Chapter 39 Injured
Qiu Heng heard an inaudible hum.
She got up from Xue Han, feeling a little confused: "Are you hurt?"
"How could that happen?" Xue Han put his hands on the ground and jumped up neatly.
Qiu Heng quickly walked around behind him, and saw that the clothes on his back shoulders were torn to pieces, and a branch was submerged into his flesh and blood.
Under the huge impact, the branches turned into sharp knives, enough to hurt people.
Qiu Heng stared at the wound, feeling guilty.
Although she would still make the choice to take Brother Bai's place as hostage if she had it to do over again, it didn't mean that she was indifferent to Xue Han's injury to save her.
Where did his kindness towards her come from? We can't still suspect that she is a craftsman and want to get close to her?
And she would not refuse his approach.
Who let his adoptive father Xue Quan... be one of the five thieves?
According to historical records, the eunuch Xue Quan colluded with Prime Minister Fang internally and externally to control the government and offered elixir to Emperor Jingping when he was ill, causing Emperor Jingping to vomit blood and die.
After that, the eleven-year-old little prince succeeded to the throne. He was in charge of the young country and looked down upon foreigners. Soon the country's capital fell and he fled south to Linzhou. From then on, the land of Daxia was no longer intact and eventually perished.
The husband told her that if the late emperor was still there, Northern Qi would not take action so quickly, and there might be a turn for the better in Daxia.
She is just a farm girl and does not understand these important national affairs, but her husband is a national teacher and a real person, so what he says always makes sense.
Xue Han raised his hand and touched his back shoulder, and felt a hand of blood. He smiled at the girl with a guilty look in her eyes: "This kind of skin injury is nothing. Just apply the golden sore medicine and it will be fine. Don't cry."
Qiu Heng's mood fluctuated for a moment and then calmed down: "Master Xue, did you bring the golden sore medicine? I will help you apply the medicine."
"No need." Xue Han looked in the direction he came from, "Here comes someone."
Not just one person came, but a group of people.
There were Ling Yun and his party, the Imperial City Secretary and his party, the Taoist priests from Qingfeng Temple, and further away there were even ordinary people who were just watching the excitement.
Because of Xuanyang's threat, these people could only follow from a distance, and only rushed over after seeing the horse carrying Xuanyang away.
Running at the front was Fangzhou.
"Girl, are you okay??" Fangzhou squeezed between Qiu Heng and Xue Han and hugged Qiu Heng tightly.
Ling Yun and the head of Jiayi County came over later.
"Ah Heng, are you injured?" Jiayi County Lord approached Qiu Heng and asked.
Ling Yun rushed to Xue Han and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Mr. Xue, for saving Ah Heng."
By this time, Ling Yun no longer wanted to hide his differences with Qiu Heng.
They are not strangers, but have a deep friendship.
He cares about her and cares about her, and Aheng is no less important than Jiayi in his heart.
After all, he is the prince of the county, so people know his attitude towards Ah Heng. He should be more cautious when dealing with Ah Heng in the future, instead of bullying her at will. She once lived in the mountains and her family status has declined.
"Young Master Ling, you're welcome." Xue Han wiped the blood stains on his hands on his clothes, "Xizuo ran away. I have something to arrange, so I'll take my leave now."
He said nothing more to Qiu Heng, and led a group of men to pursue Xuanyang in the direction of his escape. When he reached a shelter, he said to Hu Si: "Help me take care of the wound."
Hu Sidao said yes, using a dagger to neatly open the clothes near the wound, and pulled out the branch that was submerged in the flesh.
Blood spattered out and was quickly blocked by the kerchief. Hu Si bared his teeth and said, "Sir, the wound is not clean. We need to find a doctor to deal with it as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Xue Han didn't say anything stupid that focused on catching details.
He cherishes his life very much.
When I was a beggar, I lived an idle life and worked hard to grow up. Of course I have to live well now.
