Chapter 199: Not Enough Food
Chapter 199: Not Enough Food
"Solved." Chu Xi answered quickly.
"It seems to take longer this time. Are there a lot of assassins?" Rong Qingzhu didn't go out to see, not because he was afraid of death, but because he didn't want to cause them trouble.
"It's okay, about twenty people." Chu Xi stared at the three wounds on his arm for a moment, two of which were deeper and one was shallower.
The wounds were deep and were still bleeding, while the blood had already coagulated on the shallow wounds. However, due to being caught in the rain, the wounds were stuck to the clothes.
Zhou Yichen walked around to Chu Xi's right side and sat down. He did not sit on Chu Xi's bed, but sat down on the spot.
He was wet and covered in blood. He sat on Qi Bai's bed. He was worried that he would dirty the bed where Qi Bai slept.
"Do you feel any other sensations from your wound?"
"How does it feel?" Chu Xi sat down habitually, forgetting that her clothes were still wet and even the ends of her hair were dripping with water. "Does it hurt?"
Rong Qingzhu, "......"
Qi Bai sometimes speaks very directly.
Zhou Yichen shook his head helplessly and amusedly, "That's not what I want to ask. I want to ask if your wound is numb, sore, or if your head feels dizzy. I'm afraid the sword is smeared with poison."
Chu Xi heard this and lowered his eyes to look at his wound carefully. The blood was still the normal bright red color, and there was a slight feeling of sourness... and numbness.
But she felt that this should fall within the normal range and should not be considered a toxic situation.
"No, at least I don't feel anything unusual for now."
"Your Highness, the doctor is here." The guard outside reported.
"Come in." Zhou Yichen said immediately without releasing his hold on Chu Xi's arm.
The doctor who came in was the one who accompanied Zhou Yichen. He was Zhou Yichen's personal physician and one of the people he could "trust".
The court doctor is a special and important person. They will be responsible for Zhou Yichen's life safety. At the same time... once they betray, they will be the most likely to threaten Zhou Yichen's body.
The doctor squatted down and respectfully checked Chu Xi's injuries...
"Although the wound is quite deep, fortunately the bone is not injured. As long as the wound is treated well, the dressing is changed on time every day, and no violence or tearing of the wound is done before the wound is healed, nothing will happen."
Chu Xi lowered her eyes. Whether to use force or not was not something she could control. After all, there were too many people outside who were eyeing her covetously. Even if she didn't want to take action, someone would force her to do so.
Zhou Yichen and Rong Qingzhu took the doctor's words to heart. After all, they... couldn't bear to see such a bloody mess.
The doctor opened the medicine box and searched for the best medicine for wounds.
only...
There were two large Buddha statues standing next to him, one was his master, the Third Prince, and the other was a young man sitting behind him, not saying a word.
They stared at Chu Xi without blinking, as if if the doctor was a little too heavy-handed, they would immediately interrupt him applying medicine to Chu Xi.
The doctor asked the guard outside to fetch a basin of hot water, and he took a clean towel, intending to clean Chu Xi's bloody wound first.
After wrung out the handkerchief, he stared at Chu Xi's bloody right arm for a moment, hesitating whether to speak.
Zhou Yichen couldn't stand the other party's hesitation, "I asked you to come and treat the wound, not to stare at Qi Bai's wound and hesitate."
Chu Xi saw that the doctor was hesitant to speak, "Doctor, just say it directly."
He pondered and said, "Could you trouble the prince to take off the clothes here?"
Chu Xi was startled, looked down at his bloody right arm, then looked at the doctor, "Use the scissors to cut off this sleeve, no need to take it off."
Doctor, “…” That’s what you say, but wouldn’t it be faster to take it off?
He was confused, but Zhou Yichen next to him no longer gave him time to be stunned.
"Didn't you hear what the prince said? Cut off this piece of sleeve and you don't have to take it off." His tone was neither cold nor indifferent, but with an innate sense of dominance.
The doctor did not dare to hesitate any longer. He quickly took out the scissors and started cutting Chu Xi's injured right sleeve from the shoulder.
As for the three cuts, the sleeve was already stuck to the blood, and the doctor tried to be as careful and gentle as possible when pulling it off.
Seeing this, Chu Xi said directly to the doctor, "It's okay, just use your strength."
It was mainly because of the dragging and slowly pulling action that she couldn't help but tear it off herself.
This will save the other party from being afraid to use force and yet being cautious.
Upon hearing this, the doctor subconsciously glanced at Zhou Yichen who was next to Chu Xi. He saw that His Highness seemed to want to refute, but in the end did not say anything, and still did not listen to Chu Xi.
Continue to maintain the previous rhythm and pull it down slowly.
Rong Qingzhu saw the doctor first clean Qi Bai's wound, and then he applied medicine and bandaged the wound with gauze...
(⊙o⊙).
Seeing the busy and inconvenient movements, he hesitated to ask.
"Do you want me to help you?"
The doctor turned around and faced Rong Qingzhu's offer of help. Although he felt that it might not be appropriate, he agreed when he thought that there seemed to be no one else suitable to help in the tent.
"Then I'd like to trouble you, sir, to help me tighten this end and bandage the wound tightly."
Rong Qingzhu followed the doctor's instructions and pulled the gauze tightly, while the doctor slowly bandaged the wound circle by circle.
After the doctor finished his job, he took the medicine box and nodded respectfully to Zhou Yichen, then left the tent.
"Don't use violence again before your wounds heal." Zhou Yichen looked at the three wounds that Chu Xi had bandaged.
Since the three wounds were on the same arm, after being bandaged, the entire hand was equivalent to being wrapped in white gauze.
"Your Highness, what you said..." Chu Xi smiled helplessly, "This matter is not something I can control, but I will try not to use force."
Zhou Yichen knew that Qi Bai had always been accustomed to protecting him, and sometimes even disregarded his own life and death.
But... there is only one Qibai in this world, so Qibai cannot be hurt in the slightest.
"You are not the only one around me. I brought a lot of guards with me this time. You don't have to rush to the front next time."
Chu Xi knew that Zhou Yichen might be frightened by this situation, but she just smiled and neither agreed nor objected.
That night, eight members of the Nalan clan were killed, ten were captured, and six escaped.
These six people were injured to varying degrees. As Chu Xi was unable to send people to search them on a large scale, their whereabouts soon seemed to be hidden in the crowd.
But Chu Xi and the other two knew very well that they could not go down the mountain and could only hide among the tens of thousands of people.
The next day, all these people were handed over to Zhou Yichen's guards for interrogation.
The good news is that after noon, the rain gradually subsided and was only a drizzle.
The rain is getting lighter and lighter. I think it will stop soon.
However, along with the good news, there was also bad news - there was not enough food.
