Chapter 26 Jiang Qingqing Kills
The next morning.
Jiang Qingqing woke Jiang Yu up and got up to hurry on.
The two drove on a country road for about an hour, and a group of people behind them made Jiang Yuxin alert.
He shook the reins.
"Princess, sit tight, someone is coming."
Jiang Qingqing lifted the curtain and looked back. A dozen horses were galloping towards them.
A carriage can never be faster than a horse.
In a moment, the guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion gathered and stopped the carriage.
The leader was Liu Xubai.
"Qingqing, come here."
Liu Xubai's face was paler today than yesterday. He got off the horse first and walked towards the carriage.
Jiang Qingqing sat in the carriage and quietly asked Jiang Yu outside, "What are our chances of winning?"
Jiang Yu glanced at the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion and replied in a low voice, "Sixty percent."
After a night's rest yesterday, Jiang Yu's body was not fully recovered, but he was still able to fight against just a dozen or so guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Besides, Liu Xubai is much weaker today than yesterday.
I just don't know if there will be other pursuers later.
Jiang Qingqing frowned.
You can't hit hard.
"I'll get off the carriage in a moment. You can pull me onto the horse when the time is right. The carriage frame won't be needed anymore."
Jiang Qingqing held a Swiss Army knife in her sleeve, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her disordered heartbeat.
His eyes were firm as if he had made some kind of decision.
He opened the curtain and stood on the carriage.
Looking down at Liu Xubai, he spoke first: "I want to go to Yingzhou."
Liu Xubai naturally would not refuse her request and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Qingqing, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Jiang Qingqing shook her head.
"No, the one who went to Yingzhou with me was Jiang Yu."
Her words made Liu Xu's eyes darken. He gestured to the guards, and they drew their swords and surrounded them more tightly.
Yesterday's scene reappeared.
But the difference was that today Jiang Qingqing took the initiative to get off the carriage.
Walk to Liu Xubai.
He whispered, "You're already married. There's no chance for us. I said that a long time ago."
Liu Xu's eyes were filled with grief, and he reached out to hug Jiang Qingqing.
He thought she would hide away as usual, but this time she didn't. Jiang Qingqing's action made Liu Xubai mistakenly believe that she was willing to forgive him.
He hurriedly explained, "That's not the case. Marrying a wife is just a way to appease the Queen Mother. It's only temporary..."
Before Liu Xubai could finish his words, the saber in Jiang Qingqing's sleeve had already pierced his chest.
Blood flowed out of the wound and flowed onto Jiang Qingqing's hand.
"drive!"
Jiang Yu had already untied the noose. Seeing the right moment, he quickly drove his horse and pulled Jiang Qingqing onto it. While everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was still not able to react, he forcibly made a way out.
Everything happened so fast that the guards at the Prime Minister's Mansion had not yet reacted.
"Young Master!"
Liu Xubai fell to the ground, clutching his chest, his blood staining the ground. He stared in disbelief at the direction Jiang Qingqing had fled.
He never imagined that one day he would come face to face with Jiang Qingqing.
"Young Master, hold on, I'll go find a doctor!"
The guards at the Prime Minister's Mansion were immediately divided into two groups. One group stayed to guard Liu Xubai, while the other group rushed to the nearest town to find medicinal herbs and doctors for him.
This princess is so cruel!
My son was just punished by the Prime Minister yesterday for the matter of the third young lady, and he is still injured.
Today, he ran to pick her up regardless of his health, and stabbed her in the chest.
There was no hesitation in the action.
Someone wanted to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver a message, but was stopped by Liu Xubai.
"What? Did I ask you to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The guard hesitated, "But... the young master's injuries should be treated by the imperial physician."
Liu Xubai suppressed the blood that was about to burst out of his throat and said coldly, "If even a single bit of today's news gets out, I'll bring my head to you."
Although the guards did not understand his actions, they did not dare to disobey him.
"I dare not!"
The autumn wind is blowing so hard today that it makes people shiver.
The guard was still hesitating whether to help Liu Xubai into the carriage left by Jiang Qingqing to avoid the wind.
But the next moment, Liu Xubai fell into coma due to excessive blood loss.
"Young Master!"
The guard closest to Liu Xubai hurriedly picked him up.
He said in panic:
"What shall we do? Should we wait here till they find a doctor?"
A guard who had some knowledge of medicine squatted down beside him.
After checking Liu Xubai's pulse, his face changed drastically.
"No! We can't wait for them any longer. We need to hurry back to the Prime Minister's Residence. I'll go ahead and have Madam call the Imperial Physician. You can use the carriage to bring the eldest son back."
"Remember, be careful on the way and avoid too much bumps."
Liu Xubai's heart is tilted slightly to the left compared to normal people.
If this knife strikes, someone might die!
【Prime Minister's Mansion】
The prime minister's wife, who was picking flowers in the yard, suddenly dropped the scissors in her hand after hearing the news from the guards.
"What did you say! What happened to the eldest master?"
The guard knelt on the ground with a sword in hand and recounted Liu Xubai's critical situation.
"Madam, please come forward as soon as possible and call the imperial physician from the palace. I'm afraid the eldest young master is unable to hold on."
The Prime Minister's wife was so frightened by what the guard said that her legs went weak.
It was the nanny beside him who supported him.
"Go, tell the Queen Mother a message. Be sure to invite all the imperial physicians in the palace."
The Prime Minister's wife spoke in a trembling voice, forcing herself to calm down.
"Take out all the finest herbs in the storehouse. Yes! Take a hundred-year-old ginseng, cut it into slices, and let the eldest master hold it in his mouth."
"Hot water...boil some hot water!"
After explaining everything, the Prime Minister's wife could no longer hold on and sat down on the ground.
Trying to hear comfort from the nanny beside me.
"Nothing will happen to my son, right?"
The nanny's eyes turned red when she saw the Prime Minister's wife looking so lost.
Think about how much suffering the Prime Minister’s wife went through in order to protect the eldest son.
Mammy said in a gentle voice:
"Young Master, you are a lucky person, and nothing will happen to you."
Not long after.
Liu Xubai was carried into the Prime Minister's Mansion covered in blood.
The imperial doctors in the palace had been waiting in the room for a long time. Seeing Liu Xubai's condition, even the doctors with excellent medical skills did not dare to guarantee that he would wake up.
"Ma'am, we'll try our best."
When the Prime Minister's wife heard this, she felt like the sky was falling.
The guard had just told her the whole process of Liu Xubai's injury.
Her only thought at this moment was: If Liu Xubai really couldn't wake up, then she would have to marry Jiang Qingqing in a ghost marriage and go to the underworld together to accompany him.
The Prime Minister's wife picked up the pen.
He wrote a letter and asked his servant to deliver it to the Empress Dowager's palace.
—
On the country road.
Jiang Qingqing sat behind Liu Xubai, looking at her blood-stained hands with a dazed expression.
She killed someone...
Stabbed Liu Xubai...
"Jiang Yu, do you think he will die?"
Probably not, she wasn't heading towards the heart, but if...
Jiang Qingqing felt a little scared.
