Ji Huaishan fainted and was carried out by the guards. Ji Xingxuan did not resist and staggered out of the room. Before leaving the room, she looked back at Yu Shu. It was a quick glance that was neither angry nor angry, but there was a hint of coldness in it. Yu Shu could tell that it was not over yet.
Yu Shu secretly sneered. If it was not over yet, then so be it. She was not afraid of her.
She did not expect to make the Ji Family extinct this time. However, with another trump card in her hand, it was inevitable that she would be skinned. Moreover, Yu Shu turned to look at the ninth prince, Liu Tan, who was standing next to Xue Rui. She always felt that they would add fuel to the fire. Even if she did not pursue this matter, the two of them seemed to have other plans. Since Ji Huaishan was an official in the court, he must have enemies and friends. She did not know if there would be more people who would help in the hour of need or more people who would hit him when he was down.
"Oh." Yu Shu suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. She gasped and felt dizzy again. Her body swayed and she fell down. At the same time, two hands reached out from behind and held her firmly.
"Xiaoyu."
"Shu?"
Yu Shu shook her head. To her left, it was Xue Rui and to her right, it was Jing Chen. Both of them were in the same place. She felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. She opened her mouth but could not say anything. She could only raise her right hand and wave it gently. She frowned and endured the churning in her stomach. The two big shots of the Celestial Commissioner were still here. If she really vomited here, it would be embarrassing.
Seeing that Yu Shu's face was getting paler and paler, Xue Rui knew that she could not hold on any longer. Therefore, he asked the Grand Secretary to leave. "Grand Secretary, my sworn sister is still ill. Tonight, the junior supervisor 'accidentally' twisted her finger. Please allow me to send her back first. I will go to the Supreme Court after she has settled down."
The Grand Tipping Master heard the harshness in his words and turned his head to look at Ren Qiming, whose face was slightly red. He said considerately, "Go quickly. This little girl has suffered tonight. I have a high-grade Blood Circulation Powder. I'll have someone deliver it tomorrow."
"Thank you, Grand Secretary." Xue Rui nodded. Just as he was about to help Yu Shu up, Jing Chen, who was on the other side, held up her elbow and pushed aside her sleeves. When he saw that her pinkie finger was seeping with a small patch of dark red blood, his thin face turned pale. "Xiaoyu, your hand …"
Yu Shu's mind was in a daze. She could not hear what others were saying. However, when she saw Jing Chen's panicked expression, she could not help but smile at him comfortingly.
Jing Chen quickly found the culprit. He turned to look at Ren Qiming and frowned. "Did you break her finger?"
If it was someone else who questioned him, Ren Qiming could still put on a cold face. However, the Daoist was not an ordinary person. Ren Qiming could only say awkwardly, "It was a misunderstanding."
Hearing Ren Qiming admit to it, Jing Chen's eyes flashed. Just as he gently put Yu Shu's hand down, his other hand had already shot out. Shrinking his feet, he appeared in front of Ren Qiming in the blink of an eye. His two fingers formed a hook and actually grabbed at Ren Qiming's left hand that was hanging by his side!
This sudden change caught everyone off guard. However, just as Jing Chen grabbed Ren Qiming's hand, Qing Feng, who had been standing quietly at the side, also made his move. His palm turned into a knife and mercilessly chopped at Jing Chen's wrist. Jing Chen countered with his other palm but did not let go. After three moves, Jing Chen flicked his wrist and pushed Qing Feng back three steps. He then grabbed Ren Qiming's wrist. Only then did the onlookers come back to their senses. They were shocked and shouted, "Stop!"
"Daoist, please stop!"
"Jing Chen."
The Daoist's voice was neither loud nor soft. However, when it fell into Jing Chen's ears, it made him pause. His two fingers were clamped on Ren Qiming's little finger. Junior Eunuch Ren, whose wrist was caught and could not move easily, had an ugly expression on his face.
Xue Rui looked at Jing Chen in surprise. If he was not mistaken, this person was planning to break Ren Qiming's finger!
"Jing Chen." The Daoist walked two steps to Jing Chen and pressed one hand on his arm. "What are you doing?"
Jing Chen looked at Yu Shu, who was leaning against Xue Rui in a daze, and said, "I've said that I'll protect Xiaoyu and not let anyone hurt her. He broke Xiaoyu's finger, so I'll break his too."
Hearing his matter-of-fact tone, everyone was speechless. However, the Daoist smiled. Not only did he not stop him, he even turned to Ren Qiming and asked, "You heard him. You broke his finger, and now he wants to break it back. What are you going to do?"
Ren Qiming's face darkened, but he did not look for an excuse. He said, "Daoist, just do it."
"Daoist!" The attendant, Qing Feng, covered his injured chest and stepped forward. He reached out a hand to Jing Chen and said, "Daoist, if you want to break it, then break it. It's me who broke this young lady's finger. It has nothing to do with you, Your Excellency."
"Qing Feng, step back." Ren Qiming frowned and reprimanded. He had to bear the consequences of his own actions. With his current status, how could he act like a rogue?
"Your Excellency!"
Jing Chen looked at them, and for a moment, he did not know whose finger he should break.
The Daoist looked at this scene with a faint smile and did not try to dissuade them. Liu Tan wanted to say something, but he hesitated and did not say anything. At this moment, there was a light cough, and a weak voice sounded, "Jing Chen, you don't have to do this. Cough, cough. Sir Ren was anxious for your safety, so he hurt me by mistake. I don't blame him."
Actually, Yu Shu was not unconscious. Her mind was still clear at this moment. She had seen Jing Chen make a move just now, so she pretended to be ignorant and waited for the crucial moment to speak.
