22 Struggle
But in the blink of an eye, due to the severe pain in her shoulder, Wei Shuyao had already rolled down and fell to the ground.
Her head hit the edge of the bed, and her forehead immediately became red and swollen, and her whole body was twisted into twists in pain.
Rao is like this, she didn't forget to pull Xie Mingyi's arm and press him under her.
She was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and the blood flowed like a torrent, dripping on Xie Mingyi's blue robe, and immediately disappeared, leaving only a small trace of wet water stains.
Although she had long felt guilty about him, she was also a little surprised by the actions she had just made subconsciously.
But Xie Mingyi didn't ask her out loud, those lacquer-colored eyes were as deep as a deep pool, and there was no wave.
When Dudu's eyes fell on the wet marks on his robe, his thin lips pursed as if he were clenching his teeth.
Xie Mingyi tore Wei Shuyao away, lifted the brocade quilt and raised her backhand, enveloping her, and then left her in the house and kicked the door open.
The sound of fighting outside was already boiling, and the smell of blood in the air was cool. The weapons scattered on the ground reflected the candlelight, which was somewhat dazzling.
Several people broke through the guards and raised their knives to kill Xie Mingyi.
Xie Mingyi didn't care, he just looked at the cascading eaves in the distance, and the person hiding there to shoot arrows was gone.
His brow furrowed slightly, a short blade appeared in his palm, and with a flick of his wrist, the sharp blade slashed through the assassin's neck. The other hand grabbed the close assassin's arm and kicked him straight out.
As soon as Changshun came out of the room on the other side, he was splashed with blood.
didn't wait for him to get close, but saw his master casually pick up a long sword on the ground, his lips hooked slightly, and his eyes were fierce.
Wherever the blade passed, even the secret guards had to be careful not to be injured by mistake.
It's like Shura coming to the world, almost killing his eyes.
In a moment's effort, the court was already full of corpses and a sea of blood. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people sick to their stomachs.
Xie Mingyi held the long sword in his hand, stared gloomily at the only remaining assassin on the ground, and walked over step by step.
The blade made a screeching sound on the ground.
"Don't, don't kill meββ! I'll give it all! The only living mouth left was obviously not a backbone, his limbs were broken, and he was still twisting and wriggling on the ground, "It's the prince of Rui, it's him......"
Xie Mingyi's eyes were cold, and he swung his sword violently, splitting the man's body, without giving him a chance to speak again.
A few drops of blood splashed on his cheeks, slowly sliding down, drawing a bright red mark on that delicate countenance, beautiful and eerie.
Xie Mingyi lowered his eyes, and the tails of his eyes were invaded by murderous aura and dyed scarlet.
He threw his sword and paced into the house.
Xie Mingyi tore open the brocade quilt and fixed his eyes on the broken arrow on Wei Shuyaoxue's shoulder.
He stared at her with dark eyes, a tightness in his chest, and indescribable complex emotions came out.
"How's the injury?" The voice is cold.
"It's just a little painful......" Wei Shuyao shook her head with a white face and bit her lip. Due to excessive excitement, the lip flap was bitten very hard, revealing a strange red.
Xie Mingyi's gaze froze on the delicate red, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
All day long, Xie Mingyi was actually in an extremely gloomy state.
When he got up in the morning, he knew that Xie Mingjin had a damn dirty mind about Wei Shuyao, and he was disgusted.
At night, he listened to other men pleading for her, and listened to Dong Xing's past actions, which aroused the anger hidden in his heart even more.
He could have had more important things to deal with. During the day, he went to investigate the road conditions, in order to solve the ridiculous and dirty means and protect the life of Mrs. Lu. Even a moment before he went to see her, he was dealing with Beidi's details.
But tonight...... He finally decided to come over to meet her first.
Xie Mingyi stepped forward suddenly, and his fingertips slowly moved from her cheeks to her neck, slowly rubbing the side of her neck.
