Chapter 588: Fortunately alive
Yunting came to Furong Pavilion and it was Yan Qing who opened the door.
"You're back so late. How did the interrogation go?" Yan Qing asked as they walked, his arm around Yun Ting's shoulder.
Yun Ting walked up to the bed and nodded to Xiao Yu before saying, "Your Highness, the trial is complete. Zheng Chengrui is the mastermind. The Dali Temple will submit a report tomorrow morning."
"Well, is it bad for you?"
"No."
After asking about the trial, Xiao Yu had a general understanding of the situation and felt that it was time to implement the plan he had already made.
"The cancer that is the Minister of Rites can now be removed."
Yan Qing's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this. "Are they finally going to take action? Who is your Highness going to have present the evidence?"
Xiao Yu's deep eyes were like a calm abyss, harbouring danger. "Is anyone who knows Zheng Zixu still in Xuzhou?"
Yan Qing nodded, "It's still there. We've been sending people to keep an eye on it. It's never left. Where does Your Highness want to start?"
"Well, wasn't the Ministry of War looking for lost items a few days ago? Bring over some dilapidated bow and crossbow manuscripts."
Yan Qing immediately understood Xiao Yu's idea. "Your Highness, do you mean to lure the people from the Dali Temple over there, escort them to the capital, and then tell him that Zheng Zixu is Guan Baiyu. Naturally, he will find a way to drag Zheng Zixu into this?"
"That's right." Xiao Yu had a confident smile on his lips.
At this moment, he did not look like a terminally ill person, but rather like a chess player who controlled all chess pieces and could change the situation with a single wave of his hand.
Every time at this time, Yun Ting would feel an inexplicable awe towards Xiao Yu, but now there was another emotion in his heart - fear.
Yan Qing smiled and patted Yun Ting's shoulder, and confidently pushed the matter to Yun Ting, "I have to serve the prince here. Now that you are back, you can handle these things!"
Yun Ting nodded to Xiao Yu and said, "I'll do it right away."
"Go."
After watching Yun Ting leave, Yan Qing looked towards the door and muttered, "Why do I feel like he's become even more taciturn after returning from this mission? If he keeps going like this, he'll definitely become mute. I guess I need to talk to him more often."
Xiao Yu looked across the screen in the direction Yun Ting had left, his gaze growing more serious. Even someone as volatile as Yan Qing could sense Yun Ting's change, but hadn't Yun Ting noticed? Or did he have other plans?

Su Lingyue had to say all the nice things she could to get Doctor Lu to agree to let her stay in Baicao Garden to take care of Ling Ling. At night, she and Caidie took turns to look after Ling Ling.
Early in the morning, when she was lying on the table and drowsy, the servant came to report that Jiang Siqi had arrived.
When Su Lingyue opened the door, she saw Jiang Siqi pacing in the yard, followed by a dozen servants, each holding boxes of different sizes.
"Second cousin?"
Hearing Su Lingyue's slightly sleepy voice, Jiang Siqi suddenly raised his head, walked up to Su Lingyue and asked, "How is Miss Ling? Is she still alive? Is her wound serious?"
Su Lingyue was stunned by Jiang Siqi's string of questions. It took her a while to react before answering them one by one: "Ling'er is still alive. Her injuries are quite serious, so she is still unconscious."
After answering Jiang Siqi's question, Su Lingyue's sleepiness also faded away. She looked at the dark circles under Jiang Siqi's eyes and asked, "Second cousin, you didn't sleep last night?"
"Well, I'm worried about Miss Ling and can't sleep." After saying that, he asked Su Lingyue anxiously, "Can I go in and take a look?"
Su Lingyue nodded, and without waiting for her to speak, Jiang Siqi strode into the room.
Caidie was still standing by, and when she saw Jiang Siqi come in, she quickly bowed and made way. Jiang Siqi ignored Caidie and sat directly on the stool where Caidie had just sat, carefully checking on Ling Ling.
Ling Ling lying on the bed had her eyes closed. Her face, which usually had a bright smile, was now pale, and her brows were slightly wrinkled, as if she was enduring something.
Seeing Ling Ling like this, Jiang Siqi hurriedly asked Su Lingyue who followed in, "Is she frowning because she feels uncomfortable somewhere?"
Su Lingyue explained softly: "Ling'er is hurt in the heart, so of course it hurts."
"Is there any way to relieve the pain?"
