PNB Chapter 171: Taking Life Seriously
Chapter 171: Taking Life Seriously
On the return carriage, Xiao Yier fell asleep in Shu He's arms, with tears on her face.
Even when she fell asleep, her two hands were still tightly grasping Shu He's clothes, as if she was afraid that Shu He would disappear if she let go.
Shu He touched Xiao Yier's cheek and blamed himself.
"I'm sorry, I got this kid into trouble."
On the other side of the carriage, Baili Moqing looked depressed, with a hint of self-blame in his eyes.
Shu He glanced at him.
She actually felt a little resentful towards him, blaming him for letting others know his preference for Xiao Yier and using Xiao Yier as a tool to deal with him.
However, she also knew that if he had not left to look for her, he would never let Yi'er be taken away under any circumstances.
So this matter cannot be blamed entirely on him.
But reason is reason. After all, Xiao Yi'er suffered this disaster because of him. She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and couldn't just ignore it. Fortunately, Yi'er didn't suffer any abuse at the hands of the eldest princess, otherwise, she would never forgive him!
I won't forgive myself...
Seeing her expression of indifference and obvious resentment, he felt even more depressed. He suddenly felt that Zhu Zifeng's acupuncture was too lenient! She deserved a caning! It would be best if she was beaten so that she would never appear in front of him again!
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, he had to find a topic to talk about. "Beiji is injured. When you go back later, you can take a look at him."
Shu He looked up, "Beiji is injured?"
When they came back from the Valley outside the Mountain, he was not injured, but now he is injured, which means it was caused by the trip to the Princess to ask for someone.
"In the Princess's Mansion, is there anyone who can hurt Beiji?"
Seeing her anxious face, Baili Moqing's eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face.
Why didn't she ask about his injury so anxiously?
"I'm asking you a question." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shu He pushed his leg. Seeing his knee swaying with the force of her hand, she asked in confusion, "Your legs, can't you stand up?"
That shouldn't be the case. The cold poison in his body has been completely removed. Except for the fact that his internal strength may not recover so quickly for the time being, his legs should be able to stand up.
The expression on his face eased slightly after hearing this, and the coldness in his body dissipated a little.
He snorted softly, patted the place where Shu He had touched, a look of disgust on his face, "It's not the time yet."
Oh, and you have to pretend to be lame.
Shu Hebai was worried and asked unhappily, "You haven't told me who hurt Beiji yet."
"Why are you so worried about him?" Baili Moqing's face turned unnatural again. His tone was also not very good: "Remember your identity. You are a mother! Don't let your imagination run wild!"
The air in the car was tense and silent. Shu He stared at him, feeling an endless sense of disappointment and loss.
It turned out that in his eyes, her identity was so shameful.
Looking at those eyes with distinct pupils, the clarity overflowed, as if there were spring water flowing. They were clearly a pair of clean and flawless eyes, so why did he feel a little flustered at this moment?
He lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in them, and formally answered her question, "There is a man beside my aunt named Yi Zong, who was once the top master of the Beidi royal family."
A Beidi expert? How could he appear beside the eldest princess?
Oh, the eldest princess once married into the Northern Di clan. It was only after the Northern Di clan was defeated five years ago that the eldest princess was able to return.
The princess who was married off to a foreign country and became a concubine was able to return to her own country while the emperor was still alive.
Haha, this eldest princess is the first person in history.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped and a crying sound was heard outside the carriage.
Shu He was puzzled and lifted the curtain of the car, only to see a group of people gathered outside, talking about something.
"What's the matter?" Baili Moqing asked.
Zhenli, sitting outside the carriage, replied, "Your Majesty, it seems that an old man is lying on the street covered in blood."
"Old man?" Shu He glanced at the courtyard across the street, and it turned out to be Yang You's mansion!
Her expression changed slightly and she quickly got out of the car.
Baili Moqing frowned slightly and opened the curtain of the carriage. Zhenli saw him and turned around to look at him, "Your Majesty?"
"Zhenli, go with me and take a look."
"Yes."
When Shu He walked through the crowd and saw the old man on the ground, the expression on his face instantly turned cold.
She had met this old man once before.
He was the old man who came to the military mansion to look for his daughter last time but was captured and taken into the mansion by Yang You.
His clothes were tattered and bloodstained, and his exposed skin was covered in either knife wounds or whip wounds. He lay on the street, barely breathing, but no one came forward to help.
"Old man!"
She quickly stepped forward, wanting to check on him, but she was still holding Xiao Yier in her arms, so it was a little inconvenient for her to move.
Seeing this, Zhenli took the initiative to step forward and take Yi'er from her arms.
Shu He was a little hesitant. She really didn't want to let Yi'er go, but at this moment, the old man's life was in danger, so she could only force herself to hand little Yi'er to Zhenli.
Xiao Yier let out a moan, a hint of fear showing on her sleeping face.
Seeing this, Baili Moqing shouted to Zhenli, "Send Xiao Yier to the car."
Apart from Shu He, Xiao Yier relies most on Baili Moqing.
Sure enough, when the little guy was in his arms, his eyes and eyebrows relaxed again and he fell into a deep sleep.
Shu He squatted down to feel the old man's pulse, but found that he was very weak. Coupled with his injuries, his pulse was sluggish and weak, almost undetectable!
She quickly took out the silver needle and protected the old man's heart meridian, allowing him to hold on a little longer. After withdrawing the needle, she shouted to Zhen Li, "Quick, take this old man back!"
If he is not treated properly, I am afraid that this old man will not survive today.
Shu He's words made the crowd explode.
"What? How dare she bring this guy home? Is she trying to kill herself?"
When Shu He heard this, she was puzzled when she saw an uncle in thin cloth clothes came forward and stopped her.
"Girl, you can't!"
The uncle was probably in his forties, with a dark complexion, showing the brunt of years of exposure to the sun and wind. His face was filled with worry and even a hint of fear: "You absolutely cannot touch this man!"
"Uncle, why is this?"
Shu He was puzzled. This was a life! If they didn't want to take care of it, wouldn't they let others do it?
"Miss, you don't know this guy was thrown out from the Military Officer's Mansion. The people there said that anyone who dares to help him would be going against Military Officer Yang, and their fate would be as miserable as Old Yang's!"
Shu He's brows suddenly showed a fierce look. Yang You, you want this old man to die in front of the people, to make an example of him!
"Miss, you're not from Beisha City, are you?" the uncle asked, a flicker of relief on his face, but beneath the relief, a deep sense of despair remained. "Kindness is a good thing, but in Beisha City, it's not necessarily a good thing."
"Yes, girl, you should leave now! If the people from the Military Office see you helping this old man, you'll be implicated!"
Zhen Li stood behind Shu He, his expression growing grim as he listened. "A mere soldier dares to take human life in public?"
This is the city that the prince led the Chengfeng Army to recapture with great effort. How come it has become like this now?
