Wei Dongling took off at a run, quickly hiding Tian Qi in a haystack. Then she turned around and sprinted towards the back door of Xuyang Winery.
Yu Zixi, wait for me.
Looking up, she saw Yu Zixi still struggling desperately, but his movements were obviously sluggish, and blood was gushing from his abdomen.
Wei Dongling's eyes were bloodshot with rage. She roared, "Let go of my man!" Then she took out a short dagger from her sleeve and rushed forward quickly to fight with the crowd.
Wei Dongling had always been afraid of killing and seeing blood. But seeing Yu Zixi seriously injured like this today, she was extremely anxious. The short dagger in her hand quickly slashed across the necks of several guards, and they fell to the ground one after another.
Yu Zixi's face was covered in blood. There was a big hole in his abdomen, and fresh blood was pouring out. When he saw Wei Dongling running towards him, he managed to pull out a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and then slowly fell to the ground.
Wei Dongling's eyes were full of tears. She hurriedly reached out to hold the limp Yu Zixi. Sorrow welled up in her heart. "Yu Zixi, how are you? You've lost so much blood. I'm so scared..."
Yu Zixi forced his eyelids to flutter. His voice was extremely weak. "I'm okay. Don't be afraid."
Many guards behind her rushed towards her. Regardless of everything, Wei Dongling picked up Yu Zixi and ran as fast as she could. With a crying voice, she howled, "Can't you eat less on weekdays? You're so heavy. I can hardly carry you!"
Yu Zixi didn't respond. Whether it was due to the pain or excessive blood loss, he tilted his head and passed out.
But a group of guards surrounded them in front, blocking their way.
Wei Dongling was extremely anxious, and her heart sank little by little.
Suddenly, the guards in front of her were hit by hidden weapons and fell to the ground one after another. A red - clothed woman with a veil on her face appeared out of nowhere and fought her way through for Wei Dongling.
Without hesitation, Wei Dongling dashed out.
She kicked Tian Qi hard in the face and shouted loudly, "Tian Qi! Tian Qi!"
Tian Qi, who was lying in the haystack, was woken up slowly by her kick.
Wei Dongling cried out, "If you're not dead, get up quickly! Your young master is dying!"
Tian Qi's body trembled. He quickly got up to check on Yu Zixi, who was unconscious and pale - faced. Wei Dongling was extremely panicked. She trembled as she put Yu Zixi down and pressed her hands tightly on the wound on his abdomen. In an instant, her hands were stained with scarlet blood.
What should she do! The blood just wouldn't stop!
Tian Qi was unusually calm. He took out a pack of silver needles from his sleeve and sealed the acupuncture points to stop the bleeding. Then he tore his own clothes and tightly bound the wound on Yu Zixi's body with the cloth strips.
"Send him to the medical clinic quickly." The person who spoke was the red - clothed woman behind them.
Wei Dongling looked up at her and immediately recognized her. This was the beauty that Yu Zixi had held in his arms that night when they passed by Xiaoxiang Pavilion!
Even though she had changed her clothes and was still wearing a veil, her proud bosom was so impressive that Wei Dongling could recognize her at a glance.
"Okay." Tian Qi took out a pill from the medicine bottle on his body, crushed it, and stuffed it into Yu Zixi's mouth. Then he picked him up and rushed to the medical clinic.
Wei Dongling followed them nervously.
After guarding in the medical clinic for more than two hours, Yu Zixi's wound was finally cleaned.
Ruochen, the red - clothed woman, got on the carriage and took everyone back to the capital city.
Yu Zixi still hadn't woken up. His head was resting on Tian Qi's abdomen, and his face was frighteningly pale.
Wei Dongling couldn't help asking Tian Qi, "Why were you in Xuyang Winery?"
Tian Qi said helplessly, "That day, I followed them all the way to Zhiyuan Tea House in Liaocheng. By chance, I saw someone delivering wine. At first, I didn't pay much attention. But in the evening, I found that the wine jars were all filled with silver."
It matched. The Zhao family's secret deal was with Xuyang Winery.
Wei Dongling asked, "About two or three thousand taels of silver?"
Tian Qi looked up in surprise and asked, "How do you know?"
That day, Tian Qi traced from Zhiyuan Tea House to Xuyang Winery. He followed the boss of the winery, Young Master Mingyang, all the way. This young master took his servants to the ferry and got on a big cargo ship. He got off after about half an hour without unloading any goods. Tian Qi wanted to board the ship to find out, but unexpectedly, he was noticed by Young Master Mingyang's people and was ambushed on the spot.
Tian Qi said, "The cargo ship is from Xingshan. I don't know where it's going."
Xingshan? The Zhao family's tea - picking field?
The group simply ate some steamed buns on the way. When they returned to the capital city, it was pitch - black.
Tian Qi carried Yu Zixi off the carriage. Instead of going back to the Yu Mansion, he rushed directly into Yunzhu Courtyard.
The waiter was shocked when he saw Yu Zixi in this state. He asked tremblingly, "The young master is so seriously injured?" He quickly led them to the Tian - shaped room on the second floor. Soon, he brought hot water and then turned around to decoct medicine.
Wei Dongling was stunned. Yu Zixi was actually the behind - the - scenes boss of Yunzhu Courtyard?
Miss Ruochen wet a handkerchief with hot water and gently wiped Yu Zixi's cheek while he was still unconscious.
Her proud bosom swayed back and forth with her movements. Even Wei Dongling, as a woman, couldn't help blushing. Looking down at her own flat chest, she burst into tears instantly.
They were all human beings. Why was there such a big difference!
Soon, Shangguan Yun received the news and rushed over. He looked at Yu Zixi, who had lost all his color on the bed. His face was frighteningly gloomy.
Ruochen bowed to Shangguan Yun and then turned around and went back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Just when Wei Dongling didn't know how to face Shangguan Yun, he looked at her with a cold face and said in a cold voice, "Miss Wei, you've worked hard. This prince will stay here and guard. You may go back."
Wei Dongling's lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say something but couldn't say a word. She had to silently retreat towards the door.
At this time, Yu Zixi on the bed slowly woke up. He called out to her softly, "Wei Dongling..."
Wei Dongling trembled all over. Under Shangguan Yun's cold and icy gaze, she trembled and went back to the bedside again. She reached out and grabbed Yu Zixi's hand and whispered, "I'm here."
Yu Zixi opened his eyes with difficulty and said weakly, "The account books... send them to that secret guard of the crown prince who is familiar with you last time."
Wei Dongling felt mixed emotions. She didn't expect that this would be the first thing he said when he woke up. She bit her lip and asked, "Why?"
Yu Zixi gasped and said weakly, "Neither you nor I are suitable to step forward."
Wei Dongling immediately understood. Yu Zixi wanted to use the hand of the crown prince to make these two families fight to the end.
Wei Dongling was a bit reluctant. She whispered, "There must be something fishy about the Xingshan tea - picking field. I want to investigate it myself." She wanted to get rid of the Zhao family with her own hands!
Yu Zixi gritted his teeth and waved his hand. "We must investigate, but it's more appropriate to hand over the evidence to the crown prince's people. Trust me."
Wei Dongling nodded. "Okay."
Yu Zixi reached out and stroked her cheek. "Don't worry. I'm okay. Go back. Be careful." Then he asked Tian Qi to send her back to the General's Mansion.
Wei Dongling nodded and turned around to leave.
Qi Jinxuan was frightened when she saw Wei Dongling with blood all over her hands. She quickly asked the servants to fetch water for her to take a bath and also told the kitchen to prepare supper for her. It was very late before she finally went to sleep.
