The reason why he kept pretending to be ill was that he wanted to take this opportunity to threaten Duan Qingxi, or to force the emperor of Shengyuan Kingdom.
But unexpectedly... after Duan Qingxi gave him a few injections, he...
Ouyang Zuo was naturally furious, gritting his teeth, but thinking that his goal had failed, he could only leave angrily with everyone.
As soon as he left, Helian Sheng slowly came to the general's mansion.
Duan Yu, who was following him, was extremely anxious. In fact, he had already rushed to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to rescue him, and met Helian Sheng as soon as possible. He also immediately told him about Ouyang Zuo's situation in the General's Mansion.
But unexpectedly, Helian Sheng was not in a hurry at all, and only now was he willing to come over slowly.
Duan Hong was frightened just now because of Ouyang Zuo's incident, and now when he saw Helian Sheng coming, his heart suddenly began to lift again.
"Ninth Prince?"
Duan Sijin didn't expect Helian Sheng to come so late, but Duan Qingxi had nothing to do now, and he was willing to come over, so Duan Sijin was still very grateful.
Just as he was about to speak, Helian Sheng looked at Duan Qingxi and asked, "Is it resolved?"
Duan Qingxi rolled her eyes at him and said speechlessly, "If I don't solve it, am I still waiting for you to come and watch the show?"
Duan Hong became even more panicked, wondering how Xier could speak to the Ninth Prince like that?
Just as he was about to apologize to Helian Sheng on behalf of Duan Qingxi, Helian Sheng chuckled and said, "I know you're smart, but you've never suffered a loss..."
Duan Qingxi didn't accept his compliment and asked, "Why are you here?"
At this time, Su He spoke up, "Master Duan was worried that Ouyang Zuo would harm you, the princess, so he sent people to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to invite the prince over. In fact, the prince had already sent people to keep an eye on Ouyang Zuo. If he dared to attack you at that time, our people would not let him go!"
Hearing this, Duan Qingxi looked at Duan Sijin.
Duan Sijin was also surprised that Helian Sheng actually sent people to keep an eye on Ouyang Zuo, and he felt relieved. Then he wouldn't have to worry about Ouyang Zuo hurting Duan Qingxi in the future.
Seeing Duan Sijin's expression, Duan Qingxi felt warm in his heart, and even his eyes became much gentler.
But Helian Sheng was unhappy.
Why doesn't she look at him with such gentle eyes? He also cares about her!
But then he thought that Duan Sijin was just Duan Qingxi's brother, so the depressed mood in his heart slowly dissipated.
Helian Sheng came and had no intention of leaving, so Duan Hong and Duan Sijin entertained him together.
Unfortunately, the man's eyes were always on Duan Qingxi, with no intention of concealing anything.
Duan Hong was also unhappy, wondering what was wrong with this man and why he kept staring at his woman!
Duan Qingxi didn't want to accompany them, so he stood up and said, "Dad, big brother, I'm not feeling well. I'm going back to the yard to rest first."
Everyone around could see that this was just an excuse, so they didn't worry about it. Duan Hong just nodded and told her to go back and rest first.
After returning to the yard and changing his clothes, Duan Qingxi slipped out through the back door again.
What was a bit embarrassing was that Helian Sheng was blocking her at the back door.
Duan Qingxi: ...
Although the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, Duan Qingxi pretended to be calm and said, "Ninth Prince, why are you here?"
Helian Sheng looked at her and couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Of course I'm waiting for you here."
