The word "drowned" scared everyone present so much that they all stayed away from Lu Yao. Once they moved away, Lu Ping and Xu were finally able to see Lu Yao from the front.
Xu frowned and said nothing. After a long while, she said to the palace servant beside her, "Please ask the eunuch to go to the main hall and ask the eldest young master of the Yao family to come out."
The palace maid looked at Feng Yuheng, and when she nodded, she left. Lv Ping stared at Lv Yao's body for a long time, and finally shed two lines of tears. But she didn't cry or make a fuss, but just said to the palace maid: "Please ask the eunuch to go to the main hall and call out the left prime minister, Lord Lv."
The other eunuch still glanced at Feng Yuheng, and when he saw Feng Yuheng nod, he quickly ran towards the hall.
It was a good moonlit night, and no one expected such a mess to happen. Feng Yuheng asked the maidservant beside Xu: "Where were you when Madam and Young Madam got into trouble?"
The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and said, "Young Madam said that the breeze was cool by the lotus pond, so she asked me to go to the main hall to get the coat left by Madam. I did as she said, and when I came back... I just..."
Feng Yuheng waved his hand and didn't ask any more questions. He just walked to Xu's side, squatted down, and asked with concern: "Aunt, do you feel any discomfort in your body?"
Xu sighed and shook her head, coughed a few times, and then said: "She choked on some water, but it's not a big deal." After that, she glanced at Lu Yao again, and then asked Feng Yuheng in a low voice: "Is she really hopeless?"
Feng Yuheng nodded: "It's hopeless, it's been hopeless for a long time."
Xu didn't say anything else. She didn't have any sympathy for Lu Yao. Although the Yao family was kind, they were not easy to bully. Xu knew clearly that her falling into the water today was definitely not an accident. She was dragged into the water by Lu Yao. As for why Lu Yao dragged her into the water, she couldn't figure it out.
Xu was not seriously injured, and Lu Ping did not choke on the water, but the wound on her face was very hideous. The doctors used the anti-inflammatory and painkillers given by Feng Yuheng, but the bleeding could not be stopped no matter what. Seeing Lu Ping's face covered in blood, and the wound seemed to be getting deeper and longer, the doctors were a little scared, and finally they had to pluck up the courage to disturb Feng Yuheng and said, "Princess, this girl's facial injury is a bit tricky, I hope you can help check it out."
Feng Yuheng frowned, turned around and said to the imperial physician: "This girl is the eldest daughter of the Zuo Xiangfu, and is a sister of the young lady of the Yao family who drowned." After that, he looked carefully at the wound on Lu Ping's face, and as he looked at it, his brows knitted again.
However, Lu Ping persuaded her at this time: "It's okay, it would be better if the scar is bigger."
Feng Yuheng didn't listen to her and stretched out his hand to press the wound. Lv Ping shuddered in pain, but heard Feng Yuheng say: "The poisonous insect is still in the wound. How could this happen? Will this insect not let go after biting people?" Even though she was a doctor from the later generations, the longer she lived in this ancient time, the more she understood that there were many things that later medicine could not explain, such as the poison developed by the ancients and the poisonous insects raised by the people of southern Xinjiang. Even if she was given time, she could use the medical skills of the later generations to heal people, but human lives would often be delayed in the wasted time. She asked Lv Ping: "You know the origin of this poisonous insect, right?"
Lu Ping nodded. "The water worms raised by people in southern Xinjiang will stay in the flesh after biting people, and continue to bite without the victim noticing until the wound spreads beyond control. But this water worm is not a big deal. As long as it is picked out, it will be fine."
Feng Yuheng nodded, without asking any more questions, and exerted force with his hands, pressing the wound on Lu Ping's face without hesitation. Soon, a black insect came out from inside, looked around, and finally fixed its eyes on Feng Yuheng's face, and then jumped up and prepared to bite it, but unexpectedly, Feng Yuheng suddenly turned sideways, and the insect missed, but before it could stop, it flew directly to the side and front.
This time, it landed right on Lu Yao's face. The insect didn't care whether it was a living person or a dead person. It was so happy that it had a new host that it couldn't afford to choose anything else. It bit Lu Yao's face and arched its body to drill into Lu Yao's cheek.
This scene was seen by many people, and they all gasped. Seeing the insects wreaking havoc on Lu Yao's face, but Lu Yao was dead and could not feel the pain, and no one was willing to risk expelling the insects for a dead person, so they just let the insects bite, and gradually, half of Lu Yao's face was covered with scars.
After all, it was a dead person, and the blood was no longer circulating. After eating half of the face, the bug lost interest and emerged from the flesh to find the next host. At this time, Feng Yuheng finally said, "Catch the bug." After saying that, he threw out a small glass bottle and said, "Put it here."
The palace servants immediately followed their instructions, and the poisonous insect that had just emerged halfway from Lu Yao's face was caught and put into a small glass bottle. When people looked through the glass bottle, they saw that the insect seemed extremely unwilling to give up, and kept banging its head against the wall of the bottle, as if it wanted to break the bottle and escape. Unfortunately, the glass bottle was strong, and it was not something that a small insect could easily break.
Feng Yuheng asked the palace servant to take the bottle away. At this time, from the direction of Qiankun Hall, the left prime minister Lu Song was walking hurriedly towards this side. When he got close, a palace servant immediately led him to the scene of the accident. The first thing Lu Song saw was Lu Yao's body with half of her face destroyed.
