"There's no need for the cloth, just rest for a few days. Once the wound is scabbed, we can continue to bind it."

Ling Xiao didn't answer Lv Hee. He knew that Gu Jingyao wouldn't be able to hear his words, so he instructed, "What the wangfei needs these few days, you just have to arrange it yourself. If you want to borrow people, you can find Yaoyi."

"Please forgive this servant's boldness. Can I take back two of master's maidservants?"

Lv Hee kneeled on the ground and said, "Master was used to using those few girls when she was at the Ping Marquis Mansion.

Ling Xiao frowned, thinking back to his conversation with Gu Jingyao, and nodded: "Do as you wish, don't disturb the peace of Ping Marquis Mansion."

"The prince was generous, and feared that Master didn't like new people, so he sent this servant back to Ping Marquis Mansion to lead the way." Lv Hee understood these twists and turns and hurriedly replied.

"Yes." Ling Xiao nodded and left, forgetting his purpose for coming here again.

However, even if Ling Xiao recalled that this place hadn't been searched, he wouldn't let anyone search at this time to avoid disturbing Gu Jingyao's recovery.

Furthermore, Ling Xiao had been in the room for a long time and had not realized that there was anyone else in the room. Naturally, he didn't need to do anything unnecessary.

After Ling Xiao left, Lv Hee sat paralyzed on the ground in fright.

She was really afraid that if Ling Xiao found out that there was someone else in the room, then Gu Jingyao's reputation would be completely ruined. She might even be accused of plotting against Ling Xiao.

After recovering from her shock, Lv Hee hurriedly stood up to close and bolt the door.

After wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead, he quickly ran to his ear room to see if Meng Ke was still there.

Meng Ke was sitting cross-legged on her embroidery bed. His face was shockingly red.

"You … Are you alright? " Lv Hee asked with concern.

Gu Jingyao had already fallen ill. If something happened to Meng Ke, Lv Hee would not know what to do.

After a while, Meng Ke opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "I've been holding my breath for too long, so my internal breathing isn't going well. May I trouble you to prepare some food? I need to recover some stamina."

"I want to guard the master. There are some snacks and tea outside. If young master doesn't mind, I'll go and bring some for young master." Lv Hee bowed, then trotted away.

Meng Ke didn't like to talk too much. Lv Hee left in a hurry, so she quickly thanked him and swallowed her words.

Within the Nichang Pavilion, Gu Yaoyi had just spat out a mouthful of blood. Although her face was somewhat pale, it was much better than Gu Jingyao's.

"Miss only has one pill left, if you still don't send it over …" Hong Xiu said worriedly as she handed Gu Yaoyi a cup of tea.

"Worse comes to worst, they won't let me die after a few days of suffering." Gu Yaoyi said indifferently. After washing her mouth, she asked: "Any movements on the Meditation Garden side?"

"There was no news. Could it be that the assassin did not follow the plan because of a mistake in his arrangements?" Hong Xiu frowned.

"That won't happen. Today's plan was plotted by one of my lord's most capable men. There can be no mistake." Although Gu Yaoyi said so, her brows were furrowed. It was obvious that she was worried.

"How about this servant go and ask around?" Hong Xiu asked tentatively.

"It's easy to do bad things instead if you don't use it. We'll see in the morning tomorrow."

Lifting her head to look at the dim Lunar Shadow, Gu Yaoyi smiled and said: "Gu Jingyao, if you don't marry into Zhennan Marquis Mansion, you might have a chance of surviving. But you … Don't blame me for being ruthless! "

Hong Xiu lowered her head, pretending that she hadn't heard anything.

This was not the first time that her master did not differentiate between public and private. As long as it did not affect the overall situation, she would not report this to the higher ups.

As for Ling Xiao, after he went back to the study to wash up, he asked Ji BC to go back and forth.

In the entire Duke Palaces, aside from the important areas of the study, only Nichang Pavilion and Meditation Garden had not been searched.

However, the former was heavily guarded, and it was difficult for an injured assassin to enter. As for the latter, they were currently surrounded by heavy soldiers, making it even harder for the assassins to leave.

"Order, do not relax until the assassin is caught." Ling Xiao didn't have any intention of punishing the era.

After all, the manor was huge. If an assassin came prepared, it was possible for them to temporarily hide somewhere. After all, the assassin's skill was not weak.

If it was a one-on-one fight, Ling Xiao would only be able to tie with Meng Ke.

"Yes." "Your subordinate has already found out that those two bowls of medicine were indeed as wangfei said. The wangfei has prepared her own medicine to cleanse herself, and the other bowl is filled with a large amount of red flowers. If you take them when the woman is in trouble or when she is heavily injured, then you will definitely bleed to death. Even if a healthy woman takes it, she will never be able to be a mother again. "

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"

"The maid that made the medicine has committed suicide. The clue is broken." Ji Yuan said angrily.

Ling Xiao raised his eyes and asked, "Are you angry?"

Sensing that he had lost his composure, Ji Yuan hurriedly explained, "The wangfei is the precious gem of the Ping Marquis Mansion, and even the Princess Consort of Zhennan Marquis bestowed upon you by the Emperor. If anything went wrong, they would definitely investigate it thoroughly, and at that time, their Zhennan Marquis Mansion would go against their own. The man behind the scenes was truly sinister! This subordinate is incapable, and is unable to find the real culprit.

Ling Xiao nodded, he naturally understood this logic, but since the clues had been cut off, he continued: "Send some of your trusted guards to watch over the Meditation Garden, in the future when the wangfei goes out, you'll need someone you trust, or you can personally escort them. "This matter shall continue to be investigated in secret. Since we've already done it once, there will definitely be a second time."

"Yes." Ji Yuan replied, his eyes flashing.

Ling Xiao, who was resting with his eyes closed, did not notice the abnormality in the era. He waved his hand and said, "You should also go down to rest. Tomorrow morning, we will throw the corpses of these assassins into the hands of the Nine Gate Infantry Commander. He can give this king an explanation as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir." Ji Yuan performed a military salute and solemnly accepted the order.

The next day, Gu Jingyao woke up in pain.

Although the pain in her body made her want to faint again, her mind was very clear.

Lv Hee had already brought two first-rate maids from Ping Marquis Mansion, as well as two bullies.

They were all the kind of people who had a sense of propriety, but were swift officers.

She would never drag Gu Jingyao down, and Gu Jingyao expressed her satisfaction.

However, Meng Ke was recuperating in his eardrum, so Lv Hee was the only one who was really serving him in close quarters.

"You've heard what Lv Hee said. Right now, I have a lot of people guarding outside my courtyard. It won't be easy for you to leave." Gu Jingyao couldn't sit up, much less cover her body. She could only talk to Meng Ke through the screen.

Not to mention this era's heavily guarded men and women, even Gu Jingyao herself did not want to meet an unfamiliar man naked.

As for Ling Xiao … Not to mention that the two of them had already been married before, the situation last night couldn't allow Gu Jingyao to be hypocritical, so she didn't chase them away.

"Wait until my injuries recover a bit more, these people are no match for me." Meng Ke said confidently.

"You want to leave openly?" Gu Jingyao asked with a frown.
