Chapter 658: Snatching the Person Back from King Yan
The Yu family was almost in chaos because of Gui Ge'er's incident.
The wound on Gui Ge'er's chest almost reached his heart, and there was really no way to save him.
In addition, Gui Ge'er had some other scars on his body, some of which were fresh and some were old.
When Bai Xiaofeng saw this, she fainted. After being rescued by Xingxing, she started crying, wondering what kind of life Gui Ge'er was leading out there.
In the end, Xingxing drove everyone in the family out and asked them to find a place to rest.
Xingxing stayed with Guiger the whole night without closing her eyes.
In the middle of the night, Gui Ge'er developed a high fever again. Xing Xing hurried to prepare some soup and medicine for Gui Ge'er. She was busy for most of the night. It was not until the morning that Gui Ge'er's condition stabilized a little, but he was still on the verge of danger and had to be watched carefully.
Mrs. Wei felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She also did not sleep all night. She stayed in the side room next to the main house of Guiger's courtyard with Bai Xiaofeng all night. When it was almost dawn, the two of them could not bear it any longer and finally closed their eyes.
As soon as Xingxing came out of Guiger's room, Mrs. Wei and Bai Xiaofeng couldn't wait to greet her.
As soon as Xing Xing saw the dark circles under the eyes of Wei Pozi and Bai Xiaofeng, she knew that the two of them had probably not slept all night, so she whispered, "Fourth brother is seriously injured. He has gotten over the hurdle for now, but we still have to take good care of him. I will take a nap on the Luohan bed in Fourth brother's room for half an hour. I told Zhaoying that if there is anything wrong with Fourth brother, let her call me... Grandma, Second Aunt, don't worry, Fourth brother is here with me, I won't let anything happen to him. You should go and rest first, you have to rest well. Otherwise, what will happen if Fourth brother gets better and you are sick later?"
Bai Xiaofeng nodded with tears in her eyes.
Xingxing tried her best to persuade Mrs. Wei and Bai Xiaofeng to rest for a while.
Bai Xiaofeng and Old Lady Wei looked at Gui Ge'er. Both of them had pale faces and went to the side room to rest.
Xingxing guarded Guiger for three days, and Guiger was finally out of danger.
Bai Xiaofeng burst into tears.
When Gui Ge'er woke up, Xing Xing was taking a nap on the couch next to him. Bai Xiaofeng was watching over her without taking off her clothes. He was caught off guard and met Bai Xiaofeng's red and swollen eyes.
Gui Ge'er's face was even whiter than if he had put on powder. When he saw his mother's eyes were swollen like eggs, even though he was still weak, he had to say a few words to his mother to ease the mood: "Oh, mother, I haven't seen you for a while. You look younger now."
Bai Xiaofeng cried and laughed at the same time, and raised her hand to hit Gui Ge'er, but then she remembered that this was her son who had just escaped death, so her hand turned into wiping tears frantically: "You little bastard, you're finally awake..."
Gui Ge'er was in so much pain that he could feel that all the wounds, big and small, on his body were covered with cool medicine.
He couldn't move, and gave a weak grin: "Yes, mother, King Yan didn't want to take me in, so he let me go back."
Bai Xiaofeng's tears fell more and more fiercely. She finally couldn't hold back and cried out: "How dare you be so careless! You little bastard, do you know what kind of life your family has been going through these days? Your sister has been guarding you for three whole days!"
As she spoke, Bai Xiaofeng covered her mouth again, for fear of waking Xing Xing.
Xing Xing endured nearly twelve hours. It was in the morning when she saw that Gui Ge'er's pulse was stable and his life was no longer in danger. After she told Bai Xiaofeng that Gui Ge'er might wake up soon, she could no longer bear it and fell headfirst onto the couch, falling into a near coma.
When Gui Ge'er saw his mother's haggard appearance and heard his mother say that Xing Xing had been guarding him for three days, his expression changed several times. Finally, he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he pulled the wound unexpectedly, and with a "hiss" he took a breath of cool air.
"Mom, I want to eat something. I'm so hungry." Guiger still had that nonchalant and playful look on his face.
Bai Xiaofeng was filled with hatred and anger, but she still wiped her tears, stood up, and walked quickly outside to call the maid.
Before going to bed, Xingxing told Bai Xiaofeng that Guiger had survived the life-threatening situation and would wake up soon.
Bai Xiaofeng had a psychological expectation. Now that Guiger had really woken up, she was filled with energy.
In addition to sending maids to the kitchen to serve meals, she also sent maids to each room and courtyard to inform everyone that Gui Ge'er had woken up.
