Chapter 10 Bitten by a Dog
On this side, Shen Yue returned to her residence and started cursing. The shadow guards didn't know what had happened, so they had to hide aside and keep silent.
Bai Yunfei brought a plate of plums, trying to calm her director's temper, but she became even angrier after eating them: "What is this? It's so sour!"
"Then, I'll take it away right away..."
"A Fei, wait a minute!" Seeing Bai Yunfei's innocent look, Shen Yue finally realized that she shouldn't transfer her anger to others.
"Let's dry them. I like eating dried plums. Also, give me some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine!"
Bai Yunfei subconsciously replied "Hey", then realized something was wrong.
"The director is injured? Tell me who did it, and I'll go get him!"
"Oh, forget it." Shen Yue said impatiently.
If he knew who did it, he would be scared to death.
"Well, I was bitten by a dog. It's okay. Just go get the medicine if you ask me to. Don't ask any more questions."
"oh."
Bai Yunfei scratched his head and wondered as he walked out, there is a dog in this palace?
After returning to the room, Shen Yue took off her outer robe, sat on the edge of the bed, lifted up her trouser leg to check, and sure enough, there was a large bruise on her leg.
This damn prince looks so skinny, but he has so much strength!
She struggled for a long time, but not only did she not get the silver back, she was also kicked. It was really a bad start.
However, Xiao Yuheng probably didn't gain any advantage either, as his injuries were no less serious than hers.
Thinking of this, Shen Yue suddenly felt less sad.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door. Shen Yue thought it was Bai Yunfei coming to deliver medicine, so she raised her voice:
"A Fei, just leave the medicine at the door."
But the person outside the door not only did not stop, but pushed the door open with a "creaky" sound.
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Yue quickly got into bed.
"Damn it, didn't I tell you not to come in... Prince?"
Xiao Yuheng had just walked around the screen when he heard the word "Uncle" and his face turned visibly green.
Shen Yue also realized it later, and remembered the national quintessence that she had just blurted out in the study, and subconsciously moved back.
"What are you hiding from?"
The man looked suspicious and took a step forward to sit beside her bed.
"Why are you taking medicine? Are you injured? Let me take a look."
As he spoke, he pretended to care about his subordinates and reached out to lift the quilt.
Shen Yue was so scared that her face turned pale.
Although she was still wearing her underwear, her trouser legs were rolled up. Once he lifted the quilt, he would definitely find the wound on her leg.
"No!" She quickly pressed the corner of the quilt and tucked it under her butt.
"Well, I'm not injured, it's just..."
She pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I have hemorrhoids, so it's really not appropriate for me to check it out. Besides, I haven't showered for over a month, and I'm afraid it will bother you."
She spoke so seriously that even Xiao Yuheng couldn't see any flaws.
However, this Shen Er's voice is really similar to that of the person just now...
After a moment of thought, he finally decided to stand up and said, "Then you should have a good rest. If you are seriously ill, please consult the court doctor."
"Hey, hey, hey, great! Your Majesty, you are so considerate of your subordinates. It is truly a blessing for our Shadow Guard Division!"
Chen Yue felt as if she had been pardoned and started to flatter the emperor. However, before she could say a few words, Bai Yunfei's voice was heard at the door.
"Director, your medicine is here. Would you like me to apply it on you?"
Xiao Yuheng, who had already stood up, gave a look, and Shen Yue immediately understood and said repeatedly: "No, no, just leave it at the door!"
Bai Yunfei nodded. "Okay then, Director, remember to apply the yellow one first. Brother Zhang said that if you get bit by a dog, you should apply this anti-inflammatory and analgesic first. Once the wound is healed, you can apply the blood circulation and blood stasis-removing one."
When Shen Yue heard this, she felt like the sky had fallen.
Ah Fei, Ah Fei, the director knows that you are considerate, but you are almost killing the director!
She looked up at the man in front of her. His expression was so ugly that it could no longer be described.
"Director, Director? Did you hear that?"
"I heard you, get out!" Shen Yue said word by word, gritting her teeth.
"oh."
The door closed, and the man approached sinisterly and pinched her right calf hard through the quilt.
"You were bitten by a dog? But here?"
Shen Yue gasped in pain, a thin layer of sweat instantly breaking out on her forehead, but she still smiled and said, "No, I fell down myself and was embarrassed to tell them, so I said that. Yeah, that's it."
"Oh? Did you have hemorrhoids or did you fall?"
The man had a sinister smile on his face, and Shen Yue felt a chill run down her spine when she saw it.
"Your Highness, I have a clear understanding. I did have hemorrhoids and I did fall. I did not lie!"
She squinted her eyes and acted pitifully, but her left hand from under the quilt quietly reached to the inside of the bed, took out a brass knuckle, and put it lightly on her finger.
At the same time, she began to think about what kind of moves Xiao Yuheng might use to attack, and how she should counterattack, rehearsing it over and over again.
Unexpectedly, after looking at her for a while, the man suddenly stood up.
"Have a good rest. I am leaving."
Seeing him leave, Shen Yue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but a vague sense of unease arose in her heart.
The next morning, Xiao Yuheng's study had already returned to its original state. He sat at his desk, flipping through books casually. He was not surprised at all by what Changfeng reported. "You said the person last night was Shen Er? What evidence do you have?"
Chang Feng stood in front of the table and responded respectfully: "Although I have no substantial evidence, there is indeed something wrong with Shen Er."
"That night when the Nether Palace attacked, he was the one who silenced the people. This is one."
"The shadow guard who was following us yesterday reported that after leaving Mantingfang, Chen Er went to Songhe Tower in addition to the cake stall. After questioning, we learned that he was looking for the antidote to the Bone-Erosion Powder. The Bone-Erosion Powder is the poison used by the Nether Palace to control the assassins. This means that he is a member of the Nether Palace and that he planned the incident that night with the intention of betraying the Nether Palace. This is the second point."
"Yeah, that makes sense." Xiao Yuheng nodded. "Then tell me, why did he come to my study last night?"
"Well..." Chang Feng scratched his head, "I think he sneaked into the prince's study because he either discovered the secret room or he was after the bag left behind by Qiao Er."
"burden?"
"Yes, I left the bag in the study yesterday and only took it back when I remembered. Thinking carefully, Zhang Dayong from the Second Division once came to me and hesitantly said he wanted to take back Qiao Er's bag. Although he didn't explain the reason, I checked today and found that Qiao Er's money was all embezzled from the shadow guards, and most of it was Shen Er's money."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuheng raised his eyebrows as if he suddenly understood.
"So they're making such a big fuss just to get the money back to buy the antidote... Interesting."
Chang Feng knelt on one knee and said, "I failed to discipline my subordinates and allowed the bad guys to sneak in. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
"We'll talk about punishing you later. What do you think should be done with Shen Er?" Xiao Yuheng knocked on the table.
Chang Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'll kill him right now!"
"No." Xiao Yuheng curled his lips and slowly spun the teacup. "It would be a shame to kill someone with such great skills. Why not try him first?"
