Xie Yan embraced Gu Ning, warm blood spattered on his fair and handsome cheeks, and slowly slid down.

"Ning'er!"

The eldest princess shouted anxiously, causing Xie Yan to come back rationally in an instant.

He covered the blood hole on Gu Ning's shoulder blade, the warm blood was in stark contrast to the body of his men who were gradually fading away.

For the first time in Xie Yan's 20-year career, he felt at a loss.

Why did she sacrifice herself to save herself?

However, the person who could answer his question had her eyes closed at this time, and she, who was usually the loudest, was now like a fragile porcelain doll, as if it would break if touched.

"Hurry up and invite the imperial doctor!" The eldest princess hugged Gu Ning without image, and yelled at the people around her, "How did you protect the county lord? How could the county lord suffer such serious injuries?"

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Xie Yan.

But seeing the numb Xie Yan, all her words were suppressed again.

The killers were eliminated one by one, but the old lady Yuan, who was at the end of her strength, laughed wildly.

"You ruined my original family! I ruined the granddaughter you care about the most!" She stared at the eldest princess, the hatred in her eyes almost turned into substance, "You will never have a better life in this life!"

The eldest princess's eyes gradually had murderous intent. For this old friend, she only hated herself for not being able to strike in time because she missed her old love!

"If there is something wrong with Ning'er, all of your original family will be buried with her!"

Throwing away these words, the Eldest Princess didn't look back, and she didn't have any nostalgia anymore.

After hearing these words, the old lady Yuan's face became ugly.

She clenched her hands tightly and was about to say something when she heard Nanny Gui lightly whispering beside her ear: "Old Madam Yuan, even if you colluded with Jiang Hui and committed the capital crime of selling illegal salt, the Princess will I didn't want to put you to death."

"Originally, the princess wanted you to pay for your crimes. As long as you tell the other aristocratic families involved in this matter one by one, and then hand over the evidence of your relationship with the Jiang family, you can avoid the death penalty of the whole Yuan family. It's a pity... Gui Momo sneered and said, "Old Madam Yuan seems to be still brooding over what happened back then."

Hearing this, the old lady Yuan's dead eyes became ferocious again: "Pei Lang is my fiancé! She stole Pei Lang!"

"Old Madam Yuan, be careful!" Nanny Gui snarled, "You were the one who coveted Yuan's family property and canceled the engagement without authorization, and the princess and Lord Hou met at the border later! If you say these words that tarnish the reputation of the princess, Even if the princess doesn't pursue it, I will report this matter to the emperor and punish you for disrespect!"

Madam Yuan's face was ashen, and she sat on the ground weakly, trying to hold something, but the jade pendant fell heavily on the ground and broke into several pieces.

She stared blankly at the few fragments on the ground, and smiled miserably.

Two tears flowed down the old face.

What a wrong step... a wrong step!

If she hadn't been obsessed with ghosts and married to Jiangnan, wouldn't she have ended up in such a fate?The family business that had been painstakingly managed for decades was destroyed, and she...maybe her life is not long!

The carriage going back to the other courtyard was galloping on the street, and there were soldiers riding horses ahead to clear the way, and pedestrians on the road dodged one after another.

In just a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped at the gate of the other courtyard.

The imperial physician was tremblingly carrying the medicine box and went out, seeing this, he hurried back.

Xie Yan jumped off the carriage, but he hugged Gu Ning tightly with both arms, preventing her from being jolted.

"Doctor Liu!" Xie Yan's indifferent phoenix eyes showed rare anxiety, "The wound is very deep, you have brought golden sore medicine!"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Imperial Physician Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Yue Ming just said when he came back, I have already prepared things, even sent someone to fetch the Yurong Ointment for scar removal."

While speaking, he had already grabbed Gu Ning's wrist and carefully checked her pulse.

The gazes of the eldest princess and Xie Yan followed like a shadow, always falling on him.

Imperial Physician Liu's heart had already been suspended, and he was sweating coldly behind his back, but he had to concentrate on his pulse diagnosis.

Fortunately, God favored him, the arrow didn't hurt the vitals, after stopping the bleeding, although Gu Ning's pulse condition was still very weak, but at least it stabilized, and there was no longer any danger of his life.

"Liu Imperial Physician, how's the situation?" The eldest princess was staring at Liu Imperial Physician coldly with clouds all over her face.

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!" Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a low voice, "The county magistrate is no longer in danger, just wait for her to wake up and then take the medicine."

Hearing this, the longing heart of the Eldest Princess has finally come to fruition.

She clutched her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the unconscious Gu Ning, the Eldest Princess had tears in her eyes.

"Silly boy." She stroked Gu Ning's soft black hair, she was relieved, but couldn't help complaining, "What's more important than your life? If something happens to you, how can I talk to you?" Mother explain?"

Behind the curtain, Xie Yan, who strode into it, froze in place.

