Chapter 183: Walking in the Dark, Don’t Lose Your Heart
As soon as Wen Zhimiao went out, he was surrounded by Wen Jiuzhao and Shi Wanyue.
"It's okay, Zhou Zhou is fine, sister, don't worry." Wen Zhimiao said to Wen Jiuzhao.
"Dean Lu said that the poison has been eliminated and we will be fine as long as the fever goes down." Knowing that Wen Jiuzhao was worried, Wen Zhimiao did not hide it from her.
Wen Jiuzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Her eyes fell on Wen Zhimiao again. She had a lot more to say, but in the end she didn't say anything because she felt sorry for her.
"Are you scared?" Wen Jiuzhao asked in a gentle voice, looking at her embarrassed appearance.
Wen Zhimiao scratched his head: "A little bit."
"Hurry up and wash and change clothes. The guards have already arranged for treatment. Dean Lu also said that he would have the Imperial Hospital do its best. A-Yao's injury was personally treated by Dean Lu, so she is no longer in danger."
Wen Zhimiao smiled at Wen Jiuzhao: "Thank you, sister."
"Why are you being so polite to my sister?" Wen Jiuzhao reached out and rubbed her head.
She looked at Shi Wanyue who was still worried beside her and smiled: "Okay, Wanyue is worried about you too, take her to rest."
Wen Zhimiao nodded obediently: "Well, then sister, don't be too busy."
"Ah."
Wen Zhimiao turned around and gave Shi Wanyue a silly smile.
Shi Wanyue took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand: "Okay, go and rest."
Wen Zhimiao was pulled by Shi Wanyue back to her own bedroom.
Seeing Wen Zhimiao's dirty and disheveled appearance, as well as the scratches on his arms, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "You said you weren't injured."
"I did it myself. I wasn't injured by a sharp blade, so it doesn't count."
"Okay, go wash up." Shi Wanyue urged her.
Wen Zhimiao looked at her with a smile: "Sister, do you want to join us?"
Shi Wanyue felt a little uncomfortable: "No need."
"Come on~Sister hasn't accompanied me to take a bath for a long time." Wen Zhimiao was a little unhappy.
"What's wrong with us being girls?" Wen Zhimiao leaned on her and acted coquettishly.
Shi Wanyue's face turned a little red.
"Okay, sister, can you just keep me company?" Wen Zhimiao rubbed her.
Seeing that Shi Wanyue still didn't say anything, he pointed at the place on her body that he had rubbed dirty and said, "If it's dirty, you have to change it too."
Shi Wanyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but finally she gave in to her request.
However, during the bath, she didn't dare to look at Wen Zhimiao even once.
After bathing, another maid came to help Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue dry their hair.
But Wen Zhimiao couldn't wait that long, so she combed her hair when it was half dry.
"I still have to go check on A-Yao and Rui-Tong, as well as the guards. That's enough. I'll be done in a moment."
She was too anxious, so Shi Wanyue had no choice but to accompany her.
She just took the cakes that the maids had prepared before bathing and forced a few pieces into Wen Zhimiao's mouth.
After Wen Zhimiao finished eating those pieces of cake, he felt a little better in his stomach.
"Thank you sister."
"Okay, go ahead."
Wen Zhimiao first ran to check on He Yuanyao and Bian Ruitong. Bian Ruitong was not seriously injured, but was too tired. He had just finished playing football and had been chased all the way, so it was normal for him to be exhausted.
If it weren't for the guilt in his heart, Wen Zhimiao would have fallen asleep long ago.
He Yuanyao's injuries were more serious. Although the poison in his body had been cleared, he was still in a coma with a high fever, just like Yun Zhou. He had just taken medicine and needed to stay in the Imperial Hospital for observation.
The injuries of the other guards were even more serious.
Wen Zhimiao took a look and felt a little sorry for some of them.
But even though she couldn't bear it, she still took a look around.
She knew the cruelty of this world, she even knew it when Su Qingluo ascended the throne a few years ago.
But feeling it personally again, Wen Zhimiao still felt a little confused and melancholy.
