At the end of the first lunar month in Jinling, there was a late spring cold, which made everyone start to put on more clothes. Perhaps because of the cold wind, there were very few people taking to the streets today.
In the Imperial Academy, a burst of violent shouting made Luo Qingzhi and others suddenly realize that something was wrong.
Without any hesitation, Luo Qingzhi flew up to the eaves, choosing the fastest way to find the sound. When she found the place, the scene that greeted her eyes was Gao Zhen's clothes in messy clothes, standing with a bloody dagger in his hand.
In the corridor, Zhou Jin covered her private parts and screamed in pain.
Gao Zhen found Luo Qingzhi in the corridor. As if he had come back to his senses, he immediately released his clenched left hand, and the dagger that fell to the ground made a crisp sound.
The two people facing each other had shock in their eyes. Luo Qingzhi was the first to look away and glanced down at Zhou Jin, who was half lying on the ground. She leaned down and clicked on his acupuncture points to help stop the bleeding.
Qi Zhen, who did not know martial arts, arrived shortly after, panting heavily and appearing to be running.
"My God, Master Zhou, hurry up, hurry up, go ask the doctor."
After finishing important matters, Qi Zhen caught a glimpse of the dagger on the ground to the left of Gao Zhen, and immediately surmised, "It was you who injured Mr. Zhou. Come, report it to the official, and arrest him."
"Wait a minute." Luo Qingzhi said calmly: "Qi Siye, what you see may not be true, are you too arbitrary?"
With such a big commotion, the surrounding students had already gathered around. Qi Zhen changed his attitude and became upright, saying, "Does the princess want to protect the prisoner?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "The matter has not yet been investigated. How can the culprit speak out and how can he be protected?"
The two were still arguing, and the Master Jijiu, who had not appeared until now, appeared and said righteously, "Princess An Ning? Although your rank is higher than ours, you can't use your power for personal gain."
Luo Qingzhi smiled contemptuously, "I asked, why haven't I seen Lord Jijiu all this time? It turns out he is waiting for me here."
Seeing Luo Qingzhi's attitude, Yuan Jijiu continued: "Your Highness the Princess has made outstanding achievements, which we cannot compare with. However, in this Imperial College, lower officials have to protect every student."
Luo Qingzhi suddenly laughed, "Why, the one lying on the ground is your student, and the one standing here is no longer one?"
More and more students came to the crime scene looking for Xin'er. Luo Qingzhi looked around and said loudly: "Where's the doctor? Why hasn't he come yet?"
No one answered. Luo Qingzhi looked at Zhou Jin lying on the ground and made a quick decision, "Luo Chen, go find the doctor nearby."
Luo Chen left the Imperial College with a worried look on his face after receiving the order.
At this time, the scene was already surrounded by people. Luo Qingzhi walked towards Gao Zhen, not caring about the buzz around her.
She looked around at him and asked gently: "Did it hurt you?"
Gao Zhen shook his head dumbly, "No, Aluo, I..."
Feeling Gao Zhen's speechlessness, Luo Qingzhi asked in a low voice: "Is it you?"
Gao Zhen immediately shook his head, "No, I, I really am, me."
"Okay, I understand." Luo Qingzhi did not force an answer. She took off her cloak and put it on his body. She then took his hand and moved him behind her. "Don't be afraid. When you arrive,
Come behind me."
Luo Chen walked very quickly, and it only took him a cup of tea to summon the doctor. But the doctor who had gone to call before still hadn't arrived, so Luo Qingzhi understood that what happened today was not a coincidence.
The doctor called the people on the left and right, carried Zhou Jin back to the room, closed the door and treated her.
Luo Qingzhi said first: "Luo Chen, go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to report to the official."
Yuan Jijiu immediately said: "This matter should be reported to the Ministry of Punishment, why is it Jingzhao Mansion."
"Then, Lord Jijiu, it's up to you." Luo Qingzhi didn't stop her at all.
Yuan Jijiu naturally did not show weakness and sent someone to the Ministry of Punishment to file a case.
Luo Qingzhi turned around, patted the door, and asked: "Doctor, how is the situation?"
After waiting for a while, a voice came from inside, "Princess, the bleeding has stopped. There is nothing serious. The patient has passed out now."
"Yes, I understand." After hearing the answer, Luo Qingzhi lowered her eyebrows and turned to look at Gao Zhen. He was not sure how much he heard of what the doctor just said, but Gao Zhen squatted down silently and relaxed obviously.
Some of them said nothing.
The person who came faster than the Ministry of Justice and Jing Zhaoyin was Zhou Qi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who came from Emperor Wen
He seemed to have known the news in advance. As soon as he came into everyone's sight, he began to cry regardless of his image.
"My son, where is my son?"
Yuan Jijiu first held Zhou Qi's arm, with a sense of helplessness in his tone, "Zhou Shangshu, I'm very sorry. Student Zhou was actually hurt in the Imperial College."
"Who? Who hurt my son?" Zhou Qi was angry. Yuan Jijiu pointed his eyes at him, and Zhou Qi immediately turned his attention to Gao Zhen who was squatting in the corridor.
"It's you, you kid, who gave you the courage?" He said and was about to step forward to beat and scold him.
Luo Qingzhi stood in front again and said calmly: "Zhou Shangshu, the matter has not been investigated yet, please calm down first."
Gao Zhen, who was squatting behind him, raised his eyes and looked at the back in front of him. Just like ten years ago, he looked up at her like this when he was a child. Luo Qingzhi always stood in front of Gao Zhen, resisting everything.