He wondered if he had killed her, and he would never have the feeling of losing control that night again.
However, the restlessness in my heart finally turned into a few simple words: "But where else is it hurt?" β
Wei Shuyao shook her head slightly, and the pain in her shoulder made her face more and more pale.
Xie Mingyi pressed his thumb against her cheek and gently wiped away the tears that had slipped from her frightened.
Wei Shuyao obviously noticed his strangeness, but she didn't have time to think deeply, the injury on her shoulder hurt so much that she almost fainted.
She barely bothered herself, and was about to stagger to her feet, when a scorching weight came from her body, and the heat stretched out from her back, like a warm velvet wrapping around herβ
Xie Mingyi leaned down and hugged her horizontally, he moved very lightly and carefully placed her on the couch.
Wei Shuyao smelled the strong smell of blood on his body and held her breath.
He will kill men, and kill many...... It coincides with the situation in the dream.
Wei Shuyao's scalp was numb, but Xie Mingyi's hot breathing suddenly came from her ears. He seemed to sniff at the socket of her neck, almost in her ear.
"You go back first, and we'll talk about the sketch tomorrow. Lonely has something important to do tonight. His voice was low and cold, sounding a little muffled, "Changshun will come to bandage your wounds, you bear with it." β
Seeing Wei Shuyao's head, Xie Mingyi left the house and carefully closed the wooden door.
He was about to turn to leave the corridor, but his steps were staggering, and he lowered his eyes to stare at his blood-stained hands.
"Bring a basin of cold water."
Changshun was stunned for a moment, didn't dare to delay, hurriedly brought water over, and waited for Xie Mingyi to clean his hands.
Xie Mingyi put his hands in the basin of water and soaked them for a long time, until the biting cold spread to his limbs and bones, and it was cold to the bottom of his heart, and he could suppress the anger in his heart.
But the rapid exclamation in his mind lingered, and together with the slender figure that rushed over, it was engraved in the bottom of his eyes, and kept flashing back.
"Shen Yi!"
Xie Mingyi closed his eyes, only to feel that when she pounced, her cold wrist clasped his arm, like Qiongyue reflected in the sky.
It was obviously an extremely cold Qinghui, but it made his blood boil a little.
The moment the arrow broke through the window, he knew that it was coming at him, so he didn't deliberately pull Wei Shuyao away, and even the direction of dodging was already calculated in his heart.
But he never expected it......
Just thinking about it, Changshun hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the injury on Miss Wei's shoulder, although the injury is not serious, I am afraid of fever......
"You let the palace maids around her keep an eye on her." Xie Mingyi's face paused slightly, and he said again: "By the way, I will give her the flavor pill that Gu often uses." β
Changshun was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Your Highness, do you want to go and see it later?" β
There was an eerie silence.
After a while, he heard Xie Mingyi sneer coldly.
"There is a handmaid to take care of her, what is she going to do alone?"
When Changshun retreated with a bitter face, why did he feel that his master's fingers that kept rubbing in cold water looked so awkward?
It's as if you want to extinguish all the distractions that have nowhere to put them......
When Liang Jin jumped from the eaves, he narrowly stepped on the broken limbs scattered everywhere, and he was also shocked for a moment.
Half an hour ago, just as Xie Mingyi led Wei Shuyao out of the room, Liang Jin left the courtyard and was ordered to investigate the origin of today's assassin.
Liang Jin is very skilled, entering and leaving the major residences as if he is in a no-man's land, and he actually found a secret letter in Xie Mingjin's room.
Liang Jin handed the secret letter to Xie Mingyi, and sighed: "I never thought that the prince of Rui Wang intercepted the secret letter of Xizuo, but did not report it to His Royal Highness, and allowed the assassin to commit murder, which caused this catastrophe. β
The master has been in a bad mood lately, and they don't dare to disturb him from time to time. The dark line around Xie Mingjin had an accident a few days ago, and before the master had time to install a new dark line, this kind of thing happened when the green and yellow were not connected.