At this moment, all the Yu family members from all the houses and courtyards came over. Even Cen Yueyi, whose belly was so big that she was about to give birth, was carefully supported by her maid and came to visit Gui Ge'er with her big belly.
Everyone knew that Gui Ge'er had just survived a life-and-death ordeal and was still weak, so they didn't rush into the house. Instead, they stood outside and asked Bai Xiaofeng happily about Gui Ge'er.
Xingxing had also woken up by now. She took a handkerchief dipped in warm water, wiped her face, and went to check Guige'er's pulse. After making sure that Guige'er's pulse was no longer in danger, she smiled.
Gui Ge'er looked at Xing Xing's expression and sighed.
Xing Xing subconsciously touched her face and said, "Fourth brother, is there something on my face?"
Gui Ge'er sighed, "That's not true. I just thought that I, a loser and a poor student, had made you worry about me."
Xing Xing heard something, but now was not the time to ask about it. Xing Xing shook her head: "Fourth brother, don't think about anything now, don't say anything, just have a good rest. When you have recovered, decide whether to tell us why you were injured."
Xing Xing raised her hand to tuck the corner of Gui Ge'er's quilt and smiled, "Fourth brother, you should have a good rest. I'll go back and take a shower and have a good sleep."
Gui Ge'er looked at his petite sister, with the thick dark circles under his eyes that could not be hidden, yet he still had to worry about him like this.
Gui Ge'er's eyes softened a little, and in the end he said nothing, just silently hummed "hmm".
As soon as Xingxing walked out of Guiger's room, she was surrounded by Yu's family.
Although Bai Xiaofeng had already said it just now, they still wanted to hear Xingxing say it again.
After all, Xingxing is professional!
Xing Xing was not tired of telling everyone in detail about Gui Ge'er's current physical condition. Everyone's faces turned pale and green, and they were all extremely scared.
Xing Xing concluded, "… Fourth Brother has already gotten through the most difficult time. He just needs to take good care of himself. I will come to check his pulse every morning and evening. If there is any emergency, just come to my yard and call me."
Everyone noticed how exhausted Xingxing was. They felt so distressed and urged her to go and rest.
Xingxing didn't refuse, she was really tired.
Besides, they are all family members, so there is no need to be polite.
Xingxing waved her hand and took Zhaoying back to her yard.
As Xing Xing soaked in the warm bathtub, she thought about the various injuries, big and small, on Gui Ge'er's body.
She had long known that Gui'er was different from the other brothers in the mansion.
This difference started from the day when Gui Ge'er secretly saved someone.
At that time, Gui Ge'er thought that the man was a little weird and did not dare to bring him home. He could only place him in a secret cave in the mountains and only told Xing Xing.
Later, Gui Ge'er began to learn things from that person.
Afterwards, Gui Ge'er started to appear and disappear mysteriously, and was not at home all day long.
Xingxing could guess that it was because what Guiger did was unsafe and he didn't want to involve his family, so Guiger came home less and less.
Especially after coming to the capital, Xingxing got a lot of secret information from Gui Ge'er, and Xingxing could more or less guess what Gui Ge'er was doing.
Gui Ge'er probably also knew that Xing Xing had guessed what he was doing.
But Xingxing never told anyone else about her guess.
There is a tacit understanding between Gui Ge'er and me, where everyone knows that we both know what's going on, but we just don't say it out loud.
Unfortunately, when Xingxing saw the new and old wounds on Guiger's body a few days ago, she was actually scared.
She had been mentally prepared, but she didn't know it would be so tragic.
well.
Xing Xing sighed and sat down in the bathtub again.
When Guiger's injury heals, she will have a serious talk with him about this.
After taking a bath, Xingxing went to bed.
The maids in her courtyard were probably instructed to walk on tiptoe during Xingxing's rest period.
Xingxing fell asleep and slept until the next day.
When she woke up the next day, she felt that she had a very good rest and felt refreshed.
Zhaoying arranged shifts with the other maids, and someone was always on duty in Xingxing's room. When she saw Xingxing wake up, the maid on duty hurriedly asked, "Princess, the old lady has instructed that ginseng soup be stewed in the small kitchen. Can I bring you a bowl of it later?"
Xing Xing nodded and looked out the window at the sky: "…Is there any news from my fourth brother's courtyard?"
The maid said, "There has been no news from the Fourth Young Master's courtyard. However, the old lady and several other ladies, the first and second young mistresses, have all sent people to the courtyard to ask if the princess has woken up. Several of the masters' people heard that the princess has not woken up yet, so they told us not to wake her up and let her have a good rest. They will come to see her another day."
While Xingxing was listening to the maid's report, she washed her face in the brass basin brought by the maid, and her expression became clearer and clearer.
