Chapter 47: Rescue "Du Ruo!" Du Ning hurriedly caught up with Du Ruo, facing...
"Du Ruo!" Du Ning hurriedly caught up with Du Ruo, his face as gloomy as water: "Where are you going?"
Du Ruo was already scheming because of her curiosity, but when her brother saw her, she was caught off guard and too guilty to meet Du Ning's eyes. She stammered, "Let's... let's go to the garden together."
Du Ning was furious, "You're still strolling around the garden..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Yan Heng, soaking wet, scurrying towards him, holding a similarly soaked person in his arms. Looking closer, it was none other than Concubine Ji, who had been so cheerful and cheerful at the banquet just two minutes before.
Everyone saw it on the spot and widened their eyes in shock.
Seeing Yan Heng approaching, the brave one hesitated and said, "General, what's going on?"
This person is Du Ruo.
Du Ning glared at his sister, who then flinched. He was about to apologize on his sister's behalf when Yan Heng said in a hoarse voice, "Excuse me, everyone."
Yan Heng's face turned ashen, and he did not slow down his pace despite the attention of the crowd.
The wind in the dead of winter blew on Yan Heng's wet face like a knife. His thick clothes were soaked with water and seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. They were cold and wet and stuck to his body. The hems were frozen and he shivered with cold.
He felt cold, so how much colder would Yuanyuan be? He couldn't help but hug her tighter.
The person he was holding burrowed into his arms, gasping for breath uncomfortably.
Every sound is heart-wrenching.
Yan Heng immediately carried the person into the house and repeatedly instructed:
"Call Doctor Li!"
"Boil the ginger soup!"
"Bring me some hot water bottles."
"The more vigorous the earth dragon burns, the better."
......
The actions and words were so familiar that it made Yan Heng feel dazed. She suddenly remembered the snowy day when she was brought back.
At that time, she was like a fragile, enchanting butterfly destined to die.
Thinking of this, Yan Heng's eyes moved uncontrollably to her pale and unusually red cheeks, and his eyes turned red.
He promised to take good care of her.
He prided himself on being a man of his word, always keeping his word, but he repeatedly broke his promise to take good care of her.
Wet by the water and exposed for too long, Yan Heng's hands and face were still cold. He held Ji Yunchan's cold hand, pressed it against his neck, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Yuanyuan... I'm sorry..."
Hot water was always available, and the maids quickly filled the hot water bottle and changed Ji Yunchan's clothes. The earth dragon burned even more vigorously, and just as Yan Heng took the ginger soup, Doctor Li arrived.
Ji Yunchan was unconsciously fed two mouthfuls of ginger soup, which caused her to choke and cause her body to tremble as she coughed violently.
Perhaps the choking water in the pool cast a shadow on her heart. When Yan Heng tried to feed her again, she clenched her teeth and struggled, refusing to drink.
Yan Heng was extremely anxious and begged: "Yuanyuan, open your mouth..."
The man who has always been unruly and never bows his head is like a trapped beast. He hides his claws and fangs and gently touches the fragile, dying butterfly in his arms with his softest flesh pads. He is helpless and at a loss, as if facing the most precious treasure in the world.
As soon as Doctor Li came in, he was shocked by Yan Heng's appearance.
Compared to the first time, he obviously adapted quickly this time. His mind raced over the young master's deep affection and the ill-fated fate of the young lady from the Ji family, and he came to the bedside.
He saw Yan Heng feeding him ginger soup gently and carefully, without his usual decisiveness. Seeing that he was not conscious, he felt quite anxious.
"Young Master, you can't feed him ginger soup like this. Just pour it down." Doctor Li opened his medical kit and said to Yan Heng firmly, "Besides, you already jumped in there. Drink a bowl and change your clothes. Let someone else do the feeding."
As he said this, he stood up and tried to snatch the bowl from Yan Heng's hand, but failed. He glared at Yan Heng with a look of disappointment.
Yan Heng was stunned for a moment, then calmed down a little and let go of his hand.
"Uncle Li, you are right." He spoke in a hoarse voice, picked up the ginger soup that was served to him at the right time, drank it all, then stood up and went behind the screen, quickly changed into clean clothes.
He took the dry cotton cloth from the maid and wiped the water off his hair, thinking that he had just caused more trouble by worrying about love.
After my hair was dried, my mood finally calmed down.
He walked out and looked at Ji Yunchan on the bed——
She was surrounded by a large group of people, including the doctor who was treating her and the maids who were working, and they all took good care of her.
So Yan Heng stood there and said to Doctor Li, "Uncle Li, I leave my wife to you. I'll go take care of this matter. There are guests outside the door, and I have to deal with them."
As soon as these words were spoken, the maids looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Hey, hey." Doctor Li responded and assured, "Don't worry."
Yan Heng nodded when he heard the voice, turned around and walked out.
Doctor Li came back to his senses, placed three fingers on Ji Yunchan's pulse, and carefully felt it. Suddenly, he was shocked.
…
By the time Yan Heng left the house, the news of Ji Yunchan falling into the water had spread among the guests like wildfire.
Some people wanted to go forward to show their concern, but when they saw Yan Heng's frosty face, they hesitated and did not dare to go forward.
