They searched every corner of Tianshui Alley and found seventeen corpses. Every one of them was someone that Ning Shu saw every day. Fortunately, they didn't find Forsythia and Ji'er. Xiahou Qing personally carried Hui Mo into the carriage and placed him on his knees. He ordered Jiusi to drive the carriage back to the wang fu as fast as possible for treatment.
There were thirty-seven wounds, each one of them to the bone. Hui Mo was pierced into a sieve full of holes. Countless bones and tendons were broken. It was obvious that he fought to his last breath and still defended his duty. The most fatal wound on his body pierced his heart and went all the way to the back. If it was someone else, they would have died. Fortunately, he had practiced the bone-shrinking skill since he was a child. When he was hit by this fatal blow, he instinctively moved his heart and left him with a chance to live. But with such a serious injury, even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would not be able to use his skills as freely as before. He would become half a useless person.
Ning Shu reached out her soft palm and gently placed it on the back of Xiahou Qing's hand. Neither of them spoke. The lights of the Qixi Festival completely dimmed. The entire capital returned to silence and darkness. There was no light in the distant sky. It seemed that it would never be dawn.
The most skilled doctor in Nanping wang fu was Hui Mo himself. In order to cure the poison of the plum blossom kiss, Mr. Duan went to Nanjiang. No doctor in the capital could cure him. The Imperial Hospital heard that the doctor from Nanping wang fu had come and closed the door. In the end, it was the thirteenth princess who heard the news. She broke the palace door in the middle of the night. She held a sword against the neck of the doctor and took him to the wang fu.
When he saw Hui Mo's injuries, Xiao Zhangping's eyes instantly turned red. He turned his head and did not dare to look. But he still insisted on staying by the side and waiting for the results.
"He'll be fine, don't worry." Ning Shu held Xiahou Qing's slightly cold hand, forced a smile, and said in the most relaxed tone, "He's a very lucky child. Ten years ago, when he was on the verge of death, he happened to meet you and was saved by you. This time, he'll definitely be saved."
Xiahou Qing took a deep breath and intertwined his fingers with hers, exchanging the power of each other's existence. It was as if with this person beside him, no matter how difficult the situation was, he could endure it.
He whispered, "Hui Mo has been practicing the Bone Shrinking Skill since he was a child. His bones and tendons have been broken and regenerated countless times. This time, he will definitely be able to survive. However, Ji 'er's whereabouts are still unknown."
Ning Shu tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "His whereabouts are unknown. Doesn't that mean he's safe and sound? Otherwise, Cao Hou wouldn't have made such an unnecessary move. Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. I'm not that emotional. Being impulsive will only make the situation worse. "
Xiahou Qing turned his face, as if he was using his soul to stare at her deeply. They held each other's hands even tighter.
This night, they were both losers.
The Imperial Physician was indeed a national expert. After a night of treatment, he finally saved Hui Mo's life. Thirteenth Princess personally took the warm water and handkerchief from the maidservant and squatted beside Hui Mo. She carefully wiped the dried blood on his face. Her hands and feet were so gentle as if she was afraid to wake him up from his dream.
Her lips were trembling, but she tried to maintain her usual arrogance in front of him, as if that was the only way to prove that this was a small matter and that everything was fine. "Don't think too much. This princess is beautiful and kind. Seeing that we barely know each other, I can't bear to see you die. That's why I'm so kind to find someone to save you. Do you understand?"
"Staying to take care of you is also convenient. Last night, I impulsively left the palace and broke the palace rules. When I go back, I will be punished. Anyway, I have no place to go. I can only reluctantly stay here for a few more days. Humph, no one dares to drive me away."
"Last night, there was a lamp outside my palace wall. It was you who hung it there. You're not smart, but you're quite capable and brave. How dare you trespass into the palace? Be careful that one day your head will fall off and no one will feel sorry for you."
"… Hurry up and get better. You promised me that you would save up enough money to treat me to the best food in the world. Although this princess doesn't like it, a man can't go back on his word. You can't go back on your words …"
