Chapter 95

The crisis emerges.

It turned out that at this moment, Yin Fengzhan's legs were covered in blood, staining the entire bed in a shocking, eye-piercing crimson!

What is going on? How could... how could it be like this?!

For a moment, Nie Jinxuan was a bit dazed. At this moment, Yin Fengzhan just stared at his legs, pressing his lips together without a word, and after only a moment, he made a move to roll off the bed.

Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan grabbed him instantly.

"What are you doing?"

"Going out!"

"Going out? Where to?"

"There are two days left; this Prince must go."

The place Yin Fengzhan said he was going was naturally the Zi Feng Lin, but hearing this, Nie Jinxuan's eyes widened, and she pressed the expressionless man back onto the bed.

"Still going? Yin Fengzhan, I think your brain has water in it, or it was squeezed by a door? You are like this, and you still want to go?!"

"No..."

"No what no, you shut up!"

With a fierce sentence, she blocked Yin Fengzhan's mouth, then Nie Jinxuan shifted her body and, without further ado, rolled up Yin Fengzhan's trousers. But the moment the trousers were rolled up, Nie Jinxuan gasped in a cold breath!

She saw that Yin Fengzhan's bandaged wound was completely soaked, as if it had been soaked in blood!

The situation was too horrible to look at! But now was not the time to be surprised or dazed. So after a brief moment of shock, Nie Jinxuan calmed down, quickly got out of bed to put on her clothes, and then began to prepare things.

Clean cloth, knife, medicine...

Nie Jinxuan's movements were agile, but just as everything was about to be ready, she suddenly remembered that there was no more wine in the room!

Instantly, Nie Jinxuan gritted her teeth and turned to the bed.

"Yin Fengzhan, there is no more wine in the room, you just have to endure it for a moment! Remember, do not move, do not get out of bed, do not make a sound! Do you hear me?!"

Nie Jinxuan commanded with a stern voice. After she finished, she did not wait for Yin Fengzhan to speak and pulled the bed curtains down to block him. Then, after tidying her clothes slightly and calming her mood, she walked to the door and opened it.

At this moment, seeing the door open, Xiao Xiu, who was guarding the door, hurried forward.

"Princess Consort, you are awake. You are so early today."

It seemed that Xiao Xiu had only just arrived, as there were still traces of her having just washed her face. At this moment, hearing this, Nie Jinxuan looked up at Xiao Xiu and said calmly:

"Yes, the Prince was drunk last night, and I didn't sleep well either, so I got up a bit earlier... By the way, Xiao Xiu, go and get me some wine."

"Wine? Princess Consort, what is wrong? It is early in the morning, why..."

"Oh, it is nothing, it is just that the Prince drank too much last night and accidentally bumped into the table, cutting his leg. It is nothing serious; just wipe it with wine and it will be fine."

Nie Jinxuan explained as if it were nothing, but she was very anxious inside. Hearing Nie Jinxuan say this, Xiao Xiu suddenly realized, and without further ado, she quickly agreed and turned to run off.

Xiao Xiu's movements were very fast. A short while later, she brought the wine over. Because it was Yin Fengzhan who was injured, Xiao Xiu did not dare to offer to enter the room to help without Nie Jinxuan's order, so she just waited quietly at the door.

At this moment, having received the wine from Xiao Xiu, Nie Jinxuan did not hesitate, closed the door, and went directly to the bed, pulling the curtains open.

"The wine is here."

Saying this, Nie Jinxuan sat by the bed and used scissors to cut open Yin Fengzhan's trousers. But as soon as she cut them open, Nie Jinxuan's brows instantly knit together.

"How could it be like this? It was already healing before, how could it suddenly, overnight..."

In fact, after Yin Fengzhan's leg had worsened before and Nie Jinxuan had squeezed out the pus and re-bandaged it in time, it had been getting better. But the wound, which had already scabbed over when they changed the dressing, had completely split open after only one night, and blood was flowing out continuously...

Even at this very moment, the bleeding had not stopped, and the scarlet color stained the bed in a terrifying manner, making one's heart feel cold.

Nie Jinxuan could not understand what was going on. At this moment, looking at the wound on his leg, Yin Fengzhan could not help but narrow his eyes and sit up. Seeing Yin Fengzhan sit up, Nie Jinxuan was startled and could not help but scold:

"Why are you sitting up? Lie down quickly."

"It is fine."

"You..."

Unable to persuade him, Nie Jinxuan could not be bothered to say anything more to him. So, after glaring fiercely at Yin Fengzhan, Nie Jinxuan began to treat his wound.

