Gu Ruoxi didn't feel dizzy, she just had no strength left.

This body is too weak! It hasn't recovered to its peak yet, and I used my mother's spiritual energy today.

Gu Ruoxi looked at Nangong Yu and wanted to cry.

She thought that she could just lie back and relax as long as she had the support of the prince and the love of her mother-in-law, the marquis' wife.

But I didn't expect that the old marquis' wife was a bad person.

"Prince, they want to kill me."

The Marquis's wife who rushed over just happened to hear these words!

"They dare!"

Seeing her well-behaved daughter-in-law turned into a bloody mess, the Marquis’ wife felt extremely distressed:

"Yu'er, take Xi'er back quickly. Madam Yang, quickly ask Doctor Yang to come and check on Xi'er. Qingqiu... where is Qingqiu!"

Jiu Huan brought out the tied up Qing Qiu from a side room, with a cloth gagged in Qing Qiu's mouth.

When she was brought out, she saw the blood-red person at a glance. It was the young lady.

Her current master! She failed to protect her master.

Qingqiu's tears fell like rain, woo... woo...

Qingfeng found that Qingqiu's mouth was blocked, so he stepped forward and pulled the handkerchief out of Qingqiu's mouth, and Jiuhuan untied Qingqiu's rope.

Qingqiu crawled to Nangong Yu on her knees. Looking at the bloody Gu Ruoxi, Qingqiu kowtowed repeatedly:

"sorry Sorry sorry!"

Nangong Yu didn’t know what she was saying sorry for, but at the moment, she failed to protect her master.

Nangong Yu looked at her coldly.

"Qingyi, you and Jiuhuan, lock up everyone inside, alive or dead. I will come back to interrogate the young lady after I take good care of her."

The Marquis, who had not yet changed out of his blood-stained clothes, was extremely shocked!

What on earth happened here?

This is the old marquis's wife's courtyard. Why did she make Gu Ruoxi look like a bloody person? She also said that the people inside wanted to kill her.

What did mother do!

The Marquis was about to walk in when Nangong Yu, who was being carried by the guards and turned around, said coldly:

"If you interfere in this matter, I will immediately make Changyong Marquis Mansion a thing of the past."

The Marquis paused.

He knew that Nangong Yu could do it!

Nangong Yu looked at his long-time attendant Xu An and a guard Chang Huan who were following behind the Marquis:

"Take your Lordship back to the study."

Nangong Yu looked down at Gu Ruoxi in his arms. The wound on her face was too deep, blood was still oozing out, and the skin was turned inside out.

This is going to ruin a woman's face.

"Mom, come with me and take good care of Ruoxi. I will handle this matter."

At this moment, Nangong Yuru seemed to have taken over the murderous aura that Gu Ruoxi had removed. He just sat there, making people who stood close to him feel very cold.

Madam Hou held a handkerchief with trembling hands and tried to cover Gu Ruoxi's wound. Nangong Yu blocked her:

"Mom, you can't cover it. I'll use some blood-stopping medicine later."

Madam Hou cried and murmured:

"They are crazy, they are crazy!"

Nangong Yu hugged Gu Ruoxi tightly and asked the guards to speed up their pace.

Nanny Yang had already run off to look for her cousin, Doctor Yang.

The marquis's wife and a few maids followed Nangong Yu to Chaohui Courtyard.

Shuqi and Huaqi were so frightened when they saw the young lady being carried back covered in blood that they didn't know what to do.

Mo Yi roared:

"Go boil some water."

Qingfeng also went to help, while Qingqiu and Qinglan went to make the couch in the room. It would be more convenient to treat the young lady's injury by placing it on the couch.

After the guards brought the chair in, Qingqiu and Qingfeng stepped forward and lifted Gu Ruoxi to put her on the couch.

Only then did they realize that before Gu Ruoxi fell unconscious, she had her hands tightly grasping Nangong Yu's belt.

