Song Jiong waited from day to night, then from night to dawn. He was so anxious that he didn't know what happened to Murong Ke. He rubbed his face hard with both hands, trying to wake himself up.
In the early hours of the morning, the surroundings were still silent. The grass on the ground was covered with dew. The chilly spring weather made him exhale a breath of cold air and jump a few times.
"Ah! Ah!" Suddenly, a tragic scream broke the sky.
Song Jiong was startled and looked back abruptly. A carriage broke through the sky and came this way at a very fast speed.
Whose scream was it? Song Jiong's face changed drastically. He could tell that it was Murong Ke's voice, but he couldn't believe it. How could their lord make such a tragic cry?
The carriage was getting closer and closer, and the scream became more and more obvious. Even Ye Zhen in the house was alarmed.
"It's your lord." Shen Yi came to Song Jiong's side and whispered.
Song Jiong took a deep breath and stepped forward to greet the carriage.
When Teng Ye saw Song Jiong, his face was obviously relieved and he hurriedly stopped the carriage. "Where is Lu Yaoyao?"
"In the house." Song Jiong said, looking at the carriage, "Where is the lord?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Ke broke free from the rope and rushed out of the carriage. His eyes were red as he stared at the front, as if he couldn't see anyone, like a mad leopard.
"Catch him!" Teng Ye shouted and jumped up from the shaft to catch Murong Ke.
Song Jiong recovered from the shock and followed Teng Ye to stop Murong Ke.
Ye Zhen, who had already come out of the house, stared at the scene.
Is that man covered in blood Murong Ke?
How could it be him?
Shen Yi didn't expect Murong Ke to become like this. He couldn't describe the shock in his heart. He walked to Ye Zhen's side and said, "Niang, Murong Ke seems to have lost his humanity. You have to be careful."
Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "Go and help, bring him back."
"Yes, niang." Shen Yi nodded gently and gestured to Hong Ying and the others.
Hong Ying and Jianjia came over in surprise. "Niang, we finally found you."
"What's the matter with Murong Ke?" Ye Zhen's eyes had been staring at Murong Ke who was fighting with Teng Ye. She could no longer recognize him. His originally handsome face was now full of abscesses and wounds, not to mention, he was so thin that he did not look like a human.
"When we found Murong Ke, he was thrown into the Insect Cave by Qi Ruoshui. It was Mr. Huangfu who helped us rescue him." Hong Ying explained in a low voice. "When we left, Qian Luosha's men and Dark Guards were still fighting with the people from the Priest Hall. I don't know how they are now."
Ye Zhen was a little surprised. "No one chased you?"
"Qi Ruoshui is not in the Priest Hall. There are already less than half of the guards. Wu Ming has been following Mister Huangfu and is not in the Priest Hall," Hong Ying said.
"The wounds on Murong Ke's body were caused by poisonous insects." Ye Rou's heart trembled. Murong Ke had become like this because of her. She knew that he liked her, but she had never thought that he would be willing to do this for her.
She felt terrified and uneasy because she could not reciprocate his sincerity.
"Empress!" Shen Yi had subdued the crazy Murong Ke. Teng Ye carried him on his back. They all looked at her expectantly.
Ye Zhen restrained the grief and helplessness in her heart and whispered, "Put him on the bed. I will deal with his wounds first."
Teng Ye glanced at Ye Zhen. He still hated this woman, but now she was the only one who could save Murong Ke. "You can't let him die for you."
"He won't die." Ye Zhen said lightly.
Putting Murong Ke on the bed, Teng Ye stood by and watched. He must make sure that Lu Yaoyao could cure Murong Ke.
"You all go out." Ye Zhen said to Teng Ye. "Hong Ying and Jianjia stay to help me."
"No, I want to stay here." Teng Ye said coldly.
Ye Zhen looked at him coldly. "Get out."
Song Jiong took Teng Ye's hand and said, "Let's go out and wait."
Shen Yi was not at ease. "Empress, we just knocked him unconscious. What if he wakes up and hurts you?"
Now, Murong Ke couldn't remember anyone else at all. He was worried that he would hurt the child of the empress.
"It's okay, he won't wake up for a while." Ye Zhen said, "Go out."
Song Jiong pulled the two people who refused to move out of the door. "Since the empress said there is no problem, she must be sure. We will wait outside."
Ye Zhen sent them all away and asked Hong Ying to take off Murong Ke's clothes.
The blood on Murong Ke's body had scabbed and stuck to his clothes. It was not easy to take it off. It took a little bit of water to take off his clothes.
Seeing Murong Ke's skin with pus and black blood, Ye Zhen couldn't control her tears for a while.
"Empress …" Hong Ying looked at her worriedly.
Ye Zhen wiped away her tears and bowed her head to carefully examine Murong Ke's wound. The wound on his arm was bitten by some kind of insect, and there were insect eggs on it. If she wanted to cure these wounds, she had to clean all the eggs first.
"Bring me the pen and ink." Ye Zhen quickly wrote a prescription. "Ask Song Jiong to find all these medicinal herbs quickly, as many as he has." Ye Zhen nodded.
"Jianjia, go to the kitchen and boil water."
Ye Zhen ordered and then took out a porcelain bottle from her arms. She knew that she would need to use the spirit spring water in the next few days, so she had already prepared it. However, she still needed the medicinal materials in the space, but if she took them out rashly, she would be suspected. She had to wait for Song Jiong to send the medicinal materials first so that she could take the opportunity to change the medicine in the space.
Song Jiong took the prescription and immediately went to find the medicine. Fortunately, he was prepared two days ago. He had bought a medicine shop not far from the street so that he could get the medicinal materials at any time.
When he brought the medicinal materials back, the water boiled by Jianjia was also boiling. Ye Zhen asked Hong Ying to look after Murong Ke and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine herself.
"Empress, how can I let you boil the medicine yourself?" Shen Yi frowned.
Ye Zhen waved her hand lightly. "Go down." She looked at Jianjia. "Go to my room and bring all the jars on the table. There are powders in them."
Jianjia answered in a low voice.
"Lord Shen, you go and watch Murong Ke, lest he wakes up and runs away again." Ye Zhen said.
After sending everyone away, Ye Zhen took out the medicinal materials from the space and replaced them with the ones bought by Song Jiong. Then, she threw them into the pot according to the amount. After about a quarter of an hour, the potion bubbled.
Ye Zhen called Teng Ye and the others in and asked them to work together to carry a large pot of potion into the house.
"What are these medicines for?" Teng Ye asked.
"Let Murong Ke soak it and get all the insect eggs and insects out of his wound." Ye Zhen said lightly.
