Chapter 242



The man in front of him was laughing in a way that was uglier than crying. Wei Hanzhang frowned slightly and said subconsciously, "Don't be like this."

She wanted to hold his hand, but he raised his arm to avoid her, and she was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Junzhan stood up, tidied himself, lowered his eyes and looked fixedly at the disheveled girl on the couch, with a dim and unclear light in his eyes.

Finally, he smiled and asked, "Can you tell me, besides saving you twice, what do you like about Chen Zishu?"

Wei Hanzhang shuddered and shook his head hastily: "I don't like him."

"Is that so?" He nodded, his tone soft, and smiled as he bent over: "So, do you think he likes you?"

Wei Hanzhang was speechless.

His eyes turned cold, his face frighteningly gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice: "Did I go too early tonight and disturb you?"

When had he ever spoken to her in such a sarcastic tone? Wei Hanzhang felt anxious and angry, and pushed him: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Are you talking nonsense? Xiao Junzhan sneered, took one last look at her, said nothing more, and turned away.

"Xiao Boqian!" Wei Hanzhang stopped him, "I don't mean to hate him, please don't implicate others because of this, okay? He just saved me. Without him, I would have died today under the attack of the man in black. You..."

Before he could finish his words, the figure in front of him had already walked out of the tent quickly.

Looking at the empty tent, Wei Hanzhang stopped talking.

Luzhu and Lulan came in quickly and were shocked to see that she looked dazed and her clothes were torn so much that she could barely cover her body. They wondered why their masters were making a fuss again.

Of course he didn't dare to ask. He gently helped her change into new pajamas and then left.

Here, as soon as Xiao Junzhan came out of the tent, he asked in a cold voice: "Where is Chen Zishu?"

Ning Hai, who was about to serve, was startled when he heard this and hurriedly led the way.

With such a big incident happening, Chen Zishu, as the person involved, certainly could not return to his own tent and was now arranged to stay in the Prince's camp.

When Xiao Junzhan entered, the imperial physician was bandaging Chen Zishu. When they saw him come in, everyone in the tent hurriedly saluted.

The candlelight in the tent was bright, but Xiao Junzhan did not shout. His eyes were fixed on Chen Zishu's naked upper body with an unfathomable expression.

With broad shoulders, narrow waist and tight abdominal muscles, he looks lean and strong.

...Is this how he appeared in front of her?

His dark eyes were filled with an intense coldness that made everyone in the tent feel a chill in their hearts, as if they were falling into an ice cellar.

After a long while, when everyone was on tenterhooks, he finally said, "Everyone, get up."

Imperial Physician Wang breathed a sigh of relief and continued with his work, standing behind Chen Zishu, holding the bandage and wrapping it around his chest and abdomen, bandaging the wound layer by layer.

Xiao Junzhan watched quietly, teeth clenched. Being stared at in such a deadly manner, Imperial Physician Wang held his breath unconsciously. After bandaging the wound, he hurriedly left.

There were only the king and his minister left in the tent.

Chen Zishu knelt on one knee without saying a word.

Xiao Junzhan did not shout at him, nor did he ask him why he was kneeling.

They both knew why.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, remained silent for a few breaths, and asked, "Did she bandage you in the same way?"

Chen Zishu said: "I am guilty."

"You are indeed guilty!" Xiao Junzhan could no longer bear it, and kicked him on the shoulder, saying hatefully, "I warned you a long time ago that no matter what you were thinking, put it away. How dare you let her bandage your wound?"

How dare you seduce that girl to change her mind! But with Xiao Junzhan's pride, how could he say this to his subjects?

Chen Zishu did not argue, but bowed his head and said, "Miss Wei is kind-hearted and could not bear to see me seriously injured and dying. It is my fault. I did not know my limits. Please punish me, Your Highness."

"It's not your turn to beg for mercy for my Crown Princess." Xiao Junzhan smiled instead of getting angry, and asked softly, "Tell me yourself, how should you punish someone who covets the mistress?"

Chen Zishu kowtowed without saying a word, waiting for his fate.

There was silence in the tent for a long time, and Xiao Junzhan looked at his bandaged back.

Because he had just kicked her, the white bandage was stained with bright red blood.

The injury is indeed serious.

Without this person's desperate protection, his Ranran would probably have died today.

In the dead silence, Xiao Junzhan said, "If you still want to sit in the position of Dali Temple Minister, you have five days to find out who is behind the murder of the Crown Princess in the enclosure."

Ten thousand soldiers searched the mountain and not only found Wei Hanzhang, but also found several black-clad assassins.

Although most of them committed suicide by taking poison on the spot, there were two who had their jaws removed and the poison pills dug out, and were caught alive.

Investigating the case was the responsibility of the Dali Temple. Chen Zishu was slightly startled, then he kowtowed deeply and accepted the order: "I obey your order."

…………

Having suffered such a great fright and being injured, Wei Hanzhang slept particularly uneasily that night.

Every time I fell asleep, I was either woken up by the pain of the wound or by a nightmare.

The last time I woke up from the nightmare in a sweat, the sky was already turning pale.

There was no sign of that man in the tent. He really had not been there all night.

She should be happy, after all, she had been avoiding him for some time and was extremely annoyed with him.

But at this moment, she not only did not feel happy, but she felt as if a cold breeze was blowing into her heart, making it feel empty.

Could it be that she fell in love with someone else, so she was no longer annoyed with him?

But why is it so uncomfortable?

... Was he angry? This question was not determined until the third day.

He was really angry.

The man who had wanted to be with her all the time before had not shown up for three consecutive days.

The hunting tour was still going on and was not interrupted because of her injury. Everyone was happily hunting in the enclosure, but she was the only one trapped in this tent, unable to move.

No one could come in except Wei Heng, Jiang Shi, and a few cousins ​​who occasionally visited her.

His sleeve was pulled, Wei Hanzhang took a deep breath, came back to his senses, and said, "What did you say?"

"I've been talking to you for so long, but you didn't listen carefully." Jiang Zhixue glanced at her and said angrily, "I'm asking, Ranran, did you have any trouble with the Crown Prince? Why did you suffer so much? He hasn't come to see you these days."

"Who knows what happened to him?" Wei Hanzhang felt a tightness in his chest and blurted out, "Who cares if he comes or not? It's just right if he doesn't come."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhixue was surprised: "Don't you like His Highness?"

"Well," Wei Hanzhang played with the jade pendant around his waist and said softly, "I don't like it."

"..." Jiang Zhixue frowned slightly, looked at her for a long time, and suddenly said: "Ranran, if you really don't like it, why don't you fulfill my wish? To be honest, I have admired His Highness for a long time, but I have never dared to tell you because I don't want our sisterly relationship to be alienated. Since you, Ranran, have no interest in His Highness, I guess you hope that he will find a new love, right?"
