Chapter 12: Cheating Others
Lu Xiang looked around and said, "Put it on the bed."
"Ah?" Yun Zha was shocked and almost threw Chu Jinyan out.
Miss, it’s fine if you just helped a man and brought him back to your room, but now you’re putting him on the bed, wuwuwu, your innocence…
Lu Xiang was unable to sense the inner wailing of his maid, and then ordered: "You two walk the same path again and clean up the blood on the ground."
The two nodded with tears in their eyes, put Chu Jinyan on the bed and left.
Lu Xiang took out various medicines from the gift bag he brought.
"There's so much blood on your body, is one bottle of golden medicine enough?"
"I don't know if there are any internal injuries or something like that. What medicine should I use for this?"
"No matter what, as long as it doesn't conflict with the food, I'll eat it first. It's better than dying in pain from bleeding."
Lu Xiang stood beside the bed, looking at the man in front of him who was frowning even though he was unconscious, with deep surprise in his eyes.
He was as beautiful as a crown of jade, extremely handsome, with skin as cold as ice under his black hair, eyebrows as black as ink, and the bloodstains on his face made him not look disheveled at all, but rather as charming as a red spider lily.
No matter how many times I have seen Chu Jinyan, his stunning face always makes people feel like seeing a sky full of dazzling stars.
It is beautiful, but Lu Xiang is struggling at the moment and doesn't know where to start.
After hesitating for a while, she gave up the idea of taking off her clothes and poured gold medicine directly on the wounds caused by the knife.
As soon as the powder touched the wound, Chu Jinyan gasped in pain. When he opened his eyes, the shock and coldness in his eyes were like a sharp dagger, which made Lu Xiang's hand tremble and he fell sideways.
"I only have this one bottle of golden medicine. If you waste it, you'll be the one who'll die." The implication was, you scared me, so please put away your damn murderous aura.
Although Lu Xiang's words were unpleasant, the smile on his face was exceptionally sweet.
Well, you have to be nice to your golden thigh, so that it will be more convenient for you to do things in the future.
When Chu Jinyan saw that Lu Xiang was applying medicine to him, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his cold face, but his expression became much gentler.
"I can do it myself." He said, trying to get up.
This girl took some medicine and spilled half of it on her clothes. Who is wasting it?
Chu Jinyan's words were exactly what Lu Xiang wanted. He decisively stuffed the medicine into his hand, and then handed him all the medicine he had brought with him: "See if there is anything you can use."
After saying that, he sat down at the table far away, with a screen between them.
Not long after, Wu Yue knocked on the door, her voice full of fear: "Miss, I saw a group of people coming in from the back door, what should I do?"
Lu Xiang opened the door, pulled Wu Yue in, and asked in a low voice: "Is the blood on the ground cleaned up?"
Wu Yue said nervously, "Yun Zhe and I cleaned up the back door, and when we saw those people, we ran back immediately. We didn't have time to clean up the road in the back mountain. Will those people find us?"
"It's okay. As long as there's no blood on the road leading to our yard, they won't be able to find it. Stay calm. Where's Yunzhe?"
"She's outside in the yard checking the situation."
"Ask her in and pretend nothing happened." Lu Xiang said as he quickly took off his coat, climbed onto the bed regardless of Chu Jinyan's shocked look, pulled over the quilt and lay down.
Chu Jinyan was so frightened that she almost bit off her tongue.
"you……"
Lu Xiang turned his head and saw Chu Jinyan still sitting. He used both hands to push him into the quilt: "Shut up and don't move."
There was a hint of trembling in her fierce tone. She told the maid not to panic. She was also nervous, but when she decided to get involved in this mess, Lu Xiang had already thought of a plan.
Otherwise, not only will you be disgraced, but you may even lose your life.
She was finally reborn, how could she allow herself to die in front of her enemy?
Chu Jinyan, who was forced to be suffocated in the quilt, was emitting cold air. The overwhelming pressure almost made Lu Xiang burst into a sieve.
Damn, if you weren’t such a golden thigh, I wouldn’t have served you.
The room suddenly became quiet. Lu Xiang's breathing was so close that it knocked at Chu Jinyan's heart again and again, making him feel inexplicably at ease. Even the wounds on his body didn't seem to hurt so much anymore.
It's strange, they are obviously strangers meeting for the first time.
Why did he have this incredible feeling?
Although they were both women, he just couldn't hate this little girl.
With such confusion, Chu Jinyan actually felt a little drowsy.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the abbot's apologetic voice rang out.
"Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. This is a matter of great importance. I've been ordered to come and ask you a few questions."
The door opened and it was the old lady's room.
Mother Wen came out and looked at the group of people in armor in front of her with a startled expression: "Master, what happened?"
Without waiting for the abbot to speak, the leading general asked with a cold face: "I was ordered to chase the fugitive. When I chased him to the back door of Hua'an Temple, the bloodstain disappeared. So now I can only search one room at a time."
Mother Wen calmed down and looked at the man and said, "We haven't seen any fugitives."
"It's not up to you to decide whether you have seen it or not. We have to search first to know." The leading man said ferociously.
“You…” Mother Wen choked with anger.
The old lady came out upon hearing the noise and looked at them coldly: "Search if you want, but the house next door is my granddaughter's. General, just ask. It's not appropriate to trespass into a girl's house."
The leading general didn't take it seriously. He waved his hand to the soldiers behind him and went to search the old lady's house first: "We are working for the court. If someone runs away, can you bear the responsibility?"
"Grandmother..." Lu Xiang's voice suddenly came from the room: "If the general insists on coming in to search, then let him come in. It's just that I am an unmarried girl who met a man outside. My reputation is not clear. I hope the general can be responsible for my innocence. If the general breaks his promise and leaves, then I, a weak woman, will have to go to the capital to look for him for my survival. The general has worked hard for the court to capture the criminals, so I think he has a great reputation in the capital. By the way, general..." At this point, Lu Xiang deliberately paused, dragged out the tail tone and asked: "You are from the capital, right?"
What a fugitive, he is just a trick to deceive other people.
Chu Jinyan!
The current emperor's favorite son, and the only one he wants to make the crown prince, has too many people who want him dead.
These assassinations behind the scenes are as numerous as fleas. How dare they make them public? They are just asking the emperor to chop off their heads.
Lu Xiang's words were like a rope, tightly trapping the general who wanted to take a step forward. His face was stretched long and his expression was as gloomy as water.
There was a moment of silence between the two sides. Although Lu Xiang was confident that his words would prevent the other party from entering the house, he was also worried about the one in a million chance of happening, so even his breathing became rapid.
