Even though Niu Jiuhua was injured, she still wanted to take care of Xiao Jingyi. She followed him all the way into his residence and wanted to lift his clothes to see his injuries, but was stopped by the servants. Soon the imperial physician Ning Can arrived and quickly treated Xiao Jingyi's injuries.
Niu Jiuhua was not involved in applying medicine or bandaging the wound from beginning to end.
In the end, the guards drove Niu Jiuhua out.
Niu Jiuhua was anxious: "Why are you stopping me? I want to take care of him."
The guard said expressionlessly, "The prince has his own care from us, and there is no need for you, young lady. You and the prince are not related, and there is a difference between men and women. Please respect yourself, young lady."
Niu Jiuhua was extremely angry, but she couldn't bear to leave, so she could only sulk at the door.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingyi woke up after a while and asked someone to summon her in.
Niu Jiuhua was overjoyed and hurried in. Seeing Xiao Jingyi wrapped in bandages all over his body, she felt extremely distressed.
"Does it hurt? Isn't the emperor your sister? Why did she hit you?"
Xiao Jingyi's face was pale and his expression was cold: "Because she is the emperor, the imperial power is majestic and cannot be desecrated."
Niu Jiuhua obviously didn't understand, and she thought she was very righteous and spoke up for Xiao Jingyiming: "Even if she is the emperor, she is still your biological sister. How can a biological sister beat her own brother like this?"
She was still confused: "Isn't it said that family inheritance is passed down to males and not females? Why did the throne go to your sister and not to you? You are the one who should be the emperor."
Xiao Jingyi's heart stopped for a moment. Niu Jiuhua was afraid that he would not die.
He closed his eyes deeply and did not argue with the ignorant people about this issue: "Didn't you say there was news about your father? Where is he?"
Niu Jiuhua: "I met an uncle from Tianhu Village. He said my father came back to look for me, but later went south with a knife on his back."
She was also very considerate: "My father can take care of himself, don't worry, just heal your injury first."
Xiao Jingyi's injury can't be healed at all.
Niu Jiuhua ran back to the Empress's banquet because of this unimportant news and almost lost his life.
Xiao Jingyi felt that he was stupid. Why should he save her? He should just let her die at the hands of the Silver Armor Guards.
"Someone come."
Xiao Jingyi called his people, took out the token, and arranged ten people to escort Niu Jiuhua to find her father.
Niu Jiuhua was shocked: "You won't come with me?"
Xiao Jingyi: "When did I ever say I would go with you?"
Niu Jiuhua said angrily, "I personally saved you and took care of you, and you just sent me to be a servant?"
What answered her was Xiao Jingyi's sword on her neck, even though he was enduring the pain.
He didn't hide the disgust and indifference in his eyes. "Niu Jiuhua, you saved my life, but I'm not useless. I could have saved myself. There are also Silver Armored Guards around looking for me. Without you, I wouldn't necessarily be dead."
"We both know why you saved me. I don't want to delve into it. I'll just consider it a favor. I can give you money or a house, but you're too greedy."
"This king is not an object, and I will not repay a favor with my body and heart."
"I don't like you, and I won't marry you. If you continue to pester me, I won't mind being an ungrateful person."
Niu Jiuhua burst into tears, unable to accept his ruthlessness.
Seeing Xiao Jingyi turning away and unwilling to look at her, Niu Jiuhua collapsed and screamed hysterically: "You just dislike my ugliness. If I were good-looking, you wouldn't be so ruthless."
Niu Jiuhua left again, and this time still did not take any money from Xiao Jingyi.
Xiao Jingyi was not moved by Niu Jiuhua's "nobility". He just felt that he was a little ridiculous. He was not a good person, but he was forced to such a point because of this life-saving favor.
In the ten days since he came back, he has become extremely aware of his current insignificance.
Before, the imperial sister drove him out and asked him to patrol the city with the Silver-Armored Guards. Although he could not go back and suffered hardships, he had power. Wherever he went, the Silver-Armored Guards led the way, so the officials welcomed him respectfully.
Although the Silver Armor Guards imposed many restrictions on him, he had the power and dignity of a prince.
But now he is back. He no longer needs to patrol the city. Without the silver-armored guards and the empress's golden order, he is just an ordinary prince.
They cannot participate in political affairs and have no power.
The imperial sister never keeps useless people around her. She will not give him any power or wealth just because he is her only remaining brother. Everything depends on him to fight for it himself.
He had no ambition for the throne, especially after his sister ascended the throne, he only wanted to be a King of Wei, but not an idle prince, but a prince who could hold power and be seen by his sister.
Niu Jiuhua saved his life, but to be frank and ruthless, she was attracted by his looks and power, and she coveted everything he had.
Perhaps it was because after his sister ascended the throne, the other royal family members no longer posed a threat to him, which made him become kind and ignorant.
If it were before, he would have dealt with such a person long ago.
During today's beating, the imperial sister was as ruthless as ever, but he was also grateful for this beating, which made him completely sober.
----------
The banquet went smoothly without any incidents. Xiao Li drank several glasses of wine, got a little tipsy, and was in a good mood.
After leaving the party, I returned to my residence, strolled along the corridor, and let the night breeze blow on me.
A slender figure approached from the opposite side of the corridor. Upon seeing Xiao Li, he immediately bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty."
Xiao Li glanced at him indifferently and was about to walk past him, but suddenly turned back: "Huh? Chu Yungui?"
The cold-faced cool man nodded slightly: "It is you, my humble servant."
Chu Yungui still liked black clothes, but not the cloth clothes as before, but plain brocade, which was well-cut and had a lustrous texture. His hair was neatly tied up, and without the heavy scarf, his whole face was exposed.
He has sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, dark black pupils, a handsome face, and an upright posture. He is like a sword about to leave the body, with a cold and sharp edge faintly permeating the air.
What a handsome and cool guy! However, he is not pretending to be cool, he is simply suffering from social anxiety.
There is a kind of...contrast cuteness.
Xiao Li is a woman with a bad temper. After drinking, she has no idea how to restrain herself.
She beckoned to Chu Yungui: "Come here."
The socially anxious general took two steps forward obediently, then placed a hand on his face and gently stroked it with his fingertips.
A sweet fragrance greeted my nose, and a playful voice said, "Hey, it's hot. Seeing you have a cold face all day, I thought your face was cold too, but it turns out it's not."
It was more than just not cold. The originally cold and white skin gradually became hot, and finally turned red as shrimp, all the way from the eyes to the neck and ears.
Directly perform a familiarity on the spot.
Xiao Li was stunned for a second, then burst into laughter without mercy: "Hahahaha."
When Chu Yungui was about to flee in shame, Xiao Li pushed him against the corridor railing, then held him against it with his hands, leaning forward and leaning in close, saying in a domineering and evil tone, "Young General, such innocence is unacceptable. With such an obvious weakness, you might die without even knowing it."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and the fragrance disappeared in the wind. Just by looking at her leisurely back, you could tell how happy and proud she was at the moment.
Chu Yungui: “…” It’s hard to say what kind of person Her Majesty the Empress is.
