After knowing that someone was trying to harm them, Chu Chen and Han Mengqin no longer wanted to travel around.

They should hurry back to the capital as soon as possible, but Chu Chen and his subordinates were injured to varying degrees during the fight with the assassin, so they had to find a nearby place to recuperate.In their current state, they can't stand a long journey, and if they encounter a second wave of assassins along the way, they will definitely not have the power to fight back.

Chu Chen told Emperor Chongde the whole story of the incident and the confessions of the assassins, and then found a clean place with Han Mengqin to recuperate.If it is as expected, Emperor Chongde will send more people to protect them later and investigate the matter in detail.

"Brother Chen, let me see your injury."

As soon as he reached the place where he was staying, Han Mengqin couldn't bear it anymore.Although the injury on Chu Chen's shoulder had been treated urgently, there was still a lot of blood, which was really worrying.

At this time, his face was pale and his steps were weak. With Han Mengqin's support, he barely walked into the house.

Along the way, Chu Chen acted as if he wasn't the one who was injured, and he didn't even frown.But Han Mengqin could feel his hands trembling. Obviously, in order not to worry Han Mengqin, he was suppressing it.

This made Han Mengqin even more worried.If Chu Chen is always like this, how can she know the real situation of Chu Chen?

"It's okay, Qinqin, don't look at me, I'm afraid I'll scare you." Chu Chen said calmly, "The doctor I'm looking for will be here in a while. I'm not hurt deeply. I just need to apply some medicine at that time." Just fine."

Han Mengqin said: "In your heart, am I such a cowardly person? Brother Chen... Have you been injured a lot these years?"

That's why, when it comes to this topic, I'm so used to it.

"No." Chu Chen answered quickly, but it was precisely because of this that Han Mengqin became more suspicious.

Seeing this, Chu Chen had no choice but to say: "You also know that in recent years, we have mostly been responsible for writing about bandits. The real big war is just this one. How can I have any chance of being seriously injured?"

"I don't have a chance to get seriously injured... In this way, you should have suffered a lot of minor injuries, right?" Han Mengqin quickly caught the loophole in Chu Chen's words.

When she used her sharp side on Chu Chen, even Chu Chen couldn't stand it, so he could only slap her with a bitter face.

The doctor will be here soon.Chu Chen first asked the doctor to show the most seriously injured person, and then came to see his injury.

Han Mengqin just stood by Chu Chen's bed like an old god, not trying to avoid suspicion at all.

Chu Chen couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "Qinqin, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to come here, see if you can avoid it..."

Hearing this, Han Mengqin raised her eyebrows: "You and I are a fiancée, what's the inconvenience? Why, brother Chen is going to break off the engagement with me after going to the capital, and find another one?"

Chu Chen: "No, I'm just afraid of scaring you."

"I've said it before, I'm not that timid." Han Mengqin raised his eyebrows: "Are you deliberately trying to pay me?"

"If you're really afraid of scaring me, don't get hurt in the future!"

Chu Chen: "..."

Han Mengqin can't be said, so what else can he do?It can only be left to her.

Chu Chen thought helplessly that he had never had anything to do with Han Mengqin.

Seeing that Chu Chen, the rightful lord, had nothing to say, the doctor naturally wouldn't go overboard.However, he couldn't help but look at Han Mengqin more.

The little lady looked so delicate, but she didn't expect her to be very courageous.However, the relationship between her and this little man is really good.

Chu Chen's clothes were already wet with blood, and the doctor took great pains to separate the clothes from the flesh.

Han Mengqin noticed that Chu Chen's shoulders were shaking slightly, as if he was enduring something.

He must be in pain, right?It's all right, it's all pretending in front of her!

At the moment when he saw the wound on Chu Chen's body, Han Mengqin's eyes turned red, and tears flowed out directly.

There were big and small scars on Chu Chen's body, some were shallower, some were deeper.The shoulder that had just been injured was dripping with blood, which looked quite terrifying.

No wonder Chu Chen didn't want Han Mengqin to see his wounds... How much has he suffered all these years in places where she couldn't see?How much did you suffer?

"Qinqin, don't cry, I'm fine. These... don't hurt a long time ago. It's only when I see you cry that I feel bad."

As Chu Chen said, he stretched out his other uninjured hand and wiped away Han Mengqin's tears.The hot tears rolled in his palms, making his heart extremely soft.

"You're all injured, and you're still so dishonest. Be careful not to drag your wounds." Han Mengqin looked fierce, but both Chu Chen and the doctor at the side could see her sternness.

Han Mengqin carefully learned the steps of administering medicine to Chu Chen from the doctor, and carefully noted down the taboos during the recovery period, before sending the doctor away.

Therefore, in the next few days, Chu Chen received meticulous care from Han Mengqin.Han Mengqin personally cooked for him, boiled medicine for him, stared at him to drink it all, and then stuffed a candied date into his mouth at the end.

Even when Chu Chen needed to change his dressing, Han Mengqin did not pretend to be human.

