Zhou Jin turned his head suddenly and saw Gu Xiling.

When he thought of his messy "buttocks", he shuddered and rolled sideways, with his buttocks facing inwards and his face facing outwards.

But the movement was too big and sprained the wound.

"Ah!" Zhou Jin's face was distorted with pain, but when he saw Gu Xiling in front of him, he quickly relaxed his expression, "My wife, it doesn't hurt at all!"

Gu Xiling looked at the prince Zhou Jin, who had been strong-willed and stubborn all his life, and sat gently on the edge of the bed.

Seeing Zhou Jin enduring the pain, Gu Xiling wanted to laugh, but she held it back.

Zhou Jin's strong yet fragile self-esteem would be shattered by her smile.

She is a virtuous and kind wife, how could she make fun of her husband?

If I laugh, I will hide and laugh secretly.

Got to hold back now!

"Prince, you have worked so hard for those high-yield wheat. There were wild boars and broken legs. You have worked so hard to put more food in the people's granaries."

Gu Xiling took a handkerchief, eyes full of concern, and gently wiped the sweat off Zhou Jin's forehead, without mentioning a word about Zhou Jin's buttocks being bitten by a snake.

He kept praising Zhou Jin for his efforts for the people and Kangguo.

In fact, it is rare for Zhou Jin to be able to do this.

I can't say this about the whole world, but as far as the capital of Kangguo is concerned, Zhou Jin, as a son of a noble family, was the first to get up in the middle of the night to guard the fields.

Although he came to guard the fields and couldn't actually do much, his intention was commendable.

When Zhou Jin heard what Gu Xiling said, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his wife didn’t know that his butt had been bitten!

"It's all because of those beasts being too rampant!" Zhou Jin held Gu Xiling's hand, "Fortunately, I was safe. I just broke my bones. Doctor Liu said that I'll be fine after resting for a while. Don't worry, my lady. It's a blessing in disguise. If I hadn't gone to the farm, I would have been assassinated last night."

Although she had heard Lai Fu say this before, Gu Xiling was still shocked. "I didn't expect that Prince Ning wanted to kill all of our Changning Marquisate!"

"What's wrong? Something happened in the mansion?" Zhou Jin was anxious, "Xi Ling, don't hide it from me, what happened in the mansion?"

Gu Xiling told Zhou Jin everything that happened last night, "...It was really dangerous last night! Prince, please take care of yourself, nothing can happen to you!"

Zhou Jin frowned and pondered for a moment. "Aunt Bai and Xiao Cui should be the people of Prince Ning. They want to control grandmother, mother, and you, so as to fully control father and Changning Marquis's Mansion. As for the imperial guards surrounding the Marquis's Mansion, it should not be the work of Prince Ning."

Gu Xiling nodded, "Last night, my grandmother, mother and I hid in the ancestral hall, reviewing what happened and guessing who was behind it. Prince Ning rebelled, and what he did was shameful, and his methods were also shameful. He didn't dare to use the guards at all. Even if he could command a small part of the guards, he would not use them on our Changning Marquis Mansion, but at the most critical moment of the rebellion."

"We don't know who Pang Ming and Zhao Xiang belong to, but Xie Jin has recently joined Li Guojiu's school and is being highly valued. How did Xie Jin know that the imperial guards surrounded the Changning Marquis's residence in the middle of the night? We took out the gold medal bestowed by the Emperor Taizu, and Xie Jin came at such a coincidence, giving Pang Ming a way out and letting him leave. It's too much of a coincidence."

"Besides, my brother Yu and my brother Wang are going to attack Uncle Li. Uncle Li is a vindictive person and will definitely not miss this good opportunity to find the banned weapon 'Eight Ox Crossbow' and slander the Changning Marquisate for rebellion. Even if we cannot overthrow the Changning Marquisate, my father and I will definitely be greatly affected."

Gu Xiling nodded gently, "My husband guessed the same as us. My father went to court early this morning to deal with the affairs of Prince Ning and inquire about what happened to the imperial guards last night. My grandmother is old and was frightened last night, so she is recuperating at home. My mother is the housekeeper, and I am worried about the prince, so I came here early this morning."

