Inside the carriage!
Xiao Ju lay flat, her upper body in Qin Yun’s arms!
Qingshan acted as the driver!
Knowing that the person inside was injured, Qingshan made the horse run slower!
The journey was very smooth, and Qin Yun and Xiao Ju were not as uncomfortable!
The carriage arrived at the back door of the Zhuangyuan Mansion!
Qingshan carried Xiao Ju into his arms!
Qin Yun led the way and arrived at Xiao Ju’s side room!
Gently placing Xiao Ju on the bed, Qin Yun took care of her on the side!
“Go fetch a basin of warm water!”
Qingshan nodded and went to the kitchen to get water!
Xiao Ju frowned, seemingly in great pain!
Qin Yun dared not delay!
Returning to the main house, she changed back into male attire!
Then she went to the study and took out the silver needles that had been untouched for a long time!
And some precious medicinal herbs!
Carrying the items, Qin Yun hurried back to Xiao Ju’s room!
The moment she entered the room, Qingshan happened to bring in the warm water!
“Master, should I call a young maid over to serve you!”
Qin Yun waved her hand. “I will take care of Xiao Ju tonight. Where is Hong Fu? Have you found her?”
“Hong Fu is also injured and is currently unconscious!”
Qin Yun raised her eyes and looked at Qingshan with a questioning expression. “What happened?”
“Hong Fu was ambushed. When I found her, she was locked in a dilapidated house, bound with ropes, and her mouth was stuffed with cloth!”
“At that time, she was covered in whip marks and had a fever!”
Qin Yun said anxiously, “Where did you settle Hong Fu!”
“In the side rooms of the mansion!”
Qin Yun looked at Xiao Ju on the bed. Xiao Ju’s condition was not good, and she could not leave tonight!
But what about Hong Fu? She also couldn’t rest assured!
“Follow me!”
Qin Yun went to the study!
Coming to the desk, she picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote a prescription!
“You quickly go to the medical hall and get the medicine according to the prescription!”
“Remember, after returning to the mansion, tell the kitchen to decoct the medicine and give it to Hong Fu!”
“Yes, Master!”
Watching Qingshan take the prescription to get the medicine!
Qin Yun immediately returned to take care of Xiao Ju!
Inside the room!
Qin Yun dipped the towel in the warm water and then wrung it out!
Gently wiping the bloodstains for Xiao Ju!
This was something that could have been done by a servant!
But Qin Yun couldn’t rest assured, so she had to do it herself!
Moreover, Xiao Ju’s injury was also caused by her!
Qin Yun wiped Xiao Ju’s face, neck, and hands!
Then she opened the needle roll!
Rows of silver needles of varying lengths appeared before Qin Yun!
In order to detect if Xiao Ju’s brain had suffered a severe blow!
Qin Yun pulled out over ten silver needles and inserted them into Xiao Ju’s brain!
The needles were very fine, and Qin Yun’s technique was skilled!
According to different acupoints, she began to check!
Qin Yun stayed by Xiao Ju’s side all night, never leaving!
As dawn approached!
Qin Yun removed the silver needles!
Every time she removed a silver needle, Qin Yun would check the position of the needle tip!
Ensuring that Xiao Ju’s brain had no problems, she finally felt relieved!
Covering Xiao Ju with the quilt!
Then!
Qin Yun took the medicine she had prepared for Xiao Ju last night, got up, went to the kitchen, and instructed the maids and servants to decoct the medicine!
Qin Yun had not slept at all last night!
Exiting the kitchen, Qin Yun went to Hong Fu’s room again!
Hong Fu had drunk the medicine Qingshan fetched last night!
Her complexion had improved a lot by now!
However, she was injured all over and would need a period of rest to recover!
Hong Fu was asleep, and Qin Yun did not disturb her too much!
She could only wait for Hong Fu to wake up to ask about the whole incident!
In the courtyard!
“Arrange trustworthy maids and servants to take care of Xiao Ju and Hong Fu. I have to go to the morning court in a while! You take care of the matters in the mansion!”
