Chapter 579 Split up
After letting Li Jing leave early, Su Lingyue stood at the door with a nervous look on her face.
Seeing her hesitation, the guard asked tentatively, "Princess, would you like me to knock on the door?"
Seeing the guard beside him, Su Lingyue's expression changed and the hesitation in her heart disappeared.
"Go knock on the door and report...the Jiang residence has delivered some new medicinal herbs. I'll have Doctor Lu take a look."
Xiao Yu is ill, so he shouldn't think too much. It's better not to let him know about these things.
The guard followed Su Lingyue's instructions and knocked on the door to report.
Doctor Lu came out quickly and was surprised to see Su Lingyue outside the door. But when he saw Su Lingyue making a gesture to keep quiet, he said nothing and followed Su Lingyue into the Furong Pavilion Hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, Doctor Lu looked around and didn't see any herbs. He asked in confusion, "Yue girl, where are the herbs?"
Turning around and seeing the complicated expression on Su Lingyue's face, Doctor Lu noticed something and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
Su Lingyue did not dare to delay and told everything.
After hearing this, Doctor Lu was so frightened that his face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
"Uncle Lu!"
Su Lingyue hurried over to support him, took out a heart-protecting pill that had been prepared long ago and put it into Doctor Lu's mouth. Caiyi handed him some tea and helped him swallow it.
After taking the Heart Protection Pill, Su Lingyue patted Doctor Lu's back. Seeing the fear and pain on his face, Su Lingyue comforted him softly, "Uncle Lu, we are still unsure about Ling'er's injury. You treated my sword wound before. If there is still hope, I dare not entrust Ling'er to anyone else."
Doctor Lu came back to his senses, his eyes, which were marked by the passage of time, gradually became clear as he looked at Su Lingyue.
Su Lingyue nodded at him, "The carriage and medicine box are ready, we can set off at any time."
After saying that, he looked away, hiding the sadness in his eyes.
There was one thing she didn't say. If Ling'er couldn't be saved, maybe... Uncle Lu could rush over and see her for the last time.
Doctor Lu didn't hesitate any longer. He supported himself on Su Lingyue's arm, stood up, and walked out quickly.
At the side door, Caidie and Laifu were already waiting.
After Doctor Lu got on the carriage, they set off for Qingshi Temple outside the city without wasting a moment.

Jiang Siqi was on patrol with his men when he saw Yan Qing riding a horse from afar and immediately went to meet him.
"What's wrong, Brother Yan?"
The neighing sound echoed throughout the long street. Without waiting for the horse to stop, Yan Qing jumped off the horse and pulled Jiang Siqi away.
Jiang Siqi broke free from Yan Qing's hand and asked in confusion, "What happened? I'm still on duty and can't leave casually."
"Something happened at your house, come with me!"
Jiang Siqi's face froze. Without caring about anything else, he ordered his men to ask for leave from Commander Wang Bing on his behalf, and then immediately got on Jiang Siqi's horse.
On the way back to the Jiang Mansion, Yan Qing briefly told Jiang Siqi the details of the matter, and Su Lingyue also told him what to do.
When the horse stopped at the side door of Jiang's house, Jiang Siqi's eyes were already red, and he looked like he wanted to eat someone, and his fists were clenched and creaking.
Seeing him turn around and walk out, Yan Qing grabbed his shoulder and advised, "Brother Jiang, don't be impulsive. I know you're very angry now, but the most urgent thing now is to find Madam Jiang and deal with the rest of the matter. I've already sent someone to notify Lord Jiang and Young Master Jiang."
Although Jiang Siqi really wanted to kill the two old thieves Su Heng and Zheng Zixu, Yan Qing was right. Acting impulsively now would not solve any problems.
The two entered the hall and waited anxiously for Jiang Fu and Jiang Siyuan. They didn't sit down, but just walked back and forth in the hall.
When Wang heard that Jiang Siqi had returned, she hurried to the front hall. "My uncle is on duty today, why are you back?"
Before Jiang Siqi could explain, Jiang Fu and Jiang Siyuan hurried back from outside the hall.
When everyone was present, Yan Qing briefly recounted the events and also conveyed Su Lingyue's thoughts to them.
"The princess means that Lord Jiang should go to Dali, and the eldest son should go to Jingzhao Prefecture to explain the pros and cons clearly, so as not to make it public and damage the reputation of Madam Jiang and Miss Jiang."
