Suddenly being picked up in the air, the instant weightlessness made Meng Jinyao feel insecure. She subconsciously put her arms around Gu Jingxi's neck. She was stunned for a while and found herself being picked up by Gu Jingxi.

She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say that she could leave by herself, but seeing the man's angry and helpless look, she pursed her lips again and leaned peacefully in Gu Jingxi's arms without speaking.

Gu Jingxi turned his eyes and looked at the two maids who were standing aside, frightened, and said quietly: "Where is the guest room? Lead the way."

Qingqiu came to her senses first and responded quickly, but as a maid, how could she dare to walk in front of her master? Just show him the way, and then follow him together with Ningdong.

On the road, the atmosphere was silent.

Meng Jinyao quietly raised her head and glanced at him for a few times. The man's expression was dull at the moment, showing no emotion or anger. She was a little timid at the moment, and said after careful consideration: "Husband, it should be very important for you and Mr. Qi to go out to hunt together. Prisoner, why don't you go back and get down to business first?"

When Gu Jingxi heard this, he paused and looked down at the person in his arms. The palm-sized face was still pale, and the fear in his eyes had not dissipated. He was obviously very frightened, and he was still standing next to the wishing pool just now. I fell down, and it looked like a heavy fall. I couldn't see anything on the surface, but I guess there were injuries on my body.

Thinking of this, he frowned and said warmly: "Not as important as you."

How could interrogating a prisoner be as important as marrying a wife? It's not like he has to be the one to interrogate prisoners, he has other colleagues.

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jinyao suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Jingxi.

These four simple words stirred up waves in Meng Jinyao's heart. She stared blankly at the man's handsome face, and heard the man's powerful heartbeat from her right ear. The thumping sound was shocking. Her mind was buzzing, and her heartbeat was speeding up involuntarily and out of rhythm.

Gu Jingxi noticed her eyes and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head gently, buried her face into the man's broad chest, and continued to listen to the man's heartbeat. She felt inexplicably at ease, and the messy heartbeat slowly calmed down and returned to normal.

She felt that something was wrong with her.

But it was undeniable that she was a little happy at the moment and had an indescribable feeling. She was not repelled by this strange feeling.

When Gu Jingxi saw her burying her face in his chest, he thought she was still scared, so he laughed helplessly: "You know you are scared now? Just now you were very brave and had big ideas, and you still wanted to follow others."

Meng Jinyao blinked and pretended to be dead without responding.

Seeing this, Gu Jingxi pursed his lips and smiled, then took steady steps and continued walking while holding her in his arms.

Qingqiu and Ningdong followed them. Listening to their conversation, they could clearly feel that the Marquis really cared about their master. Because their master was frightened, the Marquis left his official duties and stayed with them. Master, it can be seen that in the heart of the Marquis, official duties are not as important as their master.

Back in the guest room, Gu Jingxi gently placed the person on the chair and asked in a gentle voice, "Where is the injury?"

Meng Jinyao said "Huh?" in confusion, without reacting at all.

Gu Jingxi asked again: "You fell down by the wishing pool. Where did you fall?"

Only then did Meng Jinyao react. She hurriedly moved her hands and feet. Maybe the movement hurt the wound. She hissed in pain, pointed to the position of her right leg, knee and elbow, and replied: "Here, And here.”

Her crescent eyebrows were furrowed, and her voice was soft and seemed to have a hint of grievance, just like a child looking for comfort from an elder after a fall.

When Gu Jingxi heard this, her heart softened and she said softly, "Let me take a look." After that, he knelt down and lifted up her skirt to see her injuries.

Meng Jinyao's expression paused, and she was about to say something to stop him, but then she thought about it, they were just a couple sleeping on the same bed, so there was no need for men and women to guard against each other.

After Gu Jingxi lifted up her skirt, he held the ankle of her right leg with one hand and rolled up her trouser leg with the other hand. The trouser leg was rolled up above her knees. It was obvious that her knees were bruised from falling and being knocked. Yes, but not serious.

Seeing that the injury was not serious, Gu Jingxi put down her leg and looked at the injury on her elbow.

If you fall forward, the injury to your elbow will be much more obvious. In summer, the clothing material is relatively thin, and there will be obvious scratches on the clothes at the elbow.

Rolling up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white arms. Turning over, you can see that the skin on the elbows of her hands is bruised and bleeding, and the surrounding skin is still a little red and swollen. This wound fell on the hands that were originally as white and flawless as snow lotus roots. , seems particularly serious.

Seeing this, Gu Jingxi frowned and ordered: "Qingqiu, go to the master of the temple to get some healing medicine and gauze, and go to Ningdong to get a basin of water."

The two maids responded and went to do it immediately.

Meng Jinyao saw his frown and knew that he was worried about her, so she smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay, it's just a little painful. Compared to losing my life, it's nothing."

It's okay that she didn't say this. As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jingxi gave her a look and said in a deep voice: "Don't act impulsively next time. Do you know that if I don't take action in time tonight, as long as I slow down a little, you can Will they all become souls killed by his sword?"

Meng Jinyao lowered her head and did not dare to reply. What happened tonight was indeed her impulsive act. Now that she recalled the scene of the cold sword thrusting towards her, she was frightened.

Gu Jingxi saw her hanging her head and not speaking, like a child who had done something wrong, so he softened his tone: "Madam, next time you encounter danger, don't overestimate your husband, remember not to act impulsively, and be sure to protect yourself." Only when it is safe can you take the next step, because husbands sometimes make mistakes.”

Meng Jinyao was as obedient as a child, nodding and saying, "I understand."

Suddenly, Gu Jingxi saw blood and scratches on her palms. He grabbed her hands and took a look. He found that there were scratches on the palms of both hands. The right hand was more seriously injured, and there were wounds on both hands. There were several crescent-shaped wounds, which were made with fingernails.

Although fresh blood oozed from the wound, there was no blood on the girl's fingernails and the wound had scabbed over. It was obvious that she had not been injured just now. The blood oozing was just a scratch when she fell. The girl was fine when she went out in the morning. It can only be injured during the day after going out.

He remembered that the last time, he saw the little girl injuring her hand with her nails. It was because he thought of Chengyu's death, blamed himself excessively but was unable to take revenge, and suppressed his emotions, so he hurt himself.

Following his movements, Meng Jinyao lowered her eyes and realized that her palm was also injured. She had been injured before, so she didn't care about the pain in her palm.

Seeing the man frowning more tightly, obviously because of her injury, a warm current flowed through her heart, and she said: "Husband, don't worry, it's actually fine, I didn't even notice it myself, so it doesn't hurt very much. "

Gu Jingxi looked at her steadily and asked warmly: "Madam, what happened today?"
