Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin was not seriously injured, but it was not serious. The main reason was that he was mentally exhausted from dealing with the two assassins. Coupled with the loss of blood, he almost passed out directly.

The little girl's crying made Li Xin barely awake, and finally staggered back to the house and lay down on the bed.

Today, he has only been in this world for a month, but the Pingnan Hou Mansion has attacked him three times. The first two times were to try to drive him out of the capital by means of intimidation. kill him.

Fortunately, Li Xin did not die.

He lay on his own bed, rested for a while, and after recovering a little strength, he took off his coat with the help of Zhong Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, his cotton coat was almost soaked with blood, and Li Xin took off his coat, only to see the wound on his right arm.

The wound was less than half a foot long and nearly an inch deep, and the bone could almost be seen.

The charcoal girl couldn't stop crying, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly, she took Li Xin's hand, choked up and said, "Brother, let's go..."

A sharp pain hit, Li Xin saw sweat on his forehead, and whispered: "Where are you going?"

Zhong Xiaoxiao cried and said: "It's good to go anywhere, there are bad people in the capital."

Li Xin shook his head, stretched out his left hand to touch the little girl's head, and said softly, "You can't avoid it, go and help brother boil some hot water, and bring some salt over here."

This kind of wound must be disinfected in time, otherwise it is easy to get tetanus. The medical conditions in this era are extremely poor, and they don't know how to disinfect, so many people die of serious injuries.

Burning fire is her forte. The little girl wiped her tears and went to the kitchen to help Li Xin boil a basin of hot water. She staggered and brought it over. Li Xin asked her to pour out more than half of it, leaving only a small half of the basin, and then melted a piece of salt. went in.

Boiled salt water can be sterilized, although it is not as effective as alcohol, but there is no alcohol in this era, so we can only use it first.

Li Xin couldn't move with one hand, so he handed a piece of clean cloth into the little girl's hand, and said softly, "Use this to clean my wound."

Zhong Xiaoxiao wiped away his tears, took the white cloth, dipped it in some salt water, and began to clean Li Xin's wound.

The white cloth dipped in salt water touched Li Xin's right arm.

"hiss……"

The taste of sprinkling salt on the wound was really unpleasant. Li Xin clenched his teeth, sweating profusely on his forehead, and almost collapsed.

The little girl quickly stopped, and was about to start crying again. Li Xin gritted his teeth and said, "Continue."

This is self-help, a little pain is nothing, if he really got tetanus, he will die of illness in this yard within a month or two at most.

His body is still very weak, and it is basically impossible for him to carry it by force.

Zhong Xiaoxiao's face was pale, and she helped Li Xin clean the wound with tears in her eyes. Then Li Xin sprinkled the wound medicine left by Zhang Xiao on the wound, and then asked the little girl to wrap the wound with a white cloth.

After a series of downs, it was already midnight, and Li Xin was half lying on his bed, panting heavily.

This day was the first day of the 18th year of Chengde's Lunar New Year, and he had a very bad year.

After resting for a while, Li Xin patted the little girl beside him, and said softly: "Okay, brother is fine, you can go back to sleep."

Although Li Xin and the little girl were considered brothers and sisters, they were not related by blood after all, and they should be paid attention to, so after moving to the capital, they always slept in separate rooms.

The little girl shook her head.

"I'm not going, I'm here to guard my brother."

Her expression was determined: "Otherwise, another villain will come to harm my brother."

Li Xin shook his head and didn't say much. At this moment, a sense of weakness came over him. He closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep.

…………

The next morning, when Li Xin was still sleeping in the room, Zhong Xiaoxiao got up early and went to the kitchen to boil some white eggs for Li Xin. , You have to step on a stool to touch the stove.

At the gate of the yard, there were footsteps coming.

As if hearing the enemy, the little girl hurried to the yard to have a look, only to see a noble man in purple clothes at the gate of the yard, looking at the kicked down wooden door, frowning deeply.

Immediately, he saw Zhong Xiaoxiao holding a few eggs in his hand, with a smile on his face.

"Girl, take me to see your brother."

……

In Li Xin's room, when the Seventh Prince of the Dynasty, His Royal Highness Ji Wen sat on the edge of Li Xin's bed, frowned and looked at Li Xin who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and sighed in a low voice: "These days are the end of the year. Well, there are many things to be busy in the imperial court and the clan, and this king really can't leave him alone, and he has no other energy to take care of other things. Last night, this king was by his father's side, watching those assassins make trouble with his own eyes. I didn't expect to escape to you."

Li Xin half sat on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "Your Highness, what happened last night is definitely not a coincidence."

"Of course it's not a coincidence."

The Seventh Prince laughed sneeringly: "There is no such thing as a coincidence that the young master of Pingnanhou's Mansion is present. What happened last night was just... an attempted murder."

The matter is very clear, everyone can see it, but no one has evidence, so the Seventh Prince has nothing to do with Li Chun.

Li Xin took a few deep breaths, and said softly, "Could your Highness tell me in detail about the assassination of His Majesty last night?"

The Seventh Prince nodded and recounted what happened at the gate of the imperial city last night. When he said that Li Chun rushed into the scene with his family to escort him, Li Xin coughed and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this Li Chun There is definitely something wrong with Chun, those assassins may be ordered by him!"

"This is impossible."

The Seventh Prince shook his head: "Li Chun will never do it, and I dare not do it. This king thought about it for a while, and it was probably a coincidence that he encountered this incident. Then when he was rounding up the assassins, Li Chun got up. With a crooked mind, I want to take advantage of this matter to attack you."

Li Xin snorted: "If those assassins weren't ordered by Li Chun, the timing of his appearance as escort was too coincidental."

Ji Wen still shook her head with a serious expression: "Don't go into this matter any further. In any case, those assassins have nothing to do with the Pingnanhou Mansion, and they can't have anything to do with it."

The Seventh Prince's face was full of solemnity: "This is the strength accumulated by the Pingnanhou Mansion for so many years. We can only suffer from a dumb loss and make up for it from other things. You are a smart person, so you should understand it."

Li Xin was silent for a moment, and then understood what the Seventh Prince was talking about.

Marquis of Pingnan Li Shen has the military power in his hands, so the Marquis of Pingnan's mansion will not, and cannot, plot to assassinate. If this matter is pursued, His Majesty will not be able to get through it.

Because this incident will destroy the tacit understanding between emperor Chengde and Pingnanhou Li Shen.

The Seventh Prince sighed softly: "The bond between Li Shen and the Royal Father is too strong, this incident cannot shake the Royal Father's view of the Pingnanhou Mansion, if there is no evidence, rashly raising this matter will only cause a stir. Father's disgust."

This is the momentum accumulated by the Pingnanhou Mansion.

Li Xin nodded, and said softly: "His Highness, let me down, I can understand."

The young man was silent for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "Let's not pursue this matter any further, but your Highness had better find a way to let His Majesty know about my injury..."

The Seventh Prince's eyes lit up.

The embankment of a thousand miles breaks in an ant's nest, and there will always be ants who bite the first bite.

If the royal father knew about this matter, even if it did not affect Li Shen's status, the young master Li Chun of Pingnanhou's mansion would definitely cause the royal father's dissatisfaction.
