Chapter 174 Visit
After the peace talks were over, Mu Jiuchen prepared to return to Beijing. He was worried about the delicate girl who was far away in the capital, and he didn't know how her injuries were.
He arranged the rest of the matters before leaving. Because the Kingdom of Jin would later send compensation to the capital, he arranged for Jiang Ying to wait in the border town, and then Jiang Ying would transport it back to the capital.
After everything was arranged, Mu Jiuchen led the army on the way home. Along the way, he was always thinking about the woman who made him worried, wondering if she was safe and if she still remembered him.
After a difficult journey, they finally set out on their return journey. Changfeng originally thought that the return journey would be easier, but the reality disappointed him greatly. They still had to sleep in the open air and were exhausted.
As night fell, they arrived at the inn. Changfeng and Changyun stood guard at the master's door while the master was bathing inside.
"Changyun, why do you think our master is fighting so hard? He has clearly won the victory, so why doesn't he take a break? Why is he rushing back to the capital in such a hurry?" Changfeng couldn't help but complain to Changyun.
Changyun glanced at Changfeng and replied softly, "Miss Jiang was injured by Jincheng a few days ago. The master is anxious to return to the capital because he is probably worried about Miss Jiang."
"What? Who dares to touch the taboo? How dare you!" Changfeng asked in astonishment with his eyes wide open.
"It was Jin Cheng who molested Miss Jiang last time and had his palm pierced by your dagger." Chang Yun looked at Chang Feng with a reproachful look. "To be honest, if you hadn't taught him a lesson last time, he might not have attacked Miss Jiang."
"This... seems to be related to me. This abominable guy actually dared to do evil!" Chang Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Wait until we return to the capital, and see how I deal with him!"
Half a month later, one evening, Mu Jiuchen and his two followers finally arrived in the capital. They were exhausted from all the traveling, but Mu Jiuchen did not rest immediately. Instead, he took advantage of the night to rush to the Taifu Mansion.
Changfeng stood in the yard, looking at his master's back as he left, and sighed helplessly. He had long been accustomed to his master's behavior, and knew that his master had his own way of doing things, so he no longer forced him to follow him. Anyway, this was the capital, and no one should be able to hurt his master.
After Mu Jiuchen arrived at the Taifu Mansion, he went straight to Xiangya Garden. At this time, Xiangya Garden was silent, with only a faint moonlight shining on the ground. He sent out a special signal, and Shi Liu heard the sound and couldn't help wondering if he had heard it wrong. This is the prince's signal! The surrounding secret guards also received the news one after another.
"The prince is back!" The secret guards were secretly amazed. They knew how much the prince valued Miss Jiang. The fact that the prince came to the Jiang family as soon as he came back was enough to explain everything. Everyone secretly decided that they would work harder on duty at the Jiang family in the future to ensure Miss Jiang's safety.
Shi Liu was still on duty in Jiang Li's room at Xiangya Garden, while Chun Tao and Xia He were both resting. Shi Liu looked at the young lady lying on the bed and felt distressed. Jiang Li's injuries had almost recovered, with the most serious injuries on her forehead and arms, but her forehead had already begun to scab, which made Shi Liu feel a little relieved.
However, a sudden noise outside broke the silence in the house. Shi Liu's heart tightened, and she thought to herself: "It's so late, why is there a noise outside? Could it be..." When she thought of this, a trace of anxiety appeared on her face, worried that the young lady had not fallen asleep yet, and the prince broke in at this time. So, Shi Liu decided to go out to see the situation to make sure everything was fine.
Shi Liu walked quickly into the courtyard, looking around, and finally found the prince in a corner. She was startled, looked around hurriedly, then walked over quickly, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I am guilty, please punish me." Shi Liu had always felt guilty about Jiang Li's injury. When she saw the prince, she immediately realized her dereliction of duty and apologized to him immediately.
Mu Jiuchen stood there steadily with his hands behind his back and his back straight, looking coldly at the person kneeling in front of him, while occasionally glancing at the flickering candlelight in the room.
"You belong to her, and she has the final say on whether you should be punished or not. Go and report it!" Mu Jiuchen said in a cold tone, and then he no longer paid attention to Shi Liu, but continued to focus his attention on the house.
When Shi Liu heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She felt very guilty because she had never been punished or blamed since the young lady got into trouble. Now even the prince knew that the young lady was a kind person, so he would not cross the line to punish her.
Shi Liu stood up and went into the house to report.
"Miss, a guest has arrived."
After hearing the voice, Jiang Li put down the sketchbook in his hand and looked up at Shi Liu.
"A visitor? At this time. Who?"
Shi Liu smiled and said excitedly: "The prince is back in Beijing!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li sat up straight and asked in surprise, "You said, the Regent King is back?"
Pomegranate nodded and pointed outside, indicating that the person was outside.
Jiang Li was so excited that she almost stood up. Fortunately, Shi Liu was quick to support her.
"Shi Liu, come and help me up." Jiang Li prepared to get up and walk out.
Pomegranate asked with some concern: "Miss, can you move your feet?"
Jiang Li smiled confidently: "Don't worry, it's fine now. Hurry up."
With Shi Liu's support, Jiang Li finally walked to the outer room and sat down.
Only then did Shi Liu feel relieved and went out to invite Mu Jiuchen in.
When Mu Jiuchen came in, he saw Jiang Li sitting on a round stool. Her face looked a little paler under the candlelight, and she looked very weak sitting there in a white dress.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Jiang Li was about to stand up and salute, and Shi Liu hurried over to support her.
"No need to be so polite, just sit down." Mu Jiuchen was reluctant to let her stand up and salute, so Shi Liu went out to guard at Mu Jiuchen's signal.
Mu Jiuchen also sat down and then noticed the wound on her forehead, frowning. He unconsciously reached out his hand, and just when his hand was about to touch her, Jiang Li raised her head back.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help it." Mu Jiuchen also felt that he was a little too anxious.
"Does it still hurt? What did the doctor say? Will it leave scars?" Jiang Li was a little surprised by the series of questions, but he still answered them one by one.
Seeing her so obedient, Mu Jiuchen was very happy. Seeing her weak appearance, he couldn't help but want to care for her. So, he asked gently: "Are you feeling any worse? Do you want to call a doctor to check it out?"
Jiang Li smiled gratefully and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am much better now."
Mu Jiuchen felt relieved after hearing her words. He looked at Jiang Li again, his eyes fell on the wound on her forehead, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Will the wound on the forehead leave a scar?"
"The doctor said it's not a big problem. Even if it leaves a scar, it'll only be a small one." Jiang Li said this, but Mu Jiuchen frowned even more tightly.
"I have a box of scar-healing gel that I'll have delivered tomorrow. It can help scars heal faster." He paused, then added, "Speaking of which, I was responsible for your injury this time."
Jiang Li was a little puzzled after hearing this, and looked at him in confusion, not knowing why he said that. "Where did you get this from?" She couldn't help but ask.
