"I haven’t withheld any information. That Princess from Nanjiang was intentionally provoking . As for whether she wanted to kill her, I’m not sure!"
Xie Si was not a fool; on the contrary, he was very smart.
His analytical and observational skills were acknowledged by Ji Youzhi.
"If you haven’t hidden anything, then I’ll take over this matter. But if you deliberately conceal important information and the case cannot be solved, then you will deserve to die."
Upon hearing Ji Youzhi’s words, Xie Si quickly cupped his hands and assured, "Everything I said is true! Lord God Hunter, please believe !"
Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, Ji Youzhi nodded and then left with Xiaosuisui.
"Where are we going?"
Upon stepping out of the Celestial Prison, Xiaosuisui sniffed, her little brows furrowing slightly.
"Your Seventh Uncle is investigating the case. We’ve already questioned Xie Si, but we still need to go to the post station and personally ask the Nanjiang Princess about what happened, to see if her account differs from Xie Si’s!"
Ji Youzhi explained to Xiaosuisui as they walked towards the post station.
Xiaosuisui asked Ji Youzhi, "Seventh Uncle, where is the post station?"
Ji Youzhi pointed ahead and said, "Turn left up ahead, and continue walking for about a quarter of an hour. You’ll be there."
As soon as Ji Youzhi finished speaking, his expression changed, and his exclamation was heard, "Suisui, don’t Feifei...!"
The two jailers guarding the Celestial Prison’s Main Gate looked up at the sky, but saw nothing. "Divine Hunter Ji’s lightness skill has beco even more superb."
"Isn’t that so! He vanished in the blink of an eye!"
Xiaosuisui grabbed her Seventh Uncle, and with a single flight, landed at the entrance of the post station in the blink of an eye.
At the entrance of the post station, there were two to three tis more guards than usual on duty.
Upon seeing Ji Youzhi, the Captain imdiately stepped forward to greet him, "Lord God Hunter!"
The voice was familiar. When Xiaosuisui turned her head to look, she saw it was Long Wu, who served His Majesty, her adoptive father.
"Uncle Long Wu!"
"Princess!"
Long Wu felt quite helpless. He had told the Princess many tis not to call him "Uncle," but it seed to have no effect. Later, seeing that His Majesty didn’t reprimand her, he let her continue.
"Captain Long, I am under orders to investigate the assassination attempt on the Nanjiang Princess. I need to see the Nanjiang Princess to understand so details of the situation."
Long Wu gestured towards the interior of the post station.
"Divine Hunter, please co inside. However, even if you go in, you might not be able to see the Nanjiang Princess!"
Ji Youzhi was very puzzled by this and asked, "Why is that?"
Long Wu said with a worried expression, "The Nanjiang Princess is gravely injured. The scissors pierced her directly in the heart. It’s said that if the scissors are removed, she will undoubtedly bleed to death. But if the scissors aren’t removed, while she might live for now, she won’t last much longer."
Hearing Long Wu’s words, Ji Youzhi frowned and imdiately asked, "Has this matter been reported to His Majesty?"
Long Wu nodded. "It has been reported. His Majesty has already sent soone to summon the Second Young Master."
Ji Youzhi nodded. As long as Divine Physician Second Brother has been sent for, it should be fine. He then took Xiaosuisui and went inside.
「In the main suite of the post station.」
The Nanjiang Princess lay on the bed, her face pale, her expression agonized. Xie Pan’Er took a slice of hundred-year-old ginseng from the Palace Maid and placed it in the princess’s mouth.
"This ginseng slice can help you consolidate your vital Qi."
The Nanjiang Princess opened her mouth and held the ginseng slice in it.
Xie Pan’Er had co here, originally intending to ask her what exactly had happened. But now, seeing the Nanjiang Princess’s life hanging by a thread, she couldn’t bear to make her speak more, fearing it would aggravate the wound and cause her pain. Yet, with her elder brother trapped in jail, she was also desperate for an answer!
