Hongli casually grabbed two handfuls of plaster from the ground and smeared it on his face, and said to Zhaohui and the others: "Let's go, while it's dark now and it's not easy to be seen, let's go near the government office and find out what happened.
What happened?"
Agui held Hongli tightly and said worriedly: "But what if that bird magistrate has ordered us to be arrested? If we go now, we will surrender."
Zhaohui said with a sneer: "Don't worry, that Magistrate Yang would never dare to arrest us blatantly, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now to do it secretly."
"Yes, so we are still relatively safe now." Seeing what Hongli and Zhaohui said, Agui had nothing to say and quietly sneaked to the prefect's Yamen with them.
The sky lit up little by little while waiting. Not long after, Hongli, who was hiding in the dark, saw Buqi, who was wearing only official uniform, being escorted out. His hands were tied and a cloth was in his mouth, making him unable to speak.
. Later, they learned from the dialogue between the yamen and the curious people that Buqi was suspected of embezzling Zhufa, and now he was being detained.
He went to Beijing for trial. But when Buqi was arrested yesterday, he was mentally stimulated and became gibbering. In order to prevent him from going crazy, Magistrate Yang had no choice but to have his hands tied and his mouth gagged. But Yang
The prefect, thinking of his colleagues, specially invited a doctor to accompany him to Beijing to treat Buqi's madness.
While the people were praising Magistrate Yang's benevolence, Hongli was keenly aware of the problem. Buqi knew about their existence. If he entered the capital, he would definitely tell everyone he met, even if they were large.
Most people think he is crazy, but as long as one of them keeps it in mind, things will be different. This is definitely not what Governor Yang wants to see, but why does he still do this?
In confusion, Hongli poked Zhaohui aside and said, "If you were Magistrate Yang, how would you deal with Lord Buqi?"
"Me?" Zhaohui glanced at Hongli in surprise, and then said: "I will do anything to prevent him from ever opening his mouth, but Magistrate Yang obviously didn't do this, which really makes me confused." Regarding Magistrate Yang,
Hongli was not the only one who had doubts about this approach, he also had it.
"Even we can think of it. It's impossible that Governor Yang couldn't think of it. He must have his reasons for doing this." Hongli said this, but he couldn't tell the reason. Instead, Agui said, "Should he
Maybe he wants to kill someone halfway and silence him."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Yang is an official of the imperial court, how could he do..." Zhao Hui originally wanted to say, "How could he kill people and silence them?", but the voice became smaller and smaller after that, until a trace of
There was no sound either. In fact, Yang had already done this kind of thing, so there was no reason why he couldn't do it.
Hongli also thought of this and said with a deep look: "Madness is just an excuse. If I am not mistaken, Prefect Yang has bribed the doctor and will never let Mr. Buqi come to the capital alive. No, we must save him.
he!"
"But now we can't protect ourselves, how can we save ourselves?" Zhaohui doesn't want to save him. After all, Buqi is his cousin, and he helped them again this time, but as he said, we can't protect ourselves, how can we save them.
Although Hongli said this, he had no idea for a while and said: "It will take at least ten days and a half to walk from Zhengzhou to the capital. Let's think of a way while walking."
"That's the only way." Zhaohui nodded. After all, Buqi suffered a disaster because he was trying to help them. If there was a way to save them, he didn't want to see Buqi die in vain.
When they followed the people escorting Buqi out of the city, Yunli's injuries were almost healed. After all, he was a martial arts practitioner, and his ability to recover was much better than ordinary people.
On the other hand, Dr. Zheng took the perilla grass collected by Yunli and prepared medicine for Lingruo to remove the poison from the fetus in her belly. According to Dr. Lu, it was impossible to completely remove it, but as long as it could be half removed,
The child's chance of surviving in the future will also be much greater.
For Ling Ruo at this time, the survival of her child was more important than anything else. Not to mention just taking medicine, she would not hesitate at all even if she had to trade her life.
While Yunli's injury was gradually recovering, Ling Ruo also drank the medicine that Doctor Lu had prescribed for several days. The results were gratifying. Judging from the pulse pattern, the condition of the fetus was much better than before, and the fetal heart rate was
The beating is also more powerful.
After Doctor Lu checked his pulse, Ling Ruo put down her sleeves and said with a smile: "Thank you so much to Doctor Lu for what happened this time. Without Doctor Lu's wonderful prescription, the child would not have improved."
"I'm just fulfilling my duty as a doctor. It's really not worth mentioning. If Madam must thank you, you should thank the prince. If he hadn't risked his life to collect perilla grass for more than five years, I wouldn't be able to prepare the medicine.
"Doctor Lu's words made Ling Ruo's smile freeze. She immediately returned to her previous appearance and nodded, "What Dr. Lu said is that I will definitely thank you for your kindness in finding the medicine."
After Dr. Lu left, Ling Ruo said: "Ping'er, go see if they are ready. If they are, we can collect our things and go down."
Because of Yunli's injury, they were delayed in Zhengzhou Mansion for many days. Now that there was nothing serious, it was time to leave.
Ping'er agreed. As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Yunli coming in. She quickly stepped back and called Master Seventeen.
Yunli is still as handsome and elegant as before, with a flawless face like a jade carving with no trace of flaws. His face is calm and refreshing, which makes people feel very comfortable, but also makes it difficult to see his true intentions.
Yunli's eyes lingered on Ling Ruo's face for a moment, then lowered his gaze, "I have met your empress."
"Seventeenth Master, there is no need to salute." Although Ling Ruo told him several times that there is no need to salute, he still saluted every time, which made Ling Ruo feel helpless.
Yunli lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, your things have been packed and you have settled the bill with the shopkeeper. You can leave after your Majesty has finished packing."
"I don't have much here, it's just a few changes of clothes. Let Ping'er put them away." While Ling Ruo was talking, Ping'er had already packed the clothes in the cabinet and put them into the baggage.
Yunli took a look and said, "In that case, I'll go down with you first."
"That's fine." Ling Ruo nodded, and when she followed Yunli downstairs, she suddenly said: "Did Master Qi ever blame me for what he said last time?"
Ever since she went to see Yunli once when she first woke up and said those words, she has never been there again. Today is also the first time the two of them have met since then.
A calm smile appeared on Yunli's lips, "If I say that I'm offended, will your Majesty take back those words?"
"No." Ling Ruo answered these two words without even a trace of hesitation, "Even if you hate me and blame me, I will still say that."
