Inside the hospital.

"Is he a rebel?!"

"I didn't expect them to change their ways. After I go back and investigate, I will give an explanation to His Highness! Even if Kyoto is turned upside down again, we must find other remaining evildoers!"

Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and issued a military order.

"No need to check, I said yes, that's it."

Zhu Yunxi looked directly at Xiao Huan and said in a deep voice, with a meaningful smile gradually showing at the corner of his mouth.

"I understand the humble position!"

Xiao Huan hesitated for a moment, then understood immediately and hurriedly answered.

At this time, the doctor from the back room finally came out sweating profusely and looking exhausted.

"how?!"

Zhu Yunxi looked over hurriedly and asked in a deep voice.

"The villain has fulfilled his mission. He is out of danger. However, due to excessive blood loss, his body is still very weak. I'm afraid he will have to rest for a while."

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said slowly.

"Good work."

"Go to Hongwu Bookstore early tomorrow morning and ask Shopkeeper Du for a thousand taels of silver. He will give it to you."

Zhu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly.

"Thank you!"

"It's just a little effort, I don't dare to accept a lot of money from you."

The doctor bowed his hands and shook his head.

Although he didn't know Zhu Yunxi's identity yet, looking at the Jinyi guards around him and the dozens of Jinwu guards outside the door, any fool could tell that Zhu Yunxi's identity was not simple, but he just regarded Zhu Yunxi as an ordinary courtier.

"That's what you deserve. I never break my promise."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said seriously.

"Thank you, little man!"

When the doctor heard this, he quickly bowed and saluted.

With the word "my palace", he already understood Zhu Yunxi's approximate identity!

"Okay, you go back first. I don't need to say more about what to do, right?"

Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Xiao Huan and asked slowly.

"I understand the humble position!"

Xiao Huan agreed and walked out with her daughter.

Zhu Yunxi didn't stay any longer and walked straight into the back room.

Outside the hospital.

"What's going on? Why does His Highness say he owes our Xiao family a favor?"

Xiao Huan asked confusedly while placing her daughter on the carriage.

"Maybe it's because my daughter reminded him when the killer was assassinating him, and she subconsciously blocked the knife for him."

Xiao Ling'er turned her head to look at the medical center and said softly, with a complicated look in her eyes.

"what?!"

"Why are you so reckless and still blocking the knife?! Are you dying?! Are you okay?!"

When Xiao Huan heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly pulled his daughter to look up and down.

"Oh, it's okay. The one named Hong Yuan took action in time and was subdued by the killer before she could get close."

"But Dad, the one named Hong Yuan is really powerful, and his martial arts skills are very strong!"

"It would be great if my daughter had skills like her."

Xiao Ling'er shook her head and explained, then looked at the medical center expectantly and said thoughtfully.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"What's the point of fighting and killing?! As a father, I don't want you to be in such danger!"

Xiao Huan waved his hand and scolded dissatisfiedly.

"If he doesn't have a daughter, can you let him owe you a favor? It's not a loss for you."

Xiao Ling'er curled her lips indifferently and said slowly.

"In my father's heart, opportunities and the glory of the Xiao family are indeed important, but no matter how important they are, they cannot compare to your safety!"

"Don't take such risks again! Do you hear me?!"

Xiao Huan said in a deep voice with a dissatisfied face.

"Know it."

Xiao Ling'er hesitated for a moment, smiled and patted her father's hand, then turned and walked into the carriage.

Xiao Huan shook his head helplessly and immediately left with a group of Jin Wu guards.

...

The back room of the medical center.

Zhu Yunxi stood by the bed, looking at Deng Chuan who looked weak, frowning slightly, and a look of approval flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Deng Chuan gradually woke up from his coma. When he opened his eyes and saw Zhu Yunxi, he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly struggled to get up.

"Lie down! Don't open the wound any more. It's not easy to save a life!"

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly waved his hands and ordered.

Deng Chuan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain in his waist, and lay down again. Then he turned around and looked around, only to find that he was in the medical center.

"Your Highness saved me?"

"Thank you, Your Highness! You are tired!"

Deng Chuan looked at Zhu Yunxi again and said with some gratitude.

"You were seriously injured trying to save me. How could I watch you die like that?"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hands, smiled and said.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's normal words, there is a cause and an effect, Deng Chuan was stunned for a moment, his expression was slightly complicated, and the gratitude in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

"How is it, how does it feel?"