Wang Shi, standing by, turned pale with fear and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, she was supported by a maid. "Yan Er was rescued by someone from the palace. Is your mother-in-law in danger?"
Although Mrs. Jiang looked down on Wang's background at first, since she married into the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang has been training her as a daughter-in-law. After having a child, Mrs. Jiang treated her even better.
From the bottom of her heart, Wang was grateful to her mother-in-law and was really worried about her safety.
Yan Qing said, "That shouldn't happen. They're using Madam Jiang to threaten Miss Jiang, so they shouldn't put Madam Jiang in danger. And Zheng Chengrui's goal is to marry into the Jiang family, so he shouldn't do anything to his future mother-in-law."
After saying this, he thought of Yun Ting's letter and frowned worriedly, "It's just that Miss Ling Ling was stabbed by the kidnappers. I don't know how she is doing."
"What did you say?!"
Jiang Siqi pulled Yan Qing's arm and stared at him, trying to confirm what he had just said.
Jiang Fu thought of his savior and his heart tightened. He asked hurriedly, "How did Miss Ling get hurt? Is it serious?"
Yan Qing was a little confused, as Yun Ting's letter only gave a general idea.
"I heard that she wanted to go with the kidnappers in Miss Jiang's place, but the kidnappers saw Miss Jiang's portrait and, in a fit of rage, stabbed her with a sword in order to intimidate her. I heard that when Miss Jiang was taken away, Ling Ling collapsed at the foot of Qingshi Temple."
"But the princess has already asked Uncle Lu to go."
Before Jiang Si heard the last sentence, he rushed out without saying a word.
Seeing this, Jiang Siyuan wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Jiang Fu.
"Let him go! Reasonably and emotionally, we should all go." He then instructed Wang, who was standing beside him, "Take my letter and ask Imperial Physician He to come to the foot of Qingshi Temple to help save the man. Bring along the best medicine in the mansion."
"Yes, father." Wang responded respectfully and immediately went out to arrange various matters.
After some discussion, Jiang Fu and Jiang Siyuan also set out to look for the Dali Temple Minister and the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor respectively.

As soon as Doctor Lu's carriage arrived at the city gate, he saw the soldiers guarding the city checking another carriage. Lai Fu, who was driving the carriage, could tell at a glance that the carriage belonged to the Jiang Mansion, and immediately told Doctor Lu and Caidie what he had seen.
The Jiang Mansion’s carriage!
When Doctor Lu heard this, he immediately ordered Lai Fu, "Go and see who is in the carriage."
Lai Fu jumped off the carriage and came to the side and asked, "I am from Prince Su's Mansion. May I ask which master of the Jiang Mansion is in the carriage?"
When the nanny driving the carriage heard that it was someone from Prince Su's mansion, she was so excited that she almost cried.
"That's Miss Ling in the car! Take her to see a doctor!"
In the carriage, when Li Jing heard that it was Lai Fu, she knew that Doctor Lu must be in a nearby carriage and hurriedly urged, "Let Uncle Lu come over!"
Doctor Lu was lifting the curtain to see what was going on. When he heard that the carriage belonged to his granddaughter, he ignored everything and staggered out of the carriage with his medicine box, then ran towards the Jiang family's carriage in two steps.
When the carriage curtain was opened, Doctor Lu saw Ling Ling lying in the carriage. Her face was pale, without a trace of blood, and her emerald green dress had turned crimson.
"Little Ling'er..."
Doctor Lu spoke tremblingly, his eyes instantly reddened, and he almost fell down without holding on to the carriage frame. Lai Fu supported him from behind and helped him stand steady.
Seeing him like this, Li Jing said in a deep voice, "Uncle Lu, she's still breathing. If you delay any longer, she'll be dead!"
As soon as he said this, Doctor Lu forced himself to stand firmly, climbed onto the carriage, and took Ling Ling's pulse to confirm that there was still a weak pulse. Only then did he stop trembling and immediately took out a heart-protecting pill from the medicine box and gave it to Ling Ling to take.
Ling Ling's wound needed to be sutured, so she had to return home for treatment.
Everyone did not dare to delay and immediately drove back to the palace.
Jiang Siqi only had Ling Ling covered in blood in his mind, and did not see their carriage, so he went straight out of the city.
