Chapter 178 Rescued
Lu Xuan didn't look back. She paused and replied softly, "Yes. It's getting late. Your Highness, please rest early. I will return to my room first."
She was so weak that she almost fell on Qingdai.
His footsteps were sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and if no one supported him, he would look like he was drunk.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the person behind her did not respond, she pulled Qingdai and walked forward again.
Suddenly, the slender shadow behind her suddenly teleported, and in the blink of an eye, it covered her.
Jiang Xing pulled Lu Xuan from Qingdai's hand, exerted a little force in his arms, picked her up sideways in an instant, and ran towards the bedroom quickly.
Lu Xuan half-closed his eyes and could only see his chin, which was swaying in front of his eyes, with a layer of blue stubble on it.
His chest was firm, and although Lu Xuan didn't want to get too close to him, she had to admit that at this moment, she felt somewhat comfortable snuggling up to him.
Ever since the incident in the backyard of Xu's house ended, her head started to hurt and she felt dizzy.
But at this moment, as he was holding her and running quickly, she did not shake at all, as if she was lying on a small pillow.
She looked at the half chin in front of her eyes and felt as if her eyelids were being pulled down fiercely, but her body instinctively felt full of peace and soon her eyes closed and she fell asleep.
When they arrived at the bedroom, Jiang Xing gently placed her on the couch. When he looked again, the person in his arms no longer responded no matter how he called out.
I could only tuck the quilt in for her with heartache and care.
He was extremely angry and his rage grew stronger, but he had no place to vent, so he could only scold Qing Yuan and Qing Dai harshly.
"She hasn't even fully recovered yet. When you two saw she was in danger, why didn't you come back and report it to me first? You're acting so recklessly. Are you my people, or hers?!"
He stood at the entrance with an angry look on his face, his cheeks hardened by his teeth, and a terrifying coldness like an icy spike emanated from him uncontrollably.
"When everything was over and I was about to come back to get the medicine, I only then remembered to inform the king. Who gave you two the courage?!"
He spoke the last few words with almost gritted teeth, enunciating each word.
Qing Yuan and Qing Dai knelt on the ground, and Qing Yuan shrank her head in fear.
She knew that if she advanced even a little further, this coldness would immediately turn into murderous intent.
If it weren't for the princess's consideration, she and Qingdai would probably be in danger of their lives today.
Qing Dai gathered herself together and said calmly, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. This incident happened suddenly. Qing Yuan and I admit our mistakes!"
After saying that, he pulled out a long whip from his body, "Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
This was the punishment everyone received whenever they made a mistake in the past, so Qing Yuan and Qing Dai were not surprised at all.
They all looked ready to die.
Jiang Xing didn't take the whip from her hand. With his throat tightening, he muttered a few words in a low voice: "Go to Xuan Ge and receive your punishment!"
……
The next day.
Lu Xuan seemed to remember things even when he was unconscious, and he felt uneasy.
Therefore, he woke up quickly at the hour of Si.
Sang Luo's wound had been bandaged, and she and Xiao Kui were sitting in front of Lu Xuan's bed with a worried look on their faces.
"Sang Luo, how is it going?"
The first thing Lu Xuan said after opening his eyes was to ask her about the previous arrangements in a hoarse voice.
Sang Luo quickly brought her a cup of water to drink, glared at her, and said helplessly, "Don't worry! There's no bad news."
She helped Lu Xuan sit up, her slightly red eyes filled with worry. "The most important thing right now is your health, Princess. The court doctor came to see you yesterday and said you've been seriously ill. I'm afraid you'll need at least a month of recuperation before you can work hard again!"
Lu Xuan let Xiao Kui and Sang Luo help him wash up. "I know my own body well. I just hope everything goes well..."
Then, he sighed again, a trace of worry appearing on his pale face: "I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the palace for another month, but..."
She suddenly remembered Jiang Xing who was waiting at the intersection and brought her back last night.
How did that person know that she would come back at that time?
