Chapter 613 Zhao Yuniang, who talks nonsense?
"No, it's nothing." Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head gently.
Li Rong's handsome eyebrows furrowed: "Anuan, is something wrong?"
Jiang Nuanzhi pondered for a moment: "It's still too early to say, let's wait and see."
After much deliberation, I decided not to reveal Baozhu's identity now.
With A Rong about to embark on a campaign, and the Emperor's current unusual behavior, Jiang Nuanzhi had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
While the group was talking, the carriage had already entered the Eighth Alley.
Before I even got off the bus, I heard a heart-wrenching cry.
"Niu Niu, wake up! Don't die! I'll find the imperial physicians in the palace to save you right now!"
"You are a princess! You are an incomparably noble princess, you will absolutely be alright!"
"Open the door! Open the door! Help! Why aren't you opening the door?!"
Zhao Yuniang's mad voice carried a touch of desolation in the quiet alley.
Jiang Nuanzhi lifted the curtain and looked out. In the distance, Zhao Yuniang, with a shaved head, was carrying Zhao Niuniu and knocking on doors one by one. Blood was streaming down her forehead, as if she had been branded and stained with blood from kowtowing. Her eyes were full of bewilderment and anxiety as she frantically knocked on doors, muttering incoherently.
Even because the door in front of her hadn't opened, she put down Zhao Niuniu and picked up a stone to smash it with all her might.
However, the imperial physicians living in the Eighth Hutong now seem to have reached a tacit understanding: no one opens the door, and not even a servant comes out to check on them.
Jiang Nuanzhi and Li Rong exchanged a glance, pretending not to see each other, and the carriage came to a steady stop in front of their house. Li Rong got off the carriage first: "Nuanzhi, let's go back first."
However, before entering the room, Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yuniang. This glance caused her pupils to shrink slightly.
All she could see was Zhao Niu Niu in her arms, whose wrist was bleeding profusely, staining half of her clothes bright red.
The wound on her wrist looked so familiar; she had seen it on the Grand Princess and on Xuan Yue in the past two days.
It seemed that Zhao Yuniang had noticed their attention, because the next second she pounced on them in a frenzy.
"Help! Help my little girl!"
Zhao Yuniang lunged forward, but was immediately stopped by Lin Chun in front of her.
In the midst of this struggle, Zhao Yuniang caught a glimpse of Li Rong's face. The next second, she stared intently at Jiang Nuanzhi.
"You bitch! It's you!"
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned, and the next second, Zhao Yuniang was slapped away by Lin Chun in front of her.
Lin Chun narrowed her eyes: "How dare you be so insolent in front of my master! Get out of here now, or I'll rip out your tongue!"
Zhao Yuniang stared intently at Jiang Nuanzhi and Li Rong in front of her, as if she had made up her mind. Suddenly, she knelt down in front of Jiang Nuanzhi with a thud.
"Jiang Pangya, I'm begging you, please save Niu Niu. I know you can save her."
As if grasping at the last straw, she crawled two steps on her knees, staring intently at Jiang Nuanzhi: "You want the consultation fee, right? I have it here, I'll give it to you, all of it."
As she spoke, she untied the package, took off the bracelet from her wrist, and presented it to Jiang Nuanzhi.
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned, looked at Zhao Yuniang in front of her, and let out a long breath. Before she could speak, she heard Li Rong's emotionless voice beside her.
"You can leave now, Ah Nuan won't treat you."
"Why! Li Rong, how could you be so heartless? We were husband and wife after all!"
Zhao Yuniang spoke incoherently, as if she had gone mad: "You wretch, I've already given you money, why can't you save Niu Niu?"
"Oh! I understand!" Zhao Yuniang's eyes gradually filled with hatred: "Even if our Niu Niu becomes a princess, she will never be like the vicious Li Baozhu, slaughtering the entire village."
Before Zhao Yuniang could finish speaking, Jiang Nuanzhi had already firmly covered her mouth with a blanket.
"You bitch, what are you doing? You..."
Before Zhao Yuniang could finish her sentence, a hand chop struck the back of her neck, and she collapsed limply to the ground in a daze.
