Chapter 470: Saving Little Fourteen (4k long chapter)
Wenjiu hadn't seen such a strong and dark cruelty for a long time. It was even stronger than that of Li and Ulanara. The key point was that this cruelty came from a father-in-law he had never met.
The servant paused smiling, and suddenly said, "Young lady, please stop joking. Who wouldn't know my master?"
Wen Jiu laughed when he heard this and said, "Indeed, Lord Liang was always very considerate. Even the Queen Mother praised him."
The young eunuch nodded his head as he listened, then said with a smile, "Yes, Master often teaches me like this."
Wen Jiu's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this: "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous? Xiao Luzi's master is not Eunuch Liang at all, but Li Dequan! How dare you speak nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Luzi's face froze, then he laughed again, his expression a bit stiff as he said, "Miss, you're saying this, I was just joking. How could I not know that my master is Eunuch Li Dequan? However, Eunuch Liang has taught me a lot every day, so I have to call him Master."
Wen Jiu suddenly laughed after hearing this: "Actually, I was just teasing you. Xiao Luzi's master has always been Liang Jiugong! Come on, quickly capture him!"
The man in front of him suddenly turned sinister. The next second, he unsheathed his sharp blade and rushed towards the Queen Mother. "Qing Gou! Give me your life!!"
"Protect the Queen Mother!"
Wenjiu shouted coldly, and instantly swung out the snake whip in his hand. Fortunately, at the last second, he blocked the sleeve arrow shot by the man.
"My lady, are you okay?"
The Queen Mother frowned and shook her head. Her hand, which was holding the bottle of warm wine, was trembling slightly, but she still patted her: "You are a good child. I am fine. Take care of yourself."
As he spoke, he pulled the warm wine behind her.
Wenjiu was now protected by the Queen Mother and the people around her. When he looked back, he found that two shadow guards in black had appeared around him without him noticing, and that Xiao Luzi was lying on the ground with blood in his throat, motionless.
The Queen Mother's face was as pale as paper, and her voice was old and steady as she said, "Quick, go to the Emperor and tell the Imperial Guards to step up their defenses. Send a group of people to protect the Imperial Physician."
Wenjiu couldn't help but feel horrified the moment he saw the dead body. He took several deep breaths before calming down. Liusu beside him was so frightened that her voice was a little hoarse, but she still pulled Wenjiu's hand and gently stroked her back: "Girl, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay."
Wen Jiu's expression became more and more ugly, not because he was frightened by the man in front of him, but because he suddenly thought of the Fourth Master.
She had been on high alert these days, keeping a close eye on Little Fourteen, but she didn't expect that something like that would happen just as she was about to return to Beijing.
These people had already sneaked in a long time ago. Their disguise skills were so advanced that you couldn't even find any flaws in their appearance. It was really hard to guard against them.
"Queen Mother, I want to go find the Fourth Master."
Thinking of the Fourth Master kneeling dejectedly in the drizzle, Wenjiu's heart was weighed down. She couldn't let this happen!
"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother frowned. "These are troubled times. Don't go out and cause trouble. Stay by my side. Your unborn child is the most important thing."
As they were talking, Buyan came over with a group of guards: "Empress Dowager, are you feeling well?"
Seeing the assassin was completely dead, Bu Yan couldn't help but frowned and looked at the Queen Mother with concern.
The Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "It's okay. How's the situation outside?"
Bu Yan also looked towards Wen Jiu. Seeing that the girl's face was not looking good, but she did not look seriously injured, he sighed and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, most of the rebels are desperate and know how to swim. They are hard to guard against. Please follow me to a safe place. Another team of us has already gone to the emperor to protect him."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded and asked, "How is the Emperor? Is there any news about him?"
Bu Yan said: "I just sent a signal that the emperor is safe and sound. Queen Mother, you should go and meet the emperor now."
"I feel relieved now," the Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then took Bu Yan out and walked towards the cabin.
Soon, the emperor was spotted from a distance. The empress dowager walked over anxiously and looked him up and down: "Is the emperor injured?"
Emperor Kangxi shook his head and said, "Madam, I am fine. How is your health?"
"It's okay," the Queen Mother also shook her head, and then said, "It's Jiu'er. If she hadn't been alert, I'm afraid something would have happened."
As she spoke, the Queen Mother turned back to look at the wine. Her face paled abruptly as she turned back: "Where's the wine? How could so many living people suddenly disappear?"
