Chapter 143: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character in Farming Literature (26)
"Don't you hate him for being so arrogant?"
"I dare not." She was frightened by these words and waved her hands in panic to explain, "I know that people like us, with low status, dare not make friends with Mr. Qi. It is a great blessing for us that Mr. Qi is willing to talk to people like us."
"We are all citizens of the Great Zhou. There is no distinction between high and low." Qi Heng said in a deep voice.
No matter what he thought in his heart, these words sounded much better than what came out of Qi Ze's mouth.
The uneasiness in Jiang Wan's eyes faded a lot, and was filled with admiration for him.
Just like those ordinary people, they admire the powerful.
Qi Heng asked a few more questions, but didn't notice anything unusual.
It seems that I was overthinking it.
Then there is no need to ask further.
After walking out of this inconspicuous courtyard, Qi Heng looked back twice, then waved his hand and instructed one of his subordinates to keep a close eye on these two people in the next few days and report to him immediately if there is anything unusual.
There seemed to be nothing wrong with the girl, but he always felt that the person next to her was a little strange.
His intuition told him that the man was dangerous.
I hope he's just overthinking it.
As soon as Qi Heng left, Suisui came back.
She couldn't be as calm as Qi Heng.
She told them that Qi Ze was missing.
She did not hide her suspicion of Seventeen and asked him directly whether this matter had anything to do with him.
Everyone in the capital city knew how favored the young master of the general's mansion was, and no one dared to touch him. But after he came here yesterday, he mysteriously disappeared at night.
If this matter is really related to him, release Qi Ze quickly and everyone can pretend that nothing happened.
Their intuition was quite accurate; this matter was indeed related to Seventeen, but Jiang Wan mindlessly defended Seventeen.
She angrily said that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Seventeen.
Without evidence, they can only suspect.
After Shi Sui Sui calmed down, she realized that she was impulsive. How could she suspect Seventeen? Seventeen usually didn't even dare to kill a chicken, so how could he hurt someone?
Seeing that the two trusted each other and she felt like an outsider, she left in despair.
Seventeen watched her disappearing back and had an idea in mind.
It seems that memories really cannot be retained.
For him, forgetting everything is the best option.
At first, the general's mansion only searched secretly.
After three days, there was still no clue, so the people in the General's Mansion took action. Thinking that the person was still in the capital, they asked their superiors for permission, and after getting the order, they conducted a house-to-house search.
After two days of investigation, there was still no result. Everyone was in a panic during this New Year. Just when everyone thought that someone was in danger, a letter suddenly appeared in the general's mansion, and the letter contained Qi Ze's location.
Qi Heng led his men out of the city and found Qi Ze in a dilapidated temple more than 20 miles outside the suburbs. He had scars of varying sizes on his body, and he was breathing out more than inhaling.
All the doctors in the palace went into the general's residence and finally pulled the young master back from the brink of death, saving his life. However, the young master's body was completely damaged, and even if he was alive, he would need to rely on medicine every day to stay alive.
The General's Mansion sent people to look for the elusive miracle doctor and placed all their hopes on him.
Qi Ze himself had no memory of the time before the attack. He had no idea how he got out of the city, and he didn't know why he was injured.
Young Marquis Lu Xiuming went to visit the general's residence. The sickly Master Qi suddenly went mad, picked up a dagger and stabbed Lu Xiuming. The young Marquis Lu was caught off guard and was stabbed in the heart. The imperial physician rushed to the residence to see the young Marquis Lu.
His life was saved, but he was so weak that he couldn't even ride a horse or shoot arrows.
These things spread all over the capital, and Jiang Wan heard about them in the embroidery building. She returned home, held Seventeen's hand, and said worriedly, "They are so badly injured, will they come to you? Will they want to use your blood to save them?"
of course not.
They will no longer remember that mermaid blood could save their lives.
Seventeen originally wanted to try to erase some of Jiang Wan's memories and live with her like an ordinary person, but he felt that those memories were extremely precious.
If I can't even trust her, there is no one in this world that I can trust.
It doesn't matter if she knows she is a mermaid.
Even if one day he really repeats the same mistake, he will be willing to do it.
This was a choice he made himself.
Seventeen comforted him, "No, the mermaid's blood can only detoxify. Even if you bleed them, it will be useless to them. They won't come looking for us."
Having said that, Jiang Wan said she was still very worried.
Jiang Wan noticed that his face was pale and his lips were bloodless, so she raised her hand and touched his cheek, "Why do you look so bad? Your forehead is so cold. Are you feeling unwell?"
"Nothing, I just didn't get enough rest these days." Seventeen's voice became weaker and weaker. He raised his hand and pinched his brows. "My head feels heavy. I'll go back to my room and rest for a while. Dinner is in the pot. Remember to wake me up later. I'll go clean up the kitchen."
And his sleep was like a belated hibernation, with no sign of waking up.
His body is abnormally cold, and it is not appropriate to see a doctor in his condition.
Jiang Wan was guarding by the bed, sending him some spiritual power from time to time, checking his breath, feeling his heartbeat, to make sure he was still alive.
Jiang Wan's current status means that she cannot access the affairs of the court, but with the system plug-in, she often listens to gossip and collects information according to Jiang Wan's wishes when she is free.
Find out what undercurrents are surging beneath the seemingly calm situation.
The General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion have now become mortal enemies. They were supposed to be a united front supporting the Sixth Prince's camp, but now they have turned against each other. The Sixth Prince wanted to treat them equally, but ended up completely offending the Marquis' Mansion, and nothing good could be done about the General's Mansion either.
The court was changing rapidly, and no one knew who the final winner would be until the end. The other princes who had thought they had no hope of winning the position now saw hope.
They are busy fighting for power and making plans.
Now that you have chosen to join the game, you must plan carefully.
I'm afraid that one wrong move will result in a complete loss.
With Seventeen in such condition, Jiang Wan couldn't go to the embroidery building. Apart from gossiping, she just embroidered and painted.
I drew some patterns at home according to the boss lady's instructions. There is still more than half a year before the Chinese Valentine's Day, and everyone in the embroidery building is preparing for the patterns of handkerchiefs and purses for the Chinese Valentine's Day.
At night, Jiang Wan put away all the drawings on the table. She covered her lips and yawned, walked over to check on Seventeen's condition, and returned to the couch by the window to rest.
She was awakened in the middle of the night by painful whimpers.
