Chapter 910 It really wasn’t you who did it?
"Tanluan!"
Wenjiu took a look at his wound and saw that the arrow had hit his left chest perfectly.
It was a close call. The archer was too far away, and when he got close, his power wasn't strong enough. The arrow didn't penetrate my chest.
Because of Wenjiu's hemostatic powder, not much blood was lost at the moment. Wenjiu held his breath and helped the man lie down on the bed in the room. The imperial physician had also come over.
Everyone was frightened when they saw this scene, and immediately prepared to help Tan Luan get the arrow.
"Jiu'er! How are you? Are you hurt?"
The Fourth Master came in hurriedly at this moment. Why didn't he come to stop the car from passing through and check it out? Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "What's going on?"
Wen Jiu frowned slightly. "I saw it was getting dark, so I thought about going over to take a look. But I didn't expect there were people lying in wait in the dark. There were more than one person. They seemed to be coming for me."
The Fourth Master frowned deeply: "Can you see clearly who it is?"
Wen Jiu shook his head: "It doesn't look very real. But this matter is really too strange. The Southern Suburbs Grand Sacrifice is imminent. What's the point of assassinating me at this time?
If they are truly enemies, they should know about us two. I am quite skilled. Even if an arrow like this hits me, it would be extremely difficult to kill me. What is the intention of the person who shot the arrow in the dark?
The Fourth Master frowned slightly and looked at Wenjiu. When he realized that he was not injured, he frowned slightly and wondered if it was Guangci.
Wen Jiu was slightly stunned. "Master is right, this is a possibility. Could it be that Guangci wanted to take Tanluan away, found me, and shot the arrow just to distract me so that he could take the opportunity to kidnap her?"
While thinking about this, Wen Jiu frowned and looked at the Fourth Master: "By the way, Master, wasn't Tan Luan right in front of you? How did he come to me? And he suddenly appeared to help me block an arrow."
The Fourth Master's narrow, sword-like brows were still tightly knitted together: "That still doesn't make sense. In fact, Tan Luan had already disappeared half an hour ago.
At that time, I also encountered some difficult problems. The ministers were indignant and said that I was not allowed to move the trees related to Feng Shui.
They also talked about impeaching me. My eldest brother is also a troublemaker. So far, not a single tree has been cut down.
It was a chaotic time, and when I came to my senses, I found that Tan Luan had disappeared. I had just sent people to search everywhere, but I didn't know that he would appear here."
"Master, what's the situation now? Has the timber issue been resolved?"
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Master pursed his lips coldly, "Solve it? They're just waiting to see me make a fool of myself. But there's no rush. I'll just deal with it all at once later, just like you said. The hard part this time is people's hearts."
Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Master is right. But there's no need to worry too much right now. We still have time. Let's go in and take a look. I'm a little worried about the child."
After breathing a sigh of relief, Wenjiu pulled the Fourth Master into the house.
Tan Luan had been placed on the bed today, and the dagger that had pierced his body had been removed by the imperial physician Wang who was traveling with him.
At this moment, blood was gushing from his chest, and a fine layer of sweat had already formed on Doctor Wang's head. He didn't dare to delay even a moment, pressing down hard on his chest. However, the white handkerchief was already stained red by the blood. The room was filled with the smell of blood.
Even Wen Jiu couldn't help but tighten his fingers slightly for a moment.
Fortunately, not long after, Wang Taiyi came to them dragging a medicine box.
"Your Highness, Consort, I have accomplished my mission. This young master is now safe and sound. The hemostatic medicine Consort gave is excellent. The arrow didn't penetrate too deeply into the body. If it had been an inch deeper, even a Daluo Jinxian wouldn't have been able to save him."
After hearing what he said, Wen Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll have to trouble the imperial physician to take care of me during these days." Wenjiu glanced at Liusu beside him as he spoke.
Liusu immediately took out a purse and stuffed it into Doctor Wang's hand.
Doctor Wang immediately said he dared not, until the Fourth Master said firmly: "Take it, just consider it as payment for your hard work during these days. The child will be left in the care of the doctor for the time being."
Doctor Wang said repeatedly, "Of course it is."
…
"Old Eight, you're ridiculous!"
The Eighth Master bent his waist and stretched his aching shoulders. When he entered the house, he was met with the sullen face of his eldest brother.
Mr. Ba frowned instantly: "Brother, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you scolding me right away?"
"Scold you? Even if I scold you, it's still good! Look at what good things you have done. Why are you touching the warm wine at this moment? She is just a woman. Even if she is involved in these things, she doesn't have much control over them. If she really gets into an accident, do you think the Fourth Master will let it go? Given how much the Emperor values her, I'm afraid there will be a thorough investigation this time. What will you do if they find you? What is going on in your head? Why are you getting more and more confused?"
The Eighth Master was completely stunned after being scolded by him. He frowned for a long time before looking at the Prince of Zhi in front of him with disbelief and said, "Brother, what do you mean? When did I touch her to warm the wine?"
"You still don't admit it? Why are you pretending to be like that? Tell the truth!"
The Eighth Master frowned. "She was just sitting in her yard, warming her wine. I've been looking at Old Nine's smug face all afternoon, so why would I bother with her? Besides, why would I touch her? Between grown men, they can plot and scheme, so what does it have to do with women like us? Who do you think I am?"
After thinking about it, Mr. Ba also felt that something was wrong, and his pupils shrank suddenly: "What do you mean, brother? Is there something wrong with the wine?"
Prince Zhi also had a look of suspicion on his face. He frowned slightly and looked at his brother for a long time: "You really don't know about this?"
"What's the matter? Don't keep me in suspense. What happened?" Mr. Ba frowned slightly.
"If it's not you, then who could it be?" Prince Zhi was also a little confused at this moment.
The Eighth Master couldn't help but rub his brows, and then pointed at the eunuch in front of the Prince of Zhi: "A Si, tell me. What's going on?"
Ah Si glanced at Prince Zhi, then lowered his head and explained, "To answer Eighth Master, Concubine Wen was assassinated. She was said to have been shot by two arrows in succession when she wanted to go out to invite the Fourth Prince to dinner. She almost lost her life. Fortunately, someone nearby helped her block one of the arrows."
After saying this, Mr. Ba rubbed his fingers in confusion, and then said, "This shows who she was blocking by warming the wine. But it's true, she is a very annoying person sometimes. Even if she was assassinated, it wouldn't be surprising. She is very lucky to have survived."
Hearing the regretful tone of the Eighth Master, Prince Zhi frowned again, "Old Eighth Master, honestly, it really wasn't you?"
The Eighth Master was also a little anxious when he asked: "Of course it's not me!" He thought for a moment and looked at the Prince of Zhi: "Brother, are you the one crying thief?"
Prince Zhi glared angrily: "What are you talking about? Who do you think I am?"
The Eighth Master was also a little confused for a moment: "If it wasn't you, and it wasn't me, who else could do such a thing in this southern suburbs?"
