After a moment of silence, Shen Yunjiao asked, "Has His Majesty been informed?"
"The bamboo leaves are gone."
"That's good then." Shen Yunjiao nodded and continued to take care of Yan Shiman, who was still unconscious, but in her heart she thought that this matter was probably not so simple.
Everyone in Dayong knows that Prince Guangping loves his wife dearly, and now that he has left the hospital, his family is in trouble.
It's hard for outsiders not to connect this with the series of purges launched by the new emperor after his ascension to the throne.
It should be noted that Prince Guangping was the only person in the court who openly opposed the new emperor's new policies.
With the Prince's residence suddenly attacked, people outside will surely speculate whether it was a deliberate scheme by the new emperor.
The Prince of Guangping would be furious if he found out, as he was the only prince besides the Prince of Runan and the Prince of Rui who had his own army and salt fields.
He's a tricky person.
While Shen Yunjiao was still deep in thought, the carriage had already arrived at its destination.
After they got out of the car, Bei Feng carefully placed Yan Shiman on the couch in his room before stepping back a few steps and standing behind Shen Yunjiao.
Shen Yunjiao sat next to Yan Shiman, first taking his pulse again, then taking out several silver needles to perform acupuncture on Yan Shiman to remove the poison.
“Shi Man just lost a lot of blood. Fu Xia, hurry back to the Wen'an Hall to get medicine. Tell Cai Wei to get the blood-nourishing formula.”
Shen Yunjiao then turned the needle in her hand and looked up to instruct Fu Xia.
It's unclear where the needle touched Yan Shiman, but he unconsciously frowned and groaned.
Beifeng's expression immediately turned tense. "How is the young master?"
Shen Yunjiao comforted him, "It's alright, he'll wake up soon."
Half an hour passed, and as Shen Yunjiao slowly withdrew the silver needles from Yan Shiman's body, he slowly woke up.
As soon as Yan Shiman opened his eyes, he saw two people sitting on the bed.
He blinked, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "What... what's going on?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt weak and sore all over, as if he had been run over by a carriage.
When Bei Feng saw that he had finally woken up, the huge weight in his heart was finally lifted.
He turned around and solemnly apologized to Shen Yunjiao, "Miss, I'm sorry, I was impolite just now, that's why I thought of stopping you."
Shen Yunjiao waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Seeing that both of them looked relieved, Yan Shiman found it even stranger.
He struggled to sit up, but Beifeng stepped forward and pressed down on his shoulder. "Don't move."
The sound of the north wind carried a rare hint of gentleness, which startled Yan Shiman slightly.
Shen Yunjiao raised an eyebrow and asked him, "Yan Shiman, did you know that the silver needles that the assassin shot were poisoned? You just recklessly rushed in to save the beauty."
Yan Shiman then remembered why he had fainted.
It turned out that she had fainted because she was poisoned while trying to save Beifeng.
However, judging from their expressions, I think I can be saved.
Yan Shi's face flushed, and she said with a somewhat unfocused gaze, "I... I just like people who help those in need."
“If it were a bamboo leaf, I would pounce on it too.”
Fearing that Beifeng might misunderstand, Yan Shiman quickly added another sentence.
Bei Feng's expression was very calm. After thanking Shen Yunjiao again, he lowered his head and asked Yan Shiman softly where she felt unwell.
Yan Shiman shook his head and said he was thirsty.
Beifeng immediately got up to pour him some water.
The two of them are getting along quite well now.
Shen Yunjiao thought that she shouldn't be a fool and stay there as a third wheel, so she should leave quickly and leave some space for the two of them to be alone.
So she said, "In that case, I'll go back first. If anything happens, Beifeng, you can come to Wen'an Hall or Shen Mansion to find me."
Yan Shiman nodded, and after a great effort, sat up and smiled at Chen Yunjiao, "Yunjiao, we're so lucky to have you this time."
"Don't be so polite with me," Shen Yunjiao nodded, her eyes filled with a gentle light.
At this moment, Zhu Ye entered the room, bowed to Shen Yunjiao and Yan Shiman, and said, "Your Highness, the bodies of the assassins have been transported to the Imperial Clan Court. I must now return to the palace to report to His Majesty."
