PFC Chapter 39 Xie Yanli's ears suddenly turned red.
Chapter 39 Xie Yanli's ears suddenly turned red.
Qin Jiuwei's pupils constricted sharply as she watched helplessly as the arrow flew towards her.
Things happened so fast that the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Xie Yanli's expression changed drastically. At this critical moment, he immediately stepped forward and pulled Qin Jiuwei into his arms.
However, the arrow was far too swift.
Although Xie Yanli reacted extremely quickly, he still managed to cut a wound on Qin Jiuwei's shoulder.
Instantly, blood gushed out like a spring, staining Qin Jiuwei's thin clothes red.
Qin Jiu's delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed, her face turned as pale as paper, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Xie Yanli's pupils constricted, veins throbbed on his forehead, and he held Qin Jiuwei tightly in his arms.
He checked him over from head to toe and found that the arrow had not hit any vital organs. He breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were still furrowed and his eyes were full of worry and tenderness.
The crowd instantly descended into chaos, with vendors hastily grabbing their wares and fleeing.
The people from the Marquis's residence immediately surrounded them, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily for the assassin.
Xie Yanli narrowed his long, phoenix-shaped eyes and found the direction in an instant.
The next moment, he pulled out a hidden weapon from his sleeve.
With a flick of his wrist, the hidden weapon flew towards the second-floor window like an arrow.
The hidden weapon sliced through the air with a soft whooshing sound.
Immediately afterwards, a scream came from the second floor next door.
The hidden weapon pierced the black-clad man's eye with pinpoint accuracy. He clutched his eyes tightly with both hands, collapsed to the ground, and groaned in pain.
Xie Yanli's powerful aura chilled the surrounding air as he suppressed his anger and gave his orders in a deep voice.
"Catch him, alive."
After saying that, he picked Qin Jiuwei up in his arms and strode towards the nearest clinic.
Upon receiving the order, his men immediately surged towards the second floor like a tidal wave.
They were quick and well-trained, and swiftly surrounded the killer and his accomplices.
Medical clinic.
Xie Yanli carried Qin Jiuwei and strode in.
Zizhu cried out in a panic, "Doctor! Is there a doctor?"
The doctor in the inner room heard the shout and quickly came out. He saw a group of cold-faced people crowding into his clinic and was instantly terrified.
Zizhu grabbed the doctor and said urgently, "Quickly treat our young mistress."
Qin Jiuwei was placed on a round stool by Xie Yanli. Her face was pale and her forehead was covered with sweat.
She was in so much pain that she was completely weak, and she had to lean on Xie Yanli to keep from collapsing.
The doctor walked to Qin Jiuwei's side, carefully parted her clothes where the arrow had cut, and began to examine the wound.
As soon as he parted the fabric, Qin Jiuwei gasped in pain.
"Be gentle." Xie Yanli's voice was as cold and sharp as an ice sword.
The doctor trembled immediately in fright, "Yes, yes."
Qin Jiuwei gradually regained her senses, biting her lower lip and enduring the pain.
After a careful examination, the doctor found nothing serious and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He respectfully replied, "This lady's wound is not deep, and the arrow wound is not poisonous. We can apply some of the best wound medicine later."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yanli's originally cold and stern expression softened somewhat. "Bring me the wound medicine."
The doctor quickly found the wound medicine and handed it over.
"Young Master, let me apply the medicine to the young mistress."
Xiao He stepped forward and walked to Qin Jiuwei's side.
Miss, you are injured on your shoulder. You will need to take off your outer garment before applying the medicine.
It's better to leave this kind of thing to her, her personal maid.
Xie Yanli lowered his eyes in thought, then slowly nodded in agreement.
He didn't trust anyone else to apply the medicine to Qin Jiuwei.
But it wouldn't be appropriate for him to apply the medicine himself...
This clinic isn't very big, but it does have an inner room.
Qin Jiuwei and Xiaohe entered.
Xie Yanli had already dismissed all the servants outside the clinic, leaving him alone to wait outside the inner room.
Qin Jiuwei sat on the couch, her face pale and her delicate brows furrowed.
Xiao He carefully untied the ties of Qin Jiuwei's outer robe, and the robe slowly slipped off, revealing the purple strapless bra she was wearing underneath.
Xiao He gently used a clean cloth dipped in water to wipe the wound on Qin Jiuwei's shoulder, being extremely gentle with each touch, afraid of hurting her.
The blood was wiped away, revealing the wound underneath.
Xiaohe was immediately relieved when she saw the wound. "Miss, the wound is only an inch long. It should heal quickly."
Qin Jiuwei nodded slightly.
She had recovered her senses by then, and her previously pale face regained some color.
After wiping the wound, Xiaohe opened the wound medicine and sprinkled the powder on the wound.
"what."
Qin Jiuwei hadn't expected the medicine to hurt so much, and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Hearing her calls from outside, Xie Yanli's heart tightened, and he immediately rushed inside.
"What's wrong?" His voice was full of panic.
But when he stepped into the room, the scene before him stunned him instantly.
The girl's clothes were half off, and she was only wearing a tube top on her upper body, revealing her fair shoulders and collarbone. Her snow-white skin radiated a delicate glow in the soft light.
The injured shoulder was slightly red, contrasting sharply with the surrounding fair skin.
Qin Jiuwei was completely taken aback when Xie Yanli suddenly barged in, her face filled with astonishment.
Xiaohe immediately put down the medicine bottle and draped her outer garment over Qin Jiuwei's shoulders.
Xie Yanli's ears turned bright red instantly, and he quickly turned away, not daring to look at him again.
"I thought something had happened to you inside, that's why I came in."
He spoke up to explain, his usually cool voice now filled with unnaturalness.
Xiaohe immediately said, "It was when I was applying the medicine to the young mistress that I accidentally hurt her, which is why she cried out and disturbed the young master."
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Xie Yanli nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Take good care of them."
After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry, but his steps were somewhat flustered.
Xie Yanli walked outside the clinic, and the slightly cool air outside gradually brought him back to his senses.
Zizhu led the two people to him.
A man dressed in black had a hidden weapon stuck in his right eye, and his face was covered in blood.
Another person, dressed in embroidered cloth, was trembling with fear.
Xie Yanli's icy gaze fell upon them, his voice filled with oppressive force.
"Speak, who ordered you to assassinate them?"
His eyes held an undeniable authority. "If you confess the truth, you might be spared. Otherwise..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the threat in it was obvious.
Zhang San swallowed hard, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He never expected that Prince Xie would be here today...
Before he could think any further, a sudden chill ran down his neck.
Turning my head slightly, I saw a sharp sword, its blade gleaming with a chilling light.
Zhang San stared wide-eyed in terror, his body trembling uncontrollably, and a muffled sob escaped his throat.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
