Chapter 148 seems regretful?
Li Mulan was busy in the house for more than an hour. Fortunately, although the injuries looked serious, they were mostly external injuries. She cleaned, sutured and applied medicine in one go without any delay.
Long Yi saw that Li Mulan seemed to have dealt with it, and asked hurriedly, "Master, is he okay?"
"After all, you are young and have a good foundation. There won't be any big problems." Li Mulan turned her stiff neck and took out a black porcelain bottle from the small medicine box. Then she looked at Long Yi with a tangled expression, "Your brother?"
Long Yi nodded, not understanding why.
"Brother?"
"Yes."
Li Mulan sighed, and then reluctantly threw the porcelain bottle to him, "Why haven't I heard you say that? Three pills a day. I tell you, this pill is very expensive, and you can't buy it even with silver. He lost too much blood, and this thing can help him recover faster."
"Thank you, Master." Long Yi was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He knew that his Master would be able to save his brother.
"Don't be so quick to thank me. We have to settle our accounts. Brothers should be clear about accounts. Let's not talk about the medical expenses. Just look at the bottle of medicine in your hand. You know that even the head of the Divine Doctor Valley only has a few bottles. Humph, I've had it for so long and I haven't been willing to give it to anyone. Tell me, how should we settle this?"
Long Yi's expression did not change at all, and he said directly, "Our master-servant relationship will be extended by another five years."
Li Mulan, who had prepared a lot to say, shut up instantly and looked at Qingyu the first thing she did. "Sister, go prepare a new agreement for him to sign, so that he won't default on his debt."
Qingyu glanced at Long Yi, and he also looked at her. The two of them looked away without saying anything.
"Okay, I'll get ready right away."
Just when Li Mulan wanted to say a few more words, there was a knock on the door.
"Junior Master, are you done with your work? Come out quickly when you are done." There is a big trouble waiting for you outside.
As soon as Li Mulan opened the door, she was frightened by the scene outside. She hadn't noticed it from inside the house just now, but the whole yard was now lit up like day by torches and lanterns. The yard was full of people, and a man was sitting in the middle. He was an acquaintance, Chu Chenfeng.
Li Mulan's parents, second uncle, third uncle, including Huo Yuanruo and Li Xi were all standing in the yard, their eyes full of worry.
"Wow, what a rare guest! The Lord Regent has come to my daughter's courtyard. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." Li Mulan's mind was working rapidly, and she guessed that it must be the trouble caused by that bastard Long Yi's brother. But there was nothing she could do at the moment. The person had been rescued, and she had already got involved in any mess.
Chu Chenfeng had been resting with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes as soon as the door opened, but he did not speak. Instead, Xing Yi stepped forward and bowed, "Miss Li, is the man you treated just now still alive?"
Li Mulan glanced at Long Yi who was already ready for battle behind her, her eyes full of warning.
"Brother Xing, you are looking down on me. Can I save him? He is alive, but he is still in a coma. He may not wake up until tomorrow."
Xing nodded and said, "Miss Li, please hand that person over to me."
Long Yi wanted to step forward but was stopped by Qingyu who was standing beside him. He gritted his teeth and finally decided not to act rashly.
Li Mulan leaned against the door with her arms folded across her chest, looking nonchalant, but the protective intention was obvious, "This person is my patient now. I spent a lot of money to save him. You want to take him away just because of Brother Xing's words? This is unreasonable."
Xingyi glanced at Chu Chenfeng next to him and continued, "This man led dozens of assassins to break into the palace with the intention of assassinating. After the operation failed, he was..." He glanced at Long Yi in the room, "Rescued by Miss Li's friend. We tracked him all the way here, and we must bring him back and interrogate him carefully."
"Assassination? Assassinate whom?" Li Mulan glanced at Chu Chenfeng, very calm.
Chu Chenfeng raised the corners of his lips, "My king."
"There are dozens of assassins. The prince seems..." She carefully looked at the man sitting in the middle, "Not a single hair has fallen."
"Listening to what Miss Li said, it seems that you are very regretful?"
"Haha, no, may the prince live for a thousand years, he will surely be able to turn disaster into safety." The disaster will last for a thousand years.
"So, Miss Li, are you willing to hand the person over to me for questioning?"
Li Mulan glanced at Long Yi, then looked at Chu Chenfeng with an embarrassed look, "Your Highness, this man is still unconscious. You can't interrogate him even if you take him back."
"Don't worry about that, Miss Li. I have my own way."
Seeing that Chu Chenfeng refused to back down, Li Mulan felt a little embarrassed, but seeing Long Yi's expression, she knew that if she couldn't protect people today, this evildoer would definitely come out with a knife to kill her.
Li Xun hurried forward, "Your Majesty, can you please consider..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Chenfeng interrupted him directly, "It's better for the Li Mansion not to interfere in this matter."
Li Xun's expression froze. He naturally understood what the Regent meant, but Lan'er...
Li Mulan interrupted, "Second Uncle, why are you joining in the fun? This is a matter between me and the Regent. Hurry up and take my parents back."
Having said that, how could Li Xun and the others listen? They just stayed where they were.
Li Mulan scratched her head, "Does the prince want this man's life or something else?"
"Human lives are of no interest to me. I only want to know the person behind him."
"Then Your Majesty, can you please give Mulan two days for the sake of our friendship? After two days, Mulan will personally give you the information about the person behind the scenes."
"If there is no information after two days..."
"This person's fate is entirely up to the prince."
Chu Chenfeng's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible smile, "Okay, then I will give Miss Li a favor and see you in two days."
Li Mulan hurriedly bowed, with a flattering smile on her face, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Chenfeng couldn't stand her fake look, so he frowned slightly, waved his hand, and left. Seeing this, Xingyi immediately followed. The other guards in the yard followed one after another, and in an instant, the yard became empty again.
Li Mulan was a little puzzled when she saw this. What was wrong with this guy? Why did he seem angry?
Zhang was the first one to step forward and hold her daughter. She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. How could her daughter have the courage to negotiate with the Regent?
Li Mulan patted the back of Zhang's hand soothingly, "Mom, it's okay."
"You...you said you...ah." After all, he couldn't bear to say a harsh word to his daughter.
Li Xun knew that his niece was a promising person, so he was not prepared to intervene. "It's getting late, big brother, you should take your sister-in-law back to rest. You have to go to court tomorrow."
Li Yi nodded and glanced at his daughter, "Lan'er... go to bed early too."
"I understand, Dad, please take Mom back quickly."
Li Yi nodded and took Zhang, who looked reluctant to leave, away.
Li Xun didn't say anything else. He wanted to ask Li Xi to go with him, but then he thought it would be good for him to follow Lan'er more and see more. So he gave her a few instructions and left alone.
