Chapter 163 Have You Slept Yet?

Hearing the word "apply medicine", Zhiyuan's originally calm face became a little strange. She was stunned for a moment, and her eyes fell on the exquisite porcelain bottle in front of her.

An indescribable look emerged, and she didn't say anything.

"Don't stand there."

Lin Jiangnian saw that she was still silent, and waved his hand in front of her: "You haven't changed the medicine for a few days. Although the injury is not serious, the wound must be treated..."

Seeing that Zhiyuan looked indifferent, Lin Jiangnian paused, and his tone slightly increased: "The wound on your back is not light. If you don't treat it, after the wound scabs and falls off, it will leave a very ugly scar..."

The tone that seemed to be threatening and a little intimidating finally made Zhiyuan react. After staring at the porcelain bottle for a few seconds, she suddenly reached out: "Give it to me."

Lin Jiangnian subconsciously put the porcelain bottle in her hand. Zhiyuan held the porcelain bottle tightly and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

The tone was neither cold nor indifferent, as if he was thanking her, but the calm expression on his face showed that this thank you was not sincere at all.

Just when Lin Jiangnian wanted to say something, he saw Zhiyuan had already stood up to see him off.

"You can go out now."

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

Why is she just killing me here?

"Don't you need my help?"

Lin Jiangnian looked up at her, but saw Zhiyuan's indifferent expression: "I'll find a way."

"What way?"

Lin Jiangnian said: "The injury is on the back, how can you apply the medicine yourself?"

When she was in the small mountain village, it was fully proved that there were some things she couldn't do alone.

Instead of being stubborn, it's better to be honest and obedient.

But it's obvious that Zhiyuan is no longer the poor little maid in the small mountain village. She lowered her eyes slightly, and after a while, she said: "Where's Qingqing?"

"Qingqing went out to do something." Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Zhiyuan continued to remain silent.

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Don't you need my help?"

Zhiyuan said silently: "Don't bother your highness."

"No need to bother."

"Your highness, please respect yourself."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian's wishful thinking was not fulfilled after all.

After her injury improved and she returned to Xunyang City, Zhiyuan obviously had more choices... Or maybe there were other reasons. This time, she simply refused Lin Jiangnian's kindness to help her apply medicine.

Lin Jiangnian, whose plan did not work, sighed deeply as he stood outside the door.

Other maids are all cautious and flatter their masters. If they disagree with each other, they will be beaten half to death by their masters and thrown into the mountains to feed dogs.

This little maid not only dared to show her master a bad face, but also dared to be arrogant...

She deserves to be punished!

When he was thinking about how to punish this little maid, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Your Highness."

A plainclothes guard appeared outside the courtyard, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Wang Qin has woken up, waiting for Your Highness's order."

"Awake?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows. Wang Qin had fainted when he was caught yesterday. It was unknown whether he really fainted or pretended to faint. Lin Jiangnian didn't take it to heart. He originally planned to lock him up for a few days to kill his spirit. Today, he happened to have nothing to do, so he went to settle accounts with him.

After making up his mind, Lin Jiangnian had a sneer on his face: "Let's go and take a look!"

After Lin Jiangnian left, the courtyard returned to peace. Not long after, a figure appeared cautiously in the courtyard.

It was Xiaozhu.

Xiaozhu took light steps, tiptoed into the courtyard, and looked around carefully. Then he came to the eaves of the corridor, paced for a long time, and looked at the slightly closed door not far away. He took a deep breath, and a few hesitations and entanglements appeared on his little face.

With her hands intertwined, a guilty look appeared on her little face, and she hesitated whether to go forward.

Since last night, Xiaozhu has been tormented by guilt.

When she saw Sister Zhiyuan again, she didn't expect Sister Zhiyuan to look at her as if she was a stranger, and even looked at her with a cold look.

This made Xiaozhu very uneasy.

After thinking about it, apart from her being a traitor, she seemed to have no other thoughts that had annoyed Sister Zhiyuan.

Therefore, she concluded that she was instigated by His Highness to betray Sister Zhiyuan, so Sister Zhiyuan was so indifferent to her.

Yesterday she told His Highness about this matter, and His Highness told her not to worry. But Xiaozhu still felt bad. After a night of torment, Xiaozhu finally made up her mind to confess and apologize to Sister Zhiyuan.

If Sister Zhiyuan is really angry, then, just beat her up.

After all, she was at fault first. Sister Zhiyuan treated her so well, saved her, took her back to the Linwang Mansion, and made her worry-free, but she betrayed Sister Zhiyuan's trust.

