Something’s Not Right
Xie Yu’s mind unconsciously recalled the scene when she first met Lu Cijian; it should have been when Lu Cijian had just come out of that place.
He was full of bloodthirsty killing intent, unspeakably terrifying.
Lu Cijian back then was definitely her childhood trauma, but later, after learning the truth, she felt a little sorry and guilty.
Jiang Yimian saw that the person beside her seemed to have something to say, and only asked strangely, “What’s wrong?”
Xie Yu hesitated for a long time, but shook her head and didn’t say it.
After all, it was Lu Cijian’s private matter, and she couldn’t speak up.
That matter should also be a psychological shadow for Lu Cijian; bringing it up again would only stab Lu Cijian’s heart again.
Moreover, Lu Cijian certainly wouldn’t want the person in front of her to know, so it would be bad if she said it.
Jiang Yimian only gave her a strange look and briefly explained what happened today.
Xie Yu frowned tightly as she listened, and her voice turned a little colder. “The Chu Prince is really too arrogant, relying on his reputation among the common people to act recklessly. If it weren’t for my Imperial Brother being criticized for many years because of what happened back then, he would have been dealt with long ago.
How could he be allowed to jump around in Great Jin?”
This time, she encountered several assassination attempts on Qingnan Road. If she hadn’t met Captain Zhang in the end, she was afraid that she would have lost her life along with those soldiers.
All of this was done by that bastard, the Chu Prince, but That Person did it so cleanly, without leaving any evidence, so it’s really difficult to deal with the Chu Prince.
She wanted to share the burden for her Imperial Brother, but she didn’t have the ability.
Xie Yu sighed helplessly and then said, “Forget it, my Imperial Brother will naturally have a scale in his heart for these things. He has his own plan on what to do.
Now that the Qingnan affair has been resolved, we should return to the Capital in a few more Days, after the water in the Riverbed has completely receded.
Fortunately, this time there are Southern Guards to escort us back, so we don’t have to worry about anyone else trying to assassinate us.”
With two thousand Southern Guards escorting them, she believed that those who didn’t have eyes would definitely not dare to attack rashly again, unless they wanted to die.
According to the Chu Prince’s cautious nature, he probably wouldn’t send anyone again, unless he wanted to expose himself.
Jiang Yimian was stunned, and hesitated, “Are those Southern Guards also returning to the Capital with us?”
She remembered that Lu Cijian had mentioned a few Days ago that the Southern Guards had a garrison and shouldn’t be returning to the Capital with Wei Jinghai casually.
At that time, she was still worried about whether they would encounter another assassination attempt on the way back to the Capital.
Xie Yu only said, “Of course. This time, General Wei and I were assassinated in Qingnan, so they must escort us back to the Capital.
What if something happens on the way again?”
She and Wei Jinghai were fine on the way here entirely because of good luck. If they were to experience another assassination of that scale on the way back, and there was no one to escort them, something might really happen.
Jiang Yimian breathed a sigh of relief. With the Southern Guards escorting them, their trip back to the Capital was considered safe.
Xie Yu suddenly thought of something, coughed lightly, and then asked curiously, “Is Jiang Qingyuan really your brother?”
Although the two looked somewhat similar, she felt that they were different in other ways.
Jiang Yimian looked indifferent and aloof, but her heart was actually very warm. As long as someone treated her well, she was actually easy to accept.
And Jiang Qingyuan looked polite and approachable, but he was very distant at heart.
Perhaps it was because he had been fighting on the battlefield for too long, so he didn’t trust people easily.
As a result, every time the other party saw her, he would respectfully salute and then leave without stopping.
He seemed easy to get along with, but as soon as she approached, That Person would hide directly as if he had seen some Flood fierce beast.
The more the other party hid, the more interesting she found it.
As the Great Jin Princess, who wouldn’t flatter her when they saw her? But That Person was good; no matter what she said or did, he would always abide by the Rule and avoid her, not at all like a military general, but rather like those pedantic civil officials.
The whole person was both contradictory and fun.
Jiang Yimian raised her eyebrows and looked at her, teasing, “Oh? Is the Princess interested in my brother?”
If Jiang Qingyuan didn’t have amnesia and not remember her now, and if he was unmarried and she unwed, she would really have the mind to match the two of them.
Xie Yu was stunned, then smiled and shook her head. “I wouldn’t dare. If Great General Wei knew I was interested in his prized disciple, he would come looking for trouble for me!”
She was just curious, not interested.
Wei Jinghai was cultivating Jiang Qingyuan as his successor. If she dared to say she had taken a fancy to him, That Old Man would definitely not agree.
A good general seedling who was supposed to go to the battlefield to kill enemies would only have the title of her Imperial Son-in-Law in the future. Wei Jinghai would definitely be pissed to death.
Seeing that she was smiling but her words were serious, Jiang Yimian didn’t continue to tease her, but instead asked, “How has General Wei’s injury been recently?”
She had gone to see General Wei a few Days ago, but seeing that there were many people taking care of him, she came back after confirming that there was nothing serious.
But it had been quite a few Days, and That Person hadn’t woken up yet.
Xie Yu didn’t seem worried, but smiled and said, “Chen, the Imperial Physician, said that General Wei’s injury is slowly recovering, but he hasn’t woken up because the injury was too severe.
Recently, Medical Officer Liu has not only been personally decocting medicine for General Wei, but also made a lot of Trauma Medicine that is very effective for recovery. I’ve used it, and the effect is good. Weren’t you injured a few Days ago?
I happen to have brought some for you today.”
As she spoke, she pointed to the small Porcelain Bottle on the table.
Jiang Yimian was stunned, and after a while, she picked up the small Porcelain Bottle on the table and sniffed it.
The Medicinal Herbs were fine, but she really didn’t trust that Liu Zixun.
After hesitating for a while, she said, “Shouldn’t the decocting of medicine usually be done by the people around General Wei? Why would That Liu Zixun go to decoct medicine for General Wei?”
Something was amiss, that Liu Zixun definitely had a Problem. There were so many Medical Officers, so why did he have to decoct the medicine?
Xie Yu thought for a while and then said, “I heard that General Wei’s medicine is a bit special, and those people can’t control the heat well, fearing that it would lose its medicinal effect, so Medical Officer Liu went to help.
It’s only been these few Days. What’s wrong? Is there a Problem?
That Medical Officer Liu is a good person, and his Medical Skill is also okay. There are people guarding General Wei’s Courtyard everywhere, so it should be fine.”
She had met Medical Officer Liu before, and he seemed to be a decent person who was focused on studying Medical Skill and didn’t seem like a bad person.
In addition, she had often seen the other party in Wei Jinghai’s Courtyard recently. That Person worked efficiently and was immersed in his own affairs, and he didn’t fawn over anyone. She thought That Person was quite reliable.
Jiang Yimian felt even stranger the more she thought about it, and only said, “I’ll go see General Wei.”
Liu Zixun was casually flipping through the Medical Book in his hand in the room, his face was calm, but he was actually a little irritable in his heart.
He had just heard that Xu Changli of the Ministry of Works seemed to be missing.
He went out in the morning and hadn’t returned yet, and he was in a mess.
He was both happy and worried.
He was happy that if That Person disappeared from here, no one would know his intentions toward Wei Jinghai. He only needed to continue poisoning the other party, and in a few Days, Wei Jinghai would never wake up completely. It was impossible for the other party to return to the Capital alive.
He was worried that if Xu Changli was caught by Lu Cijian and confessed him in advance, his plan would fail.
