Chapter 232: Hospital Rules 3
Next to Dier was a tray with today's lunch on it.
Yizhen then realized that Die'er had accidentally seen her destroying the letter when she came to bring her food.
"Get out." Yizhen was out of character, no smile on her face anymore, staring at Die'er coldly.
Die'er was frightened and slowly raised her head, staring at Yizhen in shock, not knowing what was wrong with her.
"Get out." Yizhen said again, raised her hand and pointed at the door, glaring at Die'er with her bloodshot eyes.
Die'er was so frightened as if she had seen a ghost that she shivered and sat down on the ground.
At this moment, Yizhen suddenly grabbed the broken hairpin on the table and threw it at Die'er.
Although it didn't hit Dier, it scared her so much that she let out a muffled cry, got up from the ground in panic, and ran away without looking back.
Fortunately, Die'er couldn't make any sound, otherwise her screams would have alarmed the other concubines.
After driving Die'er away, Yizhen immediately closed the door. She looked at the white fragments all over the floor, and felt a sharp pain in both temples. She didn't know what was wrong with her? Why was she in so much pain? Why was she so abnormal?
She slowly picked up the broken pieces on the floor and piled them on the table without missing a single one.
She tried to piece the pieces together to check if there was anything missing. But the paper was too broken into pieces and could not be pieced back together. After trying for a long time, she still could not figure it out. Finally, Yizhen had to give up and sat quietly for a long, long time...

When it was time to go to Wenhua Courtyard, Ji Anni knocked on the door and said goodbye to Yizhen.
Yizhen was still smiling as usual, and no one could tell what had happened.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Ji Anni thought that she had forgiven Shui Furong, and she felt deeply relieved.
The necessities of life had already been delivered to Wenhua Courtyard, so Ji Anni and Shui Furong set off with ease.
Water Lotus is alone, but Ji Anni has Huarong to keep her company.
On the way, Shui Furong sighed with a sour feeling: "Ah, Concubine Zhao, your maid is so considerate and follows you all the time. Unlike my maids, not only do they not accompany me, but they also deliberately avoid me."
Ji Annie laughed dryly and thought, you are so fierce, who dares to accompany you... Monsters and ghosts will give way to you when they see you.
After leaving Dong Congfei Palace, I walked for a while and suddenly saw Die'er standing on the side of the road.
Die'er seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. When she saw Ji Anni and the others coming, she immediately went to greet them. Her expression was very strange, anxious and uneasy, as if she had a lot to say in her heart.
"Die'er, what's wrong?" Ji Anni saw that Die'er was coming for her, so she asked.
Die'er was speechless. She just took Ji Anni's hand and stuffed something into her palm.
Ji Anni was about to open her palm to see what was going on, but Die'er tightly wrapped her hands around the back of her hand, as if reminding her not to be seen by anyone else.
So Ji Anni turned slightly, chose an angle where Huarong and Shui Furong could not see, quickly opened her five fingers, and glanced at what Dier had stuffed into her palm.
It was a fragment with half of the word "Zhen" written on it.
Ji Anni's chest suddenly sank and her body froze as if frozen.
Even with just one glance, she had clearly recognized that this half of the word "Zhen" was exactly the word "Zhen" on the envelope of the apology letter that Shui Furong wrote to Yizhen.
Why was the letter torn into pieces? I had clearly given it to Yizhen...
Who tore the letter in such a short time?
Everything seemed so clear that no one could tear up the letter except Yizhen herself.
Thinking back to the scene when I said goodbye to Yizhen just now, I didn’t see anything unusual at all?
What on earth is going on… Ji Anni suddenly became confused.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Shui Furong noticed that Ji Annie's face looked strange, and leaned over to ask curiously.
"Nothing..." Ji Anni quickly dodged Shui Furong, feeling very heavy-hearted.
She held the fragments tightly in her palms until she was sweating.
Why did Yizhen tear up the letter? Ji Anni really wanted to go back and ask for clarification.
"Your Majesty, if you don't go to Wenhua Court quickly, you'll be late." Hua Rong reminded Ji Anni not to stand there in a daze.
"I, I still have some things left in the room... You guys go to Wenhua Court first, I'll be there soon..." After saying that, Ji Annie turned around and ran back.
Hua Rong immediately stopped her and said, "Your Majesty, please go to Wenhua Courtyard first. I will help you get the things you forgot."
She had already seen that Ji Anni was worried and deliberately did not let her go.
Ji Anni had no choice but to change her words: "I remembered it wrongly, I didn't leave anything behind."
If she went back now, she would definitely not be able to get rid of Hua Rong. With Hua Rong by her side, even if Yi Zhen had something on her mind, she would never say it out loud.
Thinking of this, Ji Anni had to give up the idea of going back, and before leaving, she told Die'er: "Die'er, help me take good care of Yizhen."
Die'er nodded after hearing this. Seeing Die'er nod, Ji Anni felt more relieved.
At this point, I just hope I'm just being too concerned...