Although, although she was forced by His Highness...

But she is a traitor after all!

Xiaozhu finally made up her mind, took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to walk to the door, and just when she was about to knock on the door, a cold voice came from the room.

"Xiaozhu?"

When this voice sounded, Xiaozhu's petite body trembled, and her strong courage was instantly dispersed.

"Zhi, Sister Zhiyuan..."

The voice was trembling and uneasy.

"Come in."

The voice in the room was cold, but there was no other emotion.

Xiaozhu then stretched out her slightly trembling hand and carefully pushed open the door.

In the cold room, Zhiyuan was still sitting by the window sill, with his back to her. The cold and unparalleled back made Xiaozhu's heart tremble even more.

Xiaozhu secretly tried to cheer herself up, and tremblingly stepped into the room.

"Close the door."

Zhiyuan's cold voice came again.

No turning back.

A trace of fear suddenly appeared on Xiaozhu's face.

Close the door.

This, is he going to close the door to teach her a lesson? !

Xiaozhu looked more and more uneasy, but she still gritted her teeth, closed the door, turned around, and walked behind Zhiyuan.

"Sister Zhiyuan, I, I'm here..."

There was a bit of heroic determination in her tone.

She was ready to be taught a lesson by Sister Zhiyuan, even if Sister Zhiyuan was ruthless... She had no complaints.

However, Xiaozhu had just made up her mind, but Zhiyuan didn't seem to have any intention of hitting her.

Zhiyuan slowly turned around, his cold eyes fell on her, and looked her up and down.

Xiaozhu suddenly felt like she was being stared at, her whole body was numb, and she couldn't stand Sister Zhiyuan's eyes.

"Zhi, Sister Zhiyuan, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Zhu was at a loss, and her tone was a little scared. Sister Zhiyuan's temperament was already good, and perhaps it was the innate indifference that she had developed in the Lin Wang Mansion in the past few years that made Xiao Zhu even more uneasy.

Zhiyuan still didn't speak, but after looking at Xiaozhu almost all over her body, she slowly retracted her gaze.

"Xiao Zhu."

"Slave, slave is here."

"Help me apply the medicine!"

After saying that, Zhiyuan stood up and walked towards the bed beside her.

Xiao Zhu was left standing there in a daze, a little unresponsive, what, what's going on?

Apply, apply medicine?

Didn't Sister Zhiyuan want to teach her a lesson?

What medicine?

While Xiao Zhu was still stunned, Zhiyuan had come to the bed, sat on the bed, slowly untied the belt around her waist, and the plain white long dress slipped off, taking off the lining, and the only clothes on her upper body were the green girl's bellyband.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhu opened his eyes wide and blinked.

Still didn't react.

Sister Zhiyuan, why, why did you take off your clothes?

The blue girl's bellyband couldn't cover the girl's white skin like snow, which made Xiao Zhu somewhat envious. Sister Zhiyuan's skin was too good, as tender and smooth as snow.

Just when Xiao Zhu was still in a daze, he saw Zhiyuan slowly turn around.

The next second, Xiao Zhu's pupils suddenly widened.

"Zhi, Sister Zhiyuan, you... "

Xiao Zhu's voice was a little trembling, staring at Sister Zhiyuan's back in disbelief: "What's going on?"

On Sister Zhiyuan's back, the originally white and smooth skin was wrapped in bandages. Even if Xiao Zhu didn't understand, he could realize something.

Sister Zhiyuan, are you injured?

"Come here!"

On the bed, Zhiyuan had already prostrated herself on the bed and spoke expressionlessly.

Although she was not facing Lin Jiangnian this time, but her very familiar subordinates, she was still a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xiaozhu was still in a daze, he spoke again.

Xiaozhu woke up from the dream and walked forward tremblingly. When he saw the serious wound on Sister Zhiyuan's back, Xiaozhu's heart trembled.

"Zhi, Sister Zhiyuan, how, how did you get injured?"

"Is it serious?!"

Xiaozhu's eyes were slightly red, and he felt distressed.

How could Sister Zhiyuan get such a serious injury?

Zhiyuan lay on the bed, and his dull tone still did not reveal any emotion.

"It's okay."

"There's medicine next to me, help me apply it!"

Xiao Zhu then saw a porcelain bottle next to the bed, and was at a loss: "I, what should I do?"

She was a little flustered. After seeing Sister Zhiyuan injured, she was a little at a loss. She subconsciously said: "I, I will go and call His Highness?!"

"Don't go!"

