This is Eunuch Qi, the most respected eunuch in the palace. If anything happens to these beasts, the Emperor will definitely not forgive them.
"Quickly, everyone get moving and protect Eunuch Qi!"
Seeing this, Qi Yong said nothing more, gripped the curved sword in his hand tightly, and continued to resist.
When Jiang Nuan heard the news, her face turned pale with fright.
She stormed into the courtyard and yelled, "Huang Xiaoliu, hurry up and save people! If anything happens, I'll break your legs!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoliu, who was still sulking, didn't dare to delay and ran out immediately.
Fearing things would get out of control, Jiang Nuan grabbed a large knife and ran out after them.
Xiao Liu arrived relatively quickly.
Although both sides suffered injuries, no one lost their life.
When Jiang Nuan arrived, Xiao Liu was beating up the wild beasts, beating them to death.
"Qi Yong, are you alright? How about everyone else? Are there any casualties?"
"Are these ferocious beasts kept by the Lady Protector of the Nation?" Qi Yong's face was very ugly. "The Lady is exceptionally capable, but she cannot allow them to harm people at will."
Jiang Nuan's face also looked very pale.
She never expected that such a big problem would arise in such a short time.
"Go back and treat your wound first, I'll explain later."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yong pursed his lips and nodded, "Follow me into the Huang residence and get your wounds treated first."
After everyone left with Butler Cao, Jiang Nuan looked coldly at Huang Xiaoliu and said, "Since you've already made up your mind, don't come back."
She could tolerate Huang Xiaoliu's antics time and time again, but she would never allow him to outwardly comply while inwardly disobeying her.
If they had followed his advice to drive away these wild beasts, none of this would have happened.
Thankfully no one died, otherwise...
Just thinking about it made Jiang Nuan feel heavy-hearted.
It's all her fault for spoiling Huang Xiaoliu too much, which led to this incident.
In the end, it was because she was too arrogant. She always unconsciously treated Xiao Liu as a person and always thought that it would listen to her.
Closing her eyes and concealing the disappointment within, Jiang Nuan said coldly, "Go, take them with you."
Moo!
Huang Xiaoliu was extremely uneasy.
Although they didn't understand why their owner suddenly said that, they could sense the seriousness in his tone.
Immediately, they felt at a loss.
Moo!
Why?
Huang Xiaoliu's mooing became dejected.
“You’ve grown up and have your own ideas, which is a good thing,” Jiang Nuan said in a deep voice, “and it’s time for you to leave.”
Moo!
don't want.
Its huge, bull-like eyes were filled with pleading.
It doesn't want to leave, it really doesn't want to leave.
This is its home; whether it lives or dies, it will stay here.
"I told you before that living in human society means following human rules. If you don't understand, then just listen to me. How did you do that?"
Jiang Nuan felt extremely upset.
"Relying on his superhuman strength, he acted recklessly, first injuring people twice, and this time attracting a ferocious beast, almost causing a major disaster."
With her eyes closed, Jiang Nuanxin said wearily, "Once is one time, twice is another, but not a third. Since I can't control you, I can't keep you here any longer."
Jiang Nuan made up her mind to teach Huang Xiaoliu a lesson.
This is the last chance. If I can't seize it, I won't let it go any further, even if I'm reluctant to.
Moo!
Huang Xiaoliu was terrified.
She kept whimpering softly, trying to beg Jiang Nuan to change her mind.
Having made up her mind, Jiang Nuan ignored its pleas, turned around and left, and had the door closed.
"Madam, are you really not going to let the Sixth Young Master go home?"
"Okay, none of you should interfere."
"Actually, it can't be entirely blamed on Sixth Young Master. Those wild beasts were too ferocious; it had nothing to do with Sixth Young Master..."
"Shut up and guard the door."
"Your humble servant obeys."
The servant glanced sympathetically at the door, then slammed it shut.
He was actually scared afterwards.
He secretly took his anger out on Huang Xiaoliu.
But seeing the once arrogant Niu trying so hard to please his wife, he couldn't help but soften his heart.
"It's all those damned beasts' fault, why did they have to bite people for no reason? And Eunuch Qi, couldn't you have come at a different time?"
After the door was completely closed, Xiao Liu lay down beside it dejectedly, his wet eyes staring intently at the door without blinking.
His eyes were persistent and resolute.
The wild beasts behind it huddled close behind, showing no sign of ferocity or menacingness, but rather a strange kind of docility.
When Jiang Nuan arrived, Doctor Gu was taking someone's pulse.
"It's nothing serious, just skin and flesh. Apply some medicine and drink a few bowls of herbal soup and it will be fine."
After a pause, Doctor Gu asked in confusion, "Did you encounter a pack of wolves?"
"And there are bears and tigers."
"This?" Doctor Gu instinctively turned to Jiang Nuan. "Madam, what's going on?"
"The wild animals that Xiao Liu brought back before weren't very human-like, and they hurt them."
"Inhuman?" Doctor Gu shook his head. "I don't think so."
"Doctor Gu, didn't you see the injury on my arm? Why are you speaking up for a bunch of beasts?"
Qi Yong was furious.
As the most trusted eunuch by the emperor's side, his skin was extremely delicate, and even his rouge and face powder were used by the concubines in the harem.
I haven't been injured in a long time.
Not to mention the several bloody claw marks left on his arm.
I'm tempted to slaughter the wolf and eat its flesh.
"Whose fault is it that you came here without warning?" Doctor Gu sneered. "Even a dog knows to wag its tail and bark at strangers, let alone these wild beasts."
As a physician, Dr. Gu was very different from others. He always believed that all things had spirits, especially the wild beasts that lived deep in the mountains.
These intelligent animals are fiercely loyal to love and hate. Hatred can be etched into their bones and passed down through generations, while they will generously express their kindness to those they have helped.
Doctor Gu's words startled Qi Yong. "So you're blaming me for coming over?"
"I never said that, but..."
He then changed the subject, saying, "If these wild beasts were to truly unleash their ferocity, they would certainly not allow you to suffer only these superficial injuries."
Not to mention tigers and black bears, a pack of wolves alone could tear a person apart.
"This..." Qi Yong's eyes became hesitant. "You're not trying to fool me, are you?"
He didn't know whether he should believe Doctor Gu's words.
It's clearly fallacious reasoning, yet it inexplicably makes people want to believe it.
"To fool you," Doctor Gu smirked, "is it necessary?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yong fell silent.
There's really no need for that.
Even Qi Yong doesn't have that qualification.
Leaving aside their superb medical skills, their experience spanning three dynasties is something I can't compare to.
"No matter what, it's all because of my negligence," Jiang Nuan said slowly, "that you've all been implicated."
These words made Qi Yong blush.
I feel embarrassed just thinking about how I confronted him before.
“Madam, you are too kind. We were the ones who were in the wrong first, but it’s nothing serious. You don’t need to blame yourself.”
He really made a stupid mistake.
He clearly had something to ask of her, yet he dared to blame Lady Jiang. If she threw a tantrum because of this, he would become a sinner of the Great Zhou.
The more Qi Yong thought about it, the more he regretted his impulsive actions.