Shi Wanyue seemed to know her confusion and had been staying with her since they came out of the camp.
She held Wen Zhimiao's hand tightly, allowing Wen Zhimiao to feel the warmth from her body and the feeling that someone was accompanying her.
"Sister, I want to drink."
"No." Shi Wanyue rejected her directly.
"Then I want some skewers." Wen Zhimiao said dejectedly.
"it is good."
The two men came to the small kitchen of Zhangtai Palace and asked the staff there to help take out the grill.
Just the two of them sat there grilling skewers.
Wen Zhimiao said nothing, just remained silent. Shi Wanyue accompanied her to grill skewers and watched her eat.
When Su Qingluo came over, Wen Jiuzhao was also at the door.
When Wen Jiuzhao saw Su Qingluo, he was about to salute, but Su Qingluo waved her hand and said, "No need."
"Miao Miao is in there?"
"Your Majesty, yes." Wen Jiuzhao answered truthfully.
"How's your condition?" Su Qingluo asked again.
"She's a little absent-minded. Wanyue is with her." Wen Jiuzhao sighed after he finished speaking, "She may feel that what happened today was caused by her."
As if to verify her words, Wen Zhimiao in the courtyard suddenly asked Shi Wanyue in confusion: "Sister, shouldn't I run around Yunjing City so recklessly? If I stayed in the palace honestly, there wouldn't be so many problems, right?"
Shi Wanyue moved her lips, then shook her head at Wen Zhimiao very seriously: "No."
"Miao Miao, it's not your fault. You handled the situation quickly today, so no civilians were affected, and there were no stampedes caused by excessive chaos."
"Yunjing City is the capital of Tianqi. If even the princess of the current dynasty cannot walk in Yunjing, it can only mean that Yunjing's guards are really worrying."
"You are accompanied by many guards, and we have already prepared for the situation. Whether it is today or in the future, as Princess Yuan Zhao, you cannot stay in the palace forever."
"As for Zhou Zhou being injured, even if you have nothing to do with it today, the person behind the scenes will probably find a chance to assassinate Zhou Zhou. This matter has nothing to do with you."
"Miao Miao, some people want to restore their country, and some people want to disrupt Tianqi. Even if it's not you today, there will always be others in danger. As you said, different positions cannot be reconciled. In this world, some people want to build a peaceful and prosperous world, and some people want to destroy it. These people may be descendants of royal families whose countries were once destroyed, or they may be people from Beirong, Lujin, Donglan, etc., or they may be local nobles who originally controlled the vast majority of the land and population."
Su Qingluo chuckled when she heard Shi Wanyue's words to comfort Wen Zhimiao. She looked at Wen Jiuzhao and said, "Let's go. She will eventually come to her senses. Besides, there are people to counsel her. If you and I go again, it will only make her more nervous."
Wen Jiuzhao hesitated for a moment and nodded.
After walking for a while with Su Qingluo, Wen Jiuzhao suddenly asked Su Qingluo, "Your Majesty, can you let Jiuzhao be responsible for investigating this matter?"
Su Qingluo turned around and looked at her: "You?"
"Yes, Jiu Zhao wants to share the worries of His Majesty and His Highness. This assassination is definitely not that simple."
"The assassination of Miaomiao can be said to be the plot of the people of the Southern Kingdom, but the assassination of my aunt may be related to the court. It is not convenient for your majesty and Miaomiao to investigate. Jiuzhao is willing to be the person in the dark."
After Wen Jiuzhao finished speaking, he knelt down directly.
"Please investigate!"
Su Qingluo looked at her and sighed softly.
"You know Yun Zhou doesn't want you to get involved in these dirty things."
"Get up." Su Qingluo helped her up.
"But..." Wen Jiuzhao wanted to continue fighting.
"People who walk in the dark are prone to lose their way and their original intentions. I know that even if I don't let you go, you will still go to investigate. I just want to remind you not to disappoint her expectations of you."
Wen Jiuzhao looked at Su Qingluo's departing back and suddenly felt his eyes a little sore.
