The driver turned pale with fright, fearing he would be extorted, and ran away.
Qi Wanting had no martial arts skills, and being thrown like that, her chances of survival were slim.
She had even closed her eyes in despair; all she wanted was to see Yu Cheng one last time. Why was fate so cruel to her?
Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.
Just then, a slender figure flashed by and flew towards Qi Wanting, grabbing her waist and catching her steadily.
"Young Madam!"
Qi Wanting suddenly opened her eyes, her legs were weak, and her whole body was still hanging on that slender figure.
"Its feathers?"
She grabbed Qi Yu's arm and looked at her anxiously: "Qi Yu, how is Yu Cheng? How is he?"
Zhu Yu walked over. He knew that his sister-in-law was extremely clever and that Luo Wang and Lu Jinpei were not someone who could be fooled. But he did not expect that they would be found out so quickly.
He was worried about this matter, so when he saw that his brother had been settled, he immediately returned to the mansion, thinking that he should keep it from her for three days no matter what. After three days, when his brother was out of danger, it would be fine even if his sister-in-law found out.
As it turned out, these three were so useless that they couldn't even hold out for an hour.
When Qi Wanting saw Zhu Yu, she released Qi Yu and grabbed his arm tightly. She looked at Zhu Yu with extreme anxiety, her hands were ice-cold and trembling uncontrollably: "Xiao Yun, tell me, tell me, how is your brother?"
Zhu Yu didn't like women other than Lu Xiaoyun touching him, but he knew he shouldn't push her away at this time: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, my brother is fine now. Mr. Lu's medical skills are superb. With him here, my brother will be safe."
He smiled slightly at her to comfort her, and also took the opportunity to free his hand from her grasp. This woman was really strong when she was nervous; her arm was probably red from being pinched.
"You're not lying to me?" She was terrified of being deceived by Luo Wang and his gang, and she was already filled with regret for not accompanying her husband to send Lu Jinpei and the others to visit him in prison.
Yu Yi said he had been stabbed in the heart by a hairpin, and his life was hanging in the balance...
Qi Yu helped the unsteady Qi Wanting up: "Young Madam, don't worry, Miss didn't lie to you, the young master is indeed fine now. Because the Anwang Mansion has a full range of medicines, and Mr. Lu is the Anwang Mansion's physician, the young master was moved to the Anwang Mansion for convenience."
Qi Wanting swayed and almost fell to the ground. She pinched her wrist hard, telling herself not to faint. As long as her husband was safe, she would be willing to shorten her lifespan by ten or twenty years.
She looked at Zhu Yu, her face pale: "Take me, take me to see him..."
Zhu Yu nodded.
Just then, the two stable boys finally arrived, and upon seeing Zhu Yu, they knelt down with a thud: "Young Miss..."
Zhu Yu glanced at the two of them. They couldn't even catch up with a woman who had just learned to ride a horse. If he and Qi Yu hadn't arrived just in time, his brother would have been safe, but his sister-in-law would have been in serious trouble.
"Return to your residence and receive twenty lashes!"
Neither of them dared to utter a single word of dissent.
It was only half a street away from the Prince An's mansion. Qi Yu helped Qi Wanting, and the three of them walked towards the Prince An's mansion.
The Duke of Zhenguo and Zhu Dan entered the palace; they needed to report the events of the day to the old emperor.
The Prefect of Jingzhao, Jia Si, also went. He was dejected and looked like he didn't know what to say.
Since Li Quan hired someone to assassinate Prince An last year, the Prefect of Jingzhao has changed three times in just over half a year. Is this position cursed or what? Jia Si is really complaining endlessly.
Jia Si was actually a man of action. In the six months since he took office, he had done a lot for the people. The Duke of Zhenguo knew that he couldn't be blamed for this. Every government office had one or two corrupt officials.
He personally pleaded for Jia Si, and the old emperor did not demote him, but instead fined him for half a year.
After leaving the Imperial Study, Zhu Dan also thanked the Duke of Zhenguo. He had personally promoted Jia Si to that position, as there were very few capable and talented people in the Great Zhou court.
Lu Yucheng has been settled in Lu Yuyan's Zhaoxi Garden.
Before departing from Jingzhao Prefecture, Feng Yan, on Lu Xiaoyun's orders, returned to the Prince An's residence and instructed the steward Yuan Wang to immediately send someone to prepare a room.
Lu Xiaoyun was somewhat taken aback when she saw Qi Wanting. She looked at Zhu Yu, who shook his head slightly at her. This girl was too smart, and Luo Wang and Lu Jinpei were too useless.
Upon seeing the young mistress, Luo Wang immediately knelt down: "Young...Young Mistress..."
"Get up. I know you're doing this for my own good, and I don't blame you."
"Your Highness Prince An, thank you very much." Qi Wanting bowed deeply to Lu Xiaoyun.
Lu Xiaoyun hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but then realized it wasn't right. She was Prince An now, a man, so she withdrew her hand halfway and let Qi Yu help her up: "Young Madam Lu, there's no need for such formalities. Go inside and see, the young master Lu is alright now."
Qi Wanting responded with a "yes" and stood at the door, but hesitated to push it open.
Lu Xiaoyun and Zhu Yu left together, and also chased away all the servants in the courtyard.
Lu Yuyan happened to open the door and came out. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Qi Wanting: "Young Madam Lu".
Qi Wanting's face was deathly pale. Lu Yuyan stepped aside and said, "Don't worry, Madam Lu, the young master is alright."
She leaned down to thank him, saying, "Mr. Lu saved my husband's life; you are of immense kindness..."
Lu Yuyan offered a helping hand: "Young Madam Lu, you're too kind. I am a doctor, and a doctor's duty is to save lives. Please go in. With you here, I believe Young Master Lu will wake up soon."
He didn't tell Qi Wanting that Lu Yucheng was still in great danger these past three days.
But Qi Wanting was an extremely intelligent person. Hearing him say this, she knew that her husband's condition was very dangerous and that she had to make sure he woke up as soon as possible.
When Qi Wanting entered the room, she saw that although he had changed out of his blood-stained clothes, they were still lying to the side, and a large patch of blood on his chest was shocking.
The person on the bed was pale and lay there quietly.
She walked over and tightly grasped Lu Yucheng's hand, then splashed large drops of scalding hot water onto it.
Lu Yucheng's hand twitched slightly, but it was only a very subtle movement.
Qi Wanting was so heartbroken and distressed that she didn't even notice.
Lu Xiaoyun and Zhu Yu returned to the front yard. The two sat facing each other in silence. Without Lu Xiaoyun saying anything, she knew that Ayan would do everything in his power to save her brother.
The trip to Jiangnan, which was originally planned for the day after tomorrow, will also be canceled.
My maternal grandfather is not in good health right now, so I can't upset him. I can only use the same excuse that my father used to fool Qi Wanting to talk to Uncle Lin, and tell him to go back first, and they can go together when my brother is feeling better.
Knowing that her sister-in-law was unwilling to leave her brother, Lu Xiaoyun asked Jiang Chuan to move a soft couch to her brother's bedside and told her to take care of herself as well.
Qi Wanting's eyes were swollen like walnuts. She thanked Jiang Chuan softly and then used a hot towel to clean Lu Yucheng's face and body.
Lu Yuyan went to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and had the young apprentice brew it. He then personally brought it in. Tonight, he and Qi Wanting needed to stay with Lu Yucheng, as Lu Yucheng was very likely to develop a high fever.
