"Put out the fire..."
"Get some water..."
"quick……"
All the sounds gradually faded away and became inaudible. When Chu Li regained consciousness, he was lying on a soft bed. His eyes were burning and everything was dark.
Is it dark?
“Someone come… Ahem!”
Her throat was hoarse and burning, and she could hardly speak.
Where is this?
Why don't you light candles?
She endured the pain and struggled to get up.
"Ninth Prince, be careful!" A maid suddenly rushed into the room, threw the tray and medicine bowl aside, and quickly supported Chu Li.
I almost fell off the bed.
Bai Jinyi followed behind him, and when he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, he saw Chu Dichi raise his fingertips.
He understood and shut his mouth, and walked with him to the low table beside the window and sat cross-legged.
"Where is this?"
The maid first looked at the regent, then said, "This is the infirmary. I am a doctor. Ninth Prince, your eyes were burned by the fire. I have applied medicine, but you need to cover them with gauze for another three days."
"Let me help you lie down."
Chu Li's heart tightened, and he felt a sharp pain in his eyes. He couldn't see any light at all. "Am I blind?"
The maid looked at Bai Jinyi and said:
"No, I'm giving you the best medicine."
"really?"
"Don't worry."
Bai Jinyi chuckled secretly.
Now I'm worried about becoming blind.
When he rushed into the fire, he looked so determined, how could he not be afraid?
He shook his head in amusement and was about to make a joke, but he caught a glimpse of Chu Dichi's particularly gloomy eyes, which were like a whirlwind and frightening. The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back silently.
Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief, touched the edge of the bed, and carefully sat down on the headboard.
The pain in my body is not as great as the pain in my eyes.
At that time, she was covered with a wet quilt to protect her body, but her eyes were accidentally burned by the heat wave.
"How is the situation at the General's Mansion?"
The maid said, "The fire has been put out. I heard that several servants died. The Dali Temple investigated and said that the fire was caused by a servant in the kitchen who accidentally leaked water while cooking."
If there is a fire in the kitchen, how could it spread to the backyard?
Besides, even if the fire breaks out, it will take time for it to burn out slowly, and this period of time is enough for everyone to escape.
Qin Muyu was clearly drugged and knocked unconscious in the fire.
The other party came well prepared, so the Dali Temple probably won’t be able to find out anything.
"How is General Qin?"
"Don't worry, Ninth Prince. The general's wife, young master, and young lady were only burned. They are all recuperating in the clinic."
Chu Li was about to stand up, "Help me go take a look."
"Ninth Prince!"
The maid immediately pressed the back of her hand gently, "Your eyes need to rest, it's best to close them. General Qin is not in danger of death. When he wakes up, he will come to see you."
This is the Coral Waterside Pavilion, not a medical clinic.
She cleverly changed the subject:
"I heard that the Ninth Prince threw himself into the fire to save General Qin. Many people saw it and said that you two are friends for life and death."
Chu Li's emotions calmed down a little, "I didn't think so much at the time."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Afraid.
We only have one life, who wouldn’t be afraid?
"But when I think about how good he was to me, I'm not afraid anymore. If I watched him die in there, I would be even more scared."
The maid tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Is it good enough to entrust your life to me?"
"Um."
Chu Li answered without any hesitation.
"When I was little, I loved to play. When I was only three or four years old, I followed my uncle Xiaoyao to play outside the city. I rolled down the mountain and broke my leg. If he hadn't carried me back, I would have died in the mountain."
Uncle Xiaoyao is the current King Xiaoyao, the half-brother of the Emperor of Chu. Because he is free and easy by nature and does not fight or compete, since the Emperor of Chu ascended the throne, he asked for a fiefdom, stayed away from power struggles and right and wrong, and protected himself.
“There were still wolves in the mountains at that time.”
"He was bitten by a wolf while protecting me."
The maid said, "The Ninth Prince only remembered this incident when he was only three or four years old so clearly?"
“Although I once fell off a roof and hit my head when I was a kid, this is the only thing I remember clearly.”
"It seems that the Ninth Prince not only has poor eyesight, but also has a broken head."
When the man raised his steady and cold voice, the whole room seemed to be invaded by his voice, which was impossible to ignore. It also made Chu Li's expression change drastically. He grabbed the quilt tightly, but was at a loss as to where to go.
She can't see.
How could he be here!
Bai Jinyi stood up immediately, "Don't be angry, she is still injured."
"go out."
The maid stepped aside.
Bai Jinyi warned, "Don't shed tears, or you might go blind."
The sound of a door closing.
Chu Li curled up and hid in the corner of the bed. She could not see with her eyes, but her body's senses were magnified several times. Any sound made her nervous.
This is not a clinic!
Chu Dichi walked towards her.
She tensed up, "You, why are you here? Where is Qin Muyu?"
"Dead."
She was slightly angry: "I have no grudge against you, why are you targeting me? I don't think I have ever provoked you!"
"If I were targeting you, would you still be able to lie here peacefully?" Chu Dichi brushed aside his robe and sat on the edge of the bed. The cold breath was extremely aggressive, making Chu Li extremely nervous.
"Then let me go."
"Did the king tie you up?"
Chu Li clenched her hands, roughly guessed the location of the edge of the bed, and wanted to get out of bed, but she tripped over something and fell into the man's cold chest.
“Hmm!”
She hurriedly climbed out and jumped off the bed using her hands and feet.
He got up in a panic and wanted to go out, but he bumped into the stools and the table, and stretched his hands to grope around in the room in vain.
It hurt so much and I desperately wanted to escape.
Chu Dichi sat on the bed, picked up the gauze on the low table, and wrapped it around the burn on the back of his hand. "I didn't see you being so scared when you rushed into the fire."
Chu Li fumbled around in panic, "The friendship between Qin Muyu and I is naturally not something the emperor's uncle can understand."
"Your brain-smashing youthful love?"
His tone was sarcastic.
Chu Li felt a little humiliated. He had heard her entire conversation with the maid just now, but so what?
"Qin Muyu and I are aboveboard."
She said seriously:
"I'm afraid that my uncle has never been firmly chosen by someone, so he naturally cannot understand this kind of friendship."
Chu Dichi paused for a moment, his eyes dark as clouds, and he suddenly tore off the gauze and held it in his palm, "It seems that you are very sure that he will firmly choose you."
Chu Li heard approaching footsteps.
She stepped back, bumped into the corner of the table, and was grabbed by the man's big hands.
“What are you doing!?”
The man tore off the blood-stained gauze, wrapped her hands around it, and tied them to the windowsill.
"Chu Dichi..."
He held her and sat her on the windowsill, clasping his hands high, and said, "Since you trust him so much, he won't mind even if you lose your virginity, what do you think?"
Chu Li pushed him away with force, and behind him was a hanging window.
She would rather fall out.
But the man's voice filled my ears like a spell:
"This is the hospital."
"Qin Muyu is lying next to you, do you want to lure him over here?"
