Chapter 107: Rain in the Bamboo Forest, the Wounds of Yu Wan
The next day, Twelve carried Shang Yuwan out of the room.
Seeing that she was wary of him, Zhao Qinglian opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
Zhao Qinglian handed a small brocade box to Shang Yuwan. After she thanked him, Twelve carried her into the carriage and laid down.
Shang Yuwan's back was fixed with a board by the doctor because of broken ribs. In addition, she had many wounds on her body and her left calf could not move, so Zhao Qinglian specially had the carriage filled with soft cushions.
The carriage was very large and had a lot of space inside. Not only was there a cushion, but there was also a soft couch. Shang Yuwan lay down on it and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of comfort.
"Ouch......"
"What's wrong?" Twelve thought she was in pain somewhere.
"It feels a little comfortable..." It's soft everywhere.
twelve:"......"
Zhao Qinglian was wearing casual clothes, riding a horse outside, and wearing an ordinary mask.
She said calmly, "Let's go."
On the third day of Shang Yuwan and Shi Er's group's journey, a light rain began to fall.
They were passing through a bamboo forest when their way was suddenly blocked by someone.
The leader had a pair of phoenix eyes and sword-like eyebrows, and was dressed in gorgeous clothes. She was holding an umbrella alone, and on her left was a tall man wearing a white mask with tears and laughter, and on her right was a man in a purple robe. Beside them were a woman with a medicine box and a man with a missing left ear.
Water droplets fall down from the umbrella like a bead curtain.
Behind them was a group of people wearing conical hats and holding weapons in their hands.
Raindrops slid down the tip of the knife and bamboo leaves, splashing water.
It was quiet, but it made people nervous for no reason.
Zhao Qinglian raised her arm and stopped the carriage and the disguised guards behind it.
She dismounted and bowed.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess."
Without waiting for Xiao Qinggu to say anything, Twelve came out of the carriage carrying Shang Yuwan on his back.
Xiao Qinggu didn't even bother to put on airs and quickly went to greet him, "Sister-in-law... Lord Shang!"
Xiao Qingxu and Ji Suxian followed closely behind, and Yuan Ji and Lu Heying also followed.
"You...you!" Seeing that Shang Yuwan was so injured that he needed Twelve to carry him off the carriage, Xiao Qinggu turned his head and glared at Zhao Qinglian fiercely.
“You did it!!”
Zhao Qinglian said nothing and agreed.
Ji Suxian reached out to feel Shang Yuwan's pulse, then looked at other parts of her body, his expression slightly gloomy.
His ribs were broken, his internal organs were severely hit, the injuries on his lower abdomen were as severe as his ribs, his left calf was torn with blood and flesh, and there were few healthy pieces of flesh on his body, with some bruises showing through.
Xiao Qingxu silently showed some murderous intent, and Yuan Ji's expression was also very ugly.
Shang Yuwan smiled soothingly, "I'm fine, why do you have that expression?"
Ji Suxian glared at her secretly, feeling distressed and helpless.
Shang Yuwan's heart was tense, no wonder she could still smile and say it was okay. She probably didn't even realize how badly she was injured this time.
If her ribs had broken any deeper, her internal organs would have been punctured!
Xiao Qingxu suddenly looked at Twelve, "Why don't you speak?"
In the past, no matter how taciturn Twelve was, he would at least say hello so as not to be rude.
Ji Suxian's heart skipped a beat. Shang Yuwan was about to explain, but she reached out and pried open Twelve's mouth.
Twelve: "...Hum (be gentle)." It was pulled, it hurts a little.
Ji Suxian's eyes were slightly red and his brows were furrowed.
Catgut...It looked like Twelve's tongue was broken in half a few days ago and was sewn up in time.
Xiao Qinggu couldn't see Twelve's tongue, but judging from Ji Suxian's expression, he must have been seriously injured.
Her expression was gloomy, not much brighter than the gloomy sky.
"Lang Jiang, are you thinking that there's no one left in my Dayu?"
Zhao Qinglian lowered her head slightly: "I dare not."
Xiao Qinggu said angrily: "This princess thinks you are very daring!"
"Your Highness." Lu Heying also had a sullen expression, but now was not the time to argue. "We have to go first."
