Xia Tian waited in the house for Chen Nian to come back, but she didn't, so she thought something might have happened.
Just as she was anxiously trying to go out to look for him, the servant who was sent to wait for Shen Nian at the gate ran in in a panic, shouting, "Madam, something happened, something happened."
When Xia Tian heard that something had happened, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Ningxiang, who had been watching over him, helped him up.
Ningxiang's hand, which was holding Xia Tian's, was also shaking a little.
After Xia Tian had stood up, he called Ning Xue and Cui Yun in to watch. Ning Xiang left the room and yelled, "Why are you yelling so loud? You almost scared the Madam. Tell me, what happened?"
The servant who answered was trembling with fear, his words were a little incoherent, "Blood, a lot of blood, the young master was injured, and was carried back. A large group of people rushed to the madam's yard."
"The prince was injured, why was he carried to the lady's yard?" Xia Tian had just recovered and heard this when he came out of the house, and asked in confusion.
"It's not the prince, it's the young master. No, it's the fourth young master who was injured and was carried back to the lady's courtyard." The person who answered saw the lady asking a question and hurriedly stammered to explain clearly.
Xia Tian was startled. "The one who was injured wasn't the prince, but the fourth young master?"
"Yes, I haven't seen the prince yet." The servant nodded quickly.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Shen Nian was not injured.
Ningxiang glared at the servant who answered and let him go.
Another person went to the gate to wait for Shen Nian.
Xia Tian returned to the house, wondering why Chen Ke was the one injured. Could it be that she was injured in a fight between the two sides?
That's not right. Wasn't Chen Ke going to the academy this afternoon? But where did Chen Nian go? Why hasn't she come back yet? Could she be injured too?
Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still anymore. Forget it, she decided to go and take a look for herself!
Just as he was about to put on his cloak and go out, Cui Ling said at the door that the prince had arrived.
Xia Tian turned around and saw Shen Nian lifting the door curtain and striding in from the door.
She hurried over, took off the cloak and handed it to Ningxue, then pulled Shen Nian to check him from front to back and left to right to make sure he was not injured, then took him to the warm room to talk.
Ningxiang asked everyone else to leave. She brought in the tea herself and then stepped out to guard the door.
Inside the room, Xia Tian secretly asked Chen Nian, "What happened? Why is Chen Ke injured? Why are you back so late?"
"I made an appointment to have dinner at Yupinxuan before coming back."
It turned out that when he was on his way to work at noon, he happened to meet his childhood friend Wen Lan from the Wucheng Bingmasi who was patrolling the street. Wen Lan said he had something to talk to him about, so the two of them made an appointment to go to Yupinxuan for dinner after work.
Shen Nian didn't ride a horse today, it was Mu Feng who drove the carriage.
Mu Lin led his men to secretly check along the way. After discovering the hiding place of those people, he did not alert the enemy. He sent two people to keep an eye on them and also sent people to the palace gate to secretly monitor the movements of those people.
The person sent to keep an eye on Chen Ke came back to report that Chen Ke had sneaked out of the academy. Mu Lin immediately told Chen Nian about this situation, and Chen Nian had an idea in his mind.
He asked people to continue to keep an eye on Chen Ke and report his whereabouts at any time.
When Xiazhi came out of the palace gate, he changed into clothes of the same color as Shen Ke.
Because it was winter, it was already dark when I was off duty, and I wouldn't notice it unless I looked carefully.
After the people guarding the palace gate saw one of the two people staring at Chen Nian go to report, Chen Nian got on the carriage, took off his clothes, and asked Mu Feng who was waiting in the carriage to change into them.
Mu Feng changed his clothes, got off the carriage, and took a guard with him, turning left and right to get to Chen Ke.
He kept staring at the person who was thinking, and after watching him get on the carriage for a while, he got off again. Then he followed him secretly from behind, leaving marks for his companions along the way.
After the stalkers left, Shen Nian took a carriage and went directly to Yupinxuan.
Mu Feng led his men to the vicinity of Chen Ke and found an opportunity to escape. Then what happened next was that the people who were trying to assassinate Chen Nian only recognized the clothes and not the person because it was too dark, and injured Chen Ke by mistake.
Fortunately, Chen Ke also brought guards with him, otherwise it would be hard to say whether he could come back alive today.
Xia Tian took a deep breath after hearing this.
This is too complicated. Fortunately, Chen Nian came up with a trick to replace the original with the fake one, otherwise who knows what would happen.
After hearing this, he became a little worried about Liu's situation. "Is Chen Ke seriously injured? Will he suspect you?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. I didn't find those people. Even if they knew it was my trick, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble openly." Shen Nian comforted her gently.
Xia Tian nodded, "That's true. But the Liu family will definitely be looking for an opportunity to retaliate, so we still have to be vigilant."
"Yeah." Chen Nian lowered his eyes. Chen Ke was injured, and Liu would definitely think it was him. They had already torn their relationship apart anyway, so it would be better to put this matter out in the open.
As long as she moves, he will catch her tail sooner or later!
They were still thinking about how to deal with Liu's revenge later, but they didn't know that Liu didn't care about them at all at this time.
In Huarui Hall, basins of hot water were brought in, and soon dirty water mixed with blood was brought out.
In the room, the doctor was treating Chen Ke. The wound near his heart almost cost him his life, and the bleeding took a long time to stop.
Chen Ke was still unconscious and the wound was too deep. The doctor took a long time to bandage it with the help of the maid.
Liu fainted when Shen Ke was carried into the house. After her wound was bandaged, the doctor gave Liu an injection on her philtrum before she slowly woke up.
When Liu woke up, she saw her son's upper body wrapped in gauze and almost fainted again.
The doctor quickly told her that Shen Ke was saved, and she struggled to move to Shen Ke's bed with the help of the maid. Seeing that she was indeed still alive, she fell to the head of the bed as if she had lost her strength.
