Shang Shixu quickly walked out of the palace with Lin Jingmo in his arms. Looking at the blood on her back and waist, he felt scared and distressed.
From the day Qiaoxiang sent him a message saying that Lin Jingmo was missing, Shang Shixu began to panic. They were originally asked to go to Shuzhou to join their relatives, but unexpectedly they came to Chenzhou, which happened to be owned by King Zhao.
Where the fiefdom was, he understood that Lin Jingmo must have wanted to avenge King Zhao, so he came here, so he rushed to Chenzhou. The first time he saw Qiaoxiang, he was almost certain that Lin Jingmo must have gone to Zhao.
Wangfu.
When he came to Prince Zhao's Mansion and heard someone shouting in pain, he recognized Lin Jingmo's voice. He didn't expect that she would be so wronged in broad daylight after not seeing her for just a few days.
She was put on a stool and beaten, so he rescued her from the stick regardless.
Shang Shixu didn't dare to stop for a step, and went straight into the hospital and shouted: "Where's the doctor? Doctor, come quickly! Help me..."
The word "ma'am" that I was about to say out loud was swallowed back.
The doctor came out to take a look and said: "This girl suffered some flesh injuries and fainted from the pain. I asked my wife to change her clothes and apply medicine for her and she will be fine."
As he spoke, the doctor's wife walked out of the inner courtyard, helped Lin Jingmo into the room following the business sequence, and then asked him to wait outside the door.
Shang Shixu knew in his heart that if Lin Jingmo woke up, he would probably kill him again. Recalling her scarlet eyes a few days ago, it seemed that the hatred in her heart was different from before.
In the past, Lin Jingmo hated him because he almost killed her. Why does Lin Jingmo hate him now?
Shang Shixu couldn't help but think: She would rather be punished than stay in the palace. If her identity is exposed because of this incident, wouldn't it be a failure? But if King Zhao asks, how should she answer?
At this moment, Mrs. Qing’s mother Liu’s mother poked her head in.
Shang Shixu frowned and tilted his head to look at her.
Seeing that there was no one in the house, she walked in calmly and asked, "Who is this sir?"
Shang Shixu said coldly: "How do you know that I am an adult?"
Mother Liu bowed and saluted and said: "Anyone who can enter the prince's palace openly and honestly must be rich or noble!"
Shang Shixu ignored her and turned to look in the direction of Lin Jingmo.
Mother Liu said again: "Mo'er is the maid next to our Madam Qing. Do you recognize her?"
Mo'er?
Shang Shixu looked at Liu's mother defensively with a pair of eagle eyes and said: "No, I don't know her, but... I can't see a weak woman receiving such a severe punishment. Since she is your lady Qing's maid, what crime did she commit?
Suffering such a severe punishment? Why don’t you, Mrs. Qing, want to save her life?”
Mother Liu bent down and said: "This matter is a matter in our Prince Zhao's palace. I originally went to save Mo'er, but unfortunately, the adults saved Mo'er first. Naturally, the adults also helped our Mrs. Qing."
"Don't worry, sir. Madam Qing will take care of everything for you. You can go back to the palace now. I will take good care of Mo'er."
Shang Shixu thought this was a good idea. If Mrs. Qing took over, at least no one would doubt him, so he wouldn't need to go to great lengths to explain the reasons for saving Lin Jingmo, and Lin Jingmo's identity would not be exposed.
At this time, the doctor's wife had already applied medicine to Lin Jingmo's wounds and changed into a clean middle coat.
Mother Liu took out a piece of silver from her arms and handed it to the doctor, saying: "It would be helpful for the doctor to find someone to carry this girl back to the palace and send her to Qingzhuyuan."
The doctor looked at Lin Jingmo who fainted and said, "This turns out to be the girl from Mrs. Qing's courtyard! I will find someone to take the girl back to the palace right now."
After saying that, Shang Shixu nodded and walked out of the hospital.
The doctor at the medical center took medicine for Lin Jingmo and found someone to carry Lin Jingmo back to the palace.
Mother Liu personally accompanied her all the way, and not far away there was Shang Shixu hiding in the dark to escort her.
They carried Lin Jingmo into the Qingzhu Courtyard through the back door of the palace.
Mrs. Qing saw Lin Jingmo who had fainted long ago, and hurriedly stepped forward. She wanted to reach out to help her but was unable to do so, so she called a few girls to carry Lin Jingmo into the house.
……
At night, after midnight, Lin Jingmo slowly woke up in pain.
She tried to turn over hard, but she couldn't get up. In the end, she had to give up and lie down on the bed in compromise.
Although her body hurts a lot, fortunately, the pain means that she is still alive... She still wants to avenge her father and sister, and she must not die like this!
It's just that the physical pain cannot be ignored. Even if she reminded herself countless times to be strong, tears still flowed down. How could she, a delicate and noble girl from a noble family, have ever suffered such injustice?
He has never punished himself for his mistakes, but now when he comes to Prince Zhao's Mansion, he is framed and even almost beaten to death before he even sees Chen Minran.
Lin Jingmo was in so much pain that she couldn't move. Her soft crying woke up Mother Liu who had been staying by her side.
She blew on the huozhezi, then lit a lamp and slowly walked to Lin Jingmo's side and said, "Mo'er, are you awake?"
Lin Jingmo turned her head and looked at Mother Liu who was standing by the bedside with a lamp. She was in a trance, as if she had seen the former Mother Li.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to drink some water first?" Mother Liu put the lamp on the low table aside, walked to the table and poured a glass of water for Lin Jingmo, handed it to her mouth and said, "Take a sip.
Are you thirsty?"
Lin Jingmo drank the water slowly, then raised his head and asked, "Why am I here?"
Mother Liu tucked the quilt for her and said: "Good girl, you almost fainted after being beaten for more than twenty times. Mrs. Qing was worried, so she begged the prince to bring you back!"
"Mrs. Qing is interested..." Lin Jingmo slowly lowered his head and said, "Her child is obviously injured..."
Mother Liu said: "It's true that the prince was injured, but it's not your fault. I checked those clothes carefully when I gave them away. You never left any silver needles in them. This is a frame-up by the princess!" Lin Jingmo nodded and said helplessly: "Even if it was the princess who did it, the prince can't go into details for the sake of Zhongshu Ling in the capital, so this crime... can only be carried by me."
Mother Liu took some snacks from the table and sat on the corner of the bed. She put the snacks on Lin Jingmo's mouth and said, "For Mrs. Qing, for the sake of the young prince, you have been wronged and suffered this."
The beating must be very painful, right? I will change your dressing every day from now on. These injuries will gradually get better. Eat something first."
