After a while, there were noises coming from around the yard, and many servants came to the vicinity of Hanmei Courtyard with torches.
Jiang Ziyi heard the noise outside, quickly took off Ji Shuyan's clothes, and helped him onto the bed.
Then he quickly stuffed the black clothes that Ji Shuyan was wearing under the bed and hid them.
She pretended to fetch water and left the house, not forgetting to leave a few footprints on the side of the courtyard wall with her shoes.
Sure enough, after a while, a group of people rushed into Hanmei Courtyard.
And the person leading the group was Nangong Muyun.
Seeing someone coming out of Ji Shuyan's room, he said coldly: "Did you see any suspicious people enter the yard just now?"
Jiang Ziyi immediately guessed that the suspicious person they were talking about should be Ji Shuyan who was just dressed in black.
She calmed herself down, pretending to be innocent and shaking her head, "My Lord, you know that the Second Young Master is ill. I've been so busy taking care of him that I have no time to worry about anything else..."
Nangong Muyun snorted coldly after hearing this. "He fell ill right after something big happened in the mansion? Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
"If you don't believe me, then come with me inside. I also need to get some water for the Second Young Master to cool him down. He's unconscious and can't get out of bed."
Jiang Ziyi said this very frankly. Besides, Ji Shuyan really had a fever. Even if Nangong Muyun went in to check it out personally, he would have nothing to say.
Nangong Muyun stared at Jiang Ziyi for a long time, then actually walked into the house.
Jiang Ziyi did not stop him when she saw this.
As soon as Nangong Muyun entered the house, he smelled a lingering smell of medicine in the room.
He stepped forward and checked the temperature of Ji Shuyan's forehead, and found that he did have a high fever.
And the temperature is very dangerous. Looking at him, he is already unconscious.
Nangong Muyun lowered his eyes and looked coldly at Ji Shuyan lying on the bed, thinking viciously in his heart that if he was burned to death like this, he would not have to bother to do it in the future.
Seeing that Ji Shuyan was cleared of suspicion, he had no plans to stay here for long.
After all, his father had just been injured by an assassin who appeared out of nowhere. Even though the garrison forces in the mansion were mobilized, the man still managed to escape.
Moreover, when he saw how sick Ji Shuyan looked just now, he didn't think he could be equated with the agile assassin.
His most important task now is to find out the whereabouts of the assassin. If his father was injured in the Marquis' Mansion and the assassin escaped, it would be a great shame and humiliation if this matter were to be spread!
But he had just clearly seen the assassin coming towards Hanmeiyuan, so how could he suddenly disappear?
So Nangong Muyun took his men to search Hanmei Courtyard carefully again, and finally found several suspicious footprints on the wall on one side, so they guessed that the thief had climbed over the wall to go somewhere else.
So he continued walking with the group of people.
Jiang Ziyi curled the corners of her mouth when she saw the group of people walking away.
I didn't expect that Nangong Muyun actually believed it just because I left a few footprints. He was so stupid. No wonder he was stepped on by Shu Yan later.
How stupid and arrogant.
When the area around Hanmei Courtyard returned to silence, Jiang Ziyi did not forget her business.
She quickly fetched some water, wrung out the towel and went into the house.
Although Ji Shuyan may have just done something earth-shattering, it is also true that he is so sick that it makes ghosts and gods weep.
Ji Shuyan, who was lying on the bed, had a burning forehead and was curled up in a ball, feeling cold all over.
Jiang Ziyi could only keep wringing out a towel and applying it to his forehead to cool him down, and then use a wet towel to wipe his limbs to cool him down.
Then he went to the yard, lit a small stove, and boiled the medicine prescribed by the doctor during the day.
I managed to feed some of it with a spoon.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Ji Shuyan's condition finally improved slightly.
My body temperature gradually stabilized and I felt much more relaxed.
Jiang Ziyi stared at his sleeping face and gradually felt sleepy. She leaned on the side of Ji Shuyan's bed and fell asleep.
However, after she fell asleep, she had a dream. In the dream, black waves submerged her. Ji Shuyan stood coldly on the shore watching her float and sink. She could not hear his voice, but could see his lip shape.
What he said was, “I’m never going to trust you again.”
The moment Jiang Ziyi recognized this sentence, she suddenly woke up.
It was already bright outside, and Ji Shuyan was sitting up, staring at her quietly.
Jiang Ziyi quickly turned around and touched her face to make sure she wasn't drooling while asleep, then turned to Ji Shuyan and said, "Master, you're awake."
"After I fainted last night, did anyone come to look for me?" Ji Shuyan asked in a low voice.
Jiang Ziyi nodded and told him in detail what happened last night.
Then he asked, "Sir, will they suspect us again?"
"No." Ji Shuyan said this with certainty.
"So what were you doing last night?" Jiang Ziyi didn't know what Ji Shuyan did last night. She only knew that Nangong Muyun said that something big happened in the mansion last night.
"I'm going to assassinate Nangong Hou." Ji Shuyan said this very calmly.
Jiang Ziyi: ...
No wonder there was such a big commotion in the mansion last night.
Only then did Jiang Ziyi realize that the old Marquis Nangong was actually killed by Ji Shuyan himself.
"Did I do the right thing in this matter?" Ji Shuyan suddenly spoke.
But his eyes were not focused, and it was unclear who he was asking.
