Xiao Jingyun knew nothing about Jiang Ziyi's experience. He entered the palace as usual and first went to find Princess Mingyue, but found that Princess Mingyue did not give him a good look.
Because Mingyue has discovered that every time he enters the palace, it is not just for her. Every time he leaves her palace, he will go to see that little bastard. Even he comes to see her so frequently, maybe just to see that little bastard. Her self-esteem does not allow this to happen. She can't wait to see how Xiao Jingyun looks when he sees that little bastard today.
She was certain he would never dare to stand up for that little bastard. After all, she was the most honorable princess of the Shen Kingdom! Standing up for a lowly bastard was not a good deal no matter how you looked at it. Moreover, she could take this opportunity to teach him a lesson and tell him who he should be courting!
Just thinking about this, Mingyue couldn't contain her excitement today.
After Xiao Jingyun left, Mingyue called the palace maid beside her.
"Bai Xue, follow him. If he wants to hire a doctor for that little bastard, tell him that he must cut off all ties with that little bastard!"
"Yes, Your Highness." The palace maid named Bai Xue understood and followed Xiao Jingyun's steps to the side hall.
Mingyue was drinking tea and had already begun to imagine Jiang Ziyi crying miserably to Xiao Jingyun. Just thinking of this scene, she felt that she had turned the game around.
In fact, she didn't like Xiao Jingyun that much, and always treated Xiao Jingyun as her own dog. But if her dog became interested in shit, she didn't mind giving the dog a lesson as well!
Xiao Jingyun first asked his servant to get a gift for Jiang Ziyi, and then he went through a hidden path to the side hall where Jiang Ziyi was. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he found that Jiang Ziyi was not sitting in the courtyard waiting for him as usual.
Moreover, the whole yard was unusually quiet today.
"Ziyi?" He tried calling Ziyi's name, but received no reply.
Xiao Jingyun looked at the half-open door and walked in tentatively, only to find Jiang Ziyi lying on the bed with a look of pain on her face.
At this moment, he didn't care about the taboo between men and women. He strode forward and touched Jiang Ziyi's forehead with his hand. It was hot!
The wound from last night's beating was bleeding again, even staining the bed sheets.
"Ziyi, what's going on!"
"Brother Jingyun...Princess Mingyue said I can't see you anymore..."
"Is it...was it Mingyue who did it?" Xiao Jingyun was a little bit unbelievable. He had been very secretive every time he came to see Jiang Ziyi, so how come he was still discovered by Mingyue.
"Brother Jingyun... I'm fine. It's Ziyi's fault. I shouldn't have caused you any trouble..."
The girl spoke weakly while lying on the bed. Her lips had turned pale due to blood loss and she looked extremely weak.
"I'm sorry, I'll find the imperial physician for you..." Xiao Jingyun was originally worried that Jiang Ziyi would cry because of this and ask him to help her get justice. If she had such a request, he would not be able to do it because of family ties and he could not offend Princess Mingyue.
Jiang Ziyi also knew this, so she would not make such a request. If she did, Xiao Jingyun would not only be unable to do it, but would even think that he was being unreasonable, and this would reduce his guilt!
"Young Master Xiao." Bai Xue, who came with Xiao Jingyun, appeared at the right time.
"The princess has ordered that if you want to find the imperial physician to treat you, you must promise to have nothing to do with her from now on. Otherwise, next time it won't be as simple as just a couple of beatings." The blatant threat in his words was not concealed at all.
There was a complicated look in Xiao Jingyun's eyes, and Jiang Ziyi saw it all while lying on the bed.
She even knew what he would say next. It was nothing more than saving her, and now he had no choice but to give up on her.
Xiao Jingyun seemed to have endured great pain, and after a long while he replied, "Okay."
After receiving Xiao Jingyun's affirmative answer, Bai Xue looked at Jiang Ziyi with a contemptuous smile and turned to find the imperial physician.
Xiao Jingyun turned to Jiang Ziyi and said, "Ziyi, I have no other choice to save you."
The pain and confusion expressed on his face didn't give any sign of any other selfish motives, as if he was truly doing this for her wholeheartedly.
Even if a man is going to abandon a woman, he will still create a persona of deep affection. If he is really capable in the future, he might even think of returning to the woman.
It’s a pity that she is no longer Jiang Ziyi from her previous life.
"Thank you, Brother Jingyun, you are so kind to Ziyi. Ziyi is already satisfied..."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and stopped looking at him.
She actually closed her eyes because she was too lazy to open them, but in Xiao Jingyun's eyes, this behavior seemed as if she was heartbroken and didn't want to look at him again.
In fact, Jiang Ziyi knew that she should be able to recover from her injuries on her own even without consulting a doctor, because she had the amulet she bought from the system, and she could feel her body slowly recovering.
But in order to make the play go on perfectly, she decided to go along with the plot.
Soon Bai Xue came with the imperial physician.
"Mr. Xiao, please go back."
Bai Xue's finger pointed at the gate of the yard.
Before leaving, Xiao Jingyun looked back at Jiang Ziyi for the last time. Jiang Ziyi still closed her eyes and didn't want to look at him. He had no choice but to leave in pain.
Maybe he is also in pain now, but he is only in pain because Princess Mingyue asked him to separate.
After the imperial physician arrived, he found that the wound was not very deep. There was only some fever, but it had gradually subsided and stabilized. Was it worth asking him to make a trip?
Clearly, in the past, those he had treated and punished by the Empress had been beaten horribly, so how come this person's injuries weren't serious? Could it be that the Empress had been more merciful recently?
