Chu Zhao's face was bloodless, and when he arrived at the eldest grandson's mansion, his head was covered with cold sweat.

If it's just an arm injury, it shouldn't be like this.

"Do you have other injuries?" Ning Yuyao was also anxious, her face was flushed, as if she had just stepped out of the steamer.She supported Chu Zhao, and continued, "You speak, why do you feel uncomfortable?"

The eldest grandson Ruoshui's face darkened, and he shouted: "Come here, invite the doctor!" This kind of thing happened just after leaving the Duke's mansion. Did the assassin come here for Chu Zhao or for himself?

"No need." Chu Zhao struggled and waved his hand, she whispered, "Bring a black stone." The black-clothed man's concealed weapon was skillful, and although he blocked most of it, a few needles still missed own body.Although the meridian was blocked in time so that it would no longer go deep, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't force it out of the body. "Crown Princess, go and rest first." After a pause, Chu Zhao turned to Ning Yuyao and said, "Princess, I need your help."

Ning Yuyao hummed lightly, believing that she had her own consideration.The servants in the house moved quickly, and found the black stone that Chu Zhao needed in a short while.Back in the house, Chu Zhao sat cross-legged on the couch, carefully took off his clothes, and immediately revealed his smooth and beautiful body.Ning Yuyao saw such a scene as soon as she raised her eyes, and her heart trembled, but she quickly suppressed the traces of charm in her heart.Her eyes fell on the dark blood clot on her arm, and she asked in a low voice, "Do you want to bandage the wound first?"

Chu Zhao shook his head and said, "No need."

Ning Yuyao pursed her lips and stopped talking. Her gaze wandered over Chu Zhao's body for a while, and soon she found a few red dots, like red plums on the vast snow.Could it be that a hidden weapon has entered the body?His nose was sour, and his eyes immediately filled with tears.Every time it was Chu Zhao who came to protect her, he was really weak and incompetent, so tired that this person was covered with scars.

Chu Zhao sighed almost inaudibly. She was terrified that Ning Yuyao would cry, and said softly, "Don't cry." But these words fell into Ning Yuyao's ears, and they moved her even more. Her emotions, tears falling like broken pearls, it was difficult to contain her emotions.

Feeling sad in his heart, Chu Zhao wished he could get up immediately and hold Ning Yuyao in his arms to comfort her.But at this moment, she didn't have the strength to move. "Come here with the black stone, do you see these red dots?" After a pause, Chu Zhao smiled wryly again, "If you can't force the hidden weapon out like this, you can only ask a doctor to cut the wound and take it out. "

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ning Yuyao quickly wiped away her tears, but she couldn't make Chu Zhao's injury worse because of her emotions.Focusing on the red dot with a big pinhole, Ning Yuyao felt that her hand holding the black stone trembled a little. She had never practiced martial arts, but saw that when the hero in the novel was exercising kung fu, there would be bubbles on the top of his head. vapor.It's just that Chu Zhao's state is not at all as seen in the book, her body is trembling, her face is red and white, as if she is enduring great pain.Ning Yuyao bit her lower lip and dared not speak out, she was afraid that if she interrupted, Chu Zhao's previous efforts would be wasted.

One person sat cross-legged, the other half-kneeled on the couch, and maintained this posture for about a quarter of an hour before hearing a few soft sounds.A silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and those few tiny silver needles were sucked onto the black stone.Big drops of sweat dripped from his forehead and snaked down his neck.Excessive exercise made Chu Zhao feel a little dizzy. She put her hand on Ning Yuyao's shoulder, looking away from the re-opened wound, her mind was lost.

Legs are numb and arms are sore.Ning Yuyao threw Xuanshi aside, and stretched out her hand to straighten Chu Zhao's clothes.The trembling fingers inadvertently slid across the skin, causing a sudden tremor.Ning Yuyao's eyes sank, she quickened her movements, and finally stretched out her hand to hold Chu Zhao tightly in her arms.

Chu Zhao snorted softly, "Your heart beats fast."

Ning Yuyao replied flatly: "If you are anxious, angry and worried, you will naturally have ups and downs."

"Sorry." Chu Zhao blinked and said again, "I made you worry."

"It's not your fault." Ning Yuyao frowned, and then said that there would be no misfortune under the emperor's feet, who knew that she would face such an event.She let go of Chu Zhao, seeing that the blood had stained her sleeves red, her face was filled with annoyance.She was so focused on expressing her emotions that she completely forgot that there were still scars on her arm.Ning Yuyao gently rolled up Chu Zhao's sleeves, and helped her treat the wound on her arm, while secretly scolding herself a few times in her heart, as if she could feel more comfortable in this way.

