Chapter 214 We are friends, I can't let you die for me
Looking at Huo Qingchen who suddenly sat up straight, Yu Youning and Jiang Lingzhou looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Huo Qingchen looked at the two of them, his face full of helplessness.
But the next moment, he looked at Chu Huaixu.
Looking at the unconscious Chu Huaixu, Huo Qingchen's expression became more and more complicated.
"Youning, is the prince really okay?"
"It's really okay." Yu Youning said seriously, "Even if you don't believe me, you should believe my junior brother. At worst, there's still my master!"
"I didn't disbelieve you..."
Huo Qingchen hurriedly defended himself.
"I am..."
Seeing Huo Qingchen lowering his head and remaining silent, Yu Youning moved closer curiously, "What is it? Why are you acting so weird?"
Huo Qingchen hesitated for a long time before telling the truth.
"Before we set off, my eldest brother told me one thing. He told me to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince no matter what, even if it meant sacrificing my life."
"Before, when you were in danger, I didn't help you because I wanted to protect the prince."
"This time, I was also protecting the prince, but when the arrow came, it was the prince who blocked it for me."
"Youning, am I useless? I can't even do what my eldest brother asked me to do."
The more Huo Qingchen spoke, the lower his voice became.
Looking at Huo Qingchen like this, Yu Youning felt as if she saw herself crying while hugging her mother.
Her face suddenly turned red.
Was this how she was just now?
But soon, Yu Youning suppressed this thought and cleared his throat with a serious face.
"Huo Qingchen, it's already happened. Is it any use for you to be sad and regretful and blame yourself here?"
"Instead of doubting your own usefulness here, you should cheer up and heal your injuries quickly."
"Wei Zhao has already sent people to investigate the origins of those people. Don't you want to know who sent them?"
"Don't you want to know who their target is?"
"Don't you want revenge?"
With every word Yu Youning spoke, Huo Qingchen's face became more and more stunned.
By the time Yu Youning finished speaking, Huo Qingchen had lost his previous dejection.
He was full of fighting spirit, and his eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Youning, you're right! Instead of being sad and self-doubting, it's better to catch the person behind this! If it weren't for this person, none of this would have happened!"
Yu Youning looked at Huo Qingchen with appreciation and patted him on the shoulder, "Well said! Let's work together to find this person and settle accounts with him!
"good!"
Outside the room.
Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan looked at each other in surprise.
After a long while, Wen Shiyan touched his nose and said with a suppressed smile, "Learning and applying immediately proves that Youning's brain is quick! This is a good thing!"
Yu Tingwan gave him a funny look and said, "I didn't say this wasn't a good thing!"
...
The next morning.
After getting up and washing up, Yu Youning went to see Chu Huaixu again.
I had just walked to the door and hadn't even seen the situation inside the house clearly when I heard Chu Huaixu's voice.
"Youning!"
Yu Youning looked carefully and saw that Chu Huaixu was not lying flat, but leaning on a soft pillow, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Yu Youning walked to the bedside and frowned.
"Why are you sitting up?"
"Your injury is on your chest. If you lie down like this, your upper body will exert force, and the wound may burst open, causing bleeding and delaying recovery."
"Didn't these Liuyun tell you?"
Liuyun was standing beside the bed. After hearing what Yu Youning said, he just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Why didn’t he realize before that little Yu Youning had such a strong aura when she was angry!
Liuyun was about to hide when he heard Chu Huaixu's voice.
"Liuyun, help me lie down quickly."
Liuyun didn't dare to hesitate at all. He immediately stepped forward and carefully helped Chu Huaixu lie down.
After Chu Huaixu lay down obediently, he asked Yu Youning, "Youning, how do I take medicine while I'm lying down?"
"Use a reed, or a thin bamboo stick, and poke it open in the middle."
"Put one end in the medicine bowl, and bite the other end to suck the medicine into your mouth."
Yu Youning said, his voice softened a little, "Of course, I'm not saying that you can't get up. You can stand up, or sit up completely, but you can't lie half-lying like that..."
Chu Huaixu listened attentively, "Youning, I understand! I won't do it again!"
After hearing what Chu Huaixu said, Yu Youning finally felt satisfied.
"Let me take a look at your wound."
As she spoke, without waiting for Chu Huaixu to answer, she reached out and tore off his pajamas.
To avoid contact with the wound, the pajamas were not tied.
Yu Youning's movements were extremely quick, and he lifted up her clothes directly.
The wound that had been cleaned last night still looked bloody.
Not to mention children of five or six years old, even adults would feel their stomachs churning and look fearful when seeing this scene.
But Yu Youning's expression was exceptionally calm, and his eyes were very serious.
