Chapter 159 Falling
The imperial physician bandaged Xiao Chenglan's wound and tremblingly instructed, "Your Majesty, stopping the bleeding today is crucial. Your Majesty should not exert any more force on your left arm."
"I understand." Xiao Chenglan responded calmly and wiped the blood off his body with a clean handkerchief.
"Don't say a single word about my injury today. Did you hear everything?"
Those kneeling on the ground responded repeatedly: "We will obey your Majesty's orders."
Xiao Chenglan glanced at Gu Xiaoran, who was kneeling on the ground with her head down and still trembling, and said to her coldly:
"Gu Chongyuan, you should be thankful that you have a good father. Take care of yourself."
Gu Xiaoran no longer had the arrogance and complacency he had when he entered the forest.
She had just been crawling on all fours on the ground, completely humiliating herself in front of these people. The humiliation in her heart could not be expressed in a few words.
Your Majesty, is it because you don't want to tell this matter to anyone that Jiang Yingli won't worry?
Gu Xiaoran clenched her knuckles. Should she thank Jiang Yingli? With her around, more people wouldn't know about His Majesty's injury, and no more people would know about her embarrassment after her failed attempt to show off today.
However, she was actually somewhat unwilling.
Xiao Chenglan ordered the hunting team to carry the tiger out of the forest.
When the hunting team returned and saw the big tiger being carried out by eight people, they all gasped.
This is a ferocious beast. Your Majesty actually hunted such a huge creature!
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on the tiger.
Jiang Yingli was sitting in the imperial carriage and could see more clearly. There was a lot of blood on the tiger's body, which wet its fur. The yellow and white fur was stained with blood in clumps, which was very scary.
The tiger was carried to the center for display, and everyone bowed and praised His Majesty's bravery.
Xiao Chenglan pointed at the tiger and said with a smile, "Although we didn't get the marten, this skin would be great for making a beast chair for Concubine Yu."
Jiang Yingli stood up from the throne and ran all the way to Xiao Chenglan.
She ran a little fast, but Xiao Chenglan caught her and held her in his arms.
Everyone in the field lowered their eyes at the same time, not daring to look at the emperor and his concubine getting close.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Xiao Chenglan looked at Jiang Yingli's frown.
Jiang Yingli clung to him and reached out to feel his body, from his eyebrows to his thin waist.
"It doesn't matter if it's a marten or something else. If it's gone, then it's gone. Your Majesty, don't provoke such a dangerous thing. Are you hurt?"
The light in Xiao Chenglan's dark and deep eyes trembled.
He looked down at her. She leaned half of her body on him, as if he was her only support. She didn't even bother to lift her sleeves when they slipped to her elbows. She raised her fair arm, reached out to touch his wound, and looked at him with her clear eyes full of worry.
Xiao Chenglan wanted to lower his head and kiss her at an inappropriate time.
And he did just that.
After all, everyone lowered their heads and looked down, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
Xiao Chenglan grabbed Jiang Yingli's wrist and kissed the corner of her lips, his tone full of comfort: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Jiang Yingli blinked at him, and her frown finally relaxed.
"I'm glad your majesty is alright."
"Then do you want the gift I give you?"
"Yes." Jiang Yingli nodded.
The tiger was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Xiao Chenglan couldn't help but imagine making a giant animal chair, and letting the delicate beauty in his arms lie on it, her soft, white body sinking into the animal fur...
It is indeed a beautiful scenery.
"Your Majesty? What are you thinking about? You are so engrossed."
Jiang Yingli's voice brought Xiao Chenglan back to his thoughts. He hugged Jiang Yingli and patted her back gently.
"I don't think about anything. Let's go."
Xiao Chenglan stayed with Jiang Yingli the whole afternoon, inseparable from her. However, Xiao Chenglan remembered the imperial physician's instructions that he had to change the medicine at night, so he had to send Jiang Yingli away for a while.
"I have some military matters to discuss with General Gu. Please return to your room first."
"Well then, Your Majesty, please talk about the important things and don't chat." Jiang Yingli reminded him.
"I know, I will be back to accompany you soon."
Xiao Chenglan kissed Jiang Yingli between the eyebrows and asked Qiuxia and Lianqiao to send her back safely.
In the temporary government hall of the villa, Doctor Zhang reapplied medicine to Xiao Chenglan's clothes, while Wen Renyue stood by and packed his medicine box for him.
"Doctor Zhang, how many days will it take to heal a wound like this?" Xiao Chenglan asked.
"Your Majesty, your wound is not deep. If you change the dressings diligently every day, it will be completely healed in about seven days."
Xiao Chenglan frowned slightly, seven days.
Do we have to stay away from each other for seven days?
But as soon as the confusion came to his mind, he felt relieved. It was okay. He could just keep his clothes on so that she wouldn't see the bandage.
"Okay, go down." Xiao Chenglan waved to Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang nodded, carrying the medicine box and leading Wen Ren Yue out.
The autumn night was slightly chilly. Doctor Zhang looked at the white jade steps beneath his feet and suddenly felt dizzy.
"teacher!"
Wen Ren Yue's expression changed, and he quickly supported Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang blinked, and after a moment, his cloudy vision gradually became clear again.
He stood up and patted the back of Wen Renyue's hand to reassure him.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I'm old and old ailments tend to come back."
Doctor Zhang walked forward with a normal expression. He had felt dizzy and blacked out from time to time in the past, so he did not take this abnormality seriously.
Wen Ren Yue looked at his back with a complicated expression and a hint of guilt in his eyes.
The teacher taught him everything he knew, but he did something worse than pigs and dogs.
But he was destined not to be a good person like his teacher.
Just continue to degenerate and become the same person as her.
