Chapter 195

The cold sword blade was against her neck, and Qiao Nian's whole body was instantly stiff.

In her impression, Ji Yue knew the importance of things, observed etiquette, and was always warm and polite to her.

Even when he was ordered by Xiao He to drive her out of the house, his strength was very measured.

Who would have thought that one day her life would be held in Ji Yue's hands!

She didn't dare to move, and her eyes were filled with a bit of fear, but she saw that Xiao He had stopped struggling at some point and was looking at her.

In the dark night, those cold eyes were like evil spirits from the underworld, staring at her accurately through the night and the window paper!

A chill rose from behind.

The fear in her heart was even stronger than when Ji Yue suddenly put the sword on her neck just now.

But in the next moment, the extreme pain enveloped Xiao He again.

Xiao He began to struggle violently, and the wailing of pain came out of his tightly clenched teeth.

Ji Yue's low voice sounded in Qiao Nian's ears, "Is the eldest young lady's wish now? How about seeing my master in such a miserable state? I advise you to get out of here if you don't want to die!"

As soon as the words fell, the sword was removed from Qiao Nian's neck.

Ji Yue pushed Qiao Nian out violently.

Qiao Nian staggered and almost fell to the ground.

She looked back at Ji Yue and saw that the latter had a gloomy face, like a killing god, guarding Xiao He's house tightly, not allowing anyone to get close.

But all he could do was to stay here like this, listening to Xiao He's wailing, imagining Xiao He's pain, but...

powerless.

But now, Qiao Nian knew that he couldn't say anything.

Because of Xiao He's wailing, Ji Yue was in a state of anger at this moment.

She was worried that if she said one more word at this moment, the sword in Ji Yue's hand would pierce her heart.

Therefore, she could only gather the coat on her shoulders and turn around to walk into her room.

The door was closed, and the boundless night came. Qiao Nian no longer heard Xiao He's painful wailing in her ears, only Ning Shuang's steady breathing.

It was this breathing that made Qiao Nian's heart, which had been hanging, calm down a little.

She breathed a sigh of relief and touched her neck subconsciously.

The faint red on her fingertips proved that Ji Yue had really wanted to kill her just now.

If she was not the "eldest young lady", she would have died under Ji Yue's sword long ago.

She didn't blame Ji Yue, he was just protecting Xiao He's last dignity.

But...

Qiao Nian's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she recalled the scene she had just seen bit by bit.

If, she was not mistaken, Xiao He's hands were tightly holding her legs.

If a person has a heartache, he will hold his heart, and if he has a stomachache, he will touch his stomach.

So, Xiao He's holding his legs tightly, does it prove that his pain comes from his legs?

Qiao Nian remembered what the court doctor once said, that a person with disabled lower limbs would not feel anything even if he took a fire and roasted his legs like a rabbit.

Maybe the court doctor's metaphor was too vivid, Qiao Nian has always remembered it in her heart.

Now thinking about it, she was shocked.

Could it be that Xiao He's legs were fine?

The next moment, she felt that her idea was too absurd.

When Xiao He was seriously injured, the emperor invited the entire imperial hospital to treat him.

Everyone said that Xiao He would never be able to walk again in his life.

But it was true that Xiao He was in such pain...

I didn't sleep all night.

The next day, after Qiao Nian got up, she found that only Ningshuang was busy in the yard.

Seeing Qiao Nian, Ningshuang stepped forward and saluted, but Qiao Nian could not help but glance in the direction of Xiao He's residence, and asked in a low voice, "Has Brother Xiao come out today?"

Ningshuang shook her head and lowered her voice like Qiao Nian, "Not to mention the young master, even Ji Yue is nowhere to be seen."

Qiao Nian felt a little guilty for no reason.

It must be because of her peeping last night that the two of them didn't want to see her!

After thinking about it, she asked again, "Is there any way for me to see the palace doctor?"

The palace doctor of the Marquis's Mansion came from the Medicine King Valley, and his medical skills are not comparable to those of ordinary doctors.

Qiao Nian was beaten to death several times before, and it was the palace doctor who saved him.

But, the Medicine King Valley is a very strange place. It is said that any disease can be cured, but even if it is cured, you can only stay in the Medicine King Valley for the rest of your life. Unless the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley allows, you can never come out.

There were rumors that the owner of Medicine King Valley kept those who had been cured in the valley to test medicine and poison. Anyone who had been cured and entered the valley would either die of poison or live a life worse than death.

However, rumors still could not stop people from going to Medicine King Valley for medical treatment.

After all, the medical skills of Medicine King Valley were too powerful!

The mansion doctor escaped from Medicine King Valley. He refused to mention his past. He had never left the gate of the Marquis' Mansion in order to avoid the search of Medicine King Valley.

So it was difficult for her to see the mansion doctor outside the Marquis' Mansion.

Although Ning Shuang didn't know where the mansion doctor came from, she knew that the mansion doctor didn't like to go out, so she frowned and said, "Then, Miss, go back to the Marquis' Mansion?"

This was the quickest way.

However, Qiao Nian had already torn her face with the Marquis' Mansion, and besides, she didn't really want to see the people in the Marquis' Mansion.

After thinking about it, she said, "Well, I'll write a letter and you can send it to the mansion doctor for me."

After that, she went back to the house and described Xiao He's miserable pain last night.

She handed the letter to Ning Shuang, and she must not let others see it.

Ning Shuang nodded in agreement, and went out with the letter, and did not come back until the afternoon.

"Miss! The court doctor has replied to you!" Ning Shuang rushed into the house, took out the letter in her arms and handed it to Qiao Nian.

There was also a small medicine bottle handed along with it.

Qiao Nian hurriedly opened the letter and read it, and then she knew that the court doctor had also heard about Xiao He's serious injury that year.

Such a high-spirited young general suddenly became a disabled person with disabled legs, no matter who it was, it would be a pity.

Now, hearing Qiao Nian's description, the court doctor thought of a possibility.

That is, Xiao He was poisoned.

The letter said that if the medicine in the medicine bottle could relieve Xiao He's pain, it would prove that the court doctor's guess was correct.

At that time, she could take Xiao He to the Xiao family and let the court doctor treat him in person.

Qiao Nian put the letter away and took the medicine bottle, but her heart was uneasy.

How to tell Xiao He?

After what happened yesterday, Xiao He no longer wanted to see her. If he knew that she had told others about him, he would probably kill her without mercy!

But...what if the doctor's guess is right?

What if Xiao He was really just poisoned?

If the poison can be cured, does it prove that Xiao He's legs can also be cured and he can stand up again?

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian decided to give it a try.
