Qian You and his second uncle hurried over and saw Qi Luobai supporting his body, his hands tightly pinching Xia Qi's neck, and looking nervously at the person who entered the room.

"Put down my maid. We saved you. You are not in danger now."

Qian You spoke up quickly to relieve his tension immediately.

"This is Dongcang Kyoto City. This is my second uncle Baili Ming. He encountered you when you were seriously injured at the border between Nanqi and Dongcang and rescued you."

The man's face was pale and cold, his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him, trying to find her mistakes.

The woman's calm temperament and beautiful appearance gave him an inexplicable sense of peace.

His grip slowly relaxed, and Xia Qi escaped from his tight grasp, coughing uncontrollably.

"Miss, I was scared to death. I felt his breath getting stronger, and I looked closely to see if he was about to wake up. This guy grabbed my neck all of a sudden and almost strangled me to death."

There was a circle of red marks on Xia Qi's fair neck, and it was obvious that the man had left no room for maneuver.

"You guys go down first, I'll take a look at him."

"Okay, young lady, you should also be careful of this brat. He doesn't know what's good for him. So many people have tried to save him, and they are still injured, but he wakes up and does evil things. Humph!"

Xia Qi glared fiercely at the half-grown boy on the bed and walked out angrily.

The door closed and Qian You slowly walked to the bed.

"Don't be nervous. We have no ill intentions. We really did save you on the road."

"I am a doctor. Let me take a look at your injuries now."

She explained patiently, trying to keep her tone calm.

She knew that people would have stress reactions when being hunted, so she tried her best to make him relax.

Qi Luobai closed his lips tightly, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were light brown, and his eyelashes fluttered like a pair of small brushes, indicating that he was very nervous.

The woman in front of him bent down, and with her soft and gentle fingers, she untied the fine cloth on his chest. When her fingers touched his skin, it felt a little numb.

The woman's cool temperament and lively eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

She saw his nervousness and gave him a soothing look, which really soothed him at that moment.

This was the first time someone could comfort him with their eyes since his mother's death.

Smelling the pleasant floral scent of the woman approaching him, the same gardenia scent as his mother's, his body slowly relaxed.

"You have a very good physique. You are lucky that you didn't get a more serious infection after being injured for more than ten days. Fortunately, your second uncle gave you the best medicine right away. You should be thankful that you met us."

Qi Luobai looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the table. He had a strong figure and a serious face, and was looking at him intently, which made him alert again.

"Don't worry, we have no ill intentions. Second uncle was doing business in Nanqi, and on his way back to Dongcang, he was crossing the mountains and forests and happened to see you lying unconscious on the ground. We saved you out of humanitarianism, without any ulterior motives."

Qian You's voice was extremely soothing, and every word he said perfectly explained the fear he had imagined in his heart.

"Your internal injuries are very serious. If you want to fully recover, you will need about half a month to recuperate. You also have chronic poisoning. When your body recovers a little, I will remove the poison for you."

Qi Luobai's eyes changed slightly.

This woman, who seemed to be the same age as him, had extraordinary medical skills.

His poison was hidden very deeply, and it was only a few months ago that his father discovered that he had been given a chronic poison that had accumulated to a certain extent.

Nanqi's imperial doctors all said there was no way to cure it.

It is also for this reason that his father is worried about his health, and the imperial doctors in the palace are all controlled by the Ninth Uncle.

In order to save his life, his father, who was exhausted, sent the most powerful secret guard battalion around him to escort him to the border of Dongcang to find his uncle, General Zhenwei Lu Wei.

Along the way, he was hunted down by his cousin Qi Luozhou, and the last few secret guards sacrificed their lives to protect him.

After being seriously injured, he escaped to the mountains with his last breath.

The moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to see his mother's worried eyes.

He never thought that there would be a day when he would open his eyes again.

The woman carefully applied medicine to his wound and took out a pill that glowed with a dark golden light. He was very surprised.

There is such a healing pill in the palace, which is worth a fortune. There is only one of it, and it was bought at a high price at the Qianmai Palace auction a year ago.

He watched the woman calmly bring the medicine to his mouth.

He opened his mouth woodenly, and the pill melted in his mouth. A stream of warm current flowed through his limbs and bones, instantly restoring his internal strength.

He looked at the woman hesitantly.

"Take one healing pill a day. I estimate your internal injuries will be healed in ten days. After that, I will detoxify you."

He was even more surprised. He was given one pill of this kind every day?

Who is she?

Why is there such strength?

Ten days.

He spent his time in anxiety and inquiry.

Take one healing pill a day, the effect is amazing.

His internal injuries had fully recovered, and the knife wound on his chest had begun to scab over.

The three meals a day were nutritious, and many of the foods were the first time he had eaten them. They tasted delicious and he was secretly surprised.

His strength quickly recovered and his complexion regained a healthy glow.

He made sure that no one was monitoring his freedom.

But he was not sure whether this place was dangerous, so he did not dare to leave the yard easily.

Besides the middle-aged man and the pretty and dashing young woman, there were also two maids entering and leaving his yard.

One was as quiet as a shadow, and the other was a chatterbox, the little girl he almost strangled to death the first time he saw her.

He was a little embarrassed, but the little girl kept nagging him, so she apologized on his behalf and expressed her acceptance of the apology. She was full of energy and kept replacing his daily necessities every day.

He calculated the time, and on the eleventh day, the voice that made him feel inexplicably at ease came from outside the yard again.

Three people appeared in his house.

A young and elegant man and a middle-aged man sat at the table by themselves, while the woman walked to the bed.

"You have basically recovered. Don't lie down every day. You can move around and walk around. But it's best to stay in this yard and don't go out."

Qi Luobai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked warily at the woman who was about his age.

"Don't worry, I won't restrict your freedom, but you don't have the ability to protect yourself yet, so it's not safe for you to go out."

He frowned.

For all these days, no one had taken the initiative to ask about his background and origins, which made him a little suspicious. Did they know something?

"Just lie down. I'll start detoxifying you today. It'll take three days for you to fully recover."

He was suspicious, but he followed his instructions and lay down slowly.

In short, she is really trying to save him, no matter what the purpose is, so just trust her for now.

When he was ten years old, his mother passed away, his father was heartbroken, and his ninth uncle took control of the government and no longer hid his ambitions. His life was like walking on the edge of a knife, with people around him betraying him one by one. He learned to hide and no longer trust anyone.

The woman took out a set of gold needles and quickly inserted the needles into the acupuncture points on his chest. Then, she used the dagger handed to her by the young man to cut the middle finger of his right hand before he could react.

The black blood dripped into the copper basin that had been prepared in advance, so fast that he couldn't react.

He was horrified and stared at the woman without blinking his eyes.