Looking at Qingshan in front of her, Qin Yun felt very relieved!
“Master, you haven’t slept all night! And your own injuries haven’t been treated yet, have they?”
Qin Yun shook her head. “They are just minor injuries, nothing serious!”
“You just need to take good care of them!”
Qingshan pursed his lips. “Master, what exactly happened yesterday? How did you get injured, and why is Xiao Ju so severely injured!”
Mentioning this matter!
Qin Yun became angry!
If it weren’t for that vixen Li Tingting, Xiao Ju wouldn’t have been in this state!
“Let’s not mention this. It’s all my fault! I will avenge Xiao Ju’s suffering sooner or later!” Qin Yun’s hands tightened slightly! Her hatred for Li Tingting increased by another degree!
Soon!
The sky brightened!
Qin Yun washed up!
Changed into her official attire, got into the carriage, and went to attend the morning court!
In the imperial court!
As some officials reported on their official duties!
Xie Qianmo’s gaze unintentionally fell on Qin Yun!
Today, Qin Yun was exceptionally quiet in the court!
Even if someone deliberately impeached her, Qin Yun remained silent!
Xie Qianmo was extremely intelligent!
The moment he entered the great hall, he felt that Qin Yun was not right!
Qin Yun’s spirits were low, and she kept her head down!
When performing the kowtow ritual with the other ministers, her body was also unnatural!
She was injured?
This was only Xie Qianmo’s initial guess!
Perhaps feeling that Qin Yun had stood for too long!
Xie Qianmo quickly ended the morning court!
After the court!
Ouyang Siqing came to Qin Yun’s side!
During the morning court, he had also noticed that Qin Yun was somewhat off!
Now that the court was over, he naturally couldn’t hold back and came to Qin Yun’s side!
“Yun’er, what’s wrong? Why are you so listless?” Ouyang Siqing asked in a small voice!
Qin Yun gave a bitter smile. “Perhaps I didn’t rest well last night! So I don’t have much energy today!”
“Are you still thinking about that Steward Wei matter?” Ouyang Siqing looked around and lowered his voice!
And this scene!
Was precisely seen by Fang Jing!
Seeing Ouyang Siqing leaning close to Qin Yun, their bodies almost touching!
Fang Jing was instantly displeased!
Without a second thought!
He directly walked between Qin Yun and Ouyang Siqing!
Forcefully separating the two!
Fang Jing’s face was cold, and he immediately snapped at Ouyang Siqing, “Young Master Ouyang, the court is over, why aren’t you leaving yet?”
“If there’s nothing else, go find Miss Shan for a chat and cultivate your feelings. Don’t cling to Scholar Qin all day!”
As soon as these words were spoken!
Ouyang Siqing felt extremely awkward!
It seemed he hadn’t offended Eunuch Fang, right?
Why did it feel like this Eunuch Fang had a grudge against him!
“Eunuch Fang, I was just chatting with Qin Yun!”
“Chatting?” Fang Jing gave a cold glance. “Chatting so closely? If Miss Shan knew, she wouldn’t be happy, she’d think Young Master Ouyang was attracted to both men and women!”
This?
This time, not only Ouyang Siqing was embarrassed!
Qin Yun also felt a little awkward!
“Eunuch Fang, you’ve misunderstood. The truth is not as you see it!” Qin Yun wanted to explain!
Fang Jing snorted coldly. “Stop talking. This old man has eyes, and he can see!”
“Scholar Qin, His Majesty requests your presence, please come with me!”
Qin Yun and Ouyang Siqing exchanged a glance!
Both were helpless!
Watching Qin Yun’s retreating back!
Ouyang Siqing felt very upset in his heart!
Ever since Qin Yun became the Zhuangyuan, the Emperor seemed to summon her frequently!
Wei Xiaochang, Zheng Haonan, and him!
The three of them had never received a private audience with the Emperor!
But Qin Yun! The Emperor had met her privately countless times!
Did the Emperor favor Qin Yun!
Or was it because she was… the Zhuangyuan that she received such importance!
