Chapter 228 Care
She sniffed, her voice choking, "Okay, stop talking and save your energy first."
Xie Liuzheng's pair of black eyes were bottomless. He stared at Luo Qingge for a while, then bent his head and leaned into Luo Qingge's arms.
For some reason, her embrace made him feel a little safe.
Xie Liuzheng leaned forward again and rubbed his head on Luo Qingge's chest, not realizing that he felt the best touch there.
A strange thought suddenly arose in his mind. He felt that the injury he suffered today was not in vain. At least he could see the worry in Luo Qingge's eyes.
Just then, Meng Fan came back with some bottles and jars in his hands.
He looked at the scene in disbelief as he saw his own young master's head resting on Luo Qingge's chest, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Prince, Ninth Princess, you...what are you doing?"
Meng Fan's voice came suddenly, startling both Luo Qingge and Xie Liuzheng.
Fortunately, after those secret guards saw that Luo Qingge was no longer in danger, they disappeared.
Linglan had already known better and walked away, keeping watch for the two of them in case another group of assassins came to attack them.
After Xie Liuzheng was startled, he realized belatedly that the position he was leaning in was a bit awkward.
He coughed lightly, quickly raised his head and changed the subject.
"Well, I asked you to find a clinic. Have you found it?"
Meng Fan really didn't ask any more questions. He walked over and said, "All the clinics are closed in the middle of the night. I went to several clinics but no one was open."
Xie Liuzheng's eyes fell on the bottles and jars in his hands, and he asked unhappily: "There is no one in the clinic, so where did you get these medicines? Did you steal them?"
"Meng Fan, you've really made it!"
Meng Fan had a sad face and quickly explained: "Sir, how can this be called stealing? There was no one in their clinic, and I thought you were in urgent need of these medicines to save your life, so I sneaked in and bought some."
"Before I left, I left them fifty taels of silver, and I paid them."
Luo Qingge was speechless when she saw that the master and servant were still thinking about bickering. She spoke up in time:
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Let's find an inn to stay in first and take care of Master Xie's wounds, or he might bleed to death later."
There will be waiters on duty at the inn at night, so it is relatively easy to find.
Soon, Meng Fan found the nearest inn.
When treating the wound, Meng Fan was in trouble again.
Xie Liuzheng's knife was still stuck in the flesh. He tried many times but just couldn't bring himself to do it.
He said with a frustrated face: "Sir, I, I can't do it."
Luo Qingge pushed him away and said, "You are useless. I will do it myself."
Luo Qingge rolled up her sleeves, walked behind Xie Liuzheng, pursed her lips and said: "It will be a little painful when you draw the sword, just bear with it."
"Pull it out!"
Xie Liuzheng nodded. He was sweating profusely at this moment, but the tingling in his body kept irritating him and prevented him from fainting.
Luo Qingge swallowed her saliva, grabbed the base of the handle, and pulled hard, and the knife that was embedded in the flesh was pulled out.
Warm blood gushed out and splashed all over Luo Qingge's face, but she had no time to care about it.
She asked Linglan to bring a pair of scissors and used her hands to cut a big hole in Xie Liuzheng's clothes on the back. The sight of the wound made Luo Qingge gasp.
His wound was so deep that it formed a bloody hole, and the blood flowed down like water.
Luo Qingge's eyes turned red instantly.
She brought a hot towel and began to clean the blood off Xie Liuzheng's body until the blood dyed the three basins of water red.
"If it hurts, just scream out. This princess won't laugh at you."
Xie Liuzheng's face turned frighteningly pale, and he was sweating profusely from the pain, but he was still unyielding in his words.
"If you want me to call you my prince, then I can do that. How embarrassing would that be for me?"
Luo Qingge glanced at him and stopped arguing with him. Instead, she focused on giving Xie Liuzheng the medicine.
This was her first time applying medicine to someone, and her technique was not very skilled. It took her half an hour to barely finish bandaging Xie Liuzheng.
Luo Qingge was also very tired. She turned her head to look at Xie Liuzheng and found that he had fallen asleep.
But even when he was asleep, there was still a hint of alertness on his pale and handsome face.
Luo Qingge immediately made a gesture to everyone and led them out.
She said to Meng Fan: "Master Xie has fallen asleep. Don't disturb him now. Wait until tomorrow morning and ask Third Sister-in-law to help look after him."
"Today's assassins were obviously targeting me. I will report this matter to my father after I return to the palace. You stay here and take good care of him."
Meng Fan said in time: "Ninth Princess, it's so late, are you going back to the palace?"
"It's not safe outside. Why don't you leave at dawn tomorrow?"
Linglan also had some worry on her face. "Princess, he is right. Those assassins came for you today. Who knows if they have any backup plans? It will be safer for us to return to the palace tomorrow."
After hearing what she said, Luo Qingge felt that there was some truth in what she said and stopped insisting.
"Well, then let's go back to the palace tomorrow!"
"Xie Liuzheng saved me, let me stay here and take care of him tonight!"
Meng Fan was just about to tell Luo Qingge to go and rest and that he would take care of Xie Liuzheng himself, when he saw her turn around and walk into Xie Liuzheng's room and close the door with a "click".
The next morning, Xie Liuzheng woke up from his bed. He put his hand on his brow and felt that he had an abnormal headache.
"Where is this prince?"
When Meng Fan heard the voice, he hurried over with a look of joy on his face.
"Thank God, Prince, you finally woke up!"
"Have you forgotten? We are in the inn here. Last night, the Ninth Princess was assassinated. You saved her and were seriously injured. Last night, you had a high fever and it was the Ninth Princess who took care of you all night."
Xie Liuzheng then remembered this matter. He looked around the room but did not see Luo Qingge.
"Where is the Ninth Princess?"
Meng Fan said: "The Ninth Princess left at dawn this morning. I sent someone to take her back."
Xie Liuzheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
At this moment, even he himself did not realize that Luo Qingge's life had even surpassed his own in his heart.
The news that Luo Qingge was assassinated on the street when returning to the palace quickly spread throughout Dongchen Kingdom and became known to everyone.
Also reported was the news that Xie Liuzheng stepped forward to save the beauty, but was ultimately seriously injured and fell into a coma.
When Duke Rong Xie Jinrong learned that his son was injured by an assassin, he immediately rushed into the palace angrily and demanded that Emperor Jingyang seek justice for Xie Liuzheng.
