Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 207 One counts as one

"Let's go."

This time he didn't hug her or hold her hand.

He just slowed down his pace slightly and walked side by side with her towards Bishuixuan where Xiao Wencong lived.

Xiao Wencong was beaten with a stick and is now lying on the bed recovering from his injuries.

Jiang Li followed Shen Beiqi into the inner hall.

In the copper incense burner, the aroma of sandalwood is rich.

The light grey gauze curtain dragged on the ground, and two figures could be vaguely seen inside the gauze curtain.

Miao Yu was applying medicine to Xiao Wencong's wound. Seeing that he did not go in, Jiang Li stopped and looked inside through the gauze curtain.

Before she could see the situation in the tent clearly, her view was blocked by a large hand with long knuckles.

A familiar voice sounded in my ears, "Don't look at it, go sit over there and rest for a while."

Shen Beiqi raised his chin towards the vermilion lacquered nanmu chair on the side.

Jiang Li then realized that Xiao Wencong was applying the medicine and should have been upper body naked.

It's just that she couldn't see anything clearly through the gauze curtain, so she didn't notice.

She nodded and sat down, holding the handle of the chair lightly.

The maid then brought tea and two plates of exquisite snacks.

A plate of almond cake and a plate of crispy yellow hazelnut cake.

I haven't eaten properly for a few days, and I'm really hungry now.

Her hands were wrapped in gauze, with only her white and tender fingertips showing, just enough to pick up the small hazelnut cookies.

She carefully picked up one, put it in her mouth, and ate it slowly with tea.

Shen Beiqi glanced over out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that one side of her cheek was stuffed with pastries, his eyes finally softened a little.

He had only been gone for more than two months, but her originally slightly round cheeks had become increasingly thinner, and it was obvious at a glance that she had not been eating well.

His eyes fell on the gauze wrapped around her fingers again.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of hostility flashed across them.

How dare someone bully him when he is too busy to do anything else?

Every one of them will pay the price they deserve!

After Miao Yu applied medicine to Xiao Wencong, he stood up and wrapped the gauze curtain around the moon hook.

Xiao Wencong was wearing a black silk undershirt.

He struggled to sit up on the bed, his sleeves hanging loosely like flowing clouds.

"What kind of divine horse can run so fast?" Xiao Wencong sat on the edge of the couch, his lips pale, and joked with a smile.

He raised his hand slightly, motioning Shen Beiqi to sit down, "Did you receive my letter?"

Shen Beiqi glanced at him lightly.

Judging from what he said, could it be that he sent another letter to the north?

After receiving Xiao Wencong's letter, he decided to return to Jiangdu City as soon as possible.

After successfully capturing Luzhou, he rushed back without stopping.

Maybe the messenger missed him on the way.

"I left the North seven days ago and did not receive your letter."

Shen Beiqi lifted his robe, sat down on the chair, and then slowly smoothed out the wrinkles on his sleeves.

After serving tea, the maid quietly left.

Miao Yu saw that Jiang Li's hand was still wrapped in gauze, and his face was full of doubts.

"Jiang Li, it's been so long, and your finger still hasn't healed? Do you want me to take a look at it for you?"

Jiang Li swallowed the cake in his mouth and replied,

"It just looks serious because it's wrapped in gauze, but it's actually much better now."

The external injuries have basically recovered, but the bone injuries remain.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so the gauze cannot be removed for the time being.

"How come you are not only able to make poison, but also a famous doctor?" Jiang Li asked.

"Hey, that's nothing strange." Miao Yu said, "Those who study medicine may not know how to use poison, but those who make poisons must be proficient in medicine."

Jiang Li nodded, not quite understanding.

"Let me change the medicine for you."

Miao Yu searched in the medicine box for a while and found a small jar of ointment.

"This ointment is very effective. Take it back with you when you leave..."

At this point, she seemed to remember something and slapped her forehead.

"How could I have forgotten that from today on, you will become the Third Prince's concubine just like me, and you will live here permanently. That's great! From now on, we can serve the Third Prince together!"

Shen Beiqi's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Xiao Wencong was choked while drinking his tea.

"Cough... cough cough..." He deliberately increased the sound of his cough, trying to make Miu Yu restrain himself.

But Miao Yu continued to chatter with Jiang Li.

He didn't notice anything unusual on their side.

"Don't worry, the Third Prince is kind-hearted and gentle, and is definitely not as bad as the rumors say. Anyway, he is better than that..."

Miu Yu suddenly realized that the cold and extremely annoying person was in the room at that moment.

You can't say bad things about others in front of them.

She changed the subject and skipped his name.

"... He is much better than that guy. You will never regret following the Third Prince!"

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Shen Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a forced smile, and simply chose to remain silent.

At this time, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. It is better to keep silent.

"correct……"

Xiao Wencong quickly changed the subject, "You returned to the capital without being summoned, aren't you afraid that your father will blame you?"

"Even if I don't return to Beijing, he will blame me, right?"

While Shen Beiqi was speaking, his eyes were always glancing at the seat where Jiang Li was sitting outside the curtain.

"Otherwise, why would His Majesty suddenly point Ah Li to the prince?"

"I am afraid…"

Xiao Wencong said, "The Emperor has become suspicious of you. I heard that he recently intends to take back the Guard Bureau, but he has not found a suitable candidate for the Director General, so he has put it on hold."

In fact, when Xiao Wencong agreed to marry Jiang Li, in addition to wanting to help her, he also had a little selfish motive.

There are some benefits to marrying Jiang Li for him.

Putting aside Jiang Minzhi's support, as long as he can marry Jiang Li.

Perhaps the emperor would think that he saved Jiang Li that day because of a personal relationship.

Rather than partisanship.

Miao Yu carefully untied the gauze on Jiang Li's fingers.

Because she had been bandaged for a long time, her ten fingers were abnormally white.

When Miao Yu gently pinched her finger bones, the sudden pain made her gasp unconsciously and her brows furrowed.

"Jiang Li, your finger is wrong..."

Miu Yu was shocked. "Your finger bones were actually broken?"
