Chapter 13 All or Nothing
There was a noise at the door, and Jiang Qingqing thought it was Liu Xubai breaking in.
But I didn't expect it to be a man covered in blood.
The first thing Jiang Yu said when he came in was: Save me.
After saying this, he fainted on the ground. The door closed as he fell, and Jiang Yu lay across the inside of the door, blocking the entrance.
Frightened, Jiang Qingqing rolled her eyes speechlessly and said deeply:
It's numb already.
Where did this god come from?
He wanted to throw the person out, but was afraid of alarming Liu Xubai who was outside the yard.
However, the fact that this person was able to evade Liu Xubai's sight and sneak into her house showed that he was quite capable. Perhaps if he saved her, he would gain an ally.
Jiang Qingqing put the buns on the table away and saved them for later.
After searching through the drawers in the room, he finally picked out an uglier piece of clothing, tore it into strips, and used them to patch up the wounds on Jiang Yu's body that were still bleeding.
Jiang Qingqing ignored the bloodstains on Jiang Yu's face and his blood-soaked clothes.
No intention of cleaning the wound either.
To clean the wound, I also have to help him take off his clothes and wipe his body.
She would not do anything that would make her feel cheated. She was already doing her best to help him tighten the wound and stop the bleeding.
When Jiang Yu woke up again, it was already night.
He was awakened by the smell of food.
Struggling to open his eyes, he saw Jiang Qingqing sitting alone at the dining table, slowly eating her meat bun, one bite at a time. There was also a dish and a soup on the table, but they looked rather bland.
"Um..."
Jiang Yu wanted to get up, but the wound on his waist was hurt and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Jiang Qingqing came here following the reputation, but she never stopped eating buns.
He said lazily, "Do you want to eat?"
You've lost so much blood, it's time to replenish it, right?
Jiang Yu looked down at the bandaged wounds on his body. Facing Jiang Qingqing's concerned questions, the guilt in his heart almost overwhelmed him.
As soon as I asked Jiang Qingqing whether she was my mistress that day.
He regretted it.
But Jiang Qingqing didn't give him a chance to apologize and turned around and closed the door.
Hearing the low sobbing sounds coming from inside the door, Jiang Yu didn't dare to knock on the door again, for fear of saying something wrong again.
To this day, in the courtyard.
He only learned her true identity from the conversation between Jiang Qingqing and Liu Xubai. She was actually the only princess of Daliang.
Jiang Yu pursed his lips and said solemnly: "Thank you..."
Thank you for letting bygones be bygones.
Jiang Qingqing actually didn't recognize him. How could she tell who he was with blood all over his face?
He replied perfunctorily: "It's just a casual thing."
He waved, calling Jiang Yu over to eat. There was only one bun left on the plate, and the other two dishes and soup were barely touched.
Jiang Yu stood up with difficulty and dragged his heavy body to sit opposite Jiang Qingqing.
He didn't care that his hands were dirty and swallowed the bun in one bite.
Jiang Qingqing blinked: "You haven't eaten anything recently?"
How come she is the same as before?
Jiang Yu nodded embarrassedly, "I was being hunted and had no time to eat."
Jiang Yu's answer made Jiang Qingqing look speechless. It was the first time she heard such a fresh and unconventional reason.
"Is your life valuable?"
Jiang Qingqing was a little curious. There was no contempt in her tone, just pure curiosity.
Jiang Yu certainly didn't think much about it and said naturally, "It's worth a lot."
Jiang Qingqing:!!!
Just call him a good guy.
One bun couldn't satisfy a man's appetite. Jiang Yu looked at the dish and soup on the table and said shyly, "Do you still need these? If you don't mind, I'm not full yet."
Jiang Qingqing looked embarrassed: "I've eaten a few bites of these... They're not very tasty..."
Jiang Yu didn't mind. As a man on the frontier battlefield, he didn't need to be so particular. He just took it and stuffed it into his mouth.