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head to check Deng Chuan's injuries and asked with concern.

"I can't die!"

Deng Chuan endured the pain and forced out a smile, shook his head and said.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but smile after hearing this. He liked a straightforward person like Deng Chuan.

And Deng Chuan also fulfilled his original promise. As long as he doesn't die, Zhu Yunxi will be fine!

"Your Highness, Jiang Wei has arrived."

At this moment, Hongyuan opened the door and walked in, whispering in Zhu Yunxi's ear.

Hearing Hong Yuan's words, Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

"Send him back to Liuli Palace, and then he can take a good rest, and tell him to go down and have others take good care of him."

Then, Zhu Yunxi glanced at Deng Chuan and said slowly.

"Your Highness, no!"

"With such a humble position and status, how can I recuperate in the Wandering Palace, let alone be taken care of by His Highness's maids? Absolutely not."

"Bizhang's home is in the city, just let the brothers outside send him home."

When Deng Chuan heard this, he shook his head hurriedly and said.

"Are you going to disobey my order?!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Deng Chuan dissatisfied and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."

Deng Chuan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and replied in a low voice.

Zhu Yunxi said nothing more and winked at Hongyuan.

Hong Yuan nodded, and immediately called Deng Chuan's brothers who were guarding the door, let Deng Chuan lie on the quilt, and walked out carrying the quilt.

Zhu Yunxi also brought Hong Yuan to the clinic, and happened to see Jiang Yu waiting outside.

When Jiang Wei watched the seriously injured Deng Chuan being carried out, a flash of disgust flashed across his face, and then he quickly came to Zhu Yunxi.

"I've met Your Highness. I hope you're fine."

"His Majesty has learned about the assassination and is very concerned about the safety of His Highness. He specially ordered this humble official to come and check."

Jiang Wei bowed his hands and said respectfully.

"I am fine. All the killers have been executed."

"Go back and tell Grandpa Huang that the person who assassinated me is a remnant of the traitor."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Jiang Yu and said lightly.

"Another traitor?!"

"Has the Jinwu Guard found out?"

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

"Xiao Huan has been here just now, it's true."

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

"clear."

"After I go to the Jinwu Guard Yamen to inquire about the situation, I will enter the palace and report the truth to His Majesty."

"But Your Highness, Deng Chuan and others should be held accountable for their failure to protect His Highness this time! Why do you have to spend so much effort to save him and stay here for so long? What should you do if the remnants of the rebels appear again?"

Jiang Wei bowed his hands and said hesitantly.

"There are rebels in Kyoto. Shouldn't it be you, the commander of the Imperial Guard, who should be held accountable?!"

Zhu Yunxi's face darkened, and he looked at Jiang Yu coldly and asked.

"I know my fault for my humble position!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will immediately lead people to conduct a thorough investigation of Kyoto, and I will never let the rebels endanger Your Highness's safety again!"

Jiang Wei was shocked and hurriedly bowed and said.

"Go ahead and tell Grandpa Huang about this. I don't want to care about it, and I don't want to care about it."

"In addition, although Deng Chuan and others are affiliated with your Jin Yiwei, he is now my personal guard. You have no right to interfere with what is right or wrong!"

"Do what you have to do! Do you hear me clearly?!"

Zhu Yunxi took a step forward, stared into Jiang Yu's eyes, and asked every word.

"I understand the humble position!"

Jiang Wei hurriedly lowered his head, avoiding Zhu Yunxi's cold gaze, and answered in a deep voice.

Zhu Yunxi ignored Jiang Yu, walked straight out of the hospital and got into the carriage with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Wei frowned, hesitated, and immediately followed Zhu Yunxi's carriage with a group of subordinates, preparing to escort him all the way back to the palace.

On the road.

Inside the carriage.

Deng Chuan, who was lying on the quilt, never dared to look at Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting beside him. He looked uncomfortable.

Normally, with his status, he would never ride in the same carriage as Zhu Yunxi. That would be a crime of disrespect.

But at this time, Zhu Yunxi not only sent him to see a doctor personally, but also let him ride in the same carriage, and even took him in to Jinxiu Palace to recuperate.

This kind of treatment was something Deng Chuan had never dared to expect before...
