Hua Manman was lying on the bed, the clothes on his back were cut open, revealing a bloody wound.
Standing by the side, Hua Qingqing's eyes turned red when she saw this scene.
She was afraid that her emotions would affect the imperial physician, so she could only hold on to the hem of her skirt tightly, trying not to cry out.
The imperial physician carefully pulled out the spikes from the tight flesh.
Hua Manman clenched her teeth, trembling with pain, tears streaming down her face.
After a while, the pillow was soaked in a large area.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Li Ji watched the imperial physician's movements expressionlessly.
Probably because King Zhao's sense of presence is too strong, the pressure on the imperial doctor's heart is very great, and every movement is extremely cautious.
After finally helping Hua Manman clean the wound, the imperial physician was already sweating from exhaustion.
After sprinkling the powder and bandaging it properly, the imperial physician can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the queen sent someone over to ask how Hua Ruren was doing.
The imperial doctor answered truthfully: "Ruren's wound is relatively deep, but fortunately he was treated in time, and the problem is not particularly serious. After a period of rest and recuperation, he should be able to recover as before."
The man went to report to the queen.
The imperial physician packed up her things and was about to leave. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Hua Qingqing standing next to her, and found that Hua Qingqing's dress was scratched, and there were two thin wounds on the back of her hand.
The imperial physician reminded: "Jieyu, the back of your hand is injured, please allow me to take care of it for you."
Hua Qingqing didn't care much about her injuries.
She shook her head: "No need, it's just a small injury. I'll just apply some medicine myself when I go back."
The imperial doctor took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box: "This medicine can help the wound heal, you can use it."
Hua Qingqing took it with her hand: "Thank you."
The imperial physician arched his hands towards her, turned around and left with the medicine box on his back.
Ruyun helped Hua Manman get dressed, pulled up the quilt, and gently covered her back.
Hua Qingqing squatted down beside the bed, looking at the pale-faced second sister, her voice trembling slightly, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
"Second sister, I'm sorry, if it wasn't for saving me, you wouldn't have been hurt."
Hua Manman's eyes were red and swollen, and there were still traces of tears on his face.
Even so, she still did not forget to maintain her personality, pursing her lips in disdain and authenticity.
"I told you not to be self-righteous. I fell down accidentally just now, and I didn't get hurt to save you."
Hua Qingqing wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Li Ji coldly.
"Hua Jieyu, if you have nothing else to do, please go back, don't hinder Manman's rest."
Li Ji's aura was too strong, Hua Qingqing didn't dare to argue with him, so she stood up reluctantly.
"Second sister, rest well, I'll come see you tomorrow."
Hua Manman snorted: "You just need to take care of yourself, don't come to me if you have nothing to do."
Hua Qingqing blessed her body towards King Zhao and was about to leave.
Li Ji said suddenly.
"This king will give you a gift."
Hua Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that King Zhao had something to say to her alone.
So she nodded: "Then there will be Lord Lao."
King Zhao steered the wheelchair to go out, followed by Hua Qingqing.
When they walked around the screen and reached the door of the bedroom, King Zhao's wheelchair stopped.
Hua Qingqing also stopped.
There is a high threshold at the door, and it is difficult for wheelchairs to pass, Hua Qingqing said wisely.
"Just send it here, please come back, my lord."
Li Ji looked at her coldly: "I hope you will stay away from Manman in the future."
Hua Qingqing pursed her lips: "Is the lord blaming me for causing Manman to be injured this time
This time it was indeed my fault.
As an elder sister, not only failed to protect her well, but also let her get hurt in order to protect me. This is my elder sister's dereliction of duty, and I will correct it in the future. "
Li Ji said, "This is not the first time."
Hua Qingqing was slightly taken aback.
Li Ji: "The last time Zhong Anbo used family law against you, Man Man Man saved you.
And last night, it was also because of Long Man's hard work to persuade you that you regained your composure.
Time after time, Manman is helping you every time, and what do you give her in return
It was injury after injury. "
Hua Qingqing felt as if someone had slapped her face, it was so hot and painful.
Li Ji: "If you really care about Manman, don't get close to her."
Hua Qingqing clenched her fists and said unwillingly.
"I will change it in the future. I will protect her well and never let her get hurt again."
Li Ji looked at her coldly, with no emotion in his cold and deep voice.
"With your current ability, you can't even protect yourself, so how can you protect others?"
Hua Qingqing was left speechless by the question, and the expression on her face became more and more embarrassing.
"You are too weak, the weak are not qualified to protect others."
After Li Ji put down these cold words, he looked away and turned the wheelchair to the inner room.
Hua Qingqing was left standing alone, her beautiful and delicate face had lost a trace of blood, looking embarrassed and pitiful, very helpless.
After a long time, she left in a daze.
In the inner room, Hua Manman was still lying on the bed.
The pillow has been replaced with a new one, it is clean and has a faint fragrance.
She lay face down on the pillow, looked at King Zhao who had returned, and asked.
"Hua Jieyu is gone?"
Her voice was still a little crying, and it sounded soft to people's ears.
Li Ji's ears felt a little numb.
He leaned back and said casually.
"gone."
Hua Manman sighed.
She was actually quite guilty.
If it weren't for her reaching out to hold Hua Qingqing just now, Hua Qingqing wouldn't have fallen and got injured after following her.
Hua Qingqing was completely implicated by her.
Hearing her heartfelt voice, Li Ji sneered unceremoniously.
"You should be very light."
There is no woman who doesn't like being praised for being thin, and Hua Manman is no exception.
She laughed foolishly: "How did the prince see it?"
Li Ji: "Because you are heartless."
Hua Manman: "..."
The smile faded away.
As expected, the next moment Li Ji heard Hua Manman spit out the fragrance frantically in his heart.
Li Ji hooked his lips and laughed: "Are you scolding me in your heart?"
Hua Manman shows a commercial smirk.
"No, it's too late for me to love you, so how can I be willing to scold you?"
Li Ji smiled and said: "It seems that this king didn't hurt you for nothing. You can rest well in the next few days, and you don't need to practice writing and swordsmanship."
Hua Manman was suddenly overjoyed.
It feels so good not to have to go to class!
It's worth the pain!
From now on, she can justifiably be a salted fish!
Hearing her heartfelt voice, Li Ji continued with a smile.
"After you recover, make up all the homework you owe."
Hua Manman: "..."
Oh, it turns out that happiness is all fake.
Only work is real.
