When the golden man attacked, the Ninth Prince blocked Sheng Peiyin's knife in order to save her. The wound was almost bone-deep. If Qi Zheng hadn't arrived in time, he would have died of pain even if he didn't lose too much blood.
When He Chen walked in, the military doctor was changing the medicine of the Ninth Prince, and there was no one else in the room except the servant.
"Jiu Ye." He Chen saluted, he was used to calling Ninth Prince Jiu Ye, and he didn't change it for a while.
The Ninth Prince didn't care, and endured the pain with a smile and said, "Young Master He, please sit down."
The military doctor tied the gauze in a knot, and said respectfully, "Ninth Prince, be careful not to get wet, and come back tomorrow to change the dressing."
After a few careful instructions, the military doctor withdrew.
The young man in the room supported the Ninth Prince to lean on the big welcoming pillow, bowed his head and retreated under the gesture of the Ninth Prince.
"Young Master He, what can you do with me?" If he had been in the capital before, how could the Ninth Prince condescend to be so polite to a merchant? It's just that he has been away from the capital for a while in the past two years, and he understands that he has nothing to do with his status. Noble, in fact, is useless, so the arrogance and defiant attitude of the past have long since disappeared.
He Chen coughed lightly, "Ninth Prince, how is your injury?"
"If you don't hurt your bones, you can't die." The Ninth Prince smiled wryly, "You can save your life."
"Why is that so?" He Chen asked, in Dongyue, he was quite acquainted with the Ninth Prince, and he knew that he even gave up his life for Sheng Peiyin.
He couldn't see that Sheng Peiyin deserved the Ninth Prince to treat her like this.
The Ninth Prince knew what He Chen was asking, he just smiled lightly, everyone has their own attachments, just like when he got Sheng Peiyin's body in Jinxiu Garden, he had an inextricable magic for her.
"Ninth Prince, actually, I want to ask you. We transported rice to the northwest this time, did you tell others?" He Chen asked.
It was a coincidence that the Ninth Prince knew about the rice transportation. He Chen originally thought that the Ninth Prince's status was special, so it should be nothing to do with it, but unexpectedly something happened.
It wasn't that he suspected that the Ninth Prince was in collusion with the Jinren, it was just that he considered all the people who knew about it, and the one he couldn't guarantee the most was the Ninth Prince.
"You suspect that I colluded with the Jinren?" Ninth Prince asked with a frown.
Ninth Prince's expression darkened unconsciously, although he was just an idle prince. But he is absolutely loyal to Da Zhou, this is his ancestor's country, how could he betray his ancestor's foundation!
He Chen said hurriedly. "That's not what I mean, I'm just asking."
"You doubt me, why don't you doubt your own people?" Ninth Prince couldn't help but angrily said.
"Ninth Prince, there are only two of my people left, and the others are all dead." He Chen suppressed the grief in his heart. Answered in a hoarse voice.
As for the other people who knew but traveled by water, they didn't know their route at all, so how could they collude with the Jin people
The Ninth Prince was stunned for a moment, if it wasn't for him... He Chen's people might not have to be killed by the golden man.
He twitched his lips in embarrassment.
He Chen stood up, stared at the Ninth Prince and said in a deep voice, "Don't disturb the Ninth Prince to rest."
Ninth Prince opened his mouth. But he couldn't say a word.
After He Chen left, Sheng Peiyin came in with chicken soup, and looked at the Ninth Prince with a smile. "Master Jiu, what do you think? Does the wound still hurt?"
Sheng Peiyin asked as she walked, filled a bowl of chicken soup and sat down on the side of the bed, staring at the Ninth Prince with concern.
"It's nothing serious, where have you been?" Ninth Prince asked.
"Go and cook soup for you." Sheng Peiyin smiled and narrowed her eyes. He fed the Ninth Lord one mouthful at a time, "You shed so much blood to save me, Ninth Lord, don't do this again in the future."
Ninth Prince looked at her affectionately, "How could I be willing to let you get hurt."
Sheng Peiyin lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Peiyin, there is something I want to ask you." Ninth Prince pushed her hand away, showing a serious face to Sheng Peiyin for the first time.
"What's the matter?" Sheng Peiyin asked.
The Ninth Prince hesitated for a moment. He kept Sheng Peiyin's knowledge of the caravan transporting rice to the northwest, but after the passion between the two of them passed, he let it go.
"Have you told anyone about the rice transportation?" Ninth Prince asked in a low voice, his eyelids drooping.
Sheng Peiyin was startled for a moment, and she didn't speak for a long time. Just when the Ninth Prince thought she was angry, she asked, "Do you think I leaked the news?"
"Yin'er, I'm just asking." Ninth Prince said.
"You just doubted me. You thought I leaked the news, so the golden man attacked us." Sheng Peiyin stood up with tears in her eyes, looking at him sadly and disappointedly.
"Yin'er..." Ninth Prince reached out to hold her.
Sheng Peiyin shook off his hand, placed the porcelain bowl heavily on the table, and ran out weeping.
The Ninth Prince's heart tightened, he struggled to stand up and wanted to catch up, but who knew he stood up, his eyes went dark, he felt dizzy for a while, he fell back to his seat, the wound on his back was pulled, his whole body twitched in pain stand up.
"Yin'er..." he cried out in pain.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, are you alright?" The prince hurried in when he heard the pain of the Ninth Prince outside the door, and saw that the Ninth Prince was lying on the side of the bed and couldn't stand upright, so he strode over to help him up.
Seeing that it was His Highness the Crown Prince, the Ninth Prince tried his best to hold back the severe pain in his back, trying to pretend he was okay, "It's okay, it's just a carelessness."
His Royal Highness frowned and shook his head. He saw Sheng Peiyin going out from here just now, and he thought that the Ninth Prince's behavior had something to do with her.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, since you don't like your father's gift of marriage, you just tell your father directly, why did you leave the capital for so many years, and you were almost killed by a golden man..." The crown prince sighed, "If you want to marry Sheng Peiyin , I still want to advise you to think twice."
Sheng Peiyin's behavior... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really doesn't want this woman to become a member of the royal family.
Ninth Prince smiled wryly, "Your Highness, why do you say that?"
"I'm afraid you don't know yet that Sheng Peiyin used the dead men in your mansion to assassinate Shen Ziqiao..." The prince simply said Sheng Peiyin's viciousness.
The Ninth Prince really didn't know about this, because he was no longer in the capital at that time, and before he left, he told the people in the palace that Sheng Peiyin's orders were his orders, and they had to obey her orders.
He never thought that Sheng Peiyin would kill Shen Ziqiao.
"What did Shen Ziqiao do to hurt her?" Ninth Prince hurriedly asked, his beloved woman has always been a strong and kind person, how could she just kill someone casually, there must be something wrong.
The prince knows that the Ninth Prince has a deep affection for Sheng Peiyin, so he must be unwilling to believe her viciousness, "Uncle Ninth Emperor, don't be fooled again, Jiaojiao just saved the little Huangsun and provoked her resentment, such a woman, no It is worth your life to save."
