Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Bai Xianyu pursed her lips. The moment Xie Xingyun kissed her, the image of him saying not to fall asleep with red eyes appeared in her mind.
Her voice was a little weak, but before the doctor came, she had to do something. “Help me tell Bai Li to be ‘careful’.”
Xie Xingyun looked at her deeply. “Okay, go to sleep.”
Bai Xianyu could not take it anymore. Her heart throbbed in pain. The moment the arrow shot over, she even felt that her internal organs had shifted. “You kept that arrow, right?”
Xie Xingyun’s heart ached when he saw her expression. He leaned over and tapped her sleeping acupoint.
Bai Xianyu’s eyes widened slightly. In the last second before she fell asleep, she heard Xie Xingyun’s voice say in her ear,
“It’ll be fine.”
There was no time to think. The tiredness and pain from within slowly dissipated, and she gently closed her eyes.
The doctor was urged by a few imperial orders to come over. Along the way, he did not know who he was going to treat. He only knew that the person had been injured by an arrow. Before he reached the courtyard, he saw a group of young men and women in extraordinary clothes standing or sitting. They had different expressions on their faces and all their gazes were on him.
He was a little terrified. At this moment, a young man in a luxurious robe walked out of the only room in the courtyard. His expression was slightly cold. He looked about the same age as these people, but the calmness and restraint in his eyes far exceeded his peers.
After entering the house, he checked the girl’s injuries and was a little surprised. The wound was indeed very deep, but it had already been treated. “This wound has been treated beautifully. It’s no longer bleeding. It should be fine. I’ll prescribe some tonic medicines for her to nourish her body. She should be fine after taking them for three months.”
The young man nodded and dispatched someone to get the medicine.
The news of Bai Xianyu’s serious injuries quickly reached Emperor Wu Xuan’s ears. The latter was furious and ordered the Court of Judicial Review to find out the culprit at all costs.
With her injuries, it was not suitable for Bai Xianyu to move. It was quiet in the Great Xiangguo Temple, so she could recuperate and avoid traveling. The imperial physicians in the palace entered and left the temple in waves. They only gradually stopped when Bai Xianyu’s wounds started to scab.
Gu Yu was among the first batch that came. He did not leave after coming and directly asked for a guest room to stay here.
Xie Xingyun spent most of his time in Bai Xianyu’s residence. After such a thing happened, Li Dan and the others were recalled to the palace immediately and were ordered not to go out for the time being.
Therefore, the only people living in the Great Xiangguo Temple were those from Daqing, Xie Xingyun, and Gu Yu.
After Gu Yu finished checking Bai Xianyu’s pulse, he slowly walked out of the room and walked towards the man sitting on the stone bench.
“It’s alright. The situation has stabilized.” Gu Yu spoke in a carefree manner. Perhaps he had seen too much life and death and was indifferent to many things.
“Medicine?”
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows and took out a jade bottle from his sleeve. “It’s done. It cost me a lot of precious herbs.”
Xie Xingyun’s gaze was light. “Remember, go to my residence another day to settle the accounts.”
“Do I really need your money?” Gu Yu smiled and said, “I was just saying that casually. For this medicine, apply it once in the morning and once at night. It’s best not to skip it for a month so that there won’t be a scar when the wound recovers. I can assure you that the skin will still be fair and soft. There won’t be any trace of the injury.”
“Thanks.”
Xie Xingyun put this bottle of medicine into his sleeve.
The place where Bai Xianyu was staying was heavily guarded, but it could not stop Xie Xingyun.
Every morning, before anyone woke up, he would go to her room to apply the medicine and sneak in at night to do it again.
Bai Xianyu had a fever for a few days because the wound was infected previously. She had been feeling groggy for the past few days.
Green Pearl and her other maidservants were sent over to take care of her, but she constantly smelled a faint sandalwood scent.
The smell of Xie Xingyun.
It was as if he was right beside her.
However, every time she opened her eyes and regained consciousness, it was always Green Pearl busying beside her.
That night, Bai Xianyu’s fever finally subsided and she broke out in a sweat.
She was so tired that she did not want to move. Suddenly, she felt the blanket covering her being lifted. Her eyelids trembled, and then her shoulders felt cold. Her clothes were pulled to the spot where she had been shot.
Bai Xianyu did not open her eyes, and her heart beat faster. It turned out that her sense of smell had not been wrong these days. Xie Xingyun had indeed been by her side, but he had avoided others..