Shang Yuwan and Twelve are injured and need to go back to recuperate. They cannot dawdle here.
Xiao Qinggu took a deep breath, knowing that this was not the time to argue. "Go back and tell your empress that I will settle this account with her in the future."
"I will never let you succeed in your secret plan!"
Zhao Qinglian remained silent.
Xiao Qinggu, Xiao Qingxu and others escorted Shang Yuwan and Twelve away. Zhao Qinglian looked for a long time until she could no longer see even a scrap of their clothes, then she turned and left.
A sister is still a sister.
Even if you become someone else's older sister, you are still a younger sister.
Zhao Qinglian gave a wry smile beneath the mask.
Let her be.
She should be the one who decides her own life.
Xiao Qingxu and his companions had traveled day and night to catch up with Shang Yuwan, and today they temporarily stayed in a nearby town. They set off immediately after receiving the news, and asked Yuezhu and Bailipu to wait with the rest of the people in the inn.
Twelve and Ji Suxian were a little anxious, and hurried upstairs carrying Shang Yuwan on their backs. Yue Zhu heard the noise, silently opened the door a crack, and saw Twelve's face.
“…”
Twelve is still alive.
Yuezhu thought.
So has Wan'er also changed her appearance?
It seems that His Majesty's actions were not a spur-of-the-moment impulse, nor were they just a test.
He really wanted to see Wan'er.
Yue Zhu suddenly sneered at himself in his heart, then closed the door, and remained quiet without any movement.
Shang Yuwan was gently put on the bed by Twelve, Xiao Qinggu and Ji Suxian. Ji Suxian had the doors and windows closed and stripped Shang Yuwan of her clothes.
She wanted to take a closer look at what other injuries Shang Yuwan had.
His clothes were all torn off, and what came into view were numerous wounds of varying depths and traces of purple bruises.
The flesh was sewn together neatly, but it still looked hideous because of some shaking that had caused a trickle of blood to flow out.
Xiao Qinggu and Ji Suxian's faces turned pale, Twelve shed silent tears, his hands clenched tightly, his knuckles turned white.
Shang Yuwan was stripped naked and looked at like this, and smiled awkwardly: "Can you put some clothes on me? It's a bit cold..."
Ji Suxian pursed her lips and leaned over to carefully check her injuries.
Xiao Qinggu couldn't help but shed tears, and kept wiping them and crying, "Don't you know how to feel sorry for yourself?"
With hideous scars all over his body, even a man might not be able to accept it as calmly as Shang Yuwan.
Shang Yuwan smiled slightly, "Your Highness, do you know who the host and I are?"
Xiao Qinggu sniffed, "So do you want me to call you sister-in-law or Shang Yuwan from now on?"
"Anything is fine, as long as the princess is happy."
Shang Yuwan tilted her head and blinked her peach blossom eyes a few times, "But Your Highness, following me is a capital crime."
"So what?" Xiao Qinggu was amused by her appearance and almost burst into a snot bubble. "From the moment I decided to fight for the position, the guillotine was already hanging over my head, wasn't it?"
It is the unspoken rule that men from the Dayu royal family inherit the throne. In the eyes of some high-ranking officials, Xiao Qinggu's thoughts are no different from disrupting the government.
But Xiao Qinggu has come this far and will never retreat.
Ji Suxian examined Shang Yuwan's injuries and took his pulse several times.
His expression grew darker, "Where are the medicine I gave you? Where are the pills?"
The life-saving pills were all prepared by her using tonic herbs. No matter how powerful Ji Suxian was, she could only prepare ten pills, which were originally reserved for Xiao Qingxu.
She had given Shang Yuwan three pills before, but now she couldn't see any of them.
Twelve was stunned. Pills? What pills?
"It's useless even though you're injured like this... I guess you gave it all to her."
Ji Suxian looked at Twelve and stretched out her hand: "Give me your wrist, let me see it."
Twelve stepped forward and held out his hand.
Ji Suxian looked at it carefully and sighed.
"Shang Yuwan, what can I say?"
I was badly injured, and I gave all three pills to Twelve. This girl must have a nosebleed, right?
Twelve stared at Shang Yuwan in a daze.
"What did she say? What pills?"