"It's best to contact people along the way as soon as possible to recover them."
"Yes."
Xuanyang was not found in the end. He abandoned his horse midway and plunged headlong into the mountains, where he would not be able to find it in a short time.
Because Xuanyang almost kidnapped Ling Shizi, the matter caused a stir in the capital. Emperor Jingping also knew about it and was furious that Xizuo was not captured.
Xue Han knelt in the palace and listened to the emperor's attack.
"Xue Han, I gave you such an important government office as the Imperial City Division, and this is how you do it?"
A chamberlain came to report: "Your Majesty, the crown prince of Kang County, Lingyun, wants to see you."
Emperor Jingping raised his eyebrows: "Send him to come in."
Soon Ling Yun walked in.
"Your Majesty, Lingyun, has met."
Facing his nephew, Emperor Jingping was much gentler: "What's the matter with Yun'er?"
"I have come to plead guilty to Your Majesty."
"Oh, why is that?"
Ling Yun glanced at Xue Han: "Miss Qiu Liu was kidnapped by Xizuo to save me. I couldn't just watch something happen to her, so I asked Mr. Xue to take the hostage as a hostage, so that Xizuo escaped. In terms of responsibility, it is my responsibility, not Mr. Xue, please punish me.”
Emperor Jingping was silent for a moment and sighed: "That's all, I won't do it next time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xue Han and Ling Yun said in unison.
After he exited the palace and no one else was around, Xue Quan kicked him over: "You bastard, that Prince Ling is a descendant of the clan, my nephew, how can you compare with him? He asked you to take the hostages as your priority, so you take the hostages as your priority , Don’t you want to think about the consequences of letting go?”
Xue Han listened with downcast eyes and did not argue.
After getting angry, Xue Quan let it go: "You will be more careful in the future and correct your position."
"The child knows."
Xue Quan nodded and was about to leave, then stopped: "I remember that the one who sued Han Ziheng, the son of Han Wu, was Miss Qiuliu?"
"Yes."
"Why is it her again? Is there anything special about this little girl?" The little girl he picked up casually and used as a swordsman left almost no trace in his heart, but now it finally aroused Xue Quan's curiosity.
Xue Han knew that there were some things that he couldn't hide: "Miss Qiu Liu and Prince Ling have known each other since they were in the south."
"She, a country girl, knows the prince of the county?"
"A coincidence——"
Xue Quan sneered: "Most chances and coincidences are calculated. You should stay away from that little girl in the future, and don't be fooled by random flowers."
"Got it."
Qiu Heng, whom Xue Quan found out to be deliberate, was being counted out by the old lady.
"How come you are so capable of getting into trouble? When you go to a Taoist temple as a guest at the prince's palace, you encounter Xizuo and almost lose your life..." The old lady became more and more angry as she spoke, "Do you know, Now the whole city knows that Miss Qiu Liu was kidnapped by Xizuo!”
"How quickly did it spread?" Qiu Heng asked.
The old lady took a deep breath and said, "Go to the ancestral hall -" She wanted to go to the ancestral hall and kneel down, but suddenly she thought of Uncle Yongqing, and sent someone to shout with a dark face.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She wanted to see what the old man said this time.
Uncle Yongqing came back after hearing about the story between Xi Zuo and Miss Qiu Liu.
"Uncle, you should show some restraint when you love Liu Yatou, otherwise he will make her lawless. Look at her. She sued the son of a high-ranking official privately before but was not taught a lesson. Now she is causing trouble again."
Uncle Yongqing couldn't bear to hear that the old lady stepped on Han Ziheng. This was his pride, but it was a pity that he was walking in brocade clothes at night.
"There is no need to mention the past, just discuss the matter."
The old lady felt as if she had choked on a chicken and felt uncomfortable.
"What about now? Now the whole city is talking about Liu Yatou. Isn't it embarrassing?"
Uncle Yongqing looked at Qiu Heng.
