Chapter 26 Ran Away
Ling Qingyan returned to Yaohua Palace.
The injury on her leg was not too serious, and with the help of the most precious medicinal herbs, it was almost healed in two or three days.
After Ling Qingyan recovered from her injury, she decided to leave the palace to visit Chen Mansheng.
She didn't bring Pei Wuyou with her, but took Han Qi and Xi Lan to the Duke's Mansion.
Chen Mansheng was seriously injured and barely managed to escape with his life.
She was very weak, her face was pale, she had lost a lot of weight, and her qi and blood did not seem to be in good condition.
When he saw Ling Qingyan, he forced a smile on his face.
"His Highness is here. Ahem, Biluo, serve His Highness tea."
Before Chen Mansheng's maid could move, Chen Chuo had already warmed up the tea and handed it to Ling Qingyan.
Ling Qingyan took it and took a sip.
Ling Qingyan brought many medicinal herbs from her palace to Chen Mansheng.
"How did you get assassinated, Mansheng? Have you offended anyone these days?"
"Most of the people we have offended cannot enter Qingluan Mountain. Most of the assassins in Qingluan Mountain must be heading for Prince Yong's Palace." Chen Mansheng affirmed.
The Spring Hunt is a royal event guarded by the Royal Guards, so it is impossible for anyone to get in so easily.
Those distant relatives and neighbors with ill intentions cannot enter Qingluan Mountain, and the powerful people who were offended when overturning the case are unlikely to take the risk of sending assassins into Qingluan Mountain to touch him.
The danger is too great.
So it must be heading towards Prince Yong's Palace.
Killing her would probably just be a matter of convenience.
But she couldn't guess who it was.
"Then how come you are okay?" Ling Qingyan smiled and looked at Shen Chuo.
Chen Mansheng and Shen Chuo were together. Mansheng was seriously injured, but Shen Chuo looked fine.
It's very strange.
Chen Chuo's face flushed red, as if he was extremely embarrassed and ashamed. He avoided her gaze and pursed his lips into a line.
He took a deep breath, not daring to look at Ling Qingyan, and knelt down with a plop. "Your Highness, please forgive me, because... because I ran away!"
Ling Qingyan was stunned for a moment.
"What did you say? Run...run away?" Ling Qingyan's voice suddenly rose.
"I'm sorry, sister..." Shen Chuo lowered his head and knelt in front of Ling Qingyan.
"I don't blame you. You don't have to blame yourself, Chen Chuo." Chen Mansheng said from the bed.
Chen Chuo continued to talk to himself, "Your Highness, in the past ten years, I have been in contact with beggars and ruffians. There are many bullies in the market. Those people have powerful backgrounds and many people. I am used to running away immediately when I encounter danger, but I forgot to protect my sister."
"Chen Chuo has failed to live up to your Highness's trust and failed to protect my sister. Please punish me, Your Highness!" Chen Chuo's ears were red as if they were about to bleed.
He seemed to be extremely ashamed, extremely inferior, and extremely regretful.
"Your Highness, don't blame him. He just didn't react for a moment and left subconsciously, which is human nature. But my brother finally came back to save me. Otherwise, I might really be dead."
"He is very good at martial arts, but he was also injured, but he didn't show it, so Your Highness didn't see it." Chen Mansheng explained for his half-brother.
In fact, when Chen Chuo first came to find her, her feelings towards him were complicated.
I want to hate him, but I can't, and I have no right to do so, because he is the victim.
Love, but she finds it hard to accept that he is the result of his father's mistake.
Although they are related by blood, they have no family ties.
She felt sorry for what he had gone through, but at the same time she couldn't really treat him as her brother.
I can only pretend to be calm and treat him as my own brother, giving him the compensation he deserves.
But after experiencing a life-and-death experience, she completely let down her guard against him.
She didn't blame him for subconsciously abandoning her and running away immediately. That was human nature, and no one should have saved her.
But he came back.
From that moment on, she treated him as her own brother.
Ling Qingyan indeed didn't realize that Chen Chuo was also injured.
"Master Shen is also injured? Have you asked the imperial physician to see him? Why don't you take good care of yourself?" Ling Qingyan looked at the young man kneeling in front of her, "Get up, I'm just asking, I don't mean to blame you."
Ling Qingyan hadn't meant to embarrass him, but Chen Chuo knelt down too quickly.
"I have been bullied too many times in the past. This little injury is nothing to me. I am glad that my sister is okay. My life is not as precious as yours. If something happens to my sister, I will give my life to His Highness." Chen Chuo said seriously, he looked up at Ling Qingyan.
The boy had very fair skin, his beautiful eyes were misty, his nose was high, his facial features were as clear as if carved by a knife, and there was a hint of red at the corners of his eyes.
"Don't say that. Your life is just as precious. You don't need to pay with your life. Get up." Ling Qingyan was a little anxious.
She didn't mean to think that Chen Chuo's life was less precious than Chen Mansheng's, and she didn't want to bring up his bad memories.
He is indeed pitiful. After so many years of struggling, it is normal that his first reaction is to leave, not to mention that he came back to save Mansheng.
"No, it's my fault that I didn't protect my sister." Shen Chuo's expression was full of self-blame.
He knelt on the ground, took Ling Qingyan's hand and put it on his face.
"Your Highness, please punish me."
Ling Qingyan suddenly pulled his hand back and stood up. Because he moved too quickly, he bumped into the table beside him and almost knocked over the teacup on the table.
"What are you doing?" a cold voice sounded.
Mu Xianzhi stood quietly at the door, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes sweeping with disgust at the boy on the ground and the face where the boy had just held Ling Qingyan's hand.
"Student greets the Grand Tutor." Chen Mansheng pretended to get out of bed to pay his respects.
"You're injured, so there's no need for these empty formalities." Mu Xianzhi said calmly, shifting his gaze to Ling Qingyan. "Does His Highness Tang Ning always behave like this in private?"
Mu Xianzhi's voice was light, his brows slightly furrowed, and he glanced condescendingly at Chen Chuo who was kneeling on the ground.
There was no trace of contempt in his eyes.
"No!" Ling Qingyan immediately retorted, "I don't bully people, he just misunderstood."
Ling Qingyan gave Chen Chuo a look: Get up quickly.
Chen Chuo understood the situation very cleverly. He froze in his tracks and looked at Ling Qingyan: "Your Highness, could you please help me? My legs are numb."
Ling Qingyan just wanted him to get up quickly, so she went to help him without hesitation.
The other hand with distinct joints moved before her and pulled Shen Chuo up in a not-so-gentle manner.
"Poor." Mu Xianzhi said with his thin lips without even looking at him.
Disgusting stuff.
Still want to covet treasures.
Shen Chuo tutted inwardly.
have a finger in the pie.
It really showed him.
Loading.
"Master, why are you here?"
Ling Qingyan's heart tightened slightly.
Mansheng no longer had any special connection with him, so why did he still come to the Duke's Mansion?
