Two people fell off their horses in front of the bed
There's nowhere to escape!
He's been fooled!
Fu Jingjiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The spot where the arrow had pierced his lips was throbbing with pain. The encirclement around him was impenetrable.
Gu Yu's expression was stern. "Take him back!"
He suddenly burst into laughter, "It's not a bad deal for Qi Guanlan to be buried with me!"
Qi Guanlan's eyes were closed, and his face was as pale as paper. The two people helped him sit on the couch.
The exquisite clothes were cut to shreds, and soon the upper body was naked, with blood constantly seeping from the piercing wound, a shocking sight.
Even after the anesthetic was applied to the wound, he remained unconscious.
With a snap, half of the arrow fell to the ground.
"I want to pull it out!"
Hot blood splattered on her hands, but Wen Ruo remained motionless, staring blankly at the bite marks on Qi Guanlan's body, her expression complex.
Her former carefree and spoiled manner was vividly clear in my mind, both bright and glaring.
"When will he wake up?" Zhao Heng asked. "The princess has probably received the news and is on her way."
"He will wake up in an hour."
"Murdering a member of the royal family is a grave crime!"
Wen Ruo snapped out of her daze, biting her lower lip tightly, and wrapped his body in layers of white cloth, wrapping the cloth around his shoulders to completely cover up the unsightly marks.
Seeing her unbridled technique, Zhao Heng couldn't help but look at Master Yi and ask, "Did you teach her this?"
Mr. Yi shook his head.
Zhao Heng coughed. "Wen Ruo, did you hear that?"
“The man has been caught and his life is spared. From now on, it’s none of my business. You can take care of him.”
Wen Ruo put down her things and left without looking back.
"How is the young master?" Brother Shun stood guard outside the door, extremely anxious.
The princess is coming soon.
"Alive".
"He truly is a miracle doctor."
Wen Ruo looked into the room, frowned, and said worriedly, "It will leave a scar!"
"It's alright, my young master still has a back injury. The princess accidentally whipped him, and a piece of flesh was torn off, like a willow leaf. After that, the princess never used her full strength again."
Wen Ruo smiled faintly, "That's quite unique."
Is the mute person here?
The madam was secretly surprised. How come another one likes a mute?
"exist!"
The mute man sat obediently beside her, but it wasn't that person!
Wen Ruo could no longer deceive herself.
"Wen Ruo, the young master is calling for you!"
Wen Ruo put down her wine glass, her eyes blurry as she looked towards the door. She shook her head. "I'm drunk!"
Xiao Shun's face grew larger and larger, almost as wide as the moon. Wen Ruo chuckled softly, then covered her mouth as a familiar feeling welled up in her heart again.
"The young master is calling you!"
"I need to rest, I'm not running errands today!"
"Young Master's injuries have worsened! He kept saying he wanted to see you one last time!"
What?
Wen Ruo stood up abruptly, the heavy stool scraping across the marble floor, the harsh scratching sound shattering her worries but also bringing her back to her senses. She sat down again, "I'd better not go."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her arm. Wen Ruo clutched her arm and gave him a reproachful look. "It hurts a lot. Mr. Yi is here, the princess is here, Zhao Heng is here, and I have other things to do."
"Don't you have a conscience? Is drinking and womanizing all you do?"
"yes!"
Wen Ruo leaned against the mute man, the tacky smell of cosmetics filling her nostrils, and she frowned.
The madam said he didn't wear makeup, which meant he wasn't valued. It seems she suddenly applied so much powder that she couldn't help but sneeze.
Xiao Shun was immediately furious. He frowned and pushed the mute aside, insisting on dragging her to see Qi Guanlan.
She was dragged onto the carriage, and a cold wind seeped into the carriage through the gaps. Was Brother Xiao Shun taking revenge on her?
Wen Ruo hugged herself tightly. She didn't really want to see Qi Guanlan right now, but her body wouldn't cooperate.
After only a stick of incense had burned, she silently looked into the hall. The plaque read "Quiet and Inactive," which seemed to be his estate.
It's really quiet.
"The princess isn't here?" Knowing she had medicine on her, they still dared to bring her here.
"After the princess met the young master, she went to the Dali Temple with General Gu."
When she saw Qi Guanlan again, he was covered with a soft brocade quilt, his brows furrowed, and he was sleeping restlessly. The stove in the room was burning, dispelling the chill from her body, but the heat was showing signs of returning.
"He's not awake?"
"She woke up, changed her clothes, took her medicine, and went back to sleep."
"Didn't you say it would worsen? You're lying to me!"
Xiao Shun touched the tip of his nose and slowly retreated outside the door. The young master had told him to say so, so who would dare to disobey?
"To be honest, I didn't believe you when you said you could disguise yourself, but seeing it today, I can see you're really good at it. I'm not used to it at all. You should take off your makeup first."
She refused to take it off, and Wen Ruo turned and left.
Where to?
Qi Guanlan's weak and urgent voice rang out, and Wen Ruo's eyes welled up with tears. She sniffed lightly, surprised by her own reaction, feeling somewhat incredulous.
"If I hadn't looked for you, would you not have come tonight?"
Wen Ruo turned her back, slowly exhaled, and said in an almost indifferent tone, "Young Master, why ask a question you already know the answer to?"
"Wen Ruo, you have no heart!"
"They don't even try to coax me anymore!"
Wen Ruo: "Young Master Qi has willingly degraded himself, actually agreeing to be a mute male prostitute. Is there any need for me to coax him?"
She chuckled lightly, "If word got out, people would call me a toad trying to eat swan meat, a fool dreaming."
"I didn't learn this from you!"
"Xi You!"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Wen Ruo froze on the spot; she should have expected this.
If it weren't for going to Honghu Academy, she wouldn't have disguised herself as a courtesan and been seen by him twice. Now, her true identity is known to everyone.
