Lying behind him was a man covered in dust and blood, his hair hanging in a tangled mess with a lot of straw stuck in it, his face was stained black by the mud on the ground, his original features could not be seen clearly, only his pair of dark eyes were filled with passion and pleading, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw and feeling hope.
Mo Xiang was calm. As long as it was a human being, it was good. It was just that this wasteland was dubbed the "ghost land", which made her a little suspicious.
The man on the ground raised his head with great effort, looking at the two pretty women standing in front of him. As he moved, blood gushed out from his head again, flowing down his forehead. However, he was already numb from the pain, and said in a hoarse voice, "Help...Help me..."
Mo Xiang turned to look at Ji Lingxue for help: "Master..."
The man was seriously injured and looked like he was dying. It was really pitiful. There was nothing wrong in giving him a hand, but they were in the wilderness and if they saved someone they shouldn't save, it would bring disaster upon themselves.
Ji Lingxue said: "Let's take a look at his injuries."
Mo Xiang nodded, immediately squatted down to feel the man's pulse, then checked his injuries and said, "Master, he only has minor injuries. The real fatal injury is that he was given a chronic poison. He won't live long."
Ji Lingxue said, "He was poisoned by the same chronic poison as me. It seems his identity is not simple... Do your best to save him."
Mo Xiang nodded, "Okay." Then he took out the silver needles he carried with him and began to give acupuncture.
In the living room of the Ji Mansion, Ji Baichuan expressed that he was flattered by Xiao Yichen's sudden visit. He politely invited him to sit in the living room for a while, selected some fine tea to serve him, and waited for Xiao Yichen to tell him the purpose of his visit.
Xiao Yichen was also a patient person. He sipped tea and chatted about unimportant topics, from today's weather to the clothes they were wearing, but he never got to the point.
Finally, Ji Baichuan patiently asked, "Your Majesty, is there something you need when you come to visit me today?"
Xiao Yichen nodded, put down the teacup and said, "Today I went to the palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager mentioned that August 15th would be in two days, and asked me to bring Ji Lingxue to the palace to attend the palace banquet. She has been staying at the Ji Mansion for the past two days, and I am sorry to bother my father-in-law. Today I am here to take her back."
Ji Baichuan nodded quickly and couldn't help but praise himself in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't listen to his wife and drive Ji Lingxue out of the house, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
Ji Baichuan immediately asked the maid to invite Ji Lingxue out, and asked about Ji Yuqing's recent situation with an apologetic smile. What he was most concerned about was whether the two had consummated their marriage.
Xiao Yichen's face was indifferent, making it impossible to guess whether he was happy or angry. Ji Baichuan looked left and right, but didn't find any clues, so he could only sigh.
The maid ran back in a hurry, looking a little panicked, "Master, it's bad... The princess is not in the room."
"What? That silly girl, where would she run to? Have you searched the whole yard?" Ji Baichuan slammed the table and stood up when he heard that.
Xiao Yichen frowned. Yesterday, the spy he had planted in Ji Mansion came to report that Ji Lingxue was missing. He didn't believe it at the time. He didn't expect that the fool actually ran away from home!
"A-choo!" Ji Lingxue, who was sitting in the carriage on the way back, suddenly sneezed loudly. She raised her hand to rub her nose and couldn't help thinking, who else is thinking about me at this time
Mo Xiang smiled and said, "Maybe the prince is thinking about the princess!"
Yesterday they went to the western suburbs and picked up a man. They didn't know his identity at the moment, so they dumped him in a dilapidated temple outside the city and arranged for the beggars to take care of him. Ji Lingxue treated these beggars equally, and did not despise their identities and the smell on their bodies, in order to win the beggars' favor.
Ji Lingxue also bought them clothes and left them food. Now, these homeless beggars regarded Ji Lingxue as a living Bodhisattva and obeyed her words.
"Don't worry, girl. We will take good care of him for you and won't let him out of our sight."
