Jing Li and Deng Tianyou had never met formally, so they were not familiar with his figure. Only when they saw his face did they remember who he was.
Jing Li quickly dropped his broom and went to help the man up: "Master Deng... wake up!"
Poor Governor Deng was just a scholar. After being tortured like this, he actually lost consciousness and could not be awakened no matter how hard we tried.
Jing Li tried to calm the patient down and pressed the Ren Zhong point, but after a long time he still couldn't wake the patient up.
This was the scene Qin Zhao saw when he walked over.
"What are you doing?"
When he saw the little fish cub coming back by itself, he felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly carried the cub out to look for someone, but unfortunately he was still a step too late.
Qin Zhao looked at Deng Tianyou who was lying on the ground, and then looked at Jing Li who was squatting beside him with a guilty look on his face. He already understood what had happened without any explanation.
He rubbed his brows and sighed, "Help him inside and lie down for a while."
.
Deng Tianyou had made an appointment with Qin Zhao to meet here.
Qin Zhao hadn't been sitting idle these days, but since there had been no movement in the capital, he could only wait patiently. As for Deng Tianyou, he had just returned to the capital to report on his work, and before leaving, he had received a message from Qin Zhao, asking him to come back here to discuss it in person.
He was a cautious person and was afraid that others would see him entering and leaving Qin Zhao's mansion and arouse suspicion, so he came alone and entered secretly through the back door.
Who knew that Jing Li happened to see it.
Jing Li has been much more vigilant these days than before. He will not miss any movement. Seeing someone sneaking towards the back door of his house so stealthily, of course he would be hostile.
As for Qin Zhao, he only roughly calculated that Deng Tianyou would come to visit in the next few days, but he didn't know the exact time, so he didn't tell Jing Li in advance.
Anyway…
This is the result.
Deng Tianyou was unconscious for nearly half an hour before he slowly woke up. As soon as he moved, someone came over to help him: "You're awake, does your head still hurt?"
The wound on his forehead had been bandaged and applied with medicine. Deng Tianyou calmed down and looked clearly at the handsome young man in front of him: "You are..."
"This is my husband."
Only then did Deng Tianyou notice that Qin Zhao was also in the room.
This is a guest room in Qin Zhao's house. Deng Tianyou is lying on the bed, and Qin Zhao is sitting beside the bed. On the small table beside him are the gauze and medicine that he had just bandaged.
"Your Majesty, you...I am..."
Deng Tianyou was a scholar with a keen sense of propriety. After seeing the situation clearly, he wanted to sit up, but the young man held him down and asked with concern, "Don't move. Are you still dizzy?"
"I..." Deng Tianyou was a little dazed for a moment, and only remembered to ask after being asked this question, "Why did I faint just now?"
He raised his hand and touched the still aching spot on his forehead, and asked in a daze, "Are you still injured?"
Jing Li looked at Qin Zhao guiltily.
Qin Zhao cleared his throat and said calmly, "You fell down."
"……ah?"
Qin Zhao: "Yes, you did fall, and my husband brought you back."
Qin Zhao's expression was serious, and Deng Tianyou believed it without a doubt. He immediately stood up and bowed to Jing Li: "Thank you, Princess."
Jing Li: “…”
It was the first time Jing Li was addressed like that, and he was not used to it. He stuttered when responding, "No, it's okay."
On the other hand, Qin Zhao did not feel guilty about deceiving others. He said seriously, "You can't stay here for long. Let's talk business."
"Yes." Deng Tianyou replied.
Qin Zhao led Deng Tianyou to sit at the table and slowly discussed the matter in detail. Jing Li couldn't get a word in, but he didn't want to leave either, so he offered to serve tea and water.
