Chapter 104 Questioning
Xiao Ning's lips moved, unable to speak.She only felt her icy body fall into a warm embrace, and then there was darkness and depth in front of her eyes.

The heavy rain poured down like broken beads, completely covering the world.

The dense rain lines make people unable to see everything in front of them clearly, and only feel that their eyes are covered with a layer of gray.crackling.

The fire flickered, accompanied by a burst of sparks flying out, and a slight blue smoke drifted out, followed by a burst of warmth.

Xiao Ning slowly opened his eyes, and what came into his eyes was a stern face.

"Are you awake?" Si Ruiyan whispered coldly, and casually picked up a lotus leaf cup folded into a square, "Drink water?"

He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but Xiao Ning really felt that his voice was extremely dry and hoarse, and he couldn't answer it even if he wanted to, so he could only nod his head slightly.

When the clear dew enters the mouth, the internal organs feel a burst of cooling and refreshing.

"Where are those assassins?" Xiao Ning regained his composure, and couldn't help but tense again.

Surrounded by cold, hard and dark rocks, her eyes trembled unconsciously.

"Don't be afraid, this is a cave, we are safe now." Si Ruiyan felt her body trembling slightly, "I have killed all those assassins."

Xiao Ning recalled the scene before he fell into a coma, the corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Her eyes moved slightly, and Si Ruiyan's stern face was in her pupils.At this time, she suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood between her nostrils.

"I should have saved you earlier." Si Ruiyan's eyes showed a bit of guilt, "but I must silence them all, or my skills will be exposed."

For a long time, he, the fourth prince, has always been incompetent in literature and martial arts, and he is not considered outstanding among the children of the capital.Although he practiced swords every day, in the eyes of outsiders, it was nothing more than flamboyant fists and embroidered legs, not worth mentioning at all.

Such a reputation is embarrassing among the princes, but even with the assassination of the concubine, Duke Li still doubted him.

If the news of his prowess gets out, Duke Li and the others will take the opportunity to make trouble again.

"It's okay, I'm fine right now." Xiao Ning frowned, the severe pain from her shoulder made her unable to hold back her breath.

"The rain is too heavy, so I can only temporarily bandage you to stop the bleeding. Just bear with it." Si Ruiyan's eyes moved, and his voice softened a lot. some herbs."

The delicate and warm voice is like spring water in March, slowly soaking into people's hearts.

The dim light of the fire shone on Si Ruiyan's face, outlining his stern face with a bit of warmth.

It was the first time for Xiao Ning to see him from such a close distance.

"There are a lot of wound medicines on the carriage. You have been practicing swords very diligently recently, and injuries are inevitable. I thought they were prepared for you, but I didn't expect to use any of them."

Si Ruiyan frowned slightly, and his eyes gradually became warm.

"But it's okay, I still have a bottle of medicine on me." Xiao Ning shook his sleeves reluctantly, feeling that something was falling and shaking inside.

"Old Song was afraid that I would bump into something, so he packed another dose of medicine for me before going out. Although it is not much, it should be enough."

Before going out, Xiao Ning still wanted Lao Song to chatter like an old woman.Fortunately, she just said she was bored, so she accepted the medicine.

Because of her shoulder injury, she couldn't move her other hand, so she could only look up at Si Ruiyan imploringly.

This woman's sleeve is a place that cannot be touched, and there is only one person in the world who can touch it, and that is her husband-in-law.

"Didn't you say that the rain is light and you want to help me pick the medicine, and you have to look at my shoulder for this medicine. Why, you dare to look at it, but dare not touch the sleeve?" Xiao Ning saw that he was hesitating With a bit of embarrassment, I couldn't help laughing.

In this era, women have to cover their faces when going out.But in her time, there were countless girls wearing short-sleeved skirts.

Showing a shoulder or something is nothing at all.

It's just that she didn't expect that Si Ruiyan, an imposing prince, would be shy about this.

"Hold on." Hearing the chuckle, Si Ruiyan also frowned, and took out the piece of paper wrapped in medicine in a fit of anger.

This time, his fingers slightly touched the soft skin.

Si Ruiyan's eyes trembled, and he withdrew his hand as if burned.

Perhaps it was too much movement, which touched the sleeves and touched Si Ruiyan's shoulder, which made her grit her teeth and tremble again.

"I'm sorry." Seeing her frowning in pain, Si Ruiyan suddenly seemed to be pulled by something in her heart, and the feeling was indescribable.

But seeing Xiao Ning's pale and unadorned face, the color of his lips has turned pale.He didn't know what to say other than sorry.

"I know I'm sorry, but be gentle when taking the medicine." Xiao Ning said angrily, this person is really, taking medicine is like asking him to go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire.

Si Ruiyan remained silent, only gently helped her up, and untied a piece of veil that was wrapped around her shoulder.

The blood has completely soaked the veil, and there is still a bit of purple black in the light red.

"These people are really ruthless, and they even put poison on the tip of their swords." Si Ruiyan's eyes suddenly tightened, and his face was stern.

Those assassins didn't know that he was exceptionally skilled, and there was no need for them to use this kind of low-handed method when they were fighting more with less.

During the battle, those assassins all went to Xiao Ning's compartment, obviously their target was her.

The murderer behind the scenes was aiming at Xiao Ning's life.

Buying murder to kill people to such an extent, what kind of deep hatred is there?
"But it's okay, he just stabbed your skin, and didn't go deep into the muscles and bones, and the toxin is only on the skin. When you bleed, a lot of toxins have been excreted, as long as you go back and clear the remaining poison, you will be fine. "

Si Ruiyan tore open the torn rotator cuff a little, and sprinkled the medicine powder lightly.

A feeling of coolness gradually spread on the wound, and Xiao Ning instantly felt that a big stone had been removed from his shoulder.

There was a bang of thunder, and the rain became heavier.

After taking the medicine, Xiao Ning only felt that her eyelids were heavy, nestled in her warm bosom, this is undoubtedly a perfect place for her to sleep.

In a few breaths, she fell into a deep sleep.

Her face was like snow, and after being injured, she looked even more like a delicate pure white lotus.

With a slight sigh, Si Ruiyan had complicated emotions.

"Mom." A sleepy voice came, accompanied by a slight movement of the lips.

Si Ruiyan frowned at this weird word, and he turned his ear to hear it more clearly.

However, just as he lowered his head, a pair of warm and slender wristbands wrapped around his neck, and the warm breath passed by his ears lightly.

"Mom, I miss you so much." Xiao Ning murmured in a low voice, like a newborn kitten, crawling towards Si Ruiyan's neck bit by bit.

That place made her feel very warm.

who is mother

Si Ruiyan couldn't help but feel suspicious for a while. Hearing this double-character title, she seemed to be a woman.

Why did she call a woman's name in her dream?

Listening to the titles in overlapping characters, Si Ruiyan couldn't guess who the woman who was called was for a moment.

It's just that from his understanding, Xiao Ning didn't have many women around him since he was born.Apart from the wet nurse and the serving maid, the only women she knew were Xiao Wanying and others.

The person in his arms was getting closer and closer, and the fragile skin was tightly pressed against Si Ruiyan's chest, his lips were moving, and he was still whispering.

Boom... There was a loud noise, and the broken stones from the cave ceiling fell in bursts along with the dust.

Xiao Ning woke up from the dream, his eyes were still in a daze.

"Don't move!" Si Ruiyan raised his hand to protect Xiao Ning, and leaned forward to block all the falling gravel and dust.
