Chapter 274
As he spoke, he did not forget to pull down his sleeves slightly, quietly clenched his fists, and held the thing hidden in his sleeves even tighter.
Chun Xing noticed how nervous he was and quickly spoke to comfort him, "Don't be so nervous. I just saw a bloodstain on the back of your neck, so I'm wondering. If you don't feel comfortable talking about it, then forget it. There's no need to force it."
After hearing this, Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief, but remained somewhat vigilant. "In that case, I will return to Cuizhu Courtyard. My prince is waiting for my reply. Thank you for rescuing me today, young lady. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute." Chun Xing saw that he was about to leave and hurriedly called out to him.
Noticing Xiaonan staring at her warily again, Chun Xing quickly explained, "I'm the maidservant of Miss Luo from Chunhuayuan. What happened is this: today, when my lady and I were coming back from an outing, we saw the prince being beaten, so I hurriedly brought him back."
"The prince is injured!" Xiaonan interrupted Chunxing's words instantly, his face suddenly changed, full of anxiety.
He blamed himself in his heart: It's all my fault for not doing my job well and not completing the task assigned by the prince. Otherwise, how could the prince be injured? If the eldest young master was beside him, how could an ordinary person hurt the prince? Thinking of this, he was eager to go home and turned around to run back.
But Chun Xing was quick to grab him.
Xiaonan struggled hard, trying to break free, but he didn't expect the girl to be so strong that he couldn't succeed. He could only stand there anxiously and ask, "Miss, why are you holding me? My prince is injured. I have to go back quickly."
Xiaonan was really anxious. He had not yet completed what the prince had asked him to do. Now he had missed the time. So much time had passed and the prince had returned. He had to report first.
Chun Xing naturally noticed Xiao Nan's anxiety, but she had a reason to stop him. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiao Nan, I really have something I want to ask you. If you tell me, I'll let go immediately, okay?"
For some reason, Chun Xing felt a voice in her heart telling her that this matter was of great importance. Since she always trusted her intuition, she decided to do it. After all, a delay of a moment wouldn't affect anything.
Xiaonan listened, and although he was puzzled, he had no other choice. If he didn't listen or answer, the girl would probably not let him go. He could only nod helplessly and urged, "Girl, then ask quickly."
Hearing Xiaonan's agreement, Chun Xing was thinking about what her mistress had told her, and without bothering to exchange pleasantries, she asked directly, "Let me ask you, Cuizhuyuan is so far away from here, why are you here?"
"This..." Xiao Nan thought about the instructions of his own prince and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should answer her.
Chun Xing saw his dilemma and stopped asking. Instead, she asked, "If it's inconvenient to talk about it, then forget it. But let me ask you again. This place is remote. If I hadn't come here today, your life would have been in danger. Do you know who wants you dead?"
Hearing this, Xiaonan raised his hand and touched the stinging back of his neck. He gritted his teeth, took out half a sleeve from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying, "I don't know who hurt me, but when that person dragged me into the well, I subconsciously tore off this piece of cloth from his sleeve."
As he said that, he handed the piece of cloth to Chun Xing.
Chun Xing took it and examined it carefully for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes widened and a hint of joy flashed across her face, but she quickly suppressed it and said repeatedly, "Okay, I understand. You should keep this sleeve and don't tell anyone else."
As he said that, he handed the half piece of cloth to Xiaonan. Xiaonan quickly took it, tucked the sleeve into his arms again, and nodded softly.
Chun Xing said, "My young lady has something to tell me, and I have to hurry. If you trust me, go back quietly and hide, and don't let anyone see you. Besides, your master's condition is fine. When I left, a doctor had already come to see her, so I think she's fine now."
"Is it true? Then let me first thank my cousin and young lady for your great kindness on behalf of my prince." Xiaonan felt relieved to know that the prince was fine. Then she thought that she and her young lady had saved the prince and now saved herself, so she had to pay a big tribute to Chun Xing.