Jiang Nuanzhi helped him up and then handed him over to Lin Chun.
"Bring the person in."
As they spoke, Jiang Nuanzhi picked up Zhao Niuniu, who had been placed on the ground by Zhao Yuniang and was completely unconscious.
“Anuan.” Li Rong frowned, looking at Zhao Yuniang with a strange expression.
We were husband and wife for a lifetime?
The massacre of Baozhu Village?
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at Li Rong and said, "Oh, I'll explain it to you later."
Then, he wanted to carry the person inside.
However, the next second, his hand felt lighter, and Li Rong took the person from him: "I'll take him."
Jiang Nuanzhi paused for a moment, then nodded: "Oh, okay."
Without saying anything, he hurriedly followed Li Rong inside.
Lu Shizhu saw them returning from afar and excitedly greeted them with Dongzang beside him.
He had only returned a short while before Jiang Nuanzhi, and had just finished settling the things Jiang Nuanzhi had asked him to bring back. "Sister Nuanzhi, I have carefully packed all the medicine you asked me to bring back today, as well as some daily necessities. As you instructed, I have also packed several boxes. When my brother-in-law goes out to fight, he can just take these boxes with him."
From a distance, he ran towards them, talking to Jiang Nuanzhi as he went. But as he got closer and saw the situation clearly, he suddenly frowned: "Hey! Isn't that that damned woman from the Zhao family? Wasn't she all high and mighty just a few days ago? How did she end up like this? She's even lost all her hair!"
As he said this, he circled around Linchun.
Lin Chun rolled her eyes: "Aren't you going to help?"
"Yes." Lü Shizhu responded with a smile and took the child. Then, her eyes darted around and she glanced at the child Li Rong was holding: "Could this be Zhao Niuniu? Wasn't she supposed to come to the capital to be a princess? My father wrote a letter a couple of days ago, saying that your village is famous in the Great Wilderness now, and that the whole Liujiang County is benefiting from the two noble people who came out of there. He even told me to live up to his expectations. He would never have imagined that Zhao Yuniang would turn out like this in just a few days."
As he spoke, he clicked his tongue twice in a sigh.
"Arong! You're back?"
As they walked inside, they saw Chi Heng, Wei Ke, Qin Lin, and General Wan all there. There was even a meal from Yunshang Pavilion left on the table for them.
Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi's surprise, Lü Shizhu smiled and said, "Princess Xiao, Uncle Xin, and the children couldn't stay up any longer and went to sleep. They've been waiting for my brother-in-law. These people are so excited, they're all gathered together, laughing and crying. These grown men have been chatting like this all night."
"General!"
Upon seeing Li Rong, everyone bowed deeply, their voices tinged with suppressed excitement. Clearly, they had been waiting for Li Rong for a long time.
"Arong, you guys talk about serious matters. I'll go stop Zhao Niuniu's bleeding first."
After saying that, he looked at Lü Shizhu beside him and said, "Clean water, gauze, silver needles, fine thread, alcohol, and wound medicine. Bring them to the side hall."
"Alright," Lü Shizhu replied, then turned and went to prepare the things.
After entering the side hall, Jiang Nuanzhi carefully examined Zhao Niuniu's wounds. There were two wounds, one shallower and the other much deeper, as if it had almost severed an artery.
Zhao Yuniang tried to stop the bleeding by binding her wrist wound, but the bleeding did not stop above the wound.
Jiang Nuanzhi had already pinched the area above the wound and was now using a strip of cloth to tie it up. Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, she prepared to stitch it up.
After she stopped the bleeding and stitched up the wound, another half hour had passed.
After washing her blood-stained hands, Jiang Nuanzhi looked at Zhao Niuniu, whose face was deathly pale, and let out a soft breath.
Turning around, she was met with Li Rong's tightly furrowed brows.
"Arong, when did you get here? Have you finished talking?"
"Yes, they've all gone to rest." Li Rong's expression was somewhat strange as he spoke: "Outside, Zhao Yuniang has been talking nonsense."
