Jia Shangjie pondered deeply, and it was hard to ask any further questions.
It's just that many doubts in his mind have not been resolved, and he feels that the whole thing is not as simple as it seems at the moment.
"That's all, let's wait until you recover more before talking about anything else. If you don't live well in this Linshan Courtyard, it's better to go to your adoptive father's Shangshu Mansion. There are more servants in the manor, so he can take better care of you."
Li Youlan waved her hand: "No need. Youlan is used to this place, and her heart can't calm down even if she moves to another place. Besides, it doesn't matter how many servants there are, as long as Xia Hui is here."
"Xia Hui Xia Hui... Youlan, you have mentioned this person again and again. What is this person capable of?"
"This..." Li Youlan was speechless, "He...he saved me. Youlan and him can be considered friends in times of need. Having him in Youlan makes me feel at ease."
"Although this person saved you this time, the whole thing is not as simple as he said. Youlan, you are not deeply involved in the world, and you don't know the dangers of people's hearts. Don't listen to others easily."
"My daughter knows that she has her own sense of proportion."
Jia Shangjie couldn't persuade him, so he sighed and shook his head.
He is also a person with a clear mind and clear eyesight. He can tell at a glance that Li Youlan is different from the past when he talks about the little book boy. This is not a good sign.
Now that he has returned safely and did not get much useful information from him, Jia Shangjie did not stay in Linshan Garden for a long time and asked his men to go elsewhere. He only left a letter to Changzhou to report to Li Yi's house in Changzhou.
Safety.
But Jia Shangjie did not withdraw the reinforcements from Linshan Garden. Jia Shangjie did not believe that the people who attacked the team were ordinary bandits.
It had only been three days since the news of the emperor's canonization of the crown prince came out, and so much trouble arose. I heard that both Li Xin and the prime minister had recalled their daughters to their homes, and they would not be able to go out for at least two months. I was afraid that something would happen at this time.
.Also Li Xiangyang’s son Li Boyuan also temporarily ended his life as a classical scholar.
The sons of several important people temporarily withdrew from the ceremony of Dianxue, and many others left. Including Li Youlan, half of the original nearly twenty classmates left in an instant, and Dianxue ceased to exist in name only.
This was Li Youlan's first experience of life and death. After everyone left, she felt terrified.
The sky tonight is no different from previous days, except that there are more stars.
Li Youlan tossed and turned on the bed, feeling uneasy.
Ping'er didn't dare to sleep. She would have nightmares whenever she went to sleep, so she got up and stayed by the young lady's side.
Seeing how impatient the young lady was, I was worried: "Miss, are you feeling unwell? Is the wound hurting again?"
"There is some pain."
"Then...then I and the lady will ask the doctor."
"No...no need, ask Xia Hui to come in."
"Ah? It's already been four days... He's a man, can he..."
"Have you forgotten? This is not the first time he has come in late at night. He knows medical skills, he understands."
"Oh." Ping'er responded tiredly, opened the door and went out.
At this time, Xia Shang was sleeping in a daze, and he could vaguely hear the discussions among his servants.
After all, the encounter between Xia Shang and Li Youlan was somewhat legendary, enough for people to talk about it for a while.
In the haze, I suddenly heard Ping'er calling softly from the window: "Xia Hui, Xia Hui..."
Soon, a servant pushed Xia Shang beside him: "Hey... Ping'er is looking for you."
"What?"
"Xia Hui, Miss is not feeling well. I asked you to come over and have a look."
Xia Shang was also very concerned about Li Youlan's safety. After hearing this, he immediately cheered up, quickly put on his clothes, and then went out.
The servants, half of whom were left awake, were amazed.
"Look, Xia Xiaosheng is invited here in the middle of the night. No one would believe it if he said there was nothing wrong."
"That is, if the young lady is not feeling well, she will ask him to see her without any hesitation. Isn't it true that there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place?"
"And that Xia Xiaosheng, when he heard that the young lady was not feeling well, his face looked so nervous, tsk tsk... there must be something going on."
"Hey, what's going on? No matter how good these two are, it's impossible for them to get together after all. I don't even think about it, what is Xia Hui's identity and who is the lady? Can they get together?"
"Yes! Have you ever heard that this young lady came to the capital to select concubines?"
"Shh... you don't want your life!"
…
At this time, at the door, Ping'er grabbed Xia Shang's hand and was about to leave, but stopped and looked around: "No one else knows, right?"
"what do you know?"
"I know the lady asked you to go to her boudoir in the middle of the night. If this spreads out, the lady's reputation will be lost."
Xia Shang pointed to the room behind him: "Most of the people are awake."
"Ah? Don't you all know? Why are they not sleeping so late at night?"
"Discussing my relationship with the lady."
"You toad wants to eat swan meat!"
"It wasn't me who said it, it was them who said it. I think your lady's reputation is hard to protect. What should I do?"
Ping'er's pretty face turned red and white: "No matter, Miss's health is important, please go over and take a look."
Speaking of Li Youlan's injury, Xia Shang lost his mind to joke and asked as he walked: "What's wrong with you, Miss?"
"It seems that the wound is a little painful."
"Isn't it because the wound is cracked? This is not good!"
Thinking about it, Xia Shang quickened his pace.
The two of them entered Li Youlan's boudoir quietly, and Ping'er went to light a lamp first.
When the lights were on, Li Youlan's sickly appearance appeared in front of Xia Shang's eyes little by little. The pink and jade-like skin had a hint of green and was not so beautiful. The body wrapped in the quilt was huddled up and looked pitiful.
Seeing Xia Shang coming, Li Youlan's distracted eyes brightened up, and she struggled to sit up.
"do not move!"
Xia Shang rushed up to hold her up, comforting her so that she wouldn't move: "What's wrong with her? Is the wound cracked? Let me take a look."
Li Youlan shook her head: "No."
"No, I have to confirm."
Xia Shang was very serious and pulled away the quilt. Only a thin layer of gauze revealed the delicate body under the quilt. The looming soft skin and the perfect curves that were not covered at all were clearly visible.
Li Youlan felt ashamed, and her face burned. Ping'er also covered her eyes, thinking that this matter was getting serious.
But Li Youlan was surprised to find that she was not too disgusted. She wanted to grab the quilt and cover herself up, but she couldn't find the strength, so she could only glance at Xia Shang secretly.
After this glance, the man did not show any sign of blasphemy. Instead, he looked seriously at the wound on his chest and carefully inspected the gauze wrapped in it.
When this man was focused, he was far more beautiful than when he looked like a flower. Li Youlan was fascinated by it.
"It's not serious." Xia Shang said seriously.
"Don't you really want to know why I came to Beijing? If you stay with me tonight, I will tell you." (To be continued)