The servants around him stammered and could not explain what was going on.
The Queen Mother grew increasingly anxious, sweat breaking out on her forehead. "She's still pregnant, what should we do?"
Emperor Kangxi helped the Empress Dowager to calm down: "My Queen Mother, why was Miss Wen with you just now?"
The Queen Mother nodded immediately: "That's right, it's a good thing she was here just now. Now the child is gone. What should we do?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, it will be fine."
Emperor Kangxi's expression was extremely grim, and he immediately ordered those around him, "Go quickly, take a team to look for him."
Bu Yan Geek clasped his fists and replied "yes".
The girl was missing. In fact, he was even more anxious than the emperor and the others. He wanted to slap himself twice. He had been looking ahead and hadn't noticed that the girl had disappeared. If something really happened to the girl, how could he be worthy of his master's trust? He would be blamed for it forever!
Immediately follow the way you came to look for it.
Wenjiu used her silk fairy dress to change into eunuch's clothes. After successfully escaping from everyone's sight, she changed into the clothes of a guard in a blink of an eye and successfully sneaked into the ship where the Fourth Master was.
Seeing this scene, she was stunned.
Now the Eighth Master was holding the wet Fourth Master in the distance, and the Fifth Master had already grabbed the Fourth Master's neck. His gentle heart almost fell to the bottom with a thud.
[Master, it's over! Are we still too late? What should I do?]
"Fourth brother, Fourteen is your biological brother! Do you have a conscience?"
The Fifth Master roared angrily, and then the Prince of Zhi knocked his arm off. Then, the Prince of Zhi dragged him to the Fourteenth Master.
The scene around him slowly overlapped with the fragments of memory. Everyone was surrounding Fourteen, and the Fourth Master seemed to be alone.
Wenjiuzhi's heart ached, and he walked over in a trance and hugged the Fourth Master's arm.
"Master."
She called out lightly, and Wenjiu felt a lump in her throat. She knew countless ways to say words that would move the Fourth Master, but at this moment she inexplicably couldn't say them.
After taking a look at his arm that was already soaked in blood, he warmed his lips, silently took out gauze and alcohol from the space to clean his wound.
[Ding, 5 hearts were collected from the Fourth Master to upgrade.]
Wenjiu was stunned for a moment and looked up in surprise. At this time, he was still giving himself love.
The Fourth Master gently wiped her face with his rough fingers.
"Don't cry." The Fourth Master said in a hoarse voice, "It's just some minor injuries, nothing serious."
After taking a closer look at Wenjiu, the Fourth Master couldn't help but frown and said, "You silly girl, why are you here at this time? What are you wearing?" The Fourth Master glanced at Wenjiu's clothes with disdain. His face was cold.
"Fourth brother! Come quickly! Check on Fourteenth, he choked on water!" At this moment, Thirteenth Master suddenly shouted.
The Fourth Master covered his chest and coughed twice: "I'll be right there."
Then, he took Wenjiu's hand and led her forward.
Wen Jiu looked at the Fourth Master in front of him with a strange expression, feeling that something seemed to be wrong...
[Huh? Strange, the Fourth Master's predicted darkening value is gradually decreasing... Our mission is clearly ruined...]
Wenjiu suddenly heard Xiaojin shouting in confusion. Before he could ask clearly, he saw the Fifth Master in front of him coming up with a guilty look on his face.
"Fourth brother, I was impulsive just now. I said some unpleasant things. Don't take it to heart. My eldest brother told me that it was you who saved Fourteen..."
The more Wenjiu listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Finally, three questions popped up in his head: "Was it the Fourth Master who rescued the Fourteenth Master?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Fifth Master and the Fourth Master around him turned their attention to Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu immediately said: "Well, sorry, please continue..."
The Fifth Master's face flushed crimson, and after a while he said, "Anyway, it's my brother's fault. If Fourth Brother wants to punish me, I have no complaints."
His expression was still somewhat stiff, and it was obvious that he was not used to talking to the Fourth Master in this way.
The Fourth Master just waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go see Fourteenth first."
He immediately turned around and asked, "Did you call the imperial physician?"
He nodded without saying anything: "I've already called the imperial physician, but he hasn't come yet."
[Master, the Fourth Master's predicted darkening value has decreased by another 5 points!]
Wenjiu didn't have time to talk to Xiaojin, and this time he took Shisi into his room.
