After saying this, Baili Zixuan noticed Xie Jinglan's sharp gaze, and only then did he reluctantly reach out to take his pulse.

"Hmm, he's much better. His pulse is steady and strong. If I didn't know he was such a sickly person, I would have thought he could live to be a hundred."

Hearing Baili Zixuan's obviously sarcastic words, Jiang Yuyue did not give him a friendly look just because he was a divine doctor.

“I gave you the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng. I don’t care if you’re a miracle doctor or not. As long as you’re a doctor, you have to have medical ethics. Give him a good look. We’re in a hurry to get back.”

"Do not worry."

Baili Zixuan said nonchalantly, "His health has improved a bit, and he probably won't have any problems traveling. Anyway, he won't live much longer, so do whatever you want with him."

Jiang Yuyue: "..."

I have a feeling that Baili Zixuan is subtly criticizing them.

Yue didn't know what was wrong with this person today; his words were always barbed.

However, since Baili Zixuan said that Xie Jinglan was in good health, she was relieved.

After leaving Baili Zixuan's place, the group boarded a carriage to return to their original residence in the capital. Xie Jinglan asked a question seemingly casually.

"I've already consulted Doctor Baili, and all my worries should be dispelled now. When do you plan to set off home?"

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang Yuyue rarely saw him so concerned about anything. Could it be that Xie Jinglan had a lover in the Xie family?

"Not urgent."

Xie Jinglan didn't want to reveal anything, and said, "It was just a casual question."

"Since there's no rush, then let's leave in a couple of days."

Jiang Yuyue had her own plans, because tomorrow was Qixi Festival, and she didn't want to waste such a good festival on traveling.

Although she and Xie Jinglan were not a couple in the traditional sense, it was still a rare festival. Jiang Yuyue had long heard that the Qixi Festival in the capital was as lively as the Spring Festival, so she had to take this opportunity to see for herself.

After settling Xie Jinglan back at the house, Jiang Yuyue went out alone under the pretext of wanting to go for a walk.

She hadn't forgotten the assassination attempt that night. Just from the fact that the assassin shot her with a poisoned arrow without hesitation, Jiang Yuyue could tell that those people were sent by Xie Yunqi. After all, she had no other enemies besides Xie Yunqi, and her purpose in going out this time was to find out about Xie Yunqi.

As soon as Jiang Yuyue stepped out the door, Xie Jinglan called out, and Yueying, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately appeared.

"Find a few people to follow her. She has many enemies in the capital. We must prevent anything from happening to her."

Yueying was slightly taken aback by these words, but immediately agreed.

"Yes."

……

The capital city was bustling with activity.

The news of Xie Yunqi's arm being crippled had already caused a sensation throughout the capital. Jiang Yuyue casually inquired at a teahouse and learned about his recent situation.

"Young lady, you're not new to the capital, are you? How could you not know about such a big thing?"

The old man, who was drinking tea nearby, immediately perked up when Jiang Yuyue mentioned Princess Huajin's future husband, and lowered his voice slightly as he spoke.

"Everyone in our capital knows that Xie Yunqi, who was betrothed to Princess Huajin a few days ago, had his right arm chopped off by a group of thugs who broke into his villa in the middle of the night!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue was stunned. She wasn't sympathizing with Xie Yunqi's plight, but rather wondering how such a thing could suddenly happen!

"Who chopped off Xie Yunqi's arm? Has it been found out?!"

Jiang Yuyue hurriedly pressed for details. Even if Xie Yunqi was not the best, he was still someone whom Princess Huajin had recognized. Moreover, this was right under the emperor's nose. How dare someone commit such a crime in public? Wasn't this a slap in the face to the emperor?

"That's really strange."

The old man shook his head and sighed, "After Princess Hua Jin learned of this, she immediately rushed into the morning court that day and cried to His Majesty. His Majesty was also furious and ordered a thorough investigation. But even so, Xie Yunqi's arm has been broken for so many days, and we still haven't found out who did it."

"Now everyone is saying that the future prince consort got into some trouble outside and was chased to the capital for revenge, but they didn't take his life, they just cut off his arm."

Jiang Yuyue listened carefully and was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that such a wonderful thing would happen in the few days she had been away from the capital.

And where exactly did Xie Yunqi commit such a sin that he has attracted enemies who are determined to take revenge on him?

"However, such an incident in the capital has caused widespread panic."

The old man didn't forget to remind Jiang Yuyue, "Miss, I see you've just arrived in the capital. If you're unfamiliar with the place, you must be careful. It wouldn't be good if you ended up like Xie Yunqi and fell victim to bad people."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for your concern, sir. I will be more careful."

By this point, Jiang Yuyue had a pretty good idea of ​​Xie Yunqi's current situation. Although she didn't know who was responsible for his miserable state, she still felt a sense of satisfaction for him.

The thought of Xie Yunqi losing his manhood and an arm made Jiang Yuyue extremely happy, and she couldn't help but hum a little tune when she got home.

"What's making you so happy?"

Seeing her overjoyed expression, Xie Jinglan asked, even though Yueying had already sent someone to report her whereabouts today, he still wanted to know.

"nothing."

Jiang Yuyue didn't want to reveal too many details, so she changed the subject and said, "I was just thinking that tomorrow is Qixi Festival, and the capital will surely be much more lively, so I'm just happy."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuyue immediately suggested,

"By the way, now that your legs are all better, and it's a rare holiday, why don't we go out for a stroll together tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinglan looked up at her, and in her smiling eyes, he opened his lips to agree.

"it is good."