The girl lowered her head slightly, as if she was staying aloof from the incident.
Uncle Yongqing coughed: "Heng'er, I heard that it was Prince Ling who Xizuo wanted to kidnap at first?"
"Yes. My granddaughter subconsciously pushed away Prince Ling, and then fell into the hands of Xizuo." Qiu Heng showed confusion, "Now the whole city knows that granddaughter saved the crown prince, isn't it a good thing?"
Uncle Yongqing laughed: "No!"
No matter what happens to the Prince of Kang County, he cannot help but accept this sentiment. If the uncle's house is in trouble someday and he asks the county prince's house, if the county prince's house doesn't care about it at all, it will make people gossip.
This is equivalent to having an extra network of people. Compared with it, being talked about for a few days is nothing.
The old lady didn't think so: "Liu Yatou is a girl after all. What's the benefit of being famous?"
After saving the prince's son, those people might be more polite when dealing with Liu Yatou, but when it comes to choosing a daughter-in-law, who would want to choose a famous one?
"What are you afraid of when you do good deeds? You should also be more open-minded. Don't always get angry and hurt yourself when you are old." Uncle Yongqing gave perfunctory advice and smiled lovingly at Qiu Heng, "Heng'er was frightened. , go back and have a good rest.”
"Granddaughter resigned."
Seeing her granddaughter leaving quickly, the old lady was secretly sulking.
There are times when this girl regrets!
The thank-you gift from Kangjun Prince's Palace was quickly delivered. Gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, all in styles suitable for a little girl.
In addition, there is an invitation, inviting the old lady and Qiu Heng to visit the prince's mansion.
The old lady was preparing for the banquet, and Qiu Heng also prepared a box of red bean cakes and two bottles of high-quality gold sore medicine bought at a high cost, and asked Aunt Yu to deliver them to Xue Han.
Aunt Yu was stunned when she was entrusted with the important task.
She is a nanny, how can she ask the sixth girl to give her the task of delivering gifts to her foreign husband?
Sure enough, snacks are not free.
"Master Xue was injured while saving me. Although he lacks everything, it would be ungrateful for me to show no expression and I would also be ashamed of Grandma's teachings. Isn't that right, Grandma Yu?"
Aunt Fish: "..."
I've been fishing and haven't taught anything.
But I have to say that Miss Six is right. There is no distinction between men and women when it comes to repaying kindness.
"After much thought, no matter whether it is Fangzhou, Qingluo or Mother Wang, it is more suitable for Aunt Yu to make this trip."
Aunt Yu couldn't help but nodded: "Indeed, then leave it to the slave. Don't worry, Miss Six, I will definitely deliver the things."
But you can't let the little maid go, it would be too easy for people to misunderstand. In order to clear the reputation of the sixth girl, this trip must be hers!
It is much more convenient for a servant woman like Aunt Yu to go out than for the female family members of the uncle's house. She can just pick up her things and walk away.
The Imperial City Department is located in the Imperial City and cannot be entered by ordinary people. However, people from the Imperial City Department can be seen everywhere on the streets recently. Mother Yu observed and observed and selected one person.
The young man has an upright appearance, a grin and dimples. He should be the confidant of Mr. Xue described by Miss Six.
"My lord, please stay."
Hu Si paused and picked his ears.
Why do these words sound so familiar?
He looked over and saw a middle-aged woman.
"What's the matter, aunt?"
"I'm looking for Mr. Xue."
Hu Si raised his eyebrows.
The words sounded familiar.
Aunt Yu smiled politely and said: "I am the nanny next to the sixth girl of the Yongqing uncle's house. Our girl is grateful to Mr. Xue for his help and specially ordered me to send a thank you gift."
Hu Si's mouth twitched.
Just saying it sounded familiar, it turned out to be red bean cake!
I recommend Yun Ji’s new book "Jiao Ling". Come and watch and collect it. Introduction: The princess seizes the throne and asks her father to die!
