The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"Lin Rong."

King Jin shouted.

Lin Rong shook off Lord Chen, glanced at him coldly, and immediately stepped forward with his men, "Where is Miss Qiu being held? How many people are there here?"

"Qingfeng, go and help." King Jin said again.

"Yes."

Qing Feng made a gesture, and the palace guards immediately followed, and some of them went into the room and searched it.

The torches were lit, illuminating the place.

When Qingfeng rushed into the cabin first, Yan'er was holding a small wooden bucket of smoking boiling water and was about to pour it on Miss Qiu.

Even from this distance, you can see the hot smoke.

Miss Qiu let out a hoarse and tearful scream.

Qing Feng didn't bother to look carefully, his body shot over as fast as lightning, grabbed the handle of the wooden barrel with his hand, and threw it out with force.

"what!"

The force caused Yan'er to fall down along with the barrel.

With a bang, the bucket hit the ground, hot water spilled all over the floor, and smoke rose up. Yan'er was scalded on the arm by the splashing hot water, and screamed again.

But before she could react, she was held down by the officers.

The others quickly glanced around to see if there was anyone else. The situation was under control in an instant.

Qing Feng also saw the girl tied to the table. He took a look and quickly took two steps back.

Lin Rong also saw it and stopped his men who were about to go over.

"Go and ask Miss Lu...and her maid to come over." He felt that Prince Jin probably wouldn't let him order Miss Lu around.

However, soon, Lu Zhaoling came over with Qingyin and Qingbao.

"Miss, please come and take a look. It's not convenient for us to go forward." Qing Feng retreated to her side and whispered, "I've checked that there's no one else in the room. You can clean up and come out later."

"Is it really Miss Qiu?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"I just took a quick look and couldn't recognize it. Please ask for clarification, young lady."

"None of you have met Miss Qiu?"

"I've seen her twice before, but I can't recognize her now."

Lin Rong had already asked his men to withdraw. He bowed to Lu Zhaoling and said, "Thank you for your help, Second Miss Lu."

The officer came out holding a cigarette.

Lu Zhaoling's eyes fell on Yan'er's face and he said with certainty, "This is Yan'er."

Lin Rong actually guessed the same thing, but he still needed to confirm it. Lu Zhaoling was convinced at a glance, which made him amazed.

"who are you?"

Yan'er also looked a little embarrassed at the moment, with several blisters on the back of her hands. She was being held by the officers and could not break free, but she looked at Lu Zhaoling with suspicion.

She subconsciously felt that Lu Zhaoling was not an ordinary girl.

Lu Zhaoling could even call out her name at once.

"You don't need to care who I am, but I heard that Sun's cousin Mo Qingqing treated you very well after marrying into the Liu family. She didn't treat you badly at all, right?"

When she heard Mo Qingqing's name, Yan'er's expression changed obviously, and her eyes became a little distracted. She didn't dare to stare at Lu Zhaoling so directly anymore.

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

"You know. You are a maid of the Liu family. You were originally with Master Liu II. Mo Qingqing married into the Liu family a few days ago. She saw you being punished by Master Liu II and threatened to sell you to a brothel. Mo Qingqing felt pity for you and asked Master Liu II for you. From then on, you became Mo Qingqing's maid."

Lu Zhaoling explained it very clearly. She heard it from Sun Yingying. Sun Yingying said that her cousin was an extremely kind-hearted woman. Originally in the Sun family, Madam Sun also arranged two smart maids for her. But before she married into the Liu family, she was unwilling to take those two maids with her.

Because the Sun family is a very nice family and treats the maids very kindly. The parents of the two maids are also in the Sun family. Mo Qingqing doesn't want to separate their relatives, and she doesn't know how the Liu family treats the maids.

Madam Sun had no choice but to buy a new maid for her, but after Mo Qingqing died of illness, the maid was sold by the Liu family and could not be found.

"Shut up, don't say anything!"

Yan'er screamed, looking panicked and painful.

"Lord Lin, when the investigation results come out, could you please send someone to tell me?" Lu Zhaoling stopped talking.

After listening to these few sentences of conversation, Lin Rong also knew where the entry point was. He felt that Miss Lu would not speak casually without a purpose.

"It's my duty." Lin Rong said respectfully.

Seeing this, Yan'er felt even more uneasy. Where is Brother Yi?

She didn't dare to ask. What if Brother Yi was not caught? If she asked, wouldn't she expose him?

"take away."

Only then did Lu Zhaoling enter the wooden house.

Qingyin and Qingbao had come in first and helped Miss Qiu untie the rope and lifted her up.

However, when they saw Miss Qiu's miserable condition, neither of them knew what to say.

I just asked, "Are you Miss Qiu?"

Miss Qiu nodded heavily, but then she felt like her head was going to fall off, and she leaned against Qingyin.

"Miss, it is indeed Miss Qiu." Qingbao said to Lu Zhaoling who came in.

Lu Zhaoling saw Miss Qiu's face that was so red and swollen that her facial features were deformed, and looked at her miserable state with disheveled hair and dishevelled clothes, and he hissed inwardly.

"Let me see if she's injured."

If they cannot walk, they will have to be carried on a stretcher.

"Who are you?" Miss Qiu was extremely weak. She looked at Lu Zhaoling and instinctively felt a sense of rejection, but she didn't know why.

Obviously, this girl is very beautiful. She has never been someone who is easily jealous of others' appearance.

Qingyin and Qingbao were both surprised by her voice.

Can Miss Qiu’s voice get any better?

"I'm Lu Zhaoling."

Lu Zhaoling responded and reached out to feel her pulse.

Miss Qiu looked at her, pursed her lips and said nothing, but also did not refuse her examination.

The hidden injury was not serious. She was probably poisoned, but it was not fatal. The poison just made her weak and listless.

I guess I need to go back and see a doctor.

She tried to pull open Miss Qiu's clothes again, but this time Miss Qiu raised her hand to stop her, "You don't have to look."

Lu Zhaoling took a step back without hesitation. She never forced others or rushed others.

"Did Miss Qiu break any bones or something?"

"No." Miss Qiu said in a hoarse voice.

Lu Zhaoling nodded and said to Qingyin and Qingbao, "Then you guys help Miss Qiu tidy up her appearance and help her out."

"Yes."

Before Lu Zhaoling was about to leave, she glanced at the things hanging over the stove. She frowned, thought about it, and walked over.

Before she could stand on tiptoe to take a closer look, the voice of Prince Jin came from outside.

"Lu Er, there are mushrooms growing in there. Come out quickly."

He had just heard from Qingfeng that the room was hot and strange, with many lanterns and a smell of stale blood.

After Miss Qiu comes out, Lin Rong will bring people in to check carefully.

It would not be good for Lu Er to stay in such a place for too long.