Soon, they heard someone struggling and shouting behind them. Turning around, they saw a servant carrying someone towards them. When they saw that the man was Wang Kang'an, they were even more shocked.
He was in a dishevel and was pushed forward by the servant. His former elegant image was gone.
Du Ruo in the crowd widened his eyes in disbelief.
The general, who was usually very careful, suddenly stepped forward and kicked Wang Kangan.
Everyone gasped in shock.
The kick was delivered with full force, knocking Wang Kang'an to the ground. The latter screamed and called out to him in panic, "General, I don't know..." But Yan Heng did not give him a chance to speak. He grabbed the front of his lapel, pulled him up from the ground, and punched him hard in the face.
The punch was extremely powerful. Wang Kangan was just a weak young man who had never practiced martial arts. He was hit hard and immediately vomited blood.
Yan Heng threw the man to the ground, and Wang Kang'an flew out like a puddle of mud, lying on the ground wailing.
Amid the guests' exclamations, Wang Yuan and his wife pushed their way forward. Seeing their son lying on the ground, bruised and battered, Mrs. Wang nearly fainted. Wang Yuan, his dim eyes wide open, met Yan Heng's murderous gaze and spoke tremblingly, "General, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Yan Heng said coldly, "You might as well ask your good son."
Wang Kangan was so scared that he crawled towards Wang Yuan and his wife, not caring about the looks around him. He was as helpless as a dog: "Mom and Dad! Save me! He wants to kill me!"
Wang Yuan's chest heaved. "No matter what, I am still the governor of Shuozhou! The general beat my son for no reason. I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the people of Shuozhou!"
"What a Shuozhou citizen!" Yan Heng sneered. He looked at Wang Yuan with a stern look: "For no reason, you say?"
"He tried to do something indecent to my wife. I didn't beat him to death, which was a light punishment. What can you do?"
The crowd was shocked.
It's not just because of this matter, but also because of the word "wife" he said.
"Wife?" Ji Yunchan was a criminal, exiled here. How could she possibly be the wife of a Second Rank General? Could the rumors be true? Were they really engaged as children?
For a time, families in Shuozhou who had daughters of marriageable age felt sorry for them.
Compared to everyone else's complicated emotions, Du Ruo's reaction was much simpler.
She just clenched her fists in shock, and for a long time she couldn't believe that Prince Wang was such a person.
"You speak first." Yan Heng glanced at Yu Ye who followed him out.
"Yes." Yuye knew she had fallen for a trick, and with a guilty conscience, she knelt immediately. She kowtowed before speaking, "Half an hour ago, I went to the kitchen to see my aunt... Madam's medicine. On my way back, Yuyan stopped me. She said there were some young ladies over by the pool, and she wouldn't leave. She then said Madam Wang told her to go back quickly and asked me to go check on them."
"I thought it was dangerous over there, so I went to take a look. Sure enough, I saw several young ladies playing by the pool. I tried to persuade them but failed, so I went to look for the lady. I was supposed to accompany her, but was called away by this person with ulterior motives halfway." Yuye was angry, pointing at the yellow-clothed maid who was lying on the ground in fear.
"Which child is this? Do you have any impression of him?" Yan Heng asked.
His voice was calm, but everyone present with children was on edge. Mrs. Du, remembering her daughter had been missing for a while, clenched Du Ning's hand even more nervously.
Yuye turned around and looked back, pointed at two people, and finally pointed at Du Ning's youngest daughter.
The faces of the parents who were pointed out all changed drastically, fearing that Yan Heng would come after them. Everyone had seen that the general's words were his and his words were his. Mrs. Du took a half step back at the sound of the voice, and Du Ning's face was also very unhappy.
Hearing the voice, Yan Heng glanced at the children. The children didn't know what was going on and were just curious to join in the fun. When they were glanced at by Yan Heng's gaze, which seemed to have substance, they were immediately frightened and started crying.
Du Ning squeezed his wife's hand to comfort her. He squatted down and turned the girl so that her back was facing Yan Heng, so that she wouldn't be afraid. "Don't cry, Nannan. Be good. Tell Daddy who took you to play by the pond."
Seeing this, several parents followed suit.
Du Ning gently wiped away her daughter's tears, finally stopping the little girl's sobs. She sobbed, "It was... it was a sister. She said she was a maid in the general's mansion. She took us to some fun places, gave me some candy, and told me to play there for a while."
"Is that sister here?" Du Ning asked.
The little girl looked around, then nodded with wet eyelashes, pointing to the yellow-dressed maid kneeling beside her, and said in a thin voice: "That's her."
The other two little girls, sobbing to varying degrees, also nodded.
Yan Heng signaled, and a guard stepped forward, grabbed the yellow-robed maid's hand, twisted it back, and shouted, "Speak!"
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" The maidservant trembled in pain. When the guards released her, she kowtowed and begged for mercy. "It was Yunyan. Yunyan told me to lead the young ladies to the pond, drag them away until Rainy Night, and then send them away... She was the one who drugged the Madam's medicine and led them away halfway through the journey."
"She promised me a large sum of money." The maid regretted her decision and knocked her head until it bled. "I was just obsessed with money."
Drugging?
Yan Heng suddenly looked up when he heard the voice, and his eyes shot over like a Shura from hell.
