Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 37

Yan Zhaohua sat in front of the dressing table and looked at the wound on his jaw. It wasn't very big, but it was a bit deep. He could see it when he looked up. It was about the size of a fingernail. No scabs.But thinking about yesterday's thrilling adventure, this little injury is considered fatal to her.Yan Zhaohua still has lingering fears in his heart. If she had been strong yesterday, she might have been stabbed to death by that sword. What happened yesterday was the scariest scene she had ever encountered in her previous life. I forgot all the hatred, and only thought about how to survive.

It's strange to say, how did I really stupefied those people with my inexplicable words yesterday?If they didn't listen to her nonsense, maybe she and Yan Xiu had already been carried back home with their bodies, so how could they have waited until Wei Wuhou to search and rescue them?
Dyexiang and Qingzhu wiped away tears while combing her hair: "How can you just relax and encounter such a thing? The young lady is still a girl, if something really happens, what should I do!"

Ranxiang is more emotional, as long as she thinks of the embarrassment of Miss and Lord Hou when they came back last night, Ranxiang will feel his legs go weak and tremble uncontrollably.Although Qingzhu is rational, she is also deeply touched:
"This time, I'm about to thank Wei Wuhou. If he hadn't saved Miss and Lord Hou, I don't know what would have happened."

Qingzhu's words made Yan Zhaohua look away from his raised chin, nodded and said, "Yes, I really want to thank him if I have the opportunity."

If Tan Cheng hadn't arrived in time, based on how much blood her father had shed, even if the assassins didn't come back, her father probably wouldn't be able to survive the night in the woods. As far as Xiu died, even if she didn't die and was rescued in the end, But Mingjie must be ruined, which is almost the same as death, and it would be better to die.

While talking, a voice came from the yard: "Miss, Lord Hou woke up and said he wants to see you."

It was the guard in Yanxiu's study who came to deliver the message, and he rarely set foot in the backyard. Yan Zhaohua had just finished washing up, and went out after listening to his words, and asked him, "How is my father?"

The man replied: "Master Hou has already woken up, the bleeding has stopped long ago, and now the doctor has bandaged it up, but Master Hou is worried about Miss, and needs to see her before she can rest assured."

Yan Xiu's injury was a traumatic injury, as long as the bleeding stopped, it would be fine, just take a good rest, Yan Zhaohua didn't delay, and followed the guard to Yan Xiu's courtyard, Yan Xiu usually didn't live in the main courtyard, let alone Most of the time, he sleeps in his own study. His study is very big, bigger than an ordinary yard, with several rooms connected to each other. Yan Zhaohua has been here several times, but it is not as legitimate as this time.

The guard took her outside the dormitory, and after a message, invited her in. Yanxiu's dormitory is very simple, with only some necessities for daily life, and not many other decorations, not even a screen in front of the bed. Yan Zhaohua went in and turned a corner, and saw Yan Xiu leaning on the bed with a pale face, a doctor beside him was still prescribing prescriptions, and the mighty Hou Tan Cheng was also there.

Seeing a foreigner, Yan Zhaohua hurriedly bowed his head to pay his respects, and heard Yan Xiu say, "This is Uncle Tan, kowtow three times, thank you for saving your life."

Yan Xiu's words made Yan Zhaohua not dare to be negligent. He knelt down in front of Tan Cheng in a proper manner, kowtowed three times, and said honestly, "Thank you, Uncle Tan, for saving your life." Zhaohua himself was very grateful to Tan Cheng, so the three kowtowed sincerely.

"Get up quickly, my niece doesn't need to be polite."

Tan Cheng is a hearty general who doesn't have so many rules, which makes Yan Zhaohua cheer up.Yan Zhaohua walked to Yan Xiu's bed, and asked Yan Xiu, "How does father feel?"

Yan Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, the bleeding has stopped. Tell your Uncle Tan about what happened after I passed out yesterday, what they said, everything is in detail Tell them all. Those people come and go from the capital, and your Uncle Tan is in charge of the five cities, if there are any clues, he will definitely be able to find out the cause and effect."

Yan Zhaohua was about to repeat what he said to Yan Xiu yesterday, when he heard Xie's voice outside the door, saying:
"The prince is too polite, Lord Hou is fine."

Mrs. Xie actually brought a handsome young man directly into the door. The young man was tall and straight, with picturesque eyebrows, his whole body was different from other people's elegance, he was wearing a blue brocade and black patterned cloud sleeves, and he could be seen without any accessories. Fanghua, with a pale but handsome face, and a pair of eyes full of wisdom.

"Father and Lord Hou made an appointment to meet in the cabinet this morning, but unexpectedly heard that Lord Hou was attacked, he was very worried, so he asked me to come and visit."

The sudden arrival of Prince Gong's son Pei Xuan surprised both Yan Xiu and Tan Cheng. Tan Cheng went up to meet him in person and greeted Pei Xuan, "Is your son coming to visit Yan?"

Pei Xuan returned the salute with a soft and elegant voice, and said slowly: "First come to visit, and second to ask about the situation, the important place of the capital, the first rank of the imperial court was attacked in the suburbs of Beijing, such a major event, even the emperor is very angry, ordered me Come to inquire about it, if you have any clues, you can directly hand it over to the cabinet, and the Military Aircraft Department will handle it."

