923 Injury (4)
He felt that although he was sitting very close to Shen Miao, they were thousands of miles apart.
Pei Lang said, “Why don’t you go back to take a rest? You look tired.”
“I’m fine.” Shen Miao looked up. “You’re not fully recovered yet. Don’t worry about me. Go back and rest.”
Pei Lang was silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll keep you company for a while.”
Shen Miao couldn’t be bothered to persuade him. At this moment, her mind was not on Pei Lang at all. She was focused on Xie Jingxing’s injuries in the room.
Gao Yang was busy for the entire night.
Shen Miao sat there for the entire night.
Speaking of which, Shen Miao had not slept for two days but was in high spirits.
When the rooster crowed at daybreak, Gao Yang opened the door and walked out. When he saw Shen Miao and Pei Lang sitting on the steps in front of the door, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned and say, “You… sat there for the entire night?”
As Shen Miao rubbed her numb knees, she asked Gao Yang, “How is he?”
“He’s out of danger for the time being. The effect of the Guiyuan Pill is not bad. Next, I’m going to make the antidote in the room. Don’t let anyone disturb me.” He looked at Shen Miao. “I’ll leave him in your care for the next few days.”
“Go,” Shen Miao said flatly. Her voice was very calm, as if the life and death of the person on the bed didn’t concern her.
Gao Yang looked at her seriously. “I also hope I can make it. If I can’t, I will live with guilt for the rest of my life.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Uncle Tang looked at Shen Miao, then at Pei Lang and said, “Madam, Young Master Pei, you stayed up all night and didn’t eat anything. Now that Master’s condition has stabilized, you can eat something and rest first. Don’t fall sick from exhaustion.”
Shen Miao nodded and said, “Bring it to the room. I’ll rest in the room for a while. Also, send someone to send a message to Madam Ji to say that His Highness’s condition has stabilized for the time being, but he hasn’t woken up yet. Don’t let them come over for now.”
Uncle Tang nodded. Pei Lang looked at Shen Miao and saw that she had already walked to the chair in the room and sat down. His eyes darkened as he turned around and left.
Gu Yu quickly brought a bowl of porridge over. Shen Miao asked her to go out and close the door. Only Shen Miao, the unconscious Xie Jingxing, and Tie Yi were left in the room. As she ate, she asked Tie Yi, “What exactly happened? Can you tell me now?”
Tie Yi hesitated.
Shen Miao stopped what she was doing and stared at him. She said sternly, “That day, you followed him into the inner venue. No one knows better than you what happened.”
Tie Yi quickly said, “No, Madam, it’s just that I’m not very clear about Master’s plan this time because the person he discussed the plan with was the emperor. He didn’t use anyone from the Black Feather Army. However, something seemed to have happened midway. Someone sneaked into the imperial guards and attacked the emperor. In order to block the knife for the emperor, Master was seriously injured. The knife was poisoned. Clearly, someone wanted the emperor’s life…”
In an instant, Shen Miao was enlightened, feeling like all the dots were connected. Shen Miao had a vague answer to the questions that puzzled her previously. This hunt was actually a game between Emperor Yong Le and the Lu family. Emperor Yong Le wanted to use his life to take down the entire Lu family. The Lu family wanted to take this opportunity to deal with Emperor Yong Le, but they did not know that Emperor Yong Le had made up his mind to die.
