Chapter 44: Scars

Xuan Mo said: "I don't worry that the princess is alone in the wild, so I came out to see, and by chance I met people from Yueyue Villa and Zhen'an Dart Bureau attacking Qingfeng Village, I was curious for a while, and I thought about coming over to explore the situation, and I happened to meet the princess assassinating Shu Zhao." ”

Changshu sneered: "By chance? Just right? ”

"Isn't that a little too much of a coincidence? Do you believe this when you say it? ”

Xuan Mo's expression was calm: "Believe." ”

Changshu was blocked by him, frowning, and her eyes were already a little impatient.

Xuan Mo said: "I don't mean to follow the princess, and I'm not from Shu Zhao's side, so the princess doesn't have to be so guarded against me." ”

Changshu said: "You are not from Shu Zhao's side, you are from the second prince's side, the second prince and the third prince are fighting fiercely, of course you and Shu Zhao will not be in the same group." ”

Xuan Mo smiled bitterly: "If the princess doesn't believe me, forget it, but the princess really hates the royal family so much, doesn't she even want to call the royal brother?" ”

Changshu sneered: "What do you have to believe in?" ”

"You went to Huai'an Village under the pretense of being assassinated, but you just wanted to check my details, and wanted to see if I had anything to do with the Wen family, you suspected that the Guo family's case was done by me, and you tried everything to test me, why do you have to put on such an innocent appearance now."

"It's because Luo Qi came to Fengyang City a little more diligently, and you suspect that the remnants of the Wen family's lineage are hiding here, so you want to come and have a look?"

Changshu looked at him fixedly, didn't know what he thought, and asked, "Do you want to win the hearts of the army for the second prince, so you want to use the Wen family as a raft?" ”

Xuan Mo was speechless by her repeated questions.

He admitted that he did have bad intentions when he approached her at the beginning, but he didn't do anything to damage her these days, and he saved her tonight, thinking of this, Xuan Mo felt a little aggrieved: "If I had bad intentions towards the princess, I wouldn't have appeared here today, and I would have saved the princess." ”

Changshu didn't speak.

She didn't want to talk either.

Xuan Mo was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I'll heal the princess first, the second prince is still waiting for the princess to go back, if he knows that the princess is injured, he is afraid that he will not give up." ”

Changshu paused, raised his hand and took off the hood on his head, but he still didn't refuse him again.

Her current appearance is really not suitable for the young man to know, otherwise with his temper, he will have to blow up.

She looked at her surroundings and ascertained her position: "There is a hot spring on the mountain about ten miles to the east, and I will go there to rest and recuperate." ”

After Changshu finished speaking, he didn't ask for Xuan Mo's opinion, and it didn't matter if he liked to follow or not.

It's just that she just walked a few steps before she felt dizzy for a while, and the scene in front of her seemed to be a little blurry.

Changshu's face changed and changed, she tore off the cloak on her body violently, turned her head to look at her arm, and a long wound was already blue.

Xuanmo also saw it.

He looked at the wound and looked very ugly: "They actually smeared poison on the weapon. ”

Changshu didn't say a word, raised her hand to seal a few key points on her arm, and looked up at Xuan Mo: "It's not strange to smear poison, what are you doing so excited?" ”

"Do less of their despicable things?"

Xuan Mo pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Changshu looked at him: "Xuanmo, since you stood in line in the battle for the heir early, don't make a look of caring about me, I don't think I'm good enough to let you fall in love with me in such a short period of more than a month." ”

"Moreover, if you are really the kind of person who is obsessed with the love of children, you will not completely replace the position of the Wen family after the fall of the Wen family, and take charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in the nineteen border cities, and the power will be tilted towards the government and the opposition."

"I don't care what you're going to do, if you don't do anything that is my enemy, we can calmly pretend that we don't know each other's identities and get along like ordinary friends."

"If you stand on my side, we are enemies, enemies who will never die under the struggle for imperial power."

Xuan Mo wanted to refute, wanted to say that they would not be enemies, but he didn't know what came to mind, so he closed his mouth again.

Changshu smiled when she saw him speechless.

All their previous peace was an illusion, and now it is better to puncture it.

is not a particularly good relationship, so why make a look of caring for her?

Xuan Mo asked, "When did the princess know my identity?" ”

Changshu's tone was a little indifferent: "From the first time that guard under your command came to me. ”

Xuan Mo nodded and didn't ask any more.

Half an hour later, Changshu withdrew her clothes and soaked in the hot spring pool, washed the blood stains on her body, she wore a skirt that Xuan Mo didn't know where to go, stretched out an arm and let Xuan Mo bandage her wounds.

There was a few inches long cut on the white arm, and the skin on the edge of the wound was open, which looked particularly terrifying.

Xuan Mo sprinkled medicine on her wound, and was hesitating whether to sew it up for her, when she heard Changshu say: "It's good if you bandage me, I can close the medicine I prepared myself, I will be able to close it tomorrow, be careful not to collapse." ”

Xuan Mo nodded.

He took the gauze and circled Changshu's arm a few times, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a more hideous and terrifying scar on the back of Changshu's arm, the scar protruding from the surface of the skin on the arm, like a scar left by something burned.

Xuanmo's pupils shrank, and the movements in his hands involuntarily stopped: "This is?" ”

Changshu followed his gaze and looked at him, his gaze clear.

"Burned."

"But, how?"

The eldest princess, no matter how unfavored she is, how can she leave such scars on her body?

Changshu asked him: "Princess Chenhuan has an injury on her body, and she has been calling the imperial doctor to see her, haven't you checked it?" ”

Changshu didn't believe that he was such a foolish person, and after getting along with her for so long, he didn't notice that something was wrong and didn't check her identity.

Xuan Mo replied to her honestly: "I thought it was an illusion created by the princess. ”

Changshu looked at the scar on his arm, was silent for a long time, and said: "The fire in the East Palace back then, the crown prince and brother died under the assassination in order to protect me, I wanted to leave the palace with the prince and brother, but I was blocked by the fire in the courtyard of the imperial brother. ”

"This scar is because the beam on the hall was on fire at that time, and I blocked it for the imperial brother and was burned."

Not only on the arms, but also on the back.

It took a lot of effort for Changshu to make the scar fade a lot, so as not to affect her daily actions, but if she wants to return to her original appearance, I am afraid that it will take a long time.

This is based on her own excellent medical skills.

Speaking of it now, Changshu's tone is still a little low, I don't know if it's because of these scars or because of the past: "It's okay if others can't see it when they wear clothes horizontally." ”