Have you been waiting for her?
Or did he just happen not to sleep either?
Except for the time when she helped Aunt Yu on the street, she almost avoided every opportunity to meet him.
She only hoped that by leaving, everything would return to normal.
For the remaining month, I just hope nothing goes wrong.
the other side.
Ji Qingyan also woke up.
She saw the familiar tent above her head and was subconsciously startled.
Are you back home?
Who saved me last night?
The maids' whispers could be heard outside the bedroom.
"I don't know what's going on in your house these days. Why are there troubles every day?"
"Just yesterday, the second young lady fell into the water and was brought back, and today there are so many deaths. It's really unlucky..."
"It's being rumored that the master did something bad, and the whole city was cursing him before, so now he's being cursed by everyone..."
Ji Qingyan rolled over and jumped up.
But halfway through the jump, she felt a surge of pain and weakness all over her body, and she almost fell down again.
It seems that this broken body has fallen into the water and has almost recovered to the state it was when it first came.
Fortunately, I am still here!
"Somebody come!"
The maids who were chattering outside fell silent immediately when they heard Ji Qingyan's voice.
Then, he hurried in from the porch.
"Second miss."
The five or six people who came were all maids in her room. Ji Qingyan glanced at them indifferently, and then asked, "Who sent me back yesterday?"
The head maid Dingxiang bowed her head and said, "My dear Miss, it was the young master who brought you back."
"Si Luan?"
"Yes miss."
The maids behind her looked at her cautiously. Ji Qingyan glanced at them and said, "Help her wash up! Dingxiang, go get the young master."
"Yes."
Dingxiang retreated respectfully and carefully.
I fell into the water, and the court doctor came to prescribe medicine last night.
After Ji Qingyan finished washing up, the maid handed her the medicine bowl.
"Young lady has caught a cold. After dinner, should she continue to lie down and rest as the court doctor advised, or..."
Ji Qingyan tilted her head back and drank the Chinese medicine in one gulp.
Then he interrupted the little maid and said coldly: "Same as before."
The little maid gave her a timid look, then whispered, "Yes."
This second young lady was different from the other young ladies. She liked to do things that men did, and was not very close to the maids. She always looked at everyone with contempt.
She would always tell them not to be maids, saying that if they left the house to do business, they would be kicked out, so everyone was afraid of her.
If I caught a cold, like usual, I would go out for a horse race, or go to a tavern or bookshop...
I’m afraid it will be difficult for my body to recover like this.
Everyone wanted to kindly remind her, but when they saw her face, they swallowed the words back.
Ji Bozhou came over quickly, walking very fast, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and looked very anxious.
"Second sister is awake? What do you want to call me for?"
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, his eyes revealing an unspeakable anxiety and tension.
Ji Qingyan looked at him suspiciously: "Were you the one who sent me back last night?"
Ji Bozhou glanced outside the house with a worried look on his face before turning around and answering, "Yes, it was already dark when I came back from the shop. I saw you lying under the eaves at the door. You were soaking wet, as if you had fallen into the water, so I quickly brought you back."
Ji Qingyan was even more confused, "Didn't you save me from the river?"
"In the river? My second sister fell into the river yesterday?!" Ji Bozhou's face flashed with confusion.
Ji Qingyan looked ahead angrily and slammed her hand on the table. "Jiezi died last night trying to save me!"
"what?!"
For a moment, Ji Bozhou was shocked by the news and his heart sank.
The two most useful people in the mansion are Manager Ji and Jiezi.
The two of them hold more connections within the Ji family than he does. Together, they can get a lot done even if their eldest brother and father are not around.
He was just about to make some serious plans for the Ji Mansion, and was looking for someone to hire, but he was told that both of the available people had failed?!
He rubbed his brows irritably and let out a long breath.
Then, he looked towards the door with concern.
But at this moment, he couldn't sigh about this news, because outside the house, there were bigger things he hadn't dealt with yet...
