C285 (1/2)

Ye Chong coughed twice, and drank a bowl of water from Jingjing's hand.

He lay down again, panting for a moment.

”I'm fine. It's just some superficial wounds. I didn't injure any muscles or bones.” Ye Chong's voice also changed.

It sounded like the friction of a rusty blunt instrument.

Jing Jing pursed her lips, holding back the lump in her throat, she looked at Ye Chong and said, ”You rest here first, we'll talk about this later. I'll call the royal physician over first.”

Saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Before he could walk out, his hand was grabbed.

Jingjing turned around and looked at Ye Chong.

Ye Chong held Jing Jing's hand tightly and shook her head, ”There's no need to go.”

Jingjing knitted her brows, feeling that something was wrong with Ye Chong. ”Why don't we go? ”If you don't go, how will your injuries heal?”

A rare bitter smile appeared on Ye Chong's lips as she said reluctantly, ”It's alright. These past two days …” I will leave. ”

”Leave?” Jing Jing looked at Ye Chong in surprise. ”Where are you going?”

Ye Chong smiled again. It was a bitter smile.

When others looked at him, they couldn't help but feel heartache. They just couldn't bear to see him in such a state.

Ye Chong was a cold and taciturn person to Jingjing.

However, he seemed more like someone who would not fall down or suffer.

Now that Jingjing looked at him, she knew how wrong she was.

It wasn't that he wasn't sad. Rather, it should be said that there was a huge secret buried deep in his heart.

Ye Chong looked at Jing Jing who was in a daze and said, ”Return to where I belong. I always belonged there. I've been gone for too long. Now …” It's time to go back. ”

Seeing him in such a state, Jingjing couldn't help but ask, ”Where?”

Ye Chong didn't say anything, she only smiled at Jingjing and said, ”My injuries are fine, I'll be able to recuperate for two days and move freely.”

Jingjing nodded with a smile and didn't say anything more.

Ye Chong turned her head slightly to look out the window and said, ”There's something I want to tell you. Remember.”

Jing Jing's eyebrows twitched, she could feel that the next thing Ye Chong wanted to say was very important.

She nodded, got up and closed the door. She looked around to make sure that there was no one around before she heaved a sigh of relief.

When she reached Ye Chong's bedside, she had already struggled to her feet, her forehead beaded with sweat.

His face was pale and his lips were bloodless.

Jing Jing saw this and could not bear to see it anymore. She gently said, ”What is it ….” Just say it. ”

Ye Chong furrowed her brows, as if her injury had been affected.

After resting for a while, he looked at Jingjing and said, ”I saw Nangong Xiu.”

”You saw Nangong Xiu?” Surprised, Ye Chong grabbed her arm.

He was too excited to see the pain in Ye Chong's eyes.

Ye Chong continued to nod, and said to Jingjing, ”He'll sneak into the mansion, and you'll recognize him.”

Jing thought for a moment, she suppressed the shock and excitement in her heart, looked at Ye Chong and said, ”Are you sure he will come?”

Ye Chong nodded.

Jing Jing thought about it again.

Logically speaking, the majority of the people selected by Manager Zheng were people Jingjing had seen before.

Even if he hadn't taken a closer look, it was something that he had met before and was observed by Jingjing.

None of those people looked like him.

The only one who looked alike seemed to have not been chased away by Manager Zheng yet.

Then...

”Has he already snuck in?” Jingjing looked at Ye Chong with a serious face.

Ye Chong nodded, ”Yes.”

Jing Jing frowned, looked at Ye Chong and said, ”He sneaked in … Which one? What is your appearance like? ”

Ye Chong smiled slowly and said, ”I've already told him about this. At that time … If you were to meet him now, it would instead be easy for you to expose a flaw and cause others to suspect you. ”

Jing Jing thought for a moment, then decided to suppress the confusion and restlessness in her heart.

Ye Chong's words made sense.

Li Yue had repeatedly warned him not to let anyone from Nangong Xiu or Nangong Xiu inside.

Since Jingjing was so keen on observing Nangong Xiu that she couldn't tell who Nangong Xiu was pretending to be, then Manager Zheng must not be able to tell.

If Jingjing were to reveal a bit of a flaw at that time, it might even arouse suspicion.

I might as well wait until the election is over.

No matter what, the person who had elected Nangong Xiu should be able to keep his.

The fact that he was able to sneak in without anyone knowing proved that he was completely confident. Then … The next election would probably not be selected.

Thinking to this point, Jingjing's heart relaxed a little.
