Mu Fengqie felt the blood draining from her body. Her consciousness was gradually fading. She sensed someone stuffing her into a sack and then tossing her onto a carriage.
Before losing consciousness, Mu Fengqie thought it might not be so bad to die like this. She could just go to the Underworld and be reincarnated. In eighteen years, she'd be a hero again.
Maybe in the Underworld, she could talk to Lady Meng. She didn't want to drink the Mengpo Soup. She didn't want to forget these experiences and these people.
"Master, we've got news."
"Quickly tell me!" A Ru stood up excitedly. After almost two days, there was finally news.
"Just now, a carriage left the city. There was a strong smell of blood on it. Your subordinate guessed it should be Miss Mu."
"Your subordinate has already sent someone to follow it. We'll get news soon."
"No, Yuan Yuhan. I can't wait any longer. I'm going out of the city to check. I'm worried. Besides, I've been feeling uneasy. I always feel something bad has happened to Sister."
"Don't be anxious. I'll take you there right away."
The three of them followed the marks all the way to a small forest outside the city. They saw the carriage parked by the side of the path, but there was no one inside.
"Follow the blood trail. They can't have gone far."
"Hey! What kind of luck is this? Good things never come our way, but all the bad things do."
"Exactly! All the dirty and tiring jobs are ours."
"Shh! Keep your voice down. Don't let anyone hear. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble."
"Who would come to this lousy place? It's just us and a dead person. What are we afraid of? Can't we even complain a bit behind their backs?"
Suddenly, several arrows shot out and ended these people's lives.
A Ru ran over and opened the sack. Seeing the person inside, who had been tortured beyond recognition, A Ru still recognized her at a glance. It was her sister. A Ru burst into tears.
"Ah! Sister! Wuwuwu... Sister..." A Ru hugged Mu Fengqie's body and instantly collapsed.
Sister was dead... Sister...
Yuan Yuhan was also shocked. He thought it was some livestock at first. He didn't expect it to be Mu Fengqie, and she had been tortured so badly. He reached out to feel Mu Fengqie's carotid artery and found it was still beating.
"A Ru, stop crying. Your sister is not dead. She's still alive. Quick! Let's take her back and find someone to save her. Otherwise, it'll be too late."
Hearing this, A Ru immediately let go of Mu Fengqie and covered Mu Fengqie's bleeding abdomen with both hands. The few of them carefully carried Mu Fengqie onto the carriage.
They rushed towards the city quickly. They had to find a doctor quickly, or Mu Fengqie would really be doomed.
"Where's the doctor? Come quickly!"
An old man ran in from outside. Seeing Mu Fengqie's injuries, he immediately stepped forward.
"Quickly put this lady on the bed. Please all go out. I need to treat this lady's wounds."
"A Ru, let's go out and wait."
"Yuan Yuhan, go and investigate! Find out who those people were just now. I want to avenge my sister!" She wanted those who had hurt her sister to pay the price!
"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate right away. Calm down first."
"Qie'er! Qie'er!" Jing Xinche ran in from outside. He hadn't rested at all. He had been searching everywhere for Mu Fengqie.
Yuan Yuhan looked at Jing Xinche, who had a stubbly beard and was in a mess. He felt a bit of a headache. He had just calmed one person down, and now another one came.
He stopped Jing Xinche, who was rushing in regardless, and tried to persuade him, "Zhanzhi, calm down. The doctor is saving her. If you go in, you'll just be in the way."
"How can you expect me to calm down? Qie'er is in there. I don't even know how badly she's hurt. Let go of me. Let me in." He pushed Yuan Yuhan away and was about to run in.
But A Ru blocked him in front of the door and slapped him in the face.
"You want to know how badly my sister is hurt? Fine, I'll tell you! Jing Xinche, listen up. When we found my sister, she was being buried alive in a pit!"
"When we rescued her, she was beyond recognition. She was covered in wounds. There wasn't a single uninjured part on her body. All were whip marks, and there was also a knife wound on her abdomen. That knife wound had penetrated my sister's body.
They were trying to kill my sister!!! If we hadn't arrived in time, my sister might have been gone!"
"Are you satisfied after hearing all this?"
"Jing Xinche, I'm telling you, you'd better pray that this kidnapping has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, I'll never let you go."
A Ru stared at Jing Xinche with red eyes. Her hands were tightly clenched, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.
"It's impossible... It's impossible... Qie'er will be okay. She must be okay." Jing Xinche didn't believe it. He wanted to go in and see.
Yuan Yuhan looked at the man who was still trying to rush in and punched him in the face. "What A Ru said is true."
At this moment, Jing Xinche was sitting on the ground, extremely regretful. Why did he save the Queen first? If he hadn't saved the Queen first, Qie'er wouldn't have had a fight with him, wouldn't have left him, wouldn't have been kidnapped, and wouldn't have...
As Jing Xinche thought about it, tears couldn't help streaming down from his eyes.
It was all his fault!
A Ru guarded the door tightly and didn't allow anyone to step in.
Yuan Yuhan felt a bit sorry for Jing Xinche in this state. "Zhanzhi, now that the person has been found, the most important thing is to find the culprit so that we can avenge Mu Fengqie."
"Yes! Revenge! I'll avenge Qie'er myself."
With that, he hurriedly ran out.
"Hey! You..." At least clean yourself up and take a rest.
Before he could finish his words, Jing Xinche had disappeared.
"Creak—"
"Doctor, how's my sister? Is she okay?" Tears in A Ru's eyes couldn't stop flowing.
"Alas! Fortunately, she was brought back in time. If it had been a bit later, it would have been hopeless."
"The lady's body is very weak. She'll be unconscious for a few days. Make sure not to let the wound get wet. If she has a fever in the middle, you must find a doctor again."
"Don't feed her anything before she wakes up. Just give her water. Well, I'll write a prescription. You go and get the medicine. Remember to take the medicine three times a day, without fail."
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."
A Ru knelt beside the bed, looking at Mu Fengqie on the bed and shedding tears silently.
She remembered that since she met her sister, her sister had always taken good care of her and doted on her.
But now her sister had been hurt by others, and she couldn't do anything.
She was a princess of a country, but she couldn't even protect the person she wanted to protect.
When Yuan Yuhan came in, he saw A Ru crying again like a tearful mess.
"A Ru, your sister is blessed. She'll wake up soon. Stop crying. Otherwise, if you fall ill, who will take care of your sister? Do you really trust Zhanzhi to take care of your sister?"
Sorry, Brother Zhanzhi. For the sake of my future daughter - in - law's health, I can only wrong you for a while.
Hearing this, A Ru immediately wiped away her tears. "Yes, you're right. I can't cry, and I can't get sick. I still need to take care of my sister. I'll never hand my sister over to Jing Xinche to take care of."
A Ru always had a feeling that Mu Fengqie's kidnapping must be related to the Queen of Nanqing. The reason was Jing Xinche!