It was pure nonsense to say that she did not blame Junior Supervisor Ren. The ten fingers were connected to the heart, so how could the pain of having one's finger broken be resolved with just a few words? However, compared to venting her anger and making enemies in the future, she was more willing to let this high-ranking junior supervisor recognize her as a good son. Moreover, she could see that Ren Qiming was a person who liked to be just and could not tolerate any wrongdoings. This kind of person had always been strict with himself. Making him feel guilty was more painful than having his finger broken.
Xue Rui lowered his head to look at Yu Shu who looked dispirited after seeing the doctor. He could clearly guess what was on her mind. Seeing that she was still able to play tricks in this state, he really did not know what to say.
"Martial Uncle," Liu Tan spoke at the right time, "I think Miss Yu's condition is not good. It's better to send her back as soon as possible. Don't delay anymore."
Jing Chen looked at Yu Shu and saw her nod lightly. He hesitated for a moment, then let go of Ren Qiming and walked back to Yu Shu's side. Just as he was about to help Yu Shu, he heard Senior Supervisor Ren say, "Daozi, you should go to the palace with me first to report to the emperor. Let Mr. Xue send Miss Yu back first."
Yu Shu's eyelids twitched, and she quietly raised her hand. Using her body as cover, she grabbed Jing Chen's sleeve. What a joke. She hadn't even gotten a good explanation from Jing Chen, so how could she let him go like this? However, it was also strange. This Senior Supervisor Ren should know the secret of Jing Chen's Ketu Star. Why wasn't he afraid of the emperor being killed? Even if the power of Jing Chen's Ketu Star was greatly reduced after the full moon, was it appropriate to take him into the palace so rashly?
Jing Chen didn't know what Yu Shu was planning, but he wouldn't leave her side at this time even if she didn't say anything. So he shook his head at Senior Supervisor Ren and said, "I want to send her back. I can't go with you.
Senior Supervisor Ren looked at them and didn't stop them. Instead, he ordered the guards to send them away and sent Qingfeng to follow them, so as to not lose track of Jing Chen again.
The young people left, and soon only Senior Supervisor Ren and Ren Qiming were left in the building.
"Imperial Secretary, in your opinion, is Ji Huaishan really involved with the thief who murdered Daozi?"
"Whether he is or not, that's the matter of the Supreme Court. It's not the duty of the Celestial Commissioner to investigate the case."
"Don't you think it's strange that the little girl named Yu Shu is safe and sound after being with Daozi for so long?"
"There are a lot of people in this world who are lucky, hehe."
Senior Supervisor Ren turned his head and patted Ren Qiming's shoulder. He left with an ambiguous smile and left with his hands behind his back.
Daozi had returned to the capital, and he had to send the news to the palace as soon as possible.
Young Lord Rui waited outside the Celestial Commissioner's door for a long time. Finally, he saw Xue Rui and Liu Tan coming out. He quickly jumped off the carriage to greet them and asked curiously, "What happened? I just saw Judge Ji and Miss Ji family being escorted away?"
It was late at night, and the Celestial Commissioner's door was so quiet that there wasn't even a passerby. The longevity lamp illuminated the slender shadows of people. Gusts of night wind rolled up the cold air. Yu Shu couldn't help coughing twice.
Xue Rui frowned and said, "Let's get in the carriage first."
Rui Lin was not blind. Seeing Xue Rui and a strange man supporting Yu Shu on one side, he quickly ran to the carriage and opened the curtain.
Fortunately, the carriage was spacious and could easily accommodate the five of them. Yu Shu was the first to sit in the carriage with Xue Rui's help. As soon as she touched the cushion, she became weak. She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted someone to knock her out with a hammer. It turned out that when they came out of the carriage, Xue Rui intended to carry her, but as soon as her feet left the ground, she wanted to vomit, so she forced herself to walk out of the Celestial Commissioner's door.
In the carriage, Liu Tan and Rui Lin sat on one side, Yu Shu sat in the corner, and Jing Chen and Xue Rui sat on each side.
"Brother Rui, where are we going now?"
Xue Rui poured a cup of tea to feed Yu Shu while telling him the address of Zhao Hui's house. Doctor He's medical skills were still trustworthy. At this time, it was better to find their own people than to find an internal physician elsewhere. Moreover, that family must be worried about Yu Shu. It was a good time to go back and report that she was safe.
Jing Chen put his hand on Yu Shu's wrist and gently frowned. He put her wrist on his knee and touched the side of her waist. Just as he touched the corner of her clothes, he was stopped by Xue Rui. Looking up at Xue Rui's guarded gaze, Jing Chen did not know why he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still explained to him, "I asked Xiaoyu to prepare a pill to carry with her. You will feel better after taking one. Let go."
Xue Rui didn't loosen his grip when he heard this. Even though Jing Chen's actions of attacking Ren Qiming without the slightest hesitation in the Directorate of Astronomy had caused him to view Jing Chen in a new light, it didn't mean that he could watch as Jing Chen made a move against Yu Shu.
When Jing Chen saw that Xue Rui did not let go, he turned his palm to break free. Unexpectedly, Xue Rui also knew martial arts. With a turn of his wrist, he clamped his hand again. Jing Chen turned his finger to flick his wrist, and Xue Rui clenched his fist to meet it. The two did not give way to each other, and in this narrow space, they began to fight with small tricks.
Yu Shu was half-dead, and she did not even have the strength to open her eyes, let alone stop them.
Ruilin looked at this and that. Because before Jing Chen appeared, he was kicked out by Ren Qiming, so he did not recognize him. He whispered to Liu Tan, "Who is this?"
Liu Tan looked at the two men in front of him strangely. They were usually steady, but now they were fighting like children. His lips moved, "My Youngest Martial Uncle."
