Guided by the palace maids, Nan Zhiyun went to Qianxia and the others' residence. This time, they had truly suffered an undeserved calamity, and Nan Zhiyun felt very guilty.
The palace maid was originally going to announce the news, but Nan Zhiyun stopped her, feeling that it was unnecessary to make such a fuss.
Qianxia was startled when she saw Nan Zhiyun; she wasn't in such a state as to be lying on the bed. Strictly speaking, Yu Jingchen had shown mercy yesterday... but not really. It was more accurate to say that the executioners had shown mercy, and Yu Jingchen had turned a blind eye.
"Your Highness?" Qianxia was somewhat surprised and was about to bow when Nan Zhiyun stopped her: "No need, I just came to see you. It was my fault yesterday that I implicated you." Nan Zhiyun felt guilty looking at the palace maids who had been punished.
"It was our negligence, it has nothing to do with Your Highness," Qianxia replied.
"I brought you some medicine. It's quite effective. Try it in a bit." Nan Zhiyun looked at the palace maid beside her, who then took out the medicine.
"Such good medicine, how can we servants accept it? Your Highness, please rest assured, we servants are tough and resilient, and besides, those people showed mercy yesterday, so we are fine." Qianxia declined.
"No, I've already brought it over, you have to use it whether you want to or not." Nan Zhiyun placed the medicine aside. Qianxia understood Nan Zhiyun, and couldn't refuse any longer, so she could only thank her.
"Where is Jiang Ji?" Nan Zhiyun asked again. Since everyone here was a woman, Jiang Ji wasn't with them.
“Jiang Ji is seriously injured…” Qianxia hesitated for a moment before saying.
Nan Zhiyun was somewhat stunned. Weren't they all treated the same way? Why was it so serious?
Seeing Nan Zhiyun's question, Qianxia quickly replied, "Yesterday, Your Highness's horse went out of control. Jiang Ji held the reins the whole time and didn't let go, so his hand was seriously injured and he also had abrasions on his body."
He was then followed into the woods, where he was beaten again. His body had been abused before, so the injuries were more severe.
"Have you summoned the imperial physician?" Nan Zhiyun asked with some concern.
"He's just a servant, and it was a punishment bestowed by His Majesty. He only took the medicine because of Your Highness. It's impossible that a special imperial physician would come. I heard he still had a fever last night," Qianxia continued.
Is it that serious? Nan Zhiyun was shocked. How could this be?
"Your Majesty, should I go and fetch a royal physician to take a look?" The palace maid beside her was quite perceptive.
"Go and invite them, I'll go and take a look too." Nan Zhiyun had originally been concerned about the differences between men and women and hadn't planned to go, but now she couldn't.
The palace maid sent someone to summon the imperial physician, and then took Nan Zhiyun to Jiang Ji's residence.
When Nan Zhiyun went in, she didn't see anyone else, only Jiang Ji sitting at the table pouring water and coughing incessantly.
His hands were wrapped in thick gauze, and he looked pale and frail. Jiang Ji was probably malnourished, which was why he was so thin.
Jiang Ji didn't seem to notice when Nan Zhiyun entered without announcing herself. Perhaps because of his severe hand injury, Jiang Ji's hand was trembling as he held the pot, which looked like it was about to fall. Nan Zhiyun went over and took the pot from him.
