Chapter 180 A Zhao
The case of Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong came to an end. People in Yanjing City were talking about it with relish, but there were also some people who were not moved and continued to do their daily work.

In the backyard of the Duke's Mansion, in the alchemy room, Situ Jiuyue walked out of the room, went to the small room next door, pushed the door and walked in.

There was only a bed and a chair in the hut. After Situ Jiuyue entered, she sat on the chair and looked at the person on the bed.

The person on the bed was the one Zhao Ke carried back a few days ago. He said he was brought back from the private prison in the princess's mansion. Ji Heng personally ordered to save the person. Of course, Situ Jiuyue saved this person not because of Ji Heng's order, but because the person was seriously injured. Anyone with ability will always have some quirks, and Situ Jiuyue is the same. She is not a doctor, but a poison queen. The more seriously injured the person is, the more interested she is in rescuing him. She uses her own method of fighting poison with poison, which others would retreat from. Maybe she just wants to see how much endurance people can have.

When this man was first sent here, he was covered in blood. The servants in the Duke's Mansion were good at planting flowers, were good at martial arts, and were handsome, but none of them could help Situ Jiuyue. Haitang came a while ago, who was diligent and smart, but was busy with the Xue family's case and lived in the Ye family. No one in the Duke's Mansion helped Situ Jiuyue. So when this man was sent here, Situ Jiuyue washed his body, wiped his body, took off his clothes, and cleaned his wounds all by herself.

Situ Jiuyue didn't think it was a big deal. In the eyes of doctors, men and women in the world are roughly divided into those with illness and those without illness. In Situ Jiuyue's eyes, there is only a difference between those who can be saved and those who cannot be saved. As for those who can be saved, there is a difference between those who are willing to save and those who are not willing to save. As for other things, such as the difference between men and women, Situ Jiuyue didn't care at all.

The young man lying on the bed was not asleep, but looked up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking. His whole body was pierced with Situ Jiuyue's silver needles, and he couldn't move at all. Situ Jiuyue knew that he could hear her, so she threatened him when she left, saying that if he moved, the silver needles would be misplaced, and he would probably die, so he should not blame others when the time came.

In fact, this was just a malicious prank. Even if the man moved, nothing would happen. But when Situ Jiuyue walked in, she knew that the man had not moved at all in the past night and hours.

This requires a lot of courage, because when acupuncture is performed, the medicinal properties will slowly evaporate, and as time goes by, it will become painful and itchy, unbearable. But this person endured it. He even smiled at Situ Jiuyue when he saw her come in.

Situ Jiuyue was stunned.

Fortunately, Princess Yongning did not treat this man as cruelly as she treated Jiang Youyao, digging out his eyes or destroying his face, so that this man's good looks were preserved. He was born very handsome, but his handsomeness was different from that of the servants in the Duke's Mansion. The people in the Duke's Mansion had all risen up through the blood sea. Even if he looked like an ordinary gardener, there was an indelible silence and cruelty in his bones. But this young man was like a crystal clear water crystal, with a kind of brightness and heroism in his bones. Even though he had fallen into this situation, which could be said to be very miserable, the smile he showed to Situ Jiuyue was still warm as if nothing had happened.

"What's so funny?" But Situ Jiuyue just said coldly: "You have become so miserable."

If Princess Yongning hated someone, she would throw him into the private prison and torture him severely. Looking at this man, he must have offended Princess Yongning badly. Although his face was still there, his martial arts skills were all gone. Situ Jiuyue checked him out. He should be young, only about seventeen or eighteen years old. His martial arts skills might have been very good, but his meridians were broken, and he would never be able to regain his martial arts skills in this life. His legs were the most seriously injured. Situ Jiuyue guessed that they might have used a heavy object to crush the bones of his legs below the knees, and then used medicine to repair the bones. After several times of this, his two legs would never be able to stand up in this life. Situ Jiuyue racked her brains for the methods she knew, but finally found with regret that there was no way to change this man's situation.

From then on, he was a useless person.

Judging from his appearance and his smiling face these days, this young man should be a man with an open mind and heroic spirit. But it is really sad that he has to live his life sitting in a chair in the future.

Situ Jiuyue lifted his clothes and pulled out her silver needles one by one. Her movements were not gentle, and even a little rough, but the boy blushed. Situ Jiuyue found it funny that every time she lifted the boy's clothes, he would blush.

He is such a simple person, Situ Jiuyue thought.

"Doctor...Doctor..." Just as I was thinking about it, the young man suddenly said.

Situ Jiuyue was startled: "Can you speak now?"

