Before he could finish his words, the clever servant ran away like a wisp of smoke!

On Li Zhengdong's side, even though it was late at night, his daughter had not come home yet, so Li Zhengdong found it hard to sleep.

Just as he was worrying, a voice came from the house of the night watchman: "Master! Master! "Oh no, quickly get up and take a look, the young miss is back!"

Li Zhaodong heard this and his heart skipped a beat. Something must have happened!

He quickly walked to the door and pushed it open. At this moment, the small house also walked to the door. Li Zhengdong came up and asked anxiously, "Did something happen to Miss?"

The little house let out a small breath and said to Li Zhaodong, "No, Master, don't worry. The young miss is fine and seems to have fallen asleep, but Gongyi has a lot of blood on his body. I reckon that Miss and the others have already reached the front hall. Master, you should hurry over to take a look! "

The moment the small house's voice faded, Li Zhaodong walked towards the front hall without a word!

In a moment, Li Zhaodong arrived at the front hall. From afar, he saw the bloody Uncle Gong Yi supporting his daughter. He was shocked, and ran into the room to take her.

"Gong Yi, what's going on? How did you get injured so badly? " Li Zhaodong asked worriedly.

"Uncle Li, there's no need to worry. I'm fine at first, but I'm drunk. Please let Jingning come over and take care of me." Gong Yi Bo said while enduring the pain.

Jing Ning was Li Chu's personal maid, and Jing Ning was the youngest daughter of a peasant family. However, she was too poor to raise this child, so she sold Jing Ning to the Li family to be Li Chu's playmate.

The master and the servant had a good relationship since they were young, and Jing Ning's name was also given to her by Li Zheng's Eastern family.

The two of them could be said to be innocent. Jing Ning had treated Li Chu very well. Li Yuan had treated her like a sister, so Gong Yi naturally knew Jing Ning very well!

Li Zhaodong immediately called for the little house behind him to go call Jing Ning. The little house was very smart, and quickly ran away. Not long after, Jing Ning came over with two servant girls.

Li Zhaodong naturally wouldn't say anything. He knew Jing Ning's feelings for Li Chu, and believed that Jing Ning would take good care of Li Chu!

"Gongyi, is there any injury on your body?"

"Li Zhaodong thought of his precious daughter who was unharmed, and he knew that she was still very grateful to Official Yi!" Uncle Li, my small injuries are nothing serious. "

After that, Li Zhaodong brought Gong Yi to the cubicle behind the screen. The two of them sat facing each other. What Li Zhaodong was about to say seemed to have been predicted by Gong Yi …

"Gongyi, I know that you and Chu'er have been childhood friends for a long time, and Uncle Li has seen your feelings for Chu'er. Chu'er has been kind and pure since childhood, but I don't know how dangerous it is for him. As a father, why would I want to go to such a dirty place?! However, the Sovereign's Mandate must not be defied! There was no other way! I know you always like Chu'er, but when Chu'er enters the palace in the future, even I have to be wary of him. You have always been very good to Chu'er, and you have always done things very steadily. "Cough cough …" As he spoke, he began to cough softly.

"Uncle Li, are you alright?" He pretended to help Li Zhaodong by pounding his back.

Li Zheng Dong waved his hand and said, "It's fine, it's a small problem. It's fine."

"What you said, Gong Yi naturally understands that the future will not be the same as the present. Gong Yi will naturally know what to do and will not act recklessly. Please be at ease Uncle Li!" In the bitter language, the heart of the youth was filled with sorrow and helplessness. The love that came out of the cradle was destroyed just like that!

"It's good that you understand. Gongye, I'll have someone come over to treat your wounds. Sit down first and wait." Li Zhaodong suddenly remembered that the person standing there still had wounds all over his body. When he came back to his senses, he felt that he had been disrespectful.

"No need, Uncle Li. It's already late, so I won't disturb your rest. Moreover, my manor has invited a famous doctor today. It would be very convenient for me to return and treat my injuries." Gong Yi Bo politely said.

"Gongyi, if your injuries can really be endured, then Uncle Li will not keep you here. How about this, let this little house send you back. I am relieved too!" Li Zhaodong persisted.

Seeing that he could not bear to leave, he looked at his injuries and agreed, "Alright then. Gongyi thanks Uncle Li, you should go back to your room and rest!"

Then he called for the small house and ordered it to escort him back to the house.

When the small house was brought to the nearby streets of the Gong Yi Prefecture, Gong Yi sent the small house back. The boy was already out in the middle of the night, and thus, he was scared out of his wits.

En route to the inn, Esteemed wangfei found a clothing shop and woke the gatekeeper with a cold expression.

The shop assistant was shocked when he saw the attitude of the public servant. Perhaps he was a child that would be for a long time in the future, but after seeing this scene, he could no longer remain calm.

"Give me a clean set of clothes." While the shop assistant was still in shock, he took out a few pieces of silver and placed them on the counter.

After the shop assistant received the money, he took out a set of plain clothes and passed it over. He also kindly asked, "Does this hero need to change his clothes in the store?"

Earl Gong Yi ignored him and turned around to leave.

The waiter was left dumbstruck. "Did I say the wrong thing?"

Gong Yi felt a bit uncomfortable, but he still told the doctor that he was injured and asked the doctor to treat him.

He took off his robe, which had long been torn to shreds by the blade, revealing his sturdy body. His shoulder, which was the color of wheat, was still slowly dripping with blood, and there were also some bloodstains on the back of his chest. The heaviest wound was on the side of his left arm, which was a mess of flesh and blood.

After the doctor had treated all the wounds on his body, he changed into clean clothes, paid the doctor, and left.

Walking slowly on the quiet road, Gong Yi Bo's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Asking what love was in this world directly taught people how to live and die together!

He had been protecting the girl for so many years, but in the end, she still wanted to stay away from him, but he could not do anything about it!

The only thing that lingered in his mind was the scene from when he first met Li Yue. Memories were beautiful, but reality was cruel. He, who was already riddled with scars, felt a slight pain in his chest.

When he thought about what Li Zhaodong had said, he felt even worse.

Suddenly, a stream of blood came out from his mouth. It was not because he was indifferent, but it was because he was really hurt!

Gong Yi raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and walked towards the Gong Yi Mansion.

Not far from the river, there was a dead tree growing on top of a dead tree. An owl stood on top of the dead tree and its eyes were flashing as if to add a touch of mysteriousness to the restless night.
