Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

That's not right. Didn't he just say that he came to Huyin to find the princess he had seen before?

A woman who can make this guy spend so much time and effort must be very important in his heart.

Then why does he care about and take care of Si Ruoxin so much?

Could it be that this guy is playing two girls at the same time?

Is this still the Xiao Zhan that I know?

"Sew... sew... the wound..."

Jiang Xue lost too much blood and felt like her limbs were about to freeze into popsicles.

If the bleeding doesn't stop, my life will be over.

She forced herself to raise her head and spoke to Xiao Zhan with her last bit of strength.

She opened her pale mouth and seemed to be saying something, but her voice was too soft to be heard clearly.

Xiao Zhan had no choice but to lean over and lean close to her ear: "What's the matter?"

There was an unintentional tenderness in his deep voice, which made Jiang Xue feel as safe as if she was soaking in a hot spring.

She smiled bitterly, realizing that he was the only one who could give her this sense of security.

"Sew up... the wound, stop the bleeding."

She didn't have much energy left, so she tried to make her point as briefly as possible.

When Xiao Zhan heard this, his brows furrowed into knots and his eyes were full of worry.

But the situation is urgent and we must act now.

"Prepare the silver needle and thread."

After thinking about it, I decided to do as Jiang Xue said.

He turned his head and looked at the old doctor who was frightened by his aura: "Doctor, sew up the wound."

The old doctor was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "It's no problem to sew up the wound, but there's no anesthetic right now. If we sew it like this, I'm afraid the girl won't be able to bear it."

This is what Xiao Zhan is most worried about, but compared to his life, this little pain is nothing. Jiang Xue must also understand this.

"It's okay, go ahead." Xiao Zhan said.

"This...ah...okay." The old doctor sighed, picked up the silver needle, roasted it over the fire, and started to work.

"It will be more painful when it's being stitched. In order to prevent the girl from moving around due to the pain, you have to help hold it down."

After the old doctor was ready, he gave some instructions.

Xiao Zhan nodded, put his hand on Jiang Xue's back, and gently added strength.

For the next half hour, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The old doctor held the silver needle and concentrated on stitching up Jiang Xue's wound. The pain made her sweat coldly and her clothes were soaked.

But Jiang Xue clenched her teeth and didn't make a sound. She knew that if she cried out in pain, the old doctor would get nervous and his hands would probably tremble.

The hands that were pressed under him were tightly grasping the corners of the quilt. His fingers had turned white and he could hear the joints creaking.

Xiao Zhan frowned, watching the wound being sutured bit by bit and the bleeding gradually subsiding.

Mo Chenjun didn't dare to watch the whole time. Although he was a major general who was not afraid of swords and guns on the battlefield and was used to seeing blood, he was still afraid of this tiny needle.

When he was a child, he was used for acupuncture experiments, and he was so scared that he now gets scared whenever he sees a needle.

After enduring for half an hour, the wound was finally sewn up. After the last stitch, the old man finally felt relieved.

After cutting off the excess thread, the old doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Xiao Zhan, "It's done. The young lady's wound has been sutured and the bleeding has stopped. Next, just rest well, change the dressing on time, and take care of it for ten days or half a month, and the injury will be nothing serious."

"Thank you for your hard work, doctor."

Xiao Zhan then breathed a sigh of relief and removed his hand from Jiang Xue's back.

He asked his servant to get the medicine according to the doctor's prescription and to see the doctor out.

"Finally done."

At this time, Mo Chenjun turned his head to see how Jiang Xue was doing, but was turned back by Xiao Zhan again.

Xiao Zhan pulled a corner of the quilt and carefully covered her exposed shoulders before letting go of her hand.

"You can just call me, why do you have to do it?"

Mo Chenjun touched his chin and said, "Wow, this guy is really strong."

I'm not a pervert, and I still understand the principle of not looking at what is inappropriate.

"How is Shangguan Xun?"

After all, Shangguan Xun was the person Jiang Xue risked her life to protect, so Xiao Zhan began to care about her situation.

"She's still sleeping soundly, but she should be fine. Judging from her appearance, she must have been groggy from the tranquilizing powder. She will wake up after sleeping for half a day." Mo Chenjun said.

"Anshen San?" Upon hearing the name, Xiao Zhan showed an expression of disgust on his face.

This medicine had been used by Xiao Huan on Eleven before.

Xiao Zhan knew its function and hated it to the core.

Unexpectedly, I heard the name of this thing again in Hu Yin.

"Using too much of this medicine may damage a person's brain and turn him into an idiot. From last night till now, I don't know how much she has taken."

After hearing what Xiao Zhan said, Mo Chenjun's expression also became serious.

The person who gave this medicine is so insidious and vicious.

"The Third Princess is the noble heir to the throne, and the most beloved princess of Beixi. Who would give her such a cruel drug and hunt her down so desperately?" Mo Chenjun recalled the attire of the pursuers just now. They seemed to be from the Prince's Mansion.

This is strange. Crown Prince Shangguan Jin has always treated the third princess as a treasure, so why would he hunt her down?

"The group of people just now were from the Prince's Mansion." As soon as Xiao Zhan returned to the inn, he immediately sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the pursuers.

The spy reported that everyone had returned to the Prince's Mansion.

"Shangguan Jin and Jiang Chen just entered the palace to see the emperor together. I guess they don't know about this yet." Xiao Zhan said.

"Which one could it be?" Mo Chenjun stroked his chin and said, "How about I go to the Prince's Mansion and ask my second sister?"

Mo Chenjun's second sister, Mo Huan, is Shangguan Jin's mistress. Relying on the Mo family's background, she is the only person in the Prince's Mansion who the Crown Princess Cao Zhilan dare not offend.

Mo Huan has always had a sharp eye. It is impossible for her to remain in the dark about such a thing happening in the mansion.

"Well, okay."

Xiao Zhan nodded. His men couldn't get into the Prince's Mansion. If he wanted to find out the whole story, he had to rely on Mo Chenjun.

"Then you wait here first, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Mo Chenjun went out.

Xiao Zhan returned to the room and saw Jiang Xue had fallen asleep from exhaustion, her face pale.

Sighing, he sat down on the bed and gently used his fingers to tidy up the messy hair around her ears.

His fingers touched the seam between the disguise mask and the skin behind her ear, and he gently peeled it off, and that familiar and peerless face appeared before his eyes.

"You even went to the trouble of changing your appearance to avoid me? Jiang Xue, do you really not want to see me?"

His warm big hands gently stroked her hair. Looking at the woman engraved in his heart, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lightly on the cheek.

Jiang Xue, who was originally frowning because of the pain, slowly relaxed her brows after the kiss.

As if he had dreamed of something wonderful, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Jiang Xue, what should I do to you?"

Xiao Zhan now had mixed feelings. He was originally a little resentful towards her and thought that he must put things to rest when they met.

But now seeing her like this, especially seeing her being hurt like this, the feeling of heartache overwhelms everything.