Nangong Yu wanted to take her hand away, but found that she was holding it very tightly. If he tried to force it open, he might hurt her fingers.

"Mo Yi, come and help me. Lift me up and sit on the couch. I'll hold the young lady."

Nangong Yu held Gu Ruoxi, Mo Yi held Nangong Yu's upper body, and a guard held Nangong Yu's legs, and together they moved Nangong Yu onto the couch.

"Go and help Qingyi to separate those people and prevent anyone from talking to each other. As long as they are not fatal, don't treat them first. I will deal with them later."

"Yes!"

Mo Yi went out.

Qingqiu brought a bucket of hot water, and Qingfeng brought a basin of cloth, ready to help Gu Ruoxi wipe the blood off her face and neck. Her clothes were also soaked in blood, and were uncomfortable to wear.

Qingqiu found a set of clean clothes:

"Sir, let us help the young lady change her clothes."

Nangong Yu also wanted to, but this guy held his belt tightly with one hand.

Qingqiu knelt beside the couch and reached out to help Gu Ruoxi untie her belt.

Half of the white dress was dyed red.

Qingqiu gently took off Gu Ruoxi's coat, but unexpectedly some blood had seeped into it, and also onto her underwear.

"Sir, the young lady's leg is also injured!"

Nangong Yu turned his head to look, and sure enough, there was a cut on the snow-white calf. The wound was also bleeding, although it was not as deep as the wound on the face.

Nangong Yu hurriedly checked the side closer to him, fortunately, there was no injury there, it seemed that it was only on the face and legs.

The Marquis's wife also came with her little maid. She had just gone back to her room to get some good herbs. They would be ready to use as soon as Madam Yang invited Doctor Yang to come.

"Yu'er, mother is here to help Xi'er change her clothes."

With the help of two maids and the marquis's wife, Gu Ruoxi's coat was taken off.

The other hand tightly grasped Nangong Yu's. Nangong Yu asked someone to bring a pair of scissors, cut the sleeve on that side, and took it off.

Among the medicines that Madam Hou brought, there was one that could stop bleeding.

Nangong Yu also recognized it. It was a kind of hemostatic powder prescribed by Old Doctor Yang, but Nangong Yu did not dare to use it carelessly.

"Mom, wait a moment, let's talk about it after Uncle Yang comes. This medicine can stop bleeding, but this is Xier's face. I'm afraid that after using this medicine, the wound will heal and calluses will form."

With that said, Madam Hou didn't dare to use it. She could only wipe the wound area around Gu Ruoxi and wait for Doctor Yang to come.

Nangong Yu took the wet warm towel from Qingfeng and gently wiped the blood off Gu Ruoxi's neck. He also slowly wiped off the rest of the blood on her face, otherwise it would dry and stick to her skin, which would be very uncomfortable.

Qingqiu had been kneeling on the ground, cleaning the wound on Gu Ruoxi's leg.

Madam Hou helped pass the wet cloth, because Nangong Yu would not let anyone else help him wipe it, he only wiped it himself.

Madam Hou said in a deep voice:

"Qingqiu, now tell me, how did you and the young lady get brought to Jing'an Hall?"

Qingqiu sobbed again upon hearing this:

"I'm sorry, Madam, Prince, it's my fault. The young lady was afraid that Madam would have a dispute with the Marquis, so she left Jiuhuan in the study, and only the young lady and I returned to Chaohui Courtyard."

"But as soon as we entered the second gate, we were stopped by Chen Shu from the old lady's yard. She said that the old lady wanted to ask the young lady to go. The young lady wanted to run away, but three maids came and stopped her."

"The young lady told me to run, but I was afraid they would hurt her, so I fought with them. We shouted all the way, but we didn't meet anyone from the East Courtyard."

"I misunderstood. I should have run away from the young lady separately. If one of us escaped, it would have been enough to report the news. Woo..."
