Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 702

Qi Xuan was shocked to see Sheng Qiongluo in such a miserable state and quickly hugged her.

"Miss Sheng, what happened to you? How did you get so badly injured?"

Sheng Qionglu cried, feeling extremely aggrieved: "I... I also went out to look for the Crown Princess. When I got to that pine forest, someone suddenly rushed out and attacked me, even launching hidden weapons at me. I fell into a hole and was swept here by an underground river..."

As she spoke, she showed Qi Xuan her left leg, which had been hit by the silver dart.

"That hidden weapon was poisoned... my legs are completely numb..."

Her skirt was tattered beyond recognition, revealing most of her snow-white leg. Although it was covered in wounds, it was still visually striking. Qi Xuan didn't dare to look at it for long, only glancing at the wounds before quickly turning away to take Sheng Qiongluo's pulse.

"You have been poisoned by Dingfeng Poison, which only paralyzes the whole body and makes people unable to move. It is not life-threatening."

With tears in her eyes, Sheng Qiongluo asked, "Can Young Master Qi cure this poison?"

Qi Xuan took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it to her: "Of course, just take one pill."

Sheng Qiongluo poured out a pill and swallowed it. Qi Xuan took off his outer robe and draped it over her shoulders.

"We'll treat your other injuries when we get back to camp. I..."

Qi Xuan hesitated for a moment. Sheng Qiongluo couldn't walk now, and if he took her back, he would have to carry her back on his back or hold her in his arms. He was afraid of offending her, so after thinking for a while, he said, "...I'll go back and call someone to pick you up. Wait for me here for a while."

Sheng Qiongluo nervously grabbed Qi Xuan.

"Young Master Qi, the people who attacked me seem to be His Highness the Crown Prince's subordinates. I suspect they mistook me for someone who wanted to harm the Crown Princess. Can you testify for me? I just happened to be passing by and didn't do anything!..."

Qi Xuan repeatedly assured him, "Of course I know you didn't do anything. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you!"

As if she had finally found someone to rely on, Sheng Qiongluo hugged Qi Xuan with tears in her eyes, rested her head on his body, and spoke softly and timidly.

"Young Master Qi, please don't go. I'm scared to be here alone..."

That sweet, coquettish voice, along with those dependent touches, made Qi Xuan tense up instantly, freezing him in place.

"Well... if Miss Sheng doesn't mind, shall I carry you back?"

Sheng Qiongluo nodded almost imperceptibly, her face flushed with embarrassment, and said in a voice barely audible, "Put me down outside the camp, it wouldn't be good if someone saw us..."

Qi Xuan carefully carried Sheng Qiongluo back to the camp. His head seemed to be filled with pink mist. He didn't feel any weight at all. Instead, he felt light and airy, as if he were floating on a cloud.

When they reached the vicinity of the camp, Qi Xuan put Sheng Qiongluo down, went inside to call her maids to come out and take her inside.

the other side.

Mo Chonggui and Shen Lingjun set up an ambush in the pine forest yesterday and indeed captured two guards. However, the two were both assassins. As soon as they realized they had fallen into a trap, they immediately committed suicide by poisoning themselves. No one had time to stop them, so naturally they could not find out who sent the two men.

Shen Lingjun then ordered his troops to remain still and wait, and another woman arrived.

Judging from her attire, she should be one of the young ladies from prominent families who came to participate in the autumn hunt. However, they only saw a figure fleeing quickly, and Mo Chonggui's subordinates were not familiar with the young ladies of Ancheng and did not recognize who she was.
