Chapter 844 Injury (3)
She subconsciously rolled over and saw that the room was empty. There was no sign of Xie Jingxing. She was stunned for a moment before she heard a smiling voice from behind her: "Looking for me?"
Xie Jingxing came over wearing a loose middle-length shirt. No one knew where he found it. It seemed like he had just washed up, and water droplets slid down his chin to the deep part of his shirt. Shen Miao looked at him in surprise. Xie Jingxing was injured and unconscious just yesterday, but now he looked refreshed. How could he look as if he was in danger yesterday?
She asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Xie Jingxing smiled: "Of course."
Shen Miao nodded: "Sure enough, the Qi-boosting pills are effective. My cousin didn't lie to me?"
"Qi-boosting pills?" Xie Jingxing frowned: "What are they?"
"It's for women to replenish their Qi and blood," Shen Miao said calmly, "If a woman takes one pill when she has her period, her body won't feel so weak. I saw you bleed a lot last night, so I thought your Qi and blood were weak, so I gave you three pills." She smiled at Xie Jingxing and said, "You've recovered so quickly, it seems it's all thanks to this."
Xie Jingxing's smile froze.
Seeing him get humiliated, Shen Miao couldn't help but laugh inwardly. But the next moment, she couldn't laugh anymore. She only heard Xie Jingxing say leisurely, "Oh, if that's the case, consider it your reward for touching me last night."
Seeing Shen Miao stunned, Xie Jingxing smiled ambiguously: "Last night, someone was touching someone somewhere..."
Shen Miao's face turned pale, then pale to blue, and she angrily asked, "Are you awake?"
"I can't speak, but I'm still conscious." Xie Jingxing walked to the table and sat down. After washing up, he looked more and more natural, just like he was at home. He heated up another pot of tea and poured himself a cup, then looked at Shen Miao with a smile.
Shen Miao hesitated for a moment, then stood still and asked, "What's wrong with your injuries? What happened yesterday?"
"I'll do something for you." Xie Jingxing said lightly, "I'd better not go to a place like Prince Ding's Mansion next time." He stretched lazily, "Fu Xiuyi has so many tricks up his sleeve. Even I can't handle it."
“You went to Prince Ding’s Mansion?” Shen Miao’s eyes widened: “You went to the dungeon of Prince Ding’s Mansion?”
Xie Jingxing's eyes flickered. "You know quite a bit about Prince Ding's Mansion, and you even know there's a dungeon." He said, "Yes, I went for a walk last night and rescued 'your' Mr. Pei."
Shen Miao stared at him blankly.
She hadn't expected Xie Jingxing to personally rescue someone. Xie Jingxing's identity was sensitive, and Fu Xiuyi was definitely not someone to be fooled. Once Fu Xiuyi discovered the clues, Xie Jingxing would inevitably be in a lot of trouble. Shen Miao asked Xie Jingxing for help because she knew that Xie Jingxing had many talented people around him, but she hadn't expected Xie Jingxing to actually put himself in danger.
Shen Miao couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart, but if it was Prince Ding’s Mansion, Xie Jingxing’s injuries would be understandable.
Fu Xiuyi was a deeply cautious and suspicious man, and because he had countless enemies, the Ding Palace was usually as impenetrable as a fortress. As for the Ding Palace's dungeon, it held prisoners whom Fu Xiuyi considered important, mostly spies sent by the enemy or other individuals. As the place where the Ding Palace hid many secret figures, the dungeon was of paramount importance. It could be said that Fu Xiuyi devoted even more effort to protecting the dungeon than the entire Ding Palace.
Under such circumstances, it was not easy for Xie Jingxing to break into the dungeon alone and rescue someone.
Seeing Shen Miao in a daze, Xie Jingxing tilted his head, glanced at her suspiciously, and asked, “Why don’t you ask whether your Mr. Pei is alive or dead?”
