Chapter 206 Do me another favor
Nan Zheng and Yan Haochu were shocked and rushed over together, but it was too late.
But Yun Qingqing reacted faster. She immediately moved aside and grabbed the wrist of the attacker. With a little force, the hairpin with a shiny tip in her hand fell to the ground.
Her attacker was a girl of similar age, who groaned in pain at her wrist.
"Let me go! You beasts..." He struggled violently to pull his hand free, shouting and cursing at the top of his lungs.
She found that she was unable to shake the hand that was holding her at all, and with hatred in her eyes she bit Yun Qingqing's wrist hard.
“Madam!” Nan Zheng gasped as he watched blood flow from her wrist. He was so anxious that he drew his sword and said, “Someone, protect Madam and take down this assassin!”
"Stop!" Yun Qingqing shouted to stop him and put the torch in his left hand into Nan Zheng's hand.
"Where are the assassins? Look carefully, there are only victims here! Everyone stay where you are and do not move without my permission!"
As she spoke, she gently clamped the girl's other hand that was holding her arm, and whispered softly in her ear:
"Don't be afraid, you are saved."
The girl shuddered, the redness in her eyes faded away, and the strength of her teeth loosened a little, but her whole body remained tense.
Yun Qingqing said again:
"Don't worry, no one will hurt you again."
The girl finally let go, looked up at her in a daze for a moment, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she leaned on her weakly and burst into tears.
Yun Qingqing patted her back soothingly, then looked at the dozen girls who had stood up with hope on their faces, and nodded to them:
"We are from the government. The criminals have been brought to justice. It's getting late today. Someone will come to pick you up tomorrow."
Although everyone except Yan Haochu was from the palace, she found it too troublesome to explain, so she simply said they were all from the government.
The girls cried with joy and expressed their gratitude profusely.
Nan Zheng finally received the order and arranged for people to bring the people out and start to deal with the aftermath.
"Madam, you'd better bandage your wrist quickly." Nan Zheng said with a frown.
Looking at the two bleeding teeth bitten on the wrist of his own princess, he was speechless and choked with anger, complaining in his heart that he would be deducted money again this month.
The girl in Yun Qingqing's arms trembled, raised her head and glanced at her wrist timidly, and whispered:
"I'm sorry... Can I bandage you?"
Yun Qingqing smiled gently and was about to say yes, but suddenly a cold voice came from the side:
"I'll bandage it."
She turned around blankly and saw Xiao Changheng in a black robe sitting on a sedan chair. His face, half bright and half dark in the firelight, was cold.
"…Why are you here?"
Xiao Changheng did not answer her question. He made a gesture expressionlessly, and the sedan chair was carried in front of Yun Qingqing.
He stretched out his long arm and pulled her in front of him. He grasped her wrist with his big hand, frowned and looked at her carefully. The air pressure around him became increasingly low.
Yun Qingqing pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and said calmly:
"It's just a minor injury. This girl can bandage it for me."
The girl's eyes were bright and she was about to nod, but she saw the man looking at her coldly. His handsome face made her shudder.
She shuddered and took a few steps back:
"Let's...let this young master come..."
"Did you hear that?" Xiao Changheng's expression eased a little and he glanced at Yun Qingqing indifferently.
Before she could say anything else, she felt her body lighten and Xiao Changheng grabbed her knees and carried her sideways.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Yun Qingqing glared.
"Find a clean room and heal your wounds!"
Xiao Changheng didn't give her any chance to refuse and directly ordered his servants to carry the sedan chair and leave.
Yun Qingqing: ...
It is outrageous that two people are forced to sit on and hold another person in a light sedan chair carried by two people.
She gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Changheng's cold face. After thinking it over, she decided not to object, otherwise this man might do something in public.
Nan Zheng quickly found a clean room and fetched some clean water from a well.
Inside the room, Xiao Changheng said nothing as he carefully cleaned Yun Qing's wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it.
Yun Qingqing looked at it quietly for a while, and suddenly frowned.
Although she didn't say a word, Xiao Changheng's hand paused, raised his eyes and said carefully:
"Did it hurt you?"
Yun Qingqing was stunned, shook her head, and still looked at him with a frown:
"You didn't take a long enough bath today."
"Oh." Xiao Changheng lowered his head and continued to bandage the wound, saying calmly, "How can I stay here and do nothing when you come to this bandit's lair without saying a word?"
"What are you worried about? You know I'll be fine." Yun Qingqing's voice was a little cold.
Xiao Changheng carefully wrapped the last circle of braid and patiently tied a bow before he raised his head and looked straight at her.
He said word by word:
"No, I don't know."
Yun Qingqing clenched her fists slightly and looked at him with a cold expression.
Xiao Changheng looked back with deep eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of indescribable emotion in his voice.
"I'm just an ordinary person. I don't know how to tell fortunes or perform strange magic. I only know that even the most powerful people have weaknesses and can get hurt."
"..." Yun Qingqing curled her fingertips and her eyes fell on the wound that had just been bandaged.
She felt that this was not the case. Her injury was obviously nothing, but she was indeed injured, and she could not refute it.
"Qingqing," the man's voice suddenly came closer.
Yun Qingqing looked up and saw him leaning towards her, speaking in a low voice with a hint of hoarseness:
"I'm just an ordinary person...who worries about the person I love getting in danger or getting hurt."
"..." Yun Qingqing paused for a moment and stared at him in silence for a long while.
Xiao Changheng looked at her quietly, his eyes so deep that they seemed to be dripping with tears.
He secretly clenched his fists and slowly leaned towards her, getting closer and closer.
Breathing can be heard.
Yun Qingqing stood up suddenly, and the chair fell to the ground with a clang.
Xiao Changheng froze in his tracks, lowered his eyes and remained motionless, trying hard to suppress the disappointment and hurt in his eyes.
The clear light in Yun Qingqing's eyes flowed uncontrollably as she looked at the bright red line of cause and effect between the two of them, her brows furrowed more and more.
She thought that if she could heal his leg quickly, this cause and effect would be resolved, but this line kept reminding her that things were becoming more and more complicated.
After a while, she closed her eyes, performed a heart-clearing spell, and slowly exhaled.
When she opened her eyes again, her vision had returned to clarity.
Yun Qingqing took a step forward, reached out her hand, touched his cheek, and gently held it up.
She spoke softly:
"Xiao Changheng, if you are really worried about me, would you be willing to help me again?"
Xiao Changheng's heart skipped a beat and he looked up at her, his eyes flashing as if he had a thousand words to say.
