A traitor

In Shangshu's mansion, there was a rush, and servants came and went with basins.

Mei Liusheng stood at the door, looking at the people coming in and out, for some reason, there was a trace of melancholy in his heart.

Su Qinglang was indeed seriously injured this time, even the imperial physician in the palace would feel troubled, he has been in for two hours, and there is still no sign of improvement.

"Mei...Master Mei..." The housekeeper came over and stood beside him and asked, "Do you want to inform the master and madam about this matter?"

Thinking of Su Zheshan and Su Qinglang's second mother, Mei Liusheng's thoughts paused, and finally sighed: "No need for now, it's getting so late now, and brother Su's condition is not stable yet, I'm afraid I'll inform them at this time." It will only make the two old people worry in vain."

The housekeeper nodded when he heard the words, and then cupped his hands to Mei Liusheng: "Thank you, Mr. Mei, for helping me with today's matter, otherwise, my lord..."

Mei Liusheng smiled and said: "Regardless of my friendship with Brother Su, even strangers should not stand idly by when encountering such a thing, not to mention that Brother Su is congratulating me today, walking back home I was attacked on the road, what Liu Sheng did was a matter of course, the housekeeper is not polite."

The housekeeper let out a sigh, recalling the whole story of this incident, and the scene of Mei Liusheng holding his lord and coming back covered in blood, he still had lingering fears in his heart.

He wiped off his cold sweat, and said half with emotion: "It's a coincidence, if Mr. Mei hadn't insisted on sending my lord back, I'm afraid that my lord would be in trouble today."

Hearing this, Mei Liusheng's thoughts paused, he smiled gently again, and echoed: "It can be seen that brother Su Jiren has his own heavenly appearance, and even the heavens protect him, preventing those thieves from succeeding."

The butler nodded in acquiescence, then looked up again, and saw the imperial doctor coming out, and hurriedly went up to meet him and asked, "Doctor Zhang, how is my lord doing?"

Doctor Zhang was old after all, he treated Su Qinglang's injuries in the room for a long time, his body was a bit overwhelmed, he stood at the door to calm down for a long time, and then he took a little rest.

At this time, Mei Liusheng also came over and waited quietly. Doctor Zhang wiped off his sweat, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Mei, the iron arrow has been taken out. Fortunately, the arrow was not poisoned. It's just that Mr. Su is seriously injured, he must rest well these days, and don't work any longer."

Mei Liusheng nodded slightly, bowed his hands to thank Imperial Doctor Zhang, and asked someone to prepare a carriage to take the imperial doctor back home.

But at this time, the imperial doctor said meaningfully: "It's getting late, Mr. Mei will go to court early tomorrow, it's better to go back to rest earlier. As for Mr. Su, there are servants in the mansion to take care of you. There may be some nobles coming from the Qin Xiangfu later, so don't worry, sir."

Mei Liusheng was startled for a moment, then realized the meaning of his words, and nodded hesitantly.

After the imperial doctor left, Mei Liusheng stepped into the room, walked around the screen, and saw Su Qinglang lying quietly on the bed.

The butler also came in, thinking of the imperial doctor's advice before he left, he came to Mei Liusheng, glanced at Su Qinglang who was sleeping, and reminded in a low voice: "Master Mei, your condition has stabilized now, Don't worry, my lord, if my lord still has morning court tomorrow, I will send someone to take you back to my residence."

Mei Liusheng turned his eyes sideways, thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay, you are all tired, you'd better go down and rest first, I'll watch over here."

Hearing this, the housekeeper was at a loss for words: "Master Mei, this..."

He just wanted to tell about Qin Huan, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he quickly swallowed it.

Then I heard Mei Liusheng continue: "Liusheng is incompetent and hurt brother Su, if I don't see him wake up, I really can't let go."

Hearing this, the housekeeper can never forcibly drive someone away, let alone this person is Su Qinglang's savior.

In the end, he could only compromise and said, "Okay, then there will be Lord Laumei."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to signal the people in the room to retreat, but he didn't really leave, but stayed outside the door.

Mei Liusheng glanced sideways at the person standing at the door, then looked at Su Qinglang, walked a little closer to him for a long time, looked down at him, as if looking at another self.

Not long ago, when he came back with Su Qinglang in his arms, Su Qinglang was not completely unconscious.At that time, Su Qinglang whispered something in his ear, which made him inexplicably concerned.

With such serious injuries, in the chaos, Su Qinglang said to him: "Fortunately, I didn't kill you..."

He thought it was his own illusion at the time, but when he subconsciously looked down, he met Su Qinglang's bright black eyes. smile.

Why do you do this, why do you say that?

Mei Liusheng only felt a little heavy in his heart, as if he had been poured a pot of lead, which made his chest tight and painful.

Even if it was him, it was impossible for him to remain silent and silent when he was so seriously injured, right?

So why do it, why... do it to this extent?

Just as he was thinking, he heard another weak groan, and when he looked down, he saw that Su Qinglang had woken up from a coma.

He hurried over and asked with concern: "Brother Su, are you awake?"

Su Qinglang coughed, perhaps the wound was involved in the action, and his brows were slightly frowned.

