"Just because you insulted my husband!"
Xie Yunjiao raised her voice, looking as if she was ready to fight with the imperial guards.
The imperial guard looked at Xie Yunjiao with even more disdain in his eyes.
She was just a bitch, and she actually dared to attack him? He would beat her up right after.
Anyway, she was the one playing with fire, and he wouldn't be responsible if she hurt herself!
"Yun Jiao, this is the imperial palace, don't be rude!" Lian said unhappily with a serious face.
Xie Yunjiao turned her head unhappily to look at Lian Yan, and said with a look of grievance, "But Dad, you heard it too. They insulted Lian Qi like that. It was really too much."
"They have their own mouths, and it's their business what they like to say. Was it because the previous punishment wasn't severe enough that you forgot so quickly?"
Xie Yunjiao's expression changed, and she quickly put down her hand that was about to attack: "It's my fault."
After Xie Yunjiao's commotion, everyone looked towards them with amusement.
Many people were discussing loudly, "I heard that it was this woman who provoked the Fifth Prince, which led to the fight between Lian Qi and the Fifth Prince."
"It's said that one should marry a virtuous wife. It seems that Master Lian Yan has really been badly harmed by these two people."
The Royal Guards left triumphantly.
Xie Yunjiao breathed a sigh of relief, and while no one was paying attention, she secretly winked at Gu Huai.
Gu Huai smiled back.
Lian Yan's clenched fists loosened.
Compared to face, he thinks life is more important.
Fortunately, after Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai made such a fuss, they were regarded as fools by everyone, which made those who suspected them relax their vigilance.
Everyone is trapped in the Imperial Garden and cannot leave for the time being.
Soon, the royal guards found the assassin's nightgown near the cold palace, but strangely, there were no traces of knife wounds on either of the nightgowns.
"That's strange, didn't I hit the assassin just now?"
If the two assassins had not covered their faces, leaving only their eyes exposed, and the surrounding light was too dim, he would not have been able to recognize who the man was.
"My Lord, I see that those two assassins are so familiar with the palace's terrain. They were able to escape to this cold palace so quickly. They must not be people who come in and out of the palace occasionally."
"That's right. The banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden is quite far away from the Cold Palace. It would be impossible to rush back so quickly."
Since it wasn't one of those ministers, the assassin could only be someone in the palace.
"Call out all the palace maids and palace servants, I want to check them one by one!" said the leader of the Royal Guards.
Everyone was shivering with cold in the Imperial Garden. Finally, someone came back and told them that they could leave. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know what happened. The emperor is obviously not injured, so why is he so nervous?" Someone couldn't help but mutter.
"Shut up! You are not allowed to talk about royal affairs here!"
Xie Yunjiao and the others left the palace in a hurry and never left again after returning to the Lian family.
They didn't truly breathe a sigh of relief until they heard that the royal guards outside the palace had left.
Gu Huai's wound had been bandaged, and he looked pale and almost collapsed.
"Gu Huai, are you okay?" Lian Yan walked in.
He saw Xie Yunjiao carrying a basin of blood and pouring it out. The water was so thick that it looked like the blood that had flowed from her body.
It seems that Gu Huai was seriously injured.
"It's nothing serious, don't worry."
Xie Yunjiao did not participate in their conversation but stood outside, not letting anyone else get close.
She waited until Lian Yan left before returning to the house.
Gu Huai was sitting on the bed at this time, already drowsy.
"Gu Huai, take some medicine before going to sleep." Xie Yunjiao handed the medicine to Gu Huai.
Gu Huai took it and drank it in two or three gulps: "Madam, I'm very sleepy."
Although he said he was sleepy, he did not close his eyes.
Because he was afraid that if he closed his eyes he would not be able to protect Xie Yunjiao and others.
Xie Yunjiao gently tucked him in and said softly, "Go to sleep. You have protected us for so long. It's time for us to protect you."
"You guys?" A hint of doubt flashed in Gu Huai's eyes.
"Daddy, it's us."
Doudou and Lian Jin appeared out of nowhere and looked at Gu Huai with concern: "Dad, are you okay?"
Doudou looked at Gu Huai lying on the bed, the exposed bandages oozing with blood, it was painful to look at.
He wanted to touch it, but he didn't dare.
"Dad is fine. It's just a minor injury. He will be fine soon." Gu Huai said.
But the two children still looked at him with worry, as if they were about to cry.
He knew that he must not be seen by his family when he was weak, otherwise they would worry and be sad.
"You don't have to worry, mom is here." Xie Yunjiao said.
Doudou secretly turned her head away and wiped her eyes before turning back and saying, "Well, mom is the best."
Ye Baien didn't come to see Gu Huai until several days later, because there was always someone guarding the Lian family.
"I heard that you were seriously injured. Let me take a look." Ye Baien gestured to Gu Huai to undress.
Gu Huai did as he was told.
When Ye Baien saw the wound on Gu Huai's back, he was stunned for a moment: "What...what is this?!"
Gu Huai's wound was actually sewn up like clothes!
But strangely enough, if someone were injured this badly, the wound would normally be difficult to heal.
But when he looked at it, the wound seemed to have healed well.
"I used the stitches to sew Gu Huai. I read in an ancient book that wounds can be sutured, but the wound must be treated, and the stitches and needles must be sterilized at high temperature." Xie Yunjiao said.
However, the thread she used to suture the wound was ordinary cotton thread for sewing clothes. If the wound was almost healed, she would have to help Gu Huai remove the stitches, and she would have to feel the pain again.
The situation was urgent and conditions were limited, so this was all she could do.
"Wonderful, very wonderful!"
Ye Baien was so happy that he slapped his thigh. Why hadn't he thought of this before?
This way, soldiers can recover quickly after being injured and can return to battle soon.
"Master, this is my first experiment, and the sutures aren't very good. It will be troublesome to remove them later," Xie Yunjiao said. "But I haven't left the house these past few days. I've been researching at home and have come up with a better suture method."
Ye Baien immediately became interested and watched Xie Yunjiao take out the pork and sew it up. He watched from the side with great interest and forgot about Gu Huai's existence.
Ye Baien watched Xie Yunjiao sew once and immediately became interested. He asked Xie Yunjiao to step aside and he also learned to sew.
It is rare for a man to use a needle to mend clothes. If someone sees him holding an embroidery needle, they will definitely laugh at him for looking too feminine.
But since mending can save lives, he is not afraid of being laughed at!
