Ning Zhao took a sip of water, the rain wet her forehead, she casually straightened it, shook her head and said, "Since it's not far away, let's not wait, let's go to the city first." ”

After a few days of contact, Shen Xing and Wei Hua both knew that Ning Zhao was a person who said the same, and since she said that she wanted to leave immediately, she would definitely not wait for a moment.

Even so, Wei Hua did not persuade, took out the coat from the luggage and put it on Ning Zhao, and the three of them got on their horses again and galloped towards Daxing City not far away.

However, what they didn't know was that there had just been an assassination incident in Daxingcheng, and the second-rank members of the imperial court were stabbed, and Daxingcheng was completely under martial law.

When they braved the rain to get under the city gates, they couldn't get in at all.

"We are the family of Lord Tobe Shangshujin."

Shen Xing took a step forward, showed the document to the city gate guard, pointed to Ning Zhao on the horse, and said, "This is our lady, we want to enter the city to visit Lord Jin." ”

"Lord Jin?"

The guards knew that a big man was coming from Kyoto, but they didn't know who it was, but it wasn't peaceful in the city tonight, and the guards guarding the city couldn't take it lightly.

He took the document and read it carefully, then looked at the three of them for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "It's a curfew, please ask Madame to enter the city tomorrow." ”

"Why wait for tomorrow when we have the paperwork with us?" Shen Xing was a little displeased.

This is not Kyoto, and the curfew is not so strict at all, but now I tell them to wait until tomorrow to enter the city, which feels wrong.

"Something happened in the city, and we did what we were told."

The guards guarding the city were also a little impatient, but because of the identities of the three of them, they didn't dare to make a mistake, and said kindly: "Please don't embarrass our little ones." ”

Ning Zhao was not far away, and when he heard the guard's words, he stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask what happened in the city?" ”

She was restless today, she had already arrived at the city of Daxing, but she was not allowed to enter, and she was even more anxious.

He was just a small guard guarding the city, and he only knew that there were big people in the city who were assassinated, and he didn't know how to do it, and he wouldn't easily tell others.

"It's all a confidential matter." The guard arched his hand towards Ning Zhao and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to tell Madame." ”

"But we also have an urgent need to see my family."

Shen Xing was very young, and his temper was relatively irritable, his brows furrowed, and he said to the guards guarding the city: "If you can't be the master, go find someone who can be the master, tell them that Mrs. Shangshu has arrived, and see who else dares to lock us out of the city." ”

The guards guarding the city were also a little angry, but seeing that Shen Xing was violent, and his momentum was instantly shorter, he reluctantly agreed, turned around and rushed to report.

Wei Hua noticed Ning Zhao's face and said comfortingly: "Madame, don't worry, we will definitely be able to meet the adults tonight." ”

"Hmm." Ning Zhao took a deep breath and answered softly.

The rain has a tendency to get heavier and heavier, Shen Xing helped Ning Zhao off the horse, he was riding a horse all day, no matter how good Ning Zhao's equestrian skills were, after all, she was also a woman, and when she landed, her legs didn't look like her own.

"Madame, be careful." Shen Xing hurriedly supported her, helped the person to the bottom of the city gate, took a stool from the horse, and asked Ning Zhao to sit down and rest.

After a long time, the guards guarding the city still did not come back, and Ning Zhao's patience disappeared little by little, until she couldn't wait, the guards finally returned, followed by a person in a civilian official uniform.

The guards brought people to Ning Zhao, Shen Xing and Wei Hua naturally blocked in front of Ning Zhao, and the person who came was the Jingguan who traveled with Jin Yuan this time, and he was very familiar with Ning Zhao.

Seeing that Ning Zhao was really here, the person who came hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Why is Madam here?" ”

Ning Zhao didn't have any impression of this person, got up and blessed him, and asked, "What happened in the city?" Why don't you let us into town. ”

Before the man could reply, Ning Zhao then asked, "Then can we enter the city now?" ”

"Of course!" The person who came hurriedly nodded and respectfully invited Ning Zhao into the city.

Along the way, people briefly told Ning Zhao about the situation in Daxing City, and when they learned that Jin Yuan was injured, Ning Zhao's heart was completely pinched, and he finally understood why the guards were so cautious.

"How is your Excellency doing now?" Ning Zhao's hand holding the reins, I don't know if it was rain or sweat, it was wet and slippery, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

"Hey......" The visitor looked at Ning Zhao and sighed helplessly.

This long sigh grabbed the hearts of everyone present, and Shen Xing couldn't help it, urging him: "What's wrong with my lord, you said." ”

"Shen Xing must not be rude!" Ning Zhao scolded, looked at the person who came, and asked, "What do you have to say, do you want to say it directly." ”

The person who came paused, suddenly looked at Ning Zhao as if he remembered something, and said, "Xiaguan remembers that Madame is the head of Miaochun Hall, and she has good medical skills, and even the current saint has been healed by you. ”

Ning Zhao was worried about Jin Yuan in his heart, and nodded impatiently.

"That's great!" The person who came clapped his hands, and his eyes lit up, "Madame hurry up and go with the lower officials, and when you see Lord Jin, it will be clear." ”

Hearing this, Ning Zhao nodded, and several people did not delay for a moment, and ran in the direction of the post house.

"Doctor Xu, how is Lord Jin?" The leading official was waiting at the door, and when he saw Dr. Xu coming out of the room, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Dr. Xu straightened his sleeves and didn't reply for a while, looking a little haggard.

This pause really frightened the leading officer, who hurriedly approached a few steps and asked, "Is it okay or not, give me a clear word." ”

"The wound has been taken care of."

Doctor Xu looked at the leading officer, sighed, and said, "But the wound is too deep, and it is a little infected in the rain, and the adult is having a high fever at the moment." ”

As he spoke, he handed the leading official a prescription and instructed: "This is a prescription for reducing inflammation and fever, give it to the adults first, if the fever subsides tonight, then the adults will be able to survive." ”

In other words, if the fever can't go away, Dr. Xu can't do anything.

The leading official felt a chill in his heart, and clenched the prescription in his hand, as if this was not to save Jin Yuan, but to save himself.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, the leading official turned around and went to grab the medicine and boil the medicine himself, which was the last gamble.

Just bet on Jin Yuan, his life should not be extinguished!

When Ning Zhao arrived at the post house, Jin Yuan had already taken the medicine, Ning Zhao stepped into the courtyard, and the leading official had just come out of Jin Yuan's room, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a woman appearing here.

He was already irritable, where else did he care about at the moment, and immediately shouted: "Who are you, do you know what kind of place this is, and dare to run around?" ”

"Someone!" The leading official shouted loudly, and his subordinates all ran in from outside the courtyard, "Get her out!" ”

"Wait!" Wei Hua saw this scene as soon as he entered the courtyard, and hurriedly interrupted: "This is the wife of Lord Shangshu Jin of the Ministry of Households, who dares to be presumptuous!" ”

Mrs. Shangshu?

That's the lady of Lord Jin lying inside!

The leading official was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had seen a savior, he waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat, and knelt straight at Ning Zhao's feet.
