Chapter 54: Is Doctor Wen good-looking?
As he was speaking, the rain began to get heavier. Drops of rain as big as beans hit the wooden handle of the umbrella and seemed about to burst through it at any moment.
Xie Zhizhi raised her eyes and met Wang Chuyun's slightly anxious eyes.
The other party had no bad intentions, and going to the palace on the way would just give Jing Lan a safe place to stay. He could let his eyes slide over the gentle and jade-like genius doctor and see how his medical skills of bringing the dead back to life were.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Wang Chuyun curled his lips unnaturally, "Then let's go."
"Don't take the road ahead. It's blocked by refugees and hail. There are also many dead bodies on the road. Go around the west side of the city." Xie Zhizhi saw her walking back the way they came, so she quickly stopped her and pointed her to another way.
Wen Qingran paused and turned away: "Since Miss Xie said so, I can only take a detour."
Wang Chuyun followed.
Jing Lan and Xie Zhizhi walked in front, and Wang Chuyun and the other three followed behind them. They made a big circle before returning to the Shangshu Mansion.
Because we were walking on small paths, apart from a lot of hailstones on the ground and broken roofs, we didn't meet many people, but there were quite a few dead bodies.
No matter how good the quality of the residence of the Minister of Justice was, the roof was collapsed and the gate was barely saved.
The rain washed the hailstones on the ground cleaner and smoother.
On the way, Xie Zhizhi learned why the Minister of Justice had his hand injured by hail.
It turned out that when the sky suddenly turned white, the Shangshu wanted to do some research, so he came to the courtyard with an umbrella, but hail started to fall, and he immediately hid behind the stone table. Unexpectedly, the stone bench was also smashed.
The guard used a hard iron shield to avoid the hail and protected him back to the cave, barely saving his life. However, the iron shield was not big enough and it hit his arm, breaking the bone on the spot and leaving a bloody mess.
After hearing this, she felt regretful and thought that she was lucky to have saved her life.
Wang Chuyun welcomed Wen Qingran into the house and said, "Brother Wen, if my father is recovering in the cave, I'm sorry to bother you to climb the ladder."
"It's okay. Uncle's wound is what's important." Wen Qingran's clear voice had a hint of heaviness, and it was obvious that he was weighed down by the tragic circumstances along the way.
Wang Chuyun walked into the mansion calmly and said to her, "Come with me to the cave, mother is there too."
She nodded. After entering the mansion, she found it desolate. There were broken furniture and tiles everywhere, and the ground was in a mess. It was empty and deserted. It didn't look like the magnificent and solemn mansion of a first-rank official in her memory at all.
Natural disasters are brutal, and this is just the beginning.
What will happen in the future?
It’s scary just thinking about it, luckily she has a life-saving trump card, otherwise she wouldn’t survive more than three chapters.
Wang Chuyun led them to the entrance of the cave, which was covered by several iron shields. There were also thresholds on the edges to block rainwater and prevent the flow of hail and rainwater. After lifting the iron shields, he led several people to climb the ladder step by step.
The entrance to the cave was built very narrow, like the mouth of a well, and only big enough for one person to go up.
Wang Chuyun let Wen Qingran go first.
She saw that the other party obviously had some martial arts background, so he slung the box over his back, walked a few steps holding the ladder, and then jumped away swiftly.
Suddenly, her shoulder was patted, and Wang Chuyun's teasing voice rang in her ears.
"What are you looking at? Doctor Wen is very handsome."
"Prettier than you." She glanced at him silently, then quickly grabbed the rope and walked away.
"How does it compare to the Third Prince?"
"Why mention it? That's a murderer!" Xie Zhizhi's eyes turned fierce and she glared at them. Everyone thought she was deeply in love. It was too difficult to help her!
“It’s good that you know.” Wang Chuyun was afraid that the girl was still thinking about Hongyu. The matter of the general’s death was tacitly known to everyone in the court. Everyone knew that the cat was greedy. If the emperor died suddenly and the world was in chaos, this matter seemed to have been put on the table.
She ignored him and left quickly, followed by Jing Lan.
