”The one with you, isn't that your husband? ”Listen to my old man. You were together when I found you by the river.” The aunt wrung out the towel and wiped her hands as she spoke.
Ninth Prince! Lian Ruyue's heart trembled. She used her hand to support her head; it should be because she fell from a high place and was washed so far by the river. Her mind felt a moment of confusion …
”Where is he now? Auntie, take me to see it. ” She pulled back the sheet to get out of bed, but when she stood up she felt a dizzy sensation in her foot, and as soon as her hand touched the edge of the bed she felt a sharp pain and fell back onto the bed.
”Hey, girl, don't worry. Your hand is broken, so you need to take good care of it. Your husband is in the other room, and he still hasn't woken up. Seeing Lian Xiyue anxious to get off the bed, the aunt quickly threw away the handkerchief and supported her.
Lian Ruyue composed herself, letting herself calm down, and said, ”Aunt, please help me go over to his side to take a look, I need to make sure if he's safe or not.”
”Alright, alright. Slow down. Don't be in such a hurry, young lady.” The aunt supported Lian Ruyue with her arms and walked out of the room.
When she first took a step, her legs were in so much pain that it felt like they had been crushed. She had to walk a few steps to get used to it.
”Miss, you're awake.” Walking out of the house, she saw an old man carrying a dustpan, inside it was some dried fishy grass. She had noticed earlier that there were shadows of Chinese medicine on the walls, it seemed that this family was skilled in medicine.
”This is my family's old man. He and me, Nan'er, rescued you. Nan'er went up the mountain to gather herbs. He will only be back at lunch time.” The aunt explained on the side.
”Thank you, sir.” Lian Ruyue nodded towards the old man and said.
”It's no big deal, girl. Are you feeling better?” The grandpa put down the dustpan and asked with a kind smile on his face.
”Much better.”
”Miss, your husband is in this room. He hasn't woken up yet. Come in.” Obviously, this lord also thought that the ninth prince was her husband, but Lian Ruyue did not deny it. When she walked out of the room earlier, she had quickly put aside everything that had happened.
Right now, she was very sure that someone was going to kill her and the Ninth Prince. The two of them fell off the cliff, and since those people didn't find their bodies, they would definitely continue to chase. Right now, they were still in danger.
Therefore, there was no need to explain too much to others right now.
With a ”squeak” sound, he pushed open the door. Even the crescent moon could see Feng Yunzheng lying on the simple and crude wooden bed. His eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his body was covered with a blanket. He had been shot in the shoulder to protect her, she remembered.
Lian Ruyue slowly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. His face was even paler than before, and his lips were somewhat dark. She gently lifted a corner of the blanket — —
He frowned slightly, the corners of his lips pursed. His upper body was naked, exposing a strong chest. The muscles on his chest were tight, and his shoulders were wrapped. A trace of blood seeped out from the white gauze.
He lay there silently, completely different from the imposing figure that was galloping through the world.
From the looks of it, he seemed to have been severely injured, even more seriously than she was. It must have been to protect her. Her heart clenched tightly into a knot.
”Lady, there's something I think I should let you know.” The lord said with a heavy tone.
”What's wrong, sir?” Lian Ru Yue's heart sank. Her intuition told her that what he wanted to say had something to do with the Ninth Prince.
That arrow in his hand is poisonous. I have already cleaned it up for him and have also concocted an understanding of the medicine to feed to him. However, it has been separated for a long time and could not be completely cleaned up. The old man said.