"What should we do? No matter how much we call him, he won't wake up. Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?" asked the Eighth Master.
"Why do I feel that Fourteen's breath is getting weaker and weaker?" said the Prince of Zhi.
"Hurry, go call the imperial physician and bring him to me as quickly as possible!" said the Third Master.
Wenjiu looked at Fourteen carefully at this moment, and immediately frowned.
The imperial physician didn't know when he would arrive. Fourteen's stomach was bloated at this moment, and it was obvious that he had stored a lot of water.
"Master, the water in Fourteenth Master's stomach needs to be expelled as soon as possible to avoid damaging his lungs. You are..."
Wen Jiu went to the Fourth Master's ear and told him the method in detail.
The Fourth Master frowned as he listened and said, "Is this method feasible?"
Wen Jiu nodded sincerely: "Okay! If the water can't be emptied, Jiuer has other methods, you can try them. If the water gets into the lungs, it will be life-threatening."
The Fourth Master frowned, then rolled up his sleeves, walked up to Fourteenth, and carried him up.
She put her head behind the Fourth Master's waist and walked with big strides on her back.
This scared everyone around.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Thirteen frowned deeply. He was always afraid that something unexpected would happen. So far, it was Fourth Brother who saved Fourteen, and the incident did not develop in a bad direction.
He still hadn't figured out the interests involved, but he didn't expect that Fourth Brother would pick Fourteen up again.
For a moment, my heart was lifted up.
"Fourth Brother, stop making trouble and put Fourteenth down quickly. He's weak now and can't stand it."
Prince Zhi's face turned pale with fright.
The Fourth Master frowned and said, "I'm trying to save him. If the water isn't drained out, something bad will happen."
"How can you control water like this?" said Mr. Ba.
The Fourth Master pursed his lips, took a few steps, and ignored them.
After walking for a while, Fourteen still didn't respond, and the people around him became a little anxious.
The Eighth Master's expression also turned cold: "Fourth Brother, stop torturing Fourteenth, go and put him down!"
The Fourth Master frowned and subconsciously looked at the warm wine beside him.
"Master, please walk a little longer, take bigger steps, and pat her on the back as you go."
After hearing what Fourth Master and Ting Wenjiu said, Eighth Master's face darkened a little. "Fourth Brother, you are listening to a woman now and you don't want to listen to us say a few more words?"
Obviously, this statement won the approval of most people around.
Even though everyone thinks that food cooked with warm wine tastes better, there is really no way to convince people on this point.
But the Fourth Master ignored their sour words and continued to walk with Fourteenth in his arms.
At some point, a voice was suddenly heard: "The imperial physician is here." Following closely behind were Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager.
Emperor Kangxi had just dealt with the rebellion when he heard that the fourteenth emperor had unfortunately fallen into the water.
Upon hearing that the princes were injured, even the empress dowager was so worried that she accompanied him to see the children.
When I came in and saw this scene, I was a little stunned.
"Father Emperor, you are here now, please take care of Fourth Brother. Fourteen is almost getting dizzy from his torment. No matter what we say, Fourth Brother won't listen."
Emperor Kangxi frowned and turned his gaze to the Fourth Master: "Fourth Master, what are you doing?"
Carrying Fourteen like this seems like a torment no matter how you look at it.
At this moment, he had been staring at the Fourteenth Master's warm wine, but his eyes lit up: "Master! Jump twice! Clap twice more! I see that the Fourteenth Master seems to be frowning!"
The Fourth Master didn't have time to answer for a moment. After hearing this, he immediately started walking, patting Fourteenth's back as he walked.
Sure enough, not long after, Fourteen coughed twice and a large amount of water sprayed out of him.
The Fourth Master immediately put the man down and patted his face: "Fourteen, how are you? Fourteen!"
The Fourteenth Master opened his eyes dazedly and called out, "Fourth Brother..."
After coughing twice, he fainted again.
Doctor Liu was startled and immediately came over to check the Fourteenth Master's pulse. He said, "Fourth Master's method is excellent. He has already controlled the water in Fourteenth Master's stomach. He shouldn't have fainted now..."
As if thinking of something, the imperial physician asked, "Does the Fourteenth Master have any external injuries?"
The Fourth Master immediately slapped his wrist open: "There was a cut on his arm from a sharp blade."
The doctor's face changed, and he flipped over the Fourteenth Master's eyelids again, then looked at his tongue coating, and immediately said, "The sword is poisonous!"
