Chapter 231 She was here!
They waded through the water and came to the unconscious person. After seeing Qi Minxiu's face up close, Xiao Mo cried again with excitement.
She brushed the hair away from his face, took a quick look at his body, and then she and Shen Yun carried him back to the inn.
After a series of examinations, Xiao Mo found that he had only suffered some minor skin injuries and no vital injuries.
In addition to losing some blood and being hungry for a few days, he fainted. He will recover as long as he takes good care of himself for a period of time.
Originally, Xiao Mo and Shen Yun had no hope and were prepared for Qi Minxiu to be gone.
Being able to find him in such an extreme environment really made her feel that she was blessed by God.
After helping Qi Minxiu change his clothes, Shen Yun went to boil medicine for him.
In the room, Xiao Mo stood by the bed, her left hand tightly holding Qi Minxiu's right hand, staring at his face with longing eyes without moving.
She hadn't looked at this face seriously for a long time, probably about one or two months.
His deep and three-dimensional facial features seem like carefully carved works of art.
His thick eyebrows are as soft and powerful as a bowstring, and his high nose bridge adds a touch of heroic spirit to his face.
The closed eyes give people a sense of tranquility and comfort, and the smooth lines and well-defined jawline exude a masculine beauty.
If he were a woman, he would probably be even more stunning than his mother.
As Xiao Mo watched, she couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently stroke Qi Minxiu's cheek, sliding from his eyebrows to the corner of his lips.
Even when they were together every day, she had never looked at him so carefully.
Now that they were separated, she realized that even taking a serious look at him had become a luxury.
"Ash, I'm sorry..."
She said this subconsciously, and then she came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Just at this moment, Shen Yun came in with medicine.
Seeing her angry face, Xiao Mo couldn't help but smile: "What's wrong? Who offended you?"
"It's that lady boss who promised to lend me her pots and stove, but after she finished making the medicine, she asked me for money."
"When you talked to her before, did she say it was free?"
Shen Yun thought for a moment and shook her head: "No."
Xiao Mo rolled her eyes at her and took the steaming bowl of medicine from her.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. You've delayed someone's stove and pot, so it's only natural that they'll ask you for money. How much did you give?"
"Two cents."
"That's not much. Forget it. Go make the medicine tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Don't wait for others to ask for it. Give it first. It's courtesy."
Shen Yun curled her lips in displeasure: "I know."
Xiao Mo pursed her lips, scooped up a spoonful of medicine and blew on it: "When you go out, you should be polite before using force. If others still make things difficult for you even after you have been polite, then just use force."
Shen Yun nodded thoughtfully: "Miss, you are right. I will remember it."
Seeing that she was having some difficulty feeding Qi Minxiu the medicine, she hurried over and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Go find me some more pillows."
Xiao Mo blurted out, but was rejected by Shen Yun: "I don't want to go to that black-hearted boss lady again! I couldn't help but curse at her just now."
Xiao Mo's expression changed instantly, and she raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Then go over and help him sit up so I can give him the medicine."
When Shen Yun heard that she was going to touch Qi Minxiu, her attitude changed. She chuckled and shook her hands repeatedly.
"The lady just gave me a lecture. I'm going to apologize to the boss lady right now and ask her to, uh, buy some pillows."
Looking at her fleeing back, Xiao Mo curled her lips and smiled.
It was already late at night after she had fed the medicine. She hadn't rested for many days, and now that she had relaxed, she soon felt sleepy.
Although there was another room next door for her and Shen Yun to rest, she couldn't leave Qi Minxiu alone in the room.
Shen Yun was just like her. After finishing what she was supposed to do, she felt sleepy.
After simply saying hello to Xiao Mo, he returned to his room and fell asleep on the bed.
Xiao Mo sat on the edge of the bed, holding Qi Minxiu's hand neither tightly nor loosely.
When she was extremely sleepy, she would lean on the bed rails and take a nap. When she woke up, she would stare at Qi Minxiu's face.
She stayed with him like this for almost the entire two nights.
On the third day, Xiao Mo felt that he was almost waking up, so she took Shen Yun away.
Before leaving, they went to the prefecture and left some clues about Qi Minxiu at the door.
In the afternoon, Qi Minxiu slowly woke up and was slightly stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
Hadn't he fallen into the river with the enemy and been swept away by the whirlpool? How did he end up here?
With a head full of questions, he sat up gently, thinking he would feel dizzy or something, but he didn't. Instead, he felt refreshed.
He looked down at his changed clothes and touched his long hair that was casually tied up, and his confusion grew even more.
Was he rescued by someone?
Qi Minxiu looked around while guessing.
Suddenly, a bold idea popped into his mind: would he be captured and imprisoned by the enemy?!
Otherwise, why is there no one in the room?
He walked to the window and was about to push it open to look outside when he caught a glimpse of a familiar hairpin on the dressing table next to him.
This hairpin... Qi Minxiu walked over, picked it up and looked at it carefully.
It was A-Mo! It was his A-Mo who came!
Yes, that's right, he bought this hairpin for her on Chang Street during the last holiday.
At that time, Xiao Mo was fascinated by the wooden hairpin and insisted on having it. He thought it was too plain and told her to go to Prince Chen's Mansion to pick out one she liked. However, she refused and only wanted this one.
If it was something else, he might have doubted it, but he had such a strong impression of this thing that it was impossible for him to make a mistake.
But, shouldn't she be in the Imperial City or the Eastern Palace now? Why is she here?
Qi Minxiu's burning heart instantly died down when he thought of this.
This thing is not specially made, maybe it can be sold on the street.
He looked up at the room and sighed sadly.
This is an inn. There are many possible origins of this hairpin. It could belong to the innkeeper, or it could have been accidentally dropped by the previous tenant.
In short, any one of them is more likely to have been here than Xiao Mo.
On the other side, Xiao Mo, who was about to leave the city, touched her head accidentally and was shocked to find that a hairpin was missing.
It would be fine if this hairpin fell on the road, but it would be terrible if it fell into the inn and was discovered by Qi Minxiu.
She couldn't let him know that she had been here, let alone let him know that it was she who saved him.
Otherwise, if he knew the truth that she was deliberately distancing herself from him, he would definitely ruin her original plan.
"Yun, we have to go back."
"What's wrong, Miss? If we go back now, what if His Highness wakes up? Wouldn't we be caught red-handed?"
Shen Yun looked at her in confusion, wondering why she suddenly wanted to go back.
