I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 148 Asleep

Doctor Qin calmly took Xin Youran's pulse and said, "She just fell asleep due to exhaustion, not because of any illness."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

After hearing what Doctor Qin said, Mu Yuan was frightened and picked up the sleeping Xin Youran and put her on the bed.

I covered her with a blanket and touched her forehead worriedly to make sure she didn't have a fever.

Only then did he lower the curtain.

He drank the antidote handed to him by Doctor Qin.

Feeling even more guilty towards Xin Youran, he asked Doctor Qin again, "Is it necessary to use her blood as a medicine?"

"Isn't it possible that there are other medicine men in this world?"

"How's the search going?"

Faced with Mu Yuan's series of questions, I didn't know how to answer for a moment.

In fact, he had already answered this question many times. Based on his understanding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was probably feeling guilty towards that young lady again.

Over the years, apart from his mother who died in childbirth because of him, he has never shown such feelings for anyone.

"If Your Highness feels that she has worked hard, you might as well think about how to compensate her."

"It's already been more than half a month since the 49th day. We must not give up halfway!"

Mu Yuan sighed and replied softly, "I understand."

"Now my internal energy has fully recovered. In the past few days, I have found that I can use it and no longer feel weak."

"What is the reason for this?"

When Doctor Qin heard this, his face lit up with excitement, his eyes shining, "It seems like it really does have miraculous effects!"

"I read in ancient books that one possibility is that when removing the Ice Soul poison, your internal strength will slowly recover as the toxin is expelled."

"This is an extremely rare situation."

Imperial Physician Qin sighed in his heart again, those guys in the Imperial Observatory are really amazing, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really not an ordinary person.

I'm so lucky to even take an antidote.

Mu Yuan didn't care much about these things. As long as he was sure that the result was caused by drinking the antidote, there was nothing to worry about.

Seeing that His Royal Highness was in a good mood, Doctor Qin boldly asked with a smile, "Your Highness, Yinan hasn't been home for three days. Your humble wife has been worried about him and asked me to inquire about his situation..."

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had asked Jiemie to investigate the problems in the Eastern Palace a few days ago. All officials below the rank of Zhanshi were not allowed to temporarily leave the Eastern Palace unless there were special circumstances.

It's already the third day, haven't they found anything yet?

"Okay, go back and tell Yinan's mother that he will be home soon."

"Don't worry, I'm in the East Palace and everything is fine."

"Thank you, Your Highness! I will not disturb you any longer and will take my leave."

After Imperial Physician Qin left, Jiemie quickly appeared beside Mu Yuan. "Your Highness, please forgive me. There was a small incident among those who stayed in the Eastern Palace, so we haven't cleared all of them of suspicion yet..."

“Small song?”

"Why are you saying this now?"

Jiemie quickly knelt down and said, "I thought it was just a small matter, so..."

"It just so happened that Imperial Physician Qin mentioned Qin Yinan. He was the one who instigated this matter."

"Oh?"

"Qin Yinan has always been steady and modest. How could he provoke trouble so casually?"

"What exactly is the reason?"

Jiemie quickly replied, "Yesterday, the Minister of State Affairs, Qin Yinan, and the Housekeeper had an argument in front of everyone over a dish of crab roe tofu."

"When Jiyu told me about this, the situation had already subsided. I didn't take it seriously at the time..."

After hearing this, Mu Yuan thought it was quite absurd.

The Chancellor and the Housekeeper started arguing over a dish in front of everyone.

This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If he saw it on the spot, both of you would be punished.

He needs to have a good talk with Qin Yinan.

Mu Yuan was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Xin Youran's voice coming from the other side of the bed curtain, "No, no, don't kill him..."

He hurried over and saw that Xin Youran's eyes were still closed, but she was still muttering to herself and her hands were struggling in the air.

Mu Yuan grabbed her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Xin Youran was helpless in this situation.

I can only comfort you softly over and over again.

"I killed someone, I killed someone! Blood..."

"There's blood everywhere, ahhh!"

Xin Youran's emotions did not ease at all after hearing Mu Yuan's comfort; instead, she became even more agitated.

Her hand was struggling in Mu Yuan's palm.

Then tears started to flow. At this moment, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked up along her hand until she saw Mu Yuan's face full of worry.

She sat up suddenly and hugged Mu Yuan tightly.

She started to cry loudly, saying intermittently: "Mu Yuan, Lao Li is dead, I killed someone..."

"I killed someone..."

"Killed a lot of people..."

"It's all blood..."

Mu Yuan felt that Xin Youran's whole body was trembling, and her neck was almost strangled by him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He recalled the night he rode his horse at full speed to save her. He saw her swing her axe far away, accurately hitting the stomach of an archer who was about to shoot in the distance...

Besides being shocked, I don't know why, but also a little relieved.

Suddenly I was glad that she was an assassin. If she were an ordinary woman, or even a man, she would have been hit by that arrow, and even a god would not have been able to save her.

How could there be Xin Youran who is hugging him tightly now?

Still a little scared, he raised his hand and patted Xin Youran's back somewhat stiffly, saying softly, "You did the right thing. It's okay now. Don't think too much."

"Be good, go to sleep, go to sleep..."

Mu Yuan patted Xin Youran's back gently until she stopped crying.

Then she found that this person had hugged her neck tightly and fell asleep on his shoulder...

He even suspected that this guy hadn't woken up at all?

Mu Yuan curled the corners of his mouth helplessly, then tried to pry her arms apart and lay her down on the bed so that she could sleep more comfortably.

But no matter how hard I try, I can't move it...

He was also afraid that if he used too much force he would wake the person up again, and he felt helpless.

I just sat on the bed and didn't dare to move.

Not until she released his neck herself did she lay him down on the bed.

He stood up and stretched his sore shoulders and arms, then realized that maybe Jiemie had seen him like that just now?

So he coughed, and soon Jiemie appeared beside him.

Mu Yuan:......

really……

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

He pretended nothing had happened and said, "Tell Qin Yinan to wait outside my study."

Jiemie quickly accepted the order.

Your Highness, why are your ears so red today? It will soon be early summer, so it won't be cold anymore...
