Chapter 549 The last trace of hesitation disappeared
When he learned that the heroine blocked Xiao Yinhan's arrow and was injured and fell into coma, Jiang Tang was surprised and then happy:
"Wow, the heroine has learned that 'if you want something, you have to work hard to get it', so is it still far away from the hero and heroine to reunite and get back together?"
The system remained silent and did not speak.
It is because of the host's attitude all the time that it is impossible for her to judge how she feels about the male protagonist and whether she has really been attracted to him.
She is really, too indifferent.
-
Xiao Yichen hurried over as soon as he got the news. Since Bai Muzhi arrived, he came as often as he went to work.
When he came to the familiar courtyard, he saw a row of tall and serious guards at the door surrounding the courtyard with knives. Such a posture made his heart skip a beat.
"How is the situation? Is Miss Bai's injury serious?"
As soon as Xiao Yichen walked into the room, he saw a familiar and tall figure standing there. He stopped suddenly: "Fourth brother!"
Xiao Yinhan turned around, his chest was stained with blood, and Xiao Yichen's pupils shrank: "Are you injured?"
Xiao Yinhan shook his head: "It's not me."
The guard on the side hurriedly stepped forward and explained the situation. After hearing this, Xiao Yichen's expression became a little strange.
He just wanted to say, with Fourth Brother here, how could she get hurt? It turned out to be...
"What did the doctor say? Her injuries..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Miss Bai hurt her shoulder, not the vital part. The doctor is applying medicine and bandaging to her."
These words did not appease him, but after learning that his life was not in danger, the nervousness he felt along the way finally eased a little.
But……
"Fourth brother, now that you have seen it with your own eyes and experienced it yourself, you should know that Miss Bai treats you..."
Before Xiao Yichen could say the words "deep love and profound justice", he was coldly interrupted by the man in front of him:
"Bai Muzhi has done a great job in protecting you, and I will never be short of grateful to you."
This simple sentence made Xiao Yichen confused, and his expression showed a bit of confusion.
Why does he think that Fourth Brother's words are deliberately to avoid suspicion?
But he quickly shook his head, no, considering the relationship between the fourth brother and her, and she was still lying on the bed, there was no way he should have said such callous words.
"Fourth brother, are you kidding?" Xiao Yichen's face turned a little pale and he reminded him pointedly: "Miss Bai is definitely not someone who cares about gratitude."
Xiao Yinhan knew that what he said was true.
In fact, when he saw Bai Muzhi rushing to save him, his heart was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.
Even if he saw her hit by an arrow and falling down, he would not be affected at all. Looking at her was no different from looking at an ordinary guard who was rescuing a driver.
He has no sense of "friendship" or "gratitude" at all.
Even while waiting for the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he tried to recall his "past" with her, but found that it was like looking at flowers in the fog, all emotions were gone, and he was indifferent and seemed to be reading other people's stories.
After a while, the imperial doctor came out of the room.
Xiao Yichen's gun went up first: "Doctor Gao, how is Miss Bai's injury?"
When Xiao Yinhan heard the imperial doctor say, "It's nothing serious, just take good care of your injuries," Xiao Yinhan turned around and prepared his strength.
Xiao Yichen was just about to talk to him and was discussing whether he could stay. When he turned around and saw the man leaving, he was startled: "Fourth brother, where are you going?"
After receiving the man's cold and sharp eyes, he changed his words: "I mean, Miss Bai hasn't woken up yet, why don't you wait?"
Xiao Yinhan looked back: "I am not a doctor."
The implication is: If he is not a doctor, there is no use staying here.
Considering his status, these words are indeed blameless, but considering their relationship, these words are too cold-blooded.
Looking at the man's cold face that didn't look fake, even he himself didn't know what to say.
Begging him to stay?
But Fourth Brother has never been the kind of person who is "begged"; but let him leave like this? That person will definitely be sad when he wakes up...
Fortunately, Xiao Yichen didn't hesitate for too long. The nervous voice of the maidservant came from the room: "Wake up, miss."
Then, a little girl in pink clothes ran out of the inner room. When she saw His Highness Prince Rong still standing in the room, the little girl's eyes lit up:
"Master, Miss Bai is awake and has been calling your name..."
