Chapter 431 How about it, my cooking skills are pretty good, right?
Shu Yuanqi lifted the quilt in the inner room and then the bed sheet, revealing Zhang Zhirou hiding inside.
Zhang Zhirou was covered tightly with another quilt. In order to avoid exposing any flaws, Shu Yuanqi specially placed his own quilt on top of her quilt, covering her with three layers inside and outside, so that Chu Ge would not notice anything unusual.
"Come out, everyone has left."
Zhang Zhirou was almost suffocated by the heavy blanket. When she heard the person leave, she pushed away the heavy blanket.
Shu Yuanqi looked at Zhang Zhirou who was sitting up and gasping for breath. Beads of sweat were running down her face, making her pretty face even more translucent and radiant, like a lotus just emerging from water, shiny and tender, and stunningly beautiful.
Zhang Zhirou rested for a long time before she felt better. When she turned around, she saw Shu Yuanqi's dazed eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
Her face flushed slightly, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
Shu Yuanqi collected his thoughts, quickly got out of bed, and dragged his injured leg to sit at the table next to him.
"I'm sorry, this happened suddenly, and this is the only solution I could think of. Please forgive me for any abruptness!"
It was the first time that Zhang Zhirou heard him speak so seriously, which was completely different from the fawning expression he had just shown towards Prince Jin.
"So, you really were pretending!"
Zhang Zhirou got out of bed and accidentally saw the wound on his leg. She was shocked and asked, "Did you get this wound when you carried me just now?"
She squatted in front of him, looking at the wound with a complicated feeling in her heart, "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble!"
It must be very painful to be injured like this?
Shu Yuanqi shook his head indifferently, without a trace of concern on his face. He didn't feel that he had done anything meritorious or good. He just calmly pulled his injured leg back.
The gauze was pulled off by Chu Ge, and the wounds on his body were now bloody and mangled, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Zhirou stood up and frantically ran around. Shu Yuanqi was stunned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm looking for a medicine box, or gauze!"
"Although I don't know any medical skills, I've been with Sister He for so many days, so I still know how to do simple bandaging!"
Shu Yuanqi's heart moved slightly, and he pointed to the cabinet beside the dressing table, "The medicine box is over there."
Zhang Zhirou followed his instructions and quickly found the medicine box. It was called a medicine box, but it was actually just a box containing some gauze and a few packets of herbs.
She took out the gauze and carefully and seriously re-bandaged his wound, fearing to hurt him.
Shu Yuanqi looked at her cautious and fearful expression, and unconsciously became mesmerized again.
"Your wound can't be treated like this. You still have to go to the Precious Medicine Pavilion tomorrow and let your sister help you treat it."
"Don't worry, this time, I will definitely speak up for you and won't scold you anymore!"
She was bandaging the wound while muttering to herself, like a little squirrel that never stops talking, which was both funny and cute.
After tying a beautiful bow, she showed some satisfaction on her face and looked at him with a smile, "How is my craftsmanship? Not bad, right?"
As soon as I looked up, I met Shu Yuanqi's fixed eyes.
"You, what are you looking at?"
Shu Yuanqi's eyes became weak and he looked away in a panic.
There was a moment of awkwardness in the air, and both of them looked in opposite directions tacitly, afraid that their eyes would accidentally meet again.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhirou felt a little uncomfortable and stood up, "I, I should go..."
"Something happened at the Precious Medicine Pavilion, did you know?"
He suddenly spoke, causing her heart to skip a beat. "Something happened at the Precious Medicine Pavilion? What happened?"
……
Zhang Zhirou's face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were full of tears. "You said, Alai is dead?"
"How is that possible? She was fine when I left last night. Did you hear it wrong?"
Shu Yuanqi knew that it would be difficult for her to accept it at the moment, so he did not refute it.
"With Sister He here, nothing will happen to Alai!"
"Shu Yuanqi, tell me, you heard it wrong, you saw it wrong, Alai is not dead!"
"He, he might be injured, or like me, missing..."
She shook his arm vigorously, but couldn't get the response she wanted.
Shu Yuanqi looked at her, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes, but he still spoke, "When Zheng Ziying went to the Zhenyao Pavilion to cause trouble, Liu Ruxin was not there. When she came back, the medicine boy was gone."
"To avenge the medicine boy, she beheaded Zheng Ziying in the street in front of the imperial guards."
"Now, she has also been arrested and imprisoned in the Dali Temple."
Shu Yuanqi had a look of helplessness and incomprehension on his face. He couldn't understand why Liu Ruxin would sacrifice himself for a medicine boy!
Doesn’t she know that Zheng Ziying is the third son of the Duke’s Mansion?
Committing such a serious crime for a medicine boy is simply brainless!
I thought she had become smarter in recent years, but unexpectedly, she is no different from five years ago!
When Zhang Zhirou heard that Shu He was arrested, she could no longer sit still and stood up to leave.
Shu Yuanqi stopped her, "You can't leave now!"
Looking at the arm blocking her way, Zhang Zhirou was furious. "Get out of the way! I have to go save Sister He!"
"There are only people outside who are under the command of the King of Jin. If you go out, you will definitely be caught! Not only will you not be able to save anyone, but you will also only cause trouble."
"So should I just sit here?" Alai was dead, Shu He was arrested, how could she still sit still?!
Shu Yuanqi pulled her to sit down and advised, "Don't get excited! Listen to me!"
His calm and peaceful face showed confidence and composure, which calmed her restless heart a little.
"I just heard the conversation between Zheng Zihe and the King of Jin. They must be trying to capture you to threaten Liu Ruxin. So, at this moment, you must not act impulsively!"
"If you hadn't shown up, they wouldn't have had any cards in their hands, and maybe they could have saved her life!"
Zhang Zhirou looked at him, she was at a loss at this time. She didn't dare to believe what he said, but she had no choice but to believe it.
She couldn't help crying and clutched his arm tightly, "Really? Will my sister really be okay?"
Shu Yuanqi's eyes darkened slightly and he looked away from her face.
"Don't worry, she should be fine. At worst, don't we still have Baili Moqing?"
The last time he identified Liu Ruxin's identity in front of the Precious Medicine Pavilion, he actually realized that Baili Moqing had different feelings and attitudes towards that "Liu Ruxin".
He believed that Baili Moqing would never sit idly by if Liu Ruxin was imprisoned!
"Baili Moqing! Oh right! I have something important to tell him!"
Zhang Zhirou wiped her tears, as if she had thought of something important. "I still have to go. They want to harm Baili Moqing and Jiang Dongping. I have to go and warn them!"
