Chapter 75 Don’t let anyone know except you
Lin Xin took a deep breath and pulled a chair to sit down beside the bed. "Let me talk about you first. How did you get yourself into this state? Didn't I give you something to save your life?"

Mo Ziyuan was silent for a moment. How was he going to tell Lin Xin that he had been so stunned by the overwhelming vines that he couldn't dodge the arrows fired from the opposite side?
"What? Are they that powerful?" Lin Xin frowned. If that was the case, then she would have to reconsider going to Beijing again. There was no need to ruin herself because of other people's affairs.

Mo Ziyuan probably understood what she meant, licked his lips and told her the truth.

Lin Xin nearly choked to death on her saliva. She looked at Mo Ziyuan speechlessly, not knowing how to react.

"Well, you just said it was something that could save lives, but you didn't say the scene would be so shocking! I was completely scared!" Mo Ziyuan said a little aggrievedly, irritated by Lin Xin's look of looking at him like a fool.

"Come on! Didn't I tell you to throw it away and run away? Don't look back? You didn't listen to me, and now you dare to put the blame on me?" Lin Xin felt guilty for a moment, but quickly refuted back, saying that she couldn't take the blame.

The two discussed the ownership of the pot for a few more sentences and then returned to the previous topic.

"It's not impossible for me to go to the capital, but I don't know the prince, and he won't hand the child over to me. That's one thing. And what if I'm wrong and the child I bring back isn't the emperor's grandson?" Lin Xin laid out the reality of the problem.

"As long as you agree to go, I will go with you." Mo Ziyuan said.

"No!" Lin Xin immediately objected.

What a joke! Look at his current condition, he can hardly sit up. She doesn't dare to drive him to Beijing overnight. The road is bumpy, and his wound will be bigger than his mouth, and he will bleed to death!
"Then what do you think we should do?" Mo Ziyuan finally threw the question back to Lin Xin.

Lin Xin: ...

"Okay, since you are not afraid of death, then I don't care. I will go back and take care of Nan Nan, and we will set off tomorrow night." Lin Xin thought that since they had to go anyway, they might as well go early!
"Okay!" Mo Ziyuan agreed immediately.

"Also, don't let anyone except you know this, otherwise I will kill all of you." Lin Xin bared her teeth at Mo Ziyuan.

"Okay, we won't tell them." Mo Ziyuan was almost overwhelmed by her cute appearance, and his voice became much gentler involuntarily.

"Hmph, I'll believe you for now!" Lin Xin said, and walked away without looking back.

After leaving the room, several soldiers were waiting in the yard. When they saw Lin Xin coming out, they all surrounded her.

Lin Xin noticed that the expressions on their faces were very strange. They looked happy, worried, and even a little... excited?
“What are you doing…?”

"Miss Lin, Grand Tutor Feng is dead. He was killed by Ziyuan." Gao Yong said excitedly, but this time his voice was quite low.

"Really? Congratulations on making your dream come true," said Lin Xin.

"Hey," Gao Yong scratched his head, "By the way, why did Ziyuan ask you to come in?"

"Well," Lin Xin smiled, "you can ask him!"

"Hey, keep it a secret from me. I'll go ask Ziyuan right now." Gao Yong was about to go into the house when Chu Yu grabbed him and said, "Where are you going? Ziyuan is injured. Let Elder Cui take a look at him first."

"Oh, yes, we have to show him." Several grown men followed Cui Shi into the room and watched him carefully cut open Mo Ziyuan's clothes, revealing the wound on his abdomen.

Because he had only applied medicine and bandaged it briefly after being injured, and he had rushed back from the capital on horseback, the wound had been torn apart and looked extremely hideous, but the expressions of the people present did not change at all. Each of them had suffered injuries of this degree more than once and had long been accustomed to it.

Cui Shi cleaned his wound, re-applied medicine and bandaged it, then looked at his pale face. "The injury isn't serious, and the location of the injury isn't fatal. It's just that the bleeding is a bit excessive, and the wound is quite torn. I've already taken care of it for you. Stay out of bed for the time being. Just stay in bed and recuperate. It's nothing serious."

"Hey, it turns out it's not a big deal! It's all the fault of that old guy Fu Jing. He made it sound so serious that I thought you were about to die. I was so scared!" Gao Yong loudly accused Fu Jing of making a fuss.

"Listen to what you are saying. It's better if you're fine!" Chu Yu was the one responsible for manually muting Gao Yong's microphone.

"By the way, what did you look for Miss Lin for? I asked her just now but she didn't tell me. So we asked you to tell us the truth!" Ling Qing poked his head out from behind Gao Yong and Chu Yu and asked.

"Yes, why do we have to keep everything mysterious? A real man won't be straightforward at all!" Chu Yu agreed.

"Nothing, I just asked her if she could help me find another century-old ginseng. The old man of the Bai family fell ill a few days ago and needs a century-old ginseng as medicine." Mo Ziyuan said without blushing or panting.

"Mr. Bai is sick? Is his condition very bad?" Zhou Qi asked with a frown.

"I didn't ask for details, but I don't think it's serious. Otherwise, they wouldn't just go out and ask if anyone has ginseng, but would go to every household with silver notes to beg for it."

Zhou Qi nodded, agreeing with him.

"Oh! Mr. Bai can't be in any danger! If he falls again, the prince will be even more isolated and powerless." Chu Yu sighed.

"Do we have to just stay in this godforsaken place and wait?" Gao Yong slammed his fist on the table, causing the kettle, cups and other items on it to jump up.

"Just be quiet, kid. You must know why our family went to so much trouble to send us out here. No matter how aggrieved you are, just bear with it!" Zhou Qi punched Gao Yong on the shoulder, trying to calm him down, but in the end he was so angry that his voice trembled.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? Huh? Brother Zhou, why do you look like you're about to cry?" Lin Nan walked in, carried by Lin Xin. He was stunned by everyone's expressions, and asked in confusion after seeing Zhou Qi's face.

"Who's crying? Why do you care so much about your child?" Zhou Qi was a little embarrassed by Lin Nan's exposure of his shortcomings, so he simply picked him up, threw him up hard, and caught him. At first, Lin Nan screamed in fear, but after being thrown twice, he actually liked it and kept screaming "Come again, come again!"

"Okay, what do you want more of? Don't you see how heavy you are? Do you still want Brother Zhou's arm after a few more times?" Lin Xin came over, hugged Lin Nan, and said, touching his little nose.

Lin Nan was not angry with his sister. Instead, he raised his little face obediently to make it easier for Lin Xin to poke him.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you just now, where are you injured?" Lin Xin walked to Mo Ziyuan's bed and asked.

"The wound is in the abdomen. Although it is not fatal, it is difficult to heal and I have to lie down for a few days." Cui Shi replied.
