Emperor Da Zhao stared at Si Youhong's head for a long time, then finally raised his hand. "Please stand up, my dear! I am only agitated by a moment of sadness. You are my right-hand man, how could I doubt you?" One of the dogs was dead, and he had no one else to turn to. Of course, he had to become close to the other dog again.
For those in power, there's no such thing as confidants or not, only obedience or disobedience. He still needs to wait and see whether the dog in front of him will continue to be obedient, but at least for now, he has to keep calm.
Si Youhong stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!" He lowered his head and was very submissive. But his heart had already been broken, and he no longer wanted to be the dog of the Great Zhao Emperor.
Emperor Da Zhao looked at his ministers and said, "I will send people to investigate this matter in detail, but I don't want to see anyone spreading rumors or causing trouble again. Otherwise, they will be punished with the same crime as the murderer."
...
Renji Medical Clinic.
The early morning sun shines through, illuminating the ward.
Shen Aoshan, who had been treated and bandaged, was still unconscious. Yan Miaoling blamed herself very much and lay beside her bed, "Sister, it's all my fault..." Why did she leave first? If she hadn't left first, the heroine wouldn't have encountered this disaster.
Yan Miaoling wiped her tears and confirmed with the system again, "Is the heroine really okay?"
The system was helpless, "Oh, didn't I tell you, I'm just weak and need some time to rest."
"Then why don't you wake up?"
Before the system could reply, someone poked her in the back and said, "Here, these soy milk and fried dough sticks I just bought. Eat them while they're hot!" It was Night Owl in a nightgown.
Yan Miaoling was too sad to control her emotions. She turned around to avoid the breakfast he brought her and almost accused her, "Let me ask you, as a guard, what on earth were you doing instead of protecting my sister personally?"
Ye Xiao also knew that he had acted irresponsibly. He lowered his eyes and put breakfast on the table outside without further explanation. "Remember to eat when you're hungry later!"
"Night Owl! Don't play dumb. Is it true, as you said, that you stayed in the Shen family just to seek refuge, so you forgot your responsibilities and became passive and lazy?"
After she arrived at the scene of the chase yesterday and rescued the heroine, she encountered the Night Owl on her way to the clinic. What kind of guard is this? The master was in imminent danger of being hacked, and he was nowhere to be found.
Thinking of the critical moment last night, Yan Miaoling is still frightened. "Do you know, if I had been a step later, my sister would have died! A life..."
Her eyes were red, and she looked so pitiful crying that it should have made Ye Xiao feel even more guilty. But he laughed instead. Feeling the little girl glare and frown, he looked away to hide it. Then he turned back to the teasing tone, "Your sister is a living being, but why didn't you see her when you killed someone..."
"Night Owl!" Yan Miaoling interrupted! Standing up, she pleaded, "Brother, you know, my sister might be in trouble after this, so constant protection is absolutely necessary for her. I beg you, can you please be more serious and dedicated! If you don't want to do it for free, I'll figure out how much you want!"
Yan Miaoling's eyes were stubborn and serious, which made Ye Xiao also serious. Just when he was about to say that I don't need money, I just want you...
She was interrupted by Shen Aoshan who woke up slowly. Her voice was very soft, and she grabbed Yan Miaoling's hand tightly, "Ling'er, don't... cough cough cough... don't blame him... I asked him to do the job..."
"Sister, you're awake!" Yan Miaoling's eyes lit up, finally relieved. It had nothing to do with whether their lives were tied together, but rather the ever-deepening bond between the two sisters.
Shen Aoshan struggled to tell all...
It turned out that Yan Miaoling was being chased by bullies not far from the academy gate last night, and was coincidentally encountered by Shen Aoshan and her personal protector Ye Xiao on her way back. Since they were all noble ladies who knew each other, Shen Aoshan was reluctant to intervene directly.
So he sent Night Owl to disguise himself and intercept...
She searched all the way, hoping to find Yan Miaoling first. But Yan Miaoling had already rescued Si Qingqing and was rushing to Renji Medical Clinic.
The two of them missed each other by accident.
After searching around the academy for a few times and then returning to the Shen residence to look for Yan Miaoling, she hurried to the Renji Medical Clinic to look for her. By coincidence, she ran into Chuan Bai at the door and asked if Yan Miaoling had been there. Chuan Bai shook his head and said he hadn't seen her.
Indeed, I didn't see it, because Yan Miaoling and Si Qingqing went in stealthily to look for Bai Muchen.
Shen Aoshan was anxious and ran to Bai Muchen's third courtyard to look for him. After finding nothing, she wanted to go to the clinic to ask Bai Muchen for help in finding the person, but she didn't expect that the people from the East Factory would show up right after she arrived.
As she was hiding in a corner observing what was going on, she was suddenly pulled into the space by Yan Miaoling. The two of them didn't have time to exchange much information. Yan Miaoling only had time to urge her to accept the responsibility of saving Si Qingqing and thus get in touch with the commander of the Jinyiwei, Si Youhong.
Thinking of this, the frail Shen Aoshan also realized something was wrong. She turned her gaze to Ye Xiao, "You were just going to...intercept someone, why...did you take so long..." This guard had an extraordinary background, and Shen Aoshan had no hope of keeping him under control for long.
But at least it was still within the one-month deadline, and people in the underworld valued loyalty and would follow through on their word. After almost an entire night away from the team, shouldn't they be given an explanation?
Yan Miaoling was also curious and stared at him intently, waiting for his explanation.
Being stared at by the two sisters, Ye Xiao lazily sat on the chair and spoke frankly, "I despise Princess Helian's brainless appearance. I knocked her out and hid her away after holding her hostage. This morning, I had my men treat her to a disheveled state and threw her into the vegetable market!"
Yan Miaoling and Shen Aoshan, "......"
This is indeed what Ye Xiao, a bohemian and unscrupulous person, would do.
Night Owl raised his eyes and stole a glance at Yan Miaoling.
Just because he was afraid she would complain that he was going too far, Yan Miaoling excitedly stepped forward and asked, "Where are the others? Are they coming too?"
Night Owl nodded, "All at once, not one was left!"
Yan Miaoling curled her lips and patted his head, "Brother, well done!"
...
Women's College.
Bad news arrived, "Yan Miaoling, failed the poetry appreciation class and the embroidery class!"
!!!
Yan Miaoling was unwilling, what?
She could understand why she failed the poetry appreciation class, as she didn't complete the homework assigned by Feng Peiyi because she saved the heroine, but why did she fail the embroidery class?
That peony flower took her an entire night to pick. Her fingers were pierced and her eyes were almost blinded!
Puzzled, she wanted to "discuss" with the teacher who was handing out the results. He then picked up her embroidery and asked, "Everyone, please look at this! How could you possibly approve something this eye-catching?"
The female students burst into laughter, "Hahaha... What is this, a black patch..."
My deskmate kindly reminded me, "Hey, I saw Wang Qianru sneaking into the craft room the other day. Could she have done something?"
Wang Qianru was the one who surrounded Yan Miaoling together with Princess Helian.
Yan Miaoling only found out later that she was the cousin of the Second Miss, Shen Jingqi. No wonder she bit me so hard!
Yan Miaoling took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. "How dare a 28-year-old modern person like you bully me? Just wait and see!"
