Wait a minute, heroine

Doctor Wang left, and the main hall became quiet, leaving only a dim candle and the faint scent of medicine.

Tick ​​tock~~

The blood droplets that had seeped out from the fingertips had returned to their normal bright red color, and it took a long time for one to drop.

Ye Jingtang put his arms on the armrests and sat leaning against the chair. He felt that the scene seemed familiar - it was like an infusion in the hospital. The only difference was that there was no medicine bottle hanging next to the chair.

While I was thinking wildly, footsteps came from outside the door.

Tread...

In a blink of an eye, the fat-headed dragon, shining like a fool, came over with his entourage. His expression was calm and intimidating, like a superior visiting his subordinates.

"Your Highness, why do you..."

"No need to get up."

Dongfang Liren raised his screen and stepped back to the left and right, coming closer:

"How's the injury?"

As he spoke, Dongfang Liren leaned down and looked at the left hand that Ye Jingtang placed.

Originally, this action was nothing, but Ye Jingtang was sitting on a big chair, and Dongfang Li was very tall. Standing beside him and bending down, the oppressive Fat-headed Dragon was right in front of his eyes, and it was so heavy that it was visible to the naked eye and within reach.

!

Ye Jingtang couldn't keep his eyes on the fat-headed dragon, so he could only turn away and motion to the seat next to him:

"Why are you here, Your Highness? Did you meet him outside..."

"Your crush?"

Ye Jingtang nodded, sounding a little worried.

Dongfang Liren stood up straight with a calm expression: "We met. I didn't want to disturb Xian's family, so I didn't meet. By the way, where did you kidnap such a beautiful girl?"

"Oh, how could she be kidnapped? We met by chance, and then we got together. I took her out to handle the case tonight. I didn't expect the murderer to be so cunning..."

Dongfang Liren picked up a chair and sat upright in front of the Night Terror Hall, as if he was interrogating a suspect:

"Since you are handling a case, why don't you come and inform me instead of bringing your family with you?"

Night Terror Hall’s answer was very frank:

"His Royal Highness has zero actual combat experience. If something happens to him, I will have to protect him..."

Snapped--

Dongfang Liren was very angry at these frank words and patted the armrest:

"I have thousands of people under my command. I mean to arrange manpower for you. Do you think that this rich man of mine will go out with you to investigate the case?"

Ye Jingtang laughed and said: "I'm just guessing. If we really bring the chief arrester of the black yamen with us, if nothing happens, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

When Dongfang Liren said this, his eyes became more serious and he asked curiously:

"How did you guess that the government had an insider?"

Ye Jingtang shook his head and said: "I just wanted to study the palm prints again at night. Ning'er was also curious, so we dressed up like this and went there together. Who would have thought that we would bump into the murderer and destroy the corpse. The murderer must have touched it so quickly. The government has internal agents and definitely did not commit the crime alone."

Dongfang Liren suddenly realized: "I see...but it's also very powerful. At least you did see that there was a problem with the palm print, which made the murderer show up. Can you see the face of the person?"

Ye Jingtang thought about it carefully: "No. Judging from the height, weapons, and body shape, he is definitely the murderer, but he was not present when Zhuji Street handled the case. The murderer's martial arts skills are not as good as mine, but he should not be underestimated. He can use the Beiliang Breaking Blade. , Tuzhou Dragon Qi Sword, there is a red rope in the sleeve, which can penetrate the beam of the house for displacement, and he carries a lot of hidden weapon smoke pellets, as well as the 'Snow Moth Scale' from Yanbei..."

Dongfang Liren listened quietly and frowned in thought:

"With so many martial arts skills, they come from all over the world. It's probably the Green Bandits who are behind this."

"I asked Niaoniao to chase him. Niaoniao should be back soon. We can continue to investigate later."

Dongfang Liren saw that the layout of Ye Jingtang was so meticulous, and he really admired it. However, when he saw the blood bowl under Ye Jingtang's hand, he still said seriously:

"Whether this matter is solved or not, you will be credited with the first credit. Just let the chief arrester of the Yamen handle the rest. You have a good rest. They are eating official food and can't find any clues for months; you don't have a penny. I don’t get my salary, but I’m still working hard at night. It’s really…”

Ye Jingtang smiled and said: "His Highness is so kind to me, even giving me the 'Jade Bone Picture', so I should treat His Highness's affairs as my own."

Dongfang Liren blinked, feeling a little moved:

"It's good that you have this intention, but don't make fun of your safety. I have many masters under my command. After a busy day, go back and spend time with your loved one."

Ye Jingtang vaguely felt that there was a hint of jealousy in these words, but it was hard to explain clearly, so he just nodded with a smile.

The two chatted for only a few words before there was another sound outside the door.

"Chi chi chi..."

The bird flapped its wings, flew in from the door, and landed on Night Terror Hall's shoulder, looking very angry!

However, seeing that Ye Jingtang seemed to be injured, he rubbed his head against Ye Jingtang's neck, probably to comfort him.

