Zhao Jingyi hadn't run more than a few steps when Yun Shao's sword pierced straight into her back.
"Pfft!!" Zhao Jingyi staggered forward, spitting out blood, and collapsed to the ground clutching her chest.
"Yi'er!" Zhao Guangtao's heart tightened, and he rushed over to pick up Zhao Jingyi.
Yun Shao had no sword and could only desperately dodge An Yi's attacks. In the end, An Yi stabbed his foot with a sword and he fell to the ground.
"An Yi, don't kill him, find the jade pendant."
An Yi sheathed his sword, touched Yun Shao's body, found the jade pendant, and then stood aside.
Anyway, Yun Shao's leg is injured, so we're not afraid he'll run away.
The two guards were defeated by An Er and An San, and fell to the ground with swords in their chests.
Zhao Tingsong tried to escape, but was caught by An Si.
Su Ruojin slowly walked towards Yun Shao.
Yun Shao looked up at Su Ruojin, a strange smile creeping onto his lips. "You can't kill me."
Before Su Ruojin could figure out what he meant, she felt something flying towards her.
Su Ruojin subconsciously took a few steps back.
Bang bang bang!
Clumps of dark, ball-like objects fell to the ground.
The next second, the ball exploded, thick smoke billowed out, filling the surroundings until no one could see their own hand in front of their face.
Five miles of fog!
When the thick smoke cleared, Yun Shao's figure had already disappeared.
Someone rescued Yun Shao!
Su Ruojin would never have actually killed Yun Shao.
As Yun Shao said, he was still the prince of Yun Qi. Although he had a thousand ways to make it impossible for anyone to find Yun Shao's body, there are no secrets in this world.
This is still a forbidden area of the Zhao family; if they really want to investigate, they are very likely to find their way here.
Even if no evidence can be found that the Zhao family murdered Yun Shao, the emperor's wrath can leave corpses strewn across the land. Sometimes, the anger of those in power does not require any solid evidence.
For the sake of the Zhao family, she couldn't possibly kill Yun Shao.
Even if she let Yun Shao go, she still had a million ways to prevent Yun Shao from causing trouble for the Zhao family, but unfortunately, she couldn't use them now.
Yun Shao left, and the man in black also withdrew instantly.
Su Ruojin quickly administered acupuncture to several seriously injured guards and Zhao family guards, then took out some medicine and threw it to An Yi, saying, "Take the brothers over there to treat their injuries. Take this internally, and apply this to the wounds. Yan Luo, go and help An Yi."
"Yes, Miss." Yanluo went over and helped An Yi move the injured person aside to treat him.
Su Ruojin walked towards Zhao Jingyi, whose hair was disheveled and whose lips were pale as she lay in Zhao Guangtao's arms, the sword still stuck in her chest, the blood staining her dress red.
Zhao Guangtao kept calling softly, "Yi'er, Yi'er, wake up, Yi'er, it's your grandfather."
"Grandfather... save me... save me, I... I don't want to die, Grandfather..." After saying this, Zhao Jingyi's head tilted to the side and she fainted.
“Xiao Jin…” Zhao Guangtao looked at Su Ruojin, hesitant to speak. He couldn’t bring himself to say anything to Xiao Jin, given how Zhao Jingyi treated her.
Su Ruojin knew what her great-uncle wanted to say, so she knelt down and took Zhao Jingyi's pulse.
Lung injury, fractured spine.
“Grand Uncle, I can save her life, but her spine has been pierced by a sword, and she will be paralyzed in bed for the rest of her life.”
Lung damage can still be treated, but a fractured spine is something Su Ruojin is truly powerless to help.
"Good, good, it's good that she's alive. It's good that she's alive." Zhao Guangtao breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at Su Ruojin with some guilt.
"Xiao Jin, it is your great-uncle who has wronged you and made you suffer."
Su Ruojin didn't say anything more.
She could have chosen not to save Zhao Jingyi; letting her die like that would have been a relief.
Given Zhao Jingyi's personality, spending the rest of her life in bed, eating, drinking, and relieving herself, with the most she could move her head, would be absolute torture.
