Yu Jingchen glanced at the kneeling concubine on the ground; her eyes looked like they wanted to devour him. But he couldn't care less about dealing with her right now.
During today's palace search, the Imperial Concubine was resting in her room. The guards only conducted a perfunctory inspection. The door to this secret room was right behind the Imperial Concubine's bed, which is why it went unnoticed.
Upon seeing the passage to the hidden room, Yu Jingchen felt inexplicably nervous.
He didn't have much time, so he went straight into the dark room. The corridor of the dark room was quite long and pitch black, with only a few dim lights.
Yu Jingchen suddenly felt uneasy. He didn't know what kind of scene awaited him inside, or if the person he was looking for was there. And if so... what should he do?
Even though Yu Jingchen had countless thoughts in his mind, his pace did not slow down at all; on the contrary, it quickened considerably, and they soon finished walking down the long corridor.
But... upon reaching the end, Yu Jingchen's pupils contracted and his heart tightened when he saw the scene inside.
Because Nan Zhiyun was directly tied up and hung in mid-air, and her whole body was covered in blood, her clothes were torn, and her exposed skin was also bleeding, which was a terrible sight.
The dark room was damp and gloomy, with only two very dim candles lit. The furnishings were simple: a table, some torture instruments hanging on the wall, candles on the table, and some bloodstains that had not yet dried.
"Put him down!" Yu Jingchen's eyes were filled with rage, and the guards immediately stepped forward to untie the ropes. As the person was slowly lowered, Yu Jingchen took the initiative to pull him into his arms.
But precisely because of this, Yu Jingchen saw Nan Zhiyun's current appearance even more clearly... Yu Jingchen even felt as if he was holding something in his arms...
A sense of dread rose in his heart; Nan Zhiyun was almost lifeless.
"Summon the imperial physician!" Yu Jingchen, usually so composed, was now behaving somewhat erratically. He scooped the person up in his arms and carried them outside at breakneck speed.
After Yu Jingchen carried the person out of the dark room, everyone was shocked. Was that Consort Nan? Even Hua You looked at the Imperial Concubine in disbelief.
"Bring me a blanket!" You could tell how angry Yu Jingchen was just from his tone.
After the palace servants brought a blanket, Yu Jingchen covered Nan Zhiyun completely with it. He then used his light-footed skills to carry her back to He'an Palace. Before leaving, he ordered, "Throw this poisonous woman into the Shenxing Division and treat her well. She mustn't die!"
When Yu Jingchen arrived at He'an Palace, the imperial physician had not yet arrived.
"Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Did he die on the way?" Yu Jingchen lost his composure.
"They're here! Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here!" Xinglai rushed over in a hurry.
The panting imperial physician followed behind him, and he felt as if his body was about to fall apart.
"Take her pulse! If anything happens to her, you'll all be asking for your lives!" Yu Jingchen said.
The imperial physician was drenched in sweat, not daring to be careless for a moment. However, when he saw Nan Zhiyun's current appearance, he was almost scared to death. Because... she really didn't look like she was still alive.
"Go and summon all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau!" Yu Jingchen immediately followed up. Upon hearing this, Xing Lai immediately went to carry it out.
