Chapter 131 Shu Shu was frightened
Those people were resolute; after realizing they couldn't escape, they only uttered one sentence.
"We are destined to die here."
After saying this, the remaining three people immediately took poison and committed suicide, all collapsing to the ground.
Nan Yunjing checked their breaths one by one, but none of them survived.
He reached out and searched them carefully, but found nothing that could identify them.
Sima Yue stepped forward from behind and clapped his hands at Nan Yun Jing. He was full of admiration in his eyes. He really hadn't expected to be able to witness everything that happened. Nan Yun Jing's skills were truly well-deserved.
Hearing the applause behind him, Nan Yunjing stood up and apologized to Sima Yue, "Their target is me. I've caused trouble for you, young master."
Sima Yue was extremely excited. He hadn't been hurt at all, and seeing Nan Yunjing's skill only strengthened his desire to bring Nan Yunjing under his command.
He also showed magnanimity.
"It's alright, but I wonder which person Young Master Nan has offended, that they would come to assassinate him?"
Nan Yunjing had also thought about it in his mind, but he couldn't recall his enemies.
Inside the house, the little dumpling was so frightened by seeing Nan Yunjing gouge out the man's eyeballs that she fell to the ground, trembling all over.
Qing'er brought hot water, and Yan Yun wiped her down several times. Han Shu also stood by and called her name, but it was still to no avail.
Worried that something might happen, Yan Yun took a handkerchief from the side and stuffed it into the little dumpling's mouth, just in case she bit her tongue when she convulsed.
She patted Qing'er and gestured to take her pulse.
Qing'er suddenly realized, "It's a doctor."
Yan Yun nodded.
Qing'er immediately ran outside.
In the corridor, Sima Yue and Nan Yunjing were still talking.
Qing'er stepped forward and knelt down before Sima Yue, "Young Master, please ask a doctor to examine Miss Shu."
Sima Yue's expression darkened, and Nan Yunjing also sensed something was wrong.
Sima Yue asked, "Is Shu Shu injured?"
Nan Yunjing had already walked into the house, and in her desperation, Qing'er had no choice but to muster her courage and grab him.
"Young Master Nan, Miss Shu was frightened by you."
Sima Yue looked at Nan Yun Jing's still bleeding hand. Indeed, Nan Yun Jing just now was like a demon from the underworld, capable of gouging out someone's eyes. A child would naturally be frightened if they saw that.
"Young Master Nan, please wash the blood off your hands and change into clean clothes before coming over."
Sima Yue immediately instructed the accompanying physician to follow Qing'er into the house to check on Shu Shu's condition.
Sima Yue glanced at the corpses in the corridor.
"Drag him into the room next door."
After the attendants dragged the four corpses into a nearby house, Sima Yue did not go with Qing'er to see Shu Shu. Instead, she ordered her men to strip the assassins naked, and lay out their accessories, knives, and hair ornaments one by one.
Sima Yue looked at it carefully again and again, but couldn't find anything suspicious. It was just an ordinary outfit.
When they made a move, their physical skills were not particularly distinctive.
Sima Yue instructed his attendants, "Have the painters paint their faces and send them back to the capital."
Sima Yue then went to see Shu Shu.
Everyone is waiting for the doctor.
The doctor examined Shu Shu's mouth, tongue, eyes, and face, and told Han Shu that Shu Shu was not ill, but rather frightened.
Han Shu and Yan Yun had a rough idea of what was going on, but they didn't expect Shu Shu to be so frightened.
No one expected to encounter an assassination attempt.
Han Shu looked at the doctor and asked if there was any relief.
The doctor said, "You'll probably need someone to stay with you tonight. If you can get through this smoothly, you should wake up tomorrow. However, you must not be subjected to any more stimulation in the future, otherwise it will become a serious illness."
After he finished speaking, he remembered the medicine, "I'll go and add the medicine here, and I'll send it over as soon as the decoction is ready."
"Then please go quickly, sir."
After the doctor left, Han Shu stood aside and looked at Shu Shu: "You little rascal, get well soon. Once you're better, I won't tease you anymore."
