Chapter 286 First Aid
Master Liu felt cold all over and froze when he saw this.
He looked at the purple faces of Master Mi and the others, his heart filled with fear and despair. He trembled and muttered, "They're so purple, can they still be saved? God, please don't take their lives!"
Chu Ci hated people who cried when something happened, so he immediately said sternly: "If you want to cry, go outside and cry. Don't get in the way of us saving people here!"
"Can Master Mi and the others be saved?" Li Yong asked subconsciously, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief, his voice trembling with a hint of hope.
Unfortunately, Chu Ci didn't have time to answer him. Instead, he shouted to his guards with a serious expression: "Hurry up and pinch his Ren Zhong point. At the same time, untie the restraints on his collar to keep his breathing unobstructed. Move quickly!"
The guards did not dare to hesitate for a moment and carried out Chu Ci's orders as quickly as the wind. However, what was worrying was that the situation did not improve much.
Aunt Qiao was anxious. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and slid down her cheeks. She said anxiously, "Princess, this won't work! What should we do?"
Chu Ci frowned, his eyes firm and decisive as he ordered, "Lay Master Mi flat on the ground."
The guards didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly followed his orders. Their movements were careful and swift, fearing to lose even a second.
Then, Chu Ci took a deep breath, folded her hands, and rhythmically pressed on Master Mi's chest, performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Her expression was focused and tense, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
Nanny Qiao also knew some medical knowledge. Seeing this, she not only hurriedly followed the instructions herself, but also eagerly called on the other guards to help: "Everyone, don't just stand there, come and help. Do as the princess does, be gentle, and don't make any mistakes!"
Her voice trembled slightly due to nervousness, and beads of sweat gradually covered her forehead.
This made Master Liu and Li Yong even more nervous.
Li Yong rubbed his hands together, his eyes fixed on the people who were rescuing the victims. He said in a trembling voice, "Is this going to work? Master Mi, you have to hold on!"
Master Liu was actually completely unsure, his heart was in turmoil, but he kept saying, "The princess won't waste her efforts. I believe the princess will find a way to rescue Master Mi and the others."
When he said this, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, but more of it was trust and expectation for Chu Ci.
Fortunately, Chu Ci did not let them down. After some intense rescue efforts, one of the younger workers first moved his fingers slightly, and then had a weak breath.
Li Yong suddenly shouted in surprise: "He's awake, he's awake!"
His voice was sharp with emotion and his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Master Liu was equally excited, his eyes sparkling with joy, but he was even more afraid of disturbing Chu Ci's rescue efforts, so he quickly reached out and covered Li Yong's mouth. "Don't disturb the princess, let her focus on saving people."
"Yeah, yeah." Li Yong was not annoyed at all. He nodded heavily and stared at the rescued people without blinking.
The young craftsman's awakening was like a signal full of hope. The others seemed to be able to sense it and woke up one after another.
Seeing this, even the usually calm Aunt Qiao became excited, clasping her hands together, her eyes full of admiration and surprise: "The princess is amazing, she really brought him back from the brink of death."
"I was extremely worried before, but I didn't expect the princess to have such a miraculous ability to bring people back to health. She has a kind heart like a bodhisattva, and she is willing to help those in need!"
"Yes, the Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!" Li Yong and Master Liu looked at Chu Ci as if he were a god. As they spoke, they knelt down with a thud and hit their foreheads heavily on the ground.
Chu Ci was about to help the man up when Master Mi slowly woke up. His eyes were still a little confused, and he said weakly, "Old Liu? Am I dead? Why do I see Old Liu kowtowing to me? But how can there be fairies in the underworld?"
Master Liu rolled his eyes when he heard this, secretly scolding himself: "You old fool, you keep talking nonsense."
But because of the existence of Chu Ci, he did not dare to refute loudly.
It was Chu Ci who explained, "Master Mi, you are not dead. I am not some fairy, but the vice-president of the 'Royal Women's College'. I came here today to give you the pension."
"You have worked hard in the workshop and served the royal family. The court will never forget your contributions. These pensions are a small compensation and care for you in this accident. I hope you can take good care of your injuries and recover soon."
"What is the pension? Didn't we get compensation before?" Master Mi was confused at the moment, but he had been in the Ministry of Industry for many years and knew the rules of dealing with superiors.
"Did the previous foreman give you compensation?" Chu Ci's eyes sharpened upon hearing this, and he stared at Aunt Qiao below him like a sword, with a questioning tone in his tone: "Aunt Qiao, are you aware of this matter?"
If he had only had a vague feeling of uncertainty before, Chu Ci was now certain that this incident was by no means accidental, but was man-made.
As expected, Nanny Qiao's response confirmed Chu Ci's guess.
Nanny Qiao looked a little nervous and bowed slightly before replying, "Princess, the foreman was transferred to Liaodong three days ago to build a memorial archway for Lord Hu."
"Three days ago was truly a good day!" Chu Ci's expression became stern, his eyes like torches, and his tone was firm: "No matter what method you use, this county lord wants to know the truth as soon as possible."
"Yes." In fact, Nanny Qiao had already made some arrangements in advance, but seeing that Chu Ci was really angry at the moment, she did not make any more excuses, but agreed carefully, standing respectfully beside Chu Ci, not daring to breathe.
At this time, Master Mi was completely frightened and woke up.
But he was trembling with fear, his lips quivering as he spoke, "My Lady Princess, I didn't lie. Everyone present can testify to that. I'm just an honest worker. I wouldn't dare tell you a lie."
Chu Ci did not rush to ask whether it was true or not, but looked around first, slowly scanning everyone present.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Master Mi and said in a calm yet authoritative tone, "Who came up with the idea of tying a rope to the head of the bed to commit suicide?"
"We didn't..." Master Mi subconsciously wanted to tell the truth, but halfway through his words, he suddenly thought of something horrible. His face turned pale in an instant, and his body couldn't help but tremble. He changed his words. "Old man."
Unfortunately, everyone present was a shrewd person. Even Master Liu and Li Yong understood the hidden meaning behind his unfinished sentence.
Look, young Li Yong has not suffered too much social abuse, so there is still some justice in his heart.
