As soon as Shi Qingxue heard the "clack" and "clack" of horse hooves, she immediately raised her head in surprise and saw a dark brown horse running towards them step by step.
The speed is not fast, as if he is deliberately suppressing the instinct to run, just to protect his master's safety.
Only then did Qingxue notice that the horse was carrying someone on its back.
The man was wearing long dark clothes, lying on the horse like a puppet with its strings cut off, his hands and feet hanging limply on the ground, as if he was dead.
Shi Qingxue didn't see the person's face clearly, but the familiar clothes alone were enough to send a chill down her back, and her heart seemed to jump into her throat.
Shi Qingxue hurried forward and held the man's hand eagerly, "What's wrong with you?"
The man who was lying on the horse reluctantly raised his eyelids from his sleep, half-closed and half-opened. It seemed that it took him some time to see the person clearly.
Then he opened his dry lips and uttered two words with difficulty: "Save him!"
Then, before waiting, Qingxue asked the other person who he was, but the other person's face twisted and he fainted.
"Your Highness Ninth Prince!" Shi Qingxue screamed in shock, and she made a prompt decision and helped Dong Shuang off the horse together.
But she, a woman, couldn't pick up a tall and thick man, so she could only wait for Wei Zichao to bring him back to the room, and then call for the doctor.
It was the same old doctor who treated Ye Zhixin before.
This invites people to take pulses and write prescriptions...
After a series of actions, the sun was approaching noon.
Ye Zhixin finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Liu Niang, aren't we going to Shangcun?"
Shi Qingxue was pretentious and had no time to take care of Ye Zhixin's little thoughts, so she responded casually: "What? Are you so eager to save your heir apparent?"
Then, Ye Zhixin's face instantly turned red as a tomato.
There was no need to tell the answer, but Ye Zhixin waved her hands to deny it in a subtle way, "No, no, Zhixin is just worried that something will happen to the prince. She has no other intentions. Please don't misunderstand me."
Shi Qingxue: "..."
She was puzzled. She obviously didn't say anything and her attitude was very casual, but when it came to Ye Zhixin, she became jealous and raped - even though she had the qualifications.
Shi Qingxue shook her head, stopped her random thoughts, stopped talking nonsense with Ye Zhixin, and turned to Dong Shuang and told Dong Shuang: "Send Miss Ye back to her room and take good care of her."
The subtext is don't let her bother me if nothing happens.
Dongshuang blinked and immediately "understood", said "Hey" happily, and then said with an attitude that could not be refused: "Miss Ye, please come back!"
Ye Zhixin was still unwilling to leave, and said coquettishly: "But Zhixin still wants to wait for the prince to wake up and ask him about the prince's condition."
She was so worried, as if she was Mo Junyang's unmarried wife.
Dongshuang rolled her eyes. She didn't care about anything and asked directly, "What does this have to do with you?"
Now it was Ye Zhixin's turn to choke heavily, and the worried look on her face became distorted.
Soon, she showed that aggrieved expression again and sobbed softly: "No, Zhi Xin didn't mean anything else. Zhi Xin was just worried..."
"Is it your turn?" Dongshuang sneered, not giving Ye Zhixin any time to pretend to be a white lotus.
The cold and ruthless attitude clearly told Ye Zhixin: pretending to be pitiful in front of her won't work!
Then, Ye Zhixin no longer gave her a chance to tell the difference, and she was so tough that she even dragged the person out.
Shi Qingxue watched Dong Shuang's movements throughout the whole process and couldn't help but give her little maid a big thumbs up, "Dong Shuang is so awesome!"
Shi Qingxue had her own reserve, and due to her status, there were many things that she couldn't care about with Ye Zhixin.
She didn't care about her own image, but she couldn't just rush forward and drive them away when someone showed affection towards Mo Junyang, right
The son of her family is so great, so people will make irresponsible remarks only if he doesn't have admirers, right
If you are sensible, Qingxue will automatically retreat when you see it, at least it will not come forward like Ye Zhixin, which will not make people upset.
Fortunately, Dongshuang was an expert at dealing with that kind of pretentious white lotus, and sent him away in just a few words.
Wei Zichao on the side was still pretending to be invisible. When he heard Shi Qingxue's praise, a smile finally appeared on his cold face and he responded softly: "She is very good."
Shi Qingxue: "..."
I feel heartbroken. What should I do if someone suddenly stuffs me with dog food
Shi Liuniang suddenly realized that the little maid might no longer belong to her family soon.
At this time, the old doctor finally wrote the prescription and handed it to Shi Qingxue. He warned: "The prince suffered severe internal injuries and became unconscious. The young lady needs to take the medicine according to the prescription, three doses a day, and take it continuously first." Let’s talk about it in two days to strengthen our foundation and cultivate our talents.”
Shi Qingxue handed the prescription to Dong Shuang and asked the old doctor: "When will the prince wake up?"
The old doctor frowned in embarrassment, "It's hard to say. The prince's coma is also a kind of self-protection, and it is easier to recover. If he is forcibly awakened, it may be more difficult to recover."
After hearing this, Shi Qingxue had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in her chest and gave up the idea of waking up Wei Zichao.