When Ye Jingtang saw that blood was no longer oozing from his fingers, he pulled out the golden needle and placed it on the table:

"Have you found anyone?"

"grumble."

Birds open their beaks and beg for rewards.

Dongfang Liren has been in contact with people for a few times, and he can roughly understand the birdsong, so he picked up the birds:

"Take me to find the murderer. If you catch the murderer, I will give you a big gold birdcage."

"grumble?!"

When Niaoniao heard about the birdcage, he jumped back on Night Terror Hall's shoulder, with a little look like 'Niaoniao doesn't know you'.

Ye Jingtang and Dongfang Liren walked out of the main hall together, but found no trace of Luo Nuxia. Instead, they saw Sanniang in a goose-yellow summer dress, standing at the corner of the corridor and looking around, holding a small medicine box in her hand.

"The daughter of the common people pays homage to His Highness."

"Miss Pei is here too, um... where is Miss Ning'er?"

Dongfang Liren looked around.

"Miss Ning'er is thin-skinned. When she saw your highness coming, she was sorry and left first."

Pei Xiangjun looked at Ye Jingtang's complexion and saw that there was no problem, so he said again:

"There's nothing wrong with Jingtang, I'll go back first..."

Dongfang Liren quickly raised his hand: "No need. Ye Jingtang, you send Miss Pei back to the house. I have errands to do, so I'll leave first."

With that said, he picked up the bird on Ye Jingtang's shoulder and left with his entourage.

————

As the Queen and Nuxia Luo left, the Wang Family Medical Center became quiet.

After Ye Jingtang said goodbye to the manager of the hospital, he and Sanniang walked out of the door of the hospital together.

As soon as the Queen left, Pei Xiangjun's virtuous and dignified temperament changed. He folded his hands on his waist and assumed the posture of jealous elders, leaving Ye Jingtang with the back of his head:

"Hmph~ You are really awesome. You beat two people down in the morning and it's not enough. Then you come here to fight with others at night..."

Ye Jingtang walked forward and sighed: "There is no way. In the morning, I helped Sanniang Tianshuiqiao solve the problem, and in the evening, I handled the case for Heiya. I have to take care of both ends. I am also doing this to be appreciated by Prince Jing, so that I can protect him in the future. Honghua Building."

Pei Xiangjun slowed down a bit and became shoulder to shoulder: "There has to be a priority when doing things, right? I asked you to help, and I have to arrange for a few experts to follow to avoid things going wrong. You can help the Yamen handle the case, as long as you feel like it, why bother? Life? Are you sure you're not trying to please the Queen?"

"How can I say that I am deliberately trying to please you? Prince Jing cares about me very much. I feel unworthy of doing all this. Alas... The most difficult debt to repay in the world is the debt of favor. There is indeed some truth to this."

Pei Xiangjun complained sourly, but seeing Ye Jingtang's helpless expression, he stopped and said instead:

"I sent someone to pay attention today. Mr. Cheng sent someone to Tiefuling. I'm afraid the Angry-Eye King Kong will come to kill him in a few days. You should be careful."

"Of course I know this..."

While talking, the two of them arrived on the street.

Prince Jing's carriage has left, leaving only one official horse parked in the stable next to the hospital.

Pei Xiangjun came here in a hurry and did not take a ride. It was okay for the two of them to share a horse, but it was obviously inconvenient for Pei Xiangjun to wear a skirt.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang wanted to go find Mrs. Zhang to pick up a carriage, but Pei Xiangjun stepped forward and moved the horse over:

"As long as you can go back, don't bother me."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang gave up and came to the front, asking Sanniang to get up. Then, like Sun Wukong, he led the horse towards Tianshui Bridge.

Hoof-clack, hoof-clack...

Baishi Long Street is empty and deserted, with only lights and green trees along both sides of the street.

Pei Xiangjun sat sideways on the horse, feeling a little embarrassed when he saw Ye Jingtang leading the horse in such a disciplined manner:

"Why don't you come up too? No one will see you."

"There's no one here. There must be some on the street in front. It's not good for people to misunderstand Sanniang."

"well……"

Pei Xiangjun folded his hands on his waist and looked at Ye Jingtang's tall back. He couldn't help but think of his sister-in-law's words and the internal and external troubles of Honghua House. While he was thinking about it secretly, he suddenly thought of the medicine box in his hand.

She opened the medicine box and saw that it was dotted with red soft cloth and had four pits. Each one contained a pill with a fragrant medicinal fragrance. She could smell ginseng and other precious medicinal materials, which should be used to regulate the body. Then he raised his finger and picked out one:

"Jingtang, this is the medicine Mrs. Wang just prescribed for you, come and take it."

Ye Jingtang turned around and raised his hand to catch it, but Sanniang threw it directly, and he had to open his mouth to catch it like eating peanuts. He felt... um...

Not bitter, soft in the mouth, smooth throat...
