Chapter 235 It turned out to be him
Between the red bricks and tiles, Qi Ji could only see the girl lying on the ground.
Shen You curled up, but one could faintly see her paleness and pain.
At this moment, Qi Ji felt as if he had returned to his childhood, that terrifying childhood of being bullied and scolded.
No, it's more terrifying and painful now than it was then.
At least, at that time, all the things and all the injuries were caused by myself.
Instead of being like this now, watching the girl that he held dear to his heart curled up on the ground in pain, her life or death unknown.
Qi Ji almost stumbled to Shen You's side, his voice trembling: "Youzi...you, how are you?"
Shen You took out the imperial edict from her bosom and stuffed it into Qi Ji's arms: "Go and save sister Awan. She was captured in Kyoto Prefecture. I want to find A Ning..."
Maybe it was because of the pain or something, but Shen You’s vision gradually became blurred, and he eventually fainted and lost consciousness.
"Okay, I'll take you to find Ah Ning, Youzi, don't sleep, I'll take you to find Ah Ning!"
Qi Ji picked up Shen You and rushed out of the palace.
Song Lingyu chased after him, stopped Qi Ji, and said, "We have an imperial physician. Let's go to the Imperial Hospital. They are much better than that little girl."
Qi Ji tried hard to suppress his anger and said, "We only trust Ah Ning."
Although Qi Ji was extremely angry and only had a little rationality left, he could still understand what had just happened.
The one who injured Youzi was between Song Lingyu and that young lady.
Sooner or later, he would ask them to pay back this debt.
Qi Ji hugged Shen You tightly and carried her out of the palace.
"Hurry, let's go to the Shen family." Qi Ji took Shen You to the carriage and instructed his servant.
Seeing that Shen You looked unhappy, the servant said, "Sir, just now someone from the family came to report that Miss Ning went to the Duke of Qi's mansion. We..."
"Go to Duke Qi's Mansion!" Qi Ji ordered.
"Yes." said the servant.
Qi Ji carefully put Shen You on it and looked at her with great heartache.
Her usually rosy cheeks turned pale and beads of sweat kept dripping down, soaking her collar.
Qi Ji took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat off Shen You.
Shen You woke up several times, but fell into coma again immediately.
It repeats over and over again, and it's very annoying.
Qi Ji looked at the imperial edict that Shen You had stuffed into his pocket. It probably said something like, "The emperor's grace is great, no matter what happens, Zhou Wan will be pardoned."
Sister Awan?
Could it be that Aning went to the Duke of Qi's Mansion for this matter?
In the end what happened?
It took only an incense stick of time for the carriage to stop. Zhou Ning, who was impatient, refused to stay in the house and had already been waiting at the gate of the Duke of Qi's mansion.
"A Ning, Yuzu fainted!"
Qi Ji's usually calm and gentle face was now obviously panicked. He held the woman tightly in his arms as if he was holding a rare treasure.
After Zhou Ning saw the woman's face clearly, he panicked and made a quick decision: "Quick, find a clean and dry room and put Youzi on the bed."
Everyone was in a rush, and finally only Qi Ji, Shen You and Zhou Ning were left in the room.
Zhou Ning took Shen You's pulse and gave her acupuncture.
Qi Ji half-knelt beside Shen You's bed.
The two of them looked worried from beginning to end.
"Fortunately, it's just a superficial wound." Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing serious."
Qi Ji was still worried: "We are all martial artists. If it was just a superficial injury, how could he faint from the pain?"
Zhou Ning was a little hesitant, but she also felt that there was nothing she couldn't tell Qi Ji, so she said, "Well... Youzi is having her menstrual period today, so it's not suitable for her to get emotional and run around. Also, because of my sister... By the way, did Youzi say anything to you, or give you anything?"
Qi Ji took out the imperial edict from his arms and held it with both hands: "This is the imperial edict. It can be exchanged for Sister Awan's life."
Zhou Ning took the imperial edict and was very happy. She wanted to save Awan, but she was still a little worried about Youzi.
Qi Ji smiled gently at Zhou Ning: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Youzi."
Zhou Ning finally felt relieved, knowing that Qi Ji would take better care of her than herself.
There was no need to take a carriage. Zhou Ning jumped on the horse and headed straight for Kyoto Prefecture.
When he arrived at Kyoto Prefecture, Zhou Ning saw Shen Zhong standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.
"Brother-in-law, shouldn't you meet my sister now?" Zhou Ning asked.
Shen Zhong looked desperate: "They wouldn't let me see your sister, nor would they let me see the governor of Kyoto. They stopped me outside and wouldn't let me in. Ah Ning, it's my fault."
Shen Zhong's complexion was not much better than Shen You's, both looked pale.
Zhou Ning touched the imperial edict in his arms. He did have an imperial edict, but if he shouted it out directly outside, it would be too conspicuous.
Moreover, pardoning the criminals in Kyoto Prefecture would easily lead to the impeachment of the old emperor.
It’s okay if I get scolded a few times, but what if the emperor gets upset and blames Youzi?
Zhou Ning directly pulled out the jade hairpin on her head, and her three thousand strands of black hair were all loose.
She put the hairpin against her throat, her eyes sharp and resolute.
"If you won't let me see it, then fine, I, Zhou Ning, will die in front of your Kyoto Palace. When the princess, General Cui Zhien, and the Su family come to you to ask for the body, you can stop them in the same way."
Zhou Ning's hands were nimble, and the hairpin had already penetrated a little, oozing blood.
These yamen runners have seen many scare tactics, but they have never seen one that is so realistic.
If the hairpin was a little deeper, Miss Zhou Ning would probably have died in front of them.
Shen Zhong was also startled, but he knew Zhou Ning knew what he was doing and did not try to stop him.
"Girl, please think twice. Your life is your own." The bailiff advised.
Zhou Ning held up the hairpin and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Tell your Kyoto prefect that either he comes to see me today, or I die at the gate of your Kyoto prefecture!"
The bailiff was so frightened that he dared not speak a word and hurried to find the governor of Kyoto.
This little girl looks so delicate and charming, but she is actually so cruel that she could even kill herself.
After a while, the yamen runner invited Zhou Ning and said, "The prefect has invited you, but only Miss Zhou can go."
Zhou Ning thought about it for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll go."
She still held the hairpin in her hand, and a stream of red blood had already flowed to her collarbone, staining her white collar red.
The bailiff dared not say anything and only brought Zhou Ning before the prefect.
Zhou Ning was on guard against everything around him, ready to fight at any time.
"A Ning, long time no see, have you grown so big?"
Zhou Ning looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man sitting lazily under an osmanthus tree. He was wearing an official uniform but no hat, looking like a free and easy peacock.
He held up a folding fan with a cup of osmanthus wine and a few osmanthus flowers floating on it.
Zhou Ning was surprised, but still did not let down his guard.
Zhou Ning looked at the man and said slowly: "Long time no see, Ji Yanli."
