Chapter 296 The Fisherman Gains Benefit

The cliffs are rugged and the water is rushing. The dark green wet moss on the shore covers the rock surface like a black snake shedding its skin. The sound of the water is dull and surging like thunder rolling through the ears.

If I didn't speak loudly, I wouldn't be able to hear what the people around me were saying.

He Zhiyu sat high on his horse and looked coldly at the long river in the distance. The water was so deep and the river was so wide that he might not die if he fell from the cliff.

Last time on the cliff in Qingzhou, Wan Yan fell from a height into the water in the same way, and was taken by Jiang Qiyun to a thatched hut.

Jiang Qiyun.

He Zhiyu's handsome brows knitted together as he thought of this.

Before, the Emperor had mentioned that he wanted to arrange a marriage between him and Wanyan. He said a lot of nonsense at that time, but he did not simply and clearly reject the marriage.

I always thought that the two of them disliked each other as soon as they met, and were real enemies.

But now that I think about it, Jiang Qiyun has had evil intentions for a long time, but he just refused to admit it!

Jing Yuan turned his head to look at his highness's solemn and gloomy face, and said to comfort her, "Don't worry, your highness. Miss Qiao will definitely be blessed by heaven."

He Zhiyu withdrew his thoughts and responded lightly.

Suddenly, a guard came running over from a distance. "Your Highness, we found Miss Qiao downstream in the river! Miss Qiao was washed up on the shore and was seen by a hunter who brought her home. She is still alive and the doctor is treating her."

He Zhiyu kicked his horse's belly and rode away, and the guards behind him immediately followed.

There is a small village at the foot of the cliff, and the hunter's house is some distance away from the village.

On the way home from hunting in the mountains that day, he saw Qiao Yihuan washed up on the shore.

The hunter family is a couple. The son brought his wife and children to Beijing to make a living a few years ago. Now it is this couple who found Qiao Yihuan and brought him back.

Normally, the couple were not afraid of wild beasts in the forest, but at this moment, they were frightened when they saw these guards in silver armor.

Although it was clearly my own home, I didn't dare to go in and stood in the yard feeling a little uneasy.

He Zhiyu got off the horse. The couple looked at the man who was dressed elegantly and looked incredibly handsome. They knew at a glance that he was from a noble family, and they became even more frightened in their hearts.

The woman's heart was beating wildly. She had pulled the hairpin off the girl's head before and it was now in the cupboard. These people should... shouldn't find it, right?

He Zhiyu stood at the door and looked inside. The woman on the bed was covered with a thick quilt. He could tell who she was by looking at her profile.

He Zhiyu turned and walked to the yard, "Did you save her?"

The woman nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, on the way home we saw a woman on the shore. I checked her breath and found that she was still breathing, so I held her and emptied the water in her stomach and brought her home. But don't worry, my dear, it was the woman I held. My husband never touched her!"

He Zhiyu glanced at the hunter's honest appearance, turned his head to look at Jingyuan, and saw Jingyuan walk up to them and give them a few ingots of silver.

"This is a reward from my master. The person in the room was found by our master on the shore and was rescued by your family. You didn't bring him back. Remember that?"

The couple nodded repeatedly, feeling the heavy weight in their hands and accepting the offer while expressing their thanks.

This amount of silver is enough for them to never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives!

Today, I picked up a gold nugget!

A moment later, the female doctor came out and said, "My Lord, the young lady is fine now. As long as she gets more rest, she will wake up soon."

Tsuru Chiyu asked: "Besides this, are there any other injuries?"

The female doctor shook her head. "Young lady is very lucky. She didn't have any injuries. She must have fallen into the water from her back. She fell from a very high cliff. Her back is very red and swollen. But it's not a big deal. Just apply some medicine and rest."

He Zhiyu: "Is it possible to send him back to the capital now?"

The female doctor thought for a moment and said, "If the carriage runs smoothly, it won't be a big deal."

Miss Qiao didn't have any broken bones, so it would be fine for her to move to the car.

Jing Yuan looked up at the cliff that he couldn't see the top of. "It's really a miracle. Last time when the second young lady fell off the cliff, there was water below, but there were vines and trees extending from the cliff, which provided a buffer and prevented any accidents. Now the cliff is bare, and the eldest young lady fell without any buffer and still survived. She is really blessed by God."

Being able to survive in this situation is truly a blessing in one's previous life.

"But there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." The female doctor seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He Zhiyu: "Just speak frankly."

Female doctor: "Young lady has two scars on her shoulders. Judging from the scars, they must have been stabbed by a dagger. They must have been there for a while, so they are not new."

He Zhiyu had no intention of saying anything. Jing Yuan waved his hand and the female doctor shut up and retreated.

He already knew about the scar on Yihuan's shoulder when he was in Shanglin Paddock.

It was because I knew about those two wounds that Yihuan had a big fight with me.

He Zhiyu said in a deep voice: "Move her onto the carriage and return to the capital."

Jing Yuan asked: "Master, where do you want to send it?"

He Zhiyu was silent for a moment, "Her father is ill because of her. If she is sent home, I'm afraid she won't be able to recover properly. Let's place her in Luohua Pavilion."

Jing Yuan nodded, "Yes."

Guo Licheng did not learn from Doctor Zhou's mansion that Qiao Yihuan had left long ago and then return to the Prince's Mansion to tell Qiao Wanyan about this. Instead, she used the excuse that Madam Qiao was in poor health and would be anxious if she knew about this. So she followed Qiao Jibai to the Shangshu Mansion, using the excuse that she was a woman and Madam Qiao could be comforted if she knew about this.

Qiao Jibai didn't pay much attention to it. They both went into the Shangshu Mansion and reported the matter to Shangshu Qiao. Mrs. Qiao happened to be nearby and she didn't show much emotion after hearing the news.

Although Mrs. Qiao was a little weak, the only things she couldn't accept were the bad things about Qiao Wanyan, and she didn't care about other things that much.

The two did not take a carriage when they came out of the Shangshu Mansion. The Prince's Mansion was right next door and could be reached by walking a short distance.

Even when you come out of the Shangshu Mansion, you can see the hustle and bustle in front of the Prince's Mansion, and getting on and off the carriage takes a lot of time.

However, after leaving the Shangshu Mansion, the two of them stopped at the same time as they looked at the scene in front of them.

The imperial guards were everywhere.

The prince's mansion was surrounded by the imperial guards.

It's packed with people, no one can get in or out.