Because the assassins in the daytime have been wiped out, everyone has relaxed their vigilance slightly, but they don't know that there is a second wave of assassination.
Liang Jin hung his head and didn't dare to say more.
It is true that Xie Mingjin's interception of the secret letter has caused a lot of trouble to the master, but it is their secret guards who are more responsible at the moment.
Liang Jin secretly complained there, and said in his heart that he was the first master under the master, but he was sent to take care of Wei Shuyao, if he had been by the master's side, how could something happen?
"Your Highness, can the villain come back tomorrow, you have been stabbed repeatedly, and your safety is at stake......" He couldn't help but whisper.
Xie Mingyi stared at the secret letter carefully, rubbing the bloodstains on the letter with his fingertips, thoughtful.
The handwriting on the secret letter was quite similar to the Wei Ming letter he had read.
Liang Jin saw that Xie Mingyi was looking at it intently, and knew that the master was deliberately deaf, so he had to shut up.
"Inform General Shen of what was stated in the secret letter, and you don't need to keep it here." Xie Mingyi put away the secret letter, folded it into his sleeve, and commanded in a cold voice.
Liang Jin hurriedly responded, jumped onto the eaves, and hesitated for a moment before jumping away.
It's not the first time that the master has been assassinated, how can he feel quite unhappy this time, the anger that soars to the sky...... It almost creeps him out.
ββββ
Wei Shuyao walked back to the house alone, and bumped into the panicked Baozhi.
"Girl! You're back! She already knew that there was an assassin in the prince's compartment, and when she got up, she didn't see Wei Shuyao, she was anxious and panicked, and she walked around the house.
Wei Shuyao was silent, bypassed her, and sat down on the couch.
Baozhi looked at the wound and bandage on her shoulder, and her face was frightened again, and she hurriedly stepped forward to change her clothes, and stuffed a hand stove for her.
"What's going on, how did the girl get hurt?"
Wei Shuyao lowered her eyes, her fingers rubbing the hand stove in her arms, again and again.
When she raised her eyes, her face was already as usual, and her eyebrows and eyes returned to her usual quiet appearance.
"It's okay, I passed by His Highness's courtyard and accidentally hit an arrow."
She even curled her lips and comforted Baozhi with a smile, "Changshun has given me medicine, and I'll be fine after a good night's sleep." β
Baozhi was worried, but she was also unable to do so, so she had to accompany her silently and talk to distract her.
Wei Shuyao was always absent-minded and in a trance. Holding the hand stove in her arms, she listened to Baozhi tell interesting stories about her childhood, talking about the specialties of Hezhou, and looked at Baozhi's eyes quietly and peacefully.
When the sky was bright and Changshun came over to spread the word and asked them to pack up and prepare to leave, Wei Shuyao slowly got up, let Baozhi help her, and walked out of the house.
"It's cold outside, and the girl still wears more clothes." Poeda let go of his hand and turned back.
"Wait......" Wei Shuyao suddenly whispered.
Wei Shuyao's body is not strong, but yesterday in the ice cellar-like room, she sat for a day in order to draw pictures, and she was already a little cold. She was tired before, and she relied on the life-saving pills her father gave her to keep her from getting sick.
However, the medicine had been taken two days ago.
Wei Shuyao held on to the door frame, only to feel that the sky was spinning, and there were bursts of dizziness in front of her, and cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
"I seem to ...... I can't hold it anymore. β
She gasped, the pain in her shoulder became more and more obvious, the blunt knife cut the flesh, the stove in her hand gradually became unable to hold it, and her body became more and more weak.
Baozhi threw away the big one in a panic, hurriedly supported Wei Shuyao, who was going soft, and shouted at the back of Changshun leaving-
"Grandpa Cui!"
Her voice was so sharp that it pierced the sky like the cry of a night owl.
