Chapter 197: No Need To Worry About Her, Let’s Go

【 On the bed with the pink gauze curtains, the bandage on Ning Xueyan’s shoulder was already wrapped. Now it was winter, and the clothes outside were quite thick. Even with the bandage wrapped, it couldn’t be seen. The wound medicine used was also good, and the wound was no longer burning hot, but she couldn’t lift her arm.

The clothes on her body had already been changed by the palace maid who served her. This palace maid was the one who had just pretended to be the favored concubine and sat beside Ao Chenyi.

After helping her put on the last piece of clothing, the palace maid slowly retreated.

Ning Xueyan sat up, reached out, and touched her left shoulder. Fortunately, when she rushed over at that moment, Ao Chenyi pulled her with force; otherwise, her entire shoulder would have been ruined. Although her body was much better than before, her foundation was still a bit thin. Beside the bed, in the copper mirror, was a pale face, almost without a trace of blood.

The left hand had almost no strength, and it weakly drooped down.

The corner of her mouth couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile. This little injury wasn’t really anything to others, but for her, it was an injury to her tendons and bones.

The door was pushed open heavily, and Ao Chenyi, with a gloomy face, strode in. He walked in front of the bed and stood two or three steps away from her, sizing up Ning Xueyan with his eyes. Then he elegantly shook his black royal robe and sat on the chair beside the bed, asking Ning Xueyan with an unclear meaning: “Say, saving me like this to buy your life, don’t tell me you want to truly become this King’s Princess Consort?”

“Your Highness is joking.” Ning Xueyan smiled slightly, supporting herself on the bed and standing up. “Can I ask Your Highness to bring my maidservant over so she can help me leave here?”

Such a thing happened in the palace. Even Prince Yi was assassinated. The two Young Ladies under the plum blossom tree before were already screaming. Now, everything was in chaos, and they were all going outside the palace. It was most suitable to leave in the chaos at this time. No one would care if others were injured. There was nothing abnormal about bumping into each other and getting injured in a panic.

So, she must leave at this time!

Otherwise, if she wanted to leave after the palace stabilized again, it wouldn’t be easy.

“Really don’t want this King to repay kindness?” Ao Chenyi’s voice was faint.

“No need to repay kindness. Speaking of which, I still need to thank Your Highness. If it weren’t for Your Highness saving me, I wouldn’t be alive now.” Ning Xueyan raised her pale face and smiled softly. Suddenly, elegantly and with difficulty, she bowed deeply to Ao Chenyi. “Thank you very much for saving me this time, I will repay this kindness!”

Just as the arrow hit Ning Xueyan, watching Ao Chenyi’s action to quickly pull her back, and the composure and annoyance on his face, between the lightning and sparks, Ning Xueyan suddenly realized that this person had already seen the people on the artificial hill. The reason he gave others a chance to shoot an arrow was just to carry out his next plan.

And she seemed to have unintentionally destroyed his plan!

Otherwise, he couldn’t have turned around and avoided it so quickly. And the reason she couldn’t avoid it was only because of the extra burden of herself. It was only because he lost his aim when avoiding that he got hit. Fortunately, it was herself who was injured; otherwise, this Asura King wouldn’t know how to torment herself.

A hint of interest suddenly appeared on Ao Chenyi’s handsome face, and the gloominess on his face slightly receded. “Xueyan, is rather a smart person. This King likes to talk to smart people the most.”

Although he didn’t say Ning Xueyan was right, he didn’t deny it either, which further confirmed Ning Xueyan’s previous thoughts.

But since he didn’t say it explicitly, Ning Xueyan wasn’t willing to touch his bad luck. She only needed to express her thanks and sincerity.

“Thank you for Your Highness’s praise. In front of Your Highness, this kind of Xueyan is really too shallow, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me.” Ning Xueyan was Neither Haughty Nor Humble, although her face was pale as snow, she still stood straight. It was hard to believe that such a delicate and weak body would have such a strong will.

Ao Chenyi’s gaze quietly fell on Ning Xueyan’s body, he didn’t respond to her words. His profound eyes reflected Ning Xueyan’s fragile figure, after a while, he used his extremely pleasant but Evil Coldness voice: “Do you want this King to marry that Third Young Lady from your Mansion, to vent your anger?”

Marry Ning Qingshan? Vent her anger? Ning Xueyan couldn’t keep up with his jumping thoughts for a moment, blinked her watery eyes, then understood, lowered her eyelids, and sighed: “Thank you, Your Highness, but these are just matters within the Duke’s Mansion. Why use a knife to kill a chicken? Yan’er can handle it.”

How Ning Qingshan was, she didn’t want to discuss, but this person had already stood on her opposite side, and also showed an Irreconcilable situation with herself. But she didn’t want to trouble Ao Chenyi with this matter within the inner courtyard, only hoping that when there was a real need in the future, Ao Chenyi would help her.

Moreover, she also sensitively sensed that Ao Chenyi’s words were just a probe. Ao Chenyi was the kind of Overbearing person who says one thing is one thing, if he really wanted to marry Ning Qingshan, it wasn’t because of what she said or didn’t say, his two substantial gazes, which were cold and sharp, didn’t have a bit of gentleness.

“You’re not afraid that Ning Qingshan will conspire with Ao Mingyu to take your life, with your identity in the Duke’s Mansion, I heard you’re not even comparable to an Adopted Daughter.” Ao Chenyi’s voice was like a double-edged sword, directly ripping open the mask of the Duke’s Mansion.

