As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 238 Awake
Xie Zhaozhao ordered Hongxiu and Lei Xing to keep an eye on the situation outside.

After returning to Wangyue Tower, I felt no sleepiness and recalled everything I saw at the scene of Chen Zhiyuan's murder.

The weapon that killed Chen Zhiyuan was the Miao Dao, and the Miao Dao was only used by people in a few states in the southwest of Daqin.

On the surface, it seems to have something to do with Southwest.

King Fu's fiefdom was close to the southwest and is still in the capital.

It's just that King Fu is usually too quiet and uncontested, and he doesn't seem like someone who can commit such a big thing.

There are only a handful of people in the Great Qin court who have the guts to do this and have a quarrel with the Chen family.

Liang Wang must have borne the brunt.

But at this juncture, would King Liang dig his own grave?

Xie Zhaozhao stood at the window on the second floor, looking at the disk-like moon in the sky, his expression gradually becoming complicated.

……

In the next few days, there was a trembling wind in Beijing.

There were almost no people on the streets, and many shops were closed.

Every house and government is closed.

The people are panicked.

Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment jointly handled the case to track down the assassin in black that night. The [-] Imperial Guards in the capital and Yunqi's Xuanjia Army stationed in the Sanshili Mountain on the outskirts of the city also cooperated with each other to strengthen security.

More troops were patrolling the city to ensure safety.

Xie Zhaozhao knew that Yun Qi was very busy, so he did not bother him, but looked after Chen Shulan with the doctor.

Chen Shulan was in a coma for three days and did not wake up.

Her maid did wake up, but she was frightened and couldn't say anything even though she kept crying.

Naturally, Xie Zhaozhao couldn't ask any questions, so he had to ask someone to take good care of him.

On the fourth day, Xie Zhaozhao got up early and was practicing swordplay in the courtyard. Hongxiu walked in quickly and said, "Miss, Miss Chen is awake!"

"really?"

Xie Zhaozhao was overjoyed and immediately sheathed his sword and headed all the way to Haitangju.

As soon as people arrived outside Haitang Residence, they heard a series of screams coming from inside, as well as the panicked voices of the maids and nuns.

Xie Zhaozhao paused.

Not far away, Xie Changyuan also strode over: "Why don't you go in -"

Before he finished speaking, another woman's shrill scream came from inside.

The middle-aged woman quickly shouted: "We won't go, we won't go, miss, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changyuan looked at each other and entered the courtyard together.

The doctor and two maids were standing in the corridor, looking sweaty and embarrassed.

The lady in charge of Haitang Residence exited the house and slowly closed the door.

When everyone saw their brother and sister coming, they hurriedly saluted together.

Xie Zhaozhao asked: "What's going on?"

"Go back, Miss." The woman in charge wiped the sweat from her forehead before saying, "Miss Chen is awake, but she won't let anyone get close to her. As long as they get closer to her, she will yell."

"Look at my hands and face..." The mother-in-law showed the scratches on the back of her hands and cheeks. "Originally, I wanted to grab her and show her to the doctor, but who knew it would end up like this."

"So that's it. Thank you for your hard work, grandma." Xie Zhaozhao called Hong Xiu: "Take grandma to apply some medicine so as not to leave any scars."

"Yes."

Hong Xiu stepped forward to support her.

The grandma quickly said she didn't dare and left all the way.

Xie Changyuan opened the door and saw that things in the house were smashed all over the floor. It was a mess.

Xie Zhaozhao just stepped in with the hem of her skirt in hand, when something flew towards her face.

Xie Zhaozhao dodged.

Xie Changyuan, who was walking behind, couldn't avoid it and caught it, but it was an embroidered shoe.

Xie Changyuan frowned for a moment, but didn't say anything he wanted to say.Xie Zhaozhao slowly walked to the bed.

Chen Shulan was on the bed wearing only a moon-white middle coat, with long hair disheveled. She looked at Xie Zhaozhao in horror, trying to find something to throw and drive Xie Zhaozhao away.

But everything was thrown away by her, and there was nothing to find.

Chen Shulan stared at Xie Zhaozhao warily and kept shrinking to the corner of the bed.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Chen." Xie Zhaozhao stopped five steps away from the bed and softened his voice: "No one will hurt you now. You can rest assured that it is very safe here."

Chen Shulan didn't seem to understand, she still shrank at the foot of the bed and couldn't help trembling, her eyes looking at Xie Zhaozhao guarded with fear.

She was terrified.

Xie Changyuan, who was standing behind Xie Zhaozhao, frowned: "Why did she become like this? What should I do!"

Not to mention asking about something, he didn't let anyone get close to him at all.

Xie Zhaozhao took a deep breath, took off the earrings, broke off the beads with a click and threw them towards Chen Shulan.

The beads hit Chen Shulan's acupuncture points accurately.

Chen Shulan fell softly on the bed.

Xie Changyuan "..."

When Xie Zhaozhao stepped forward quickly, he casually pulled the quilt on the ground to cover Chen Shulan, sat on the edge of the bed and pinched her wrist pulse.

Xie Changyuan took a look and called in the doctor and maid who were standing in the corridor.

The maid glanced towards the bed and quickly cleaned up the mess on the floor.

The doctor came to the bedside.

After checking the pulse, Xie Zhaozhao stepped aside and the doctor quickly knelt down on his feet to check.

"There's nothing wrong with her pulse -" Xie Zhaozhao frowned, "I'm afraid she's so crazy now because she's frightened."

"Indeed." The doctor also said, "It's similar to that of the maid, but a little more serious."

Xie Changyuan asked: "Can it be cured?"

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head: "I can't."

The doctor frowned and said, "Even the old man can't do it."

The room became quiet, except for the rustle of the maid sweeping things.

"In this case, it is basically hopeless to ask her about the assassin?" Xie Changyuan frowned, "I thought I could make a breakthrough here..."

"Let's do this." Xie Zhaozhao thought for a while, "I'll ask Mr. Lu to come over and see if he can do anything."

Xie Changyuan nodded: "That's fine."

……

Although there was a turmoil in Beijing nowadays, Lu Jingrong seemed not to be affected in any way, and he went in and out of the palace as usual to treat illnesses and save people.

I also go to the East Palace every two days to ask for peace of mind for the prince and the concubines of the East Palace.

When he met Xie Zhaozhao, he even asked about the settlement situation in the house.

"It's up to us to take care of it." Xie Zhaozhao said warmly: "It will be fine in early February at the most. Don't worry, sir."

"That's good."

Lu Jingrong nodded, "If you come to me and ask me about anything related to medical practice, tell me."

"Well, it's like this." Xie Zhaozhao was a little surprised that he was so straight to the point, but it was comfortable to deal with such a straight-tempered person, and he didn't have to beat around the bush, "I have a patient in my house -"

"Let's go."

Lu Jingrong didn't wait for her to finish speaking and stepped outside, "I haven't eaten yet, please remember to help me prepare the meal."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled: "Of course!"

When she and Lu Jingrong arrived at Haitangju, Chen Shulan was still awake.

Lu Jingrong took a look and began to diagnose Chen Shulan's pulse, then checked Chen Shulan's eyeballs and the back of his head. Then he took out a golden needle and pricked Chen Shulan's head several times.

When everything was over, Lu Jingrong stood up and clapped his hands.

"How is it?" Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but ask: "The doctor and I checked her pulse. She is stimulated, but there is nothing we can do. Mister, maybe giving her an acupuncture can help her regain her consciousness?"
