Chapter 209 - 209 Great Prince
209 Great Prince
Qiao Heting knew what those people were thinking.
He chuckled and said, “I came to Yuanjiang County after the New Year. In Imperial City, this is not something strange, right? I think your question is kind of strange. Do I have to tell you where I will go every time? I am not gay!”
The guards were speechless.
They heard that Qiao Heting was an intellectual, but he did not act like one. Sometimes he was just like a scoundrel.
They could be sure it was the truth now that they had seen him.
“Uncle, I grew up with the Great Prince’s concubine. You will know whether it is true or not when Mrs. Xie comes out.” Qiao Heting looked sideways at County Magistrate Qiao.
“How dare you say you grew up with the Great Prince’s concubine?”
“What if you are lying?”
The guards were still angry.
Xie Heng was watching the conversation between Qiao Heting and the guards. He just stayed silent. It was as if he was not even here.
Two-quarters of an hour later, the door finally opened.
Zhao Chuchu came out with blood all over her body. She pretended to be tired and said, “She is not in danger for the time being. I’ve tried my best. Her life will depend on how strong she is.”
“Are you sure?”
“Why don’t you save her?”
Zhao Chuchu’s words made the guards speechless.
Zhao Chuchu wrote them a prescription. “Get the medicine.”
The guard took a look at Zhao Chuchu and left with the prescription.
Madam Luo said to Zhao Chuchu, “Well, we have prepared warm water. Go and take a bath.”
Zhao Chuchu didn’t like the blood all over her body, so she nodded and went to the shower.
Qiao Heting looked at the door, and then he gave County Magistrate Qiao a wink.
County Magistrate Qiao understood what he meant.
“General Gan, would you please ask Old Mrs. Gan to go in and see if it is convenient for my nephew to go in and make sure it is the Great Prince’s concubine?”
“Well, please wait a moment.” General Gan then let Old Mrs. Gan in.
When Old Mrs. Gan saw that Sikou Qin was dressed neatly, she came out and took Qiao Heting in.
Qiao Heting just looked at the bed from afar, recognized that it was Sikou Qin, and then withdrew.
Qiao Heting said, “It really is the Great Prince’s concubine.”
The people of the Gan clan looked at each other. They had never expected such a person to come to Yuanjiang County and even be attacked.
General Gan did not dare to be careless. He summoned people overnight. The inn where Sikou Qin stayed was surrounded. No one was allowed to leave. He interrogated the people individually to see if they were related to this assassination.
With such efforts, the fact that the Great Prince’s concubine came to Yuanjiang County could not be concealed completely.
County Magistrate Qiao sent a letter to Guangqing Province quickly and sent extra staff to wait at the house of the Gan clan at any time.
Zhao Chuchu did not get rid of the child inside Sikou Qin.
She did not want to meddle in the affairs of the imperial family.
At the same time, Xie Heng sent Xie Jun back to Lengshui Village and asked the Chen clan to take care of him. He told Xie Jun not to leave the Chen clan if nothing was wrong.
This was to prevent people in Imperial City from seeing Xie Jun and recognizing his identity.
Zhao Chuchu kept Sikou Qin alive, but Sikou Qin never woke up.
On the day Zhao Chuchu acupunctured Old Mr. Qiu for the last time, many people from Imperial City arrived in Yuanjiang County.
Looking at these worn-out people, everybody knew they were always on their way day and night.
There was an imperial physician with them.
The man in charge looked handsome. At first glance, he was somewhat similar to Xie Jun, but his sinister and ruthless eyes were completely different from Xie Jun.
This must be the Great Prince.
The Great Prince got off the horse, ignored Gan Maosheng’s salute, and walked in with the imperial physician.
Looking at Sikou Qin, who was pale, the Great Prince was furious.
“Who treated her? Come here!” the Great Prince shouted.
Xie Heng pinched Zhao Chuchu’s hand as a sign for her not to worry.
Zhao Chuchu nodded slightly and then entered the room.
“It’s me, Your Highness.” Zhao Chuchu stooped down to salute the Great Prince.
The Great Prince heard the sound and looked over. At that moment, his eyes flashed with amazement. It seemed that he did not expect that there would be such a beautiful woman in such a small place.
“Are you Zhao Chuchu, who dealt with the plague in Yuanjiang County?” Great Prince’s tone was gentler, but Zhao Chuchu was disgusted by his indecent eyes.
Zhao Chuchu was considering the possibility of getting rid of the Great Prince.
Zhao Chuchu held back her killing intent, lowered her head, and replied, “Well, I just happened to see such a prescription. The imperial court should be responsible for dealing with the plague, and I dare not take credit for it. I just started learning medicine.”
It meant that she had done her best to save Sikou Qin!
“Tell me more about the assassination!” The Great Prince sat down and stared at Zhao Chuchu.
Zhao Chuchu was sure that the Great Prince knew that Sikou Qin had pestered Xie Heng, so she told him directly that Sikou Qin had come for a doctor that night.
“In addition to being injured, she seems to have been poisoned chronically. I am not proficient in medicine and dare not make a conclusion. As for the kid inside her, I dare not use drugs indiscriminately.” Zhao Chuchu was honest. She knew how to act like a woman who was not experienced at all.
The Great Prince suspected her for her different reaction.
She did not know the identity of Sikou Qin, so it was reasonable for her to have been arrogant.
After meeting the Great Prince, Zhao Chuchu knew he was just kind of clever. She did not have to be afraid of him.
Xie Heng had gotten rid of the Great Prince and his family in his previous life. And this time, he could not get a better result than that.
The Great Prince looked to the imperial physician.
The imperial physician nodded.
The Great Prince asked Zhao Chuchu to go out.
Zhao Chuchu left.
The Great Prince asked the imperial physician, “How is she?”
The imperial physician looked grave and said, “That woman’s judgment was correct. Your Highness, the child inside her, could not be saved. Please make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, she will be in danger as well.”
“Is there any hope?” The Great Prince was looking forward to the arrival of his first kid. Now Sikou Qin had failed to protect the baby, which made him very angry.
The imperial physician shook his head and said, “I don’t know any medicine that can save her. There is nothing I can do for the baby.”
The Great Prince clenched his teeth and hit on the table.
Initially, he married Sikou Qin to win over Sikou Qin’s family.
Unexpectedly, this bitch, Sikou Qin, was pregnant and secretly ran out of Imperial City without telling him!
The Great Prince had been quite good to Sikou Zhendong. However, this old fox seemed to wobble now.
The pregnancy news came to Sikou Zhendong, and he couldn’t wait to stay away from the Great Prince.
Sikou Zhendong’s younger sister entered the palace ten years ago, but she never got pregnant. The Great Prince also made great efforts to marry Si Kouqin.
What irritated the Great Prince most was the purpose of Sikou Qin’s coming to Yuanjiang County.
This bitch cheated on him. She came here for such a poor guy.
