The two then remembered Zhang Jie and quickly asked, "How is Lord Zhang?"
Knowing that the two were worried, Shen Jiaojiao told them the situation: "It's okay. We've already called a doctor, and he said that she should wake up after a few days of rest."
However, I, Ruyue, couldn't feel happy at all; my smile was very stiff.
Shen Jiaojiao noticed something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong with her.
Is there something you can't say?
Could it be that you want to go see Lord Zhang?
"Moon, do you want to see Lord Zhang? I'll take you there."
As soon as Shen Jiaojiao finished speaking, Zhao Ruyue looked up at her with surprise.
"Can I watch? But I feel so weak right now, I can't get up!"
"It's alright, I have a plan, wait for me!"
After saying that, Shen Jiaojiao ran out and soon came back in pushing a wheeled chair.
"Look! I can put you on this chair and take you to see it, but there's only one chair, look!"
Bai Lan immediately spoke up: "Of course, we should let Sister Yue'er go! I feel weak all over right now, so I should lie in bed and rest more. Sister Yue'er is more anxious than I am, and their relationship is obvious."
Ruyue looked at her gratefully: "Lan'er, thank you. I won't stand on ceremony. I really want to go see it."
"Okay! Go ahead!"
Seeing that the two had finished their discussion, Shen Jiaojiao carried the person to a chair, changed their clothes to clean ones, and put a cloak on them.
They pushed the person into the next room, where they found a person lying quietly on the bed.
Shen Jiaojiao pushed the wheelchair to the bedside, and Zhao Ruyue looked at Zhang Jie's pale face, tears streaming down her face.
"Moon! Don't cry, it's all over now!"
"Waaaaah... Jiaojiao, it's all my fault!"
"I was too impulsive!"
Zhao Ruyue began to speak in detail.
It turns out that when the three were first arrested, their identities were not yet exposed, but Bai Lan was locked up in a separate place.
Zhao Ruyue was worried about her and insisted on going with her to protect her. Once she went with her, Zhang Jie was also worried about her and had no choice but to go as well.
That very night, the prison guards attempted to rape the two women, as they were both extremely beautiful.
"Wow! I didn't expect there to be two beauties here!"
Zhao Ruyue still had the temper of beating her family members in the past, so she was not afraid at all. She stood in front of Bai Lan and rushed up to beat the jailer.
However, since they were all under the same roof, after one of the prison guards got into trouble, the higher-ups immediately sent people to lock the three of them up separately.
They outnumbered them, and Zhang Jie shielded the two men with his body, sustaining numerous injuries in the process.
In the end, Zhang Jie's money bag was stolen, and the jade pendant inside was recognized as a valuable item from the capital.
They then let them go, but this also revealed the identities of the three men.
Later, no one fought anymore, but the three of them were locked in a cell and placed under surveillance.
Of course, this wasn't what worried her the most.
Zhao Ruyue's hands trembled slightly. She raised her hand and groped around on the bed for a long time, but she just couldn't lift the blanket.
Tears streamed down her face from anxiety.
Shen Jiaojiao was startled by her words: "What's wrong, Yue'er? Tell me, I'll help you."
Zhao Ruyue kept calling out, "Hand...hand..."
Shen Jiaojiao thought Ruyue was going to hold Zhang Jie's hand, so she immediately opened the blanket, took Ruyue's hand, and placed it in Zhang Jie's hand.
The more anxious Zhao Ruyue became, the more her hands trembled.
Her two hands gripped Zhang Jie's hands as if she were being electrocuted.
She reached out a hand to pull her clothes up, but her hands were shaking so badly that she could only look at Shen Jiaojiao with tears streaming down her face.
"Clothes...clothes..."
Shen Jiaojiao quickly comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright, tell me slowly!"
"Clothes, lift them up!" Zhao Ruyue was frantic.
Seeing her expression, Shen Jiaojiao realized the seriousness of the situation.
He stepped forward and pulled Zhang Jie's clothes up.
Zhang Jie's clothes had been changed; his white pajamas revealed the bruises on his arms when pulled up.
Just by looking at them, you can tell what kind of harm they've suffered before.
They were indeed beaten badly.
Zhao Ruyue grabbed Zhang Jie's hand and pointed to a dot: "Here! This place has been poisoned!"
Shen Jiaojiao took a closer look and indeed found that one of the marks was different from the others.
He quickly asked, "What happened?"
After catching her breath, Zhao Ruyue spoke more fluently.
“Last night, a man suddenly came and said that if anyone was to blame, it was the Emperor. He was a member of the Liu family and knew that we were sent by the Emperor, so he wanted to take revenge when he left.”
"I saw him take a needle and stick it into Zhang Jie's hand, and then he left very quickly afterward."
"Lord Zhang was awake, but he fainted after being stabbed."
Zhao Ruyue's eyes were filled with sadness.
Shen Jiaojiao thought of the cave outside the outskirts of the imperial city, and her heart sank.
"Ruyue, don't worry, I'll find His Highness right away and have him send word to bring the imperial physician over."
Zhao Ruyue was in tears and could only nod; she was terrified that something had happened to Zhang Jie.
Shen Jiaojiao quickly went out to find Chu Tianling.
Chu Tianling became worried upon hearing this. Although he had not experienced what happened back then, the virus that could cause the emperor to massacre a village must be extraordinary.
He immediately wrote a letter and, with swift action, ordered the people in the capital to send Imperial Physician Zhang over.
Physician Zhang is the same doctor who cured Chu Tianling and the others of their poison outside the imperial city.
It is still unknown whether the Liu family has upgraded the technology after years of research.
Another concern he had was whether the disease was contagious.
Shen Jiaojiao also thought of this. She looked at Chu Tianling and said, "Let's isolate all the people who have been in contact with these three people. We'll wait until the imperial physician comes to see them before making any decisions."
Chu Tianling didn't speak; he was afraid.
Shen Jiaojiao couldn't bear to see him like this. Seeing his pitiful, silent look, she directly ordered, "Alright, don't hesitate! Give the order quickly."
After she finished speaking and left, she still needed to make things clear with Zhao Ruyue.
When I left, I left Zhao Ruyue there crying alone. Now that so much time has passed, she should have finished crying by now. I'll go check on her.
Chu Tianling watched the people leave, thinking to himself, "No matter what, we'll die together."
When Shen Jiaojiao arrived at the door, she didn't hear any crying. The door wasn't closed, so she simply opened it and went inside.
"Holy crap!!! What are you doing???"
Shen Jiaojiao was quite frightened standing at the door!
Zhao Ruyue was seen sucking something forcefully from the spot where Zhang Jie had been pricked with a needle!
When Zhao Ruyue saw the person who had arrived, she looked up and smiled at her.
Shen Jiaojiao rushed over: "What are you doing! Don't you know he might be poisoned? You'll get poisoned too if you keep doing this!"
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the spot where Zhang Jie had been stabbed, where Zhao Ruyue had sucked out a red lump.
I really don't know what she was thinking!
Zhao Ruyue said frankly, "I know! But if I do nothing, my mind will be in turmoil! I want to do something."
Oh my god...
What kind of thought process is this?!
