Qi Dongqiang sighed.

"I don't understand what happened specifically. I don't know why she ended up there."

"I was passing by and heard someone shouting for help, but I didn't expect it to be her."

"What attacked her... seemed to be a beast, but I couldn't see clearly what it was. When I ran over to save her, the creature ran away."

Qi Dongqiang still has lingering fears when recalling what happened at that time: "She was covered in blood. I almost didn't recognize her when I got closer. After I saw clearly that it was her, I quickly bandaged her to save her. But I found that the injuries on her shoulders and calves were not right, so I didn't dare to bandage them. I just pressed the acupuncture points to stop the bleeding."

"We had planned to go into the city early tomorrow morning. After saving her, we hurried along the way. After entering the city, we asked around as we went. When we arrived at the palace, we found out that you were not there. I had no choice but to ask to see the eldest lady."

"The eldest lady wanted to come with me and even said she would send someone to accompany me, but I refused because I was afraid that it would attract too much attention. That's why I came with An Cizhou."

After listening to what happened, Yan Ruyu nodded slowly: "You mean, the one who hurt Tangli was not a human? But her sword wound..."

"I'm also very surprised by this. There is indeed a sword wound, but what I saw at the time did look like a beast. However, the forest was dense and the distance was a bit far, so I didn't see it clearly."

Yan Ruyu patted her shoulder and said, "Don't blame yourself. You've worked hard all the way. Take a good rest first. I'll take care of the rest."

Qi Dongqiang was still a little worried: "What about her? Is it serious? That poison..."

"It's okay. The poison has been removed. The wound is serious, but it's just superficial. Just rest well and you'll be fine."

"Once she wakes up and her injuries are stable, I will take you back to my place."

Qi Dongqiang was relieved after hearing this: "That's good. It doesn't matter where we live. I'll follow your arrangements. As for the details of the capital, I'll have to ask An Cizhou. My father told me not to ask too much. If he hadn't pestered me endlessly, I wouldn't have known what happened just now."

Yan Ruyu: "..."

"okay, I get it."

Yan Ruyu asked the maid left by Madam Cao to take Qi Dongqiang to rest, and she returned to the room to see Jiang Tangli.

The little girl hadn't changed much since we parted, except that she looked more haggard because of the injury.

Jiang Tanglin had always been in poor health, and if he hadn't met Yan Ruyu, it would have been unknown how long he could have lived.

Yan Ruyu had treated her almost completely and gave her a health-preserving prescription before letting her go, as if she was a girl she had raised herself.

Now, it has become like this again.

She was filled with resentment.

Huo Changhe returned to the outer room and said softly at the door: "Yu'er, come out for a moment."

Yan Ruyu came back to her senses, got up and went to the outer room.

"Everything has been arranged. We have people in An Cizhou and here as well." Huo Changhe saw that she looked unhappy and gently stroked her shoulder. "How is she? Not well?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "Fortunately, the injuries were not light. There were several bloody holes on the shoulder and the wound on the calf was poisonous. Now the poison has been cleared, but I am still weak."

Huo Changhe comforted him softly: "Tell me what you need and I will arrange it. Don't be angry or too sad."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "We were fine when we broke up last time, but it's inevitable that we feel a little bit..."

"By the way," Yan Ruyu said, "Your Majesty, I think the injury on her leg looks familiar."

"look familiar?"

"Yes, it looks very similar to Zhu'er's corpse," Yan Ruyu whispered, but every word was shocking. "Zhu'er's corpse was torn apart by a wild beast, and there were scratches. When I bandaged Tang Lin, I felt that it looked familiar."

"After hearing that Governor Cao was coming, I suddenly remembered Zhu'er in the morgue. She looked very similar."

Huo Changhe was silent for a moment, thinking quietly about what she said: "You mean, the one that attacked her and bit Zhu'er back then was a beast? But, I remember that Zhu'er's remains were not poisonous."

This is indeed true.

Yan Ruyu took a deep breath and said, "I asked Dong Qiang, and she said that when she rescued Tangli, the one who hurt her did look like a beast, but she wasn't sure because she didn't see it clearly."

"The three bloody holes on Tangli's shoulders don't look man-made."

Huo Changhe was also confused: "I have been in the northwest for many years and have seen tigers, leopards and bears, but I have never seen this."

"But the world is so big, it's hard to say."

Yan Ruyu did not comment.

Huo Changhe pulled her to sit down: "You are tired after so long, sit down and take a rest, it won't be too late to ask her when she wakes up."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Oh, by the way, go ask An Cizhou, he came here, it seems that Prince Yong asked him to come, or he came here secretly."

"I'll watch over here, you go ask first."

Huo Changhe looked at her with deep eyes: "It's okay, don't worry, he has come all the way here, there is no need to rush, he is tired from the journey, let him rest for a while."

Huo Changhe held Yan Ruyu's hand and said, "Let me talk to you. How is Madam Shen's pregnancy today?"

Yan Ruyu sighed heavily: "Mentioning this matter is also the result I least want to see."

"She's not pregnant at all."

Huo Changhe frowned slightly: "It seems that she was given a fake pregnancy drug."

If that was the case, then she was destined to die from the very beginning.

When the child is born, their midwife will come with the child.

When the child comes, she dies.

Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment: "I haven't told her the truth yet. It can be seen that she and her husband attach great importance to this pregnancy."

The happiness and sweetness between Mrs. Shen's eyebrows and eyes appeared in front of Yan Ruyu again.

In this situation, how could she say it and break her dream?

Huo Changhe comforted him, "Don't worry about it. I'll go talk to Shen Wenqi. He's a man, so he should be able to bear it better. Besides, why did the medicine end up in his wife's arms? It should be because he asked for it himself."

"Fortunately, it wasn't some other disgusting method, otherwise...Mrs. Shen wouldn't be able to survive."

Yan Ruyu's heart sank. Yes, if Madam Shen was defiled, lost her virginity, and became pregnant with an unknown child, she would probably want to die.

Although it is still a tragedy now, but...it is better after all.

Yan Ruyu could only comfort herself in this way.

"Let's find a chance to talk about it," Yan Ruyu whispered, "I said I would find a gynecologist and obstetrician for her. When the time comes, I'll talk to her and she can be with me."

Huo Changhe was stunned: "We still need to go to her house?"

"Let's talk in a few days."

Huo Changhe had no choice but to agree.

At this moment, there was a noise in the room, Jiang Tangli should have woken up.

Yan Ruyu quickly turned around and went into the house.

Jiang Tangli woke up as expected, and was looking around in confusion, wondering where she was.

When she saw Yan Ruyu clearly, her face was full of disbelief, then shock, and then tears of grievance flowed out.