"Fortunately, the prince is fine. If...if anything happened to him, how would Xiling live? In the future, the prince should not do this. No matter where you go, you must bring guards with you."

Seeing the tears in Gu Xiling's eyes, Zhou Jin put Gu Xiling's little hand on his lips and said, "I will definitely bring guards with me in the future. Madam, don't cry, my legs really don't hurt!"

Gu Xiling looked suspicious, "Really? You're not lying to me?"

"Really, it's more real than real gold." Zhou Jin promised, "Madam, I'm hungry. Can you go to the kitchen and ask them to make me some lotus leaf porridge to reduce internal heat and inflammation?"

Gu Xiling nodded after hearing this, "Prince, if you like lotus leaf porridge, I will go to the kitchen and ask them to make it. Prince, please wait a moment."

Zhou Jin had sweat on his forehead, and it was obviously not because of the heat, but because of the pain.

Maybe the wound broke open after the big movement just now.

Gu Xiling understood and didn't stay long. She left considerately to give Zhou Jin a chance to apply medicine.

Gu Xiling took light steps and walked out.

Zhou Jin finally couldn't hold it anymore when he saw Gu Xiling leaving. He grimaced in pain, "Laifu..."

Lai Fu was not in the yard.

When the guard heard the prince calling, he hurried forward and said, "Prince, Lai Fu and Miss Xiulan are out."

"This..." Zhou Jin gritted his teeth, "Go call him over to me. I need to change the medicine."

The guard quickly responded, "Yes, Prince!"

Just as the guard was about to leave, Zhou Jin said again: "Don't say I changed the medicine, just say I have something to do with Lai Fu!"

The guard was startled, then realized that the prince did not want his wife to know, "I know."

The guard ran out quickly and found Lai Fu, who was chatting enthusiastically with Miss Xiulan in the garden and laughing so hard that his fat flesh was shaking.

"Laifu, the prince called you and said he has something to ask you."

Lai Fu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Where is the prince's wife?"

"The prince said he wanted to eat lotus leaf porridge, and his wife went to the kitchen herself." The guard replied, urging him, "The prince is very anxious, hurry up, Lai Fu. Otherwise, the prince will be angry and beat you with a stick. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Lai Fu got anxious when he heard this, "Xiu Lan, I'm busy now, I'll come and play with you later."

"Brother Laifu, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go make some leek dumplings for you." Xiulan chuckled sweetly.

The words "Brother Laifu" really touched Laifu's heart.

Lai Fu quickly ran back to Zhou Jin's room and asked hurriedly, "Prince, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Jin gritted his teeth. Time was running out, so he didn't care to scold Lai Fu for leaving his post. "Hurry up and wash your hands. Apply medicine to me. The wound seems to have opened up."

Lai Fu's eyes fell on the prince's buttocks. There was indeed some blood. He was nervous. While washing his hands, he persuaded him: "Don't worry, prince. I will change the bandage for you. It was fine just now. How come the wound opened again when the prince's wife came?"

Zhou Jin reminded, "Xi Ling doesn't know that my hip is injured yet, so be careful not to let it slip. Apply the medicine quickly."

Lai Fu's mouth twitched. How could a woman as smart as the Crown Prince's wife not see it?

The Crown Prince’s wife knew that the Crown Prince was very concerned about his reputation, so she didn’t expose him.

"Yes!" Lai Fu applied medicine to the prince and gently advised, "Prince, please be careful. If you keep struggling, the wound will never heal."

Zhou Jin waved his hand, "I know, remember, don't say anything more."

Zhou Jin packed up and lay on his side on the bed, feeling that Lai Fu was an eyesore. "You can go now. Xi Ling will be here soon."

"Yes!" Lai Fu turned around and rolled his eyes. The prince was so heartless!

When changing clothes and applying medicine, he is a caring little attendant!

I feel refreshed all over, but I find him an eyesore!