When they arrived at Wenhua Courtyard, a guide in white led Ji Anni, Shui Furong and Hua Rong into the Junior School, which was also the place where the entrance ceremony for Prince Ming and others was held that day.
After entering the door, I saw Chang Sun Nan, who looked like the King of Hell, sitting in the middle of the school, with a very scary aura.
Ji Anni and Shui Furong immediately wilted like eggplants hit by frost, as if they had already anticipated the hardships they would face under his care in the future.
In addition, standing behind Chang Sun Nan was an acquaintance of Ji Annie, Kang Xiaorong.
It’s a bit strange that Kang Xiaorong appears here. What’s his relationship with Wenhuayuan?
While Ji Anni was in a daze, Chang Sun Nan's deep voice rang in her ears: "Zhao Congfei, Shui Congfei, since the Queen Mother has entrusted you to my care, I cannot fail in my mission. If I offend you in the future, please forgive me, my two queens."
Oh no... Is this the legendary "retreat to advance, and take the roundabout way to achieve the direct way"?
He's going to say it out loud first, so don't blame his men for being ruthless later.
Shui Furong, who dared to talk back in front of the Queen Mother, fell silent in front of Chang Sun Nan and lowered her head to listen to his lecture. This was very similar to Princess Tianning. It seemed that Chang Sun Nan really had the demeanor of a "bad guy killer". Anyone who came into his presence had to restrain their temper and dared not act recklessly.
To some extent, perhaps Zhang Sunnan had more prestige than the Queen Mother, because he was a university scholar, knowledgeable, and could convince people with virtue, unlike the Queen Mother who used her status to suppress people.
Seeing that there was no response from the hall, Chang Sun Nan continued, "From today onwards, the major general will send soldiers to guard your residence in shifts."
After hearing this, Ji Annie finally understood why Kang Xiaorong was here - it turned out that he was here to be the chief guard.
"Without the Queen Mother's permission, you cannot step out of the courtyard, otherwise you will be punished twice as much according to the Wenhua Courtyard rules."
As soon as Chang Sun Nan finished speaking, the guide in white placed two thick manuals on the desks in front of Ji Anni and Shui Furong respectively.
The cover of the manual had the words "Institution Rules" written on it. The thickness was conservatively estimated to be about 1 cm, and there were about 200 pages.
Excluding the preface, postscript, table of contents, and notes, the main text is about 180 pages long. If we calculate based on 20 articles per page, then Wenhua Academy has about 3600 rules...
Before Ji Anni had taken a closer look, she was already sweating profusely at the result of her mental arithmetic.
"Do you have any questions now?" Chang Sun Nan asked in a formal manner.
Shui Furong raised her right hand high and asked, "Master Changsun, how many guards are there guarding us?"
Chang Sunnan gave Kang Xiaorong a look, as if asking him to answer the question. So Kang Xiaorong said, "There are three shifts, morning, noon and evening, two people in each shift, and they change every four hours."
"Aren't there guards watching over us twelve hours a day?" Ji Anni felt heavy-hearted. It seemed the Queen Mother was serious.
"Any other questions?" Chang Sun Nan asked again.
"No more..." Shui Furong and Ji Anni answered honestly.
Chang Sun Nan is a busy man. After the "imprisonment ceremony", he hurried back to work.
Kang Xiaorong considerately stayed behind to act as the guide and lead the way for Ji Anni and Shui Furong.

After leaving the school, a group of four, three girls and one boy, walked towards the "inpatient department".
As long as Chang Sun Nan was not present, Shui Furong immediately returned to her true nature and said ostentatiously, "Only two people were sent to take turns to guard us? Isn't that too contemptuous of us?"
"You'll cry if it's too much..." Ji Anni glanced at him, thinking, is this the time to be so ostentatious?
And... you shouldn't say this in front of the chief of guards...
Thinking of this, Ji Anni looked back at Kang Xiaorong worriedly, hoping that Kang Xiaorong had not heard what Shui Furong had just said.
Although Kang Xiaorong was the leader, he deliberately walked behind.
When Ji Anni turned around, she saw Kang Xiaorong and Hua Rong walking side by side, and then she realized the mystery.
"Shui Congfei, let's walk faster." Ji Anni pulled Shui Furong and quickened their pace and rushed forward.
"Why?" Shui Furong asked blankly, as if she didn't know the story between Kang Xiaorong and Hua Rong.
"Don't worry about it. Just walk faster." Ji Anni dragged Shui Furong away without saying a word.
Wenhuayuan is square in structure and the roads are straight, so they won't get lost even without Kang Xiaorong leading the way.
"Huarong, we're going to clean up the room first, you guys take your time." Ji Anni waved to Huarong, deliberately leaving her and Kang Xiaorong some time to be alone.
"Why let them take their time? I don't know how to clean my room..." Shui Furong originally wanted to take advantage of Hua Rong and Kang Xiaorong's cheap labor, but she didn't expect to be ruined by Ji Anni's words.
"You can't do it, but I can." In order to help the lovers, Ji Anni had to sacrifice herself and become Shui Furong's servant.
"Empress!" Hua Rong felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to catch up with her.
Kang Xiaorong suddenly reached out to stop her, as if he had something to say.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Anni and Shui Furong disappeared.
