When the few people arrived at the mountain, the lights outside the mine were bright, and people dressed as slaves and soldiers were constantly carrying people or pushing earth in and out.
Several injured slaves were lying on the ground, and Doctor Zhou was bandaging them.
"Come here." Doctor Zhou saw Su Li and the others and waved to them to come over to help.
Several people followed Doctor Zhou's instructions and helped to apply the medicine and to boil the medicine.
"Where is Yuzhi? Haven't you found him yet?" A majestic questioning voice rang out in the chaos.
Su Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man about forty years old, wearing gorgeous clothes that did not fit in with the people here.
She was sure that this man was the owner of the luxurious carriage during the day.
Zhao Cai, who was sitting opposite him, said anxiously, "Don't worry, my lord. Our people are already looking for him..."
Prince?
Su Li seemed to be lost in thought.
In the original novel, it was his maternal family, the Qingping Earl's Mansion, who managed the black mine for King Ning.
The person called the Crown Prince should be Ning Wang's uncle, Xiao Shaoxing, the Crown Prince of the Qingping Earl's Mansion.
Xiao Shaoxing scolded, "Why haven't you found it yet? If anything happens to it, I will not forgive you!"
At this time, Xiao Shaoxing was extremely regretful. In the middle of the night, he suddenly asked Li Yuzhi to go into the mine to get him a piece of ore to take a look. If it weren't for him, how could Li Yuzhi have gotten into trouble?
Su Li knew in her heart that Xiao Shaoxing was so worried about Li Yuzhi, either because of self-blame or for some other reason.
In the original novel, Li Yuzhi, the general manager of Xishan Mine, is actually Xiao Shaoxing's concubine, Xiao Yuzhi.
"Yes, yes, yes! Master, don't worry, we will definitely find Manager Li!"
Zhao Cai made repeated assurances.
In fact, the person is in there, so he can naturally find him, but he has no idea whether he is alive or not. After all, he just dug out two dead slaves. If Manager Li... then he can't do anything about it, right?
If Manager Li died, the worst that could happen would be to replace him. Anyway, he had disliked Zhao Yuzhi for a long time.
It would be great if he were to replace us!
Zhao Cai naturally never thought that there was such a relationship between Li Yuzhi and Xiao Shaoxing. He just thought that the prince valued Li Yuzhi.
"What is it? Why don't you send more people in to look for it?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Cai responded repeatedly. When he was about to send more people in, several people in officers' and soldiers' uniforms carried out Li Yuzhi, who was covered in mud.
"Master Zhao, Steward Li has been found!"
"Found it?" Zhao Cai was delighted. Finally, there was an explanation!
Xiao Shaoxing hurried forward, shouting as he went over: "Doctor, where is the doctor!"
There is only one doctor Zhou and his medicine boy in the mountain. If anything happens, the person in charge will definitely be reported, especially the chief steward like Li Yuzhi.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhou handed the work in his hands to the medicine boy and hurried to Manager Li with the medicine box.
Aunt Sang, Shisan and A Xiu all went to boil medicine, while Su Li and Ying'er stayed where they were and continued to help the slaves who were rescued one after another with simple processing and application of medicine.
Li Yuzhi seemed to be seriously injured and has been in a coma since he came out.
Doctor Zhou took care of the situation for a while before saying, "First, take Steward Li back and have someone take good care of him."
Zhao Cai casually called over two men in military uniforms and said, "You two, keep an eye on Manager Li for a while."
Xiao Shaoxing frowned: "Why, Yuzhi doesn't even have a maid to take care of him in the mountains?"
Zhao Cai was confused: "My Lord, Manager Li is usually alone. I've never seen him with a maid, and he doesn't even have a place to live."
Xiao Shaoxing looked at the unconscious Li Yuzhi with a puzzled expression. He had clearly bought him several beautiful maids, so why didn't he bring any of them with him to the mountains? Doesn't that mean he doesn't even have anyone to serve him here?
Zhao Cai hesitated and asked, "My Lord, are you still asking someone to look after Manager Li?"
"Of course he needs to. Otherwise, how can he take care of himself? Who will make medicine for him?" Xiao Shaoxing said with dissatisfaction, "But how can a man take care of others as well as a woman?"
He came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any maids with him. He turned to look at Su Li, pointed at Su Li and Ying'er and said, "You two, take care of Yuzhi!"
Good opportunity!
Su Li was delighted and went over with Ying'er: "Sir."
Ying'er was also happy in her heart. Manager Li had a much better status and position than Zhao Cai. He was also more handsome and younger than Zhao Cai.
The most important thing is that she is not married. Unlike Zhao Cai, he has a wife and children at the foot of the mountain. Even if she follows him in the future, she will only be a concubine.
She had always wanted to hook up with Manager Li, but he was so elusive that she had no chance to see him.
Now, the opportunity is right in front of her, she must take him down!
Zhao Cai, who was standing by, felt unhappy when he saw that his woman was about to take care of another man, but he didn't dare to say a word.
The other party is the prince, and the prince has ordered that not only must he hand over his women, but even his wife and daughter must be handed over.
Xiao Shaoxing didn't know their relationship. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. She was just a woman. He waved his hand and said, "Follow her. Take good care of Yuzhi!"
"Yes." The two of them followed the officers and soldiers who carried Li Yuzhi away.
On the way, Su Li glanced at the unconscious Li Yuzhi.
Li Yuzhi, Manager Li, was the one who ordered the iron nets to surround the entrances and exits of Huandu River, and he was also the one who carefully checked the vehicles entering and leaving.
She thought that the person who had been monitoring her for nearly two months must be him.
Li Yuzhi's residence is not far from the mine. It is a small courtyard with three rooms. Although it is not very luxurious, it can be seen that the interior decoration is very luxurious and tasteful.
Su Li sighed in her heart, compared to the low mud house with a thatched roof where they lived, this place was simply a palace.
Ying'er's eyes also lit up. She had been to Zhao Cai's house. Before she saw this house, she thought Zhao Cai's house was so nice. Now that she saw Manager Li's house, she realized that Zhao Cai's house was so shabby!
He also became more determined to capture Li Yuzhi.
After the officers and soldiers put Li Yuzhi to bed, Doctor Zhou hurried in with the herbs and said, "Boil this medicine and give it to Manager Li when he wakes up."
When Su Li saw Ying'er staring at Li Yuzhi, wiping his sweat and tidying his clothes, he knew that she was going to change her target.
Indeed, not to mention that Li Yuzhi's status is higher than Zhao Cai, in terms of appearance, Li Yuzhi is handsome and a truly handsome man.
Given Ying'er's personality, she would definitely seize such an opportunity.
Su Li was happy that she didn't have to take care of Li Yuzhi personally. She took the herbs and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine according to Doctor Zhou's instructions.
