Gong Eryue had actually woken up at this time. She felt the residual warmth of Li Ran's palm on her cheek, and felt his hot tears dripping on the back of her hand. After listening to his words, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.
She didn't want Li Ran to worry too much, so she pretended to wake up and opened her eyes.
When Li Ran saw this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and called softly:
"Yue! Are you awake? How do you feel?"
Gong Eryue replied weakly:
"I...I'm fine, I just feel a little pain from the wound..."
Li Ran burst into tears and smiled:
"Okay! It's best if you can feel the pain! You rest first, I'll go out and tell you to make some medicine!"
Li Ran got up suddenly, but he stumbled and almost fell down. Gong Eryue couldn't help but smile when she saw it, but the wound was involved again, and she took a breath again because of the pain.
Li Ran walked out of the room and saw Sun Wu and Fan Yang waiting outside.
Sun Wu hurriedly came forward to greet him, while Li Ran first asked Fan Li to order his servants to cook the medicine quickly.
Then Li Rancai turned around and asked Sun Wu:
"Chang Qing, has Qi withdraw its troops?"
Sun Wu bowed and replied:
"After Yang Hu went to get a letter of truce expressing respect, Guo Xia chose to withdraw his troops..."
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but nod, and he was completely relieved:
"It's good to withdraw the troops, it's good to withdraw the troops! It's finally a worthwhile trip. Alas... I just let Miss Yue suffer! Fortunately, Miss Yue sacrificed her life to save me. If it hadn't been for her, I, Li Ran, would have been handed over for my life."
That’s it.”
Sun Wu asked extremely cautiously:
"Who actually did it? Sir, have you investigated clearly?"
Li Ran shook his head and said:
"These people claim to be 'avenging the First Lord'. I think they are probably secret followers! They are most likely the remnants of Ji Sun Yiru... When Zhongni is free, let him investigate again!"
Sun Wu glanced at the room where Gong Eryue was and couldn't help but hesitated:
"Sir, maybe what I'm saying now is really inappropriate. But... regarding Miss Yue's life experience, it's better to be careful, sir!"
Li Ran looked at Sun Wu with some surprise:
"She is saving her life this time. Chang Qing, you... are going too far!"
Sun Wu said:
"What Wu is worried about is not that she will harm her husband, nor does she doubt her sincerity in saving him. It's just that... the country of Yue has been active recently, and Miss Yue happened to be here, which makes people have to associate the two.
Get up. Wu believes that after all, you still need to be prepared!"
Li Ranqiang made a wry smile and sighed:
"Chang Qing... you and I are as close as brothers. As brothers, I know that Chang Qing, you are thoughtful and cautious in dealing with things. But as for Miss Yue's matter, as we have discussed before, the situation mentioned by Chang Qing can be said to be
It’s almost impossible! Chang Qing, it’s better not to be too presumptuous.”
Sun Wu hesitated to speak, and finally had to say:
"yes……"
Li Ran knew that Sun Wu was considering everything for him, and did not want to see him too embarrassed, so he patted Sun Wu on the shoulder again.
"Changqing's feelings are very clear to me, and I am very grateful to you. It has been twenty years...how can the relationship between brother and Changqing be matched by others?"
When Sun Wu heard this, he also smiled slightly and cupped his hands and said:
"Haha, sir, what you said is serious. Back then, sir did not belittle Sun Wu because of his status, but valued Sun Wu. This made Sun Wu famous today. Sun Wu is always grateful for your great kindness. Sun Wu can follow you and you will have no regrets in this life!"
Li Ran patted Sun Wu on the shoulder again and said to him:
"Well... Changqing has been tired these days, so please go down and have a good rest. I will be fine here!"
When Sun Wu heard this, he said goodbye and left. Li Ran immediately came to the courtyard where the medicine was boiled.
Seeing that Fan Li was busy with his servants at the moment, he asked Fan Li to quickly take care of Liguang, and he would do the work himself.
After a while, Li Ran returned to Gong Eryue with a bowl of soup and a few pieces of honey bait.
Li Ran fed Gong Eryue the medicine with a spoon. Gong Eryue took a sip and frowned:
"so bitter!"