Perhaps practice makes perfect; after being tempered several times before, Nie Jinxuan's technique was clearly better and much faster than before. The wound, which had been bleeding continuously, slowly stopped after being disinfected and medicated.

Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief, then after carefully checking and applying medicine again, she re-bandaged Yin Fengzhan's wound. After everything was settled, Nie Jinxuan could not help but exhale and look up at Yin Fengzhan.

"Alright, I have bandaged your wound for now, and the bleeding has stopped... However, it is really strange. It was perfectly fine before, how did it suddenly become like this?"

Nie Jinxuan brought up this question again. After all, in Nie Jinxuan's view, this matter was truly too bizarre. But after she finished, Nie Jinxuan could not help but think of what Yin Fengzhan had said before, and could not help but speak again:

"By the way, you said 'I've been tricked' before, what did that mean? What was tricked?"

"The wine yesterday had a problem."

Yin Fengzhan answered directly. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan was stunned and instantly widened her eyes in surprise.

"You... are you saying that it is because you drank that pot of wine that it became like this?"

"Otherwise, is there any better explanation?"

"..."

Yes, Yin Fengzhan was right. Last night, Yin Fengzhan had eaten almost nothing and had just finished that pot of wine. And it had been perfectly fine before, and it was only after this one night that it became like this; indeed, there was no other explanation!

Thinking this in her heart, Nie Jinxuan's expression changed.

"But that is not right either. I drank the wine last night too, why am I fine?"

"Because you are not injured!"

Meeting Nie Jinxuan's puzzled gaze, Yin Fengzhan said with a hint of weakness. After he finished, his eyes narrowed.

"So, if I am not mistaken, there should have been a medicine in that pot of wine last night that causes wounds to bleed non-stop, which is why it has become like this now..."

Yin Fengzhan spoke in a low voice, and after he finished, he could not help but narrow his eyes slightly...

Yin Fengzhan stopped talking, and for a time, the room became quiet again. But in Nie Jinxuan's heart, a stormy sea was instantly stirred up! Because she really did not expect that Emperor Shuncheng would actually pull such a move!

Furthermore, if things were really like this, did it not also mean that Emperor Shuncheng had already begun to suspect Yin Fengzhan?! Then, what should they do next?!

Nie Jinxuan felt increasingly nervous. At this moment, after a long silence, Yin Fengzhan, who had been leaning against the bed, suddenly rolled off the bed and began to change his clothes.

Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan was stunned and hurried to stand up as well.

"What are you doing?"

"Going out!"

"You... Yin Fengzhan, are you crazy?! You are like this now, and you still want to go out?!"

"Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if I didn't go out?!"

He replied to Nie Jinxuan without thinking. After putting on his outer robe, Yin Fengzhan turned to look at Nie Jinxuan, then made a move to turn and walk out... But the moment he turned, he was grabbed back by Nie Jinxuan.

"Danger is at least better than losing your life! So, you stay in the room honestly! If you really have to, go in the afternoon!"

After she finished, Nie Jinxuan pushed Yin Fengzhan to a seat nearby without further ado. Then she began to tidy the bed, changed the blood-stained sheets, and stuffed them under the bed. Then she flipped the mattress over and spread it out, and as for the brocade quilt, she folded it up so that, from the outside, not a single trace of blood could be seen!

Nie Jinxuan busied herself for a long while, and after everything was tidied up, she let Yin Fengzhan lie back on the bed. Then she called out loudly:

"Zhongli!"

Nie Jinxuan was not familiar with Zhongli. She only knew he was Yin Fengzhan's trusted guard. At this moment, hearing the call, Zhongli, who had been waiting outside the door for Yin Fengzhan to go out together, was stunned, but then hurried in.

"Greetings, Princess Consort."

"Zhongli, the Prince drank too much last night and is feeling unwell now, so go and report over there in a while, saying that the Prince will not be going today."

Nie Jinxuan spoke lightly. Hearing this, Zhongli was stunned, then turned to look at his master lying on the bed, and then nodded slowly.

"Yes!"

Saying this, Zhongli turned and left.

After Zhongli left, Nie Jinxuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and then called Xiao Xiu in.

After a morning of tossing and turning, Nie Jinxuan could finally rest for a while. After a simple wash and dressing, she began to eat breakfast... But just as Nie Jinxuan had Xiao Xiu bring the food to the bedside so that Yin Fengzhan could also eat a bite, the voice of the Crown Prince, Yin Fenghan, suddenly came from outside the room.

"Hehe~, what is this? I heard that the Fourth Brother was drunk last night; I wonder how he is doing now?"

Yin Fenghan's voice carried a smile, and after he finished speaking, he pushed the door open and walked in...
