For the next few days, Ning Wan was so nervous that she could not sit still in her room. She looked forward to hearing about Ning Shu's miserable state after the incident. She waited for three days straight.
At dawn, Ning Wan had a sleepless night. Suddenly, she heard servant Qin Bi rushing in from outside.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Is it done? "Ning Wan grabbed Qin Bi's wrist, her voice filled with secret anticipation.
Qin Bi's face was red and white. She immediately whispered into Ning Wan's ear.
After listening, Ning Wan frowned and asked in surprise, "How did this happen?"
She did not want to harm Ning Shu's life. She only wanted her to die in the nunnery deep in the mountains and never return. Who knew that such an accident would happen? She was extremely shocked.
Ning Wan's nails dug deep into Qin Bi's wrist as she asked anxiously, "What I told you to do three days ago, will there be any mistakes?" This was already a huge matter. If she was implicated, she would not be able to escape from this disaster!
Qin Bi quickly replied, "Don't worry, Miss. I followed your instructions and did it secretly. I guarantee that no one will find out about us."
Ning Wan was relieved. She raised her chin and revealed an agitated and ruthless expression, "It seems that this is an order from God to take her life. Don't blame me! My good sister, when you die, I will send you off properly! "
At the same time, Ning Shu was still in her dream.
Zi Gui came in through the window with the morning dew and immediately woke Ning Shu up. "Miss, something bad has happened! Please leave with me! "
Forsythia, who was on night watch, was startled awake. She immediately asked, "What happened?"
Zi Gui spoke quickly, "Last night, after Young Master Yun vomited blood again, he suddenly fainted and was on the verge of death. Imperial Censor Yun immediately called for the imperial physician. The imperial physician rushed to save him but was almost unable to save him. When the imperial physician was treating Young Master Yun, he suddenly discovered a four-petal-shaped red spot on the side of Young Master Yun's neck. Imperial Censor Yun and Madam Yun immediately gave the order to search the entire residence. Two hours later, a servant of the Yun residence found a pouch under the begonia tree in Young Master Yun's courtyard. Inside the pouch was a blood-colored talisman and a jade hairpin. "
Ning Shu was already awake. She quickly put on her clothes with the help of Forsythia.
The sun was already out of the clouds. The first ray of light shone through the window lattice onto her jade-like face. Ning Shu continued Zi Gui's unfinished words and continued, "That jade hairpin, is it mine?"
Zi Gui gritted his teeth. "Yes. Young Miss, the Yun residence has already taken the pouch to the capital to report to the officials and have someone come to pick you up. This matter quickly reached the ears of the Heavens. I have just reported it to the Master. The Master ordered me to immediately take you out of the city and hide in a manor outside the city. He would deal with this matter. Young Miss, let us leave quickly. "The current Emperor hated witchcraft the most. He had ordered many times that if anyone practiced witchcraft, they would be beheaded without mercy.
Forsythia was shocked and terrified. She knew the severity of the matter and hurriedly started to pack up the important things. However, she was interrupted by Ning Shu.
She lowered her thick black eyelashes and pondered deeply for only a moment. Countless thoughts had already spun in her mind. She then raised her eyes and said calmly, "Let us leave, but not outside the city. We will go to another place!"
"Where is Lady Ning? His Majesty has decreed to bring her to the Supreme Court for trial! "
The morning bell of the Thousand Buddha Temple on the outskirts of the city had just rung, waking up the bustling city of the capital. The gates of the High Duke's Public House were firmly blocked by officials from the capital. The governor of the capital, Wei Ze Cheng, personally led the troops and banged on the doors of the High Duke's Public House. The surrounding people who had heard the news quickly crowded the entire Vermillion Bird Street. Every pair of eyes was shining brightly.
Ning Deyuan personally opened the door. "Governor Wei, please excuse me for not coming out to meet you. What crime did my daughter commit?"
Wei Ze Cheng gave a perfunctory salute and said in a businesslike manner, "High Duke, you should have already heard what happened. Please do not make things difficult for us. This case has already been submitted to His Majesty overnight. His Majesty has approved it and ordered us to bring Lady Ning to justice. Please come out immediately and follow us to prison! "
His tone clearly indicated that he would not be kind today. Ning Deyuan did not beat around the bush and said directly, "My daughter felt unwell a few days ago. I have already sent someone to send her back to her hometown in Jiangnan. If there is any crime, I will bear it for her."
Wei Ze Cheng sneered. "High Duke, what you mean is that Lady Ning has already escaped? She must have received the news this morning. She can't have run far. Men, immediately send a message to the guards to capture the fugitive! The rest of you, follow me and invite the High Duke to the prison to catch up! "