He was stunned on the spot, too shocked to speak for a while. The palace servant beside him had already told him the general story of what happened. When Lu Song heard that "it was your family's eldest daughter Lu Ping who jumped down to save the person", he could not help but be shocked again!
At this time, Lu Ping, who was still sitting on the ground leaning on the palace maid's arms, called out weakly, "Father!"
Then Lu Song rushed towards Lu Ping, staring at her face with concern. On the other side, his second daughter, who had no signs of life, was abandoned by him.
"Father, I have no choice. There was no one who could swim on the shore. If I didn't jump in to save her, my second sister would be fine since she's a good swimmer. But if something happened to Madam Yao, our Lu family wouldn't be able to take the responsibility!"
Lu Song was so angry that he really wanted to slap Lu Ping, but he also knew that what Lu Ping said was true. Although the Yao family's official rank was not high, they were indeed the uncrowned king in the capital. If Xu really got into trouble because of falling into the water with Lu Yao, their Lu family would really be in big trouble. But...but Lu Ping's face...
"Father." Lu Ping continued, "I'm just wondering why a biting bug suddenly appeared in my body. The bug bit my face. Is my face... is it ruined?"
Finally, Lu Ping burst into tears for her face, no longer as calm as before. In people's eyes, this is the behavior of a woman with a disfigured face. Before, Lu Ping was probably scared. But there were also people who were careful and delicate who heard the key sentence in Lu Ping's words before - "The second young lady of the Lu family is a good swimmer?" She glanced at the dead Lu Yao and asked, "If she is a good swimmer, why didn't she save Madam Yao and swim up by herself? Did she need someone to save her? When we arrived, they had been soaking in the water for a long time!"
As soon as this question was raised, someone immediately nodded in agreement and began to discuss the topic of Lu Yao's ability to swim.
The more Lu Song listened, the gloomier his face became. He looked at the glass bottle of poisonous insects in the palace servant's hand for a while. He was very close to Nanjiang in private, especially in the past six months. With the help of the eighth prince, he had several contacts with the contact person sent to Beijing. How could he not recognize where this poisonous insect came from? Lu Song was not stupid. He had doubts when he heard that Lu Yao died of drowning. At this time, how could he not understand the cause and effect of this drowning.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated Lu Yao's ultimate intention. He didn't expect Lu Yao to drag Xu down with him and use Xu's danger to lure Feng Yuheng out. He thought that Lu Yao had been arrogant since childhood, especially after her biological mother passed away. She couldn't stand the fact that Lu Yan had become a legitimate daughter, and she couldn't stand Lu Ping's stunning face. So, in Lu Song's opinion, Lu Yao designed this just to destroy Lu Ping's face. This incident was, after all, a fight between his daughters in the Lu family, but he didn't expect that both sides would suffer.
He finally turned his gaze towards the dead Lu Yao, but his face was full of disgust. As a biological father, he wanted to step on Lu Yao a few times, but now with so many people watching, he could only try his best to control his emotions. Lu Yao was dead, Lu Ping's face was ruined, and all of a sudden, the two cards of the Lu family were gone. He hated, hated that second daughter!
Finally, the six sons of the Yao family also arrived at the lotus pond. As soon as they arrived, they rushed to Xu and showed concern for her. After making sure that Xu was fine, Yao Shu took the lead in expressing his gratitude to Lu Ping. After doing all this, they turned their attention to Lu Yao's body.
Yao Shu was not stupid. When he was rushing here, he had already heard the palace servants tell him about what happened here. Now seeing Feng Yuheng standing beside him with cold eyes, he understood that there must be something that could not be seen on the surface.
He walked to Lu Yao's body, lowered his head to look at the wound on her face, and then glanced at Lu Ping. Comparing the two, a man from a medical family recognized at a glance that the injuries were of the same type. At this time, the palace servant also handed him the glass bottle containing the poisonous insect. After Yao Shu looked at it, he suddenly turned his head and asked Lu Song: "Father-in-law, Lu Yao went back to her parents' home the day before the moon. This insect is from southern Xinjiang. I think father-in-law should give me an explanation, right?"
Lu Song snorted coldly, "What can I tell you?"
"Just tell us the origin of this insect!" Yao Shu took the lead, "If my father-in-law refuses to reveal any clues, then let's report to the police!" After that, he began to give orders to the servants around him.
People heard clearly that what Yao Shu had ordered was to ask the servant to invite the Jingzhao Yin to the scene, and then have the officials carry Lu Yao's body to the government office, so that the case would be judged impartially.
Lu Song was so angry that his face turned blue. He shouted angrily, "Yao Shu! I married my woman to you. Now she is dead. Why don't you take her body back to your house? Instead, you send it to the government office?"
Yao Shu glanced at him without saying anything. He turned to help Xu up and said gently, "I'm sorry to have frightened you. Let's go back home first. After this palace banquet, please let your grandfather apologize to the emperor!"
After that, the sixth son of the Yao family helped Xu, Qin and Miao who came right after them, and walked out of the palace together. Lu Song wanted to catch Yao Shu again, but he saw Feng Yuheng blocking him and said with red lips: "Lord Zuo Xiang, did you miscalculate this marriage, or is your daughter too disappointing?"
