?
Ye Zhen waited in the room for a long time. She thought she would hear the sound of fighting on the deck again, but there was no sound.
"Miss Lu, Miss Lu!" Li Yuniang's maid knocked on the door.
"What's the matter?" Hong Ying went to open the door.
The maid stood outside the door, afraid to come in. After seeing Xiao Qi, she was even more frightened. "Miss … Miss Lu, our lady is looking for you. She has something to tell you."
Ye Zhen nodded faintly and whispered to Hong Ying, "There seems to be something wrong outside. What happened to you?"
Xiao Qi followed closely behind Ye Zhen.
Li Yuniang had already woken up. She looked delicate without heavy makeup, but because of her injury, she was lying on the bed and looked very weak. When she saw Ye Zhen come in, she dismissed the two maids in the room.
The two maids looked at each other, then at Ye Zhen, and went out of the room with their heads down.
"What can I do for you?" Ye Zhen came in and saw that her complexion was better than yesterday. She knew that she was not looking for her because of the wound.
"Miss Lu, thank you for saving my life." Li Yuniang had no chance to see anyone since she woke up. Except for her maids, she only saw Shen Yuexuan.
Ye Zhen looked down at her faintly. "You're welcome. Master Shen gave me a very generous consultation fee."
Li Yuniang smiled bitterly. "I still have a little value."
"Did you look for me just to say this?" Ye Zhen looked at Li Yuniang, who was completely different from before. There was no disgust in her heart, but she herself was in a special situation now and did not want to have too much interaction with others.
"Can you tell me what happened outside?" Li Yuniang asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows. "You can ask your maids to go out and see."
"They are not my maids. They will not listen to me. If I didn't say I was not feeling well, they would not have invited you." Li Yuniang said, "I scolded you like that and was so rude to you. You are still willing to save me. I know you are a good person."
Good person? Ye Zhen smiled faintly. This description was fresh.
Li Yuniang struggled to sit up straight. "Is that Bai Ziqi still on the ship?"
"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded. "You can rest assured that he is locked up and will not hurt you."
"Impossible." Li Yuniang shook her head. "He will definitely think of ways to kill me. Miss Lu, I have a favor to ask of you."
Ye Rou furrowed her brows. She didn't really want to agree. She subconsciously felt that it wouldn't be a good thing.
"When I escaped from the Cao family's stronghold, I originally wanted to go to Dongqing, but Bai Ziqi refused to let me go, so I went to the Jin Kingdom. It wasn't easy for me to get close to Shen Yuexuan, thinking that I could finally go to Dongqing to find Master Cao's son … I didn't expect that Bai Ziqi would dare to rob the Shen family's ship. Miss Lu, this is what both Bai Ziqi and Shen Yuexuan are looking for, can you hide it for me?"
Ye Zhen did not reach out to take it. She did not want to promise Li Yuniang at all.
"Miss Lu, if I'm taken away by those pirates or killed, please give this map to Dongqing's top scholar. His name is Cao Yu …" Li Yuniang's eyes were filled with tears. "Please, Miss Lu, I have no other way out."
Ye Zhen looked at her pale and fragile face. "You said that person is the top scholar?"
"Yes, please give this to him, please." Li Yuniang cried.
"Why don't you let Shen Yuexuan help you?" Ye Zhen asked softly.
Li Yuniang laughed at herself. "How could he help me? Shen Yuexuan seems to be affectionate, but in fact, he is the most ruthless. If he gets this map, he will not save me again. "
Ye Zhen looked at her hesitantly. She didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Li Yuniang and Shen Yuexuan. However, Cao Yu was the top scholar of Dongqing, which meant that he was her father's colleague. What was his relationship with her father?
"Miss Lu, no one will know that this map is with you. I won't tell anyone." Li Yuniang looked at Ye Zhen in despair.
"They all know that this map is with you. What if you can't hand it over?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Li Yuniang said, "Don't worry, I've been prepared."
"You want to give them a fake one?" Ye Zhen frowned at her. "What if you are found out?"
"My life was saved by Master Cao. Now that I'm avenging him, why would I care about my own life? It'll be a long time before they realize it's fake. Miss Lu, I beg you, please help me." Li Yuniang cried.
Ye Zhen hesitated for a moment and finally took the sheepskin map from her hand. "I don't know if I can find the Cao Yu you mentioned, but I am also going to the capital. I can only try my best to give this to him for you."
Li Yuniang seemed to have finished her last wish. She relaxed and fell on the bed. "Thank you, Miss Lu."
"Then I'll go." Ye Zhen looked at her and turned to open the door.
The two maids were still guarding outside the door. When they saw Ye Zhen coming out, they hurriedly asked with a smile, "Miss Lu, is our lady's wound okay?"
"Be careful. Don't touch the wound when you scrub it. It's not healed yet. It's easy to split." Ye Zhen said coldly.
The two maids looked at each other. "We know."
Ye Zhen returned to the wing room and took out the map from her arms. After thinking carefully, she put the map in the secret compartment of the medicine box.
What happened outside? If there were pirates, there should have been the sound of fighting and killing. Why was it so quiet?
Hong Ying, who went out to inquire about the news, had not yet returned. Ye Zhen waited for a while and did not see her. She planned to go to the deck and have a look. As soon as she walked out of the wing room, she saw a pirate ship next to their passenger ship from the window.
Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat. These pirates were a bit strange. They didn't seem to intend to do anything.
She hurried to the deck and saw at a glance Hong Ying, who was held by two pirates with a knife on her neck.
"Miss!" Hong Ying's face changed slightly when she saw Ye Zhen coming out.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Zhen's face was covered with a layer of frost. Her eyes looked coldly at the three men on the deck.
She didn't know when Shen Yuexuan had released Bai Ziqi. Now the two of them were sitting with Murong Ke at the low table on the deck, drinking, while her maid was threatened by two men dressed as Hai Ze.
"Is this the little doll who knocked me out?" As soon as Bai Ziqi saw Ye Zhen, he immediately stood up and shouted, "Catch her for me!"
Ye Zhen's face darkened. When she was about to use her sleeve dart, she heard Murong Ke's cold voice. "Who dares to touch her?"
Bai Ziqi looked at him with a black face. "Murong Ke, I have no other requirements. If you want to negotiate with me, then throw her into the river first!"
