Chapter 541 There is an Assassin (3)
Murong Yanhui opened his eyes wide in surprise. In his eyes, Yu Qingli had always been cold and aloof. Even if she accepted his feelings, it was mostly forced and calm. Such a loss of composure seemed so precious to him. Does this mean that even if he stopped pestering her, Yu Qingli had already begun to care about him?
The blood flowing around his body made Murong Yanhui feel a little cold, but his heart was as warm as the sunshine. He reached out and embraced Yu Qingli, resting her head on his shoulder. Yu Qingli's warm tears finally burst out, wetting his clothes and melting his heart.
"Lili, I'm so happy! I've never been so happy as I am today! I thought my efforts would never get any response from you, but I didn't expect that without me knowing, you actually loved me so much."
Yu Qingli's ears turned red, she was anxious and angry. She quickly pushed Murong Yan away and said angrily, "Who said I love you? Stop talking nonsense! It's more important to find a place to get treatment!"
Murong Yanhui just smiled and said nothing. It didn't matter if she didn't admit it. His Lili had always been a woman who said one thing and meant another!
Yu Qingli came back to her senses and took out a small porcelain bottle from her purse. It contained hemostatic pills, originally prepared for Xiluo, but now it was just right to give it to Murong Yan.
Murong Yanhui had great faith in Yu Qingli's medical skills, so he took the pill and put it into his mouth without any hesitation.
After swallowing the pill, Murong Yanhui asked, "Lili, why are you here?"
Yu Qingli was stunned. "Didn't you follow me here?"
After saying this, she felt a little embarrassed. It sounded like she was being sentimental. She shook her head casually and said seriously, "I came here with the eldest prince. The queen is going to celebrate her birthday soon, so she asked Yu Zhenzhen to come here to get some fabrics. We stopped by. But why did you come here?"
"It's hard to describe in words!"
Murong Yanhui closed his eyes after he finished speaking. Yu Qingli saw that he was not in a very good mood, so she did not ask any more questions. She was just thinking about where to find some medicine for his wounds.
"Can you still leave?"
"can!"
"Well, we can't stay here for long. We have to leave here as soon as possible and find a room first. We need to remove the arrow from your body as soon as possible. If you lose too much blood, your life may be in danger!"
Murong Yan responded softly, but his face became paler. Yu Qingli touched his forehead. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever, but his temperature was a little low.
Yu Qingli was anxious and didn't care about anything else. She supported Murong Yanhui and prepared to leave.
"Lili... the blood on the ground..."
"I know, don't worry."
Yu Qingli thought about it, took off her coat, and wrapped Murong Yanhui's entire upper body to prevent blood from dripping. Then she helped him walk carefully towards her room.
From what Bai Jinhua said just now, everyone should gather in the main hall now. No one should notice them here. Fortunately, the room assigned to her was not too far from here.
Soon, Yu Qingli and Murong Yan returned to the room. Xiluo had not returned yet, which made Yu Qingli a little worried. She didn't know what was going on.
Murong Yanhui only felt that the pain in his wound was numb and his head began to feel dizzy, but he knew that he couldn't fall asleep like this, otherwise the situation would only get worse, so he forced himself to stay awake and talk to Yu Qingli.
"Lili, there's something wrong with this villa!"
"I've also discovered that there are formations everywhere here. Although there are no guards, it's surprisingly tight. Outsiders rarely get in. Xiluo has gone outside to investigate, but hasn't returned yet. I just heard that someone triggered the formation, and I thought it was her."
"Um……"
Murong Yanhui responded softly. Yu Qingli wanted to say something but found that he had passed out. Fortunately, he had been placed on the bed. Because he was shot in the back, he could only lie there. His head was already soaked with sweat. Even in a coma, his brows were furrowed with pain.
Yu Qingli was anxious. This arrow wound must be treated as soon as possible. She didn't know whether Murong Yanhui came alone or with Changkong. Since he was injured, she didn't know what Changkong's condition was like.
His mind was full of thoughts, and although he had many worries, he could only treat Murong Yanhui's wound as soon as possible. The broken arrow was embedded in his flesh and blood, and the injury could not be healed no matter what.
Yu Qingli gradually calmed down. She first locked the door from the inside, and then gave all the hemostatic pills she had with her to Murong Yanhui. Fortunately, she found a small medicine box in the room, which contained some common wound medicines.
She carefully cut open the brocade robe on Murong Yanhui's body. Fortunately, there were no other wounds except the arrow wound. There was no hot water in the room, so it was impossible to thoroughly clean the wound. Yu Qingli thought about it, found a clean handkerchief, and wiped him with the warm tea on the table.