Chu Zhao stared at Ning Yuyao, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Your movements are getting more and more proficient."

When Ning Yuyao heard this, her sourness returned to her heart. She gave Chu Zhao a hard look, and said angrily, "Isn't it because you have been injured so many times? What I want is a intact Chu Zhao! I don't feel comfortable when you're hurt, and I wish I could bear all the pain for you." After revealing his heart, there is no need to hide his hidden thoughts.In this respect, Ning Yuyao is far more presumptuous and bold than Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao's eyes were tender like water, she reached out her free hand and touched Ning Yuyao's face.The fingertips slid gently from the corners of her eyes, stained with a little moisture. "I know." She replied softly, and after a while, she said again, "I don't know who ordered that man?"

"If you let me know, they will definitely be torn apart!" Ning Yuyao said bitterly, and after the impulsive emotion in her heart subsided, she continued, "There are two suspects. King Guang. Their goal seems to be the emperor's wife, not us." People in Duke Qin's mansion naturally love Qin Yi, and in addition to the news that the prince and concubine are at odds recently, this will definitely make their minds flutter.As long as the princess is gone, Qin Yi may take that position and fulfill his own wish.As for King Guang, he probably wanted to use this matter to deal a huge blow to the prince.

Chu Zhao nodded, "It's possible." Just as the two were whispering in the room, there was a sudden commotion outside.The man's angry scolding and clear comforting voices intertwined.Ning Yuyao frowned slightly, and when she was about to go out to find out, she heard a knock on the door.Seeing that Chu Zhao had no intention of avoiding it, he said "Please come in".In an instant, several figures squeezed in through the door together, and the cast shadows filled the empty space in the room.It turned out that the two sons from the eldest grandson's mansion had returned, as well as the Chu brothers who had rushed over after hearing the news.

"Ah Zhao, are you okay?" Chu Xu was the most impatient, striding towards the head of the bed, looking Chu Zhao up and down, seeing her pale face, a distressed look appeared in her eyes, "Tell brother, Who succeeded?"

Chu Zhao raised his head slightly, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, brother, don't worry, as for the murderer—"

"If the murderer is found out, will it be your turn?" Zhang Sunzheng said suddenly, squinting at Chu Xu, and then said, "The prince has already known about this matter, and he will handle it himself."

Hearing this, Chu Zhao nodded and said, "That's fine." Although she was the one who was injured, the concubine and Zhaoyang were also involved. No matter who they are, they are the prince's heart. How could he let the assassin do nothing?

"En." Chang Sun Zheng nodded lightly, and said again, "It's good that you have nothing to do, my two brothers left first." They came here just to take a look at Chu Zhao.The brothers and sisters of the Chu family are very famous in Beijing. They are officials in the same court as Chu Xu and Chu Hui, and they see each other frequently, but the third young lady of the Chu family rarely has any contact.When I heard that she had a marriage contract with Princess Zhaoyang, I felt sorry for Cousin Zhaoyang.Seeing him now, he is not a crooked person, but I feel a little relieved.Although it is a "female son-in-law" against common sense, you have to pick a good one, right?

Chu Hui asked in a low voice, "Is Ah Zhao going home?"

Chu Xu immediately rolled his eyes at Chu Hui, and reprimanded: "You boy, the third sister is injured, she should not move."

"I'm fine, let's go back." Chu Zhao replied with a smile, not so weak.Besides, this is Guojiu's Mansion, a completely unfamiliar place, so naturally it is not as comfortable as my own mansion. "Brother, send the princess back to the palace." After saying this, Chu Zhao turned to look at Ning Yuyao's expression.Will she stay at the uncle's mansion, or go back to the palace?

"No need." Ning Yuyao's expression turned cold. Before Chu Zhao asked, she waved her hands and said, "I'll go back to the general's mansion with you." Chu Zhao was injured and returned to the palace in fear.Besides, after going back and not seeing his parents, instead of worrying blindly, it might be better to be with Chu Zhao, maybe he can feel more at ease.

Hearing what the princess said, the brothers of the Chu family showed a hint of surprise on their faces.The relationship that developed by leaps and bounds seemed somewhat unusual.Could it be that months of sharing weal and woe made them develop a friendship stronger than gold?When Chu Hui came back to his senses, he nodded and said, "I'll go talk to the people in Uncle Tong's house."

