Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was half true. After Ning Yue arrived at the Prince Jin’s Residence from the shop, the leader of the refugees and a few accomplices were still hiding in the dark.
When Jiang Ying appeared, the group of people suddenly rushed up. Their goal was clear. One was her, and the other was Jiang Ying.
The two of them were caught off guard. Although Baili and the other guards reacted quickly, they were not as fast as this group of people. Ning Yue was stabbed.
Originally, this sword was aimed at Ning Yue’s heart. When Ning Yue realized that she wanted to dodge, it was already too late.
She could only avoid her vital points, but Ning Yue did not expect the sword to cut her throat a little.
Fortunately, she was a doctor. After she stopped the bleeding, the wound was fine.
It wasn’t a vital wound, and the wound wasn’t deep. It didn’t cut her windpipe or esophagus. This was a blessing in disguise.
After the wound was treated, Ning Yue did not choose to bandage it. However, after applying the medicine, she kept it dry. This would be beneficial to her recovery.
However, as she did not bandage her wound, Ning Yue’s wound looked a little scary.
Seeing this, Jiang Ying couldn’t help but ask, “Yueyue, are you going to leave it open like this? Aren’t you going to bandage it?”
“I’m fine,” Ning Yue said.
In ancient times, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the environment was not polluted. There was no contamination. Instead, it was good for the recovery of her wounds.
Although Jiang Ying was worried, Ning Yue had already said that she was fine, so he believed her.
Just as Jiang Ying was about to say something, a sharp voice suddenly sounded. When they listened carefully, they realized that the emperor was here. The two of them hurriedly looked over. Ning Yue was even more embarrassed and hurriedly took out a clean scarf from her space.
The moment the emperor arrived, he saw the thick thing around Ning Yue’s neck. He frowned and asked Ning Yue, “Is the weather too cold?”
Ning Yue was a little embarrassed. It was not good to show the wound on her neck to others, not to mention that this person was the emperor!
“Brother, Yueyue was injured on her neck, so she used a scarf to cover it,” Jiang Ying explained.
Hearing Jiang Ying’s words, the emperor frowned even more.
“I’ve brought the doctors and good medicine from the palace. I’ll take a look at your condition first. As a girl, you shouldn’t leave any scars on your neck,” the emperor said.
“Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. You have forgotten that I’m a doctor myself. I can treat myself. I’m almost done, so there’s no need for these doctors to see me,” Ning Yue said with a smile.
The emperor nodded and did not insist on this question. He continued, “Then you should accept the medicine I brought, right?”
Ning Yue smiled and replied to the emperor, “Thank you, Your Highness. I’ll accept these medicines.”
The emperor continued to ask the two of them about the refugees and assassins. After knowing that Ning Yue only had superficial injuries and that there were no other major problems, the emperor left.
Ning Yue sighed and sat in the living room of the prince’s residence in a daze.
Seeing this, Jiang Ying came up and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood, or is there a problem?”
Ning Yue sighed heavily and replied to Jiang Ying, “My injuries are so obvious.
They can be seen at a glance.”
“What if my family sees them and gets worried when I go back?” Ning Yue sighed again.
It turned out that Ning Yue was afraid that the Ning family would be worried. Jiang Ying thought for a moment and said, “That’s very simple. Don’t go back. Isn’t it fine to stay in Prince Jin’s residence?”
“I know this is a way, but what reason should I use?” Ning Yue asked Jiang Ying. “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Grandpa. Leave everything to me,” Jiang Ying said. Ning Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ying. Why did she feel that she had heard this before?
After thinking about it, Ning Yue finally remembered that there had been a situation where she did not return home for the night. After that, Jiang Ying went to explain the situation to the Ning family.
However, at that time, it was too late because she had been kidnapped. In addition, they did not dare to tell the Ning family that she had been kidnapped. Jiang Ying smiled and instructed Ning Yue before leaving Prince Jin’s Residence for the Marquis of Dingyuan’s Residence.
Jiang Ying called Old Master Ning over and briefly explained the situation of the refugees. Of course, he did not tell Old Master Ning about Ning Yue’s injuries.
“Grandpa, Yueyue wants to help those refugees with me. She’ll probably only be back in a week,” Jiang Ying said.
When Old Master Ning heard this, he sighed heavily. “Be careful on the way..”