After everything was ready, Yu Qingli held her breath and focused, staring at the broken arrow. She prepared the medicine aside and two clean handkerchiefs. Then, she pulled out the broken arrow in one go. Bright red blood gushed out from the wound, staining Yu Qingli's eyes red. She poured all the medicine on the wound.
At this moment, Yu Qingli was very glad that Murong Yanhui was unconscious. At least she didn't have to stay awake to endure the pain. She found a clean brocade robe, cut it open, and bandaged his wound carefully. After doing all this, she was already exhausted and out of breath.
Just as I was thinking about what to do with these blood-stained clothes, I suddenly heard voices outside the door.
"Thank you, Second Young Master. Just send me here. I'll go in by myself. I'm afraid the young lady has already returned."
"It's not too much of a difference. I'll take you in."
It was Xiluo and Bai Jinqi. Yu Qingli was wondering how they could be involved with each other.
In a panic, Yu Qingli stuffed all the things on the bedside table under the bed, and then heard a knock on the door.
"Who?"
Yu Qingli deliberately lowered her voice, sounding a little sleepy.
"Miss, it's me."
After hearing Xiluo's answer, Yu Qingli slowly walked towards the door, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Girl, why does it take you so long to go to the toilet? Are you lost?"
When the door opened, Yu Qingli was stunned. What was going on?
Xiluo was held horizontally by Bai Jinqi. She looked like a docile rabbit, with a faint blush on her pretty face.
"Xiluo, what's wrong with you?"
"She sprained her foot." Bai Jinqi took over the conversation, her words clearly filled with tenderness and concern.
Xiluo quickly pushed Bai Jinqi with her hand and said, "Put me down quickly! I'm so embarrassed and ashamed of myself after coming here!"
Bai Jinqi then put Xiluo down and gave her a meaningful look. "What's so embarrassing about being with me?"
Xiluo was speechless. Yu Qingli's eyes flickered between the two of them. What was going on? Why had the Bai family's second young master been so nice to Xiluo in such a short while? And judging by his expression, it was clear he was attracted to Xiluo.
How surprising!
Xiluo was helped to sit at the table, and Bai Jinqi spoke up, "Princess, Miss Xiluo is injured. If you need anything, you can just ask the servants at the manor to do it."
Yu Qingli was speechless. So, he was already defending her? Could it be that the Bai family's second young master fell in love with Xiluo at first sight?
"Thank you, Second Young Master, for bringing Xiluo back. If you have anything else to do, please go ahead and do it. I will take care of Xiluo."
Bai Jinqi then realized that the princess had already taken off her outer robe and was obviously ready to rest. It was indeed inappropriate for a man like him to continue staying here, so he hurriedly said, "Then I will be leaving first. Miss Xiluo, you should have a good rest!"
After saying this, Bai Jinqi seemed to remember something and ordered, "Two assassins have come to the villa today. The princess and Miss Xiluo should not move around freely. Be careful. If anything happens, just pull Jin Ling in the room."
"Thank you for your trouble, sir."
After Yu Qingli politely sent Bai Jinqi away, she set her eyes on Xiluo's face and asked, "What's going on?"
Xiluo also returned to his usual expression and said, "It's just a honey trap. Miss, have you forgotten the scene of our first meeting?"
Yu Qingli frowned, "Xiluo, I want to apologize to you. I rashly let you act without knowing the situation here, and I caused you to get hurt."
"Miss, you're worrying too much. I injured my foot myself while trying to avoid being hunted. Compared to that, I actually heard a huge secret!"
Xiluo was about to speak when she suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. She didn't notice it when she was standing at the door just now, and the fragrance of flowers filled her nostrils. Now that the door was closed, she felt that the whole room was filled with the smell of blood, which made her face suddenly serious.
"Miss, are you hurt?"
"It's not me! Someone else was injured!"
"what?"
Xiluo was curious, but saw Yu Qingli walk to the bedside and lift the curtain. Xiluo was surprised, "Why is the prince here? Did he come here with the young lady?"
"That's not the case. I don't know how he got here, but it seems he came here for the secret of Jinxiu Villa. He was the one who accidentally touched the formation."
Xiluo muttered to himself, "I wonder if Changkong has come?"
If it wasn't the wrong timing, Yu Qingli would definitely tease Xiluo a few times, but she really wasn't in the mood for that now. She was just thinking about how to get Murong Yanhui out.
The two fell into silence at the same time. Yu Qingli glanced at Murong Yanhui who was still unconscious and sighed in her heart. Today was destined to be a sleepless night.