He nodded with difficulty.

Situ Jiuyue had discovered before that the boy was not given a mute drug, but that he could not help but scream out in pain when being tortured, until his voice became hoarse. Situ Jiuyue had been using medicine to treat him these past few days, thinking that he would need a few more days before he could speak, but he did not expect that he could speak today.

His voice was very hoarse and full of fatigue. He couldn't help showing a pained expression while speaking. It was obvious that speaking was very strenuous for him. However, he tried his best to keep the smile on his face and said, "Thank you."

"Don't thank me," Situ Jiuyue said, "I can only save your life. I can't do anything else."

When Zhao Ke brought the boy here, he said that Ji Heng asked him to rescue him. Ji Heng probably wanted to put him in the guards of the Duke's Mansion. But his legs were broken and his martial arts skills were gone, so it was impossible for him to become a guard of the Duke's Mansion. Moreover, the Duke's Mansion did not keep useless people, and this boy would be expelled sooner or later.

Situ Jiuyue would not sympathize with others easily. She just felt that the smile on the boy's face might disappear after he learned about this, and she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

After all, that is a rare kind of purity.

"My...leg..." "It's hopeless." Situ Jiuyue said, "I can tell you for sure that I can't cure your leg. There is no one else in the world who can cure your leg."

The young man's eyes dimmed, and Situ Jiuyue saw clearly that there were tears in his eyes, but he still smiled and said to Situ Jiuyue with difficulty: "It's okay... Thank you very much, doctor..."

"Don't you think it's a pity?" Situ Jiuyue raised her eyebrows. "I thought you would be heartbroken. After all, you looked like you would have a bright future if this incident hadn't happened."

"As long as you are still alive... that's good enough."

"Is there something you're obsessed with accomplishing?" Situ Jiuyue asked, "You want to keep your life to do it?"

The young man was stunned. His clear eyes gradually darkened, revealing a mist that Situ Jiuyue could not understand. He hesitated to answer. Just when Situ Jiuyue thought he would not answer, the young man spoke and said, "Revenge...

The answer is as expected. In this world, if there is anything that makes people unwilling to die and want to live, it is to repay a favor or to seek revenge. But there are always fewer people who are grateful than those who are unfaithful, so there are always more people who seek revenge than those who repay a favor.

Situ Jiuyue pulled out the last silver needle and asked, "Princess Yongning?"

Since this young man was imprisoned in a private prison by Princess Yongning, his enemy is naturally Princess Yongning.

"good……"

"Then you don't have to worry." Situ Jiuyue smiled, and this smile made her cold face become delicate and lively. She said, "Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong are in prison. They will be executed in a few days. You don't have to take revenge, your enemies will go to hell too."

The young man was startled, as if he was suddenly struck by lightning. He was stunned for a long while before asking, "...How could this be?" He asked very anxiously, as if he was eager to find out what was going on.

Situ Jiuyue frowned. She was not used to talking so much to others. Just like when she was talking to Wen Renyao, she would chase him away after saying less than three sentences. But to the strange boy, Situ Jiuyue really said too much. She hurriedly said, "What else? It's just a life for a life. If you want to know, go and ask yourself when you get better!"

Situ Jiuyue packed up her medicine box and was about to leave the house. When she was about to reach the door, she suddenly remembered something. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

The young man was silent for a moment, then said softly, "My name is...A Zhao."

Ah Zhao, Situ Jiuyue repeated this name silently twice in her mind, thinking that since the young man only said his first name and refused to say his last name, he must have an extraordinary identity.

But why did she care about these things? He was just a stranger she met by chance.

……

Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong were thrown into the prison in the Ministry of Justice's Sky Prison.

Even the jailers seemed to disdain to look at them, and there were ghosts and wolves howling everywhere. When the former prisoners saw the new people coming in, they rushed to the iron bars and screamed loudly. Princess Yongning was startled and couldn't help screaming. Her scream seemed to please those people, and all kinds of malicious laughter rang out in the cell.

Princess Yongning was terrified. She recalled the dirty stories she had heard in the palace. Some female prisoners who were sent to prison would be bullied by the jailers and other prisoners, and their lives would be worse than those of animals. She leaned uneasily behind Shen Yurong, trying to find some peace of mind from her.

But Shen Yurong was not in the same cell with her. She was in the cell next to hers, and there was a fence between them. Princess Yongning had to pull Shen Yurong's clothes through the fence to prevent her from being separated from her.

Shen Yurong sat there stiffly, allowing Princess Yongning to do whatever she wanted.

Princess Yongning asked: "Shen Lang, what should we do now?"
