C85

Carefully touching that person's wrist, then listening to his heart …

Without medical equipment, the only thing he could do in this situation was to wait and see … Fortunately, she had grown up with her grandfather and learned some basic Chinese medicine knowledge from him … Otherwise... Without the aid of medical equipment, a surgeon like her would simply be an egg when faced with such problems...

"Sir Xu, look, this …"

He wasn't as tall as his own shoulder, but was thin and skinny. He was clearly a disaster victim. These people actually found such a little girl to treat the young lord? The guards were extremely dissatisfied. Under normal circumstances, they would have already thrown him out, but the situation was special. The young lord was unconscious, and the wind outside was blowing fiercely … However, they still couldn't trust this girl …

"This person … "Please don't be impatient, please don't be impatient …"

However, he still had to pretend that he was calm. He knew that this person was probably one of the emperor's secret guards, but he couldn't reveal the identity of the person in front of him at a time like this. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of a proper name and could only call him "Venerable One".

Yes, he was indeed a noble.

Although he was a government official and was considered a parent, in the eyes of the other side, he was just a small official.

He had done it well. He might have just gone straight up to the top, but … But perhaps …

"You, what are you standing there in a daze for? Quickly go and ask!"

The thought of offending these people and not being able to finish them in the future left him feeling displeased. He then pushed all the blame onto Xu Qiuyi.

Why did you find such a useless girl when you asked you to find a doctor? Wasn't this all intentional?

"Nona, look …"

However, since Lord Xu had already spoken, he had no choice but to brace himself and ask.

After careful examination and serious questioning, Jiu Niang had already made a preliminary judgement. She coldly glanced at Xu Qiuyi and lightly said, "She won't die."

She slowly stood up and patted her waist. Jiu Niang unhappily waved her hand. It was fortunate that there was a veil over her face. Otherwise, everyone could see how ugly her expression would be.

Tsk tsk … The heck, she thought that someone was planning to kill her for her wealth, but it turns out that they were looking for her to save them.

F * ck, I really can't stand injuries anymore these days. If you say you want me to save him, then speak properly. You actually tied me up and left without saying a word. You are truly a bastard. When she met them on the way to escape, Jiu Niang had already guessed that their identities were not simple.

Now... She was even more certain of her guess!

I'm afraid that these people are not only of extraordinary status, but also … And it was not simple at all …

Alright, are you going to ask Nona how she knew?

F * ck … Even the Prefect was trembling in fear as he stood to the side. His face was ashen white like a sieve, and he looked like he was the one who wanted to die … No matter what, all officials were the same. They were all despicable people who relied on their power to bully others … Especially... Just look at how fat he was and he almost couldn't even put on his official uniform … [You don't look like a proper official in the court...] According to normal circumstances, shouldn't an official like him hug his concubine and be intimate with her during such a late night?

There was only one possibility. This person's identity was not simple, and it was not simple either!

Well, Nona had guessed it right.

Ever since he received the news that the Xu family had secretly sent someone to deliver it, he and Xu Qiuyi had searched day and night for a very long time … In order to bring them in this afternoon, there was quite a bit of commotion at the city gate … Right now, the entire city gate was locked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.

"Shua!"

"Shua!"

A few shiny steel sabers were placed on her neck, and in an instant, she felt a chill down her neck, all the hairs on her body standing up as she heard a gloomy voice saying, "Little girl, I don't care if you're playing tricks on me. If our Young Master doesn't wake up today, then you'll be buried with him!"

This was the first time someone had used such a tone to speak of their Young Lord.

All the guards were enraged.

Ever since he was young, no one had ever dared to disrespect him, but this little girl … again and again to challenge their bottom line...

Along the way, they had spent a lot of energy and managed to successfully bring the young lord to Jincheng. From the initial dozen or so people, they now had five, and two of them were heavily injured, unable to move at all.

And the young lord was unconscious.

If it wasn't... If the young master didn't need someone to save her, and this surnamed Xu meant to show that this girl really had some ability, perhaps … Based on her words just now, her head had long since landed on the ground …

"Bury? "Hmph …"

Let me die with him?

She glanced at the men in black who were holding her on their sabers, and saw that they were also in a sorry state, they probably didn't even have time to change their clothes. She remembered these two, they were also present when she gave the medicine to the teenager, but … It's just that they don't seem to remember me …

He couldn't blame them, since he was covered in dirt, similar to the ones he had dug out from the trash. Now that he had cleaned up the mess, it was normal for them to not recognize him.

But...

"Where's the medicine?" Didn't he take the medicine I gave him? "

That's right, I could tell at that time that he was poisoned and that the poison was not light, but it had already injured his internal organs. Logically speaking, it was already a miracle that he was able to live this long … This meant that his identity was either rich or noble, and he had a highly skilled doctor by his side. Coincidentally, he had obtained the snake poison at that time, which coincidentally allowed him to exchange it for some traditional Chinese medicines with the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying the poison. Actually, he didn't seem to want to interfere at the time. After all … However, all of this was a coincidence. Besides, he was just casually helping out, so he thought it would definitely be best if they formed a good relationship …

However, he didn't expect to meet her here. It was just his situation …

"Medicine?" What medicine? " At this moment, a man pushed open the door and walked in without a word of greeting.

