Chapter 311: Former Enemy? Blushing
That evening
"Ming Cheng, it's not right for you to stand here all the time. You'd better go back." The officials on duty at the Court of Justice looked at each other. No one knew what Cheng Shaoshang was doing standing here.
From today on, she stood in the prison where He Zhaojun was imprisoned, guarding He Zhaojun's bedside, never leaving her side, refusing to eat or drink, and even refusing to go to the toilet, as if she was ready to die.
Shao Shang snorted coldly, "Stop your flattery. How could I not know what you are going to do? If you want to force a confession, I advise you to give up on it."
The two jailers bowed repeatedly and said, "Ming Cheng, you and the Third Prince's wife really have a deep relationship..." They laughed dryly and saw that they could not persuade Cheng Shaoshang, so they could only move a stool for her and let her sit down and watch.
He Zhaojun had been running a high fever since she was imprisoned. It was unclear whether it was a cold from being caught in the rain, or an infection from her wound. Shao Shang couldn't even cry, so he took off his cloak and wrapped it around He Zhaojun, then held her in his arms to keep her warm.
"Wen Ziduan! You are a coward! Others want to kill Sister Zhaojun, but you can't even protect your own woman. You are such a waste!" Shao Shang cursed Wen Ziduan inwardly while carefully feeding Zhaojun water.
She glared at the jailer outside and shouted, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and ask Doctor Sun and Long Feibai to come over! If anything happens to her, I will definitely not let you go."
The two jailers nodded repeatedly, not knowing what to do. Behind them, Yuan Shanjian, along with Doctor Sun and Long Feibai, had squeezed out of the crowd and entered the prison.
Long Feibai had already sensed that He Zhaojun was unwell, but fortunately, she now had the protective Golden Phoenix Gu in her body, and the fever was also a sign of recovery. Now looking at He Zhaojun, although she was unconscious, her pulse was calm, and it was obvious that she was not seriously injured.
"Shao Shang, I'm here. The Third Prince's wife will be fine. However, the He family is very worried, especially her youngest brother He Yuan. As the person she trusts the most, you should go and take care of him now."
Shao Shang wiped his red eyes and listened carefully to the two doctors' words. After confirming that He Zhaojun was fine, he slowly stood up. "No, I'm still worried. I'm worried that someone will harm Sister Zhaojun, or that she will wake up at night and no one will take care of her..."
Before she finished her words, she saw a girl squeezing in from the crowd. It was Wang Yan, who was already married and had come back specially to attend He Zhaojun's wedding banquet.
"You go to the He family, and I'll take care of her. I owed her my life back in Shouchun."
Shao Shang and Wang Yan looked at each other, then reluctantly retreated with the others. Wang Yan glanced at the sleeping He Zhaojun, sighed, and stood beside her to block the cold wind.
When He Zhaojun opened her eyes again, a faint light shone through the narrow skylight, making it difficult for her to tell whether it was sunlight or moonlight. She shivered and wrapped her two cloaks tightly around herself.
The person in front of her was trembling, folding her arms and turning in circles in the cell. It was Wang Yan. When Wang Yan saw her open her eyes, she was startled at first, then immediately reached for the tea on the table.
The teapot had been kept warm on a small piece of charcoal and was still warm. She poured water for He Zhaojun and motioned her to drink it quickly.
"Why are you here? What time is it now?"
Wang Yan glanced outside the door and said, "It was around 3:00 AM when I saw them changing shifts for the third time." Only then did He Zhaojun realize that she had been unconscious for most of the day.
And Wang Yan just stood there, guarding her for three hours.