Dangerous things.
"But we all saw it just now." A student said softly.
At this time, some more voices came, making the atmosphere at the scene even worse.
"Yes, we all saw it. It was Student Luo who hurt Student Zhou."
"The princess is still protecting Student Luo."
Hearing such words, Zhou Qi became even more angry and shouted loudly: "Princess An Ning, you really think it's you, Luo Qingzhi, who covers the capital with one hand."
At the same time, people from the Criminal Department and Jing Zhaoyin arrived one after another, and everyone who saw each other looked puzzled.
Luo Qingzhi looked at the person coming and said to Zhou Qi: "Master Shangshu, the government officials are here, why not leave it to them."
People from Jingzhao Mansion were the first to react. After the leader came forward to see Luo Qingzhi, he began to ask: "Princess, we have to take away the suspect."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, moved her body, and made room.
Gao Zhen looked up at Luo Qingzhi, "A Luo."
Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "It's okay. Just explain everything clearly. I'm here."
Gao Zhen stood up and walked towards Luo Qingzhi, while the people from the Punishment Department said: "Princess, the people from the Imperial College came to my Punishment Department to report the case."
Luo Qingzhi was calm and asked softly: "Then, may I ask, sir, what are the responsibilities of the Criminal Department?"
"Interrogating important court cases involving officials of rank six or above."
Before Luo Qingzhi could speak, Yuan Jijiu immediately said: "Why, the princess thinks that I, the Imperial College Jijiu, am not worthy of being a fourth-rank minister of the imperial court?"
"It's embarrassing, and it's not me who has the final say." Luo Qingzhi said lightly, looking at the person who was about to get angry again, she continued: "You are a fourth-grade person, but this case involves two students.
, it is not you, my lord, so the cases of the people in the capital will naturally be assigned to the Jingzhao Mansion."
Qi Zhen, who had been silent all this time, said: "What the princess said is true, so why not bother the people from Jingzhao Mansion to take her away."
Yuan Jijiu looked at Qi Zhen with a puzzled expression, but did not continue to refute.
Gao Zhen walked to Luo Qingzhi and asked in a low voice: "Aluo, do you believe me?"
Luo Qingzhi nodded without hesitation, "Of course."
Gao Zhen was taken away, Luo Qingzhi looked at Luo Chen, who nodded understandingly and followed.
The farce ended simply. Zhou Qi was still angry, staring at Luo Qingzhi and said: "Princess, I will report everything to your Majesty about today's matter."
Luo Qingzhi remained calm and said: "Of course, this is your right."
The people from the Criminal Department left slowly, and they seemed to feel like they were being tricked.
At this moment, Zhou Qi seemed to remember that his son's life or death was uncertain, and he slowly walked into the dormitory. Luo Qingzhi outside the door heard another wailing sound.
Yuan Jijiu also stepped forward at this time and said angrily: "What happened today will be reported to your majesty by our imperial eunuch."
Luo Qingzhi didn't answer, and walked straight past him. When she walked to Qi Zhen's side, she actually said, "Qi Siye, the matter has been settled, I will leave first."
She walked away, leaving behind a shocked Qi Zhen and an even more angry Yuan Jijiu.
Returning to the Princess's Mansion, Qin Shu finally returned after being out for a few days.
"There's something wrong with the Imperial College's sacrificial wine. Go check it out."
Qin Shu nodded and said: "Master, um, I found some information about Zhou Jing."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Well, you say."
After receiving Luo Qingzhi's reply, Qin Shu did not speak immediately. Instead, he felt embarrassed.
"What?" Luo Qingzhi was very puzzled. She had known Qin Shu for so long and had never seen her like this before.
After waiting for a while, Qin Shu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Luo Qingzhi, explaining: "This is a letter from Lord Qingshan to you."
Luo Qingzhi frowned, "You were out for so long because you went to Ningzhou to find Mr. Qingshan."
Qin Shu continued: "Because he got the news, Zhou Jing often went to Qingshan Jun, so I thought of asking."
Talking about Qingshan Jun and thinking about his identity, Luo Qingzhi also understood a little bit in her heart. After reading Qingshan Jun's letter, she also understood why Qin Shu could not speak.
"I understand. You go first to check the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine and find the doctor who sees him regularly. I want to know if he has ever been seriously ill." Luo Qingzhi ordered.
"yes."
Luo Qingzhi stared at Qingshan Jun's letter, her eyes gradually focused on the word "friend", and then thought about what happened in the Imperial College just now. Gao Zhen was so panicked, his coat was still messy, and he felt bad, and he actually wanted to
Rush directly into Jingzhao Mansion.
Luo Chen came back in time to stop all this.
"Master, I have informed Lord Jing Zhaoyin that this Lord is the most just."
After Luo Chen reported, he still didn't get an answer. He thought he had failed to do something well and asked, "Is there something inappropriate in the arrangement?"
"No." Luo Qingzhi asked, "Am I being a little cruel? I should have taken him home first."
"What did the master say? If you take it home, wouldn't it mean that you are protecting the second young master?" Luo Chen was very confused and thought about how his master could think like this.
"How is he?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"He?" Luo Chen asked back, "Second Young Master? It should be fine. Mr. Yang should be interrogating him overnight. Do you need me to go?"
"No need." Luo Qingzhi stopped her, "Master Yang is just and there is no need." This chapter has been completed!
