Master Deng obviously also saw the broken teacup on the ground. He had smashed it in anger before, but he said to his grandson calmly, "No, it was Grandpa who accidentally broke the teacup and didn't have time to clean it up."

Xiao Jue nodded, as if he was just asking casually.

"Then grandpa, I'll leave first."

Xiao Jue said.

"Grandpa will take you there."

Master Deng stood up, and just as Xiao Jue was about to stand up, Master Deng stepped forward to support him. Because Xiao Jue had been holding on for so long, some blood was spilling from his wound. Because he was wearing a black python robe, the blood was not obvious, but when Master Deng stepped forward, he could see it clearly and his expression changed immediately.

"Jinyu, are you injured? Someone, go get a doctor!"

Master Deng immediately shouted in a stern voice.

"Grandpa, I'm fine. No need to call the doctor yet. I still have things to do. I..."

"Jinyu."

Before Xiao Jue could finish his words, Master Deng's face had already darkened. He did not call Xiao Jue by his full name, but by his courtesy name, and his tone became heavier.

Master Deng has always been a strict person, but he is somewhat tolerant towards his outstanding grandson. But at this moment, his face is very gloomy.

He helped Xiao Jue sit down. Seeing the blood staining the wound more and more, his face became more and more ugly. Soon the doctor hurried over.

Xiao Jue still wanted to refuse, but Master Deng was very strong, so the doctor in the mansion helped Xiao Jue to tear off his clothes and treat his wound in front of Master Deng. The arrow wound was clearly visible in front of Master Deng.

"Who hurt you?"

"How dare you! The sword wound is so severe, one more inch would have killed you! Who is this person?"

The indifference on Master Deng's face was gone at this moment, replaced by anger that soared to the sky.

Xiao Jue frowned, watching his wound being bandaged again. He could see that his grandfather was angry, but he would not expose Mu'er. He only lowered his eyes and said, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself. I have always been in good health. Even if I got a little injured, it's not a big deal. I will recover soon."

"Grandpa is asking you, who hurt you?"

However, Master Deng did not let him lead him astray and continued to ask persistently.

Xiao Jue paused, "Grandpa, in this position, assassinations happen from time to time. It's just that I was absent-minded in recent days and didn't check for a while, so I was injured by the assassin. Grandpa, you really don't have to worry. The assassin has been killed, and this wound is not fatal. It will heal in a few days."

After hearing Xiao Jue's words, Master Deng did not say anything. He lowered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, he said, "Jin Yu, your mother only has you as her child. You are her lifeblood. If she knew that you were seriously injured, she would be so sad."

"Ah."

"Wait here first. Grandpa has a heart-protecting pill. I'll get it for you."

Master Deng said.

"Grandpa, no need, I..."

"Wait."

Master Deng said with a smile.

Then he left Xiao Jue in the hall and turned to leave the yard.

As soon as he left the yard, his face darkened, and he immediately called Xiao Jue's men over, "Who hurt King Han?"

He had lived so long, how could he not see who Jin Yu was protecting? He didn't even mention the identity of the assassin. He had indeed encountered assassinations in his position, but when had he ever been injured so badly? And looking at his expression, he was clearly protecting the assassin.

Who hurt him like this and is still worthy of his protection?

The person called over by Master Deng was Xiao Jue's close subordinate, whose status was second only to Jiang Li. Now that he was being questioned by Master Deng, his face was tense and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Teacher, I don't know."

"You don't know. You've always been with your master. Don't you know who hurt him? Do you not know or did you get your master's order and dare not say anything?"

Master Deng asked.

The subordinates lowered their heads and could only endure the anger of Master Deng. They had received orders from their master and could not speak of his affairs.

"Is it King You?"

Master Deng asked again.

The subordinate hung his head and said nothing.

"Or is it the daughter of the Meng family?"

Master Deng continued to ask.

Seeing that no matter what he said, Xiao Jue's subordinates remained silent, he sneered and knew that he could not ask anything.

"Okay, step back. I won't make things difficult for you."

The subordinate heaved a sigh of relief, then quickly retreated and went to report to his master.

As soon as Master Deng turned around, his expression changed completely. He immediately asked someone to come over and said, "Go find the person we have planted and ask who hurt King Han."

"Yes."

He is the head of the Deng family, a national tutor, and the grandfather of Prince Han Xiao Jue.

The honor and disgrace of the Deng family all depend on this grandson.

If he can ascend to the throne, then the glory of the Deng family will be reached to a higher level. If he cannot... then the glory of the Deng family will no longer be what it used to be. So how could there be no one like him around Xiao Jue?

He naturally knew that his grandson was well-disciplined and his subordinates were all loyal. If he didn't allow him to say anything, even he, as his grandfather, wouldn't be able to ask the truth. What he did just now was just to cover up his real purpose.

Here, Master Deng went to the study to get a life-saving heart-protecting pill and returned to the living room.

Xiao Jue leaned on the chair, looking listless, but it was obvious that he was holding on, and there was anxiety between his brows. When he saw Master Deng coming back, he wanted to stand up immediately, but Master Deng pressed his shoulders and sat him down, and handed him the heart-protecting pill, "This pill was given by a high monk. It has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. If you are seriously injured, taking it can protect your heart meridian and your life will be safe. If you are dying, taking it can also bring you back from the brink of death."

"Grandpa, I don't want it."

Xiao Jue frowned and refused.

"I know my own body well. I will definitely get better after a few days of care. But my grandfather is old, so I'll keep this medicine for future use."

"You should eat when Grandpa tells you to. If anything happens to you, Grandpa won't be around for long. Grandpa's old bones are still strong, so be obedient and eat quickly to get well."

Master Deng was firm in his attitude and Xiao Jue had no choice but to take the Heart Protecting Pill and drink it with tea.

"Grandpa, I have something else to do here, so I'll leave first. I'll come back to visit you later."

Xiao Jue stood up and said.

"Okay, Grandpa can see that your heart is not here, go ahead and take care of yourself."

Master Deng waved his hand.

Xiao Jue nodded, and then took his men away from the Taifu Mansion.

As soon as he left the mansion, the subordinate stepped forward and reported to the Grand Tutor about his injury that he had previously questioned.

Xiao Jue nodded.

"Master, shall we go back home now?"

The subordinate asked.

Xiao Jue shook his head, "Keep a close eye on the Taifu Mansion from the dark to see if anyone comes in or out."