One sentence made the person's blood boil. Xiao Yichen said without hesitation: "Fourth brother, go in and take a look. She was injured because of you!"
This sentence made everyone in the room who had nothing to do with him couldn't help but look at this man.
Yes, she is just a weak woman who is a guest, but she got injured trying to save you. Now she has passed out and keeps calling your name. Are you embarrassed not to see her?
Xiao Yichen met the man's cold and dark gaze with neither humility nor arrogance. In addition to worry and nervousness, there was also a faint rising anger in his heart.
Miss Bai has done this for you, how can you be so cold-blooded?
He was even prepared. If he really wanted to leave, he wouldn't mind having a fight with him!
But before Xiao Yichen could use this "method", the man had already walked in.
He felt relieved and followed.
The others naturally stayed outside and waited, but there was a hint of ambiguity in the glances they looked at each other:
Miss Bai actually blocked the arrow for the prince. What will the prince do?
Could it be that there is another lady in the palace?
-
Xiao Yinhan, who had already entered the inner room, naturally didn't know what his subordinates were thinking. As soon as he entered, he heard a thin voice.
It really seemed like... calling his name.
He was not very happy, his face even turned colder, and he walked to the woman's window in a few steps.
"Xiao Yin, Han..."
Bai Muzhi opened her eyes, and her fair face turned frighteningly pale after being injured.
She strained to keep her eyes open until she could slowly see the person standing in front of the bed clearly. The corners of her dry and peeling mouth unconsciously formed a slight smile, and her voice was hoarse and weak: "You're here..."
Xiao Yichen came in one step behind and happened to hear these words. His forward steps stopped subconsciously. He looked at the back of the figure standing in front of the bed, pursed his lips slightly, and did not move forward.
He knew very well that the person the man wanted to see at this moment was not him.
"Well," Xiao Yinhan said, "Thank you for saving me today." Although it was not necessary at all.
"You're so good……"
"Do you remember what you said?"
Bai Muzhi's eyes were completely clear, and she couldn't bear to look away from the man's face. The ends of her eyes were slightly red: "Do you remember?"
Xiao Yinhan frowned. He had said so many things, but he didn't know what she was talking about.
So, only silence remained.
"You said you would protect me."
She looked at him and spoke word by word, and there seemed to be a twinkle in her eyes.
This sentence instantly made the man with a very good memory think of it——
About when he was eleven and she was nine, he lost her again after they had a fight.
When he found her again, she was injured and fell under a tree, crying and crying until his head hurt.
He tried to coax her slightly, but also because of guilt, he apologized to her: "It's my fault this time, I shouldn't have left you. The worst, the worst, I will protect you from now on..."
Thinking of this, the man's originally cold eyes seemed to soften a little, and he was not so harsh when he looked at her again:
"Remember."
A somewhat tender "remember" made Bai Muzhi's originally cold heart feel warm again as if it were wrapped in warm water.
Her eyes seemed to light up a bit, and she couldn't help but reach out to him: "Then you..."
"It's just a childhood joke, why take it seriously?"
He smiled and ruthlessly tore apart the gentle illusion at this moment: "I already have someone to protect. You have forgotten these words."
Bai Muzhi's smile froze on her face, and at that moment, something seemed to break.
Xiao Yinhan's answer was unexpected by no one. Even Xiao Yichen, who was following behind him and was nervous, was stunned.
Until the man turned around and left, passing him by: "Since you care about her so much, please stay and take care of her these few days."
After saying that, he left without giving his brother time to react, without any regrets.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the moment he went out, he seemed to remember a subtle and suppressed cry behind him...
"He really... said that?"
After listening to the system's narration, even Jiang Tang was a little confused.
But it was only for a moment that she curled up her lips: "According to a normal romance plot, the heroine at this moment should be heartbroken and very sad, and the hero also regretted it after saying it. Unfortunately, the heroine's heart is already dead.
And then leave without any regret. When the heroine leaves, the hero will wake up and realize what he loves most about the heroine, and then start to work hard to save her and embark on the road of pursuing his wife in the crematorium..."
System: [Well... the host said it well, don't say it next time. ]
Looking at the hero's heartbeat without any fluctuation at that time, it was really hard to believe that he would "suddenly wake up".
