Chapter 57: Count Later
On the other side of the dormitory, the fire was raging.
The entire house was completely covered by the flames, and the flames were rising straight up, and the dark night sky was reflected as bright as day.
In front of the dormitory, the people of the palace hurriedly carried buckets, the firelight reflected their faces, one by one sweating, looking panicked, hurriedly splashing water on the fire, and hurriedly ran away.
At this time, a petite figure staggered over from a distance, and the plate in his hand had already fallen to the ground.
Xiaolian ran to the door of the dormitory, looked at the house that had been engulfed by fire, her throat was stalked, tears came out of her eyes, and she rushed into the house without thinking about it.
Not far away, an inky blue figure appeared on the courtyard wall of the dormitory, watching Xiaolian rush into the house regardless of it, her expression was abrupt, and she immediately flew down.
The heat wave was coming, Xiaolian raised her arm to block it, and was about to rush in, but she felt the back collar tighten, and the person was involuntarily dragged backwards.
Xiao Ce dragged her with one hand and protected her waist with the other, leading the person to a safe place in front of the palace.
Xiaolian broke away from him, and without looking, she reached out and pushed the person away, "What do you want to do!" Pull me - what for! ”
Unexpectedly, before his hand touched the person in front of him, he was firmly held, and then a familiar voice with some anger came.
"You don't want to die, don't you! Rush inside without asking! What's the use of you even if you go in? ”
When Xiaolian heard this voice, she glanced up, but she felt more and more aggrieved, "But Sister Ami is still inside...... It's all my fault, I shouldn't have left her ......"
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Xiao Ce glanced back, it was Chang Li, and when he looked back, he saw Chang Xian also hurriedly following behind, he rolled his eyes, and his face instantly turned stinky.
Chang Xian obviously saw him too, slowed down, and instantly exploded, "Why are you here?" ”
Xiao Ce snorted lightly, "It's your business!" ”
Chang Xian glared at him, snorted coldly, and followed again.
Changli walked in front, looking at the scene in front of him, full of anger, his heart seemed to be pinched by something, he clenched his teeth, reached out and pulled a subordinate who passed by, and asked word by word, "Is the princess still inside?" ”
Although Changli is cold and indifferent on weekdays, he has never had such a big fire in the house.
The man lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and said tremblingly, "Yes...... It's ...... inside."
Chang Li's eyes flickered, and he pushed the man away, turned around and prepared to rush into the house.
At this time, Liuyun followed, and when he saw that he was going in, he hurriedly flew in front of him, "Lord Wang, let's go in with my subordinates!" Don't let anything happen! ”
A subordinate carrying a bucket came from behind Liuyun, didn't see Changli in front, rushed straight over, and hit Changli.
As soon as the man looked up, he saw Changli's face full of anger, and immediately his legs weakened, so he knelt at his feet, "Little ...... The small one is not intentional, Wang ...... The prince ......"
Changli didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then scolded coldly, "Why don't you go and put out the fire?" ”
The man hurriedly got up from the ground, picked up the bucket and ran away.
Changli watched him walk away, and while walking briskly towards the house, he instructed Liuyun, "Go check!" ”
Liuyun knew that he couldn't stop him, so he immediately turned around and walked out of the courtyard again.
In the dark, the prince stared at every move in front of him, his expression was obscure, and he said to Xu Daren beside him, "It's not on you, you quickly send someone to look around the study." ”
Lord Xu answered, and quickly turned around and left.
Changli's footsteps did not stop for a moment, and rushed directly in, the smoke choked him and he couldn't help frowning, through the smoke, he saw two people lying on the ground.
One was dressed in plain tulle with a little blood on his body.
The other, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, had a dagger stuck in his left shoulder, and the blood stains on the corners of his lips had dried up.
After a long pause, his heart suddenly hurt like a pinprick, and suddenly a sense of fear spread throughout his body, and he felt empty for a moment.
He hurriedly walked over, squatted down, and held Ami in his arms, not even noticing that his hands were trembling.
Another person rushed in from outside the door, and Changli looked up and saw that it was Changning.
He glanced at it lightly, didn't stop, took off his coat and covered Ami, and immediately rushed out of the fire with her in his arms.
Changning saw Ming Xin lying not far away, and immediately ran over to take the person out.
Outside the hall, Xiaolian saw Changli coming out and immediately ran over, but Ami was covered by Changli's clothes, she looked at Changli's face, and didn't dare to ask more, just followed nervously.
After Chang Li came out, he walked out directly with Ami in his arms.
Changxian was bolder, and while following behind, he asked, "Fifth brother, how is she?" ”
Changli ignored him, and walked forward quickly without stopping.
Xiao Ce watched from the sidelines, and when he saw that the person came out, he was also relieved, and he raised his feet and followed.
Taifu and Mrs. Taifu also rushed over at this time, and when they saw the person in Changli's arms, they were shocked.
Changli stopped and looked at the two of them, his expression was cold, "Miss Ye's account, this king will calculate it in the future." ”
After that, he hugged Ami's head and left without looking back.
Seeing Changli like this, the two of them probably guessed something in their hearts, and while they were worried, they were also a little guilty.
At this moment, Changning came out of it with Mingxin in his arms.
When the two saw each other, they immediately didn't care much, and immediately stepped forward, looked at the unconscious Mingxin, and asked anxiously, "Lord, Xin'er, she ......?"
Changning didn't stop, and said as he walked, "Miss Ye should be fine, we have to hurry up and go back to the house to find someone for treatment." ”
When Mrs. Ye heard this, her eyes were red, and she said to the smoke that followed behind, "Hurry up!" Go to the doctor! ”
The smoke answered, and immediately ran out again.
