Nan Wusi was startled and immediately jumped off the bed to check.
Nan Wusi removed the mask from the shadowy figure and discovered that it was indeed Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi!" Nan Wusi shook Xiao Yi, calling his name urgently, but Xiao Yi's eyes remained closed, showing no signs of waking up.
Nan Wusi examined Xiao Yi's body again and found that he had many wounds. So she carefully helped Xiao Yi up and then helped him to the bed.
While supporting Xiao Yi, Nan Wusi touched Xiao Yi's back and discovered that there was a long gash on his back, which looked quite serious.
Therefore, Nan Wusi could only have Xiao Yi lie on the bed in a prone position.
"Damn it, where is Xuan Li?" Nan Wusi frowned deeply. If this continued, Xiao Yi would definitely be in danger.
Without hesitation, Nan Wusi summoned Zhizhi and Momo and instructed them outside the door: "Zhizhi, go and invite the physician from the manor over. Momo, go to Prince Yi's manor and ask Xuan Li to come over. Be careful not to let anyone find out."
"Yes." Zhizhi and Momo immediately sprang into action upon receiving the order.
Then, Nan Wusi quickly stripped Xiao Yi of all his clothes, leaving him only in his underwear.
Then Nan Wusi took all the clothes and burned them. At this time, Xiao Yi also woke up.
"Sisi, did you see the feather?" The first thing Xiao Yi asked after waking up was the phoenix feather.
"I saw it, I've already put it away." Nan Wusi felt very sad. She didn't expect that even in his condition, Xiao Yi would still think of the feathers he brought for her.
"Xiao Yi, you should rest well. I've sent someone to find Xuan Li, and the general's physician will be here soon," Nan Wusi said softly.
"No, I must leave immediately. I was careless this time. I didn't expect it to cause such a commotion. The Imperial Guards will definitely come to search all the ministers who attended the birthday celebration soon." Xiao Yi spoke urgently.
"Then what are you going to do? You're so badly injured."
"Don't worry about me, I have a way to deal with it." Xiao Yi was about to get up when he felt a chill and realized that he had been stripped naked.
Nan Wusi blushed slightly when she saw Xiao Yi groping her body and looking bewildered. She hadn't had time to change Xiao Yi's clothes yet.
“Your previous night clothes were covered in blood. I took them off for you, and I haven’t had time to put on new ones yet.”
Nan Wusi originally planned to have the physician examine him and apply medicine, and then change it when Xuan Li arrived, but Xiao Yi insisted on leaving.
"What about the medicine I have on me?" Xiao Yi asked.
"It's on the table."
"Sisi, just apply the medicine for me. I'll leave after the bandage is done."
“Okay.” Nan Wusi nodded.
At this time, Zhizhi had already invited the family physician over, but Nan Wusi stopped the two of them at the door and said that the family physician was not needed and asked the physician to go back and rest.
Although Zhizhi was a little confused, she didn't ask anything and sent the doctor away from the courtyard.
Nan Wusi returned to the room and carefully applied medicine and bandaged Xiao Yi's wounds. She then handed him a new set of clothes and told him to change into them himself.
"Sisi, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself," Xiao Yi said to Nan Wusi.
"I know, I'll be careful." Nan Wusi nodded. She wasn't afraid of the Imperial Guards. No one could find the Phoenix Feather because she had already handed it over to the system.
Nan Wusi hadn't expected the Imperial Guards to arrive so quickly. No sooner had Xiao Yi left than the Imperial Guards surrounded the General's Mansion.
Fortunately, Nan Wusi's room has been cleaned up, and she forced Xiao Ba to put the bed sheets that hadn't been burned into the system space.
The system space was not originally able to store these miscellaneous items, but Xiao Ba, who had just received the Phoenix Feather, naturally did not care about this small request; it was just a waste of a little system energy.
The Imperial Guards surrounded the General's Mansion, and their leader led his men directly into Nan Wusi's courtyard, filling the entire courtyard to capacity.
Nan Wusi frowned, sensing that they had come with a specific purpose.
"Miss Nan, the palace was burglarized today. Someone saw the thief running towards the General's Mansion, so please allow us to search the area," the leader demanded in an unfriendly tone.
"How dare you! Do you think you can just search my private quarters as you please?" Nan Wusi retorted, adopting the airs of a general's daughter.
Just as Nan Wusi was wondering why these people had found her so quickly, she saw Momo hiding behind the Imperial Guards, and all her doubts were resolved.
Unexpectedly, Momo betrayed her. A murderous intent rose in Nan Wusi's heart.
At this moment, Nan Wusi appeared to be very imposing, and he alone was able to confront the Imperial Guards.
Upon learning that the Imperial Guards had stormed into the General's Mansion, Nan Wuyu rushed over and roared, "What are you doing? Do you think we're all alone in the General's Mansion?!"
"Minister Nan, the Imperial Guards, acting on His Majesty's decree, are to search all ministers who attended the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. The stolen items must be found. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!" The leader of the Imperial Guards said to Nan Wuyu, enunciating each word clearly.
After the former Minister of Revenue, Tang, was exiled, Nanwuyu took over the position of Minister of Revenue.
"If Minister Nan has any complaints, he can appeal directly to the Emperor. Search him!" The Imperial Guard leader gave the order.
Just as Nan Wusi was about to make a move, Nan Wuyu stopped him first, blocking the doorway as he spoke.
"Commander Zeng, search every other place in our General's Mansion, but if you just let me search my little sister's private quarters like this, how will she ever get married!"
Nan Wuyu looked sharply at the leader of the Imperial Guards and said, "You can search if you want, find a few of your trusted maids and nannies, but any other man who tries to step into my little sister's boudoir will face the wrath of my General's Mansion."
At this moment, Nan Wuyu's imposing aura stunned the Imperial Guards, causing their leader, Commander Zeng, to hesitate.
Although he was ordered to search, the general's mansion made it very clear that a search was allowed, but men were not permitted to enter.
He was in the wrong. If the General's Mansion really pursued this matter, even if it reached the Emperor, he would definitely be the one to suffer in the future.
So he ordered his men to immediately find several palace maids and nannies, and they stood facing each other at Nan Wusi's door.
"Commander Zeng, I'm very curious. Why did you come straight to my courtyard after arriving at the General's Mansion? Even if someone saw a thief going to our General's Mansion, there's no guarantee that anyone would be in my courtyard in such a large mansion."
Just as the two groups were facing off, Nan Wusi looked at Commander Zeng and asked him a question. Although she had some guesses in her mind, she wanted to confirm them.
