Having exposed herself, Lan'er no longer pretended to be delicate, and her gaze became fierce, like a sharp knife.

Chu Ning was still bleeding, and she fell into the tub with no strength left.Xie Heng directly took off a ball of clothes and tied Lan Er to the pillar, and gagged her again to prevent her from swallowing poison and committing suicide.

When tying Lan'er, Xie Heng's hands were trembling, he didn't care about any strength, and tied the knot vigorously, almost strangling Lan'er's hands.After doing this, he hurried to help Chu Ning, picked her up, and checked the wound immediately.

Although Lan'er used medicine when she attacked Chu Ning, Chu Ning still reacted quickly and avoided the vital point, only stabbing her shoulder, but the wound was a bit deep.

"I...I'm fine..." Chu Ning's voice was weak and hoarse, and he gasped in pain.

Xie Heng first helped him put on a piece of clothing, then used the hot water next to it to make it warm to wipe Chu Ning's wound, and then tied the wound with a clean cloth strip next to it.After a simple treatment, carry the person back to the bedroom.

On the way back to the bedroom, Xie Heng ran into Chang Ming. Chang Ming saw that Chu Ning was injured, his eyes were red with anxiety, and he was about to call the imperial doctor immediately, but Xie Heng stopped him.

"Go to the shower room and take care of Lan'er first, don't let her commit suicide, and interrogate me later." Xie Heng's gaze was dangerous and fierce.

"Yes." It was the first time that Changming agreed so quickly, and hurried to guard Lan'er.

Xie Heng carried Chu Ning back to the bedroom first, put Chu Ning on the bed and looked around for the medicine box.

"Hiss..." Because of the wound on his body, the medicine that Lan'er had given gradually became ineffective. He leaned against the wall and sat up slowly, but unexpectedly, the wound was pulled, causing him to frown slightly in pain.

"Don't move!" Xie Heng hurriedly found the medicine box, he pressed Chu Ning on the bed, and brought a basin of hot water to wipe Chu Ning's wound. "Why don't you be more honest when you are injured, and wait for your arm to be crippled!"

Chu Ning was so excited by Xie Heng's yelling that she honestly didn't dare to move anymore.He has never suffered any kind of injury on the battlefield, and there are countless scars on his body, it is hard for Xie Heng to still love it.

Xie Heng wiped off the blood, and applied the medicine to stop bleeding on Chu Ning's wound.There was some pain when applying the medicine, Chu Ning frowned, but she didn't dare to hide.After the medicine was finished, Xie Heng found a clean cloth to wrap up the wound.

"Your status is inconvenient to invite a doctor, so you can only do this first." Xie Heng tied a slipknot neatly, and then pulled the quilt for Chu Ning.

Chu Ning was the general of Zhenbei, and was assassinated by a dancer from the northern region bestowed by the emperor. If it got out, people might suspect that the emperor wanted to get rid of Chu Ning.And if the doctor is invited over, the identity of Mr. Chu Ningkun will be easily exposed.

Xie Heng had learned a little dressing for trauma, so that Chu Ning's wound would not be infected.

"Don't worry about me, I don't know how many times I have experienced this kind of injury." Chu Ning's face was pale, showing a comforting smile.He slowly stretched out his other hand, and stroked Xie Heng's forehead, a layer of sweat broke out on Xie Heng's forehead, and he didn't have time to wipe it off.

"If you don't cause trouble, I don't have to worry." Xie Heng stretched out his hand and flicked Chu Ning's forehead. The force was very small, and it would not hurt Chu Ning at all.

"You said this time... who would do it?" Chu Ning asked softly, leaning against the head of the bed.At this time, he gradually felt that the wound was getting more and more painful, and he couldn't help but want to do something to divert his attention.

"It's possible for anyone." Xie Heng didn't seem very sure. "It might be the northern border, it might be Prince Duan...it might even be His Majesty the Emperor."

"Even... there may be more than one force behind Lan'er." Xie Heng let out a long breath.

"How?" Chu Ning asked, frowning.

"Do you ever remember that you were escorted back to the capital because of collaborating with the northern border and treason?" Xie Heng lowered his head and looked at Chu Ning, "You didn't reveal the military plane...Of course other people in the Daliang court leaked it. If it is Someone deliberately colluded with the northern border to frame you, and now it is possible to use dead soldiers to assassinate you."

Chu Ning nodded thoughtfully.

"However, we still have to interrogate Lan'er to find out what's going on." Xie Heng said again.

