Chapter 239 Injury

 “How is Miss Kou doing?”

"Reporting to Your Highness, Miss Kou has woken up, but the scars are a bit deep and she was not treated in time..."

Princess Zhaoyang’s expression changed and she strode in.

Seeing the eldest princess Zhaoyang come in, Xin You, who was lying on the bed, struggled to get up: "I have seen His Highness -"

Princess Zhaoyang hurriedly held her down: "Don't be too polite at this time. How do you feel now?"

 The girl put on a weak smile with a pale face: "Much better."

 “Did Jin Linwei torture you?”

Xin You was silent for a moment and lowered his eyes slightly: "I was whipped twice."

“This Xiao Lengshi!” Princess Zhaoyang looked angry and stretched out her hand, “Where is the injury? I’ll take a look.”

Xin You declined: "It's better not to stain His Highness's eyes."

Xiao Lian wiped away tears at the side: "It's all on my arms and body, the skin and flesh are all split open..."

Although calling out Jin Linwei's torture to Miss Kou in front of others was due to Xin You's signal, Xiao Lian's sadness was genuine.

 Such a deep whip mark, the skin was torn and the flesh was torn, how painful it must have been for the girl at that time!

 Just thinking about it, Xiaolian was surrounded by huge panic.

 Miss Qingqing died so miserably, and now if something happens to her again, she doesn’t want to live anymore.

"Let me take a look." Princess Zhaoyang insisted on pulling up Xinyou's sleeve.

The girl's arm was as white as jade, with a shocking purple scar.

The anger in Princess Zhaoyang's eyes was almost solidified, and she clenched her fists hard.

 This is what the emperor promised her not to be rude to Miss Kou.

How could she believe such nonsense?

And Xiao Lengshi, where did he have the courage to do this? He is deceiving the emperor!

Princess Zhaoyang stood up suddenly: "Miss Kou is resting in peace at the Princess's residence. I will seek justice for you!"

Following Princess Zhaoyang’s instruction, the female doctor used the best ointment to treat Xin You’s wound. Although she tried to be as gentle as possible, Xin You was still sweating in pain and her face became even paler.

After the outsiders were gone, Xiaolian choked up and said, "The Jin Linwei who killed a thousand swords is so cruel."

 It was Mr. He who often came to the bookstore to read, which gave her the illusion that these people were as kind as Mr. He.

Mother Fang was also distressed and shed tears: "The girl is suffering. The doctor said that the wound should not be touched with water. The old slave can wipe the girl's body later."

Is Jinlinwei Prison a place for people to stay? The poor girl spent two nights there...

 The more Grandma Fang thought about it, the more distressed she became.

Xiaolian blurted out her refusal: "No need!"

Mother Fang looked at her in surprise: "Why don't you use it?"

Xiao Lian quickly glanced at Xin You and said hurriedly: "Let the girl have a good sleep first. Didn't the doctor say that adequate sleep is the most nourishing thing? By the way, there are many dietary taboos. Aunt Fang, please pay more attention. Be careful. After the girl has had enough sleep, I will wipe her body..."

Although Aunt Fang felt that Xiaolian talked too much, she didn’t think much about it and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Lian quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

 The difference between the girl's appearance and that of Qingqing girl can be said to be a change of growth, but the birthmark on her shoulder cannot be explained.

Xin You knew what Xiaolian was worried about, so she looked sleepy: "I'll take a nap first."

She closed her eyes, and in her mind she could see the cold and **** torture chamber for a while, and the simple and enthusiastic faces under the sun for a while. She didn't know when she fell asleep.

Kong Fu took his brother Kong Rui's hand and walked into the courtyard, and asked the maid who was guarding here: "I heard that Sister Kou is here, is it true?"

"yes."

"Then you go and spread the word and say that I came to see her." Not long after, Xiaolian walked out with the maid, and bowed to the brother and sister: "My maid has met Mr. Hou and Miss Kong."

Kong Fu raised his head slightly: "Are you Sister Kou's maid?"

"My maid, Xiaolian, is my girl's personal maid. The girl has just gone to bed, so I would like to thank the Marquis and Miss Kong on behalf of my girl."

 “How are you, Miss Kou?” It was Kong Rui who spoke this time.

Xiao Lian hesitated for a moment and did not sugarcoat it: "It's not good. The wounds from the torture are a bit deep and the person is very weak..."

As he spoke, the little maid burst into tears.

The girl must have a reason for wanting her torture to be exposed to others.

Kong Rui had an angry look in his eyes.

Kong Fu’s eyes widened: “Being tortured? Brother, why is Sister Kou being tortured?”

Kong Rui pursed his thin lips slightly, not knowing how to answer the younger sister's question.

Kong Fu was obsessed with this question: "Sister Kou is so good, why would anyone torture her? Did Sister Kou break the law?"

 “Miss Kou has not broken the law.” Kong Rui said to his sister warmly.

The little girl’s face wrinkled: “That’s the bad guy who hurt Sister Kou. Brother, I’m going to tell my uncle and let him punish this kind of bad guy!”

　　Kong Rui stroked the top of his sister's head: "My mother has already entered the palace."

 “Brother, I also want to go to the palace.”

Kong Rui subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw Xiaolian whose eyes were red from crying, his words changed: "Okay, brother will take you into the palace."

 There are some things that are difficult for adults to say, but it’s okay for my sister to say them.

Miss Kou saved her younger sister. The eldest princess’s mansion’s gratitude to Miss Kou cannot just stop at buying a few books.

The eldest princess's palace is not far from the imperial city, and the eldest princess Zhaoyang quickly arrived at the palace.

“Why is the imperial sister so angry?” Emperor Xingyuan asked in surprise.

Although his sister is straight-tempered, she is not young after all, and she is the eldest princess, so she rarely shows anger.

 “Miss Kou came out of Jinlin Guard today.”

 Hearing Princess Zhaoyang mention Miss Kou, Emperor Xingyuan became even more confused.

Shouldn’t the imperial sister be happy when Miss Kou comes out?

"What did the emperor say? Don't let those people be rude to Miss Kou! As a result, Miss Kou was beaten to pieces with a barbed whip. Not to mention how much she suffered, she might be a younger girl. There are going to be scars on my body!" Princess Zhaoyang became angrier as she spoke.

Emperor Xingyuan's face darkened: "Is this true?"

Princess Zhaoyang sneered: "I saw it with my own eyes, how could I still lie to the emperor? But the emperor, with his promise before, turned around and used torture on Miss Kou, making me feel ashamed in front of Miss Kou!"

"These self-assertive bastards!" Emperor Xingyuan couldn't keep it off his face and ordered Sun Yan in a cold voice, "Invite Xiao Lengshi to enter the palace. Wait, ask Feng Nian, the commander of the Jinlin Guards, to come to the palace too!"

By the time the two of them entered the palace, brother Kong Rui and his sister arrived first.

"Fu'er is here." Emperor Xingyuan treated Kong Rui, his nephew, fairly well, but he treated his only niece better than the other princesses in the palace.

Kong Fu did not have the fear of others in front of the emperor, and his little face bulged with displeasure: "Uncle, a bad person injured Sister Kou, you must punish the evil person severely!"

Emperor Xingyuan couldn't help but look at Princess Zhaoyang, feeling a little worried: "Is Miss Kou's condition serious?"

Princess Zhaoyang snorted coldly.

Kong Fu nodded sharply: "It's very serious, I haven't woken up yet!"

At this time, the chamberlain came in to report that Feng and Xiao had arrived.