Chu Zhao nodded: "Yeah." She quietly held Ning Yuyao's hand.But before Chu Xu left, his gaze fell on their intertwined hands, and a trace of complicated emotions suddenly appeared on his face.

In the eldest grandson's mansion, Uncle Guo has returned.It's just that because the crown prince also came to the mansion, he couldn't spare his thoughts to come over to see Chu Zhao's condition.The prince was determined to find out the assassin, so he ordered people to invite all the people who passed by that place not long ago, and even went to Duke Qin's mansion to invite people.The method is tough and does not allow others to comment.

When Chu Zhao heard what his elder brother said about the prince's actions, he sighed softly in his heart. "Marrying Qin Yi was originally the best solution."

"Not necessarily." Ning Yuyao shook her head, disapproving of Chu Zhao's words, she continued, "Brother Huang is indeed acting on emotion, but what if it were you? Could it be that these are all things that can be exchanged for benefits? Brother Huang doesn't like Qin Yi, this is the biggest and most legitimate reason why he doesn't want to marry her."

Chu Zhao let out a sigh.Many things are involuntary, but when it comes to things that can be decided by oneself, why can't you give yourself a little bit of freedom and have to find it to be unhappy?

The prince made such a big move and wanted to thoroughly investigate the truth, and the people in Duke Qin's mansion must have been alarmed.The next day, someone came to visit General Chu's residence.

The windows are half closed, and the oncoming autumn wind brings a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.Chu Zhao sighed softly, and after the maid who communicated left, Chu Zhao turned his head to look at Ning Yuyao, and said in a low voice, "Tell me, what is the purpose of the people from Qin Guogong's mansion coming at this time?" Woolen cloth?"

Ning Yuyao's mind was on Chu Zhao's qin platform, playing a flute on the lake that day, presumably Chu Zhao is also a person who is proficient in rhythm, and this person really knows how to hide his abilities.He secretly laughed in his heart, and after a long while raised his eyes and replied: "It's nothing more than what happened yesterday, but I don't know who is here."

Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you curious?"

"Not curious." Ning Yuyao shook her head, and her gaze shifted to the bookshelf again.There are all kinds of books on it, including history books, military books, martial arts secret books, and some folk secret books.Ning Yuyao took out a volume at random, flipped through it and saw an erotic poem inscribed on the front page.With a reddish complexion and flowing eyes, Ning Yuyao gave Chu Zhao an angry look, and said in a low voice, "During the flower viewing party in April, you still said that you were illiterate and would not show your shame in front of all the ladies. Literary and elegant, how can it be inferior to others?"

Chu Zhao caught a glimpse of Ning Yuyao's expression and knew what she saw.When I first read the booklet, I wrote a poem on a whim.She lazily leaned on the couch, shaking the cattail fan in her hand, and argued: "Look at those young ladies, which one dares to show their true abilities? Isn't it to let the princesses come out on top? If so, will they or not?" Yes, what's the big deal?"

Ning Yuyao chuckled, walked up to Chu Zhao, looked down at her condescendingly with her hands folded around her chest, and snorted softly, "Oh, you really know how to argue."

Chu Zhao pretended to get up and cupped his hands and said, "It's not as good as the princess."

"You—" Ning Yuyao felt angry when she heard the words, she clenched her fist and punched Chu Zhao's shoulder lightly. She climbed onto the small couch, half sat on Chu Zhao's lap, frowned and feigned anger, "Do you mean lack of literary talents or lack of sophistry?"

Ning Yuyao raised her hand slightly, and the sleeve slid down to her arm, revealing a section of skin like snow lotus root.The painted screen on the front side is charming, and the smoke of agarwood in the duck stove is lingering, Chu Zhao's heart trembles, and he feels drunk.Her eyes swept down Ning Yuyao's face, and gradually sank into Luo Yi's collar.

"You idiot, why don't you talk?" Seeing that Chu Zhao's mind was wandering, Ning Yuyao snorted again, and simply sat forward on Chu Zhao's lap, put her hands on her shoulders, and moved slowly. When he reached the neck, he rubbed it gently with his soft fingertips. "You—" Chu Zhao shuddered, and when he looked up, Ning Yuyao's face was flushed, and his eyes were like waves of autumn water, and his thoughts were even more swaying.Hands had inadvertently covered the slender waist, rubbing lightly and heavily through the thin layer of clothes.The person on his body softened into a ball, even half lying on his shoulders.