Tan Cheng turned his head and glanced at Yan Xiu who was sitting beside the bed supported by Yan Zhaohua. When Mrs. Xie saw Yan Zhaohua, her eyes were startled. She only left for a moment, why did Yan Zhaohua come?But calmly, he walked to the bed, took over Yan Zhaohua's movements, and helped Yan Xiu to sit up.

Tan Cheng walked up to Yan Zhaohua and said, "Don't be afraid, my niece. This is Prince Gong's son. He will greet you on behalf of the cabinet, and tell you everything you saw and heard last night. Don't worry about it." If there are omissions, even if it’s something you find strange, you can say it all.”

Yan Zhaohua looked at Tan Cheng, then at Pei Xuan, who had lightning eyes, Yan Zhaohua's heart tightened for no reason, and he heard Pei Xuan say: "Miss, don't be afraid, just speak out. "

In Yan Zhaohua's mind, he inexplicably remembered the words of the leader in black who held her hostage last night. If he said nonsense, he would find her boudoir and kill her!Yan Zhaohua took a deep breath, and coherently told the people present what happened last night. What he said was similar to what he said to Yan Xiu last night. She didn't mention Jin Yiwei or Jin Yiwei, because she felt that these people might have already made a judgment in their hearts, but they just wanted to confirm it again through her mouth. At this time, no matter what she said, they would not be right. The incident played a key role. After all, no one would deduce the case from the words of a frightened boudoir girl. Asking her was just a formality.

After Yan Zhaohua finished speaking, both Tan Cheng and Yan Xiu fell into deep thought, but Pei Xuan stared at Yan Zhaohua with interest, without the reserve that a foreigner should have at all, Yan Zhaohua glared at him secretly, Pei Xuan's black eyes moved, and then obediently looked away.

The matter was indeed as Yan Zhaohua said, asking her was just a formality, after the questioning, Yan Xiu asked Yan Zhaohua to go back and rest.

Yan Zhaohua bowed to everyone and resigned, slandering all these troublesome people in his heart, but he didn't show any emotion on his face, and walked out harmoniously and generously.

When he came, he was led, but when he went back, he didn't have this honor. Yan Zhaohua walked alone in the garden of Qingqueju, but after walking two steps, someone stopped him and said:

"Miss Yan stay behind."

Yan Zhaohua looked back, and it turned out to be Pei Xuan who was smiling. He looked around subconsciously. There were not many waiters in Yan Xiu's yard, and this garden was no exception. Pei Xuan saw this girl looking around from a distance. It's even more fun in my heart. This girl's behavior seems to be different from others forever. If the girl next to her is called out by a man in private, her first reaction is to blush and be embarrassed, but she is amazingly calm, not only Not cramped, but more worried about being seen.

"My lord... is there anything else you want to ask?"

Yan Zhaohua would not be crazy to think that someone like Pei Xuan would come to talk to her on purpose, it must be because of Yan Xiu's attack, so he asked this question.

Pei Xuan curled his lips into a smile, with a natural charm, Yan Zhaohua slandered in his stomach, he didn't know how Prince Gong and Princess Gong were born, but they gave birth to such a monstrous son, even men and women couldn't control it, if her She is really a 12-year-old girl inside, and maybe from now on, she will have to regard this eldest son who talks to her in private as the person in her dream.

But Pei Xuan didn't know what Yan Zhaohua was thinking at the moment, so he pursed his lips and said:

"I don't have anything special to ask. I just feel that the eldest lady is different from ordinary girls. She doesn't panic. I knew the situation last night was difficult and dangerous from the lady's description. But the girl is not only fearless, but she can calmly wait until the reinforcements arrive. Even Tan Hou couldn't help but praise the girl, saying that when he found you, you were stopping Yan Hou's bleeding, you are really a hero among women, and Pei Xuan admires such women the most."

"..."

What Pei Xuan said made Yan Zhaohua's whole body get goosebumps. This plausible praise, in Yan Zhaohua's ears, not only did not make him feel happy physically and mentally, but also had a sense of shame. What do you mean?To praise her, or to hurt her in disguise?But no matter what, Yan Zhaohua felt that Pei Xuan was unreliable, and he didn't know how to behave in other people's gardens.

"A lot, thank you for your praise. If there is nothing else, I will leave." Yan Zhaohua didn't know what Pei Xuan wanted to do, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he wanted to leave.

But when he turned around, he heard Pei Xuan say again:
"Miss looks flustered and seems to be hiding something."

Yan Zhaohua stopped abruptly, not daring to turn his head to look at Pei Xuan. When he was struggling, he heard a male voice next to his ear: "I'm just joking, miss, don't take it to heart."

Yan Zhaohua only felt numbness in the base of his ears, but his heart didn't feel tight. He covered his ears and stood still. In front of her, he clasped his fists at her, then wrapped his cloak and left happily.

Yan Zhaohua looked at his leaving back, his cheeks were hot, not because of shyness, but because of anger, this Pei Xuan is too...too arrogant!But listening to what he said, could it be possible that he really knew something?
