The Imperial Master wore a jade mask, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.
Nangong Yi looked into those eyes for a moment, and suddenly had the illusion that he was being seen through.
He was on high alert, and the more danger he felt, the more he looked. The Imperial Preceptor bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the Imperial Concubine?"
Nangong Yi raised his eyebrows: "Are you concerned about the imperial concubine?"
Somehow these words have a sour taste.
The Imperial Master had a blank expression on his face. Of course, he couldn't see any expression on his face. "The Imperial Concubine is injured. As a subject, I naturally care about her."
Nangong Yi snorted meaningfully, then turned to look at the others. All the concubines looked concerned, as if the person lying inside was really their own sister. Only one person had a cold expression.
He looked closely and saw that it was Xiao Feiyan.
She was standing at the back, and because of her tall stature, she was not blocked, so Nangong Yi saw her at a glance. He felt a little guilty for some reason, and subconsciously moved his eyes away, but the next moment he moved his eyes back, "You guys were also frightened tonight. If you have nothing to do, go back to the palace and rest, don't wander around."
"yes."
This was what the other concubines were waiting for. At Nangong Yi's command, they bowed and left, not wanting to stay here any longer.
Only Xiao Feiyan stood there hesitating for a moment, subconsciously wanting to move forward, but was supported by Lian Xiu.
"My Lady, now is not the time to talk. Even if you have many doubts in your heart, you can't ask now. You should go back first."
Xiao Feiyan looked at her, was silent for a moment, pursed her lips, looked at Nangong Yi deeply, and left reluctantly.
As soon as she left, Nangong Yi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the Duke of Zhenguo, saying, "Don't worry, my dear. The imperial concubine is fine now. She is under the care of the imperial physician and will be fine after some rest."
The Duke of Zhenguo was extremely upset, but he had to put on a relieved expression on his face, "That's good, that's good."
"Speaking of which, the noble concubine has done a great service in saving the emperor this time. I am very pleased. When the noble concubine recovers, I will definitely reward her handsomely."
The Duke of Zhenguo hesitated and was about to kneel down, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of the Imperial Concubine."
Nangong Yi hurriedly reached out to help him up, "Please excuse the formalities, Duke. It's getting late. I'll have someone escort you out of the palace. It's safer to go back early."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Duke of Zhenguo stood up immediately.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo didn't have such good acting skills, so she was holding Lan Ruo's hand from behind the whole time.
Nangong Yi selected a few more people and asked them to assist in investigating the assassination and give him a result within three days.
After a lot of beatings, they were finally allowed to leave.
A wonderful birthday party ended in a bad mood, and everyone felt heavy in their hearts.
He was in high spirits when he came and looked tense when he left.
…
The Duke of Zhenguo and his family got on a carriage and were heading back. When they turned a corner, they saw a carriage parked in front of them, blocking their way. The coachman said something to the Duke of Zhenguo, who lifted the curtain and looked out. He saw that the curtain of the carriage opposite was also lifted, revealing the mask of the Imperial Master.
The Duke of Zhenguo narrowed his eyes and said to the driver, "Make way."
"Yes." The coachman responded and the carriage pulled to the side.
The carriage opposite started moving, and when the two carriages were side by side, they stopped again. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the Imperial Master sat by the window and said softly, "Duke."
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at him and asked, "What are your instructions, Imperial Master?"
"The first step of the plan has been completed. Please be patient. The imperial concubine asked me to bring you a message."
The Duke of Zhenguo's eyes widened slightly, "What?"
"The Imperial Concubine told you not to worry, she's fine, just leave the rest to her, you've done a great job."
The Imperial Master's voice was flat, but it still made the Duke's eyes red. He didn't say anything, but just bowed to the Imperial Master.
The Imperial Master nodded and lowered the curtains.
The carriage continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
The two cars passed each other and headed in different directions.
…
When Lan Shuang woke up again, she saw Nangong Yi sitting beside the bed, holding a bowl of medicine and looking at her lovingly. Lan Shuang paused and almost fainted again.
888 was puzzled: "Host, what are you doing?"
Lan Shuang said weakly, "I woke up too fast and saw something unlucky."
888: "...Host, wake up. It's time to take your medicine."
Lan Shuang: “…”
She closed her eyes again, and when she opened them again, Nangong Yi was still there. She sighed resignedly, "Your Majesty, have you been here guarding me all this time?"
Nangong Yi shook his head: "I just went to deal with the assassin. When I came back, I saw Zhishu coming in with medicine, so I came over."
"Come, get up and drink the medicine before going to sleep."
As he said this, he was about to help Lan Shuang up. Lan Shuang struggled to sit up, her shoulders throbbing with pain. She frowned but said nothing.
Nangong Yi said distressedly when he saw this: "If it hurts, just scream, it's okay."
Lan Shuang shook her head: "Your Majesty is here, I cannot lose my composure."
"Why?" Nangong Yi asked in confusion.
Lan Shuang looked at him shyly, as if in a coquettish tone, and said, "Who doesn't want to show their best side in front of their loved one? I don't want Your Majesty to see me lose my composure, for fear that you will no longer love me."
"How could that be?" Nangong Yi laughed, raised his hand to tuck her hair behind her ears, and said affectionately: "No matter what you look like, I still love you the same."
"Really?" Lan Shuang lowered her eyes, hiding the dim light in them. "This is what His Majesty said. Don't regret it."
Nangong Yi inexplicably felt a chill on his back, but the feeling only lasted for a moment, so he ignored it and blew on the medicine bowl. "The thing I regret least in my life is loving you."
Lan Shuang smiled, "Your Majesty is so kind."
She turned around and vomited in her heart, "Ugh..."
888: “…”
"Did you record what the scum just said?"
Lan Shuang rubbed her hands together, "When the final hunting moment begins, I'm going to play it all over again and slap him in the face with every word."
"It's recorded." 888 was also a little excited as he watched the video playback.
"Well, you are indeed Xiao Baba."
Lan Shuang looked at the medicine that was brought to her lips and asked, "Is there something wrong with this medicine?"
"No, host. This is a new medicine developed by the Imperial Hospital. Don't worry about drinking it."
"That's good."
Lan Shuang opened her mouth and drank the medicine without worry, naturally enjoying Nangong Yi's service.
Who injured her arm?
After drinking the Yaolan Frost, her eyelids began to feel heavy again, so she simply closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Nangong Yi didn't leave in a hurry. He sat by the bed for a long time, carefully tracing Lan Shuang's eyebrows and eyes with his eyes.
Because of prejudice and various other reasons, he had never looked at her seriously before. Now that he saw her beauty under the light, he realized what he had missed.
His concubine was really beautiful, a beauty completely different from Xiao Feiyan's.
Even their personalities are completely different, but he still feels pity for them.
Thinking of Xiao Feiyan's eyes before she left, he sighed helplessly, covered Lan Shuang with the quilt, and got up to leave.