Yan Shiman nodded. "Has the Prince of Guangping returned?"
Zhu Ye said, "He's back. The prince originally wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor, but the princess seemed to be unwell, so he didn't go."
“Princess Consort of Guangping? I remember she seems to be pregnant.” Shen Yunjiao had a bad feeling. “Should I go and check on her? Maybe she was frightened today.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Shiman said anxiously, "Yun Jiao, you should go and take a look. If something happens to the Princess Consort, Prince Guangping will probably cause chaos in the court."
Shen Yunjiao had also heard about the Prince of Guangping's personality; he had a very fiery temper. Even when Emperor Zhaowu was alive, he treated him with kindness, afraid that the prince would get angry if she said the wrong thing.
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
“Miss Chen, let me take you there.”
Zhu Ye led Shen Yunjiao to the gate of the Guangping Prince's Mansion, where a dozen soldiers in armor were pacing back and forth.
Who goes there?
As soon as they approached the gate, the guards pointed their spears at Chen Yunjiao and Zhu Ye's chests and asked in an unfriendly tone.
"How dare you be so disrespectful to the daughter of the Prime Minister's family!" Zhu Ye shouted. "I just came out of the manor and have important matters to report to the Prince. Go and inform him immediately that the young master's guards and Lord Shen Qinghuai's younger sister are requesting an audience."
The guard whispered a few words to his companion, then turned back to the two of them and said, "His Highness has ordered that everyone entering the palace must be thoroughly investigated. Please forgive any offense caused. I will inform His Highness immediately."
"Of course." Shen Yunjiao looked through the door and saw that the inside was indeed in chaos, with bloodstains everywhere.
After a while, a fellow soldier guarding the gate came over and said to the two men standing at the gate, "Sorry, His Highness said he won't see them."
After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Zhu Ye immediately called out to him, "Young brother, you told the prince that this matter is of great importance and we have no choice but to report it today."
Unexpectedly, the soldier shook his head and refused, saying, "My princess is in grave danger, and the prince is sending someone to the palace at top speed to fetch a divine physician. How can I possibly concern myself with such matters?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunjiao quickly stepped forward and said loudly, "Go tell the Prince that I have a way to save him."
The soldier was stunned. He saw the stunningly beautiful woman carrying a gilded brocade box and didn't know how to refuse her.
Shen Yunjiao insisted, "Just tell your prince and princess that Shen Yunjiao can save her."
"If this succeeds, you will have done a great service. Hurry up and go!" Zhu Ye urged impatiently from the side.
The soldier felt that Shen Yunjiao's expression was calm and she didn't seem like someone who would bluff, so he immediately turned around and ran to report to the prince.
Sure enough, after a while he brought over an old woman who looked quite old.
Upon seeing Shen Yunjiao, the old woman excitedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Shen, my young lady said you should come over quickly."
The old woman had also heard of Shen Yunjiao's superb medical skills; it was Shen Yunjiao who diagnosed her daughter's pregnancy.
When the princess heard that Shen Yunjiao had arrived, she quickly sent her over to invite her.
"Granny, where is the Princess?"
"Please come with me to the main house, young lady."
Shen Yunjiao followed the nanny inside, while Zhuye stayed at the door to wait.
The old woman walked quickly, recounting the whole story to Shen Yunjiao as she went.
It turns out that after the assassination attempt on the Prince's residence today, the Prince rushed back from the salt fields on horseback.
Upon arriving home and seeing rivers of blood everywhere, he lost his temper and drew his sword, intending to rush into the palace to confront the new emperor.
Princess Guangping tried to stop her, but unexpectedly suffered abdominal pain and bleeding.
"Oh, the blood was being poured out one basin after another. It broke my heart to see it." The old woman wiped away her tears and led Shen Yunjiao to the master's courtyard.
Before she even entered the room, Shen Yunjiao saw the maids carrying out basins of bloody water.
Prince Guangping, sitting on the bed, held the princess's hand and roared, "Incompetent doctor! If you cannot protect the princess and the child in her womb, I will make your entire family pay with their lives!"
