Chapter 192 Sister!
Chu Xinyue pressed down hard on Murong Ye's wound with her hand, then she held on to Murong Nan's hand and stood up.
She did not look at Murong Ye who lost his voice due to the pain, but pointed at the stretcher and said with a self-blaming look, "It's all my fault. I didn't pay attention to the stretcher, not only did I hurt myself, but I almost hurt my second brother."
Murong Nan immediately looked down at her legs nervously, "Where did you hit? Did you hurt your knee? Anyway, the imperial physician is here, I'll let him take a look at you!"
"Oh - no need!"
Chu Xinyue quickly pulled him back and glanced at Murong Ye on the stretcher with concern. "I have thick skin and flesh, so it doesn't matter if I get a few superficial injuries. Second brother's health is more important, let's send him back first!"
This tea talk was taught to her by Ali before she left the palace.
Ali said that in Murong Nan's eyes, the seriously injured Murong Ye was in a weak position. The more she bullied Murong Ye, the more Murong Nan would help Murong Ye.
But on the other hand, the more she showed concern for Murong Ye, the more Murong Nan would care about her.
In Murong Nan's heart, Murong Ye once saved his life. He was not only his second brother, but also his savior.
Now that his benefactor was injured, he must have wanted to take this opportunity to repay the favor he owed to Murong Ye.
Chu Xinyue married into Prince Kang's mansion and became one with him. She showed that she cared about Murong Ye more than Murong Nan did, so Murong Nan would naturally put more of his attention on Chu Xinyue.
Therefore, when Murong Nan saw Chu Xinyue's attitude towards Murong Ye change 180 degrees, he was very pleased and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Murong Ye listened to the conversation between the young couple and became furious.
Is Murong Nan blind?
Chu Xinyue clearly fell down on purpose and cracked his wound!
He wanted to expose Chu Xinyue's false mask right then and there, but his throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence, "Ah...ah..."
"Second brother, it's not your fault that Ah Yue fell down, don't take it to heart."
Murong Ye had never felt so aggrieved before. After hearing Murong Nan's words, he felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat and he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
When Murong Nan saw that he didn't say anything, he jumped off the carriage and ordered the guards to carry Murong Ye into Prince Xian's palace.
In the carriage, Chu Xinyue picked up a rag from the corner and wiped the blood stains on Murong Ye's mouth a few times. "Second brother, you wanted to harm Murong Nan, but it was Murong Nan who saved your life! I don't care how much he owed you when he was a child, this time he has paid it off completely! If you dare to harm him again in the future, I will kill you!"
When she heard the footsteps of the guards approaching, her expression immediately changed back to teary, "Second brother, please take good care of yourself after returning home."
The pain from Murong Ye's wounds was so excruciating that it even caused his internal organs to churn.
He stared at Chu Xinyue, and seeing her gloating expression, his anger rose to his head.
Unfortunately, he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't vent his anger, and he almost got a cerebral thrombosis on the spot.
At this time the guards opened the curtain, Chu Xinyue lent a hand, and watched him and the stretcher being carried off the carriage by the guards.
No wonder Ali asked her to use magic to defeat magic. It's so cool to follow the path of a green tea girl and leave her with no way out!
Seeing Chu Xinyue's friendly expression towards Murong Ye, Murong Nan was moved and pulled her into his arms, "Ayue, thank you! You made peace with my second brother for me!"
Chu Xinyue followed suit and made a cute expression, poking his chest with her index finger, "Yes, I've sacrificed so much for you. If you dare to treat me badly in the future, I won't forgive you!"
Murong Nan took her hand, his eyes full of affection, "No, Yue, you are the most important person in my life, I will definitely treat you twice as well in the future!"
Chu Xinyue glanced at him sideways, "That's not right, why do I feel that Murong Ye is the most important person in your life?"
Murong Nan looked at Chu Xinyue seriously, "Ayue, in my heart, no one can surpass you!"
"I will believe you for now. Anyway, you and Murong Ye don't owe each other anything now. If you dare to get involved with him again in the future, we will have nothing to do with each other!"
After settling Murong Ye, the couple got on the carriage and returned to Prince Kang's Palace.
On the way, Chu Xinyue looked at Murong Nan, who was sitting opposite her drinking tea and eating preserved fruits. She thought over and over again in her heart, and said seriously, "Murong Nan, there is something I feel it is necessary to tell you."
Today, in order to anger Murong Ye, she pretended to be considerate for a long time, but she didn't want to pretend like that for the rest of her life.
Murong Nan met her serious expression and immediately put down the teacup in his hand, "You talk, I'm listening."
"Do you still remember the blood amber pendant your second brother gave you?"
"Of course I remember. It was a wedding gift given to us by our second brother."
Murong Nan said, lowering his eyes to look at her waist. He didn't see the pendant that was once hung on her belt. A look of regret appeared in his eyes. "Unfortunately, the pendant was accidentally broken by Princess Lan Zheng."
Chu Xinyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Princess Lan Zheng didn't break it accidentally. She deliberately took the opportunity to toast me and smashed the blood amber pendant at my feet."
"ah?"
Murong Nan was confused. "Why did Princess Lan Zheng break the blood amber?"
