After finishing the last grain of rice in the bowl, Yingluo Qiqi took the silk handkerchief from Ting Lan and wiped her rosy lips symbolically. Then, she handed the clean silk handkerchief to Ting Lan and said to the Empress,"Empress, we'll be leaving first!”
The Empress slowly put down her chopsticks and replied,""Alright, if there's anything, you can go back first!”
The other three didn't say anything, but they looked at Yingluo Qiqi with reluctance.
Yingluo smiled and tidied up her slightly messy sleeves, then said,"If you want to continue playing tomorrow, come and find me!”
"Okay, you can go now!”As soon as Yingluo Qiqi finished speaking, Wanyan Yuexi stood up excitedly and said very straightforwardly.
For Wanyan Yuexi's straightforwardness, Yingluo Qiqi was somewhat speechless. It turned out that they were thinking about the thing in her hand. Hence, she glared at them before leaving Phoenix Palace with Ting Lan and Ting Yu.
As soon as they left the Phoenix Palace, Yingluo Qiqi slowed down and walked slowly on the path.
The night was hazy. Yingluo Qiqi was still walking around the palace. Behind her, Ting Lan and Ting Yu had found a lantern from somewhere and held it in their hands, illuminating the surroundings.
"Tinglan Tingyu, did you see Hua Juechen today?”Yingluo Qiqi asked.
"No, it's strange. Didn't they say that the Third Prince lives next door to the young miss? Why was he gone for the entire day?”Ting Lan frowned and asked in confusion.
Yingluo Qiqi didn't respond, but she inadvertently quickened her pace, as if she couldn't wait to do something.
After a while, Yingluo Qiqi returned to the courtyard where she lived. The courtyard was brightly lit and there were a few older palace maids and eunuchs cleaning. When they saw Yingluo Qiqi return, they quickly stopped the fire in their hands and bowed to Yingluo Qiqi in unison."Greetings, Princess Yingluo!"
Princess Yingluo glanced at it calmly, then showed a trace of dignity before smiling slightly and saying,"Get up!" With that, Princess Yingluo turned around and walked into the room. As soon as she opened the door, a pungent smell of blood assaulted her face. Yingluo Qiqi immediately rushed in, and Ting Lan and Ting Yu quickly lit all the candles in the room. Suddenly, the entire gloomy room seemed to have a hint of humanity.
Yingluo Qiqi looked at the outer room. There was no blood. Just as she was about to enter the inner room, she suddenly stopped. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little flustered. Glancing at the inner room that was close at hand, Yingluo Qiqi slowly walked in. At a glance, she saw the figure lying on the ground. The blue robe of the past had long been stained with blood and was no longer pure. The blood flowing on the ground stimulated Yingluo Qiqi's nerves. When she saw Hua Juechen's face that was even paler than usual, she did not know why, but at this moment, her heart hurt so much. She leaned her slightly stiff body against the wall, and her right hand pressed hard on her aching heart. A trace of pain appeared on his face.
"Miss!" Ting Lan, who was running over in small steps, immediately cried out in alarm when she saw the blood on the ground. Her two small hands covered her small mouth forcefully, not allowing it to make another sound.
"What's wrong?" At this moment, Ting Yu slowly walked in from outside. She saw Yingluo Qiqi and Ting Lan's strange expressions and was a little confused. She slowly walked closer. When she saw the blood on the floor of the inner room and the person lying in the blood, her pupils couldn't help but shrink.
She quickly took a step forward and helped Hua Juechen up before Yingluo Qiqi could help him up. She glanced at the stunned Yingluo Qiqi and said,"Miss, let me help here. It's not good to get too much blood on you. Miss, you should go and rest first!”
Yingluo Qiqi's outstretched hand immediately stopped in the air, and then she quickly withdrew it. She glanced at the calm Ting Yu, nodded, and then pulled the frightened Ting Lan out.
Yingluo Qiqi sat on the stool, poured a cup of tea that had already cooled down, and drank it alone. When the slightly cold tea entered her stomach, the coldness spread everywhere. Suddenly, she seemed to have returned to her senses. She touched her heart in confusion and asked herself over and over again, why?
" Miss…" Ting Lan looked at the unfamiliar Yingluo Qiqi in front of her and was a little worried. She gently called Yingluo Qiqi, who was daydreaming alone.
Yingluo Qiqi looked up at Ting Lan, who was standing next to her, and returned her sincere smile. Then she said,"I'm fine now, don't worry!”
"Miss, I only moved the Third Prince to the bed, but I found that there are many wounds on the Third Prince's body. It's really inconvenient for me to treat them.”Ting Yu's voice came from the inner room. Just as Yingluo Qiqi was about to say something, she suddenly felt a strange aura and immediately shouted,"Who is it? Hurry up and come out!"
Yingluo Qiqi stared at the window, and a figure suddenly appeared in the dark. He was dressed in black, and there was no expression on his angular face. He stumbled across the window and entered the house. Then, he kowtowed to Yingluo Qiqi. He looked up, and his eagle-like eyes stared straight at Yingluo Qiqi. Ting Lan was frightened by his cold-blooded eyes, and Ting Yu only trembled for a moment before she did not react. Other than Yingluo Qiqi who looked at him calmly, Ting Lan and Ting Yu were all shocked.