Xie Mingyi stood in front of the carriage, and after ordering Changshun to invite Wei Shuyao to travel, he looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, his eyes were slightly downcast.
Due to heavy snowfall, the spring harvest trip was delayed for two days, and the emperor was already a little dissatisfied. He didn't want to be unhappy with the emperor at this time, so as not to delay his planning.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Changshun come back. Xie Mingyi was about to turn around and order Liang Jin, when he saw a figure rushing towards him in the distance.
"Your Highness, the girl has fainted."
Changshun gasped and glanced at Xie Mingyi cautiously.
"I heard Baozhi say that yesterday the girl had a cold in order to draw pictures, and she was injured again at night......"
Xie Mingyi raised his eyes suddenly.
ββββ
It was getting late, and the dark clouds were falling, like a haze covering the earth, which made people feel depressed.
The carriage moved slowly along the mountain road, and the walls of the carriage swayed.
Baozhi stood by Wei Shuyao's side, his eyes red.
In her childhood memory, whenever the little master was sick and lying on the couch, the grass and trees in the house were all soldiers in those days, and the prince stayed by the little master's side all day long, never leaving an inch, for fear that she would fall asleep.
Later, she learned that the little master had fallen into the water and suffered from the cold when he was young, leaving the root of the disease, which usually looked the same, but as long as it was winter, she had to take care of it carefully, so as not to stimulate the weak body foundation of typhoid fever.
These days of getting along, she has long regarded Wei Shuyao as a benefactor, and sincerely hopes that Wei Shuyao can be safe and healthy.
"Father-in-law Liang, we can be regarded as acquaintances, can I bother you to report to His Highness and invite a doctor to come and take a look?" Baozhi sniffed, turned around and asked Liang Jin.
Liang Jin frowned and didn't speak. He already knew about Wei Shuyao blocking the arrows for his master, and his thoughts were complicated.
Baozhi's lips trembled, and she barely smiled, "Although Gonggong Cui has already drugged the girl, she has been unconscious, which is really worrying......"
Liang Jin was about to tell her that he had already reported it, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated and didn't know how to speak gently.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Two knobby fingers slowly lifted the curtain of the car.
"Your Highness?" Liang Jin looked stunned, and Baozhi was busy subconsciously tucking the quilt corner for Wei Shuyao.
Xie Mingyi entered the carriage with a hint of coldness, followed by a gentle-looking young man.
"Doctor He, show her." His voice was flat.
Baozhi's eyes were shocked, and he recognized that behind him was the famous trauma saint hand of the Tai Hospital, He Qinian.
Before she could speak, Liang Jin had already touched her arm and asked her to get out of the car with him.
He Qinian didn't dare to delay, and was busy checking Wei Shuyao's pulse.
After a while, he whispered: "Your Highness, don't worry, this girl is just weak, and her heart has fluctuated for several days, and her injury has made it worse." I will prescribe a prescription, and then cooperate with His Highness's dressing, and I will be safe and sound. β
Xie Mingyi let out an "um" and watched He Qinian slowly retreat and leave the carriage.
He didn't say a word, but He Qinian was covered in a cold sweat, knowing that he must not say more than half a word, so he was busy changing places to pick up a pen and write a prescription.
Xie Mingyi half-knelt on the ground, and his eyes fell on Wei Shuyao's pale face.
"Brother......" Wei Shuyao looked pained and whimpered in her sleep.
Xie Mingyi's eyebrows furrowed, and he reached into her wrist, which was hot, almost several times higher than his body heat.
After a while, he withdrew his hand.
saw Wei Shuyao's lips flattened, and suddenly she sobbed softly.
"Brother, don't hit him......"
"Shen Yi, you, you go quickly......"
Xie Mingyi was stunned.
After a long time, he leaned down and took her in his arms.
Then, slowly tightening the crook of the arm.
"Don't sleep...... If you don't wake up, Lone will capture your brother. β
"Wei Shuyao, Li Ligu."