Zhiyuan spoke in a dull voice, and for some reason her voice seemed a little angry: "I'll teach you!"

"Oh..."

Xiao Zhu was obedient and worried: "Then, what should I do?"

"First untie the bandage, treat the wound...then apply the medicine, and then..."

Zhiyuan started to instruct, and Xiao Zhu trembled and began to apply the medicine according to Zhiyuan's instructions.

Fortunately, although her movements were unfamiliar and her hands were trembling. But she was extremely careful and focused, just like the first time she served His Highness, although unfamiliar, but very serious.

Untying the bandage, looking at the wound on Sister Zhiyuan's back, although it looks almost healed, the shocking scar can still be seen.

This made Xiaozhu's heart tremble, and her eyes became redder.

What has Sister Zhiyuan experienced during this period?

Such a serious injury must be very painful, right?

Xiaozhu couldn't help but burst into tears and wanted to cry. She tried to calm herself down, helped Sister Zhiyuan apply medicine, and rebandaged the wound. When she finished all this, her tired face was pale, and there was a layer of sweat on her forehead.

"Okay, okay..."

The voice was a little weak.

Zhiyuan slowly sat up and put on the clothes she had just taken off one by one. After putting all the clothes back on, she returned to her previous cold and unparalleled appearance.

"Sister Zhiyuan, you, how did you get injured?"

Xiaozhu's slightly trembling voice came from the side. How could Sister Zhiyuan be injured so seriously?

Where did she go during the time she left the Linwang Mansion? What did she experience?

How much suffering did she endure?

Xiao Zhu's heart trembled and he felt distressed, and he immediately imagined many scenes.

Zhi Yuan looked up and saw Xiao Zhu's worried expression and red eyes. He was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head gently.

"It's okay."

Seeing Xiaozhu's pale face again, he was silent for a while: "You go back and rest first."

Xiaozhu's head was a little groggy, and he nodded when he heard it: "Then, Sister Zhiyuan, I'm going to rest first. If you have any instructions, just call me..."

Zhiyuan nodded.

Xiaozhu packed up the things beside her and turned to leave the room.

Just took two steps, she was suddenly stopped by Zhiyuan.

"Sister Zhiyuan, is there anything else?"

Xiaozhu stopped and looked back.

A delicate, small and slightly pale face, well-behaved and sweet.

Very good-looking!

At a young age, Xiaozhu already has some of the immaturity of a young man.

Zhiyuan was slightly dazed for a moment, his eyes fell on Xiaozhu's face, and suddenly spoke.

"You, have slept?"

Xiaozhu was still a little dazed, and didn't react to what Sister Zhiyuan meant.

What slept?

When he was about to speak, he suddenly realized something and his heart skipped a beat.

At the same time, he heard Sister Zhiyuan speak again.

"His Highness, has he asked you to sleep with him?"

Xiao Zhu looked up and met Sister Zhiyuan's gaze.

In that cold gaze, there seemed to be some questioning, some doubt, and some...

Unspeakable emotions.

Not good!

Xiao Zhu had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sleep with him?

Sister Zhiyuan asked, what she was asking was...

Xiao Zhu opened his eyes wide, and his expression immediately became extremely flustered.

"I, I..."

"..."

In the dim basement.

"Let me out, let me out quickly!"

A roaring voice came from the empty basement.

In the deepest cell, a young man dressed in brocade and looking rich was roaring in the cell.

"I am the son of the governor of Xunyang, you should let me go quickly, otherwise I will chop off your heads and kill your nine clans!!"

"Let me out quickly."

Wang Qin's face was ferocious, and he roared at the outside of the cell.

He was terrified and realized that he was in big trouble. Now he could only dispel the fear in his heart by doing this.

But when he thought... that the prince of Lin was not dead, Wang Qin felt a sense of despair that the end of the world was coming.

How could he not die?

How could he not die? !

Until now, Wang Qin even thought he was still dreaming, with an extremely unreal feeling.

"Let me out!"

His voice gradually became hoarse.

At this time, footsteps finally came from not far away.

Wang Qin looked up excitedly, "Let me out quickly..."

A figure appeared in front of him.

A familiar figure.

But the next second, the excitement on Wang Qin's face disappeared completely.

Instead, it was pale.

In his sight, Lin Jiangnian slowly stepped into the basement, looking at the embarrassed and ferocious Wang Qin in the cell, and the deep fear in his eyes.

"Hey, isn't this our eldest son Wang?"

Lin Jiangnian approached the cell with a smile on his face.

"It's been so long since we last met, how come you're in such a bad state?"

"..."
