Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 22 Heart Pills

Lu Jing has been very busy with official duties in the past two years and has rarely been in Beijing. He was in Northern Xinjiang during Xie Zhaolan's funeral, and he was also on a business trip for Lu Feng and Li Xueying's wedding. He just returned to Beijing tonight and didn't know what was going on in the palace. He was surprised to see Su Qingwan in Nanfeng Tower, and he didn't expect to seriously injure her. The fire in Nanfeng Tower was getting more and more intense, and Lu Jing picked up Su Qingwan and strode out.

There was a lot of noise outside the building, and there must be a crowd of people watching the fun. Xie Zhaolan was his sister-in-law, and her reputation would be damaged if he carried her out like this. Lu Jing walked quickly to the stage screen, took off the silk cloth of the scenery and wrapped Su Qingwan around, leaving not even a corner of her clothes exposed.

"Sir, those assassins took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the back."

Lu Jing was holding Su Qingwan outside the building. Looking at the fire in Nanfeng Tower, he said in a deep voice, "This fire must have been started by the remnants of Huainan. Go check it out. They are seriously injured and can't get far."

He glanced at the crowd gathered outside the building and said, "Send a message to Kyoto Prefecture to impose a curfew in advance, evacuate the crowd, and coordinate the pursuit."

"Yes!"

Lu Jing was very swift and decisive in his work. He issued several orders in a short period of time. Jinyiwei Tongzhi Zhou Jingming came quickly and said, "The man committed suicide by taking poison."

Two of the Huainan warriors died and one was captured, and the captured committed suicide by taking poison.

Lu Jing's eyebrows sank slightly. It had been twelve years since the death of the King of Huainan and his son. In the past twelve years, the generals on the southwest border had surrendered to the new master and were loyal to the imperial power. The fiefdom of Huainan had been withdrawn and it was completely changed. People's hearts could change easily. Why were the Huainan warriors so loyal? Unless they had a new master, the secret letter was not groundless.

Zhou Jingming took a look at the person in his arms. He was wrapped in a layer of silk cloth and could not see clearly. He was very shocked. He and Lu Jing were childhood friends and had a very close relationship. He knew what kind of person Lu Jing was.

As soon as Lu Jing arrived at the Jinyiwei, he showed his edge and his methods were ruthless and cruel. No matter how hard the bones were, they would be broken in Lu Jing's hands. Jinyiwei monitored all officials and had to confiscate their property and exterminate their families. Lu Jing did the dirtiest, most tiring and most offensive work. He was the deputy commander who climbed up on a mountain of corpses and bones.

He was also the most feared lackey of all the civil and military officials in the court, and the minion of the censors' verbal and written condemnation. He was notoriously cruel and ruthless. Zhou Jingming had never seen him show mercy while on duty. This was definitely the first time in history that he actually came out of the pursuit scene holding a person.

"Zi Yu, who is this..."

Before Zhou Jingming could finish his words, Lu Jing glanced at him coldly, with an intimidating look. Zhou Jingming spread his hands and gestured to shut up.

Lu Jing ordered his men to prepare a car, called over his trusted confidant Li An, and whispered, "Send the man to my villa, and send someone to ask for Doctor Fang. Make sure he is saved, and don't let anyone know about this."

"Yes!" Li An obeyed the order and drove away.

Lu Zhu, who was hiding in the dark, followed quickly.

The governor of Kyoto quickly brought people to Nanfeng Tower. The evening drum sounded in the distance, and the curfew was imposed early. The onlookers on the street quickly dispersed, and the fire in Nanfeng Tower was gradually brought under control.

Lu Jing's face was as gloomy as water, and he looked coldly at the Nanfeng Tower which was almost burned to ruins.

When the fire started, the crowd fled in panic. He saved a child who fell and was almost trampled, and didn't pay attention to Chen Feng. However, he saw Chen Feng and Su Qingwan seemed to be communicating with each other, so he thought Su Qingwan was an accomplice of the Huainan death warriors.

