296 Was It the Prince Who Asked You to Come Here?

“Oh well, It seems that you will have to stay at my house for a while longer, but don’t worry. When you recover, I will let you work as a laborer at my house for a period of time. Take it as a payment for my hard work,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile as she teased him.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Thinking that he could continue to stay here, Nine suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with being injured. At least, he did not have to leave again.

Gu Qingxue sat by Nine’s bed. After observing him for a while, she asked, “Nine, tell me what exactly happened and why you were attacked.”

Nine had guessed that Gu Qingxue would ask about this, he cleared his throat and said, “I don’t know what exactly happened either. I left the village at that time and wanted to go to the woods to find some firewood. However, I was suddenly attacked and hurt my eye. “Although I tried my best to resist, I was still hurt by the other party. In addition, I couldn’t see clearly, so I grabbed the other party’s weapon and left after injuring him. At that time, my mind was in a panic. I didn’t know whether the other party was dead or not, so I ran away in a hurry…”

Listening to Nine’s description, Gu Qingxue could clearly imagine the dangerous scene at that time.

Who exactly was it that wanted to kill Nine so many times?

“Didn’t you see that person’s appearance? Or did you remember anything important?” Gu Qingxue asked concernedly

Nine, however, shook his head in confusion.

Gu Qingxue could not help but feel a little disappointed. “It’s alright. You don’t have to think so much first. Rest assured and recuperate. I’ll go and discuss with the Royal Highness about letting you stay next door.”

Nine’s condition was not good. It would take him a few days to recover his eyesight.

However, she had to go to work every day and did not have time to take care of Nine.

Seeing Gu Qingxue’s silence, Nine’s expression changed slightly.

Knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door, and a familiar sound came from outside the door.

“Lady Gu, I’ve been ordered to bring Young Master Nine to recuperate next door. Is it convenient for me to go in?” The man’s voice came from outside the door.

Gu Qingxue stood up to open the door. She looked at a black-robed secret guard who looked familiar waiting respectfully outside the door.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Gu Qingxue recognized the secret guard in front of her. “I’ve seen you by the Royal Highness’s side before. I remember that your name is Liu Yi?”

Liu Yi nodded. “Yes, I’ll have to trouble Lady Gu to remember. Lady Gu, the Royal Highness said that the Young Master often came to your place and caused you a lot of trouble. This time, Young Master Nine was attacked and his injuries were serious. Lady Gu may not be able to handle it alone. The Royal Highness especially asked me to bring Young Master Nine over and find someone to take care of him. Lady Gu only needed to take care of the Young Master Nine’s injuries then.”

Gu Qingxue was very surprised.

The Royal Highness had never been a meddlesome person. Why would he take the initiative to send someone over?

“Young Master Liu Yi, please come in and talk.” Gu Qingxue took the initiative to open a path for Liu Yi to enter.

Nine’s hearing was very sharp. When he heard Liu Yi’s footsteps stop, he asked, “Did the Royal Highness ask you to come over?”

Liu Yi smiled and said, “Yes, I’ll take care of Young Master Nine from now on. You can call me Liu Yi.”

Nine did not respond. His attitude was very cold.

“Young Master Liu Yi, I’ll leave him to you. Be careful not to let his wound touch any water. Everything else is fine.” Seeing that Liu Yi agreed, Gu Qingxue instructed Liu Yi before leaving to prepare the medicine.
