Chapter 320 Acting on One's Own Decisions

As soon as Yun Zhao stepped out, Zhi Xia rushed over.

"Young Miss, I think I just saw someone walk by! Could it be an assassin?!"

After a long time without any assassins coming, Zhixia thought that the people above had let them go.

Why are you taking advantage of New Year's Eve to relax?

"Sister Zhixia, quickly prepare a clean cloth, hot water, and scissors."

She looked around and pointed to an empty house.

"Clean up that room!"

"yes!"

Zhixia turned and ran.

Hearing the commotion, Xu Qingyi came out of the house and asked, "What happened?"

"Uncle Lu is back. He said someone is injured and needs my help!"

Yun Zhao offered a brief explanation, then hurriedly packed his things and left.

Lu Xun quickly led his men down. The man was covered in wounds, simply bandaged, but the smell of blood still lingered.

It's easy to imagine how badly that person was injured.

The strong stench of blood instantly agitated the wild animals in the zoo.

Hua Hua was the first to arrive at her yard.

"Hua Hua, soothe them and calm them down. Keep watch on the perimeter!"

Yun Zhao patted the tiger's head and whispered.

Hua Hua nuzzled her hand and quickly returned to the animal enclosure.

Xu Qingyi asked Zhichun to inform Xu Zhenbang, and Yunxuan walked out, leaning on his cane.

She went in to comfort her youngest son so that he wouldn't feel uneasy and start crying.

Lu Xun nodded slightly to him and led his men into the house.

"This way."

Yun Zhao calmly made the arrangements, his hands moving without pausing at all.

Following Lu Xun were people Yun Zhao had never seen before.

They were taken aback that the miracle doctor Lu Xun mentioned was a child, and even more surprised that she was so calm.

"Little miracle doctor, please!"

The group did not disrespect Yun Zhao because of her young age.

Yun Zhao nodded slightly, his expression solemn.

She skillfully cut open the bandage; it smelled of medicine, indicating that Lu Xun had used the powder she had given him.

"Uncle Lu, besides the powder I gave you, have you used any other medicines?"

She asked.

"No, he had mostly knife wounds. I used the hemostatic powder you gave me, and then came straight here after getting off the ship. He was unconscious for about fifteen minutes."

Yun Zhao nodded slightly, looking at the numerous wounds, some so deep that the bone was visible.

"Sister Zhi Qiu, please help me brew the medicine."

She turned around, took out paper and pen from the medicine box, and quickly wrote down a prescription.

There was a small pharmacy in the animal park. Zhi Qiu had already learned how to read prescriptions and prepare medicine, so she immediately took the prescription and left.

As people came and went, the group of people who followed clenched their fists nervously.

Yun Zhao worked for several hours, and she didn't stop even after midnight.

Xu Zhenbang and his men remained outside, none of them leaving.

As dawn broke, Yun Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Give him half a bowl of this medicine every hour until the high fever subsides and he will be fine. However, he is seriously injured and will probably need to rest for a long time."

"It's good that everyone's alright! It's good that everyone's alright!"

"Thank you so much, little miracle doctor, for saving my life!"

They immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"No need to be so polite. Would you like me to take your pulse and check your health?"

"Thank you so much, little miracle doctor!"

The group lined up and sat down, following Yun Zhao's instructions without daring to disobey in the slightest.

Yunxuan sat to the side, quietly observing their group.

Lu Xun watched as Yun Zhao began writing the prescription before taking the initiative to explain what had happened that evening.

“Miss Yun Zhao, does the young master of the Yuan family have a way to bring him to Linjia Village? They are from the Yuan family’s Liuxian Tower.”

Yun Zhao paused, looking at the person in front of him in astonishment.

These...men?

Hiss, is the King of Yue going to kill someone to silence them?

Facing Yun Zhao's gaze, the others understood that although he was young, he knew what Liuxian Tower was.

For a moment, everyone felt a little uncomfortable looking at each other.

"Is it the King of Yue?"

Yunxuan asked.

Upon hearing the name of the King of Yue, anger flashed across their faces.

"Perhaps it was the King of Yue, or perhaps it was Yuan Shuchang acting on his own initiative. We are people who cannot be brought into the light."

They lowered their heads, their faces showing shame.

“You were forced into this situation. You are not the ones who are wrong. You should not feel ashamed. On the contrary, those who bully the weak and embezzle public funds should be punished.”

Yunxuan looked at them with a sincere expression.

Even though the person who did this was his own brother, Yunxuan did not show any favoritism.

The crowd was moved and bowed to Yun Xuan.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jin!"

"Now that I have been demoted to a commoner, and I am a few years older than you all, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Yun. Although this place is a bit simple, it is safe enough. You can stay here and recuperate in peace."

Yunxuan's words made them very grateful, and they quickly clasped their hands in thanks.

"Thank you, Brother Yun!"

Xu Zhenbang remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking up: "You've been at Liuxianlou for quite a while now, haven't you? Have you noticed when they started to have murderous intentions towards you?"

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

From the moment they were chosen, they were destined to die.

"We've actually been trying to find a way to survive. Last autumn, we were fortunate enough to meet Young Master Luo of Tingyu Pavilion. With his help, we planned to escape from Liuxian Tower. But before we could figure out how to escape, we were killed to silence us. Fortunately, Brother Lu saved us and hid us in the cargo hold!"

Xu Zhenbang nodded slightly after hearing his words.

"The King of Yue should be very busy lately, so why would he suddenly kill someone to silence them at this time? I'm afraid Yuan Shuchang acted on his own initiative."

"Okay~ I've finished writing the prescription~"

Yun Zhao waved the prescription in his hand at the opportune moment.

"Thank you so much, little miracle doctor!"

They stepped forward, took the prescription, and followed Zhi Qiu to get the medicine, intending to decoct it themselves.

After they left, Lu Xun took out a letter from his pocket.

"When I returned this time, I encountered a cargo ship from Tingyu Pavilion, and they asked me to bring the letter back."

He handed the letter to Yunxuan, and then took out another letter and handed it to Yunzhao.

"Miss Yun Zhao, this is for you."

"Huh? For me?"

Yun Zhao blinked and stared at Lu Xun.

Before long, she suddenly realized.

This was a blatant way of telling her that Lu Xun was Young Master Jun's man.

Okay~

Yun Zhao nodded, took the letter, and opened it.

The contents of the letter were beyond her expectations.

Ling Xuerou actually instructed the Prince of Yue to make direct contact with Young Master Jun?

What made her happiest was...

Wei Jingchen ignored them!

"Father, what did the letter say?"

Yun Zhao put away the letter in his hand and looked up at his father.

"The Ling family has disappeared."

His eyes darkened slightly, and his tone became somewhat solemn.

What does "disappeared" mean?

Yun Zhao was stunned.

"I heard from Tingyu Pavilion that the Ling family was sent to Rongshu Village in Nanxi Prefecture by the Yuan family."

They had people to take care of them, but recently, the Ling family seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Yun Zhao's brow twitched, and he immediately thought of what Wei Jingchen had said in his letter.

The Ling family then made a suggestion to the King of Yue.

Then, considering that the Yuan family suddenly turned against the people at Liuxianlou.

Yun Zhao suddenly realized.

"Father, the Yuan family acted on their own initiative, and the Ling family is probably in their hands!"

The Yuan family did not only work for the King of Yue.

The Ling family's advice has failed; their chances of survival are slim!