"Then please ask the old doctor to stay in the mansion temporarily to take care of the prince."
Naturally, the old doctor didn't respond, and even took the initiative to help Dong Shuang prepare the medicine.
Shi Qingxue sat by the bed, looking at Mo Junzhan's childish face that was pale and weak, and felt mixed emotions in his heart for a while.
She had never seen Mo Junzhan look so fragile, so she wondered what was happening to Mo Junyang at this time
Will it be worse than Mo Junzhan...
Shi Qingxue shook her head quickly, clenched her little hands and whispered: "No, no!"
This was not meant for others to hear, it was simply for self-comfort, but Wei Zichao still heard it.
The guard took a step forward and held his hand, "Liu Niang, why don't you ask your subordinate to go to Shang Village. Even if he can't help the master, he can still understand the situation."
But this time Qingxue refused. She said in a calm and almost cold voice: "What's the use of understanding the situation? What we need now is to solve the problem!"
She paused and then asked, "Zi Chao, can you see how Jun Zhan was injured?"
"When my subordinate was changing the prince's clothes just now, I saw a deep palm mark on the prince's back. This should be the source of the prince's internal injuries."
When Shi Qingxue heard this, she looked a little startled, and murmured in a low voice: "It's a palm injury! Who can actually hurt him? What about Jun Yang? Is he injured?"
I clearly warned myself not to think in a bad direction, but my thoughts were like wild beasts coming out of the box and I couldn't control them at all.
Now she wished she had a pair of wings and could fly to Mo Junyang in one fell swoop. Regardless of the potential risks and troubles, she just wanted to see Mo Junyang and confirm that he was safe.
However, Shi Qingxue is Shi Qingxue after all. She is past the age of impulsiveness, especially when Mo Junyang is not around, she is stronger.
She rationally analyzed the situation and then assigned tasks to the people below: Dongshuang and the old doctor were responsible for taking care of Mo Junzhan's illness, Wei Zichao was responsible for looking after his safety, and she sent all the remaining subordinates out to find out the news.
The Ninth Prince is seriously injured and Prince Mo is missing. Some people should be unable to sit still!
Shi Qingxue's guess was correct. After the old doctor made the diagnosis that Mo Junzhan was seriously injured and unable to wake up, Yan Xu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, finished the matters at hand and arrived late.
As soon as Yan Xu entered the door, he first confessed: "This matter is because of Xianguan's poor thinking. Shangcun is such a dangerous place, but Xianguan did not stop him in advance, and allowed the prince to go and get injured. Xianguan really deserves to be punished." Death, your sin deserves death!"
Shi Qingxue looked at Yan Xu coldly, with an expression as if he was singing a big show, and let him sing a one-man show by himself.
Yan Xu didn't feel embarrassed either, and vividly performed his self-blame, regret, heartbreak, and helplessness.
At the end, with a serious look on his face, he suddenly asked: "I wonder where Prince Mo is at this time?"
Shi Qingxue's eyebrows jumped, but she quickly regained her calm expression and asked calmly: "Master Yan asked me, who should I ask?"
Yan Xu's treacherous eyes glanced back and forth at Shi Qingxue several times, as if he wanted to poke a hole in Shi Qingxue, but in the end he still couldn't judge the authenticity of Qingxue's words.
He calmed down his expression again, patted his head, and laughed slowly, "I almost forgot that Prince Mo went to Shangcun Village with the Ninth Prince. Now the Prince is seriously injured and has not woken up, and the whereabouts of everyone else are unknown. I really don’t know where Prince Mo is at this time
But please rest assured, Miss Shiliu. The official immediately sent more people to Shangcun to look for Prince Mo and ensured that he could be brought back safely. "
Shi Qingxue knew very well that Mo Junyang had not returned yet, and most likely he had something to do with the Jiangzhou prefect in front of him.
She really wanted to ask the other party: If Mo Junyang could not be guaranteed to return safely, could Yan Xu commit suicide and apologize
However, Qingxue had no intention of joking with the other party now, and was unwilling to say more to Yan Xu, so she waved her hand and drove him out.
Yan Xu didn't even wink at all, he still stood willingly, with a worried look on his face, and said: "Xiaoguan saw that the prince was seriously injured and needed someone to take care of him. It happened that there was a maid in the palace who was good at this, so he asked Shi Liu The lady left the prince in the care of his subordinates.
This... will also be of great benefit to Miss Sixth's reputation, right? "
The last sentence was so meaningful, and coupled with Yan Xu's malicious eyes, Shi Qingxue just felt sick.
She couldn't understand why Yan Xu was threatening her!
She was already engaged, and it was easy to decide what to do with her family, but she had to be restrained even with Mo Junyang in front of others, not to mention that the person she was currently taking care of was still the unmarried Ninth Prince.
Plus Yan Xu, a busybody.
Shi Qingxue didn't have to use her brain to figure out how Yan Xu planned to discredit her and Mo Junzhan.
But the more Yan Xu said this, the less likely Shi Qingxue would leave Mo Junzhan in his hands.
Regardless of whether the other party had other agendas or simply wanted to show off in front of Mo Junzhan, she could not let the other party succeed.
The question is, how can she protect herself and Mo Junzhan at the same time
