I survived as a female assassin

Xin Youran didn't expect Jixue to come back so soon.

Ji Xue opened his hands and handed the thing in front of her. Xin Youran took a look and saw it was a piece of paper and a dagger?

What does this mean?

She looked up at Jixue, "What is this?"

Jixue frowned slightly. You don’t even know this?

How could such a person get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

She stepped forward and patiently explained to Xin Youran, "When I arrived at the location you instructed, I didn't see any carriage. As I was looking around, a flying knife suddenly flew out from above my head and pierced the wall. When I grabbed it and chased after him, I saw only a burly figure in black. He quickly disappeared."

"This person has strong internal strength and good Qinggong skills. Is he someone you know?"

Xin Youran took the dagger and letter with her left hand, spread them out on the quilt and began to read.

"We are aware of your current condition. Come back after you recover."

"Also, I've brought the gardenias you were drying on the roof to your room."

"Leng Yue."

Xin Youran read every word carefully. Although there were only a few words, they were very elegant and free-spirited, and her tone was undoubtedly that of Leng Yue.

How could she know her current condition? Did she see that she was injured?

From Jixue's description, she could guess that the person was the deaf-mute man in black who rode in the carriage with her?

Since Leng Yue asked him to help carry the letter, they must know each other. She had suspected that this person must be from Crescent Valley, but apart from seeing him in the carriage, she had never seen him in the village.

Maybe his job is to deliver messages, so it's normal that he is not often in the village.

Xin Youran didn't bother with the matter anymore, but was still a little embarrassed when she saw the dagger. "Well, Xiaoxue, how do you think you're going to put away such a sharp dagger?"

Jixue seemed to hate this name, but he just pursed his lips, said nothing, picked up the dagger and went out.

Over the next two days, Imperial Physician Qin came over. He asked about the old poisoner in subtle ways, but Xin Youran didn't say much, because her memory of him was limited to that dream...

But from what he said, he didn't know that the old poisoner was dead. He just thought that he left without saying goodbye more than ten years ago and there has been no news of him since then.

Xin Youran didn't say how Old Poison died, because she had no idea who the black-robed man who killed her was. On the other hand, the man who killed Old Poison was the one who saved Blood Shadow...

Sometimes it is better to remember someone than to hear of their death.

During the two days she was recuperating here, apart from Jixue and Doctor Qin, Mu Yuan came back twice a day. Each time he came in a hurry and seemed very busy.

He doesn't live here, he probably lives in the East Palace.

That day, he unexpectedly appeared in front of her wearing court robes. Suddenly, she felt like a completely different person. This aura made her feel that there was a distance between him and her...

Although he had been taking good care of her, she missed Crescent Valley so much at this moment.

"Mu Yuan, can I have my stitches removed today? Can I move around freely?"

"I have something very important to do tomorrow, so I want to leave today."

The food here is indeed better than that in Crescent Valley, or even better than what she ate before she came here, but it still makes her feel restrained.

Mu Yuan was peeling grapes for her that he had just brought from the East Palace. When he heard her say she was leaving, he paused, but still fed her the peeled grapes.

This finally shut her up, "These grapes are pretty sweet!"

"I really have something urgent to do! I promised to deliver the ointment to someone tomorrow, but who knew this would happen..."

"I can't break my promise at the beginning, so I have to rush back today and make the ointment overnight."

"Don't worry, it won't delay Doctor Qin's blood drawing every day."

The word "blood collection" seemed to have become a thorn in Mu Yuan's heart. Although he knew that the amount of blood collected every day was not much, he always felt that he owed her a lot...

Xin Youran could feel Mu Yuan's low mood at the moment, but so what? Business was definitely more important, and she still had to discuss big plans with Manager Guo!

Gardenia is a seasonal crop, and time is money. If she achieves her wish tomorrow, she will buy all the gardenias in the entire Crescent Valley.

This not only increases the villagers' income, but also allows them to become the exclusive supplier of Ningxiang Pavilion. This opportunity to make money must not be missed!

"Don't worry, wait until Doctor Qin has examined the healing of your wound before making a decision. How about that?"

Well, Mu Yuan is the crown prince now, so it's normal that he can't empathize with her lofty ideals.

Xin Youran kept silent. In the past two days, she had consumed black chicken soup, pig's trotter soup, etc., which replenished qi and blood and helped heal wounds. She felt that she would gain at least three or four pounds just by eating and sleeping like this!

Once it's removed, put a bandage on your arm and sling it. It shouldn't affect your normal life.

She turned her head and closed her eyes to rest. Seeing this, Mu Yuan knew that she would be angry. She had just praised the grapes for being delicious, but now they were not fragrant anymore.

He just looked at her quietly and continued to peel the grapes in his hand, but all the peeled grapes went into his stomach...

Xin Youran was pretending to close her eyes to rest. She could have endured listening to him eating the juicy grapes one by one or two, but she didn't expect that this guy was not done yet!

Isn't this food sent to her?

Couldn't he just leave the grapes behind and the people go?

She silently calculated in her heart that if he continued to eat this large bunch of grapes, there would definitely not be much left!

Why was he still pretending to be profound at this time? He quickly stopped her and said, "Hey, isn't this a reward for the sick? Why are you talking about it all?"

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Mu Yuan quickly fed a peeled grape into the patient's mouth.

This was the scene Qin Taiyi saw when he arrived. "Don't look at anything indecent, don't look at anything indecent. I'll be back later."

As he spoke, he covered his face with his sleeves, took several steps back, and was about to leave the room.

Mu Yuan stopped him and said, "Please ask Doctor Qin to check on the healing of her wound."

Imperial Physician Qin then slowly lowered his sleeves and walked forward. Mu Yuan had already stood up to make room for him.

He watched carefully the entire process from the side. The wound was healing well. After removing the stitches, Doctor Qin changed the dressing and bandaged the wound. Then he stood up and said, "Okay, remember to change the dressing at this time every day. I've brought the medicine."

Xin Youran was incredibly excited when she heard this. "So, can I move around freely? Can I go out and work?"

She even quickly threw back the quilt, wanting to get up and pack up, planning to take Lao Li's carriage back to Crescent Valley.

"Hey, you little lady, even if you rely on your good health, you can't be so careless!"

Mu Yuan hurried forward to support her, "Doctor Qin, she does have something urgent to do. Is there any way to allow her to live a normal life without touching the wound?"

Seeing the two men insisting, Doctor Qin scratched his nose and said, "Forget it. Remember not to use knives or guns again."

Xin Youran nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I really value my life!"

Doctor Qin ordered the servants in his private residence to make a simple triangular bandage to hang Xin Youran's arm.

Ji Xue had already brought her a new set of secret guard uniforms and helped her put them on. After everyone left, Xin Youran put on the human skin mask Wei Wanwan had made for her in front of the bronze mirror. However, the process was complicated, and it was difficult for her to do it with one hand...

"Let me do it."

Mu Yuan appeared behind her in real time. At this point, she was anxious to return to Crescent Valley, so she asked Mu Yuan to help her put on the human skin mask.

Everything was ready. When she was about to get up and leave, Mu Yuan stopped her and handed her something. "My lady, if you encounter any danger, release this special firework and someone will come to save you."
