After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

Qiao Nian supported Xiao Heng and they walked in silence.

The autumn wind has already become a little chilly, and the road out of the palace has become extremely long.

After finally reaching the palace gate, Qiao Nian did not see the Xiao family's carriage. She thought that Xiao Heng must have come on horseback, and now that he was injured, it would be inconvenient for him to ride a horse again, so she said to Uncle Geng beside her, "Uncle Geng, please take General Xiao back home first."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng was stunned, "You won't apply medicine to me?"

Qiao Nian was also stunned, "Doesn't the Xiao family have a palace doctor?"

Even if there is no palace doctor, there must be someone in the Xiao family, right?

The medicines in Xiao Heng's hands are all from Medicine King Valley, and they are very effective!

Xiao Heng seemed to realize at this moment that his purpose was too strong.

He coughed lightly and said, "If my mother knew that I was injured again, I don't know how she would cry. Well, I'll just find a clinic to apply medicine! You go back first!"

Seeing Xiao Heng like this, Qiao Nian frowned slightly, and then spoke, "Then follow me back to Prince Pingyang's Mansion to apply medicine first!"

Hearing this, Xiao Heng could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth, "Will it embarrass you?"

Qiao Nian glanced at him indifferently, then said, "No."

So, Xiao Heng followed Qiao Nian back to Pingyang Prefecture.

When she saw Xiao Heng, Ningshuang's face was filled with panic and surprise.

But all he heard was Qiao Nian saying, "Take General Xiao to the guest room to rest first. I'll go prepare some medicine for the wound."

"Yes." Ningshuang responded, and led Xiao Heng to the guest room with gritted teeth, and then left.

Thinking of Ningshuang's expression as if she had seen a ghost just now, Xiao Heng's face couldn't help but darken. He felt that if Ningshuang saw Xiao He, she would definitely not look like this.

But when he thought that Qiao Nian would apply medicine to him in a while, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

He immediately took off his coat, revealing the wound on his back.

He actually knew that the guards who carried out the execution today were not too lenient, but twenty strokes of the cane, even if it was a lighter one, would still leave his back covered in bruises, which would be extremely ugly.

He thought that Qiao Nian had always been a kind person, so she came forward to support him after hearing him gasp.

So, if Qiao Nian sees the wound on his back later, he will definitely feel distressed, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Heng couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Whenever he thought that she felt sorry for him, he felt inexplicably happy.

Just then, the door opened.

Someone came into the room carrying medicine.

The cold voice said, "I'll apply medicine to General Xiao."

Xiao Heng's face darkened visibly, "Why is it you?"

Xiao He came forward with the medicine, "Why can't it be me?"

It was Nian Nian who told him to come to Prince Pingyang's Palace immediately.

Xiao Heng stood up suddenly, his face stained with anger, "Where is Nian Nian?"

"I'm taking care of Miss Meng." Xiao He put the medicine on the table, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Heng, with a faint smile on his lips, "Why, are you disappointed?"

How could Xiao Heng not see it?

He immediately frowned, sat back in his seat, and said coldly, "If you want to laugh, just laugh!"

He was just wishful thinking, thinking that he could make Nian Nian change her mind this time!

Xiao He's smile deepened. He walked around behind Xiao Heng and applied medicine to him.

The action was gentle, but Xiao Heng still slowly said with disdain, "Hiss! Can you be gentler?"

Xiao He, however, was innocent. "A dignified general can't bear this little pain? My injury is already very mild!"

Xiao Heng snorted coldly and said nothing more.

But he only heard Xiao He's voice coming slowly from behind him, "This time, you did a good job."

He didn't hear about what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion until Xiao Heng was tortured.

If Xiao Heng hadn't broken into the Prime Minister's Mansion today, Nian Nian would probably not have come out so easily.

Even if the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't dare to touch her at all, I'm afraid she would suffer.

Xiao Heng did a really good job in bringing Nian Nian out as soon as possible.

However, Xiao He's words surprised Xiao Heng. "Don't you think I'm impulsive?"

“Sometimes, being impulsive is a good thing.”

Hearing this, Xiao Heng didn't say anything else, and couldn't help but recall Qiao Nian's expression at that time.

At first, she was also surprised, apparently just like the Wan family, who did not expect him to show up.

But later, she acted too cold.

In fact, he didn't even say a word to him until he got on the carriage.

But if he could come to save her in the past, she would definitely rush towards him and hide behind him, only showing half of her head and slender fingers, pointing at the Wan family and saying, "Brother Xiao, they are the ones who bully me!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Heng couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart.

The contrast between the past and the present is simply too stark.

It also made him realize once again clearly what he had lost.

A pair of hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Those things he lost will eventually make him feel heartbroken and full of regret.

But it also strengthened his faith once again.

We must get back what we have lost one by one!

Half an hour later.

Qiao Nian was sitting in the room, in a daze.

When Ning Shuang came in, she saw Qiao Nian's absent-minded look and couldn't help but sigh slightly. Then she stepped forward and called to Qiao Nian softly, "Miss?"

Qiao Nian came back to his senses and looked at Ning Shuang, "What's wrong?"

"The two Young Masters Xiao have already gone back."

Qiao Nian said "Oh", but her mind unconsciously recalled what she saw and heard outside the imperial study.

At that time, looking at him kneeling straight and listening to that extremely firm voice, Qiao Nian admitted that he was a little dazed.

She didn't expect that Xiao Heng's appearance today actually put an end to her plans over the years.

I didn't expect that his "value" would be so loud.

But all this felt unreal to her.

She felt that his sacrifice and determination should not be given to her.

Then, she suddenly came to her senses and realized that the reason she had such thoughts was because she had never gotten these from Xiao Heng.

Even back then, when their relationship was at its best, it seemed like it had never happened before.

She felt that he would do it for the Xiao family, for the emperor, and even for Lin Yuan.

It's impossible, it's for her!

So much so that when I finally realized it was for her, the feeling of unreality was still so strong.

How could she not know why Xiao Heng followed her back to Prince Pingyang's Palace on the pretext of not wanting to worry his mother?

It's nothing more than betting that she is soft-hearted!

She didn't know whether she would feel soft-hearted after seeing Xiao Heng's injuries, but she knew that she didn't want to be soft-hearted towards him.

It's a bit shameful. I've done that for so many years, that's enough.

There's no need to make the same mistake again.
