Chapter 233 Wealth and Prosperity Have Finally Arrived!
Without saying a word, Zisu picked up Li Nanke and slipped out of the tent.
As soon as I stepped out of the tent, a long sword was thrust at me.
Zisu let out a startled gasp, only to see the sword suddenly retract.
The person who came was Nangong Qiang!
Nangong Qiang glanced at Li Nanke's tear-streaked face, then her gaze fell on her blood-stained little hands.
His gaze was cold and his voice was icy.
Who hurt her?
Zisu followed her gaze and saw the blood, and quickly realized what was happening.
"It wasn't the girl's blood, it was because the girl... saved someone."
Zisu thought to herself, "That should be considered a rescue, right?"
They applied medicine, bandaged the wound, and fed the boy medicine. Although the bandage was later torn open, the girl even tried to strangle the boy.
But since they did administer the medication, the patient didn't vomit it up.
"What's wrong with her?"
Nangong Qiang touched Li Nanke's tears with her chin, her expression icy.
A gust of cold wind outside sobered Li Nanke up a bit, and his rationality returned.
Shen Xu deserves to die, but he cannot die at her hands!
He was, after all, a prince. Now that His Majesty had sent so many people to look for him, if they were to find out that she had killed Shen Xu, the entire Anping Marquis's mansion would be beheaded.
She took a deep breath and whispered instructions to Nangong Qiang.
"Master Nangong, there were a few people catching a thief just now. Could you please find a way to inform them that the thief they are looking for is here?"
She pointed to the tent behind her and instructed, "Master Nangong, remember not to show yourself, and don't let anyone trace it back to you."
Nangong Qiang raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised, but did not ask any further questions.
Without hesitation, he turned and left.
Zisu led Li Nanke away from the tent area, found a quiet corner, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the bloodstains from her hands.
He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you alright, young lady?"
Zisu had watched her daughter grow up and had never seen her like this before.
Li Nanke had completely calmed down and gently tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"I'm fine, Sister Zisu. Let's go back to the shed. Tongyun will come out looking for me if it gets any later."
She didn't say anything, and Zisu didn't ask any more questions. She smiled gently, took her hand, and walked towards the shed.
As soon as they entered the tent, Yu Miaoyin, who was on the stage, came up to pay her respects, her water sleeves swirling.
The play is over!
Wang Tongyun listened with rapt attention and exclaimed, "It's a pity you didn't see the climax just now, Ke'er. It was truly full of twists and turns, and it was so exciting!"
"Oh, right, Ke'er, where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Only then did Wang Tongyun remember to ask further questions.
Li Nanke smiled and said, "I saw an acquaintance just now, so I chased after him and realized I had mistaken him for someone else."
There were so many people here, you know, and I don't know the way, it took me ages to walk back.”
Wang Tongyun nodded, not paying any attention, but pointed at her head and said with a grin, "It's obvious you've been gone for a long time; you've even lost one of your hair ribbons."
Li Nanke reached out to touch it and realized that the hair ribbon on the left side had fallen off at some point.
Her hairband also had pearls adorned with perilla leaves, which she liked very much.
Could it be that he fell into that tent when he was rescuing Chen Xu?
"Sister Zisu, could you help me go and look for it?"
She gave Zisu a wink.
Zisu, always observant, immediately thought of the same thing as her, and her expression changed slightly.
The little boy attracted the attention of martial arts experts, so his identity must be extraordinary.
If the girl's hairband is left in the tent and someone picks it up, it will be troublesome if the trail leads back to the girl.
Zisu immediately turned and left.
Li Nanke ordered a pot of honey water and, while eating snacks with Wang Tongyun, continued to listen to the opera absentmindedly.
Little did they know that after they left, while Nangong Qiang was out delivering a message, someone else sneaked into the tent.
"Mother, didn't we say we were going to see a play? What are you looking for here with me?"
Zhao Wanqing asked Song Hui in a low voice, puzzled.
"Shh!"
Song Hui gestured for silence and secretly glared at Zhao Wanqing.
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb anyone. Whether our family can enjoy endless wealth and luxury depends on today."
The people she sent out brought back confirmed news: Shen Xu had already entered the capital and was near Xiangguo Temple.
Song Hui had been searching near Xiangguo Temple for several days, but had not found any trace of Shen Xu.
Knowing that she had seen Li Nanke today, she suddenly had a brilliant idea.
Since that brat Li Nanke has been reborn, she must also be looking for Shen Xu.
She followed behind Li Nanke; perhaps she would gain something from it.
"I just saw that brat go into the second to last tent. Let's go in and take a look."
Song Hui muttered to herself and pulled Zhao Wanqing into the tent.
A strong smell of blood hit her, and when she saw the unconscious person lying on the ground, her eyes widened.
He rushed forward in two strides, half-knelt on the ground, stared intently at Shen Xu on the ground, and then became so excited that he almost trembled.
That's right, the person in front of me is none other than the First Prince, Shen Xu!
Haha, this is truly a case of finding something you've been searching for everywhere without even looking for it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!
Song Hye's life of luxury and wealth has finally arrived!
"Mother, who is this little beggar? He stinks! And he's bleeding so much, is he dead?"
Zhao Wanqing covered her nose with a look of disgust, watching Shen Xu from afar, not understanding why her usually clean mother was staring at a little beggar for so long with such agitation.
Song Hui glared at her.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Even so, she still nervously reached out and touched Shen Xu's nose to make sure he was still breathing, and she was so happy that she almost laughed out loud.
"Quick, come help your mother up, let's take him away first."
Zhao Wanqing looked completely unwilling.
The little beggar was filthy and had lost so much blood.
"You want to save him? What if he can't be saved?"
"Stop talking nonsense, come over and help me get him onto my back!"
As Song Hui spoke, she picked up the white cloth next to Shen Xu and casually bandaged his wound.
Who knows if Li Nanke went to call for help? She has to take the eldest prince away before Li Nanke returns!
Zhao Wanqing dared not disobey her, and held her breath as she helped Shen Xu up.
"Hey, Mom, look, he has something in his hand."
She suddenly gasped.
Song Hui turned around and noticed that Shen Xu was holding something tightly in his hand, with a bit of red peeking out from between his fingers.
It looks like a headband!
She tried to pry open Shen Xu's hands to take the things out, but Shen Xu, though unconscious, was clenching his fists tightly.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pry it open.
Zhao Wanqing stared at the headband for a long time, then whispered, "This headband looks familiar, it looks like the one my cousin Ke'er wears."
Song Hui's heart stirred, remembering Li Nanke who had just gone out.
He immediately grabbed Zhao Wanqing's shoulders and whispered, "Remember this, this red hairband is yours. It's your favorite hairband!"
Zhao Wanqing looked bewildered.
"Oh? But... Mother, I don't like red hairbands!"