After swallowing a few mouthfuls, Jiang Yu frowned.
Indeed... the taste is a bit off.
This dish has too much salt. As for the soup, I guess there is nothing in it. It is just boiled eggs with a few green onions. It has the original flavor.
Jiang Qingqing looked at him wolfing down the food.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
This person must have been really hungry for a long time, as she can eat the garbage she made so happily.
"Do you want...I have other dishes."
Jiang Qingqing reluctantly opened her mouth.
Those were all delicious meals given by the gods. She herself was reluctant to eat them and could only give her one plate at most.
Jiang Yu shook his head, ate his meal, and spoke incoherently.
“These are good.”
Jiang Qingqing: ...
I just don't want to clean up leftovers.
In a short while, Jiang Yu cleared all the food on the table. Only then did he come to his senses and discover something unusual about this room.
Just about to speak.
But Jiang Qingqing stopped him.
She saw the shock in his eyes. "Whatever you want to guess about the situation in this room is your business. But if you want to spread it, don't blame me for not giving you the antidote in the future. I just fed you a poison."
Jiang Qingqing's poor acting skills failed to fool Jiang Yu.
But Jiang Yu didn't intend to expose it, everyone has their own secrets.
"Okay, I won't tell. I have no way of repaying the lady for saving my life today, and I will not falsely accuse her of anything."
Jiang Yu did not disclose the fact that he knew Jiang Qingqing was a princess.
There are still some reservations.
After all, he is the only one left in the Jiang family now, and whether he can get justice depends entirely on him.
Jiang Qingqing hummed softly.
Anyway, her life was in turmoil and her life was in someone else's hands. She didn't care about having another handle on her.
I stood up and wanted to lie back on my big bed.
But then she remembered that the living room and the bedroom were connected, so she stopped. She pulled her hair irritably and said, "Now that you've eaten and drunk enough, let's go."
She wasn't kind enough to let anyone stay overnight.
When Jiang Yu heard that she was going to kick him out, he quickly tried to persuade her, "I only ask that you give me a place to stay. You don't have to take care of me. I can just find a room wherever I want. If the food isn't enough, I can skip it."
Jiang Qingqing did not immediately agree to his request. She narrowed her peach blossom eyes and looked Jiang Yu up and down.
He said leisurely, "Why should I keep you?"
She couldn't even trust Liu Xubai, someone she had known since childhood, so why should she trust a stranger?
He must be crazy to let a man and a woman sleep together.
"I..."
Jiang Yu wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't find a reason.
"Hurry and go."
Jiang Qingqing had no intention of dawdling with him. Her cold words forced Jiang Yu to reveal his identity. "Your Highness, have you ever heard of the Jiang Family Army?"
I'll die anyway if I go out, so I might as well take a gamble.
The princess who bet on Daliang is a wise person.
Jiang Yu took off the jade pendant from his waist and held it high above his head. He endured the pain in his body and knelt on the ground.
"Your servant, Jiang Yu, is the young commander of the Jiang Family Army. Pursued all the way by the Prime Minister's Office and the Empress Dowager, I fled from Yingzhou to Kyoto, solely to redress the injustice done to the Jiang Family Army! However, before I could enter the palace to pay my respects to Your Majesty, I was severely injured and ended up here."
"This time, the Jiang family was framed by someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion. All the men of the Jiang family, young and old, were imprisoned, with only one person left. The Jiang family has guarded the border of Daliang for generations since a hundred years ago, and has no intention of rebellion. I hope the princess will pity the Jiang family's century of military merit and grant them a place to rest."
Jiang Yu lowered his head, his hands holding the Tiger brand were clenched until they turned blue.
Waiting for Jiang Qingqing's final judgment on him.
He did not ask Jiang Qingqing to redress the Jiang family's injustice, but only asked her to give him a place to stay for a few days.
The resentment and unwillingness of being harmed by a villain, and the desperate gamble made Jiang Yu, a young general who had fought on the battlefield, tear up his eyes.
