Chapter 396
Tao Yao stood on the spot in a daze, while Rong Niang, who was madly clamoring to kill Lu Zhen a moment ago, had already collapsed limply.

Seeing her twitching in a pool of blood, Tao Yao's face turned pale, and she couldn't react.

"puff!"

At this time, there was another sound of a sharp knife piercing the flesh.

She came back to her senses, turned her head, and saw the man in black who had injured Xi'er in the room in front of him, who had come out at some time, holding a knife in his hand, it seemed that he was trying to kill her , but was pierced through the chest by a sharp sword.

The man in black fell straight down.

Then she saw Lu Jiuyuan throwing the sword in his hand and walking towards her quickly.

Tao Yao was overjoyed, but when she thought of something, her expression faded again.

Lu Jiuyuan had already pulled her into his arms, and raised his sleeve to wipe off the blood splattered on her face, "I'm sorry to surprise you."

His voice was hoarse and apologetic.

At this moment, what else does she not understand?
She closed her eyes and said nothing.

"Duke Lu, since the traitor has been put to death, I will go back and return to my command first."

On the side, Duan Feng and several general-looking men cupped their hands at Lu Jiuyuan.

Lu Jiuyuan nodded slightly, "I'm sorry for today's matter, everyone."

"A matter of duty." Duan Feng and several other generals said.

"Rong Niang has passed away." At this time, a soldier reported.

Duan Feng walked over, checked her breath, and found that she was indeed out of breath, so he waved his hand, "Take her back."

"Yes."

When they left, they took Rong Niang and the body of the man in black with them.

Tao Yao froze for a moment, thought of something, stuffed her son into Lu Jiuyuan's arms, and ran into the house quickly.

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at the son in his arms.

Seeing that he was not frightened at all after what happened just now, and he didn't cry, he couldn't help being a little relieved.

But thinking of Tao Yao's reaction, he was going to have a headache.

After Tao Yao ran into the house, seeing Xi'er sat on a chair supported by Mo Die, she felt a little relieved.

"Mo Die, hurry up and call for the doctor." She hurried over and ordered.

"Yes." Mo Die answered and was about to go out.

Tao Yao thought of something, and suddenly grabbed her hand, "You already knew about today's plan?"

Mo Die hesitated for a while, then nodded, "En."

Tao Yao paused, "Understood, you can go."

Mo Die was a little guilty, but said nothing, and walked out quickly.

Tao Yao sat down beside Xi'er.

Looking at the clothes on her shoulders, all soaked in blood, I felt very sad.

She took out the veil and briefly bandaged her to stop the bleeding.

Xi'er's face was pale, and she leaned weakly on the chair.

Not only was she stabbed, but in order to save Tao Yao, she also threw down the man in black with all her strength, and was kicked several times by the man in black. At this moment, her body hurt everywhere.

The more Tao Yao thought about it, the more sad she became.

Only she and Xi'er were kept in the dark.

And this girl, in order to save her, even risked her life.

Thinking of this, her eyes are moist.

Seeing her crying, Xi'er quickly comforted her: "Miss... this servant is fine, I won't die, don't worry..."

Tao Yao saw that her little face was contorted from the pain, and she wanted to comfort herself, so she couldn't help feeling guilty and ashamed.

Lu Jiuyuan planned to sacrifice Xi'er by setting up this game today...

How could he do that?
Why is his heart so cruel?
"Miss...are you in pain?" Seeing that she was crying, Xi'er raised her hand with difficulty and touched her swollen left cheek.

Tao Yao was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that she was slapped by the man in black.

Now, after Xi'er mentioned it, she felt the burning pain.

But compared to Xi'er's injuries, this is really nothing.

"It's okay, I don't hurt." She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, seeing that Xi'er was not sitting very comfortably, she helped her to lie down on a soft couch beside her.

"Xi'er, hold on tighter, the doctor will be here soon."

"Miss, the servant is fine, don't worry...the servant wants to sleep for a while..." Xi'er's voice was extremely weak.

Tao Yao was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Xi'er, hold on, don't sleep, sleep after seeing the doctor."

Xi'er had no choice but to open her eyes wide, forcing herself not to sleep.

But she was really tired and wanted to sleep.

Tao Yao was in a hurry, and her mind was full of scenes from TV dramas she had seen in modern times.

In TV dramas, you usually have to sleep when you are injured, but you can't wake up in the end.

Thinking of this, she held Xi'er's hand tightly and kept talking to her to distract her.

Fortunately, the doctor was quickly invited.

After seeing it, the doctor applied medicine to bandage Xi'er again, and prescribed external application and internal medicine.

Tao Yao stood aside, listening very carefully, and then asked about precautions and things to avoid.

The doctor also said one by one.

Xi'er was drowsy, and asked aloud: "Miss... slave girl... can you sleep?"

Tao Yao has been tense since just now. Hearing this, she looked at the doctor as if facing an enemy, "Is there nothing wrong with her?"

The doctor said kindly: "Madam, don't worry. Although this girl's injuries are serious, they are not life-threatening. She is now weak and wants to sleep. It is normal. Let her rest well."

Only then did Tao Yao feel relieved, she turned her head and said softly to Xi'er, "Then go to sleep."

Xi'er fell asleep in peace.

After seeing off the doctor, Tao Yao was about to cook the medicine herself, at this moment, Hei Die came over and said, "Madam, the son is crying, the Duke please go over."

"Cry if you cry, let him handle it by himself." Tao Yao said coldly.

Mo Die lowered her head, and said with some embarrassment: "My son, my son is hungry, this trip... I didn't bring a wet nurse."

Tao Yao became a little annoyed.

She hated Lu Jiuyuan for hiding it from her, and even included her in the plan, but her son was innocent.

Son, she, and Xi'er, the three of them were kept in the dark and didn't know about it.

Thinking of this, she gave the medicine to Mo Die, "You fry it."

"Yes." Mo Die quickly took the medicine bag, and heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as Madam is not angry, she can do anything.

Tao Yao went to the side room angrily.

In the side room, little Lu Zhen was indeed crying.

When she went in, Lu Jiuyuan was hugging his son and coaxing him.

"Don't cry, your mother will be back soon..."

Tao Yao paused, walked over, and said in a firm tone, "Give me your son."

Lu Jiuyuan didn't dare to neglect, and immediately handed over his son.

Tao Yao took it, then gave him a cold look, "Go out."

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and finally went out.

As soon as he left, Tao Yao hugged her son, sat down beside the bed, opened her clothes, and fed him.

After little Lu Zhen had eaten and drank enough, he fell asleep again.

Looking at his innocent sleeping face, Tao Yao secretly sighed.

The child really doesn't need to know anything, as long as he is full, he has no idea that not long ago, he and his mother were in danger and almost died.
