Chapter 33 Damaged

Jiang Qingning shook his head: "You're not worried, you're possessive."

"I've refused time and time again to pique your interest and make you want to get closer to me. This isn't a worry."

Qin Xiu frowned. He was not good at explaining.

After thinking for a long time, it finally turned into a sigh in his chest.

"Whatever you say, that's what it is."

"But Doctor Song still let her in to check Miss Jiang's wound?"

"I swear on my life: If I reveal the truth hidden in Ning Pavilion to anyone except this door, I will die a miserable death, lonely and old for the rest of my life, without a good ending. What do you say?"

Qin Qiu looked at Jiang Qingning seriously and raised his hand to swear without hesitation.

Jiang Qingning was deeply shocked.

"Why would Prince Qin make such a solemn oath with a stranger like me?"

lobby.

Jiang Qingning sat on the chair with a complicated expression, anxiously waiting for the doctor's results.

Her gaze shifted to the side, to the contented Qin Xiu, and she couldn't help but ask, "Prince Qin, why are you helping me so much?"

Just now, Qin Xiu swore that he would never cheat her. Jiang Qingning gritted her teeth and believed him, allowing her younger sister to get treatment. Now, when she thinks about it, she finds it absurd.

"Do I have anything that the prince wants?" Jiang Qingning asked him seriously.

"If I say I have it, will you give it to me?" Qin Xiu raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile.

Qin Xiu did help her. Without his help, everything would have been exposed.

Jiang Qingning's fingertips felt cold: "Whatever Prince Qin wants, I can give it to him."

She bit the tip of her tongue and clenched her hands tightly in her wide sleeves.

Qin Xiu looked at her seriously. She looked so scared that she was afraid of being pestered by him, but she still had to say such nice words to coax him.

"I'm kidding. Ning Pavilion's wedding cakes are delicious. If you really want to express your gratitude, please give me a month's supply of wedding cakes. But please change up the flavors a bit, or I'll get tired of the same flavor if I eat too much of it."

Qin Xiu chuckled lightly, his tone serious, not looking like he was joking at all.

"Is that all?" Jiang Qingning asked him again uncertainly.

"That's all." Qin Xiu nodded firmly.

But I was so attracted by her cuteness that I couldn't help rubbing my fingertips. I really wanted to hold her in my arms and comfort her.

She was born to a good life, but was treated like this by that despicable man.

Qin Xiu felt sad for her, but fortunately, she got divorced.

With him around, no one will bully her anymore.

Doctor Song walked in, breaking the stiff atmosphere in the front hall.

"Prince, Miss Jiang." She stepped forward and saluted.

Jiang Qingning stood up eagerly and asked anxiously, "Doctor Song, is my sister okay? Has the wound worsened?"

Doctor Song shook his head and said seriously, "Miss Jiang, don't worry. Your sister must have been in good health since she was young, practicing martial arts. It's just that the arrow wound is quite deep. But fortunately, she was treated in time, and she takes tonic medicine every day. Although the wound looks unbound, it's actually fine."

Jiang Qingning was worried: "She bleeds every day and is in so much pain every night that she can't sleep. Is there any other reason?"

Doctor Song smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang. I'll write two prescriptions for your sister later. She should take each of them for half a month. She can also apply the wound medicine externally. But remember not to change the gauze too often, otherwise it will easily stretch the wound."

Jiang Qingning felt relieved: "Thank you, Doctor Song. Zi Su, tea is served."

She nodded apologetically to a few people, then walked quickly towards the backyard.

As soon as Doctor Song sat down, Zi Su immediately served him fresh pastries and tea.

Qin Xiu silently looked at the maids who were arranged by Jiang Qingning to take care of Doctor Song.

When he looked back, he saw only Qingzhi smiling at him. Jiang Qingning didn't even look at him, otherwise she would at least ask him if he was used to drinking this tea.

Why did he suddenly feel so depressed? Qin Xiu lowered his eyes to hide the loneliness in them.

Jiang Qingning hurried to the backyard, where he heard countless instructions from Nanny Zhang.

"I told you not to change the gauze too often, but you didn't listen and changed it secretly at night!"

Jiang Qingxi stuck out her tongue playfully and admitted her mistake obediently, "I'm just worried that the blood will stain the gauze and make Sister worry if she sees it."

If Jiang Qingxi was asked to move out of this yard and move to the next room reserved for her by Jiang Qingning, she would absolutely not be willing to go.

Having not seen his beloved sister for eight years, Jiang Qingxi wanted to chat with his sister day and night in bed.

Jiang Qingning walked into the room expressionlessly: "But you've made me very worried."

Jiang Qingxi's back stiffened as she felt Jiang Qingning's aura of immense pressure coming at her, making her dare not move at all.

After a long moment, she swallowed.

Turning back flatteringly: "Sister, you don't have to worry now, I'm really fine!"

Jiang Qingning sighed: "Fortunately, you are okay. If you were really in trouble, how would I explain it to my parents?"

Outside Ning Pavilion.

Jiang Qingning bowed to Qin Xiu and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for what you did today, Prince Qin. Qingning will never forget my promise to you."

Qin Xiu lowered his eyes to look at her and asked, "Then will you still wait for Cheng Yan to come to you?"

Jiang Qingning was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Since you already know everything, it won't change whether I see him or not."

Qin Xiu understood this sentence immediately. Jiang Qingning was explaining that she would never see Cheng Yan again.

My mood inexplicably improved, and the feeling of jealousy dissipated.

"I do what I say." Qin Xiu chuckled and turned to leave.

Jiang Qingning waited for a long time after he walked away before slowly standing up and looking at Qin Xiu's receding back with melancholy.

She seemed to know what Qin Xiu wanted.

Unfortunately, she can't afford it.

"Zi Su, don't forget to make cakes and send them to Duke Qin's mansion every day for a full month."

Jiang Qingning turned back without hesitation. The slowly closing door of Ning Pavilion was like two difficult-to-cross chasms.

She was on the humble side, while Qin Xiu was the one who held the power of life and death.

This kind of scene was something she never wanted to see again in her life.

Anping Marquis' Mansion.

Xun Chen slowly got out of bed, holding Zhuxi's hand and slowly walked around the room. He was already covered in cold sweat and the pain from his wounds was unbearable.

The long sword in the assassin's hand was actually made of cold iron, and it injured his meridians after entering his body.

In addition, Guozhang happened to be unwell that night, so almost all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital went to treat him.

The Anping Marquis's Mansion couldn't even invite the remaining imperial physicians.

It was not until the next day that the emperor remembered the patient and sent the imperial physician to treat him.

Although the doctors in the capital were quite skilled, they still delayed his recovery.

"Have you found any trace of the assassin?" Xun Chen asked with a sidelong glance.

"He has not been found in the Jingzhao government office and the Dali Temple, but there are wanted posters for the assassin posted everywhere in the capital. I guess he still can't be found. He must have escaped from the city during the chaos." Zhu Xi explained in a low voice.
