Upon hearing this, Manager Xu suddenly realized what was going on.
Marquis Weiyuan had visited Wangchun Tower many times, so he knew him. He was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. With such a background, he must have made many enemies in the past, so it was normal for his enemies to come looking for revenge.
"I see!"
Afterwards, Rong Qingqing discussed the renovation of Wangchun Tower with him and instructed him to arrange for Manager Liu and the others to leave first. Not long after Manager Xu left, Changlin brought in a doctor.
When Rong Qingqing saw that it was the same Physician Lin from last time, she was not surprised.
"Physician Lin, please examine Miss Shangguan," she said immediately. "She has been unconscious for quite some time."
Physician Lin put down his medicine box. "I will examine her now."
After a short while, Physician Lin finished his examination and said, "Miss Shangguan was knocked unconscious after hitting her head. She will wake up soon. I will prescribe some medicine for her. When she wakes up, have her drink it."
"Thank you very much, Physician Lin," Rong Qingqing said gratefully.
Physician Lin waved his hand, went to write a prescription, and handed it to Changlin.
"If there is nothing else, Madam, then I will take my leave now."
"Changlin, see Physician Lin off for me." Rong Qingqing nodded and instructed Changlin.
"Physician Lin, please!" Changlin saw Physician Lin out and went to get the medicine on the way back.
After all that fuss, it was already late. Just as the medicine was ready, Shangguan Yanran woke up.
Rong Qingqing had been staying by the bedside. When she saw Yanran wake up, she was overjoyed. "Yanran, you're finally awake."
Shangguan Yanran rubbed her forehead and sat up. "What's wrong with me?"
"Have you forgotten about the assassin?" Rong Qingqing asked with a smile.
Shangguan Yanran then remembered what had happened before she fainted, and asked with wide eyes, "Are you alright?" She remembered that the assassin had already raised his sword at Qingqing.
"I'm fine. You should drink this medicine quickly so I can have Changlin take you home later." Rong Qingqing handed her the medicine.
Shangguan Yanran then noticed that it was already dark outside the window, so she quickly took the medicine bowl and gulped it down.
"It's late, I have to go back now, otherwise my parents will worry."
"Alright, I'm going back too. Let's go down together." Rong Qingqing took the empty bowl and placed it on the table next to her.
"Mm." Shangguan Yanran nodded.
After the two went downstairs, when they reached the entrance of Wangchun Tower, Rong Qingqing gave Changlin some instructions, asking him to escort Shangguan Yanran back.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves rang out.
Rong Qingqing turned her head and saw Xie Jingrun riding over in the deep night.
Upon seeing him, Rong Qingqing was taken aback. Why hadn't this guy gone home yet, so late?
Just as he was thinking this, Xie Jingrun had already reined in his horse in front of Wangchun Tower.
Shangguan Yanran glanced at him in surprise, then, as if remembering something, winked at Rong Qingqing in a slightly ambiguous manner, "The person who's here to pick you up has arrived, so I won't disturb you any longer. Let's get together another day." After saying that, she got into the carriage that Changlin had prepared.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
"Qingqing, I'll be going now." After getting into the carriage, Shangguan Yanran drew the curtain and waved to her.
"Okay, be careful on your way." Rong Qingqing waved to her as well.
The carriage quickly drove away.
Just then, a dark shadow loomed over. Rong Qingqing turned around and saw Xie Jingrun. A smile habitually appeared on her lips. "My lord, it's so late. Why haven't you returned to the manor yet?"
Xie Jingrun glanced at her, but didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked, "Are your injuries any better?"