Su Lingyue shook her head. "No, her condition is still unstable. She can't use Ma Fei San. If she does, she might never wake up."
Ling Ling delayed the treatment, so her condition is more serious than before. Now I can only do my best to protect her and hope that Ling'er can wake up soon.
Jiang Siqi wilted instantly like a green radish hit by frost. When he turned his head to look at Ling Ling, his eyes were already slightly red.
How could a little girl like her have the courage to replace Yan'er to face those men in black? With such a serious injury, she must be in great pain, which is why she kept frowning, but she could do nothing.
"Cousin, some of the medicine outside is what I got from the Jiang family's pharmacy, and some is what my father asked for from the palace. Can you see if there is anything you can give to Miss Ling? Try to make her feel less pain."
"it is good."
After Su Lingyue agreed to Jiang Siqi, she came out to check the medicines Jiang Siqi brought. Some of them were indeed rare and effective medicines for external injuries.
After modifying Ling Ling's prescription, she and Caidie went to boil the medicine.
Doctor Lu woke up early in the morning and went to see his granddaughter. Seeing the table full of medicine and Jiang Siqi sitting by his granddaughter's bed, he couldn't bear to send him away.
After all, it was Ling'er who volunteered to help Miss Jiang. If Ling'er woke up and knew that I had treated her friend coldly, she would definitely be angry.
After daybreak, Mrs. Jiang brought Jiang Yan to Baicao Garden and brought many precious medicinal herbs and supplements.
When Jiang Yan saw Ling Ling lying on the bed with a weak breath, she almost fainted from crying in Madam Jiang's arms. Su Lingyue and Madam Jiang tried to comfort her for a long time but failed. It was not until Caiyi gave Ling Ling a half-made dress and asked her to continue working on it that Jiang Yan stopped crying.
From then on, Jiang Yan begged Madam Jiang to take her to the palace to see Ling Ling every day.
With careful care, Ling Ling finally opened her eyes on the fifth day of her coma.
Doctor Lu was preparing medicine. When he heard that his granddaughter had woken up, he threw away the medicine hammer in his hand and trotted to his granddaughter's bedroom.
Jiang Yan was holding Ling Ling's hand, crying with tears and snot.
"Ling'er, thank goodness you woke up."
"I was so scared. You slept for so many days. I thought you... wuwu..."
Doctor Lu didn't care about anything else and directly snatched Ling Ling's little hand from Jiang Yan. After taking her pulse, he was sure that his granddaughter was no longer in danger of life and was alive. Only then did he finally shed tears without caring about his image.
"Xiao Ling'er, it's a good thing you didn't abandon Grandpa. If anything happened to you, Grandpa wouldn't be alive either."
Ling Ling opened her eyes and saw her familiar family and friends around her. She was in a daze for a long time before she remembered what had happened. She asked Jiang Yan, who was lying beside the bed, weakly, "Yan'er, are you okay?"
Jiang Yan had never been so moved as she was now. This girl, who was one year older than her, had her life hanging by a thread, and the first thing she thought of when she woke up was to worry about her safety.
"Well, I'm fine. They saved me and found my mother." Jiang Yan said, tears rolling down her face like a flood.
Mrs. Jiang had previously looked down on Ling Ling, thinking she was a country girl, but now she felt ashamed of her narrow-minded thinking.
This girl whom I have always looked down upon actually has such a generous and selfless heart. Compared with her, I am really judging others by my own standards.
"Yes, Yan'er and I are fine, Ling'er, don't worry!" Mrs. Jiang's face was full of love, and she looked at Ling Ling gently like an elder, as if she were looking at her own daughter.
Ling Ling lay there, took a long breath, looked at the old man in front of her who was holding her hand tightly, and suddenly found that he seemed to have many more white hairs on his temples.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, for making you worry." Seeing her closest relative, Ling Ling couldn't help but feel red in the eyes due to guilt and fear.
"How could grandpa blame you? As long as you are safe and sound, that's enough." Doctor Lu cried for the first time in all these years, and they were tears of joy.
Su Lingyue and Jiang Siqi, who were standing outside the crowd, looked at each other and smiled at each other at the same time.

In the Dali Temple, Duan Xu suddenly received a letter from the Xuzhou prefect via carrier pigeon, and his face changed instantly.
"Stolen weapon blueprints were found in Xuzhou. Huaizhi, go there."
Li Huaizhi's expression changed instantly. After reading the contents of the letter in Duan Xu's hand, he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I will bring the person back now."
