Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 506 It's Time to Close the Net

Doctor Chen heard about this incident when he returned to the Imperial Hospital. After hearing the words, he was slightly stunned, and smiled and comforted his colleagues who were forced to make a fuss because of An Guiren's recklessness, "It's also... But it's true."

"Xiao Chen's temper is just too soft... I've never been angry before."

"No, I heard that Imperial Physician Chen's leg was dropped on the steps in front of Mrs. Angui's bedroom. Why did he fall when he was walking well? And how could it be such a coincidence? Imperial Physician Chen, maybe you were killed People have been killed!"

"That's right, these harem concubines don't have a simple role!"

Imperial physician Chen still sat on the stool with a smile, took the water glass handed over by his colleague, thanked him with a smile, and said, "I didn't offend Mrs. An, she has no reason to bully a little imperial physician like me, right? It’s just that I didn’t look at the road when I went out, and I accidentally fell, so don’t talk nonsense... If it spreads to the nobleman’s ears, it’s just for nothing that the nobleman misses it and suffers..."

At the end of the speech, the colleagues who had been complaining or fanning the flames all shut up, "Forget it, everything is over there, why are you talking about it? I'm afraid I will arrange someone to go to His Majesty's duty again in the next two days or so." ……Why!"

Imperial Physician Chen rubbed his forehead in embarrassment, "I'm hurt at this time, I'm really, really sorry...I can't help you."

He has to be carried when he walks, so naturally it is impossible to wait in front of the emperor like this.

However, although his medical skills are not superb on weekdays, he is kind and friendly. Whenever someone has a small trouble, he will be willing to help. Therefore, he has accumulated a lot of friendship in the Tai Hospital over the years. Some people would argue with him and pat him on the shoulder instead, "Take care of them! Those women in the harem are full of moths. There may be more things like this in the future, and some of them are when you are tormenting you..."

Imperial Physician Chen smiled innocently, thanking her while touching her head.

In fact, he naturally imagined that the place where he wrestled was on the steps outside the palace gate. People come and go every day, and the palace people clean it every day. How could there be such a thing as loose bricks and stones? It happened to be the day when I entered the palace.Coincidence as coincidental as it gets... usually isn't a coincidence.

It's just that he has never offended any forces in the harem... In addition, Mr. An came from Zuoxiang's mansion, so he quickly guessed the reason behind it. He was just a chess piece that was restrained and blocked, and their ultimate goal was obvious. It's the Ji family.

After he figured it out, he just didn't know, telling everyone that he had fallen carelessly.After getting along with each other these days, he probably understood Miss Ji's temperament a little bit, protecting her weaknesses, and couldn't bear others to be dragged by her... However, when confronted with Zuo Xiangfu, Miss Ji was weak after all.

In comparison, his own injury is insignificant.

……

In the afternoon, the weather cleared up, and the sun shone warmly on the street that had been washed clean by several days of heavy rain. Even the leaves seemed to be shining, and the whole world was soft and bright.

When Ji Wuyan appeared at the door of Ning Xiuyuan's study with a small ebony box, he was not stopped by anyone. In the yard of the study, only Xi Yu was guarding it. There are no servants.Seeing Ji Wuyan, Xi Yu saluted without speaking, opened his mouth again, but still didn't say anything.

It's just that it's too obvious to look at Ji Wuyan hesitantly and then at the door of the study.

Xi Yu and Cen Yan have similar temperaments, they are usually a bit unreliable, and there is no distinction between upper and lower levels. It is rare to be so cautious. She smiled and asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Our lord..." Xi Yu pointed into it, her voice lowered, "My lord has been a little sluggish since yesterday, but this morning the servant made a lot of noise in the yard, and was scolded by him... Let’s guess, it’s probably related to the loss of the string of coral beads on his wrist, after you go in, persuade him.”

Ji Wuyan tightened the small ebony box in his hand, and nodded.

Xi Yu saluted again before stepping back.

The normally carefree man showed a reliable side when facing his master who was in a bad mood.

Ji Wuyan knocked on the door, and it took a long time for a sleepy voice to come from inside, "Come in..." Lazily, the voice became deeper and more lazy.

Pushing open the door and entering, the light in the room was a bit dim. Ji Wuyan looked around, only to see Ning Xiuyuan sitting by the window with his eyes closed and rested.

"What's the matter..." Ning Xiuyuan slowly opened his eyes to look at the sight of the approaching person, and was slightly taken aback. His eyes were stained with a small smile, and he stretched out his hand towards Ji Wuyan, "Why are you here?"

There was a smile in his eyes, but there was still a bit of fatigue on his face, and he stretched out his hands lazily, but his body didn't move.

"Come here to see you, I heard from Xi Yu that you...are not energetic?"

"No. Thinking about something..."

"I got very angry in the morning and scolded the servants who made noise in the yard."

"...He tells you everything." Even though he said that, he didn't mean to blame him at all, he just held the other person's hand and let her sit beside him, then smiled lazily, "It's okay... ...I just didn't sleep well at night, thinking about how to avenge you."

revenge?

"Where is Li Yuqi?" Ji Wuyan looked down at his clean wrist, with gentle brows and eyes, got up and walked behind him, pressing Ning Xiuyuan's temple, "Li Yuqi is not in a hurry at this moment, There will always be a chance. But you, for him to sleep well, isn't it worth the loss."

Her fingertips were slightly cool, but her technique was gentle, and it fell on her temples like the touch of fine silk.

Ning Xiuyuan's eyes fell on the sycamore tree outside the window, watching the swaying tree shadow in the breeze shake the sunlight into broken golden brilliance, he narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous light, and whispered, "Once again, Again and again, he has been allowed to jump around for too long. Now it's time for the dust to settle on many things... It's time to close the net."

Receiving the net... It's not a strange word, but at the moment when a courtier uses it on the crown prince of a country, it always feels a bit weird... and a bit treasonous.

Ji Wuyan looked down at Ning Xiuyuan.

From her point of view, she couldn't see Ning Xiuyuan's eyes, or even his expression clearly. The sun fell on his face, and the usually cold and clear man seemed to suddenly have warmth.

Ji Wuyan felt inexplicably... at this moment, Ning Xiuyuan looked like a hunter waiting for an opportunity.And the prey he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared within his hunting range...