After staring at it carefully for a long time, Yu Youning finally relaxed and nodded with satisfaction, "You're recovering well. I used the best wound medicine to promote wound healing. Don't look at the wound being so big, it will heal in three to five days."
"Well, I believe Youning!"
Chu Huaixu said this and nodded vigorously.
"Then you should have a good rest. Don't forget to eat something. I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first!"
As soon as he turned around, Yu Youning saw Huo Qingchen with a somewhat awkward expression again.
She didn't think about why Huo Qingchen looked awkward, but just walked over to check the injury on Huo Qingchen's arm.
After making sure that nothing unexpected had happened and that his wounds had healed well, Yu Youning left without any hesitation.
Even after Yu Youning left for a while, Yu Youning's raised voice could still be heard in the room, "Junior Brother! Let's go!"
Jiang Lingzhou did not answer.
All that could be heard was the footsteps of two people gradually fading away, and finally disappearing completely.
Huo Qingchen then moved his head and quietly looked towards Chu Huaixu, "Your Highness, this time, it's all my fault. I failed to protect you!"
"No." Chu Huaixu shook his head slowly.
"Your Highness, you don't need to comfort me. I know it's me—"
Chu Huaixu shook his head again, "It's really not because of you. I pulled you away on purpose."
"But...why?" Huo Qingchen asked in confusion.
"No reason." Chu Huaixu's expression was indifferent. "If I have to give a reason, it's that I don't want you to take the blame for me. Ever since I knew the order your eldest brother gave you, I had already decided that I would never let you take the blame for me."
"Why?"
"Isn't this obvious enough?" Chu Huaixu frowned slightly, "You are the same age as me, you are neither my bodyguard nor an official in the court, so you are not my death warrior.
We are friends, how can I watch my friend die for me?"
"But my eldest brother told me..."
"That's your eldest brother's business. I won't agree to it." Chu Huaixu smiled at Huo Qingchen, "You don't have to think too much. Aren't we all alive and well now? Youning and Jiang Lingzhou are such great doctors, and with Master Chu here, we're definitely not going to die."
When Huo Qingchen heard this, he just pursed his lips tightly but said nothing.
That’s not what the prince said!
The prince is the king and he is the subject.
When the prince is in danger, he should come out to stop him.
The prince blocked an arrow for him this time, so he owed the prince a life!
The two of them seemed to have nothing to say to each other, and neither of them could convince the other, so they just kept their mouths shut.
-
Yu Youning knew nothing about the situation here. She and Jiang Lingzhou found Wei Zhao who had just left the court.
When Yu Youning first saw Wei Zhao, he was shocked.
At this time, Wei Zhao's eyes were dark and he looked listless.
"Did you not sleep all night and then go straight to court?" Yu Youning asked.
Wei Zhao didn't answer, but called in a guard, "Tell me what you found out."
"yes!"
After hearing the guards' story, the three of them finally knew.
So many men in black appeared in the capital of Nanzhao because they were protected by officials in the court.
Even the whereabouts of Yu Youning and others last night were revealed by officials.
And this official had received help from the Jiang family a long time ago.
The two brothers of the Jiang family who were officials in the court died tragically one after another, and the Jiang family was completely ruined.
He had previously thought that Wei Zhao dealt with the Jiang family only because of the late emperor.
After the death of the late emperor, Wei Zhao will definitely help the Jiang family to redress their wrongdoings.
But the reality was completely different from what he thought.
Not only did Wei Zhao have no intention of vindicating the Jiang family, he even hated the Jiang family more than the previous emperor.
He realized that something was wrong and began to investigate privately.
Although there was no substantial evidence, he was certain that Wei Zhao was definitely responsible for the Jiang family's fall to this point.
In order to avenge the Jiang family, he colluded with the people of Xiliang and assassinated them in the street on the night of the Lantern Festival.
In addition to wanting to kill Wei Zhao, he also wanted to kill Chu Huaixu.
The people from Xiliang had already told him Chu Huaixu's identity.
In his heart, Wei Zhao had a close personal relationship with Prince Dayong, and even let Prince Dayong live in the palace under an assumed name. He had already become a sinner of Nanzhao and was no longer worthy of being the emperor of Nanzhao.
Only by killing Wei Zhao and Chu Huaixu and allowing other princes to succeed to the throne can Nanzhao be completely safe.
After hearing this, Yu Youning's face turned cold, "Where is he? I want to see him!"
Wei Zhao nodded, and soon a disheveled man was brought in.
The man looked to be around thirty years old and was quite handsome. Yu Youning even had some impression of him.
This man had made great efforts in helping the woman remarry, and at that time, Yu Youning had a pretty good impression of him.
But now...
Yu Youning looked at him with a stern face, "Do you know that the assassination in the street last night would kill many people?"