He looked at Mei Liusheng, his eyes were dull for a moment, and then he slowly smiled: "Brother Mei..."

Seeing that he was fully awake, Mei Liusheng felt relieved. He nodded slightly and said softly, "Brother Su, how are you feeling?"

Su Qinglang shook his head, coughed again, and said, "I'm fine, thank you Brother Mei today, otherwise I'd be dead and come back."

Mei Liusheng sighed, and said angrily: "I said earlier, it's too dangerous to ask Brother Su to bring some guards when he goes out."

Su Qinglang smiled, there was no blood on his pale face, he struggled to sit up, but the injury was too serious, so he lay down again.

Mei Liusheng looked at his wound, feeling a little worried, and wanted to persuade him to lie down, but seeing Su Qinglang struggling again, he could only reach out to help him.

He gently lifted Su Qinglang up and let him lean on a soft pillow, only to see Su Qinglang clutching his wound, adjusted his posture and sat up.

He closed his eyes, with a bit of bitterness on his lips, and said in a light tone: "If it weren't for Brother Mei, I'm afraid even the little prince's patrol army would be useless. Someone wants me to die, how many guards do I bring?" It's useless. If that's the case, why bother to waste the lives of innocent people?"

Thinking of Su Qinglang's conversation with the assassin today, Mei Liusheng was about to ask, but he heard a rush of footsteps outside.

A figure walked in, wearing a purple robe, a gorgeous hair crown, and full of dignity from top to bottom, one didn't even need to think about who it was.

When Qin Huan received the news, he hurried over, saw Su Qinglang sitting on the couch, and hurried over.

He sat on the side of the bed, stretched out his hand to touch Su Qinglang's face, and asked softly, "Qinglang, how are you?"

Mei Liusheng's gaze paused, he looked at Qin Huan's back, and then at the atmosphere between the two, he was silent and did not speak.

He only heard Su Qinglang cough lightly, with a comforting smile on his pale face, he said softly: "The imperial doctor just saw it, and it's all right..."

He paused, raised his eyes to look at Mei Liusheng, and said, "This is Mr. Mei, who is on the list in the new department, and he is the one who saved me."

It was only then that Qin Huan realized that there was a third person in the room. He followed Su Qinglang's gaze, showing embarrassment, clenched his fists and coughed lightly, and stood up embarrassingly from the side of the bed.

Xiang Mei Liusheng cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Mr. Mei, for saving Qinglang's life."

Mei Liusheng sized Qin Huan up for a moment, then lowered his head slightly: "Brother Su is my friend, it's only natural to save him, you don't have to be polite, brother."

As he said that, he turned his eyes to Su Qinglang, only to hear Su Qinglang remain silent for a moment, before explaining lightly: "This is the son of Qin Xiangfu, and also my friend."

Hearing this, Mei Liusheng turned to Qin Huan again, bowed his hands to him and said, "It turns out that he is the son of Prime Minister Qin's mansion, I'm sorry and disrespectful."

Qin Huan was worried about Su Qinglang's injury, so he didn't want to deal with him, and because of Mei Liusheng's existence, he couldn't say a lot on the spot. Mei Liusheng looked at Su Qinglang, and then at Qin Huan. The latter obviously showed no sign of leaving. It would be embarrassing to stay here by myself.

So he said to Su Qinglang: "Since Brother Su is fine, I will leave. I have to go to court tomorrow, and I will come to visit Brother Su another day. Su Qinglang raised his head and glanced at him, but he didn't want to keep him. Mei Liusheng went back.

But Mei Liusheng refused and said: "Brother Su, I can go back by myself, don't need to bother anymore." Saying that, without giving Su Qinglang a chance to react, he turned and left.

Su Qinglang was startled, looking at his back until he disappeared beside the screen in the inner room, then silently looked away, leaned against the bed, closed his eyes and coughed.

Seeing Mei Liusheng leave, Qin Huan sat down again and glanced at Su Qinglang's right shoulder. On the newly changed robe, blood was faintly soaked again, which shocked him.

He stretched out his hand, intending to take a look at Su Qinglang's injury, but he was afraid of hurting him, so he stopped the moment he touched the robe.

Qin Huan's hand paused in mid-air, stalemate for a long time, and finally clenched his fingers tightly and retracted them. He looked at Su Qinglang, frowned and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Su Qinglang nodded and hummed, and said again: "It hurt a little at first, but now I don't feel it anymore."

Hearing this, Qin Huan frowned even deeper, and sighed, "The wound is numb now, but you can't feel it. After two days, you will know."

He stretched out his hand, straightened the quilt and said, "Do you want to sleep? You should be very tired after being so busy."

Su Qinglang looked at him, and asked in silence for a moment: "You didn't even ask me, what happened?"

Qin Huan smiled, he leaned down, approached Su Qinglang, touched his ear with his fingers, there was an inexplicable warmth: "There are some things I want to know, I can check it myself, the most important thing now is Just to see you get better."

He paused, stretched out his hand lightly, took Su Qinglang into his arms, lowered his head against his side face, and murmured: "Qinglang, I'm really... about to be scared to death by you..."
