Jian Yu didn't sleep very well. Her dreams were filled with scenes of Zhu Zheng dying and dripping with blood. When she woke up, her head was covered in sweat. Zhou Jinyan also happened to arrive in front of the villa.
"woke up?"
Zhou Jinyan half-crouched down, and Jian Yu got off his back. She immediately felt the coldness, and the warm heat disappeared instantly.
The two of them didn't say anything more. Zhou Jinyan stepped forward and knocked on the door. When the servant at the door saw that Princess Jing was back, he stepped forward happily and said: "The princess is back safely! Thank God!"
The maids in the courtyard rushed out when they heard the commotion, and then welcomed Jian Yu back to the room. They kept boiling water, waiting for the princess to take a hot bath, and the food was hot.
Jian Yu took a comfortable bath and applied medicine to the injuries on her ankles and soles. When she was preparing to eat, Hongmei and other servants came back. In order not to disturb Princess Jing, only two nuns and the steward came to return. When Princess Jing arrived, she felt relieved and returned to the house.
Under Hongmei's supervision, Jian Yu first drank a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold, and then started to eat.
"Secretary Rong is resting in Luofengyuan next door. Don't forget to ask the chef to deliver food tomorrow."
Today, Jian Yu remembers the other person's favor. She is confident that she will deal with the kidnappers to protect herself, but it will definitely take a lot of effort. She will not use the mechanism on her ring unless it is absolutely necessary.
The ring on her hand was found by Jian Yu in Prince Jing's private treasury. It contained poisonous needles and poison. She used it to save her life at critical moments, and she never left her body to take a shower without wearing it.
During this period, she would wear it first, and then put it back when Prince Jing came back. As Princess Jing, she could borrow it, right?
Jian Yu thought that she had to form her own relationship and find someone available as soon as possible!
Looking up, she saw Hongmei's expression was hesitant to speak, and she said, "Do you have something to say?"
"On the way back, I heard something about Manager Rong Er," Hongmei bit her lower lip and stopped talking, her eyes full of confusion.
Manager Rong Er had just saved his master and them, and now that he was the master, he said this, which seemed a bit like making trouble and unjustly accusing others, but the master should also know about this.
"Master, this servant thinks that Manager Rong Er is not a bad person, but they say that..."
"Hongmei, you have to trust my judgment."
Jian Yu's eyes were full of encouragement, and Hong Mei opened her mouth to tell what she had learned from other servants.
Why did the servant look like that when he mentioned Rong Er being in charge? There was a reason for everything.
After discovering something was wrong with the eight boys at the foot of the mountain, Steward Rong Er immediately called other servants and ordered the eight boys to be tied up when they didn't know what was going on.
Although I don't understand what he means, Manager Rong Er is the second-in-command of the palace. It is said that he may become the chief steward of the palace in the future. The servants in Zhuangzi naturally obey his orders, especially after Manager Rong Er ordered the arrest. Several people turned to run, they had a problem!
Two fists were unable to defeat four hands, and Zhu Zheng's men were all caught.
These people lived in bandits' strongholds and had very tough tempers. They refused to respond to all inquiries and kept saying that they were wronged. They were absolutely treacherous.
Seeing the passage of time, every second wasted for Princess Jing becomes more dangerous! The other servants also murmured in their hearts. The eight people arrested had been working in the villa for two or three years. Did Manager Rong Er make a mistake?
Then they saw Manager Rong Er take out a dagger and directly wipe the neck of one of them. The action was clean and neat, as if it was easier than killing a chicken.
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Manager Rong Er would kill people. The gangsters were also panicked. They thought that these were honest slaves who didn't dare to do anything. The same was true for Manager Rong Er. How could they act so harshly? !
Zhou Jinyan's action was not impulsive. First, he confirmed the identity of the bandit. The calluses on the tiger's mouth were sharpened with knives all year round. This was different from the calluses used for heavy farm work. Moreover, several people had tattoos and scars on their backs... All kinds of information revealed that these people were bandits and had not escaped, so it was not a pity to die.
When the fourth person was killed, the remaining gangsters couldn't stand it anymore. This second manager was the living king of hell! They recruited.
This manager Rong Er is really too shady! He doesn't give any pleasure in killing people, and the further they die, the more painful they become! The kidnappers' psychological defenses collapsed. One person said the others said so.
After telling them where they would meet, Zhou Jinyan hurried to the mountainside and rescued Jian Yu.
Zhou Jinyan used the military's meticulous tactics. It seemed that those who were marching and fighting were very gentle. But everyone in the villa had never seen such a world. They didn't dare to breathe. Some of the timid ones just peed. Pants.
Everyone was shocked and frightened by Manager Rong Er, a murderer who ended four lives without blinking an eye and used cruel methods!
Although it was to protect the Lord, they were still afraid!
The reason for Hongmei's hesitation was that Manager Rong Er did this for his master's benefit. If not, how could he have saved his master so quickly? Those bandits deserved to die! Hongmei, who had not seen the scene with her own eyes, was not too shocked, so she could not understand everyone's panic. She agreed with Rong Er's approach in taking care of the matter.
Thinking of Zhu Zhengxiao's expression of missing his master, she wished she could go back and make a few more cuts right now. If Manager Rong Er was late, who knew what would happen?
If she doesn't say these things, other people will tell her master later. Hongmei wants to say it but is afraid that her master will be alienated by the cruel methods of Manager Rong Er. Master is the most kind-hearted. What if he can't understand what Manager Rong Er does? Doesn't it become a complaint if she tells it?
With such worries, Hongmei looked at Jian Yu's expression nervously after speaking.
Jian Yu was slightly startled. She didn't expect that there would be such a period before Zhou Jinyan went up the mountain.
Everything Hongmei was thinking was reflected on her face. Jian Yu smiled and said, "Hongmei, I will not sympathize with those who want to harm me."
Hearing what her master said, Hongmei smiled. She was mainly afraid that if her master blamed Manager Rong Er for this, what would happen if Manager Rong Er didn't try his best to save her when this happened again in the future?
wrong! Bah bah bah! The master will never encounter this kind of thing again! Hongmei laughed innocently. In short, it’s good that the master is fine!
That night,
Jian Yu lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of Zhu Zheng's angry red eyes. In the end, she simply stayed up and went to the courtyard to stare at the stars in a daze.
She touched her forehead and smiled bitterly. She was so weak that she actually felt a little hot.
However, her mental state is not bad. In addition, she drank ginger soup and took a hot bath at night. If she takes one of the fitness pills prescribed by Dr. Luo tomorrow morning, she should be fine.
In the silence of the night, accompanied by the croaking of frogs and the hoots of owls, Jian Yu gathered up her cloak, took a long breath and murmured to herself: "Why don't you put a kitchen knife under the pillow to stop the shock?"
She was a little sleepy, but she was afraid of having nightmares if she fell asleep.

Jian Yu quickly looked towards the place where the sound came from, and a wooden sword the size of a thumb was thrown on the ground in front of her.
"Peach wood sword, to ward off evil spirits."
Zhou Jinyan was sitting there at some point on the wall. The dagger in his hand was shining with light, and the ground beside the wall was full of wooden debris. So she just heard the sound of leaves blowing in the wind and thought it was the other party whittling wood?
This man stayed up late at night carving mahogany swords?
Jian Yu picked up the sword on the ground and looked up. The person on the wall was gone. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the thing in her hand. Then she went back to the house and put the mahogany sword under her pillow before going to bed.
A dreamless night.
Early the next morning, officials came to the villa.
