When Nobuyuki Izumi returned to the Shekei family, he saw that the black thread on his hand had grown longer. He dared not delay any longer and hurriedly ordered that Masako Izumi be released from prison.
At the same time, he asked Ono Yuuki to treat her so that he could be taken to the Imperial Palace immediately.
Ono Yuuki was startled when he saw the state of the Odaido.
The head of the woman was slumped on the shoulder of the maid who was supporting her, her eyes closed, as if she had fallen into a coma.
Her scalp was disheveled and yellowish, her face was pale, and her clothes were tattered and covered in blood.
The exposed skin on my hands and feet was covered with various new and old wounds, the skin on my fingers was completely broken, and some of my finger joints had exposed bone.
Even his fingernails were gone; anyone with eyes could tell he had suffered immense torment.
"Head of the Ono family, wake up Odai-sho and help her wake up. Also, you should know what you should and shouldn't say, so watch your mouth." Izumi Nobukatsu glanced at Ono Yuuki indifferently, his tone carrying a warning.
"Alright, alright." Ono Yuuki didn't dare say anything and hurriedly stepped forward to examine Midai, writing out a prescription and having someone prepare the medicine.
While waiting for the medicine to be brewed, Nobukatsu Izumi had someone clean up Masako Izumi's body and change her into a new set of clothes.
Not long after she took the medicine, Izumi Masako woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at everything around her, feeling somewhat dazed.
Isn't she in jail?
Where is this?
"Yako, I'll take you to the Imperial Palace later. Remember to ask the Princess Consort of Great Chu for my antidote. I'm warning you, don't say anything careless then."
Your injuries were inflicted by Deyi Kangren's men. I was the one who rescued you. Remember that?!
"By the way, my men have found Ueno Chinatsu. Whether she lives or dies depends on you," Izumi Nobukatsu threatened.
Nobuyuki Izumi knew very well that Chinatsu Ueno, who had been by her daughter's side since childhood, was the person she cared about most besides her mother, Masako.
If we make good use of Chinatsu Ueno, we can control Masako.
As for whether he caught Ueno Chinatsu, how would Masako know?
Nobuyuki Izumi did not know where Masako Izumi had been hiding, but he guessed it must have been some remote, rural place, so it was reasonable for his men to be able to find Chinatsu Ueno.
Once we find Ueno Chinatsu, we'll just kill her.
As Masako Izumi gradually regained her senses, she was momentarily stunned by Izumi Nobukatsu's words.
What did he mean by that?
Should we let her see the Princess Consort of Great Chu?
And he found Chinatsu?!
Masako Izumi's face grew paler and paler. When she left the Imperial Palace, she left a note for Chinatsu, telling her to live well, which meant that she should not come looking for her.
Based on her understanding of Chika, she would do something like leaving the Imperial Palace to find her.
If Chika really leaves the Imperial Palace, her father's men will definitely find her!
Before Izumi Masako could think any further, she was taken to the Imperial Palace.
Su Ruojin narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw the appearance of the Imperial Palace.
“Your Highness, my daughter was captured and tortured by Deyi Kangren’s men. My men found her and rescued her. Please, Your Highness, take a look at her injuries.”
Izumi Nobuyuki was quite clever. Instead of having Izumi Masako ask Su Ruojin for the antidote, he first had Su Ruojin examine Izumi Masako's injuries. This would establish his image as a kind father and also make Masako grateful for his concern.
More importantly, this tells Su Ruojin that Izumi Masako's injury was caused by Tokuyoshi Yasuhito's men.
Since Deyi Kangren is already dead, we can just pin everything on him, and Su Ruojin won't suspect anything.
He was certain that Masako wouldn't dare disobey him for the sake of Ueno Chinatsu.
Su Ruojin didn't say anything, but simply gestured for Yanluo to treat Izumi Masako.
After examining the area, Yan Luo frowned and returned to Su Ruojin's side, saying:
