His voice was weak, but still contained a hint of irresistibility.
"Thank you, is there anything else?"
Xie Yunqi looked at Chu Qingluan with burning eyes, with blood still tucked into his lips, but he smiled softly, and the light mole at the end of his eye made him look even more charming.
"Since Your Highness is here, why not...stay and have a cup of tea? I have something else to ask Your Highness in person!"
Xie Yunzheng frowned; "Brother, you are injured like this——"
Xie Yunqi glanced at him indifferently, and Xie Yunzheng immediately shut up and said no more.
In the entire Xie family, Xie Yunzheng is not afraid of the old lady or his father, but he is afraid of his eldest brother Xie Yunqi.
From childhood to adulthood, every time he got into trouble, his family couldn't do anything about him, but Xie Yunqi was the only one who had a hundred ways to deal with him.
This is like blood suppression.
"If Your Highness leaves like this, rumors will spread in the capital tomorrow that the Xie family neglected the princess..."
He paused, then suddenly coughed, a trace of blood oozing from his lips, but he still forced a smile and said, "Besides, the medicine given by His Highness must be watched by Xie personally before I can feel at ease, right?"
Seeing this, the old lady immediately understood and said quickly, "Your Highness, my grandson is seriously injured. Please move to the flower hall and sit for a while. After the doctor has checked the medicine, I will personally serve tea to express my gratitude."
Chu Qingluan's eyes moved slightly, and her gaze fell on Xie Yunqi's pale face.
He was obviously extremely weak at the moment, but he insisted on dealing with himself. If he really left like this, and Xie Yunqi showed up again, it would probably be counterproductive.
"good!"
She finally responded calmly.
Xie Yunqi lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes blocked the faint light in his eyes.
Soon, Chu Qingluan walked towards the gate of Xie Mansion, but when she passed by Xie Yunqi, she saw that he was exhausted, his body swayed, and he fell straight towards Chu Qingluan.
"Brother!" Xie Yunzheng was shocked.
Chu Qingluan instinctively reached out and held him.
Xie Yunqi fell on her shoulder, his warm breath brushing gently across her neck, carrying a faint scent of medicine.
Chu Qingluan's body paused slightly, but because she was in public, she couldn't just throw the person to the ground.
"Thank you, Prime Minister?" She said in a cold tone, her fingertips touching his pulse imperceptibly.
The pulse is weak and a little disordered, which means he has lost too much blood and may faint!
She frowned and held his hand with a little more force. She was about to order the servants to come and help him, but she heard the old lady said anxiously: "Princess, please forgive me! Brother Qi'er is too seriously injured and it is really not suitable to move him. Can you please move to the inner courtyard? I will order someone to prepare tea..."
Xie Yunqi coughed at the right time, and a trace of blood flowed from his lips. He leaned weakly on her shoulder, as if he didn't even have the strength to stand.
Chu Qingluan frowned even more tightly, hesitating whether to refuse.
Xie Yunzheng watched from the side with a frown on his face. He felt something was wrong but couldn't put his finger on it for the moment.
He took a step forward and wanted to take over his brother, "Brother, let me do it——"
"Second brother." Xie Yunqi raised his eyes slightly, and said in a soft voice, "You are impatient and your hands are heavy... Let the princess do it."
Xie Yunzheng: “……?”
Chu Qingluan: “……?”
She glanced at Xie Yunqi coldly, but saw that he had his eyes closed, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and he looked extremely weak.
But the force that was tightening on her wrist was very steady, and it was clearly intentional.
Chu Qingluan understood.
The next second, her fingertips tightened slightly, and she was about to stuff the man into Xie Yunzheng's arms, but she saw Xie Yunqi's body suddenly sank again, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spit out of his mouth, staining his moon-white clothes red.
“Brother!”
"Brother Qi!"
Everyone in the Xie family panicked again and rushed forward to check, but they saw that before Xie Yunqi fainted, he still pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty: "No... leave!"
These three words seemed to have exhausted all his life's strength. His fingers tightly grasped Chu Qingluan's sleeves, and his knuckles turned white. He still stubbornly wanted to wait for an answer.
"Xie Yunqi! You--" Chu Qingluan was shocked and really didn't understand why he was so persistent.
It's clearly at the end of its strength.
"Qi Ge'er! Stop talking." The old lady couldn't bear it any longer and said with tears in her eyes, "Princess, I beg you..."
Chu Qingluan pursed her lips. She could feel that the hand that was holding her was gradually losing strength, and Xie Yunqi's body temperature was being lost along with the blood.
This madman actually dares to gamble with his own life!
"...Okay!" She finally spoke, her voice as cold as ice: "I will stay!"
Xie Yunqi's eyes were full of life again, and his fingers still refused to loosen: "Your Highness... your words are as good as gold..."
Chu Qingluan said coldly: "If you die, the promise will be void!"
Xie Yunqi closed his eyes contentedly, and whispered before his consciousness fell into darkness: "Then I... must... survive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he completely slipped and fell down.
The yard suddenly became chaotic, and several imperial doctors were scrambling to try to save the patient.
Chu Qingluan stood there, looking at the blood on her hands, her eyes deep.
After a moment, she told Zhixia: "I will stay at Xie's house, you go find Pei Yuan now and investigate the assassin."
Zhixia disagreed: "Your Highness, the Xie family is the prince's maternal family. It is too dangerous for you to stay here alone. I will go to investigate the assassin, and you must be with someone..."
"No problem!" Chu Qingluan interrupted her calmly: "Since Xie Yunqi dared to bet his life on me staying, the rest of the Xie family won't dare to act rashly. Besides, I'm not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others."