Why did his sister-in-law, who had passed away a year ago, appear in Nanfeng Tower?
Lu Zhu stopped Li An in front of the villa and pestered him to go in. Li An had followed Lu Jing for many years and recognized Xie Zhaolan. He was afraid that Lu Zhu would shout outside and arouse suspicion, so he let her in. Seeing Lu Zhu crying and anxious, and quickly stopping Su Qingwan's bleeding, he put aside his doubts, ordered people to watch over them, and he quickly went to ask for the imperial physician.

After Luzhu brought people to pick up Chenfeng and others, she learned that Su Qingwan was seriously injured and taken away. She rushed over without any time to panic and quickly treated Su Qingwan's wounds.

The imperial physician arrived quickly. Li An dragged the doctor onto his horse and galloped all the way to the villa, almost breaking his old bones. After getting off the horse, he vomited violently and cursed the Jinyiwei.

Li An did not argue with others and said concisely, "If you can't cure her, Lord Lu will bury your whole family with him!" The old doctor, "..."

If someone else said that your whole family should be buried with him, he might sneer at it, but if Jinyiwei deputy commander Lu Jing said it... if he said it, he could really do it.

No one dares to mess with the Jade-faced Living King of Hell of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The old doctor carried the medicine box and ran to see Su Qingwan with bones that were about to fall apart. Su Qingwan was seriously injured. Lu Jing's move was decisive and fierce, killing her with one blow. Although he had reduced his strength, Su Qingwan was still seriously injured. If Lu Zhu had not fed her a heart-protecting pill, Su Qingwan would have met the King of Hell before the doctor could give her the chance.

The old doctor's hands were shaking when he took Su Qingwan's pulse. Su Qingwan was seriously injured and bleeding profusely. Fortunately, Lu Zhu handled it properly and stopped the bleeding in time. The old doctor sewed Su Qingwan's wound.

He didn't know Su Qingwan's condition, and didn't dare to use Ma Fei San, so he could only sew it up.

Su Qingwan frowned in pain. Even though she was unconscious, she felt the pain was different. She kept talking in her sleep, as if she was calling her sister or brother, and tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.

Lu Zhu was so heartbroken that she wanted to cut Lu Jing into pieces. If Lu Jing hadn't been so cruel, how could her daughter have suffered like this?

"Doctor, please be gentle. My girl looks like she's in pain."

"Little girl, stitches are bound to hurt. No matter how painful it is, it can't compare to the knife she took. Poor little girl, but she's lucky to have a strong life."

If she were an ordinary woman, she would have died long ago. It was very difficult for her to survive.

"Hold her hands and don't let her move."

Lu Zhu obediently pressed Su Qing Wan's hand which was scrabbling due to pain, and said with great heartache, "Girl, bear with it, it will be healed soon."

The old doctor tried his best and finally snatched a life from the hands of the King of Hell. He was exhausted and Li An didn't dare to let the man go, so the old doctor had to stay in the courtyard.

"Little girl, what is the heart-protecting pill you gave her? Can you show it to me?" The old doctor was really curious about what kind of panacea it was that could protect a person's heart and allow him to survive and wait for treatment.

Luzhu had red eyes and was silent, not wanting to talk to anyone.

The old doctor touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Little girl, I am forced to do this. No one in the entire Imperial Hospital wants to treat the injuries of the Jinyiwei. If you want to be angry, be angry at the Jinyiwei, don't implicate innocent people."

Li An, who was standing beside him with his arms folded, "..."

Lu Zhu sniffed and knelt down to the old doctor respectfully. "Your kindness will be repaid by Lu Zhu. As long as you ask for something, Lu Zhu will not refuse even if it means death."

The old doctor helped her up with great dignity, "It's good to repay the favor, but you don't have to die. Can you give me a heart-protecting pill?"

Lu Zhu was embarrassed, but said honestly, "Medicinal herbs are hard to find, and there is only one Heart Protection Pill."

The old doctor waved his hand regretfully, "Oh, forget it."