On the other side, Changli placed Ami on the bed, gently removed the outer robe, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the doctor?" Why haven't you come here yet! ”
The person on the bed had no blood on his face, his lips were chapped, there were still traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, his cheeks were slightly red because of the fire, and he had a dagger in his shoulder, which dye half of the wedding dress crimson with blood.
Xiaolian looked at her and couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice, "I'...... I've already called someone to go, and I should still be on my way. ”
At this time, Xiao Ce walked in the door, and there was a rare trace of seriousness on his breezy face, "Just like she is now, she can hold on until the doctor comes over, get out of the way!" I got it! ”
Hearing this, Changli glanced back, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Ce chuckled, "You don't even know that such a big living person as me slipped into the house." ”
Chang Xian looked at his somewhat smug smile and pursed his lips disdainfully.
Xiaolian wiped her tears and explained on the side, "This is the young master of the Poison Medicine Sect, Xiao Ce. ”
Chang Li looked at Chang Xian with some questioning eyes.
Changxian reluctantly straightened up and muttered, "He...... It can be treated. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Ce had already walked to the side of the bed, glanced down, and frowned slightly.
Changli stared at him, then moved slightly to the side.
Xiao Ce looked at it for a while, suddenly touched his chin, and asked with some embarrassment, "Is this...... This dagger on her shoulder, do I pull it out or not? ”
Changli glanced at it and understood what he meant.
The dagger is stuck in the shoulder, and if you want to pull it out, there will inevitably be some physical contact.
Chang Li's eyes moved, the hand behind his back was tightly clenched into a fist, his bones were white, and he blurted out without hesitation, "Pull." ”
Xiao Ce curled the corners of his lips and looked at Xiaolian who was standing not far away, "Go prepare some hot water, candles, and daggers." ”
After hearing this, Xiaolian immediately turned around and went out to prepare.
Chang Xian on the side saw the dagger on his shoulder, thinking that he would have to bandage the wound later, so in order to avoid seeing things that should not be seen, he informed Chang Li and went back first.
After all, today's Ami is not only the boss lady at the beginning, but also his eldest sister-in-law.
When Xiao Ce saw the two leaving, he stood up, looked at Chang Li, and smiled lightly, "If I save the princess today, can the prince promise me one thing?" ”
Changli looked back at him, "What's the matter?" ”
"What's the matter...... I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll tell you when I'm ready. ”
Changli raised his eyebrows and looked at him, quite dangerous.
Xiao Ce's smile stiffened, and he added, "Anyway, it won't embarrass you." ”
Changli looked away and let out a salty "um".
After a while, Xiaolian came in with something.
Xiao Ce instructed her to put her things next to the bed, picked up the dagger, roasted it on the candle flame, and reached out to Ami's shoulder.
The hot tip of the knife was close to the skin, accompanied by the sharp pain of the dagger being slowly drawn, so that Ami couldn't help frowning tightly, her body arched slightly unconsciously, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
Changli looked at her, all kinds of emotions surging in his eyes, and his heart seemed to be tightening a string, as if it would break at any time.
The dagger was finally pulled out, and along with the dagger, there was a splash of blood.
Ami's body twitched in pain, let out a painful snort, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Ce took out a medicine bottle from his body, poured out some white powder on Ami's wound, wrung a hot towel and handed it to Xiaolian.
"Help her clean up the wound and don't touch the knife wound."
Xiaolian took the towel, knelt on the edge of the bed, looked at Ami's wound, and couldn't help but reddened her eyes again.
Xiao Ce stood up and walked towards the door, saying as he walked, "I'll write a medicine list later, and you can order someone to cook it, three times a day." ”
He stepped out of the door, but before he could take a step away, he stopped where he was, and his tone was rather unkind, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I heard that the dormitory is on fire, so I came over to take a look, is Yu'er okay?"
It was Xiao Ping's voice.
Xiao Ce walked past him lazily, "At your speed, when you come over, everyone will be dead." ”
Xiao Ping was a little annoyed, but now in this Rui Wangfu, he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to suppress it.
At this time, a long voice came from inside the house, "Yu'er is fine, she needs to recuperate, and the door owner should go back and rest early." ”
When Xiao Ping heard him say this, he felt a lot more relieved, sighed softly, turned his head to stare at Xiao Ce's back, and followed.
Xiaolian cleaned Ami's wounds, and Changli let her go down first.
In the middle of the night, flowing clouds came in through the door.
Changli glanced up at him and asked in a low voice, "How?" ”
Liuyun looked at the person on the bed, and also lowered his voice, "It's man-made." ”
"The servant who just bumped into the prince, his subordinates felt a little angry, so they followed, and it turned out that he went out of the palace and in the direction of the prince's mansion."
"What about the house? But what's going on? ”
"There are traces of someone turning over the study, presumably someone from the Taizi faction."
"Then why is Miss Ye in the house?"
Liuyun's face was embarrassed, "This ...... The subordinates have not yet learned. ”
Changli lowered his eyes and said lightly, "It's okay, you go down first." ”
Liuyun looked at Changli with some suspicion, and saw that he had no intention of leaving, so he retreated first.
Inside the house, Changli looked at the pale Ami, and for a moment he didn't know whether his original decision was right or wrong.
Wasn't he supposed to involve her in the first place?
He raised his hand and gently stroked his chest, where there was still some apprehension.
Since the death of his mother, he has not felt this fear of heart palpitations for a long time......
