attendant pointed in a direction, "San Ye's yard is over there, but …"

Before he could finish, Gu Jinzhu ran over to him without a care. attendant shook his head and said, "I'm not done yet. San Ye has a VIP today. Even if you go, you won't be able to enter."

Gu Jinzhu obviously didn't hear his words. She ran towards the direction he pointed and asked a few more questions. It was as if she had walked in a big circle and stood in front of a yard.

There was a wide stone courtyard in the courtyard, and the surroundings were filled with locust trees and oleanders. However, she did not have the time to take a closer look, and just as she was about to enter, a sword with cold light overflowing its way horizontally in front of her.

"Who dares to trespass into the Jingxuan House?" A black-clothed soldier stood in front of her with a cold expression.

Gu Jinzhu was startled and quickly took a step back. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm the Gu family's eldest daughter, Gu Jinzhu. I have something to ask of Third Uncle."

The soldier said coldly, "Master is currently entertaining guests. Since you are not free today, please go back, Eldest Miss."

Gu Jinzhu did not expect to be rejected so quickly. Anxiety appeared on her face. How could she go back just like that, when she didn't know whether Gu Yurong was dead or alive?

She said anxiously, "Officer, I really have something that I need to see Third Uncle about, can you help me inform him?"

The soldier looked at her in surprise. Usually, when girls and women saw them, they would be scared to death, not to mention daring to look for her. This young miss looked weak and delicate, but had some guts to show on her face.

His face turned colder as he shouted, "I've already said that Master is currently entertaining guests. If you continue pestering me, don't blame me for being impolite!"

He raised his sword and slashed across. A cold light flickered on its surface and it was suffused with a frightening chill.

Gu Jinzhu was truly anxious. She suddenly took a step forward and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, this is Jinzhu. Jinzhu has a request, please meet Third Uncle."

The girl's clear voice directly transmitted inside. The soldier's expression changed and he angrily snorted, "Impudent!" Taking a step forward, the sword closed in.

The cold of the sword seemed to be stabbing at the skin of her neck, but Gu Jinzhu steeled her heart. She simply closed her eyes and shouted, ignoring everything else, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, this is Jinzhu!"

The door between the pavilions opened, and a sound like the colliding of a spring of ice rang out. It carried a trace of urgency. "Stop!"

The soldier was stunned. A white shadow leaped into the air and landed right next to Gu Jinzhu, taking her away from the sword. With a wave of his sleeve, the soldier was sent flying and crashed into the wall behind him.

"Go to the military to receive your own punishment. Forty staff!" His voice was cold and filled with irrepressible anger.

The soldier struggled to stand up, but didn't even dare to make a sound. "Yes!" He quickly retreated.

Gu Yiqing looked at Gu Jinzhu and saw that her hair was in disarray and her hands were still stained with blood. His eyes narrowed slightly and his face immediately turned cold. "You're injured?"

"No, not me!" Gu Jinzhu saw him and finally relaxed after being tense for a long time. Tears started streaming down her face, and she didn't even realize that his hands were tightly wrapped around her waist as she anxiously said, "Third Uncle, quickly go and see, Yurong was hit on the head." "How is it?"

She was choked with sobs. From the beginning to the end, she had tried her best to remain calm, telling herself that nothing would happen to Rong. But now that she saw him, all the fear and worry in her heart rushed forth and she could no longer control her emotions.

Gu Yiqing patted her shoulder, called out attendant, and quickly went to invite Imperial Physician Liu out with his sticker. Afterwards, he brought Gu Jinzhu and headed straight for Green Bamboo Garden.

However, Gu Jinzhu didn't notice that a figure had appeared from the pavilion that he had just come from.

He wasn't tall, but his figure seemed slender. His face was curved like the moon, his delicate face like jade, white and delicate skin as delicate as the wind, and his red lips like Ling'er, revealing the wild teeth beneath. Although he wore men's clothes, one could tell with a single glance that this was a girl, and also an extremely beautiful girl.

She looked at the direction where Gu Yiqing disappeared. A hint of suspicion flashed across her eyes. She suddenly asked, "Qi Xuan, who is that girl?"

The soldier who had just been punished kneeled down on one knee, and said extremely respectfully, "Reporting to Princess, it's the First Miss of Gu Mansion, Gu Jinzhu."

"Jinzhu?" Nalan Mingyue looked in the direction that the two of them disappeared in, and a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes.

Gu Jinzhu walked too slowly, so Gu Yiqing simply carried her and flew into the air. She was shocked and unconsciously hugged his waist tightly.

The wind blew past her ears. She looked at the layers of green under her feet and felt as if she were flying through the air.

There were still some tears on her face. He turned around and sighed. "Don't be afraid."

She tightly wrapped her arms around her waist, and after a few jumps, she could actually see the courtyard of the Jade Bamboo Square.

Gu Jinzhu widened her eyes in shock. Just now, her legs were about to break from running here, and she felt like she had circled around the entire Gu Mansion. She didn't expect it to be so close.

It was at the Backyard, not too far away from the Green Bamboo Aster. If she had known earlier, she would have directly come over from the lake's surface, which would have saved her a lot of time.

She was upset, but she couldn't care about anything else. She waited for Gu Yiqing to put her down before she rushed into the yard.

The girls had already carefully carried Gu Yurong into the room. Yun Xiang was still pressing down on her wounds, but upon seeing Gu Jinzhu return, she instantly heaved a sigh of relief. "Eldest Miss."

Then, he saw Gu Yiqing, who was behind her, and his face instantly lit up, "San Ye?"

When Gu Yiqing came over, the girls automatically opened up a gap for him. When he saw Gu Yurong's injury, he was slightly surprised. He quickly picked up one of her hands and placed two fingers on her wrist.

Gu Yurong's face was pale to the extreme. There were some bloodstains on it, and her eyes were tightly shut. Her small body looked completely lifeless.

Gu Jinzhu's heart was in turmoil. Her little sister, who was still alive and kicking a moment ago, was lying on the bed in the blink of an eye, not knowing if she was dead or alive.

She blamed herself in her heart. If she hadn't let Gu Bijin in, how could this have happened!?

Seeing Gu Yiqing's serious expression, her heart was at her throat as she was afraid that he would say the words that Rong had failed to save.

"Miss! Miss!" A burst of urgent shouts came from the door. Su Ju ran back, panting, dragging a woman who was over a hundred years old behind her.

The woman was so angry that she couldn't even breathe. She kept saying, "Aiyo, hey, Miss Su Ju, you better slow down. Don't let Fourth Lady do nothing. I'm tired to death first!"

The moment she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Gu Yiqing in front of her. Her mouth was wide open in shock and she didn't dare to make a single sound.