She nodded: "I understand. Bring the ginseng soup over later. I'll drink it and then go to Fourth Brother's courtyard to take a look."
The best news is that there is no news from Gui Ge'er's yard.
However, Xing Xing was still a little worried. She thought that she would only feel at ease after she slept until now and then went to check Gui Ge'er's pulse.
By the time Xingxing had packed up and went to Guige Orphanage, the sky had just begun to brighten.
Gui Ge'er had already woken up and was staring blankly above the bed curtain.
Seeing Xingxing coming over at this time, Gui Ge'er knew in his heart that Xingxing must have slept all day long since yesterday, so she came over in a hurry to check on his health.
Gui Ge'er laughed and sighed, "Why don't you take a rest? If you tire yourself out because of me, grandma and mom will beat me up when I recover from this injury."
Xingxing saw Gui Ge'er speaking. Although his breath was not strong, he was much better than when he just woke up yesterday. He could speak such a long sentence in one breath.
She smiled a little, reached out to feel Gui Ge'er's pulse, and said with satisfaction: "You're recovering well."
Gui Ge'er laughed and said, "That's right. I, your fourth brother, am strong and healthy. No matter how serious the injury is, it's no problem for me."
The maids serving in Guiger's room were about to roll their eyes.
Xing Xing smiled and asked the maid to bring a small stool. She sat beside Gui Ge'er's bed and pointed out mercilessly, "Aren't you awake because the wound hurts so much that you can't sleep?"
Gui Ge'er would never admit it: "No, really not."
Xingxing just smiled and didn't insist on arguing with Guiger.
Gui Ge'er took the initiative to confess: "...To be honest, I really didn't expect that I would still be alive."
He thought at the time, he was going to die anyway, so he might as well take one last look at his family before he died.
Unexpectedly, his sister Xingxing snatched him back from Prince Yan.
So when he woke up and saw his mother's red and swollen eyes and the white hair on her temples, he actually wanted to cry.
Seeing that Gui Ge'er was about to explain how he got injured, Xing Xing said "hmm" twice, sat on the small stool, put her arms on the couch, and looked at Gui Ge'er with her face in her hands, as if to say, "Tell the truth, I'm listening."
Gui Ge'er really confessed: "...Actually it's nothing, I just had a mission to check on a female assassin. The female assassin was quite good at martial arts and was quite alert. She found me later and came to kill me."
Seeing Xing Xing's expression change slightly, Gui Ge'er quickly added: "...But I, your fourth brother, am not a pushover either. I dealt with her for a long time. I was injured a lot, but she didn't get away with it either. I also cut a lot of wounds on her body."
Xing Xing asked: "Is she dead?"
Gui Ge'er couldn't help but coughed: "Don't worry, she almost killed me with that sword, and I also hit her with a hidden weapon. I have a miracle doctor like our Xing Xing to save her life, but she doesn't. I guess she won't survive."
Gui Ge'er looked as if "the grudge is settled, let's just leave it at that", so Xing Xing didn't ask any more questions.
"Then have you thought about how to tell Second Aunt?" Xingxing asked again.
This question hit the point. Gui Ge'er smiled at Xing Xing and said, "Sister, please help Fourth Brother think about it. Fourth Brother is injured now and he really doesn't have the energy to make up a story to deceive your Second Aunt."
Xing Xing glanced at Gui Ge'er and said, "No, I don't want to deceive Second Auntie."
What's more, Xingxing and Guiger both knew it very well.
In the past, Bai Xiaofeng might have turned a blind eye and ignored Gui Ge'er's fooling around outside and not coming home all day.
But now that this has happened, I am afraid that Gui Ge'er's freedom in the future will be in jeopardy...
It's a bit pitiful, but Xingxing doesn't intend to care.
Xing Xing said seriously, "In short, the most important thing for you right now is to take good care of your injuries. I estimate that after you recover, Second Aunt will take you to the mountain to fulfill your vows. When you were in danger of death, Second Aunt prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky!"
Gui Ge'er thought about it, sighed, and finally gave in: "Okay."
Xingxing has been taking care of Gui Ge'er these days. Empress Nie originally wanted to issue an oral order to let Xingxing enter the palace, but Xingxing really couldn't leave at the time, so she asked the eunuch who came to deliver the oral order to ask Empress Nie to help ask if she could enter the palace a few days later if there was no urgent matter.
At that time, Gui Ge'er had not yet overcome the crisis of life and death, and Xingxing really couldn't leave.
Empress Nie was also very understanding. Not only did she agree to the matter, she also asked the eunuch to bring a 300-year-old ginseng from the palace.