Yan Yun was aware of his worries.
Seeing Shu Shu's current state, Yan Yun also felt uneasy.
Qing'er handed over another handkerchief.
Nan Yunjin changed her clothes and washed off the bloodstains before going into the house.
He spotted Shu Shu trembling at a glance.
He quickened his pace, stepped forward, and took her hand.
"Shu Shu".
The little dumpling trembled even more violently when it heard the sound.
Han Shu, standing to the side, said, "It's best if you don't show up for now, otherwise, she'll be more easily agitated if she opens her eyes and sees you."
Nan Yunjing also realized that it was his carelessness.
He didn't expect Shu Shu to come out with him.
But this was not something he could control. If he didn't resist, he would only face death.
Nan Yunjing felt regretful, but also understood that Han Shu was right.
If Shu Shu woke up and saw him, she would probably be even more frightened.
That prophecy has always been true: no one close to you will have a good end.
A sudden wave of loss washed over Nan Yunjing.
Although Yan Yun did not discover it, he felt that what Mr. Han Shu said might not be entirely correct.
Shu Shu's favorite character is Nan Yun Jing. Although she is afraid, it's because she faced death directly at a young age, and it was a man-made death, so naturally she would be afraid.
But Shu Shu wasn't afraid of Nan Yunjing, and that's what Yan Yun thought.
Just as Nan Yunjing got up to leave, although he and Nan Yunjing weren't particularly close, he wasn't speaking up for Nan Yunjing's sake, but because he felt that Shu Shu would definitely prefer him to stay.
Yan Yun grabbed Nan Yunjing's hand and held it tightly together with Shu Shu's hand.
Han Shu immediately disapproved of Yan Yun's actions, "Why are you going against me, girl? Look how scared that little girl is!"
Yan Yun knew, but she looked at Han Shu and pointed at Shu Shu's small mouth.
Her eyes were closed, but she kept murmuring.
If you get close enough, you can hear her calling out the name "Brother Nan".
She kept calling out to Nan Yunjing.
Han Shu didn't approach, so naturally he didn't know. He felt he couldn't figure out what Yan Yun was thinking. He stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Then I'll leave this place to you. If anything happens to her, you'll be held responsible."
Han Shu turned and left.
Yan Yun's two attendants also left the room, after all, they were protecting the young lady from the shadows.
They stood in the window that the assassin had smashed, the night wind whistling through them.
Qing'er kept changing the hot water.
Yan Yun helped Shu Shu wipe her forehead, neck, and arms, carefully wiping any areas that were constantly sweating.
Nan Yunjing looked up at her.
Yan Yun's gaze was fixed on Shu Shu.
Nan Yunjing immediately looked away. Shu Shu's face grew paler and paler, and her hands grew colder and colder. Nan Yunjing was a little scared.
He held his hand and remembered the gentle female voice that used to hum songs when he was a child, which could soothe him.
He didn't care whether Yan Yun was beside him or not, and hummed softly: "The night is deep and quiet, the moon hangs on the tree, and the sky is full of little stars, shining..."
He hummed softly.
Yan Yun paused for a moment, but only for a second; she did not look at Nan Yunjing intentionally.
Few men can achieve this, and even Zheng Jihua might not be able to.
Hearing his humming, Qing'er's movements inside the room softened, and only his soft voice could be heard.
Yan Yun watched as Shu Shu became increasingly quiet, and her breathing gradually became even. He figured she must have heard Nan Yun Jing's voice.
Once Shu Shu had completely calmed down, the doctor brought up the prepared medicinal soup.
Nan Yunjing was about to feed him when Yan Yun reached out and took the food from him.
He's so careless, he doesn't even try it. What if he burns her?
Yan Yun took the medicine bowl over and gently scooped some out with a spoon, but before she could even touch it to her lips, she found it was still a bit hot.
Feeding them like this definitely won't work.
She blew on it gently, and had to try again. Nan Yunjing looked at her, puzzled.
Why did you take the medicine?
