Su Mengyan looked puzzled, and when she looked at Situ Yao, she even doubted his brain.
Situ Yao also thought of this, so he raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "Help me get back. As for this dog... didn't this young master say he would help you? Don't let his kindness go to waste."
After a slight pause, Situ Yao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't that right? This young master?"
He had just taken the initiative to agree, and now Ji Jinghua couldn't regret it. He could only grit his teeth and nod, cursing Situ Yao countless times in his heart. He always said that people from rich families were not good people.
If Ji Jinghua said he didn't care now, it would be like he didn't really mean it. But he wasn't really willing to deal with this little bastard himself. However, Su Mengyan was watching him eagerly, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course, Miss Su, leave it to me."
"Thank you for your hard work." Su Mengyan smiled brightly.
When the two returned to the room, Situ Yao finally couldn't help himself and raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "Su Mengyan, are you pretending to be stupid, or are you really stupid?"
Ji Jinghua has already shown it so obviously, but Su Mengyan still seems not to notice it at all. He is a little puzzled. Is it that Su Mengyan really can't see it at all, or she has seen it and is pretending to be stupid?
"Ah?" Su Mengyan looked at Situ Yao blankly, with a look of complete confusion.
"It seems really stupid."
Situ Yao sighed and shook his head with a look of pity.
Su Mengyan: ???
She felt aggrieved for a while, then she pouted and calmed down. After all, Situ Yao had disliked her for a long time, so she could say whatever he wanted.
"Just stay in this room. I'm going to rest for a while." Situ Yao yawned lazily, turned around and lay down, and at the same time, he threw in a sentence: "If I wake up and find you're not here, don't blame me for breaking your legs and tying you up in this room."
"Yes, yes, yes." Su Mengyan agreed repeatedly, rolled her eyes, and looked a little helpless.
Ever since Situ Yao fell ill, his temper had become erratic, occasionally saying he would break her legs or do something to her. Each of his words was more severe than the last, but he never did a thing.
I don’t know what’s going on in this person’s mind.
She lay on the table in the room, tilting her head to look at Situ Yao. It turned out that this man looked cuter when he was asleep.
She doesn't say excessive words and doesn't have a proud look on her face.
This guy is really good looking...
Su Mengyan was beginning to feel drowsy as she thought about this. Suddenly, she heard a sound of air breaking. She woke up subconsciously and rushed to Situ Yao's side: "Your Highness—!"
This is a completely instinctive reaction.
Su Mengyan didn't even think about the consequences of doing this.
There was a sharp pain in my back.
"Your Highness..." Su Mengyan's eyes went dark due to the pain. She cursed herself countless times in her heart. Was she mentally ill? Why was she blocking the knife for the protagonist?
"Su Mengyan!"
Situ Yao had long since regained consciousness and could definitely dodge the incoming arrows. He just hadn't expected that Su Mengyan, that idiot, would actually come over to block the attack for him. He held Su Mengyan in his arms, narrowed his eyes at the group of black-clad men before him, and sneered, "Do you think your life is too long?"
"Shadow Guard!"
Following Situ Yao's angry roar, the surrounding shadow guards appeared one after another, and as soon as they appeared, they entangled with these men in black.
The man in black was obviously no match for his opponent and soon fell into a disadvantage.
Situ Yao had no intention of caring about those things at the moment. He held the person in his arms, looked at the blood on his hands and the long arrow stuck in her back, and said in a trembling voice: "Su Mengyan, wake up!"
Su Mengyan was unconscious, unable to open her eyes, and her body was covered in blood.
Almost the entire bed was dirty.
Those people's target was Situ Yao, so they didn't do anything to the farmer's family. The man was just unconscious and there was nothing serious wrong with him.
The shadow guard who followed saw that Situ Yao's leg injury had not yet healed completely, so he wanted to take Su Mengyan from him, but Situ Yao refused to give her to anyone. He held her in his arms and said sternly: "What are you standing there for? Get your horses ready!"
The shadow guard didn't dare to delay and escorted Situ Yao to the best clinic in town.
By the time they arrived at the clinic, Su Mengyan was almost dead. Situ Yao was furious and said with gritted teeth, "If you can't save her, you won't live either!"
The people in the clinic were trembling with fear, and no one dared to say that the patient was beyond help.
When the arrow was pulled out, Su Mengyan screamed with some consciousness and then fainted from the pain. Behind a screen, Situ Yao clenched his teacup tightly, his eyes fixed on the swaying figure behind the screen, and asked through gritted teeth, "What's the situation?"
The shadow guard didn't dare to speak.
People in the clinic were carrying basin after basin of blood and cloth in and out. Situ Yao felt a tightness in his chest as he watched, as if he was unable to breathe.
"Why is there no sound?"
Situ Yao frowned after hearing no sound from behind the screen for a long time, almost wanting to get up and go behind the screen to take a look. The shadow guard was sensible and went to check first, then came back and said, "Concubine Su has fainted from the pain. Why did Your Highness send the signal so late?"
As agreed before, there should have been a signal two days earlier.
Situ Yao pursed his lips for a while before shaking his head slightly without saying anything.
He was too greedy.
In the palace, emotions were cold, and he had to be cautious in everything he did. But it was different in the countryside. Everything was peaceful and comfortable, making him want to stay longer.
He just didn't want it. He wanted peace, but someone couldn't help but disturb his sweet dreams.
"Your Highness, we've already investigated. They must be from the Bai family, as they have the family crest on their bodies. Ever since Your Highness left the capital, these people have been following you, but they've never been able to discover your whereabouts. They only managed to track you down recently, and that's why they've all followed you here."
"Empress Bai..." Situ Yao murmured in a low voice, his expression gradually becoming cold.
"I understand." Situ Yao turned his head to look at the silent screen, tapped the table with a little irritation, and said in a deep voice: "Go tell the head of the clinic that if the person can't be saved, there is no point in keeping them."
"Your Highness!" The shadow guard was shocked.
Seeing Situ Yao's cold expression, the shadow guard knew that even persuasion would be futile at the moment, so he simply changed the subject: "I'm afraid Concubine Bai has already left people at Princess Yunfu's place, waiting for Your Highness to arrive. Princess Yunfu has already sent people for protection as per your instructions, but... I'm afraid you still need to leave as soon as possible and return to the capital to take charge of the situation."