"I was actually the last to discover it; even Zhao Heng knew about it before I did."
Why don't you turn around?
She was speechless.
"It's all your fault!"
What's it to me?
"If you were less capable, I wouldn't have kept you by my side."
With so many people around you, why don't you like anyone?
"If you hadn't flirted with me while drunk, I wouldn't have been interested."
Wen Ruo's body trembled. He was actually pretending to be drunk. No wonder he got angry when Miss Sun was mentioned. So that's why!
"I like you, but you're looking for someone else. I can't help it, what can I do!"
They really know how to turn the tables.
Looking at it this way, I really deserve to die!
Just as Wen Ruo placed her hand on the door knocker, Qi Guanlan's weak voice came from behind her, "Wherever you go, I'll have someone smash it!"
Even a slight gasp aggravated the wound, and the white silk robe clung to her chest, stained with traces of blood.
The two stared at each other for a long time, both stubborn and unwilling to back down first, until Qi Guanlan could no longer hold back and became furious, "I've already offered myself as a concubine, can't you turn a blind eye for the sake of my savior!"
Wen Ruo bolted the door, slowly turned around, and said, "How about I repay your life-saving grace with my body?"
Qi Guanlan was stunned, then overjoyed, "You're willing to marry me?"
So naive.
Wen Ruo: "In the martial arts world, it's known as a fleeting romance!"
Qi Guanlan was furious again, "You're just under the influence of the drug, talking about repaying me with your body, you liar."
"I closed my eyes."
Wen Ruo: "If it doesn't work, then forget it."
"Who gave permission?"
Qi Guanlan struggled to get up again, but as soon as he moved, it felt like a million ants were crawling on his chest. The pain made him pale and his brows furrowed into a small mountain.
"Don't force yourself." A hint of heartache flashed in Wen Ruo's eyes. "Why don't you let me go, and we can go our separate ways?"
"Don't even think about it!"
"If you take your medicine, I need to take it too!"
That's outrageous! Wen Ruo choked, "If you want to die, just say so. Don't die in my bed and ruin my reputation."
"I don't care, you have to take responsibility!"
"They took care of me without leaving my side for a moment until I recovered."
Wen Ruo: "I'd rather be shot by an arrow."
Maybe she won't even need the antidote. She'll accept whatever fate brings her, so why bother getting involved with this ancestor?
"I can't bear to part with it."
Wen Ruo's ears burned. He was so shameless. After the truth came out, he acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, like a rogue who dared to say anything.
There was a clattering sound at the door; Xiao Shun had obviously locked it when he left. Giving up, she brought over a chair and said sternly, "Young Master, is it alright now?"
"I want to drink water."
Wen Ruo brought the cup to his lips, and he frowned in displeasure. "Why are you standing so far away? I'm not going to eat you."
Wen Ruo: "I will."
Qi Guanlan looked at her and said, "I can!"
"But I don't want to!"
Qi Guanlan closed his eyes and said dejectedly, "Yes, you like poor people like Gu Yu, and you also like rich but weak people. I'm weak enough now, but you don't like me, even though we were together last night."
"Shut up!"
He didn't call me Qi Guanlan last night!
Qi Guanlan patted the mattress. "Why don't you lie down and give me a hug?"
"I won't hug you."
Qi Guanlan looked towards the door and said confidently, "Anyway, I'm a spoiled brat, and that's how it is now. I won't let you leave!"
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell on you?"
You can't!
Wen Ruo's expression changed slightly. Yes, she wouldn't. She still wanted to go to Honghu Academy.
But now it seems impossible to go.
Her biggest regret now is that she didn't stop Qi Guanlan from leaving the city.
Qi Guanlan reluctantly shut his mouth, and the atmosphere suddenly froze, the warm, spring-like room turning icy cold. After a long while, he said, undeterred, "I have money!"
Wen Ruo glanced at it, "I don't want to sow discord."
Everyone in the capital knows who is in charge of the Princess's residence.
Qi Guanlan was taken aback, and stammered, "My mother likes you."
"Yeah, so you can be my brother. How about we become sworn brothers today? Let me finally get on this good side. Right now, I feel like I'm about to fall off a cliff."
Qi Guanlan's eyes reddened. "Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
What do you like about me?
"You're beautiful."
Qi Guanlan stared straight at him, his burning gaze revealing a blatant greed. A faint smile played on his weak, pale face, and his dark pupils shone with an unusual light.
You're blind.
Wen Ru cursed inwardly. How could she not know what she was like? She was a 6 out of 10 in looks, a girl from a modest family.
Looking up and meeting his sincere and open gaze, Wen Ruo's heart tightened slightly. "I wasn't feeling well just now, and I spoke without thinking. Forget about it."
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
You can't reason with this kind of person.
never mind.
So what if you're attracted to someone? If you're far apart, the feelings will fade over time. Besides, it's not like there aren't precedents.
"Then say something nice so I can forget about it!"
"You're good-looking."
"What else?"
"Her face is exceptionally beautiful!"
Qi Guanlan frowned. "Only the face?"
Have you no shame?
"She looks good all over, especially her face."
Qi Guanlan's expression softened slightly.
Time passed slowly, and just as she stood up, Qi Guanlan reflexively grabbed her hand, "Don't go."
"It's just removing my makeup."
He breathed a sigh of relief. "Go quickly and come back quickly."
Wen Ruo had only been gone a moment when she returned with a long, indigo-colored hair ribbon in her hand. Qi Guanlan moved his head and frowned, saying, "Do I look ugly without my hair tied up?"
"No, close your eyes!"
Wen Ruo covered his eyes with the hairband and tied it in a tight knot. "Doesn't Young Master hate being thrown into someone's arms?"