Beads of sweat slid down the bridge of his straight nose to his sharp chin, and landed drop by drop on the soft carpet.

This is a face that makes countless women's hearts flutter, but at this time, this handsome face has a rare expression of ignorance.

He subconsciously rubbed the palm of his hand, as if there was still a warm touch of blood here.

Seeing his expression, Yue Ming secretly sighed in his heart.

"Master, let's go back first." He persuaded in a low voice, "With the eldest princess and Imperial Physician Liu here, the county master will definitely be taken care of properly."

However, he waited for a long time, and Xie Yan did not respond.

Yue Ming's heart skipped a beat, before he could say anything, he met Xie Yan's deep eyes.

"Why...why did she save me?"

Xie Yan spoke with difficulty, and a strange color appeared in his long and narrow phoenix eyes.

Seeing this, Yue Ming immediately said: "Maybe it's a misunderstanding, maybe the county lord didn't want to save you, it was just a momentary mistake..."

"The county lord is clearly here to save the lord!"

Yue Ming glared at the visitor, his stupid younger brother was completely unaware of his warning.

"I can see it clearly!" Yue Rong said seriously, "The county lord only stepped forward to block it for the master when he saw the arrow, otherwise, the arrow might be aimed at the master's chest And go!"

Yue Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe you misread it."

"There is absolutely no such possibility!" Yue Rong said loudly, "If the master doesn't believe it, you can ask other brothers! Our eyes are sharp!"

The expression on Xie Yan's handsome face changed.

He seemed to have made a difficult decision in his heart, and when he looked up again, the complicated expression disappeared, replaced by firmness.

Yue Rong was still muttering: "In my humble opinion, the county lord has the deepest affection for you! Who in this world can do this? She sacrificed herself to defend you, even if it was in the scriptures. A pile of..."

"Okay!" Yue Ming interrupted him angrily, "Master is gone, you are still talking here! Why is it not you who blocked the arrow!"

He thumped Yue Rong's head violently. Yue Rong felt the pain and covered his head: "Brother, what are you doing? Did I say something wrong?"

Yue Rong showed a distorted smile: "Your fault lies in talking too much!"

"But the county lord..."

"The county magistrate is perverse and capricious, not a good match for the master!" Yue Ming said eloquently, "The future wife of the master should be a gentle and virtuous person like Miss Xiao!"

Yue Rong widened his eyes and sized him up: "Brother, are you out of your mind? The Xiao family is..."

As if thinking of something, Yue Rong immediately covered his mouth.

Seeing no one around, he lowered his voice and whispered: "Master has never forgotten what the Xiao family did back then!"

……

The night was getting darker.

After several times of persuasion by Nanny Gui, the Eldest Princess lifted her tired body and left the bedroom.

Chunyu leaned against the pillar, falling asleep to the sound of cicadas.

On the bed, Gu Ning struggled to open his eyes.

"System! Don't pretend to be dead!" She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Get out of here!"

"I have already exchanged life-saving pills, why is there no effect?"

Gu Ning got emotional, pulled the wound, and couldn't help but "hiss".

At this time, the system explained bluntly: "At that time, the host's consciousness was already in a coma. If he needed 10 luck points to take the medicine through the system, it was detected that the host's life was not in danger, and the host paid too much attention to the luck value, so the system did not start. self-preservation mechanism."

"Who caused me to be reduced to one point of luck?" Gu Ning asked sadly, "You can think about it carefully."

The high-speed running chip of the system paused for a moment.

It knows better than anyone else the status of its own host.

But after being silent for a long time, the system failed to give a satisfactory answer to Gu Ning.

Feeling Gu Ning's anger, the system gave a mocking laugh.

"someone is coming!"

Gu Ning closed his eyes subconsciously, but the room was silent and there was no sound of footsteps.

"Don't lie to me here!" She said cursingly, and was about to open her eyes, but she felt her wrist was firmly held by someone.

The man's rough palm has a strong sense of presence.

And the constantly jumping system panel, and the sound effect of the continuous entry of luck value, clearly informed Gu Ning of this person's identity.

Gu Ning was stiff all over, even breathing became cautious.

It turned out to be a thank you banquet!

How did he come here?

The moonlight was bright and clear, Xie Yan's handsome face was usually exposed in the moonlight, half hidden in the shadows.

Just as complicated as his state of mind at this time.

On the bed, the woman seemed to be in a deep sleep, her bright eyes that looked forward to shining were tightly closed at this moment, making it impossible for anyone to get a glimpse of the beauty inside.

Xie Yan didn't like it in his heart, he was always cold and indifferent, only the eldest princess and the Pei family could make him feel warm.

He had dealt with Gu Ning before, and he hated Gu Ning very much, and he never changed.

However, that scene during the day repeatedly appeared in front of his eyes, reminding him that the person in front of him had a deep affection for him!

The emotions in his heart seemed to have quietly changed at that moment.