When Li Ran saw that Gong Eryue's frown looked like that of Ji Le, he felt sour in his heart and forced a smile:
"Good medicine tastes bitter. If it tastes bitter... just eat the honey bait!"
Gong Eryue was seriously injured and couldn't eat anything. Now the medicine was really too bitter. When it was time to feed her the third mouthful, Gong Eryue couldn't bear it anymore and with a whoosh, she actually vomited all over Li Ran.
.
Li Ran couldn't help but feel confused for a moment!
It was as if he had gone back to the time when he fed Ji Le and drank medicine. At that time, because Ji Le was seriously ill, he often had bouts of nausea like now.
Seeing this, Gong Eryue felt guilty and wanted to get up and try to wipe Li Ran's face.
"Ah! Sir... Sir, don't blame me... I didn't mean it..."
Li Ran came to his senses, stood up, and said with a smile:
"Haha, it's okay, don't get up! I'll just clean up myself!"
After Li Ran cleaned up, he sat back next to Gong Eryue and said softly:
"If you really can't drink these medicines, you can just wait for the next meal and take it a little slower."
Gong Eryue nodded. Although her injury was serious, it was not fatal after all. After her injury stabilized, it was only a matter of time before she recovered. Therefore, it does not matter if the medicine is used sooner or later.
In the next few days, Li Ran himself didn't know why, but he couldn't help but visit Gong Eryue from time to time.
Gradually, Gong Eryue was able to walk, so Fan Li often came to greet her with Liguang. After all, Liguang had already regarded her as her second mother.
As for Gong Eryue, seeing the father and daughter accompanying her like this, she couldn't help but feel a little strange deep in her heart.
…
While Gong Eryue was recuperating from her injuries, Kong Qiu, as the Zhongdu Prime Minister, immediately launched an investigation into the attack on Li Ran.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was confirmed that these assassins were still in the Lu State, and several of them were quickly captured.
As Li Ranzhi expected, these people were actually the remnants of Ji Sun Yiru.
Just because the Ji family was suppressed by Yang Hu, many people had fled elsewhere. But these people continued to stay in the dark, looking for opportunities to assassinate Yang Hu.
However, Yang Hu has always lived in seclusion, and rarely has the opportunity to go out alone unless he leads the crowd. Therefore, they have no chance at all.
As a result, they turned all their resentment towards Li Ran.
These people were all the dead men trained by Ji Sun Yiru back then. Later, after being expelled by Yang Hu, these people's livelihood was no longer guaranteed, and they could only engage in various unprofitable activities.
It happened that a few days ago, they met Li Ran who was alone. Therefore, these people vented all their grievances against "Yang Hu" on Li Ran.
And if Gong Eryue hadn't fought tooth and nail there, and Chu Dang had been able to fight back in time, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable.
After his master returned to court, Yang Hu couldn't help but became furious when he learned the news.
The existence of these people can be said to be extremely dangerous to him. Therefore, he immediately issued an order to launch a nationwide manhunt, and it was necessary to catch all these people.
No matter how noisy outside, Li Ran's house was still as peaceful as before.
On this day, Gong Eryue got up and tried to walk slowly by herself. She happened to meet Chu Dan in the corridor. When Chu Dan saw Gong Eryue looking like this, he hurried to her side.
"Oh, Miss Yue, how can you walk here alone? What can you do if you fall? By the way... where is Mr.? Why isn't he with you?"
Gong Eryue smiled and said:
"It's not like I'm disabled and can't walk. Do I need to make such a fuss? I want to go out for a walk myself. Everything in the house these days is getting moldy!"
Chu Dang giggled.
"That's true. By the way, Miss Yue, it's all thanks to you this time!"
Gong Eryue shook her head and said:
"You idiot, you fell into someone else's trick so easily. Thanks to my great powers, otherwise my husband and I would have been dead! How can I have time to joke with you now?"
Chu Dang sighed:
"Yes, yes! But we all rely on Miss Yue! Hehe, by the way, Miss Yue, do you feel that... your husband treats you differently than before?"
Gong Eryue looked confused and said:
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"When sir saw you before, he would only look at you from afar, and then leave to take care of himself."
"However, these days, I have taken great care of the girl!"
When Gong Eryue heard these words, her face turned slightly red and she pursed her lips, but she did not speak to him again.
