429 Injured, Innocent

Feng Qingchen returned to the West District courtyard and closed the door to visitors just like yesterday. No matter who came, she would not see them. Feng Qingchen repeatedly told Tong Yao and Tong Jue that unless the emperor or the prince came in person, they should not disturb her even if the sky fell.

People who didn't know the situation thought that Feng Qingchen was concentrating on preparing for tomorrow's competition, but Tong Yao and Tong Jue understood that their master was not here for the competition at all. He was just being lazy and was sleeping with the door closed in broad daylight.

Ahem... The accusation of sleeping with the door closed in broad daylight was a bit serious. In fact, it was because she had overused her brain and needed to rest. As for tomorrow's calligraphy competition, Feng Qingchen didn't worry about it at all. She had made preparations, but it was not her decision whether they were useful or not. Anyway, she was bound to lose in a calligraphy competition with Su Wan. Comparing her weaknesses with others' strengths was something she would always do.

Feng Qingchen slept until dark, and then sadly discovered that she, who usually could fall asleep as soon as she fell into bed, was particularly energetic tonight and could not fall asleep at all. She simply got dressed and went to the study to read by light. Of course, she was not reading the Four Books and Five Classics, but medical books.

Recently, she has been studying Chinese medicine. She studied Western medicine and has a medical foundation, so it is easier and faster for her to learn Chinese medicine by herself than for the average person. Although her current level of Chinese medicine is not enough to make her a master, she can still diagnose minor illnesses, but she cannot prescribe medicine.

At midnight, Feng Qingchen finally felt sleepy and was about to go to bed. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

"Who are you? Come out." Feng Qingchen stood in the middle of the door, on high alert.

There were guards guarding outside the courtyard, and she didn't hear any fighting sound. The fact that the person was able to break into the inner courtyard showed that he was not an ordinary person.

"It's me, don't make a sound." Lan Jiuqing walked out from the blind spot opposite the study and pressed his right hand on his left lower abdomen to prevent blood from dripping out.

His voice was weak and he was breathing slightly, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.

"Jiuqing? Are you injured again?" Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief. You know, since she had guards protecting her, very few people came to seek medical treatment secretly in the middle of the night.

Although it was Lan Jiuqing who bothered her the most in the middle of the night, the Crown Prince of Xiling had also come once. She had better be cautious. If she fell into the hands of Xiling Tianlei again, even if she could save her life, her innocence might not be preserved. She did not miss the look in Xiling Tianlei's eyes.

In the darkness, Lan Jiuqing smiled bitterly: "Well, take care of my wound for me, I have something important to do tomorrow."

"Come to the study first." Feng Qingchen did not ask Lan Jiuqing how he avoided the guards outside. He opened the door of the study and motioned Lan Jiuqing to go in by himself.

Although she promised that she would try her best to do whatever Lan Jiuqing asked her to do, she had never thought of interfering in Lan Jiuqing's life, let alone knowing about Lan Jiuqing's affairs.

"You go and have a rest on the low couch behind the screen first, I'll go get something." Feng Qingchen closed the study door, turned around and walked towards Tong Jue and Tong Yao's room.

There are some things that they should know.

After Feng Qingchen left, Lan Jiuqing took out the pistol in his arms and tried several times to return it to Feng Qingchen, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. This time he was injured and he might not recover without a few days of rest. He took the opportunity to return the pistol to Feng Qingchen. As for what she thought, he didn't care.

Lan Jiuqing put the pistol under the couch. He believed that Feng Qingchen would understand what this meant.

In fact, he was suffering entirely for Bu Jingyun today. If Bu Jingyun hadn't been negligent in his duty, he wouldn't have been injured at this critical moment.

The news of Ye Ye's disappearance leaked, and the place where Bu Jingyun imprisoned Ye Ye was found by Nanling Jinfan. Nanling Jinfan sent a group of assassins to rescue him. Because Bu Jingyun was accompanying Baoer, he did not see the guard's signal for help. Seeing that Ye Ye was about to be rescued, the guard had no choice but to send a signal to him.

He rushed over and intercepted Ye Ye, preparing to transfer him to another place of imprisonment, but was ambushed by Xiling Tianlei on the way. As a result, Ye Ye was rescued, but he was seriously injured.

Lan Jiuqing admired Xiling Tianlei's use of Nanling Jinfan very much. At the same time, he also understood that there was a big problem inside Nanling, otherwise Nanling Jinfan would not have acted in such a hurry.

Of course, the most hateful person in this matter is Bu Jingyun. One day Bu Jingyun will die in a woman's belly, and he must teach Bu Jingyun a lesson this time.

Lan Jiuqing lay on the small couch, waiting for Feng Qingchen to come in. When footsteps sounded, Lan Jiuqing immediately became alert, like a leopard, with a cold murderous aura emanating from his whole body.

Because he heard the footsteps of three people, two of them obviously had some martial arts skills, and Feng Qingchen always bandaged him alone every time.

"Tong Yao, Tong Jue, wait for me outside." Feng Qingchen seemed to know Lan Jiuqing's worries and introduced himself from a distance.

"Yes, miss." Tong Yao and Tong Jue responded respectfully. The lady asked them to prepare hot water and clean cloths, which meant that she treated them as her own family. Of course, even if she had her own people, there were some things they could not know.

Feng Qingchen walked in carrying a medicine box: "My two maids are outside. It will be safer with them guarding. Don't worry, they are people you can trust."

Trust is mutual. Since she is willing to give Tong Jue and Tong Yao a chance, she can no longer exclude them.

"Yeah." Lan Jiuqing knew that Feng Qingchen didn't care about small things, but would never be vague about big things, especially when it came to matters of life and death. Feng Qingchen was always cautious.

"Just lie down and don't move. I'll go get some water." Feng Qingchen went out and took the things from Tong Jue and Tong Yao. After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "Tong Jue, ask the people in the kitchen to make a pot of chicken soup."

"Yes." Tong Jue understood that Feng Qingchen trusted them, but they also had to do their own duties and not ask questions that they shouldn't.

"Tong Yao, this place is handed over to you. No one can come in without my order." The guards outside were from Prince Su's mansion. Although they were all given to her, it did not mean that every one of them could be used. With Tong Yao here, some unnecessary troubles could be prevented.

This is the advantage of being a maid. In the past, Zhou Xing would do all these things well and she didn’t need to worry about them.

Feng Qingchen walked into the study, put his things away, brought the lamp in, and took out a few lamps in the corner and lit them one by one.

The study was instantly lit up, which soon attracted the attention of the night patrol guard. The guard ran over immediately and was relieved to see Tong Yao there. After asking a few questions and making sure that nothing was wrong, the guard left.

Feng Qingchen was cleaning Lan Jiuqing's wound and was extremely grateful that Tong Yao was outside, otherwise she would have to go out and send people away, which would be troublesome.

The wound on Lan Jiuqing's lower abdomen was more than ten centimeters long, three or four centimeters wide, and about two centimeters deep. A little further down, Lan Jiuqing's penis was gone.

Because the location of the wound was rather special, Feng Qingchen cut off the fabric near the wound and signaled Lan Jiuqing to take off his pants, otherwise if she cut it all off, Lan Jiuqing would have no pants to wear.

Lan Jiuqing's body froze, and he didn't move. Only then did he realize that he was injured in a strange place. Just now, when Feng Qingchen was wiping the blood from his wound, he touched a place that he shouldn't have touched. If he hadn't had good self-control, he might have reacted inappropriately in front of Feng Qingchen and taken off his pants. If there was any problem below, he would have no way to hide it...
