Chapter 1338: Who Did It?
to die in Tianba Country.Even if he can't kill him, we must find a way to kill Zhao Si and prevent her from marrying into Tianba Kingdom. That way, he will no longer have the support of Tianba Kingdom...Upon hearing Xiao Hong's words, a triumphant gleam flashed across the man's face, but his eyes still betrayed a sense of guilt:
This method might persuade your young lady, but...but it would be too damaging to you.
Hearing this method would harm herself, Xiaohong was stunned and even more confused. What kind of method could actually harm her
She frowned slightly, "It's alright, go ahead and tell me. In this situation, if it truly is a good plan, I can bear some hardship. Anyway, we don't have any other options now, do we Whatever happens, I can't let my young mistress find out anything."
She understood her young mistress. If she were truly to go to the Imperial Kitchen tonight to find someone, it would be a difficult situation later on.
Xiaohong wanted to stop the man in front of her even more than she wanted to protect her young mistress, so when she saw him hesitating and not speaking, she became anxious and urged him, "Come on, say it! I really won't be angry."
The man sneered inwardly, this foolish woman had finally fallen completely into his carefully laid trap.
If that's the case, he won't continue to endure this nausea and pretense. "The only people who can make your mistress invest her time and energy are the Emperor, and you,"
"Hmm"
"I can tell your young mistress cares deeply for you. If she wanted her to stay away from the Imperial Kitchen tonight and stop looking for people from the Beijang王府, it's simple. Just get hurt. Your mistress would have to take care of you then and wouldn't be able to go anywhere else."
The man, as he spoke, observed Xiaohong's face. Seeing that she was indeed startled, he immediately shook his head and said with a look of self-reproach:
"But that's just a wild idea of mine, Xiaohong. Don't worry about it. I wouldn't let anything happen to you, I wouldn't let you get hurt or mistreated. It's okay, we can think of other ways."
The man's acting is truly good, Xiaohong was completely fooled by his self-blame.
And after some thought, she realized that this was the only way to get her young mistress's attention and keep her tethered. She truly didn't know of any other method that could stop her own wayward young mistress.
Although this method will make her suffer, it seems there is no other way.
After a moment of silence, Xiaohong's eyes became determined. She looked straight at the man before her and said, "That's it!"
"No!" The man shook his head abruptly, a look of guilt on his face. "This won't work. I couldn't bear to see you hurt. It's alright, let's just think of something else."
Xiaohong smiled wryly, “It's useless. Besides this method, what other options do we have right now The only thing that works is your suggestion.”
"That won't do, you can't get hurt."
Seeing him care so much for her, Xiaohong's heart instantly felt no more wronged. She smiled:
"Don't worry, for the sake of our plan, a little hardship now is nothing. Time is short, let's just do it this way."
She should go back too, otherwise the young lady at her house will definitely take action. She needs to get back as soon as possible to stop it.
The man naturally knew time was short. He didn't speak at the moment, only pursed his lips and looked at Xiaohong.
In Xiao Hong's eyes, his demeanor conveyed a complex mix of guilt, reluctance, and helplessness.
Xiaohong saw him like this, and her heart ached. She couldn't think of anything else; she impulsively hugged the man in front of her, "You...don't do this, it has nothing to do with you, I feel so bad seeing you like this."
“...”
After achieving his goal, the man didn't enjoy the touch like that from Xiao Hong. He could only endure it with gritted teeth.
However, his scheme did come to fruition, and now everything would be easy.
……
Half an hour later, Xiaohong appeared in front of Huaduo limping and seemingly seriously injured.
The flower girl just came out of the inner room and upon seeing this scene, her face instantly changed. She ran over to Xiao Hong's side and asked, "What's going on"
"Little... Miss, you can't go."
Xiao Hong was all sore and had dried blood on her lips, it looked quite serious.
The blood on her lips was fake, but she was genuinely injured. The young lady wasn't a fool; if she hadn't put up some real resistance, she wouldn't have been able to fool the young lady.
She has bruises on her arms, abdomen, and legs, and a red mark on the right side of her face. They are all real injuries, and she is truly in pain.
After being supported by her mistress, she collapsed onto the blossoms.
Huāduǒr's brow furrowed in concern. She quickly helped Xiǎohóng to a small couch nearby and had her lie down. Only then did she carefully examine Xiǎohóng's injuries.
The more she checked, the gloomier Hua Duoer's face became. "Who on earth hurt you like this"
When she asked this, her eyes were fixed on Xiaohong's, eager to see how she would respond.
Xiaohong lowered her head, looking like she didn't dare to speak.
Hua Duo'er sighed, she didn't immediately explain. Hua Duo'er also didn't rush to ask for an answer, at this moment she pressed her abdomen, "Does it hurt"
< Xiao Hong shook her head, "No...no pain." >
Huāduǒr pursed her lips and took a long look at Xiaohóng, then got up and went to get some medicine bottles.
This is an ointment for treating wounds. She sat on the bed, wanting to personally apply the medicine to Xiao Hong, but Xiao Hong refused, "Miss, I... I'll do it myself."
"You're hurt so badly, how could you even think of doing this yourself Just lie still. Besides the injuries I can see, is there anything else that bothers you Please tell me if there is."
Xiao Hong's true intention was to have Huaduo take care of her, so that Huaduo could also rest from the thoughts of going to find someone from the Bei Jiang Wangfu.
So this time, she didn't insist on not letting Huāduǒ treat her wound.
First, she applied medicine to the obvious red marks on her face, then to the wounds on her arms. "Tell me, what happened"
Xiaohong choked back a sob, "Miss, just now...just now I wanted to go find the person you asked me to, but for some reason, I went to the agreed-upon meeting place and was almost beaten to death. If it weren't for the imperial guards patrolling the palace who appeared in time, I wouldn't have been able to escape."
Can you see what the person who hit you looks like Is it a man or a woman
"Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't see clearly. That person's movements were too fast. I couldn't see what he looked like at all, but...but judging by his build, he should be a man."
Hua Duo'er fell silent for a moment, tending to Xiao Hong's wounded left hand with deliberate care before finally lifting her head. Her gaze, laden with unspoken meaning, swept over Xiao Hong.
Xiaohong was instantly frightened by that look. Her heart skipped a beat, as if... she had never seen such an expression from him after following him for so many years.even, I was wrong. I shouldn't have watched you get into trouble. When you instinctively hid behind me, I didn't stop you from leaving either. So, let's just forget about it, okay"Eleven raised an eye...
