Mu Jingrui made a gesture to stop his men from continuing, and handed over several envelopes on the table.
"If something unexpected happens to me... I'm afraid you won't be able to escape either. Send this letter before you die, and someone will naturally avenge us."
After Mu Jingrui finished speaking, he immediately stood up, took the eagle's blood, and mixed it with water to clean the wound.
Everyone almost held their breath, waiting for the reaction of Mu Jingrui's wound. Time passed little by little, and it became particularly difficult.
However, the pain that originally occurred every hour did not recur.
Four hours later, Mu Jingrui's wound had faded away from the purple-black color and returned to normal.
Mu Jingrui was finally relieved and asked his subordinates to detoxify.
Two days later, all the people who were poisoned had recovered, and the wounds scratched by the bat on Zheng Zhixing's body had also healed, but he was still unconscious.
Mu Jingrui felt that it had something to do with him being scratched by the Holy Son.
He led his troops back to the city and planned to let the military doctor diagnose again.
"Ning'er..."
Shangguan Wan Ning was sitting listlessly in the garden, and was startled when she heard a familiar voice.
She turned around and saw Mu Jingrui's tender eyes staring at her, and her heart felt ripples of sadness and excitement.
Mu Jingrui stepped forward, reached out and hugged Shangguan Wan Ning into his arms.
He gently rubbed her face with his fingers and said softly: "I'm back."
Shangguan Wan Ning pressed her face against Mu Jingrui's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and her body trembled slightly.
"You are finally back..."
"I made you worry," Mu Jingrui pulled Shangguan Wanning out of his arms and chuckled, "I won't do it again."
Shangguan Wan Ning secretly lamented that Mu Jingrui would have to fight many more battles in the future before he could become the King of Zhennan later. How could she not be worried?
"By the way, where is Zhixing?"
"He..." Mu Jingrui's expression changed slightly, and he decided to tell the truth. "His situation is a bit special..."
"Take me to see him."
Mu Jingrui nodded and took Shangguan Wanning's hand to Zheng Zhixing's room.
At this time, the two military doctors and Sun Jinyao were both there, and the three of them seemed to be discussing something.
Shangguan Wanning walked to Zheng Zhixing's bed and took a closer look. She also took his pulse and found that everything was normal.
"He seems...asleep." Sun Jinyao walked to Shangguan Wanning's side and said, "The military doctor and I have diagnosed him just now and found nothing hidden. The wound on his chest is also slowly healing."
"Then why can't he wake up?" Shangguan Wan Ning was very anxious and restless.
Sun Jinyao paused and shook his head. "The best way now is to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Maybe the old monster can save him."
"I have given the order to leave tomorrow." Mu Jingrui gently pressed Shangguan Wanning's shoulder to express comfort. "Don't worry too much, at least there is nothing wrong with his health."
Mu Jingrui felt very uncomfortable. If Zheng Zhixing hadn't blocked it for him, he would have been the one lying on the bed.
A group of people stayed by Zheng Zhixing's bed until night.
"Ning'er, go back and rest." Mu Jingrui advised distressedly.
"You go back first. You will leave for Beijing tomorrow. You must have a lot to do. I will stay with Zhixing."
Mu Jingrui knew that he could not persuade Shangguan Wan Ning, so he could only agree. After a few words of warning, he took Sun Jinyao and the two military doctors out.
In the dead of night, Shangguan Wan Ning leaned against Zheng Zhixing's bed, unconsciously feeling a little confused.
Vaguely, she felt something moving around her. She immediately opened her eyes and met Zheng Zhixing's dark eyes.
"Zhixing? Are you awake?" Shangguan Wanning was surprised and happy, "Do you know you scared me to death?"
Zheng Zhixing had already sat up. He looked around, his eyes a little confused, and finally his eyes settled on Shangguan Wan Ning.
"Zhixing, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Shangguan Wanning saw that Zheng Zhixing's expression was wrong, so she grabbed his wrist and felt his pulse.
The pulse is gentle and strong, just like a normal person.
She let out a long breath of relief.
"Do you know that you have been in coma for several days? I was so worried that something would happen to you. I didn't even know how to tell my second uncle and grandpa when I got home."
Seeing that Zheng Zhixing was still silent, Shangguan Wanning asked, "Are you hungry? I was just afraid that you would wake up in the middle of the night, so I asked the maid to prepare bird's nest porridge. I will go to the kitchen to get it for you now. Just wait for me."
"
Shangguan Wan Ning felt that her whole body was full of energy now. Zheng Zhixing was able to wake up, and her anxious heart was completely relieved.
She returned to the room with the bird's nest porridge. Just as she stepped into the room, a figure flashed past and strangled her neck.
The unexpected attack and pain caused Shangguan Wan Ning to drop the bowl on the ground. She struggled subconsciously and unexpectedly discovered that the person who choked her was Zheng Zhixing.
"Zhixing... let go..."
Shangguan Wan Ning was choked so hard that she couldn't breathe, and her consciousness and vision gradually began to blur.
"Let her go."
With a scolding, Zheng Zhixing was knocked back by a strong palm wind, and had no choice but to let go of Shangguan Wan Ning.
Shangguan Wan Ning coughed violently and breathed in fresh air.
She was protected in Mu Jingrui's arms, and she raised her head with difficulty to look at Zheng Zhixing.
"Zhixing...are you crazy? I am your cousin..."
Zheng Zhixing seemed to not understand her words at all, and slapped Mu Jingrui with his palm.
Mu Jingrui was surprised to find that Zheng Zhixing's internal strength improved rapidly.
Although he successfully avoided this palm, it still made his scalp numb.
He protected Shangguan Wan Ning with one hand, and fought with Zheng Zhixing with the other. The sound of fighting alerted the guards patrolling the government office.
When Zheng Zhixing saw it, he jumped over the wall and left.
"Zhixing..."
Shangguan Wan Ning chased after him for a few steps and watched helplessly as Zheng Zhixing's figure disappeared into the darkness.
She was anxious and angry, turned around and grabbed Mu Jingrui's arm, almost crying.
"How could Zhixing be like this? Go and help me chase him back."
"Don't worry, I'll go right away." Mu Jingrui signaled the guards to take care of Shangguan Wan Ning, and immediately used Qinggong to chase after him.
But throughout the night, there was no news from Zheng Zhixing.
Until noon the next day, people came to the government office one after another to complain.
Zheng Zhixing raped and humiliated three girls in one night, and killed all three families, a total of 72 people.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Shangguan Wan Ning feel dizzy.
"No, Zhi Xing has a pure nature, and he would not do such an unscrupulous thing." Shangguan Wan Ning couldn't accept it.
Mu Jingrui didn't want to believe it either.
He personally visited the crime scene and found that the murderer's murder method was very cruel.
These three households were all wealthy, and the local gentry jointly filed a complaint with the government office, demanding that the murderer be caught as soon as possible and punished severely.
