The people on the ship were surprisingly quiet tonight. Probably because of the life-and-death experience today, their mood was still a little heavy.
In the face of the pirates, Ye Zhen was still very calm. Lying quietly on the bed at night, looking at the round and big moon in the sky, she finally had a trace of fear.
If she hadn't shot Bai Ziqi by accident today, maybe … she might have been captured or killed by the pirates. How sad would her father and Mo Rongzhan be if they knew?
Ye Zhen was most reluctant to let her relatives be sad for her, whether it was her father or … Mo Rongzhan.
Thinking of Mo Rongzhan, there was a trace of pain and longing in the tip of her heart.
He should know that she left the capital. He must be very angry. She left without even saying goodbye to him.
Ye Zhen took out the night-luminescent pearl he gave her. He knew that she had to leave the capital and told her to wait for him to pick her up. She believed … he would come to Dongqing to pick her up.
"Miss Lu, Miss Lu!" Suddenly, an urgent call came from outside the door.
Sleeping on the soft couch, Ye Zhen immediately woke up and put on her clothes. "Miss, it seems to be Yu Niang's maid."
Ye Zhen sat up. "Maybe her injury has changed."
Hong Ying said as she helped Ye Zhen change her clothes. "Fortunately, the disguise Lord Ye gave you can last for a long time. Otherwise, you will definitely be discovered."
"In a few days, I won't need to disguise." Ye Zhen whispered with a smile. When she arrived in Dongqing, she could restore her original appearance. She could not enter the palace as a doctor, but she would have to disguise herself. At that time, it would be easier to be discovered.
After dressing up, the master and servant went to the next room. There were only two maids in the room. Shen Yuexuan was not here.
"Miss Lu, our … our madam's whole body is hot. What should we do?"
Ye Zhen nodded. "Didn't I prescribe her medicine? Give her the medicine. "
"Here, but the madam can't take the medicine …" A maid cried anxiously.
"Let me do it." Ye Zhen said lightly.
With great difficulty, she fed Yu Niang a bowl of medicine and wiped her body with warm water. It was not until the middle of the night that Yu Niang's body finally stopped burning.
At this time, Shen Yuexuan finally heard the news and rushed over. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ye Zhen taking Yu Niang's pulse. A smile appeared on his face. "Miss Lu, how is Yu Niang?"
Ye Zhen looked back and saw Murong Ke behind Shen Yuexuan. Although he was standing outside the door, his eyes were fixed on her.
"It's not a big deal. He should wake up tomorrow." Ye Zhen whispered to Shen Yuexuan.
Shen Yuexuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss Lu, I owe you a favor."
Ye Zhen originally wanted to say that it was no trouble at all, but then she felt that it was not good to let the richest man in Dongqing owe her a favor. She didn't lose out at all, and he owed her anyway. "Master Shen, you're too polite. I might need your help in the future."
"Haha, Miss Lu is truly a straightforward person." Shen Yuexuan was secretly amazed. It seemed that this little girl was not naive and ignorant. She was very smart.
"I won't disturb Lady Jade's rest. I'll go back first." Ye Zhen said in a low voice and bowed to Shen Yuexuan. She pretended not to see Murong Ke standing by the door and wanted to go back to her room.
Murong Ke stretched out his injured hand to stop her. "Miss Lu, shouldn't you also check my wound?"
"You don't have to. You certainly won't die." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"That's hard to say. Why can't I die?" Murong Ke's mouth held a smile. He had seen Li Yuniang's injury and thought that it must be hopeless. He didn't expect this little girl to save her so easily.
It seemed that he still underestimated her.
"Haven't you heard of a saying?" Ye Zhen's mouth slightly raised, "A scourge lives for a thousand years."
The handsome smile on Murong Ke's mouth finally froze. "How am I a scourge?"
Ye Zhen glanced at his hand. "I don't think your hand is crippled. Don't worry too much."
What could he do in the middle of the night? Would there be a problem with his hand?
Murong Ke looked at her slightly. "Little girl, if my hand is crippled, will you be responsible for me?"
"If your hand is crippled and you can't eat, I will send you a maid." Ye Zhen said coldly, pushed his hand away and went back to her room.
"Lu Zhenzhen!" Murong Ke was so angry that his teeth itched. No woman had ever been so indifferent to him.
Pfft! A chuckle sounded behind him.
Murong Ke turned his head with a cold face. "Master Shen, do you think it's funny?"
Shen Yuexuan put away the smile on his face. "I've known Master Liu for so many years, but it's the first time I've seen you suffer."
"Who is she?" Murong Ke asked. He was finally interested in a little girl.
"Lu Zhenzhen, a little orphan girl who went to Dongqing to find her relatives." Shen Yuexuan said.
Murong Ke sneered. "Can a little orphan girl casually board your Shen family's ship?"
Shen Yuexuan frowned and thought for a moment. "You know that I never care about passenger ships. Maybe someone arranged it for her. Master Liu, do you think there's a problem with her?"
"Not really." Murong Ke just wanted to know her background. "I will let someone check her identity. How do you plan to deal with Bai Ziqi and Li Yuniang?"
"Bai Ziqi is not a person who will risk his life for a woman. I don't believe what he said just now. But what Li Yuniang said … I think it's somewhat credible. Everything will have to wait until she wakes up to know the truth." Shen Yuexuan said.
Murong Ke said in a low voice, "Bai Ziqi and Cao Lei are different. Although Cao Lei is powerful, his heart to subdue people is not as good as Bai Ziqi. Although Bai Ziqi is in our hands, he is not afraid at all. I think he is sure that someone will come to save him."
Shen Yuexuan snorted. "With him in our hands, do we still need to be afraid that those pirates will dare to hit the ship?"
"How you want to deal with Bai Ziqi is your business. But, don't forget the important matter." Murong Ke's voice became cold.
"Master Liu, don't worry." Shen Yuexuan's expression turned cold. He no longer dared to have a playful smile on his face.
Murong Ke faintly looked at him, turned around and walked away.
Shen Yuexuan returned to Li Yuniang's room. Looking at the woman who was still unconscious, he frowned slightly and ordered the people around him. "Who is that Lu Zhenzhen? Go and ask the captain."
"Yes, Master Shen."
After a while, the captain was called.
"… To tell the truth, Master Shen, Miss Lu is actually the daughter of a family friend from my hometown. This time, she came to me for help. I heard that she wanted to go to King's City to find her uncle. I saw that she was very pitiful, so I … let her board the ship." The captain hurriedly explained.
Shen Yuexuan nodded and sent the captain away.
Isn't it just a little orphan girl? What problem would there be?
