Li Xiao never thought that she would fall asleep in the carriage.
She was also a fifteen-year-old person.
The last time she cried herself to sleep in the arms and shoulders of her mother or brother.
It was probably many, many years ago.
But now, she actually fell asleep in the carriage, and she was carried out by Lord Chen.
She slept soundly in his arms and did not wake up …
How could this be?
How could this be!
She had a blushing disease.
Several hours had passed, but it did not subside on its own.
…
"Hiss … Who was the person who told him how to use his superpower?" Wang Yi pondered as the doctor bandaged his hand.
He could not think of it even if he wanted to.
There was definitely no such person in the House of Ge.
"I asked you to find out who Li Ru brought to the House of Ge that day.
Have you found out? "Chen Jue's injury had been bandaged, and he was wearing a robe at the moment.
He sat at the side of the table, and his expression was very bad.
He drank the Chinese medicine that the doctor had brewed for him.
He reviewed everything that had happened today with his subordinates.
"Sir, are you saying … that person might be Li Ru?" Wang Yi.
"…" Chen Jue thought for a moment and said, "Maybe.
You should recuperate.
I'll ask someone else to investigate. "
"It's okay, it's all superficial injuries.
Ouch — "Wang Yi was speaking when the doctor bandaged him.
The doctor who was bandaging his wound exerted some force, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
"… Then you can investigate tomorrow." Chen Jue was rarely patient.
He tolerated his subordinates not to carry out the mission immediately.
"Yes, sir." Wang Yi replied.
He turned around and looked at the soft couch behind him.
Xu Ting was asleep on the soft couch.
The blood on his face had been wiped clean.
The clothes on his body were still the same as before.
"Xu Ting can't go on like this. He's powerful, but I'm afraid his body can't take it," Wang Yi said worriedly.
"If he goes on like this, his health will fail in less than two years," the doctor interjected.
He was the senior imperial physician of Dali Monastery and was personally appointed by the Emperor.
Whenever the Dali Monastery needed treatment, the Dali Monastery's treatment would be prioritized.
When Wang Yi heard this, his expression became even more bitter.
Li Xiao pursed her lips and turned to look at Xu Ting. She then looked at Wang Yi and Chen Jue's worried expressions. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't dare to speak.
When she was young, her mother had taught her how to regulate her body and the use of her abilities, and how to prevent herself from getting injured from using her abilities.
She and her brother both knew how to control their abilities and how to use them freely.
Should he teach it to Lord Xu?
However, how was she going to teach Lord Xu without exposing herself?
"Every person who was injured or killed had a conflict with Miss Ge.
Miss Ge didn't like those ladies who were obsessed with drugs, "Zhang Tang answered as he sorted through the dossier.
"Hmm … That's loyal," Chen Jue said coldly.
When Li Xiao heard this, she thought of the way Ban Xia looked at Miss Ge and the words he said before he died. She couldn't help but shiver.
How was that just loyalty?
That kind of strong feeling was a feeling that made Li Xiao a little confused.
How could someone be willing to go to such extremes for another person?
However, just as she thought of this, she remembered that Su King killed his wife …
Then, she remembered that every time she encountered danger during the process of solving a case, Lord Chen would resolutely and immediately step forward. He never retreated or hesitated because of the danger.
Why did he do that?
Because he promised her that he would protect her.
Or because he was an upright, brave, and great person?
As she thought of this, Li Xiao's face inexplicably became even hotter.
"Dong!" Lord Chen knocked on the table again.
Li Xiao looked up instinctively, as if she was a pet that was trained by her master.
"Water," Chen Jue said without turning his head.
Although he didn't mention her name, Li Xiao had already stood up consciously and picked up the kettle to boil water.
After a good night's sleep, she was probably in the best condition among this group of people.
…
Yunshu Academy.
It was a break today.
Li Ru looked at the sky. It had just cleared up for a while, but now it was covered by dark clouds. She was afraid that it would rain soon.
Just as she turned around, a person suddenly appeared out of thin air.
When he saw Li Ru, he ran happily towards Li Ru.
He was obviously the height of an adult, but his face was full of a child's smile. It was bright and unreserved.
Li Ru wasn't surprised to see him. Even if he saw him appear out of thin air, it was only natural.
"Sir …" The young man's face was as white as jade. He was elegant and good-looking, and his facial features were exquisite and beautiful.
How could such a face be on a boy's face?
His innocent eyes also showed that he wasn't a normal person.
There wasn't a trace of maturity on his face.
Li Ru reached out and patted him on the head. The young man lowered his head and happily enjoyed being treated by Li Ru.
Li Ru's actions were definitely not something a young man would allow.
"Don't run around. Be good."
Li Ru pulled him to sit by the pond and said gently, "Sir is off today. Shall I take you out for a walk?"
"Okay, okay." The young man was in high spirits.
Li Ru smiled. "Then you have to promise me that you won't use your powers."
"Okay, okay." The young man nodded like he was pounding garlic.
"Ah Zhao is such a good boy. Sir will take you to eat sweet cakes," Li Ru said.
"Yay!" Ah Zhao was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Li Ru looked at Ah Zhao. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were full of sadness.
… … …
The closing of this case was much easier. After all, the murderer was just a servant.
But there was still a lot of work to be done.
Chen Jue wasn't afraid of trouble when it came to solving cases. He would investigate the most minute details and spend a lot of effort to dig deeper.
But when it came to cleaning up the mess …
"This case is already closed. What does it have to do with the Ministry of War?