A direct daughter, compared to an adopted daughter who doesn’t possess any bloodline, only the Duke’s Mansion would have such Flesh and Blood nature.

Ning Qingshan was already very difficult to deal with, plus an Ao Mingyu who had thoughts for Ning Qingshan, facing their cooperation, Ning Xueyan would only have a Dead End.

“Afraid, of course I’m afraid! But what can I do if I’m afraid, will they let me go because I’m afraid?” Ning Xueyan smiled slightly, with a bit of coldness and emptiness in the corner of her mouth, and the weakness on her face was swept away.

Of course, she knew that being afraid was useless!

「 When she was at the Lotus Pond, she was beaten by Ning Ziyan and Madam Ling until she was on the verge of death, she was very afraid, and really wanted someone to save her, but what she waited for was Xia Yuhang’s Betrayal and Heartless, watching herself being pressed into the Lotus Pond and dying.

At that moment, she clearly realized that fear could never solve any problem!

Relying on others was completely useless!

If she could, she only wished she were stronger, so she could better drag her Enemy down to Hell.

“Ning Xueyan, you are very good, you are a smart person, and I hope you will continue to be so smart.” A smile suddenly appeared on Ao Chenyi’s mouth, and the thin, red lips curled up. On that face that was exquisite to the point of Monster, a slightly less Gloomy expression appeared for the first time. He raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, and placed a porcelain bottle in his hand on the desk beside the bed.

“The medicine in here, apply it once a day. The injury is not serious, it should be better in a few days, but be careful not to get wet in water these few days!”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Ning Xueyan said faintly.

Watching Ao Chenyi leave with big strides, her body felt a little weak, she leaned against the bedpost, and sweat was faintly visible on her forehead. Her body was really weak, and she was already dizzy and weak after just a little bit of blood.

“Young Lady, what’s wrong? Are you alright?” Lan Ning came from the doorway, and saw Ning Xueyan leaning weakly against the bedpost and Panting.

“It’s alright, let’s go!” Ning Xueyan forced herself to sit up, and a comforting smile appeared on her pale face.

“Okay, let’s go through the back door. Your Highness sent two people there, and they will take us to a safe place.” Lan Ning didn’t know this wasn’t the place to speak, and came over to help Ning Xueyan and was about to go out.

Ning Xueyan had just taken a step and walked two steps, when she saw the medicine bottle on the desk, she reached out and took it and put it in her arms, and then walked towards the back under Lan Ning’s support.

At the back door of the courtyard, right behind the artificial hill, everything was in a Mess in front, Flesh and Blood was flying everywhere, and there were many corpses casually thrown on the Ground. The people in the palace had gone to deal with it in front, and there was no one behind, a palace maid guarding there saw Ning Xueyan coming over and reached out to help her, and another eunuch looked to the left and right and saw no one, led them around the path, and walked out of this place.

After turning a few Forks, they had already seen figures ahead. Such a big thing had happened in the palace, and Assassins had appeared, and even Prince Yi was injured. These Pampered Young Ladies, who had never seen such a Scene, had their legs softened long ago, they were supporting their own maidservants and stumbling out, and had long lost their previous Elegant bearing.

Now they were all Trembling with Fear, fearing that more Assassins would suddenly appear somewhere and assassinate them.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace couldn’t even bother to lead the way for them. Compared to these Young Ladies, they seemed to be easier to be killed.

So looking over, on this road, there were three or two, all those Aristocratic Family daughters who were usually high and mighty, and at this time they couldn’t care about the Difference Between Men and Women. Men always had more Guts than women. Some of them were siblings from the same Mansion, of course, they were walking together, and a few Young Ladies were in Panic, and bumped into some flowers and plants when they were running, and one even hurt their head.

So when Ning Xueyan, with a Pale Face, appeared on the palace road, no one cared.

She didn’t know many people to begin with, and the only Heng Yuqing, she didn’t know where she had gone, and looking around, there wasn’t even one person she knew, she simply supported Lan Ning’s hand and slowly walked out. The weight of her body was almost entirely on Lan Ning, and her feet were Unsteady, and it could be seen that the situation wasn’t very good.

The palace maid and eunuch who were following them had already quietly retreated.

“Young Lady, is that the Third Young Lady in front?” Lan Ning suddenly said softly in Ning Xueyan’s ear. Ning Xueyan composed herself, looked up and looked in front, and indeed saw a Figure quite similar to Ning Qingshan, closed her eyes, and when she looked again, she saw clearly that it was indeed Ning Qingshan.

“Young Lady, the Third Young Lady also seems to be injured?” Lan Ning looked for a while and asked with Hesitation.

The situation of Ning Qingshan in front of Ning Xueyan was actually so similar, her maidservant and a palace maid were supporting her on both sides, and she was walking a bit Unsteady.

Ning Qingshan was also injured? Ning Xueyan’s Willow Leaf Eyebrows slightly furrowed, carefully looking at Ning Qingshan in front of her, and was Speechless for a while. In this state, Ning Qingshan was really injured.

How could Ning Qingshan be injured when she was doing fine? Wasn’t she with Noble Consort Ya? The Emperor’s people could never go to Noble Consort Ya, so how did Ning Qingshan get injured?

Ao Chenyi’s words inexplicably echoed in her mind, and her heart inexplicably moved, she raised her pale face and tried to raise a Weak Smile: “Don’t worry about her, we go our way!”
