Upon hearing this, Wei Yunting's expression suddenly tightened.
The Xiongnu were poor in resources but skilled in horsemanship and archery. They would randomly choose a few days to probe the border and plunder some things to take back.
He wouldn't be notified by the guards about his minor mischief.
If I tell him this time, there will definitely be a lot of people coming.
He looked at Jiang Tian, and before he could speak, Jiang Tian understood what he meant.
The soldiers throughout the city revered him as their leader; he had no choice but to go.
Jiang Tian said, "You should go quickly, but what should we do with the one in the secret room?"
Wei Yunting frowned; Xiao Sheng was indeed a problem.
He disappeared in the capital. Although he planned to fake his death to escape, as long as his body is not found, Wei Yunting will be suspected.
If Xiao Sheng is transferred out while he is ill, spies might take advantage of the situation.
Putting him in a dark room is the best solution, but it's not appropriate for Jiang Tian to live alone in the bedroom.
"I'll have Xiao Da take care of him, or you can find an excuse to go stay at a nunnery for a while?"
As soon as Wei Yunting finished speaking, Jiang Tian pinched his waist.
“Xiao Da is highly skilled in martial arts and is your most capable bodyguard. How can I feel at ease leaving him here? Besides, my unexplained departures would only arouse suspicion.”
"Let him stay in the dark room. He's been unable to move for several days due to his injuries. I've been preparing medicine for him every day and sending it over along with his food."
Wei Yunting knew she was worried about him. Although one was in a dark room and the other was in the bedroom, they were still connected, and he felt a little awkward.
The longer the two spent together, the better Jiang Tian understood his thoughts.
Wei Yunting's waist was twisted again: "What nonsense are you thinking? He won't even get up. What could possibly happen if I went out during the day?"
After thinking about it, it's true.
Wei Yunting sized up Jiang Tian. In his eyes, Jiang Tian was uniquely beautiful, but the Crown Prince had seen countless beauties, and Jiang Tian was six years older than him, so he could not possibly have any designs on her.
He let out a slow sigh; there was no better way.
Wei Yunting carefully instructed Jiang Tian: "That person is a young master raised in a wealthy family. His father only has him as his son and spoils him rotten. You just need to bring him food and medicine, and you don't need to listen to anything else."
Jiang Tian nodded: "I understand."
Just then, people outside started shouting again, so Wei Yunting could only quickly kiss Jiang Tian on the cheek and say, "I'm leaving now."
"Don't come back if you're injured," Jiang Tian said only one sentence.
Wei Yunting paused, chuckled, and then pushed open the door to leave.
Before long, Wei Yunting assembled a large number of troops and headed towards the border.
Jiang Tian had already learned from Wei Yunting's words who the spy was and who the loyal servant was.
Wei Yunting deliberately kept the spies alive in the villa to mislead the people of the capital.
She'd gotten used to it by now, after all this time.
In the eyes of those spies, Wei Yunting's mistress was just a bookworm who sat in the study from morning till night. How could they know that Jiang Tian would go out through the secret passage every day?
Jiang Tian found a trustworthy maid to prepare the medicine, took some food, and went into the dark room.
Xiao Sheng was lying down when he heard the sound. He turned his head to look and saw Jiang Tian, but his eyes showed no emotion.
Jiang Tian put down the food and medicine, and said calmly, "You heard what I and the Prince said, right? I will bring you food and medicine in the next few days."
The dark room is connected to the bedroom and is not soundproof. If it were soundproof, you wouldn't be able to hear anything happening outside, and hiding in the dark room would be a death sentence.
Therefore, the person in the dark room could hear everything that was happening outside.
Xiao Sheng naturally heard it.
He scrutinized Jiang Tian's face with his captivating eyes, his tone tinged with coldness: "Wei Yunting is afraid I have improper thoughts about you, but he's probably overthinking it. In my... home, your looks don't qualify you to be my personal maid."
Wei Yunting's words implied that he was afraid Xiao Sheng would take a liking to Jiang Tian, which really angered him.
He's always been independent and wouldn't stoop so low as to lay a hand on someone else's mistress.
Jiang Tian seemed not to hear what he said.
She put the things down and left without paying him any attention.
Seeing her leave so readily, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to serve me... this weak person, and help me drink my medicine?"
Jiang Tian didn't stop walking: "Although your injuries are serious, they don't mean you can't eat or take medicine."
Once she disappeared from sight, Xiao Sheng punched the bed.
The people Wei Yunting raised were indeed nothing special.
Thinking of his father and those nobles, Xiao Sheng's eyes twisted for a moment. He forced himself to eat, then picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp.
I thought that getting along with Jiang Tian peacefully wouldn't be too difficult.
But after only an hour, Xiao Sheng's face turned pale and then red.
His expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth and endured for half an hour before finally losing his temper.
"Where is everyone? I need to use the restroom!"