The man in black looked at Yingluo Qiqi with satisfaction and said in a deep voice,"Greetings to the princess consort. This subordinate, Wangliang, is the secret guard of the third prince!”
Yingluo Qiqi glanced at him. Seeing his sincere eyes, she no longer doubted him. She was also very satisfied with the arrival of Wangliang. After all, Hua Juechen still needed his help with his wound. So she said to him,"Move your master to the next room and give him a bath!" Change into clean clothes!"
Wangliang did not answer, but immediately walked into the inner room and lifted Hua Juechen up from the bed. When Yingluo Qiqi, who was in the outer room, saw Hua Juechen covered in blood, she suddenly called Wangliang, then took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Wangliang. Wangliang took the medicine from Yingluo Qiqi's hand. When he saw what medicine it was, his face finally revealed an extremely shocked expression, and he looked at Yingluo Qiqi with a trace of panic.
"What's wrong?" Yingluo Qiqi looked at Wangliang's expression and asked.
The Wangliang suddenly came back to its senses when it heard Yingluo Qiqi's words. It looked at Yingluo Qiqi meaningfully, then went out of the window and quickly covered its figure before entering Hua Juechen's room.
After seeing the figure of the Wangliang disappear, Yingluo Qiqi said to Ting Lan and Ting Yu,"Hurry up and clean up the bloodstains in the house. Don't let others find out!”
Ting Lan and Ting Yu responded, then quickly cleaned up. Smelling the bloody smell that was soaring into the sky, Yingluo Qiqi walked out and said to the people guarding the night outside,"Go back and rest. Don't talk back!”Then, Yingluo Qiqi immediately closed the door.
Outside the room, a group of servants who were caught in a dilemma by Yingluo Qiqi looked at each other, but they still left in the end.
Yingluo Qiqi, who was in the room, saw everyone leaving and immediately went to the inner room to help.
Next door, Moryo prepared hot water for Hua Juechen. He then poured a packet of medicinal powder into the water and removed the bloody clothes on Hua Juechen's body. Then, he slowly placed him into the bathtub and let his head lean against the edge of the bathtub. Then, he looked coldly at the wounds on his body and ignored them. He slowly circulated the internal energy in his body, suppressing the turbulent internal energy in his body and forcefully healing Hua Juechen.
Unknowingly, a few hours had passed. After dealing with the bloodstains in the house, Yingluo Qiqi opened all the windows and doors, letting the last bit of blood smell drift into the air.
"Let's go over and take a look!" As Yingluo Qiqi spoke, she had already walked to the door, crossed the threshold, and stood in the corridor. The moonlight shone on her, and her shadow was long…
Yingluo Qiqi walked to the door and knocked on the closed door. She said in a deep voice,"It's me!"
After a while, the door opened, and what greeted her eyes was the ghost-like pale face of the Wangliang. Yingluo was shocked. Looking at the person in front of her, a strange feeling spread from the bottom of her heart.
Wangliang opened the door and said to the three people outside,"Come in!" Then, he turned around and walked into the house.
Yingluo Qiqi walked in and saw Hua Juechen lying on the bed. Seeing that his expression had recovered a little, she felt a little relieved. So, she turned to Wangliang and said,"Have you applied the medicine on him?"
Wangliang nodded lightly and returned the medicine on the table to Yingluo Qiqi. Yingluo Qiqi was puzzled by his actions. She had already given it to him, so why did he return it?
Wangliang glanced at Yingluo Qiqi and said,"It's good for you!"
"What benefits?" Yingluo Qiqi asked.
Wangliang didn't answer and still maintained its posture. Yingluo Qiqi was speechless and could only take back the bottle that she had already given out.
Then, Yingluo Qiqi saw the unconcealable wounds on Wangliang's body and his extremely pale face. She asked worriedly,"Are your injuries alright?"
Wangliang glanced at Yingluo Qiqi and shook his head lightly.
"Miss, the Third Prince is fine now. Go back and rest!”Ting Yu suddenly said. Ting Lan nodded her head continuously. However, Yingluo Qiqi looked at Hua Juechen worriedly and hesitated. However, when she saw the two little girls who were worried about her, the hesitation in her heart dissipated. She stood up straight and said to Moryo,""I can see that you are also heavily injured. If Hua Juechen wakes up and sees you like this, how can he be at ease to let a hidden guard who is covered in injuries protect him?”With that, Yingluo Qiqi walked out without looking back. However, when Ting Yu left, she looked at Wangliang with a deep expression, and Wangliang Ye Se also looked at the steady Ting Yu. Seeing that Yingluo Qiqi was about to leave, Ting Yu trotted after her.
Back in the room, Yingluo Qiqi sat on the stool and quietly pondered. What was that strange feeling she had just had? It made her very uncomfortable. Could it be that she liked Hua Juechen? Thinking of this, Yingluo Qiqi immediately denied it. How was this possible! She did not believe in love at first sight.
Ting Lan and Ting Yu closed the window. Then, Ting Yu said to Yingluo Qiqi, who was sitting on the stool motionlessly,"Miss, hurry up and go to bed. It's getting late. Tinglan and I will go rest first.”
When Yingluo Qiqi heard this, she nodded slightly and watched as Tinglan and Tingyu left. She locked the door again. When she looked up, her eyes were cold without a trace of warmth. She slowly went into the inner room and fell into a deep sleep as time passed…