Chu Xinyue did not answer but asked, "There is a small black dot in the blood amber. You told me at that time that the blood amber with more black dots looks like an eye, right?"
Murong Nan didn't know why she suddenly mentioned blood amber, but he nodded and said, "Yes, I also said it looked scary at night!"
"You find it scary not because you are timid, but because there is a puppet dragon sealed in the blood amber."
Murong Nan was stunned when he heard this. "Puppet dragon? You mean, the puppet dragon in Princess Lan Zheng is in the blood amber? How is this possible?"
Chu Xinyue knew that he couldn't believe it. Before he could digest the news, she dropped another bombshell, "The puppet dragon in the blood amber was specially prepared for you by your second brother. Later, when he saw me wearing the blood amber, he had other ideas and asked Lan Zheng to break the blood amber and plant the puppet dragon on me!"
How come?
How come?
Murong Nan was so shocked by her words that he couldn't utter a word.
Chu Xinyue didn't expect him to recognize Murong Ye's true face immediately, and continued, "Your second brother and Lan Zheng both thought that the puppet dragon was in my body. They blew the whistle that day to activate the dragon in my body and use me to kill Ali!"
"Kill, Concubine Xue?" Chu Xinyue's words made Murong Nan's heart skip a beat.
Chu Xinyue looked at the stunned expression on his face, her lips curled up, and she said in a mocking tone, "Yes, but Murong Ye didn't expect that Ah Li had already seen through his trick and ordered someone to make a fake blood amber for me to carry with me. The blood amber that Lan Zheng broke was the fake blood amber, and the moment she dropped the blood amber, I dropped the real blood amber at her feet."
Murong Nan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "But...but..."
He knew Chu Xinyue's character. No matter how much Chu Xinyue hated Murong Ye, she would never mess around with other people's lives.
Unless it's a matter of life and death!
Chu Xinyue saw his inner struggle and took drastic measures, saying, "Murong Nan, I know it's hard for you to accept it for the time being, but what I said is the truth. Without Ali, one of us would have become Murong Ye's killing tool! This time, Murong Ye thought it was me who was stabbed by the puppet dragon, so he was not on guard against Lan Zheng, so he was stabbed by Lan Zheng."
Yes, Murong Nan had thought about it before. With his second brother's skills, how could he be seriously injured by Princess Lan Zheng?
Moreover, he had recently entered the palace and often heard the palace maids and eunuchs discussing the scene when Lan Zheng stabbed Murong Ye.
It is said that Lan Zheng had a strange expression on her face at the time, as if she had lost her soul.
Seeing Murong Nan remained silent, Chu Xinyue did not force him to stop having any contact with Murong Nan immediately. "I have said all. You can believe it or not. It is your freedom. If you find out his true face one day in the future and he wants to silence you, and I failed to save you in time, you can't blame me."
After saying this, she really calmed down and lowered her head to concentrate on eating the candied fruit on the tea table.
Murong Nan looked at her while she was eating and didn't say anything else. He just looked at her silently.
The two of them didn't speak any more along the way.
However, the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
Chu Xinyue knew that although Murong Nan didn't express his opinion, he had actually taken everything she said to heart.
That's enough.
…
The incident of Murong Ye being injured was put to rest.
A few days later, Meng Shi led the envoys to officially leave the post station, go out of the city gate and head south.
Lan Luo also left with them.
Whether Lan Luo was a puppet or not was irrelevant to Murong Che, but since the puppet dragon had injured someone, he had enough reason to refuse Lan Luo from marrying his subject.
Of course, all civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.
No one wants to marry such a terrible person.
If she offended Lan Luo one day, she would kill them secretly and they wouldn't even know how they died.
On the evening when the Nanzhao envoys were seen off, a fast horse came to the capital from the northern border, travelling thousands of miles.
It was late at night and Murong Ye had just taken the medicine and lay down when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
“Your Highness!”
“Ahem!”
The weather was getting colder and colder. The moment Si Sha opened the door, a gust of cold wind rushed into the bedroom. Murong Ye on the bed suddenly started coughing due to the cold.
Originally, the wound on his abdomen had shown signs of healing, but when returning home from the palace, Chu Xinyue fell and deliberately pressed on his wound, causing it to open again and making the injury worse.
At this moment, he opened his eyelids and looked discontentedly at Si Sha who rushed into the bedroom. His eyes darkened and he rebuked in a hoarse voice, "Si Sha, didn't I tell you that even if something big happened recently, you should not disturb me as long as I'm asleep!"
The court doctor said that his injuries were serious and if he didn't rest well, he would probably suffer from sequelae.
Si Sha knelt down beside the bed with a thump, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I have something extremely urgent to report to you!"
Murong Ye frowned, and even though he was angry, he still suppressed his temper, "What's the matter?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is here to see you!"
Murong Ye's pupils shrank, and his pale face was full of disbelief, "What did you say?"
"Ye'er!"
The next moment, a graceful and beautiful young woman walked in from outside the door.
After the young woman entered the room, she took off her valuable brocade cape, which was embroidered with intricate patterns with silver thread. The snow-white mink on the brim of her hat was soft, smooth, pure and flawless.
Murong Ye looked at the young woman's face in front of him, which was 50% similar to his own, and felt indescribably excited.
He opened his thin lips and called out in a low, hoarse voice, "Sister!"