"I'll go with you." Chu Ning stood up abruptly, and even touched the wound on her body.

"You rest first." Xie Heng pushed Chu Ning back and let him lie on the bed obediently. "The interrogation is not in a hurry. Let the wound heal first and then talk about other things."

Seeing that Xie Heng already knew what to do, Chu Ning didn't force her anymore, and lay on the bed enduring the pain in her shoulder.

Xie Heng put on his cloak and asked the family servants to ask Zhi Fei to come over.Normally, when Xie Heng came to Chu's house, Zhifei would stay in the nearest inn and wait for orders, but it was time for Xie Heng to have a cup of tea.

"You go and buy some medicine for trauma, and give it directly to Chang Ming to let him instruct him to brew the medicine as required. Be careful not to be tampered with." Xie Heng spoke slowly, as if he was thinking about something. "Go and check what news Prince Yan and Prince Duan have tonight."

"Yes, master." Zhi Fei immediately agreed.

"By the way..." Xie Heng remembered something again, and stopped Zhifei who was about to leave. "Tomorrow, I'll take a leave of absence for my wife, and just say I'm sick."

"Then do you still need to ask for leave?" Zhifei asked again.

Xie Heng hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.

After Zhifei left, Xie Heng returned to the bedroom.He poured a cup of hot water and brought it to the head of the bed to prepare, but saw that Chu Ning was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.

Just now Chang Ming came over to report that a colorless and odorless fragrance was put in the bathing room, making people sleepy and weak.It should be that Lan'er was afraid that she would not be able to beat Chu Ning, so she planted Mixiang, and then attacked by herself.

But I'm afraid she didn't expect Chu Ning to react so quickly even if she inhaled Mixiang, but she barely hurt her shoulder.

As for why they don't use poison... When foreign dancers enter the palace, they will purify their bodies, not only for cleanliness, but also for safety. Of course, things like poison cannot be brought in.

It's also fortunate that Lan'er couldn't bring in the poison, otherwise his cuteness...

Xie Heng sat on the head of the bed, quietly staring at his Chuchu.Because of the bleeding and pain from the wound, Chu Ning's face was pale, her lips were dull, a thin layer of sweat was forced from her forehead, her brows were furrowed, and she was not peaceful in her sleep.

He wet the veil with warm water, and wiped Chu Ning's forehead gently and carefully, hoping to make Chu Ning feel better.

In the end, she couldn't hold back, and lightly kissed Chu Ning's hair.

Now the situation is complicated... But no matter how complicated it is, he must keep his sweetness.

Xie Heng watched over Chu Ning's little girl for the whole night, and barely closed her eyes for a while until the early morning.It seems that Chu Ning should have a good physique, although she was injured, she didn't have a fever.Seeing that Chu Ning was really fine, Xie Heng went to court with confidence.

It was already late when Chu Ning woke up, and he slowly put on his clothes under Chang Ming's service.Although Chang Ming's movements were careful enough, it still inevitably hurt Chu Ning.

"How is Lan'er?" Chu Ning hissed, and decided not to wear a coat, but only a fox fur cloak.

"Shut up in the backyard, tied up all over, and asked credible people to watch over the whole day, there is absolutely no chance for her to commit suicide." Chang Ming replied.

"Okay, then let's go and have a look." After speaking, Chu Ning stood up and wanted to leave.

"Master Xie said... that he will interrogate him when he comes back. Young master, you are still injured, how can you interrogate the assassin!" Chang Ming still wanted to stop Chu Ning.

"You are all by my side, what are you afraid of." Chu Ning smiled, "It's just a little girl."

Chang Ming wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade Chu Ning.I can only go with him to the place where Lan'er is detained in the backyard.

Lan'er was held in a small utility room in the backyard, which had been cleaned up, only Lan'er who was tied up was lying helplessly inside.Lan'er's hands and feet were tied, and she could only lie on the ground, with a layer of dust on her cheeks on her clothes.

For a better interrogation, Lan'er has been unable to sleep since last night, and the guards will regularly splash water to wake them up.

When Chu Ning came over, she saw Lan'er lying on the ground in a state of distress, her weak and innocent eyes had already lost their focus.

Chu Ning sat on the chair brought by Chang Ming, and motioned for the servants to wake Lan'er up.

A pot of warm water was poured directly on Lan'er, and Lan'er's eyes slowly focused, looking at Chu Ning with a resentful expression.The cloth strip in her mouth was pulled out, and the servants have checked it several times, and there is no poison to kill herself.