Assistant Minister Fang of the Ministry of War sent a memorial to accuse me?
Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey? "
Chen Jue unhappily threw a memorial on Zhang Tang's table as he ate the fruit that Li Xiao had cut for him.
When the emperor sent a eunuch to give this to him in the morning, he couldn't believe it.
The Ministry of War cared too much. Were they crazy?
"Sir … in Ban Xia's case, the last victim killed by Ban Xia was Minister Fang's second daughter," Zhang Tang tried his best to help Chen Jue recall and endured Chen Jue's anger patiently.
He was so pitiful.
"Minister Qian's daughter drowned Minister Fang's daughter in the pool," Zhang Tang thought for a moment and added, "… under the control of Ban Xia."
"Minister Fang said that I was misleading the public and helped Minister Qian's daughter get off the hook?" Chen Jue took another bite of fruit. He was recuperating now, so he didn't have to go to court.
The memorial was sent to him by the emperor this morning along with the eunuch.
It was also a reward for solving this case.
The emperor's attitude was very clear. 'Although some people doubted you and even gave you a memorial, I believe you!'
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Tang nodded.
"Hmph."
Chen Jue stretched out his arm and picked up the memorial from the Ministry of War. Then, he raised his hand and threw it out of the door.
"Ah …" Zhang Tang's heart thumped as he watched the memorial fly out.
That was the memorial from the Ministry of War's Minister Fang!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up and ran out to pick it up.
When Zhang Tang picked up the memorial and walked to the door, he saw Chen Jue glaring at him unhappily.
Lord Chen leaned in the middle of the hall and looked at him coldly.
Early in the morning, Lord Chen moved a chair to Zhang Tang's table and sat down. Zhang Tang couldn't stop tidying up the files in the morning.
He also had to wait on Lord Chen's mood.
'Is he here to be an official?
Or is he here to be a nanny? '
Zhang Tang was very confused about his position.
Under Chen Jue's stare, Zhang Tang held the memorial and was in a dilemma.
But … how could he just throw away the memorial from the Ministry of War's Minister?
If Minister Fang found out and made a fuss …
"Burn it!" Chen Jue waved his hand and said unhappily.
After that, he hurriedly looked around and asked the guard at the door, Zhang Long, "Where's Li Xiao?
She's been busy since early in the morning. Why don't I see her? "
When she was in the carriage with him in the morning, she lowered her head and acted like a little wife.
What was she up to this time?
"Sir, she said that you didn't eat much breakfast this morning, so she went to buy desserts from Fuxiang Restaurant for you," Zhang Long said.
"She went out alone?" Chen Jue frowned. Didn't she know how attractive she looked?
Why did she go out?
"Zhao Hu took her there," Zhang Long hurriedly answered.
"Mm." Chen Jue nodded.
Chen Jue raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun outside was extremely hot.
It was so early in the morning. Why was the sun so hot?
Wasn't she afraid of getting a tan if she went out in this kind of weather?
Why did she buy desserts?!
Did she know what he liked to eat?
Chen Jue's shoulder hurt badly, and the injury on his arm hadn't healed yet. Yesterday, he ran and fought with her, so his whole body was still sore.
He tapped his fingers on the table and kept looking out in annoyance.
He didn't realize that he was so annoyed when he didn't see the little girl for a while.
Instead, he kept complaining in his heart. This stupid girl, she didn't even tell me that she was going out.
Mao Zhangqi, right?
She's out of control!
… … …
Li Xiao, who was being nagged, didn't know that she was about to be scolded harshly.
She was sitting in the carriage, holding a box of pastries and stroking it happily.
She used her own salary to buy these for Lord Chen.
She thanked him for saving her. She thanked him for not abandoning her in times of crisis.
She leaned against the carriage, Dali Temple Yamen's carriage. Under her butt was a thick cushion, and behind her was also a soft cushion.
Even the bumps of the carriage during the journey were very weak.
The most precious thing was this peace of mind.
She had someone to protect and take care of her.
Although she didn't know Lord Chen very well, she had an inexplicable certainty. It was as if … even if she cried and threw a tantrum, Lord Chen wouldn't really abandon her.
Thinking of this, her face flushed red.
She lowered her head and was a little worried. What if it was just her naive thoughts?
What if one day she really made Lord Chen angry and annoyed Lord Chen?
Moreover, she had caused Lord Chen to suffer so many injuries.
For the past two days, she couldn't raise her head in front of Lord Chen. She felt … so sorry …
She reached out and touched the box of pastries again.
This box was really beautiful. The pastries in such a beautiful box must be even more delicious.
She didn't know if Lord Chen liked them. Mammy Chen said that he loved sweets. It was just that he had eaten less in recent years.
She didn't know … if Lord Chen would give her a few pieces when he ate them …
She … she really couldn't bear to buy another box.
She didn't know if she could eat them together.
Lord Chen shouldn't be a stingy person. Maybe … she could eat two pieces.
Li Xiao thought and carefully weighed the box. There were many pieces in it.
Lord Chen definitely couldn't finish them all alone …
While she was thinking, the carriage suddenly shook.
Li Xiao subconsciously held the box in her hands. The next moment, the curtain of the carriage lifted and a person quickly got into the carriage.
"Ah!" Li Xiao exclaimed.
"It's me."
The person entered the carriage and quickly sat opposite her. Although his face was still pale and his lips were still blue.
At least … his seven orifices were no longer bleeding.
