Chapter 172 A Zi's Five Strike
Chapter 172 A Zi's Five Strike
Inside the prison
This was the first time Ah Zi was imprisoned. If she said she was not afraid, that would be a lie, as she was only sixteen years old.
She looked around. It was pitch black. Except for an oil lamp on the wooden table outside the cell, everything else was dark. The cell was very damp and filled with the smell of blood. She was a medical student and had a very sensitive nose.
Her heart was beating fast, and Ah Zi was so scared that she found a pile of grass in the corner to sit down and hugged her legs.
"I don't know if Sister Ayun will come to save me..." he said with a choked voice.
She couldn't understand why everyone said she was wrong and wanted to punish her when she had done nothing wrong.
I sat like this for a long time...
"I miss my master..." a weak voice came from the corner.
Jiuyi rushed to the Heavenly Prison and, relying on the token of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, successfully entered and went straight to A Zi.
Hearing footsteps, A Zi looked up and saw Jiuyi. She immediately stood up and ran towards the door.
The officer opened the prison door, and she rushed out and hugged Jiuyi, "Sister Jiuyi, you are here to pick me up..."
After saying this, his eyes were filled with tears.
Jiuyi's face turned bad. "If you act like this, you'll get into trouble sooner or later, and no one will save you then!"
Ah Zi felt wronged after being scolded, and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.
Jiuyi was soft-hearted and wiped her tears. "Forget it, let's go. His Highness is waiting for you."
A Zi nodded and followed Jiu Yi away.
It was already late at night when we arrived at the Princess's residence.
Feng Zhaoyun was in the bedroom, holding a blood-replenishing medicine in his hand, drinking it in small sips.
Jiuyi brought A Zi in and dismissed the maid.
When Ah Zi saw Feng Zhaoyun, she immediately rushed over, knelt down and hugged her legs. In an instant, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
Feng Zhaoyun gently touched her head and asked, "Did they beat you?"
She felt even more upset when she heard Sister Ayun's first words, which were not reproach but concern. "No... Sister Ayun, it was Jiang Ruoyue who provoked me first. I couldn't help it and hit her. I didn't use too much force."
Feng Zhaoyun sighed, "Azi, if you want to survive in the world outside the valley, you must never act rashly again. Do you understand?"
Ah Zi raised her watery eyes and sniffed, "Ah Zi knows. I haven't forgotten the task Sister A Yun gave me. Before I attacked her, I took advantage of her unpreparedness and put poison in the Second Princess' cup. The maid brought it to her. I saw her drink it with my own eyes. She will definitely have an attack tonight."
Feng Zhaoyun frowned, "So fast?"
Ah Zi nodded.
Oh no, A Zi’s identity has been exposed. If the poison breaks out tonight and the imperial physician cannot cure her, A Zi will definitely be summoned.
Thinking of this, Feng Zhaoyun looked at Jiuyi and said, "Jiuyi, quickly go and get the executioner from the palace."
Jiuyi clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
When Jiuyi brought the executioner late at night, he heard wailing as soon as he entered the main hall.
Ah Zi was lying on the bench, covered in blood. After being hit twice, she fainted...
The housekeeper stepped forward and reported to Jiuyi, "General Jiu, by order of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the fifty lashes have been administered, but Miss A Zi has fainted."
Jiuyi turned to the executioner and said, "Her Highness was furious when she learned of Ah Zi's behavior today, so she ordered Ah Zi to be taken out and beaten immediately. Please come forward and check, eunuch, the fifty lashes have been completed."
The executioner, the eunuch, quickly bowed to Jiuyi and said, "I will go check it out right away."
So he walked forward and walked around A Zi. Seeing the blood on A Zi's back, he squatted down again and reached out to look at A Zi's eyelids.
Then he stood up and walked towards Jiuyi, "It is true that he fainted because he couldn't bear it. Now that the punishment is over, if Your Majesty asks, I will report the truth."
Jiuyi, "Thank you for your help."
Then he stuffed a silver ingot into the eunuch's pocket and sent him away.
After everyone left, the housekeeper ordered someone to help A Zi back to her room.
Just as several maids were about to step forward, someone rushed in from outside the mansion gate.
The person who came was the Second Princess's personal bodyguard.
The guard stepped forward with an anxious look on his face. "Is Ah Zi here? I'm the Second Prince's man. The Second Prince has been poisoned. We need to ask the disciple of the Divine Doctor Qing Mu to come and take a look."
The housekeeper glanced at Jiuyi and said, "Azi made a mistake today and was spanked fifty times by Her Royal Highness the Princess. She is now unconscious."
Then he pointed at Ah Zi who was lying there.
The Second Princess's guard stepped forward and took a look. It was Ah Zi. "It's over... How could this happen?"
Jiuyi clasped his fists and said, "I'm truly sorry. We didn't know the Second Prince was poisoned. Otherwise, for his sake, we could have delayed the execution. The Crown Princess was furious and ordered her to be beaten shortly after returning. The palace executioner was present to inspect the situation, so it wasn't a fabrication."
The Second Princess's guard looked panicked and turned around and ran out of the Princess's Mansion without saying a word.
The maids carried A Zi into the room. After they left, A Zi sat up and touched her butt.
Jiuyi pushed the door open and walked in.
Ah Zi, "Sister Jiuyi, I was spanked twice, it really hurts."
Jiuyi said, "Hurry up and change your clothes. You'll be staying in the room for the next few days. Don't let anyone notice anything."
Ah Zi sighed, "I know..."
This Feng Yiran poison is colorless and odorless, personally concocted by Ah Zi. It disrupts the pulse, temporarily rendering it impossible to detect. Initially, the victim will vomit blood, then become dizzy, unable to move their limbs, and finally fall into a coma, which is enough to last for several days.
The Second Princess's residence was in an uproar. The imperial doctors, unable to find a pulse, knelt on the ground, at a loss for what to do.
At this time, Feng Yi was still leaning against the bed with her head covered. Seeing the guard come back, she hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
The guard shook his head and knelt down. "Azi was beaten with fifty sticks by Her Highness the Crown Princess. When I arrived, she was unconscious and unable to come."
After hearing this, Feng Yiran's headache got worse.
Sure enough, Feng Yiran was unable to move her limbs the next day, and fell into a coma the day after that.
The Second Princess's Mansion sent people to the Crown Princess's Mansion every day to inquire about A Zi's situation. They were really panicking.
After hearing this, the Empress had no choice but to write a letter, "Forget it, give this letter to the Queen of the Moon Country, and we will talk about it after the Second Princess wakes up."
Zhou Fuhai, "Yes."
