Chapter 23: Hidden in my house, locked by my side
Fahua Temple.
After Deng Youning was taken away, Deng Yi could only leave in anger.
Although he was not familiar with the appearance of the servant who rescued him, the other party was wearing the clothes of his Zhenguo Mansion. So he would go home and dig three feet into the ground to find this person and torture him!
Only in this way can he relieve his anger.
Han Qiongyue and Nanny Dou did not see Deng Youning come back until the ceremony was over.
Nanny Dou asked the maid to look for it, but to no avail.
Just when I was about to ask the monks in the temple after the ceremony was over, there was suddenly a commotion at the entrance of the main hall.
"Oh no! It's all blood. The back hill is all blood..."
A monk ran in madly and shouted.
The other monks were afraid that he would offend the nobles who were attending the ceremony, so they hurried to stop him.
Everyone was attracted by his shouting.
"Wu Chen, what happened? Tell me slowly."
The old abbot finally came out to take charge of the situation.
"Back mountain!"
"Just now during the Dharma Assembly, a group of people were fighting in the back hills. It was very fierce and the ground was covered with blood."
"Also... Junior Brother Wuzhi's room is empty and he is gone too."
The monk named Wu Chen was about to see everything that would happen.
He was the person who prepared lunch in the temple's dining hall. When he went to the back mountain to pick vegetables, he happened to pass by the place where Deng Youning and the others had just fought. He was frightened and hurried to the main hall to report the situation.
When Han Qiongyue heard this, the first person she thought of was Deng Youning who had not returned yet.
There were signs of a fight, so it was most likely her.
Without waiting for anything anymore, Han Qiongyue rushed to the place Wu Chen mentioned.
When the other people in the hall saw Han Qiongyue rushing over in such a hurry, they found it a little strange and followed her.
The ground was covered with blood.
There are still fragments of clothing on the rocks of the mountain.
The strong smell of blood filled everyone's nostrils.
"Madam, it is the Second Miss, for sure. I remember that this flower binding is what she wore today."
Nanny Dou soon found a hairpin with flowers wrapped around it.
She still has a vivid memory of the emerald green bamboo leaves.
Han Qiongyue's eyes widened in horror, looking at the flower bundle in disbelief.
"Ningning's martial arts skills are extremely high. Who could hurt her and kidnap her?"
She concluded that since Deng Youning could not be found in the temple, she must have been abducted by those criminals.
She was so angry that she had trouble breathing.
"Don't worry, Madam Han. This happened in my Fahua Temple. I will definitely give you an explanation."
The old abbot is quite responsible.
He immediately mobilized the entire temple to search for the young monk Wuzhi who had left the temple for no reason.
To be able to become the abbot of a temple, he must have certain abilities.
From the first day Wuzhi entered the temple, he could see that this person had not completely eliminated his seven emotions and six desires.
Why didn't he leave earlier or later, but left the temple today?
The abbot felt that this person might be related to the disappearance of Madam Han’s granddaughter.
"Look for her. Go back and call for help. Even if you have to search the entire capital, you must find Ningning!"
Han Qiongyue also gave orders to Nanny Dou and others.
"Old Madam, how about I take you back to your house to rest first?"
Nanny Dou was worried about Han Qiongyue's health and made a suggestion.
"No, Ningning got into trouble here. Abbot, please prepare a meditation room for me. If I don't find Ningning, I will stay here for the rest of my life."
She has given the order.
Whether it is the abbot or Madam Dou, they can only obey orders.
After such a thing happened in the temple, the other people who came to attend the ceremony felt it inconvenient to stay for long and they all said goodbye and left.
The young man holding the beads found some white powder in the back mountain.
Out of curiosity, she asked the servant to take some back with a silk handkerchief.

The Imperial Palace.
After receiving the news that Deng Youning was injured and taken back to the villa, Li Tianzhuo rode back as fast as he could.
When passing by the Han family, he did not forget to call Jun Chenyi who was hiding in the Han family.
Yaowang Valley happened to be in his fiefdom.
Over the years, he has also learned a lot from the disciples of Medicine King Valley.
He has made some achievements in medical skills.
In Li Tianzhuo's heart, he is at least better than those imperial doctors who only eat the emperor's food.
After all, Jun Chenyi is entering Beijing secretly now, so it is not appropriate to let too many people see him.
In order to treat my cousin's injuries, I even wore women's clothes!
When they arrived, Deng Youning's external injuries had already been treated and medicine had been applied.
The maids changed her into a clean dress.
The person is still in a coma.
"How is the person?"
Li Tianzhuo's voice arrived before he did.
As soon as he reached the door, he asked loudly about Deng Youning's situation.
When Xiu Ming heard his master's voice, he hurried out to greet him.
"Master, you are finally back, Miss Deng..."
Xiu Ming didn't dare to continue speaking and let Li Tianzhuo see for himself.
Li Tianzhuo couldn't wait for him to hesitate.
The person on the bed had a bandage on his forehead, his arm was suspended by the bandage, the corners of his mouth were bruised, there were obvious pinch marks on his neck, and there were five finger marks on his cheek.
That little face was so white it was scary.
Even though he was unconscious, his brows were tightly furrowed.
Li Tianzhuo couldn't imagine how many injuries she still had.
"Ning Ning..."
With a choked voice, he looked at the unconscious girl and couldn't help but reach out and touch her left hand that was wrapped like a dumpling.
"My Lord, be careful. The young lady's wrist bones are broken. When she just came back, her whole arm was off."
The little maidservant standing by, who had never seen such a serious injury, was almost crying with fear.
Her words also made Li Tianzhuo retract his hand.
"Any other injuries on her body?"
Li Tianzhuo clenched his fists, trying hard to suppress his anger, and asked the maid with red eyes.
The maid seldom saw him, and it was the first time she saw the master of the house so anxious. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little timid.
"Don't think too much, just tell the truth."
Jun Chenyi took a step forward and comforted her.
He was wearing women's clothes, but when he spoke he spoke in a rough man's voice, which frightened the maid even more.
"Little Miss, there are more than ten scratches of varying sizes on her body..."
"The worst part is... my back. There's not a single piece of good flesh on it."
The maid finished her words haltingly, and taking advantage of the moment when Li Tianzhuo and Jun Chenyi were stunned, she bowed and left.
Her words were like a bolt of lightning to Li Tianzhuo.
God had mercy on him and gave him a second chance to live, so why did he still fail to protect Ningning?
He should have taken Ningning away before she went to Beijing, hidden her in his own house, and locked her up by his side...
"Don't worry, they are just external injuries, not fatal."
Jun Chenyi said comfortingly.
Seeing Deng Youning so seriously injured, his cousin felt distressed.
"Let me check her pulse first to see if she has any internal injuries."
As he spoke, Jun Chenyi had already felt Deng Youning's pulse.
But his frown deepened.
"She was poisoned by a special cartilage powder. I'll go get the antidote."
Li Tianzhuo looked at Jun Chenyi suspiciously.
What kind of cartilage powder could poison Deng Youning, who is immune to all poisons?
Although Jun Chenyi knew that Deng Youning was immune to all poisons, he did not know that her blood could cure all poisons.
This is also a way for Li Tianzhuo to protect Deng Youning.
If the secret that blood can cure all kinds of poisons were to be made public, Deng Youning would be like a rare treasure, and all parties would scramble for her.
Although Jun Chenyi is not an outsider, Li Tianzhuo has to be more careful.
"Xiu Ming, call the person who brought her back."
Li Tianzhuo also had to carefully examine the cause and effect.
How dare you hurt Ningning like this.
No matter who it is, he doesn't want the other person to live well!