"Tell me, who sent you here to assassinate me." Chu Ning leaned on the back of the chair, her voice hoarse and weak.His nature is not suitable for interrogation, he is not that cruel, he just wants to ask clearly.

"No one assigned me, I wanted to kill you myself." Lan'er sat up reluctantly, her body was dripping wet, and the ground was smooth, she tried such a simple action several times before she succeeded. "People from the northern border...who doesn't want to kill you."

"The battle between the two countries, why do you hate me so much?" Chu Ning naturally didn't believe Lan'er's words.But the hatred in Lan'er's eyes doesn't seem to be fake.

"Ha... the battle between the two countries...you put it lightly." Lan'er's eyes became a little more angry, and she suddenly wanted to rush towards Chu Ning, but was kicked by the servant next to her and fell to the ground on the cold ground. "Hahaha...the two countries are fighting...the only ones who suffer are us ordinary people."

Chu Ning didn't speak, but just looked at Lan'er quietly.

Lan'er lay on the ground laughing wildly, terribly, like a lunatic, but she lost her voice at the end of the laugh.

"Looking at your appearance, you should be from Daliang. Why do you work for people from the northern border?" Chu Ning ignored Lan'er's madness. He just wanted to ask what he wanted to know.

"I'm not from Daliang." Lan'er sneered, "I'm not from the North either...I...haha...nobody."

"Daliang fought against the northern border for many years and confronted each other for many years. When I was five or six years old, my father joined the army and died, and my mother and I were captured to the northern border...and became slaves." When talking about the past, Lan Er His face was expressionless, as indifferent as if this was not her experience at all. "Later, because of my mother's beauty, she was forced to remarry to a small official in the northern border, and our mother and daughter were able to get rid of slavery."

"However, my mother can only be regarded as the most humble concubine with no status. I can only be a maid in this official's family. But being a maid is also very good, and I am content. But my mother and I are bullied everywhere. In order to get promoted , That bastard even dedicated me and my mother to someone else, and my mother was tortured to death in order to protect me... "

Lan'er smiled self-deprecatingly, "All the education I have experienced told me that I am from the North, and I have to give everything for the North. But in the end...when the people in the North bully me when they see my appearance, the people in Daliang look at me I will call me a traitor... I am not from the northern border, nor from Daliang."

"I have no relatives... and no friends... let alone a home." Lan'er stared at Chu Ning, the tears in her eyes flashed away, "I hate all of you... no matter who it is... I want you to die! "

"I'm really sorry." Chu Ning stood up, walked slowly to Lan'er and squatted down, his eyes were gentle, and his tone was also gentle. "It's because we are useless, we failed...to protect you well."

Lan'er was slightly taken aback, as if she couldn't believe it.

"I am the general who guards the frontier in Daliang, so naturally I have to protect all the common people." Chu Ning patted Lan'er on the head, with a little guilt on her face. "It made you suffer."

Lan'er stared at Chu Ning blankly, tears suddenly fell down uncontrollably.She knelt down on the ground, crying out in pain.

In fact, she also understood that the time in the Chu family was the happiest time in her life.Perhaps it was because Chu Ning was too gentle and warm.So last night when she struck in the wrong direction, she didn't really kill Chu Ning.

But she obviously could stop, but she still did it out of hatred.

"The lord who trained me...has...written letters with Prince Duan." Lan'er closed her eyes, but tears still flowed out uncontrollably.

That's the... only good thing she did.

"I will not kill you, nor will I let you go." Chu Ning got the answer she wanted and stood up slowly. "You can stay here forever, you can ask for what you want, but you can't leave."

Laner did not respond to him.

After Chu Ning finished speaking, she went out, but just as he walked out the door - a servant came up to report in a hurry, and almost bumped into Chu Ning.

"What are you doing so carelessly! Didn't you see the young master here?" Chang Ming subconsciously stopped the servant and reprimanded him.

"Master...Master! It's not good! Mr. Xie's Zhi Fei sent someone to send a message, saying it was..."

"What?!" Chu Ning suddenly panicked.

"It is said that someone has reported that Prince Duan and Lord Xie sold their officials, even colluded with the enemy and treason the country! Now Prince Duan is imprisoned in Prince Duan's mansion, and Lord Xie has been arrested in the prison!"

The author has something to say: Don't worry, I won't abuse you.

I feel that there are more and more loopholes in logic... woo woo woo The author is not smart, how can he write smart characters?
