Chapter 53
As soon as she finished speaking, without paying any attention to Pei Yunche's expression, her ghostly figure disappeared into the night. With light steps and agile movements, she skillfully evaded the guards of the General's Mansion, following the route she remembered, and arrived precisely at Pei Yunche's room.
When he was very young, Pei Yunche had secretly brought the original owner into his room. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, he hadn't changed much.
He placed the man on the bed, released his speech acupoint, and didn't look at his expression.
"Your acupoints will automatically release in two hours. Get some rest."
Having said that, he prepared to leave.
Pei Yunche suddenly spoke, his gaze fixed intently on the woman's back, his voice deep and strained as he tried to suppress a sob.
"Nalan Jingwen, are you just going to stand by and watch me be unhappy? Even if I live in pain every day, you wouldn't care?"
Nalan Jingwen's figure paused, but he did not turn around. A very low sigh seemed to escape from the air.
"Your elder sister will treat you well."
A gust of wind swept by, casting dappled shadows on the moon, but the familiar figure was no longer there.
Pei Yunche stared blankly at the bed curtains, choking back sobs as he cried, like a helpless and pitiful little animal.
"asshole……"
-
Prince Xian’s Mansion.
After returning to his residence, Nalan Jingwen took a short rest and only got up when Cheng He knocked on the door.
She was served and helped with washing up and having breakfast.
"Your Highness, the carriage is already waiting at the gate."
She stood behind Nalan Jingwen, her expression somewhat evasive, but no one noticed. Nalan Jingwen responded and looked up. The sky was not yet fully bright. When he arrived at Rong Hengyu's courtyard, he saw Hongyun, who had already tidied up.
Upon seeing Nalan Jingwen, he immediately knelt down and paid his respects.
"Your Majesty."
Nalan Jingwen waved his hand, signaling her to get up, and then went into the room, where he saw Qinghui helping Rong Hengyu change his clothes.
Perhaps because she had been punished and was still injured, Qinghui's movements were somewhat stiff.
Just as Nalan Jingwen was about to say something, Hongyun behind him frantically winked at him, so he reluctantly bowed.
Nalan Jingwen ignored him completely, took the person from his hands, and helped Rong Hengyu put on his clothes.
At Zhao Qinghuai's speed, he might not even be able to finish by dawn.
Qinghuai instinctively tried to snatch the person back from Nalan Jingwen's grasp, but a cold glare from the latter made him immediately stop reaching out.
Rong Hengyu's body was defiled by the original owner. Even if she was unwilling, he was firmly bound to her and could not be separated no matter what. So it was normal for her to do these intimate acts. Just consider it as keeping an idle person around.
She didn't know much about how men's clothes were dressed, as they were slightly more complicated than women's. So she dressed the person roughly and then carried them away.
The carriage was already parked outside the mansion. The driver was from the Prince Xian's mansion, and the others were all Rong Hengyu's subordinates. Nalan Jingwen glanced at them without saying anything, carried the person into the carriage, and as soon as he entered the carriage, he saw Jingchi dressed in a tight-fitting outfit.
Seeing her come in, he only glanced at her briefly before stepping aside to make room for her.
Nalan Jingwen placed the person in his arms on the couch, took out Ruan Lingyu from his bosom, put it around the person's neck, and then took the blanket and wrapped the person tightly.
As she did this series of actions, she could sense a calm and deep gaze falling on her. She tucked the blanket around Rong Hengyu and turned to look at him.
"How did you get here? Are your injuries healed?"
Jingchi nodded, then unbuttoned the top two buttons, revealing his chest, where a faint scar was visible.
"I am your personal bodyguard."
Nalan Jingwen was slightly taken aback, then reached out to touch it. She felt firm, elastic skin. The scar was indeed from two days ago, but how could it have healed so quickly? She knew how deep the wound was, and she clearly couldn't walk yesterday, but today…
It's not just that it can't get out of bed, it's practically jumping around.
Nalan Jingwen's eyes instantly turned deep and dark, and his gaze towards him became extremely dangerous.
"Who the hell are you?!"
Jingchi, however, seemed completely oblivious to the danger, his clear blue eyes fixed on her silently.
"Your Highness need not worry. My blood is just a bit special. Minor injuries heal in less than half a day, while serious injuries take about two days. It was because of this blood that the organization found me."
Nalan Jingwen still had doubts, his eyes filled with suspicion.
Mirror Pool didn't flinch, letting her see it all.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing withdrew her gaze, but was quite shocked. Even if she thought her physique was special, it was not abnormal to this extent. Such a serious injury was healed in just two days. Just who is he?
Distracted, I heard arguing outside the carriage.
Why are you stopping me?!
Qinghui wanted to get on the carriage, but Hongyun stopped her.
Hongyun frowned and said, "You're not suitable to go this time."
"Why not? I'll be wherever you are, young master!"
Hongyun pressed him down, disapprovingly saying, "This journey is fraught with danger, and there aren't enough people to protect you. You should stay here and wait for us to return."
"I want to follow you, young master!"
"Qinghuai!"
Hongyun said sternly, her expression turning cold.
Qinghuai glared at her resentfully, then turned and ran back to the mansion.
Hongyun sighed and said, "Let's set off."
Nalan Jingwen didn't bother with their affairs. Qinghui was a fool who didn't know how to read people's expressions. He didn't understand how someone as talented as Rong Hengyu, who was renowned throughout the capital, could have such people by his side. If it weren't for Rong Hengyu and Hongyun, with his temperament, he would have offended countless people and died countless times.
To take care of Rong Hengyu's health, the carriage was made exceptionally spacious and comfortable, with several layers of soft cushions. Nalan Jingwen was quite satisfied. The carriage was also equipped with pastries, tea, and snacks.
She was fairly satisfied with Chenghe's work.
She closed her eyes, sat upright to regulate her breathing, and abandoned all distracting thoughts. Time flew by, and she seemed to enter another realm, which made her feel extremely comfortable and clear-headed. She could even see everything around the carriage: lush trees and towering mountains.
Hongyun rode his horse alongside the carriage, his face serious.
The rest of the people followed around the carriage, four in front, two on each side and two behind.
They possessed profound inner strength and considerable skill, but they were still somewhat inferior to Hongyun.
His gaze swept over everyone, but suddenly stopped on one person.
Nalan Jingwen suddenly opened his eyes and shouted sharply, "Stop the car!"
Hongyun was puzzled, but still raised her hand to stop the group.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Nalan Jingwen abruptly lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, walking towards a follower. Seeing that something was wrong, Jingchi also got off the carriage and followed him.
Nalan Jingwen stood still in front of that person, his stern face showing initial anger, his eyes deep and dark.
"Looked up."
Hongyun quickly came to her side, looked at the attendant, and then drew her sword halfway out of its sheath, watching the man warily.
"Who are you?!"
The man kept his head down and remained silent, his entire face shrouded in shadow.
Nalan Jingwen's tone was laced with anger, his aura was heavy, and he raised his voice.
"I'm telling you to raise your head!"
