When Ban Yue Cheng Can arrived at the Spatial Palace, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. How much manpower and resources must have been invested to build such a palace for hiding people?
Everyone in the palace had tidied themselves up by this time. They also found some clean clothes to change into. When they saw Zhao Shuning flying in on a spiritual crane with another person, they all bent down instinctively.
Zhao Shuning had rescued them from the dire straits, provided them with a place to stay, and most importantly, given them hope for survival.
Zhao Shuning walked quickly. She gently raised her hand, signaling them not to be so polite.
"Miss Ye is still widely respected even now."
"It's just a small effort. They've been oppressed for a long time, so they're extremely grateful for such a small kindness from me."
Ban Yue Cheng Can just smiled without saying a word. The person in front of him was indeed Miss Ye. Her deeds were very similar to those in her previous life. She never boasted about being a good - doer and always said she was no gentleman, yet the things she did were beyond what many so - called gentlemen could achieve.
Zhao Shuning led Ban Yue Cheng Can to the back - yard gate. There was someone guarding the gate. When the guard saw Zhao Shuning, he quickly said, "Miss, Old Miao has dressed the person. Now he's on the verge of death. I don't know if he can be saved."
Zhao Shuning nodded at him, indicating that she understood. Then she turned to Ban Yue Cheng Can and said, "Come in with me."
"Okay."
Zhao Shuning gently pushed open the door. Inside, Old Miao was carefully wiping Zhao Zheng's fingers. When he saw Zhao Shuning, he quickly stood up. Then he saw the strange old man behind Zhao Shuning and couldn't help but frown.
"Miss, who is this?"
"Ban Yue."
"Ban Yue?"
"Ban Yue Cheng Can."
Old Miao was greatly shocked and was about to bow. Zhao Shuning quickly said, "Sir, please go out first. I'll settle my father down. I'll leave soon. Ban Yue is the one I brought back to protect your safety during this period. As long as he's here, you don't need to be afraid."
"Of course, of course." Old Miao replied repeatedly and then exited the room.
When he reached the courtyard gate, Old Miao finally felt relieved.
"Old Miao, did you see the person the miss brought in? That person is so strange. I don't know his origin."
Old Miao glanced at the man disdainfully and said, "You have no discernment. That's Venerable Ban Yue Cheng Can from our Cangwu Kingdom. He was the one who protected the former lord. He's not a strange person."
The man who heard this opened his mouth wide. Seeing that Old Miao had walked far away, he had to follow behind him, muttering, "It's really strange. The miss is clearly not from our Cangwu Kingdom and said she didn't know many people here. But with just a move, she can invite a venerable like Ban Yue Cheng Can."
"How strange. Truly strange."
Inside the house, after Zhao Shuning gave the carefully - refined pills to Zhao Zheng, she asked Ban Yue Cheng Can to guard outside for her. She slowly infused her spiritual power into her father's body, following his meridians and gradually breaking through all the blocked ones.
This was not difficult for Zhao Shuning, but it took a long time and required great endurance. If she was a bit careless, it might cause Zhao Zheng to die suddenly. Meridians were very mysterious. If Zhao Shuning wasn't 90% confident in her spiritual power, she wouldn't have dared to do this.
There was a lot of stagnant blood in her father's body. After Zhao Shuning cleared them one by one, Zhao Zheng suddenly sat up straight and then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
At this moment, Zhao Shuning slowly opened her eyes.
"Miss Ye, how is it?"
Zhao Shuning shook her head. There were tiny beads of sweat on her forehead. Her eyes became a bit terrifying. If it weren't for the fact that she had sent her father a lot of nourishing spiritual roots and high - level spiritual medicines for treating leg diseases in the early stage, her father would have already taken his last breath.
"Yang Hun!"
Zhao Shuning was short on time. Although she found that there were serious problems with her father's hands and feet, she couldn't completely cure them all at once. Or rather, her father would never be able to get rid of the problems with his hands and feet for the rest of his life.
Moreover, her father's back of the head had suffered a severe injury. She didn't know if there would be any sequelae after he woke up. There were simply too many things to pay attention to.
Zhao Shuning had done her best, but she still felt deeply remorseful. When Zhao Zheng was young, he had endured too much humiliation for the family. She had thought that now that the Zhao family was powerful, he could enjoy his old age in peace. But unexpectedly, at this age, he still had to suffer such pain.
"Ban Yue."
"Miss Ye, just tell me what you need. Don't be panicked."
"He is my father. I beg you to guard him well. I've used my spiritual power to protect his heart meridian, but I have something very important to do. In the following days, I hope you can use your spiritual power to cleanse his heart meridian every day. There are too many dirty things in his body. I can't clear them all at once. Please."
"Miss Ye, what are you saying? I'll say it again. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt your father."
Zhao Shuning nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Miss Ye, you?"
"I have something important to do. Judging from the time, there should be chaos in Jiangning City by now. I have to rush back there. There are people important to me there."
"Miss Ye, you can go with confidence."
Zhao Shuning gently helped Zhao Zheng lie down. Then she stood up, tidied her clothes, and walked out of the room.
She trusted Ban Yue. People like Ban Yue were very similar to Ji Qinglin in the past. Although one was talkative and the other was taciturn, they couldn't hide their feelings. Whatever was on their minds would be shown on their faces. They couldn't hide things or tell lies.
After Zhao Shuning settled these matters, she left the Spatial Palace. She quickly rushed to Jiangning City, where there had been a lot of commotion.
Zhao Shuning stood on a tall building, looking at the bustling Governor's Mansion. A cold smile appeared on her lips.
Someone approached from behind.
"Miss, everything has been taken care of. It seems that the madam is not in the Governor's Mansion."
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Qiu."
Zhao Shuning turned around and walked towards the person behind.
"Miss, are we going to the Governor's Mansion now?"
"No. First, go and meet that so - called Master Lu."
Master Lu was the one who had colluded with Yang Hun. If Zhao Shuning's guess was correct, her mother's hiding place must have something to do with Master Lu.
Since her mother wasn't in the Governor's Mansion, then Master Lu, who was related to Yang Hun, was the most suspect.
At this moment, there was a lot of chaos in Jiangning City. Yang Hun was stretched too thin and definitely wouldn't stay with Master Lu.
Finding her mother first and then killing the two of them together was the fool - proof plan.