In this small courtyard with two entrances, Han Mengqin slept outside Chu Chen.As long as there is any movement in Chu Chen, she can hear it.

Chu Chen naturally enjoyed Han Mengqin's concern for him, but Han Mengqin's act of treating him as a glass man still made him feel unnecessary.

I think when I was at the border, even if I was injured on the first day, after the wound was treated, I still went to battle to kill the enemy the next day.

Other aspects are fine, but there is one thing that Chu Chen can't stand——

"Qinqin, why is today's meal steamed?" Chu Chen looked at Han Mengqin helplessly.

The recent meals are either steamed or boiled, and the birds are really fading out of Chu Chen's mouth.

"The doctor said that you have to eat lightly during the recovery period. So, in order to heal your injury as soon as possible, please bear with it for a while." Han Mengqin also knew that these dishes did not meet Chu Chen's appetite: "Wait When you recover from your injury, I'll cook something delicious for you."

"My injury is almost healed." Chu Chen had no expression when he said this, but Han Mengqin could see a little grievance from his face.She couldn't help but smiled: "Brother Chen, are you acting like a baby to me?"

Before Chu Chen could answer, Han Mengqin said again: "However, even if Brother Chen acts like a baby to me, it's useless. For your health, you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions. By the way, the doctor said, I will give you more money recently." Eat something that nourishes the blood, I made red dates and chicken soup for you today, drink some."

When Chu Chen heard this, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell on the bed.

He admitted that Han Mengqin's soup tasted good, but he would get tired of drinking it every day!Especially, these days, Han Mengqin cooks such a big pot of soup for him every day, and he wants to drink it all by himself.

No, he must get better as soon as possible.If this kind of life goes on, he can't bear it.

At the same time, in the capital, Emperor Chongde, who received news of the assassination of Chu Chen and Han Mengqin, also began to investigate the matter.

Just like the investigation results of Chu Chen and Han Mengqin, all the evidence points to Wu Guiren and the Wu family.

Although Wu Guiren has been crying for grievances, according to her current status, it is not easy to even meet Emperor Chongde.

Emperor Chongde directly took Wu Guiren's position, demoted her to a commoner, and put her in the cold palace.And her son, the fourth prince, was handed over to Concubine An, who had been in the palace for many years and had no children or favours.

It is said to be taking care of, but in fact it is just a formality.After all, the fourth prince is already 16 years old this year, and there is no need for concubine An to take care of him. After his wedding, he can go to Fandi.

The Wu family was stripped of their official positions by Emperor Chongde, and the whole family was exiled.

"Hmph, some people are getting more and more courageous now. For their own selfishness, they even dare to assassinate officials ordered by the court." Emperor Chongde angrily said to Empress Ding: "And Qin'er... those people know that I value Qin Er, it is unforgivable to dare to attack Qin'er!"

Empress Ding frowned: "Your majesty also knows that my concubines have always disliked the Wu family. But assassinating Qin'er and A Chen is probably beyond the capabilities of the current Wu family and Wu family."

In the past, the Wu family in its heyday might have been able to do it.But now, the Wu family is rejected by Emperor Chongde, and the Wu family has received a lot of power. Now they are too busy to take care of themselves. Even if they want to take revenge on Chu Chen and Han Mengqin, they will be powerless.

"I know that this matter may not have been done by the Wu family. However, after the investigation of the Wu family, all the clues have been cut off. I can only assume that it was done by the Wu family." Emperor Chongde said mercilessly: "Anyway, the Wu family has done a lot of things that hurt nature and reason in the past. I didn't go into it, but it doesn't mean I don't know. They are not wronged now that they have ended up like this."

Speaking of which, Emperor Chongde has shown mercy.If it is judged according to the law, the assassination of an official ordered by the court should be beheaded.

Emperor Chongde also thought that the Wu family had made some contributions over the years, and this incident may not be due to the Wu family's actions, so he was sentenced to exile.Although life will definitely not be easy, at least the whole family is still alive.

Queen Ding saw the attitude of Emperor Chongde.

These days, there have been constant disputes in the harem, and it is not uncommon for the former dynasty to be involved.Concubine Zhang Xian and Concubine Wang Shu fought openly and secretly, winning and losing each other.Emperor Chongde was a little tired of this.

It's not that he didn't investigate this time, it's just that there was no result after the investigation, so he didn't bother to spend any more effort on this matter, and wanted to close the case directly.According to his usual habits, perhaps Concubine Zhang Xian and Concubine Wang Shu will be warned next time.

But this is not the result Queen Ding wanted.

Her daughter was so frightened, and her future son-in-law was injured.How could she let the person behind the scenes escape unscathed?

Empress Ding thought for a while, and recruited her confidants and said, "Let's find a way to tell Mrs. Wu what we heard from Concubine Wang Shu."

Now, in this palace, there are only Empress Ding and the Wu family, who don't want this matter to pass in such a muddle-headed way.
