Meanwhile, Su Muxi and Ge Mao had already examined Ye Zerui's awakened guard. He was recovering well, but his dazed appearance suggested that he might have injured his brain.
"What's your name? Do you remember it?"
Su Muxi tried to keep her voice down, afraid of startling the other person.
Ji Cheng stared intently at Su Muxi and slowly uttered two words.
"Ji Cheng."
"Then do you know who you are?"
"The Second Prince's guards."
Ji Cheng assumed that he was dead and had met a fairy in the sky, so he was not on guard and answered whatever she asked.
"Do you remember why you were so badly injured?"
"...because I'm no longer useful."
Just as Su Muxi was about to press for more information, Mai Kun stepped forward and shielded her behind him, blocking his view of her.
"Your Highness, there's no need to waste words with him! Since he's alright, let me interrogate him!"
Su Muxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked out without saying anything more.
Ji Cheng was almost killed by Ye Zerui, so he probably won't be too stubborn.
However, before Su Muxi had even finished her breakfast, Mai Kun walked over with an embarrassed look on his face.
Ge Mao laughed, "Is it because Su girl left that the kid stopped talking? Hahaha!"
It was nothing in itself, but when Ge Mao said it, it seemed to take on a different meaning, making Su Muxi blush.
Although Tang Yan, who was standing to the side, did not know the specifics of the matter, she could still guess a thing or two from Ge Mao's words. She smiled and said, "Let alone men, even I, a woman, would be heartbroken to see Xi'er leave!"
McQueen blushed upon hearing this.
He had been a bodyguard for many years and had learned a lot of tricks from the prince. He had also helped the prince interrogate many people, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone so stubborn.
Ji Cheng must have known something important that Ye Zerui didn't know, which is why Ye Zerui silenced him. So the sooner we force out the secret that Ji Cheng knew, the more valuable it will be.
Now, it's unclear when the prince will return, and he only came to find the princess because he had no other choice.
Otherwise, he wouldn't let Ji Cheng even glance at his princess!
"Your Highness, um..."
McQueen's face turned red with frustration; he simply didn't know how to continue.
Su Muxi also felt her face burning, but she didn't want to make things difficult for Mai Kun any longer, so she stood up and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."
When Su Muxi came to see Ji Cheng this time, she wore a veil on her face. Even so, Ji Cheng's eyes, which were originally as lifeless as ever, still lit up when he saw Su Muxi.
He stared intently at Su Muxi, as if Su Muxi might disappear at any moment.
Su Muxi coughed awkwardly and first explained the current situation to Ji Cheng.
Just as he was about to ask about Ye Zerui, Ji Cheng exclaimed excitedly, "You saved me?!"
Ge Mao was displeased. "It was me! Although Su girl treated your wounds afterward, it was me who pulled you back from the brink of death! Of course, the person who deliberately missed the mark in your abdomen also indirectly saved your life!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Cheng recalled the scene when Shi Qiang stabbed him with a knife.
He thought Shi Qiang was forced to kill him, but it turns out he intentionally let him go...
How could Shi Qiang be so stupid!
If the Second Prince finds out that he is still alive, Shi Qiang will certainly not have a good end!
Seeing the anxiety and fear in Ji Cheng's eyes, Su Muxi quickly said, "Don't worry, your matter won't get out, and you'll be fine saving your companion."
The gentle voice gradually soothed Ji Cheng's unease.
Then Su Muxi said softly, "As Ye Zerui's guard, you should know better than I what kind of person he is. If Ye Zerui were to eventually ascend to the throne, it would be the people of the world who would suffer."
I don't know if you still have family, but it's clear you have friends, and your friends are people who would risk their lives for you.
Can you really bear to see your friends, and their families and friends, end up like you?
Sometimes, speaking is an art.
Su Muxi used to despise this way of speaking, but now she has gradually learned to use any means necessary to achieve her goals.
Upon hearing this, Ji Cheng excitedly stood up, but accidentally aggravated his wounds. However, he did not utter a sound, but instead bit his lower lip tightly.
"Please, Your Highness, save Shi Qiang! I am all alone, but Shi Qiang has a mother and nephew to take care of. Please save them!"
If anything were to happen to Shi Qiang or his family because of him, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life!
Su Muxi smiled slightly, "Tell me slowly, tell me everything you know, and I guarantee that Prince Yong'an will not harm you, and will do his best to rescue your friend."
…
Two hours later, a carriage slowly drove up to the gate of the Yong'an Prince's Mansion.
With an excited expression, Ye Zemin urged Ye Zeyu, "Brother, hurry up! If you ask me, we should go straight to the Tiger Riding Camp. If you need anything, I have it all here. If all else fails, I can have a servant deliver it to you later. There's no need to go through all that trouble to go back to the manor!"
Consort Li was very strict with her son Ye Zemin. Not only did Ye Zemin not know what it looked like outside the capital, but he didn't even know what the markets in the capital looked like.
Unexpectedly, a windfall actually fell from the sky. Not only could he leave the city, but he could also enter the military camp and have the opportunity to become a majestic general!
Of course, he owes his success today to his good older brother!
It seems Mother was right; Second Brother is cunning, so we need to cultivate a good relationship with Eldest Brother!
Sure enough, the eldest brother had just found a job in the capital and immediately thought of his younger brother!
Knowing that Ye Zemin was anxious, Ye Zeyu shook his head with a smile and said in a deep voice, "Your sister-in-law is still waiting for me at the mansion. I'll go say hello to her and then leave. If you're in a hurry, I'll have a guard take you to the nearby market first."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zemin's eyes seemed to light up. He was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly turned serious.
"Brother, you're underestimating your younger brother by saying that! I'm going to the Tiger Riding Camp with you for training, not for sightseeing. Since my sister-in-law is here, I should go and greet her."
After speaking with a serious expression, he got off the carriage with Ye Zeyu.
But after he got off the carriage, he realized that Su Muxi wasn't even married into the family yet, so why was he calling her "sister-in-law" so naturally?
However, when he saw Su Muxi, he kept calling her "sister-in-law" over and over again.
"Sister-in-law, this medicine is good, can you prepare some for your younger brother too?"
"Sister-in-law, you can't be biased. You can't just give to my older brother and forget about me, your younger brother!"
