm.

He quietly left the crowd.

He had left in a hurry, so he did not notice that someone in the crowd had been following him.

Upon seeing the other party leave, he immediately followed behind him.

The departure of the two seemingly insignificant people did not attract anyone's attention.

Xiao Yi squatted helplessly, not daring to touch Qu Ling, afraid that he would accidentally hurt her again.

From not far away, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.

The horses stopped outside the crowd, and a loud whooshing sound filled the air.

One man jumped down from his horse, rushed into the crowd and squatted beside Qu Ling.

Someone shouted out, "General Xiao!"

The one who came was Xiao Jingyue.

Xiao Jingyue looked at the curled up woman who had a green and white complexion on the ground. His entire heart clenched, and he wished that the person lying on the ground in a sorry state was himself.

He had only walked away from her for a short while, how could something have happened to him?!

He shouldn't have left her!

Upon seeing this, the silent Li Ning'er could not help but say: "Qiu Zhu has already gone to find a doctor."

But no one paid any attention to her.

Xiao Jingyue stared deadly at the woman curled up on the ground. Because he was not clear about her injuries and did not dare to rashly touch her, he could only half-squat helplessly.

He had clearly not spoken a single word in his quiet and peaceful manner, but everyone present could feel a chill from his surroundings that contained a killing intent.

Aside from Xiao Yi and Li Ning'er, who were both standing here in the first place, not a single one of them dared to take even half a step closer.

The most painful moment had passed, and Qu Ling took a deep breath.

She tried her best to open her eyes wide, but when she focused her eyes and saw the extremely familiar face of the man beside her, she immediately felt wronged.

She slowly extended her hand towards him, her purplish lips trembling as she forced out a single word, "Hug."

The woman's soft and gentle voice entered his ears. Although it was only a single word, it caused him to feel wronged, trust, and a sense of being spoiled like a child.

Xiao Jingyue's eyes reddened slightly as he carefully stretched out his hands and picked her up as if she were a treasure.

At this time, Caoital Officials, who had heard the commotion, brought his men over.

When Caoital Officials saw the woman in Xiao Jingyue's embrace, his heart immediately sunk.

On the way here, he had already asked about the whole situation. Knowing that it was his daughter who accidentally bumped into him, he was so scared that his forehead started to sweat.

After instructing his subordinates to stop the commoners from speaking, even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to brace himself and welcome them. He said to Xiao Jingyue: "General Xiao, you should send Madam to the doctor first.

"Lord Caoital Officials should indeed give this official an explanation!"

The one who spoke was not Xiao Jingyue, but Prime Minister Jiang who had also heard the commotion and rushed over.

This place was not far from the Prime Minister Mansion. He heard that his granddaughter had met with an accident and didn't even want the carriage anymore.

When Caoital Officials saw Prime Minister Jiang, he was immediately speechless and did not know what to say.

He was in charge of maintaining peace in the Imperial City, he never thought that these people would dare to surround Mrs. Xiao and his daughter on the streets.

But now, something had happened to Qu Ling right under his nose, and it seemed like it was related to his own daughter.

If something really were to happen to the Mrs. Xiao, forget about the black muslin hat on his head, it was hard to say if he would still be alive.

"The doctor is here." A deep male voice was heard.

Caoital Officials turned around and saw his son-in-law bringing his daughter's servant girl, Qiu Zhu, and an old doctor over.

Without needing to be told, the doctor immediately walked towards Xiao Jingyue.

After Li Chenxuan and his father-in-law had greeted him, Li Chenxuan walked over to Li Ning'er's side and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
