Na Tuo looked condescendingly at Jing Xuan, who had been tortured by him.
He was still angry and said, "I'll let you go tonight, but listen, once I find out that you have something to do with those assassins, I'll make you wish you were dead."
After that, he left.
Gong Shi Lin stood in place and waited for Na Tuo to leave. He squatted down and looked at the woman in front of him with distress.
"Are you okay?"
Jing Xuan lowered her head and pulled the clothes in front of her chest.
She didn't look at him.
Gong Shi Lin couldn't help but reach out his hand and reach for the top of her head bit by bit. However, when his fingertips just touched her hair, he retracted his hand again.
He clenched his fists tightly!
He wanted to hug her right now and give her all his warmth.
But he knew that he couldn't!
It was impossible between him and this woman.
And reason also restrained his impulse.
There were thousands of words in his heart, but he gathered them into one sentence, "Princess, everything depends on your body."
He didn't know how to comfort people since he was a child, let alone a woman.
What's more, at this moment, no words were enough to calm the pain in Jing Xuan's heart!
Hearing this, Jing Xuan slowly raised her bloodshot eyes and looked at him.
When she saw the person in front of her, all her vigilance was relaxed!
Her lips trembled and said, "Thank you."
She was very sincere.
"I couldn't help you much." As he spoke, Gong Shi Lin took out a handkerchief from his lapel and extended it to the corner of her eye that was bleeding from the stab wound.
He gently wiped the blood for her.
Jing Xuan stared at the man in front of her. Her mood was complicated.
She had been in Huyi for a year. She had tasted the indifference of the world and suffered a lot. But this man helped her again and again. It was undoubtedly not a timely help.
This kindness was like a warm sun in winter, tightly wrapping around her body.
"In one day, you saved me twice." Her voice was very soft.
It seemed to be mixed with the thick taste of blood in her mouth.
Gong Shi Lin's heart trembled. His eyes gradually became wet, but in an instant, he covered it up very well.
He said, "If it were anyone else, they would do the same."
"Thank you."
"It's nothing."
He left the handkerchief and got up to leave.
Jing Xuan couldn't help but shed tears as she looked at his back.
At this moment, all the grievances and pain suddenly surged up.
It was as if it wanted to tear her into pieces.
It was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
However, she had promised Jing Rong that she would live a good life.
He wouldn't commit suicide.
The maidservants standing at the side looked at each other.
However, a human's heart was not made of steel.
Although those maidservants followed Na Tuo's order to keep an eye on Jing Xuan, who was just a nominal princess, they had known her for a year. More or less, they felt sorry for her.
Therefore, he stepped forward and slowly helped her up.
"Princess, are you alright?"
She didn't say anything and let them help her weak body to sit on the couch.
The maidservants were busy applying medicine and grooming her.
She sat motionless, clutching in her hand the gray handkerchief Kyong Shilling had left her.
…
Bai Yin brought Lang Po all the way from the Third Marquis' residence to the old mansion.
No one chased after them.
Lang Po saw Jing Rong leading him into the depths of the alley and said, "This place is really hidden. Who would come here to look for someone?"
"Then how did you find us?"
"We'll talk later."
The two of them arrived at the old mansion and pushed the door open. Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu were already waiting for them.
They were relieved to see that they had returned safely.
"Are you alright?" Jing Rong asked.
Bai Yin replied, "We're fine. We shook off those guards. Only Lang Po is a little injured."
Lang Po's lips were pale. One of his arms was stained with blood.
Jing Rong hurriedly pulled him into the room to bandage his wound.
Song Zhi fetched a basin of hot water and brought in many bottles and jars for healing.
He was very interested in this newcomer.
However, since he was injured, he couldn't ask too much.
He silently went out.
Ji Yunshu cut off his sleeve with a pair of scissors.
It was as if the sleeve was going to bleed.
His arm was crimson red.
The sword wound was very deep.
Ji Yunshu looked worried. She found some needles and disinfectants and said, "I'm going to stitch you up. It will hurt a little. You have to bear with it."
Lang Po had the appearance of a rough man. He smiled foolishly and said, "It's okay. Do as you please. I won't die anyway. "
Ji Yunshu was speechless.
She then concentrated on treating his wound.
Jing Rong stood at the side and watched. He was also very worried.
After a long time, she finally finished bandaging his wound.
The basin of hot water that Song Zhi brought in was already stained red.
Jing Rong asked him, "Why are you here?"
Lang Po said, "Actually, when you left the capital, I went to look for Qin Xi. However, I've been feeling uneasy lately. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I decided to come and look for you. I'll go back after I've finished my business."
Ji Yunshu asked, "What about Miss Qin Xi?"
"She's very good. She knows that I've been thinking about you. Moreover, when she saw that I was unhappy every day, she understood my feelings. That's why she told me to come to Huyi to look for you. After I've finished my business, I'll go back to look for her."
"You blockhead!" Ji Yunshu said.
Ah!
Lang Po said, "Miss Ji …"
"Miss Qin has been waiting for you for so long, but your mind is filled with thoughts of your Prince. Miss Qin Xi is magnanimous enough to let you come to us, but she must be very sad."
"This …" Lang Po scratched his head in embarrassment. "I didn't think too much about it. I was just worried that something might happen to you in Huyi, so I hurried over."
'What a blockhead!'
Jing Rong asked, "Then, how did you find us?" Lang Po said, "Actually, it was a coincidence. When I arrived at Haoding, I heard that there were two murders in the city. I heard that there was a Teacher Ji who could draw portraits by touching bones, so I knew it must be you. Then, I inquired about the city affairs department and heard that the Third Prince was holding a banquet tonight. He invited you and Miss Ji, so I followed him. After waiting outside for a while, I saw you come out. I was about to show myself, but you went in with Miss Ji. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I changed into night clothes and followed you in. Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong. Fortunately, you're fine.
Otherwise, I'll never forgive myself for the rest of my life. "
"Fortunately, you and Bai Yin came in time. Otherwise, we might not have been able to get out tonight."
Bai Yin said, "After you left, Lang Po and I almost couldn't get out. Fortunately, someone came to our aid."
'Huh?'
"Who?" Jing Rong asked.
"It's the person I injured before!"
"Him?" Jing Rong was shocked.
Lang Po was confused by their conversation. 'What do you mean by' him '?
He hurriedly asked, "Bai Yin, who is that person? What did he say to you before that we're even? He even said that his sword is with you. Did you have a grudge with him before? "
Bai Yin nodded. "We had a big grudge! I was even stabbed by him and almost died. "
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known, I would have avenged you. "Lang Po was agitated.
'You bullied my brother! I'll skin you alive!'
If Bai Yin had told him earlier, he would have fought with those people outside the Third Prince's residence.
