Chapter 311 - 311 Drawing a Sword
311 Drawing a Sword
There was an assassination attempt on the fourth prince?
Hearing Qian He’s words, not only Lin Suisui, but even Lu Ze, who was protecting her, was a little surprised.
According to Pei Qian’s way of doing things, it was impossible for him to be stabbed in the back at such a critical moment!
Could it be…
However, now wasn’t the time to ask about this. After all, Pei Qian’s injuries were more important. Therefore, before Lin Suisui and Lu Ze could even say goodbye to Doctor Luo, they hurriedly set off from the back door, got into the carriage, and rushed in the direction of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry.
Because of the assassination attempt just now, Duke Huai Yang’s ministry was in complete chaos.
If not for the fact that Qian He had arranged for people to maintain basic order, Pei Qian probably wouldn’t even have a place to get his injuries treated.
The fourth prince was scared out of his wits. Seeing that the fourth prince became dispirited again, Princess Ning Fu was so frightened that when she saw Lin Suisui get out of the carriage, she rushed over to pull her towards the fourth prince before Qian He could lead the way. “Madam Liu, you’re finally here. The fourth prince just fainted. Come with me to take a look at him!”
“The fourth prince was so frightened that he fainted. You just have to ask the doctor to go over and take a look! But Mr. Pei is very seriously injured.”
Lin Suisui pulled her hand out of Princess Ning Fu’s grip and rejected her plea with a cold expression. Then, she turned around and instructed Qian He, “Lead the way.”
“But that’s the fourth prince!” Princess Ning Fu was anxious. What if something happened to the fourth prince? No matter how important Pei Qian was, could he be more important than the fourth prince?
Lin Suisui didn’t even look back as she followed Qian He towards the courtyard where Pei Qian was. Princess Ning Fu wanted to stop her, but Su Le, who was behind her, reached out and stopped her.
She gritted her teeth angrily and had no choice but to turn around to look for the fourth prince.
On the other hand, Lin Suisui followed Qian He all the way to the heavily guarded small courtyard.
Before she even entered, Lin Suisui smelled blood in the air.
After she walked around the screen, she saw Pei Qian lying on the bed with a pale face. The sharp dagger had pierced about two-thirds of his chest. From the looks of it, perhaps his heart meridians were injured.
Without delay, Lin Suisui took a few steps forward to check the situation before turning around and saying to Qian He, who was guarding at the side, “We need to draw the knife and suture the wound quickly.”
“But the previous doctors didn’t dare to take it out.” Qian He was so anxious that he was about to cry. Of course, he knew that the most important thing now was to pull out this dagger, but…
“Let me do it.” Lu Ze took two steps forward and stood beside Lin Suisui.
At this moment, Lin Suisui needed to quickly stop the bleeding and suture the wound, but she definitely couldn’t do it at the same time all on her own. Moreover, speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness were important when doing such a thing. If she hesitated for even a moment, it would be equivalent to stirring Pei Qian’s chest with a dagger again…
If things went wrong, he might really die just like that.
After confirming who would draw the knife, Lin Suisui immediately prepared to stop the bleeding. Without any hesitation, the two of them cooperated and pulled out the dagger from Pei Qian’s chest.
Lin Suisui moved the silver needles at a quick speed. Before Qian He could breathe a sigh of relief, the silver needles had already landed on a few important acupuncture points outside Pei Qian’s wound.
When the bleeding stopped, all that was left was to treat the wound and suture it.
Only after cleaning up the blood on his injuries did Lin Suisui see Pei Qian’s injuries clearly. After seeing it, she couldn’t help but marvel that Pei Qian was really ridiculously lucky.
Although the wound looked serious, it actually didn’t hurt his organs. To put it bluntly, for people like them who went to the battlefield from time to time, it was just a superficial wound.
However, it looked a little scary.
Lin Suisui suppressed her doubts and began to suture Pei Qian’s wound attentively.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Lu Ze didn’t disturb Lin Suisui anymore. After Lu Ze gave Qian He a look, the two of them retreated to the outer room so that he could ask about the situation.
“With the child Gu that Madam Liu gave him previously, Mr. Pei caught the spy with the mother Gu.” Qian He still felt a lingering sense of fear when he mentioned what had happened today.
“That person was quickly locked up in the Imperial City’s government office. Mr. Pei originally planned to start the interrogation on the spot, but the fourth prince suddenly sent someone to look for Mr. Pei. He said that he had something to discuss with Mr. Pei.
“After Mr. Pei returned, he met the fourth prince. There was a little girl who often stayed by the fourth prince’s side to serve tea. Because that little girl had always been by the fourth prince’s side, we didn’t think too much about it, but…”
“That girl suddenly attacked the fourth prince?”
When Lu Ze heard this, he could guess what happened next. “Then, where is that girl now?”
“Her chin has already been removed. She’s tied up and locked up now,” Qian He said as he lowered his head. That girl was quite skilled. If not for the prince’s return today, something serious would have happened…
“Don’t tell me you sent that girl to the Imperial City Office too?” When Lu Ze heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
“Not yet. Because of Mr. Pei’s injuries, that girl is temporarily locked in the room beside him.” Although Qian He didn’t know why Lu Ze asked this, he still replied very respectfully, “Sir, is there anything wrong?”
“There are very few northern barbarian secret guards who know this face-changing technique. I believe you know this too. If not for the fact that we caught the northern barbarian secret guard last time and subdued him with my wife’s drug, he probably would have had countless ways to escape.
It goes without saying that this girl is definitely a northern barbarian shadow guard. I suspect that she has been by the fourth prince’s side for a long time now.
The reason she made a move today is very likely because you captured the spy who has the mother Gu and she wants to save that person.”
As Lu Ze looked at Qian He, he sneered and said with certainty, “That spy is locked up in the Imperial City’s government office and if she’s captured because of the assassination attempt, in order to dig out useful information from her, we’ll definitely send her to the Imperial City’s government office for interrogation.
That would be the best time for her to make a move!”
