At this moment, Xiao Heng, who was sleeping, felt like a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

But this stone is also very considerate. Where is it cold? It will cover it. Once it is warm, it will move to another place to cover it. It even takes care of his little brother.

But this stone was too restless and kept moving around, making it impossible for him to rest in peace.

But the big rock he thought was disgusted with him. Jiuning was sleeping soundly when she felt the ice in her arms getting hotter and hotter. This made her beautiful eyebrows frown slightly. If it gets hot, just change sides. Well, not bad.

What's going on? Why is it getting hot everywhere? I'm changing it, left, right, up, down, but this ice cube still wants to hide, hold on tight.

One was hiding, the other was grabbing, and I don’t know how long it took... before the noise in the house stopped.

Alas! The most difficult beauty to bear. Well, Xiao Heng noticed that the person next to him had gradually calmed down his breathing and was already asleep, so he quietly got up and picked up the clothes scattered around him one by one.

But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he started shaking so much that even the fingers that were cutting the clothes were trembling. He almost fell to his knees when he stood up. Xiao Heng was sweating profusely and looked back at Jiu Ning. Fortunately, he was not woken up.

However, although the clothes were worn, they were still loose and he walked with a bow leg. But it was not his fault, as he could not control his weak legs.

Hiss~ This piece of clothing is no good! It's too rough and it hurts him so much. No, it seems I have to use better ones in the future, he decided secretly in his heart.

He held his leg with one hand and his waist with the other, and walked out tremblingly.

Standing outside the door, a silent whistle sounded, and Lu Ji immediately appeared. Xiao Heng stood up straight, but the sweat on his forehead made him look a little embarrassed.

"Master and Disciple Jiuyue, how are things going over there?"

He looked up, suppressed his laughter, lowered his head, and coughed lightly. Lu Ji said respectfully: "Master and disciple's wife was just knocked unconscious by the energy, she is not seriously injured."

Afterwards, he ordered someone to move a throne and place it in front of the door. He didn't dare to go far, fearing that Jiuning's health would deteriorate again.

Staying here, he could feel a little more at ease. After lying down, his body was exhausted, but he couldn't fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, those images would enter his mind, making it impossible for him to calm down.

As it was getting dark, Li Shan from the neighboring mansion came running over and said, "Duke, a woman named Tong'er is here to see the master."

Tong'er? Isn't that the girl who came back from the Chaste Girl Hall with Jiu Ning? After returning, she moved into the Jiang Mansion.

"Did the other party say what it was?"

Li Shan: "It seems that the lady is very anxious. She said that Madam Jiang Li's wrist was injured and she wants to ask the master for help."

Xiao Heng frowned and glanced into the house. "Tell him to go back to the mansion and inform Madam Jiang to wait at your place. I will bring him over later."

After receiving the order, Li Shan ran back. On the other side, Tong'er received the notice and went back to find Xue Fangfei. Then he returned to the next courtyard and sat in the main hall, waiting anxiously.

But the person who came was not Jiu Ning, but Xiao Heng who came with his master and disciple Jiu Yue.

Xue Fangfei looked back but didn't see the figure she was looking for. Isn't this Jiuning's residence? How could this Duke Su come and go as he pleased?

"Where's Jiuning?"

Xiao Heng looked at the other person and saw that Xue Fangfei had been covering her right wrist, so he had some guesses in his mind.

As far as he knew, Xue Fangfei should have participated in the piano competition in the annual exam. Now that her wrist was injured, it would definitely affect the outcome of the competition, which was why she came here in a hurry.

"If Jiuning has something to say to me, it's the same."

Jiuning cares about these people and certainly doesn't want them to know. Worrying is unnecessary and it won't help, and it will affect the ranking in the annual exam, so he simply doesn't tell them.

Tong'er, however, spoke anxiously, "What should we do? The doctor outside said that my wife has an old wrist injury, and now she has a new one. If she wants to fully recover, it will take more than a month, but there are only two days left for the competition. It's too late!"

"The one next to me is Miss Situ. She is very skilled in medicine. You can let her try."

Xiao Heng gave advice at the right time. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but if the matter was not handled properly, he couldn't leave.

He was anxious to go back and see Jiu Ning! As soon as Situ Jiuyue woke up, she came here first, but she didn't have time to see Jiu Ning! I wonder how she is doing?

Xue Fangfei bowed her head slightly as a gesture of respect. Although she didn't know if it would be reliable, she could only give it a try. "Thank you, ma'am."

Master and disciple Jiu Yue did not make things difficult for each other. They sat down at the table and checked each other's wrist.

"There's something wrong with the meridians in your wrist. If you want it to heal within a day or two, there's a way. It's a great bargain for you. The herbs are readily available."

Compared to Jiuning's seven meridians and eight vessels were all blocked, the woman opposite only had disordered meridians, which was simply a small matter compared to Jiuning's. The medicinal materials were also ready and could be used directly.

"Thank you, Miss Situ!"

Xue Fangfei and Tong'er were very happy to hear that he could recover, so that they would not miss the competition.

Master and disciple Jiu Yue ordered people to separate some of Jiu Ning's medicinal materials and boil them into a decoction, combined with acupuncture, and finally use poison to fight poison, but only a small amount of toxicity is needed.

Xiao Heng did not continue to pay attention to what was happening here, but turned around and returned to the Duke's Mansion. During this short journey, the corners of his mouth were always frowning.

The rockery isn't looking good anymore. Xiao Heng shook his head. It should be replaced. The roof tiles are a little faded and need to be renovated. This big tree is too ugly. Doesn't it affect his image? He needs to find time to have it trimmed properly.

When Jiuning wakes up, he will also think about how to get His Majesty to issue an order to grant the marriage.

"My Lord, I have a report from below that the Imperial Guards have taken action."

Xiao Heng immediately became serious and went to the study with Lu Ji.

"Tell me, what did you find?"

"My Lord, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Wei is already gathering his men and preparing to send a batch of supplies out of the city tonight."

"Is the news true?"

Xiao Heng has learned from his grandfather that Zhang Wei will make some moves soon, most likely a batch of military equipment, and he is on guard against this every day!

"My Lord, it was General Xiao's informant, Xu Zhi, who provided the information. Our people have also found that they are making frequent moves, but we don't know the details."

Xiao Heng nodded. If the thieves made any move, they would definitely assign someone to keep an eye on the movements in the city. The Dragon and Tiger Army was no exception. Those on duty could not move, but those off duty could, but there would be fewer people.

"Gather all the off-duty Dragon and Tiger soldiers, bring all the guards from the mansion, and bring Uncle Li along too. Let's go make the arrangements!"

Xiao Heng took out a map of the capital and drew on it, marking out several possible road sections.

The other party's route must be planned, and once there is a change, they may give up the action.

He had too few men to set up ambushes everywhere, so how could he be sure which route they would take?