But just as he was about to salute, Chun Xing stopped him. "That's not necessary. I'm busy too. Let's cut to the chase. If you really want to think about your master, just listen to me and don't let anyone know you're still alive. It won't be too late to come out once the truth is revealed."
Xiaonan met Chunxing's eyes, seeing the sincerity in hers. Thinking of the close relationship between his own prince and this young lady from Luo, and the fact that this girl had saved him, he gritted his teeth and decided to trust her for once, nodding and saying, "Okay, I understand."
Seeing that he agreed, Chun Xing smiled and said "hmm" softly. Now that the matter was settled, she would quickly go and do what the young lady had asked her to do. Then she quickened her pace and turned to run out of the flowers.
Xiaonan was dazzled by her smile, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He smiled bitterly, turned around, and walked along the path, avoiding people all the way, and quietly returned to Cuizhuyuan.
When he arrived at Cuizhu Courtyard, he found that everyone in the courtyard was gathered in front of the young master's room, and no one had noticed him. He thought for a moment and quietly returned to his own room. Because Ye Yunxing had been in the academy for many years, there were not many servants in his courtyard. Servants like them could each live in a small room. So when he returned to his room and closed the doors and windows, no one noticed he was back, and of course, no one noticed he had disappeared.
.........
On Ye Yunxing's side, after Doctor Chu carefully examined him, he bandaged his wound, took out medicine from the medicine box and handed it to the steward, explained the precautions for using the medicine, and then left the inner room.
The Marquis's wife was now anxiously looking inside. She had originally followed him in, but because Ye Yunxing had a leg injury and needed to take off his clothes, even she, as a mother, had to avoid him. So she came out, but her heart was in the inner room. When she heard the noise and saw Doctor Chu push open the door to the inner room, she hurried over and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my son?"
After Doctor Chu closed the door and placed the medicine box on the table beside him, he replied slowly, "Young Master, aside from the more serious injury to your leg, the rest of your injuries are superficial. They will gradually heal within half a month. Just be careful with your leg. His leg bone is broken, and judging by the severity of the injury, it seems to have been caused by a strong impact. Fortunately, you called me in time and protected his broken leg well, so there was no secondary damage. So, with proper care, he should be fully recovered in one to two months at most."
After hearing this, the Marquis's wife gently touched her chest with her handkerchief and breathed a sigh of relief. Although her face was still full of heartache, she was relieved to know that she could be cured. When she thought of seeing her son in such a miserable state, her heart was pounding.
Seeing this, Nanny Sang hurried forward to support her and let her lean against her side.
The Marquis's wife calmed down and said, "Thank you very much, Doctor Chu. I will send someone to take you back."
As she spoke, she pushed Nanny Sang aside and ordered, "Go and arrange for someone to send Doctor Chu back safely, and pay him more for the consultation."
Doctor Chu is a famous bone-setting doctor in the capital. Since Xing'er's leg bone is injured, he will inevitably have to trouble Doctor Chu more in the future, so he should be treated with more courtesy.
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Nanny Sang bowed, then walked to the door and made a "please" gesture to Doctor Chu.
Doctor Chu carried the medicine box, bowed to the Marquis's wife, and then left with Nanny Sang.
After watching Doctor Chu leave the room, the Marquis's wife couldn't wait to push the door open and go in to see how Ye Yunxing was doing.
Luo Shuiyao had been standing at the door in silence. Although she was still wet, it was obviously not the time to go back and change clothes. She wanted to see how Ye Yunxing was doing and also wanted to understand the reason for these people's strange attitude. Seeing the Marquis's wife walking towards the door, she followed her in.
The Marquis's wife heard the footsteps and turned to look at her. Then she remembered that she had been standing there. She immediately said with a cold face, "This is the men's inner room. As a girl, you should have some sense of shame. Don't be so uneducated just because you have no parents.