"It's you!"

Nona recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this fellow the shameless one who lied to her about the sweet potato? Who else could it be? She really didn't expect him to still be alive.

"It really is the legacy of a calamity for a thousand years."

He seemed to have been severely injured. A thick stench of blood permeated the air, along with a faint smell of decay. He was limping while leaning on a long stick. However, that look was still full of aggression. Just one glance was enough to make Jiu Niang's scalp tingle.

"We've met before?"

The man frowned slightly and looked at Nona in confusion.

He was the leader of the dark guards and had always been by the young lord's side, protecting the young lord's safety while monitoring the other guards.

Not even the young master knew his identity.

"What, not admitting to lying to someone about their sweet potato?" Curling her lips, Jiu Niang coldly said, "If a person doesn't remember, then you should at least remember this, right?"

He took out the jade pendant from his pocket and showed it to the man.

Although Jiu Niang knew that she was very different from when she saw them, she was still unhappy when she thought about how he cheated her sweet potato away.

"Eh? It's you, you're that little girl from before? "

As expected, the leader of the Dark Guard recognized the jade pendant in Nona's hand at a glance.

He had always carried this jade pendant with him, because at that time, he was sure that the two little girls wouldn't be able to survive without food on them. He felt a little guilty, so he gave the jade pendant to them.

But...

"Tsk tsk, not bad, not bad. I still remember."

Nodding, Nona pursed her lips and a mocking smile quickly flashed in her eyes.

However, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he felt that this jade pendant could be exchanged for quite a bit of silver, so he did not throw it away. If he did so, perhaps …

"Alright, since his identity has been confirmed, let me ask you, where is the pill that I gave him back then? Have you eaten? "

Although Situ Xi hadn't been in a very good condition at that time, she hadn't reached such a critical state. As long as he took the medicine on time, it wouldn't be able to cure the poison in his body, but at least it would at least be able to alleviate the poison.

Judging from the way he was thinking, his entire body was extremely swollen, and he seemed to have become a full circle fatter than before.

Of course, this kind of fatness was not because he gained weight, but because of his edema.

Although Jiu Niang couldn't guess when the poison was administered to him, she estimated that it wasn't a short period of time. It was likely that his internal organs were already injured. Such edema indicated that his internal organs could no longer endure and were beginning to fail.

"Yes, yes …" "Of course I'll eat it. The young lord won't listen to my advice and insisted on eating it …"

It would be fine if Ninth Mother did not mention this. However, when she did mention it, the leader of the Dark Guard immediately jumped up in anger. At the same time, his face darkened, "Speak, what did you give the Young Master? Who are you? Why did you want to harm Young Master? "

He grabbed Nona's neck, and the leader of the Dark Guard's face was frighteningly dark. His pair of cold eyes did not have the slightest bit of warmth to them, and a trace of blood-colored light flashed across his eyes.

She exuded a strong killing intent. Nona was very sure that this person would most likely kill her …

But...

"Impossible!" If he took the medicine that I gave him, how could he have ended up like this! "

Yes, that's impossible.

The medicine she gave him was to clear away heat and detoxify poisons. Furthermore, it was a very mild Chinese patent medicine. At most, it would have a slight healing effect and would not have turned into what it was now.

If she had tried to poison him, it might have been because he had been hollowed out all these years. He might not have been able to bear it and become like this.

But...

Nona would never admit to anything he had never done before.

"Impossible?" How is that impossible? Didn't you see it with your own eyes? "

The leader of the dark guards still had a gloomy face. During this period of time, they had been closely protecting the young master. Let alone living people, even a fly couldn't get close to him.

And the only one who had gotten close to the young master and returned the treasure to him was this girl.

Thus, the moment he saw Ninth Niang, he immediately treated her as his murderer … He didn't even consider whether Nona had a motive for committing the crime …

"All of you, look at the Young Lord. No one is allowed to get close to him!" One of his hands tightly gripped on Nona's neck. Seeing her face gradually turn pale, the leader of the Dark Guard pulled her away with a dark expression.

Everything happened too quickly. By the time everyone reacted, the two had already left the room and disappeared.

"Ah …" Ninth Mother, Ninth Mother … That... Um, that nobleman, listen to me. Nona is a good person … "You must have misunderstood …"

Xu Qiuyi never expected that the guard would treat her like this, and he suddenly panicked … Although his son's body was recovering day by day, but … But before he completely recovered, he was still very worried, and the only hope was on Nona. He reflexively wanted to chase after her, but unexpectedly, he was caught by the Prefect.

"Stop, where are you going?"