At this moment, Xiao Yinhan, who had already walked out of the courtyard, looked up at the gloomy sky, and the last hesitation in his heart disappeared at this moment.
"gone back."
Leaving these words behind, he walked away without any hesitation, heading towards where he should go.
He will never regret the decision he made in the past, and he will never regret the decision this time.
-
When Xiao Yinhan returned to the main courtyard, he found that Tangtang did not take a nap today, but was sitting in front of the window reading a book.
Hearing the voice, she slowly raised her head. When she saw the familiar person, a sweet and gentle smile appeared on her face: "Your Majesty, come back~"
The words "Come back" made Xiao Yinhan's originally gloomy heart suddenly relax.
He smiled and walked towards her: "Well, what are you doing?"
"My lord, are you injured?"
It wasn't until the girl's surprised voice sounded that he realized belatedly that the bloody clothes on his body seemed to have not been replaced.
He was stunned for a moment, then responded quickly: "It's not my blood!"
Jiang Tang:……
-
Jiang Tang discovered that Xiao Yinhan was really ruthless if he was cold to someone.
Xiao Yichen sent servants several times to invite him, saying that Bai Muzhi's mood swings were too high and she kept crying in a coma. She hoped that he could go over and see her.
They were all rejected by him.
What he said was also ruthless, "Am I a doctor? I don't know how to treat patients."
Then they sent people to the city to find many doctors, saying that if the imperial doctors were not enough, then they would try the private doctors, and there would always be one who could be used.
If you do this, it will be hard to criticize anyone.
Jiang Tang thought about helping to "advise", but before she could say anything, Xiao Yinhan went out to the county government office. These assassins were all dead soldiers. After being captured, none of them survived, and they died miserably.
, all died from bleeding from the seven orifices.
Jiang Tang knew someone very well, and the anger he showed was real, but rather than the heroine being hurt, he seemed to be angry about something else.
But when she tried to ask, he ignored her.
Apart from hugging her and saying, "No one will hurt you as long as I'm here," he refused to mention the rest.
Even the system discovered that the male protagonist was aroused and secretly told her:
[The male protagonist issued a death order to the county magistrate and must find out where these people came from. The assassination of the assassin had a great impact on him. 】
What it didn't finish was that this incident reminded the male protagonist of those bad experiences at the summer resort, so it was clear that the injured person was the female protagonist, but the host was surrounded by more guards.
Apart from going out, he spent more time with her.
It can be said that the final result of this bitter plot between the heroine and the concubine really made Xiao Yinhan become more interested in Jiang Tang.
I don’t know if the heroine’s destruction of the character of “The Holy Mother” caused backlash, but what was originally an ordinary arrow wound caused her to develop a high fever.
The words Xiao Yichen exaggerated the extent of his injuries in order to urge Xiao Yinhan to go over and visit them all came true invisibly:
"The wound is inflamed and the fever continues"
"Spasticity, gibbering, and excruciating pain. If the fever does not go down, I may burn into a fool."
"My body is getting weaker every day, and I haven't had a drop of water for three days..."
When the housekeeper came to report, Jiang Tang even had the illusion that "licking the dog is not cursing his precious heroine."
[It’s not because of the male protagonist. The heroine is supposed to “try hard to show her kindness” to the hero, but fails. The original fluctuation of consciousness is reflected in the reaction of the heroine. 】
To put it simply, the heroine is the last trump card of the original consciousness, and her failure once again made the original consciousness panic.
The other side of "punishing the heroine" is actually to try to save the main plot through the heroine's illness, causing the hero to feel guilty and distressed.
"That is to say, 'it' really wants Xiao Yinhan to visit the heroine, right?" Jiang Tang thought thoughtfully.
【yes.】
The system didn't say any more unnecessary words. Based on its understanding of the host, I'm afraid she might... deliberately lure the male protagonist there.
Thinking of this, the system felt like sighing without any words.
However, something unexpected happened. This time, Jiang Tang did not push Xiao Yinhan away, nor did he take the initiative to mention Bai Muzhi in front of him.
She is always like this and will go along with the flow, but will not take the initiative to create opportunities for others.
As a result, the man who had been nervous all the time quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you don't push me towards other women, then you can do whatever you want.
