Chapter 21

  I hastily asked Piao Ying to open the door, and in the darkness, Xun Yuns face couldnt hide his anxiety.

  She had always been calm and composed, this kind of emotional expression I saw for the first time, couldnt help but ask: "So late, miss, is there something wrong?"

  She didnt bother with formalities and said straightforwardly, "Zi Yun knows that the princess is well-versed in medicine, so please bring your medical box and follow Zi Yun on a trip immediately."

  I hadnt spoken yet, when Shu Ying curiously interjected: "Is someone in the mansion ill? Why didnt you call a doctor?"

  Xun Yuns face changed slightly, and she quickly responded: "Its the little girl in my room, probably ate something unclean, now she has severe stomach pain. Its so late, asking a doctor would be delayed, thats why I came to bother you, Princess."

  "Is it due to the rain? But when I returned to the mansion, she seemed fine..."

  Shuyings face was full of curiosity, wanting to ask more questions, but I interrupted her calmly: "Alright Shuying, hurry up and find the medicine box for me, dont delay."

  Shu Ying quickly got everything ready for me and was about to follow me out the door, but I smiled faintly and stopped her: "You stay here."

  "But, miss..."

  I still smiled: "Im following Xun Cloud, are you worried that Ill get lost? Besides, as you know, I dont want too many people to know that I understand medicine, so you stay here. If someone comes again, just say Ive fallen asleep."

  I noticed Xunyuns subtle change in expression, a slight relaxation, and she looked at me deeply before pretending not to notice, giving a faint smile, and leading the way out the door. She hastily followed behind me with her medical box.

  As soon as I left Guimeng Pavilion, I didnt plan to beat around the bush. Without stopping my footsteps, I directly asked: "How is Your Highness?"

  Startled by the searching cloud, she gazes at me in a daze.

  I let out a faint sigh in my heart, knowing that my guess was correct. The only one who could make Xun Yun so reckless as to sneak into my Guimeng Pavilion at night, disregarding all rules and etiquette, was Nan Chengyao.

  Just a little while ago, Nan Chengyao was still drinking and having fun, but suddenly something happened again.

  I saw her not speaking, and softly sighed: "Xun Yun, there is no one else around now. I just want to understand the general situation so that I can respond accordingly later. You dont need to hide anything from me."

  Xun Yun hastily replied: "The princess misunderstood, Xun Yun would never dare to hide anything from you, its just that I didnt think of the princess asking this way."

  I didnt speak, and she paused for a moment, softly sighing: "Your Highness has now been wounded by a sword, the waist and abdomen are not light."

  I paused slightly in my heart, and walked silently with her for a while before speaking again: "Why did you look for me? Even if the imperial physicians are not convenient to declare, but within this capital city, there must be doctors who are trustworthy and skilled, why did you look for me?"

  Lowering her gaze, she replied softly, "As you wish, Your Highness."

  I no longer speak, nor have time for deep thought, the lights ahead are already at the entrance of Qintianju Garden.

  Qing Tian Ju is where Nan Cheng Yao lives. Since I married into the Wang Fu, I have come here a few times, but the number of times can be counted on one hand.

  Qin An saw us and forgot to salute, directly taking us to the bedroom of Nan Chongyao.

  The surroundings of the Qintian residence were naturally guarded by people, not many, but in an orderly manner. Among those people, some I recognized were the Wangfu guards. But most of them, however, were unfamiliar to me.

  Nan Xiangyao lay on the fragrant wood bed in the middle of the bedroom with his eyes closed, while Zhu Yu was lifting hot water beside him to do some basic care.

  The blood just wouldnt stop, and the tears that fell like rain couldnt be held back either. But the hands that tended to his wounds didnt tremble in the slightest.

  We came in with extremely light footsteps, but he still sensed it and quietly opened his eyes.

  His dark eyes were clear and sharp, the corners of his mouth still held a careless smile, if not for the overly pale complexion, one could hardly see that he was still carrying injuries.

  He saw me, his eyes seemed to darken for a moment, but after a brief pause, he still smiled lazily: "With a slender waist and delicate steps, presenting her fair wrist in the light gauze. Im rather grateful for this injury, otherwise how would I have seen the elegant appearance of the princess like a lotus flower emerging from clear water? At this hour, it seems that the princess has come to Qiantian Residence for the first time, and also entered my bedroom for the first time. What a pity, with such a beautiful woman on a fine night, Im not fortunate enough to enjoy it, truly a shame."

  I didnt pay attention to his teasing and walked straight up to examine the wound.

  The clothes around his waist were already soaked in blood, I looked closely and finally let out a sigh of relief. The wound seemed serious but was not in a vital position, so it shouldnt be too much of a problem.

  Although it was so, the movements of his hands did not dare to hesitate. The person in front of him was the third prince who had gained the emperors favor, a true treasure, and could not afford to make any mistakes.

  Moreover, the crimson liquid continuously flowing from his waist also made my heart quiver slightly.

  Xun Yun and Zhu Yu have been following my orders, fetching water and grinding medicine.

  I can feel his gaze, quietly watching me, but without any psychological response.

  Just quietly and carefully treating his wound like a professional doctor.

  Nan Xiangyaos wound was not fatal, but it was in the weakest part of his waist and abdomen. The more he moved, the more painful it became, just like being cut by a dull knife.

  And thats why the bleeding from his wound wouldnt stop, and the pain he is enduring now is a thousand times worse than those fatal injuries, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.

  Although I knew he was no simple character long ago, now I still cant help but secretly admire him.

  Originally I was going to administer anesthetic for him, but he just faintly opened his mouth and said, "No need, this little pain doesnt count as anything, I dont have time to waste."

  I was still hesitant, but he already had a playful smile on his lips and said with a faint smile, "Isnt the princess being too kind to me?"

  Its pointless to say any more, so I directly started taking action. Although I had tried my best to be gentle, it was impossible not to cause him more pain by touching the wound.

  There were several times when I couldnt help but pause and look up at him.

  His dark eyes were wide open, clear and sharp, the curved beautiful lips also had a faint smile, only the pale face due to blood loss and the big drops of sweat falling down showed the pain he was enduring.

  After an unknown period of time, someone came in from outside and whispered something in Qin Ans ear.

  Qin Ans expression didnt change as he walked forward and bowed: "Your Highness, Qin An will take his leave first. No one can enter this Tianqu Residence."

  "You may not be able to stop him." Nan Chengyao smiled carelessly, but his eyes were cold: "We dont need to confront him head-on yet, just try to delay as much time as possible."

  Qin An responded with a sound of "yes", and suddenly made a big courtesy to me: "No matter what happens outside, please, Princess, take the palace as important and dont stop treating your injuries."

  I couldnt bear to part with him, so I hastily nodded at him, indicating that I understood.

  Qin An left after seeing me, and Nan Chengyao smiled at me again: "Princess, Im afraid youll have to hurry up. I dont want to drag you into this."
