Chapter 224 He Zhaojun asks for medicine! Jin Yuji's request
"Wang Yan arrived at the Imperial Court, only to find Peng Kun, already breathless and collapsed, having suffered an asthma attack caused by Liu Xu's refusal to obey. He was held in solitary confinement, missing the opportunity for medical attention, and the medical officer was unable to save him."
He Zhaojun quickly put on her coat and opened the door. "So what's going on? Did Wang Yan rescue the person?"
Gu Guan bowed, "Young lady, you're incredibly clever! Wang Yan remembered she had the pill you gave her, so she put it under Peng Kun's tongue. Then, just like they had learned this morning, she used mouth-to-mouth breathing to save Peng Kun!"
He Zhaojun let out a long sigh: "When are you going to change your habit of saying things halfway? It's so scary."
Wen Ziduan was no longer surprised by He Zhaojun's occasional advance warnings. "Gu Guan, this matter must be kept strictly confidential. Keep a close eye on the Supreme Court. Anyone who dares to leak the news will be killed without mercy!"
Gu Guan gave the order, but now he stood there and refused to leave. It was obvious that he had something to say, but he was concerned about He Zhaojun and didn't know whether to say it at the right time. His hesitant look made people think he was a fool.
"Is there anything else to report?" Wen Ziduan shook his head. What couldn't he say in front of He Zhaojun?
Gu Guan wiped his sweat off his forehead and said, "I went to the Jin family's residence at night and found nothing unusual among their belongings. There was only a red pill. I don't know what it does. I occasionally heard her maid say that this pill can keep a dying person alive. I was thinking about stealing it and giving it to Peng Kun to eat."
He Zhaojun frowned: "Pills? A dying person?"
"Now you already know that something is going to happen to Peng Kun, and you asked Wang Yan to bring the medicine in advance. You don't need the medicine now, so it's better not to have anything to do with Jin Yuji." Wen Ziduan tried to avoid suspicion, but He Zhaojun's expression gradually became serious.
"We must get this medicine." She took Wen Ziduan's hand and said, "Let's set off immediately. I'll go find Jin Yuji to ask for the medicine. You go into the palace and take Doctor Sun to Taohua Villa."
Wen Ziduan refused, "Jin Yuji is clearly coming for you, and you're still going to find her? It's too dangerous. I'll go with you."
"It's okay. I'll go and find out the truth first. If she really hates me to the core, she should know the reason." He Zhaojun didn't wait any longer and rode her horse to Jin's house.
Jin Yuji was a princess from a foreign tribe. Emperor Wen was kind enough to allow her to set up a residence outside the capital, which was a great favor. However, whether it was the expenses of the residence or the ceremonial style, it was not even as good as that of He Zhaojun, the county lord.
He Zhaojun dismounted at the gate of the Jin residence, only to find it ajar. Apparently, they were waiting for her. She strode inside, and sure enough, Jin Yuji was sitting in the middle of the courtyard, the crimson pill resting on the table.
"Madam Jin, it seems that you already know the purpose of my visit today. He Zhaojun asks Madam Jin to give me medicine." He Zhaojun bowed to the ground. Huo Junhua was General Ling's last relative in this world, and her death directly angered Ling Buyi, causing him to kill Chengyang Hou Ling Yi three days before the wedding.
He was so eager for revenge that he could only resort to the most brutal means, stabbing Ling Yi in the face with a knife, and ultimately killing him. If he could save Huo Junhua's life, would he continue to plot and wait for his death in Chengyang by other means?
Jin Yuji had a pretty face, but her eyes were filled with unspeakable pain. She concealed it very well, but He Zhaojun was only too familiar with the pain of losing a loved one.
"You can take the pill, but you need to agree to one condition of mine."
Jin Yuji raised the corner of her lips and looked up at He Zhaojun: "I want to marry you on the same day."
