Chapter 210 Finding Lan Yin
After saying that, he turned around and left with Ji Yunshu.
Behind him, Lu Ningshuang shouted at the top of her lungs, "Zhao Shen, how could you do this to me?"
The tone sounded as if Zhao Shen was a heartless man who had done something wrong to her.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but shudder when he heard it.
Zhao Shen held her hand tightly and said, "You are so afraid of the cold, why did you come out to join in the fun?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Lu Ningshuang's kung fu to be so powerful. Fortunately, you gave me a weapon to protect me."
Zhao Shen said: "I gave you the things just in case, not to let you take risks."
He didn't say a word to Ji Yunshu about this because he didn't want her to be implicated.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I know you're doing this for my own good, but you also saw that Lu Ningshuang was coming for me. Naturally, I'm the more useful bait. Otherwise, with how well she hides, who knows how long it would take you to catch her? You don't have that much time right now, do you?"
Zhao Shen was helpless: "Since I'm already here, I'm sure I can catch her quickly. You're too bold. What if she doesn't play by the rules and does something to you? What will we do then?"
"I've thought about it. Although she's a little crazy, she's not completely irrational. In fact, she's quite clear-headed. She definitely won't kill me directly. As long as she doesn't die, everything else will be fine."
Listening to her well-reasoned words, Zhao Shen felt that she still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter: "Lu Ningshuang must have thought so too, that's why she is so unscrupulous, but you have to know that there are many ways in this world to make life worse than death."
Ji Yunshu was of course aware of how much Lu Ningshuang hated her. If she fell into her hands, it would be better for her to live a life worse than death.
She hugged Zhao Shen's arm and said coquettishly: "Aren't we in tune with each other? I know you will protect me and won't let me fall into her hands."
Zhao Shen didn't know what to do with her. After a long while, he could only touch her head and said, "Don't take risks like this in the future. I have plenty of ways to capture people. You don't need to use yourself as bait."
Anyway, the matter was already done, and Ji Yunshu didn't want to listen to him nagging, so she nodded repeatedly and said very obediently: "I know."
Zhao Shen was not a talkative person, so seeing her like this, he let the matter go.
"I should thank you for what happened today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to capture Lu Ningshuang so easily."
Ji Yunshu said with some concern: "Well, help me find Lan Yin first."
Zhao Shen said, "We've already gone to look for her. Lu Ningshuang has been hiding on the farm these days, and Lan Yin is probably also hiding in the farm."
Ji Yunshu then remembered that the manor next to Zhao Shen's was the Lu family's manor.
Although Lu Ningshuang had previously revealed that she had left the capital, they speculated that she had not left.
But no one expected that she would be living in the Lu family's farm at this time.
"Everyone has their darkest moments. Lu Ningshuang is truly heartless. She doesn't even care about the Lu family at all."
Zhao Shen said, "This can be considered an opportunity. The Emperor has been planning to replace Prime Minister Lu. He didn't have a good reason before, but now Lu Ningshuang has come upon him. Although she is considered dead, she is still the legitimate daughter of the Lu family."
Ji Yunshu was silent for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Does Prime Minister Lu know about Lu Ningshuang's affairs?"
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "If Prime Minister Lu was really kept in the dark by his daughter, then it's not unfair for him to lose his position. Besides, based on what Lu Ningshuang did, it's enough to kill all nine generations of her family."
Ji Yunshu couldn't tell what she was feeling. She certainly didn't sympathize with Lu Ningshuang and Lu Xiang.
"I think Mrs. Lu really doesn't know anything."
Not only was she nearly killed, but Mrs. Lu's family also suffered severe consequences.
Zhao Shen said: "The emperor does not like to implicate innocent people. Although the Xia family was plotted against by Lu Ningshuang, the emperor also confirmed that the Xia family is fine. Xia Xiuzhu has already gone to Yongzhou. As long as he does his job well, the Xia family will not be implicated by Lu Ningshuang."
Ji Yunshu also knew something about Xia Xiuzhu's affairs. The eldest son of the Xia family was a good person, but the next head of the family was sent to a remote place like Yongzhou. How could he say that he was not implicated?
However, she also knew that as long as the Xia family was sincere enough, the emperor would not treat them unfairly in the future.
Although it is no longer the time for the aristocratic families to control the imperial power, their power is undoubtedly still enormous.
Not long after the two of them returned, Shen Qin came back to report that he had found Lan Yin.
Seeing that he looked unhappy and hesitated to speak, Ji Yunshu knew something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "How is she?"
Shen Qin glanced at Zhao Shen, who nodded, "Go ahead."
Shen Qin had no choice but to say, "She was tortured and her injuries were severe."
"Where are the people?"
Shen Qin said: "Sent him back to his room, and called a doctor."
After hearing this, Ji Yunshu ran out.
For convenience, Lan Yin lived in the room next to hers.
When she went in, there was already a doctor taking her pulse.
Ji Yunshu only took one look and all the blood in his body rushed to his head.
Lan Yin was covered with a quilt, so no one could see what was on her body. However, her originally pretty face was covered with many cuts.
The blood was not cleaned up and dried on his face, making his whole face look hideous and terrifying.
Ji Yunshu's tears suddenly flowed down. She knew why Lu Ningshuang did this. She hated her and wanted to destroy her face.
Lan Yin took all the blame for her.
"Lan Yin..." She wiped her tears and looked at the doctor, "How is she?"
The doctor shook his head and said regretfully, "Everything else is fine, but this wound on your face will definitely leave a scar."
Ji Yunshu also saw that the wounds were very deep, and they were meant to destroy Lan Yin's face.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I understand. Please help her treat the wound first."
The doctor quickly said, "This is what I should do."
The doctor took great pains to clean Lan Yin's wound and wrote out a prescription before leaving.
Ji Yunshu sat by the bed and waited until Lan Yin woke up.
When Lan Yin opened her eyes and saw Ji Yunshu, she burst into tears of joy and said, "Master, I knew you would save me."
Seeing tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, Ji Yunshu quickly took a handkerchief to wipe them away for her: "Don't cry, you're fine."
Lan Yin quickly remembered what happened before she passed out. She reached out to touch her face but didn't dare to move. Seeing Ji Yunshu's red eyes, as if he didn't know what to say to her, she comforted him, "Master, don't be sad. It's just this face. It's ruined, so what? Anyway, I've never thought of getting married. As long as you don't despise me, that's all."
Ji Yunshu held back her tears and said, "How could I dislike you? Don't worry, I've sent someone to the palace to ask my aunt for the Jade Snow Cream. Your face will be healed."
Lan Yin sucked in a breath of cold air. Yuxue Cream was a secret medicine in the palace for removing scars and beautifying the skin. Because the herbs needed were extremely rare and precious, there were only a few bottles of it each year, and even the high-ranking concubines in the palace might not have them.
The master actually wanted to give her such a precious thing.
Even though Lan Yin knew that Ji Yunshu always treated her like a family member, she was still somewhat flattered. "Master, how could you let a servant use such a good thing? My face is not a concern. Besides, it was because of my carelessness that I was captured."
Ji Yunshu shook his head. "Don't say anything. You got this injury for me. I must find a way to heal it. Tell me how Lu Ningshuang took you away."
