Chapter 265 Dilemma
The good news is that the emperor is fine.
The bad news is that Jiang Xuan was seriously injured in order to protect the prince.
"...I saw Jiang Xuan. He was badly injured and was being carried on a spring stool, but he was still able to recognize me. He told me..." Xiao Yan's lips moved, and he spoke with some difficulty, "He said not to tell Zhao Zhao."
Daya burst into tears.
Lu Qiniang also cried, "Lao Hu! Go find Lao Hu and ask him to help save people."
Doctor Hu is really unlucky. Knowing her as a friend, he always has to help her deal with endless problems.
"I had already made all the arrangements before I came back." Xiao Yan said, "Divine Doctor Hu has already rushed to the Jiang residence. I asked him to tell the Jiang family that I asked him to go. Then I came back to tell you."
He thought a lot and finally decided to tell Daya.
"Zhao Zhao, I'm going to look for the deaf man Lei now," Xiao Yan said. "Before the city wall is sealed off, I'm going to take him there to see if there are any clues. Helping with the investigation is secondary. The main thing is, if the investigation leads to us, we might need to prove ourselves."
Lei Longzi is good at gunpowder, maybe he can find some clues.
"Dad, please go quickly." Daya suppressed her grief and sadness, "I will take good care of the family."
"I'm here too!" Yun Ting said, "Xiao Yan, see if you can arrange for Zhao Zhao to go see Jiang Xuan. She's at home and doesn't know anything. She's too anxious."
"Yes." Erya said, "If it's not appropriate for Big Sister to go alone, Yun Ting and I will accompany her."
Although coming to the house unmarried is criticized, but at this critical moment of life and death, who can care about so many things?
"I thought so too." Xiao Yan said, "Zhao Zhao, you pack up. By the time I take Lei Longzi to deal with it, it will probably be daybreak. I'll take you to the Jiang Mansion to see Jiang Xuan."
"No, Dad, no need." Daya said in a deep voice, "Go and do your own thing. I'm not going to the Jiang family."
She really wanted to go, and even wished she could grow wings and fly to Jiang Xuan.
But if she goes, what help can she provide?
At least at this stage of rescue, she can't help at all.
So what did she get in return?
In return, you will be criticized by others.
It would be fine if she could bear it herself, but she would have to implicate her parents and two younger sisters.
My two younger sisters have not yet been betrothed.
She couldn't let her family's reputation be affected because of her own selfishness.
She is waiting at home.
If there is further news, she will decide what to do.
At that time, perhaps she would choose to visit Jiang Xuan, or even accompany him - if those things were meaningful to Jiang Xuan, she would be willing to advance the wedding date, keep everything simple, and stay by his side with good reason.
"Daya, why don't you go?" Lu Qiniang said, "You'd be worried sick at home."
"Mom, Dr. Hu is gone. We are waiting for his news. And now, there are other things to deal with. Dad, I want to talk to you alone."
Xiao Yan took Daya out.
Daya then told the prince about her encounter with him today and his strange attitude towards her.
"Father, I suspect the Crown Prince believes you and I are both members of the Prince of Yan's faction. I'm very confused right now and can't think through how to handle this matter, but you know what's going on."
"Okay, I get it. Zhaozhao, don't be stubborn. If you feel bad, just tell your mother and cry it out. As for Jiang Xuan, Doctor Hu will do his best to treat him. You know, although he has a bad mouth, he is not vague when it matters. He has watched you grow up, and even if he doesn't feel sorry for Jiang Xuan, he will feel sorry for you. For your sake, he will do his best."
"I know. Dad, go quickly. You don't have to worry about anything else." Daya said, "Zhang Heyao sent people to seal the warehouse. It's okay for now. Let's wait and see how things develop."
Xiao Yan nodded and hurried out to look for Lei the Deaf.
Lu Qiniang didn't know what had happened. She only knew that someone had used gunpowder to blow up the city wall to assassinate the emperor, and Jiang Xuan was seriously injured as a result.
Xiao Yan didn't come back until noon.
He looked very tired.
"Xiao Yan, what happened?" Lu Qiniang walked up to him and asked anxiously.
"We found some clues over there with Deaf Lei."
Lei Longzi said that such strong gunpowder was comparable to the gunpowder his brother used to blast rocks.
Moreover, no one expected that the gunpowder was not hidden at the base of the tower, but on the tower itself.
However, a huge amount of gunpowder is needed to achieve this explosion effect.
No one knows how those people managed to secretly bring the gunpowder up under layers of strict inspections.
Although the emperor had been prepared for this, he had only thought that the rebels would detonate the bomb under the city wall, so he sent many people to wait below to capture them.
result--
The direction was completely wrong, which almost led to my accident.
The emperor acknowledged that it was the prince that Jiang Xuan protected with his body, and did not mention the prince's substitute.
The emperor has sent the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to treat Jiang Xuan with all their strength.
But the imperial doctors were helpless and could only keep him alive with ginseng soup.
Doctor Hu did have some ideas, but they were risky, so the imperial physicians disapproved of them.
Doctor Hu and the imperial physicians argued until their faces turned red and their necks became thick.
But the disagreement still persists – the imperial physician seeks stability.
As long as the person can survive for now, he can report to the emperor.
As for the possibility that he might never wake up in the future or cause irreparable damage, they didn't consider that.
What Doctor Hu was thinking about was to do his best to save people.
If I can only remain in the state of a living dead in the future, I might as well take a risk and give it a try.
Everyone is happy if the person is rescued.
Death is a cleansing act, saving you from long-lasting torture.
The problem now is that the people of the Jiang family are only willing to listen to the opinions of the imperial physicians and are unwilling to accept the treatment of Dr. Hu. They even think that Dr. Hu is a charlatan.
Doctor Hu was also very angry.
He told Xiao Yan that if he didn't feel sorry for Daya, with his temper, he would have quit long ago.
He asked Xiao Yan to find a solution.
Xiao Yan said to Daya, "I don't have any other options. Zhao Zhao, even though I used to be Jiang Xuan's superior and am now Jiang Xuan's father-in-law, I can't easily make a decision on this matter."
That involved Jiang Xuan's life and death.
"Dad, I know. Let me think about it."
How is Daya's situation different from Xiao Yan's?
Jiang Xuan's situation is like a person with a terminal illness. At this time, whether you choose palliative treatment or active treatment, it is easy to regret it.
People always beautify the road not traveled.
If the outcome is likely to be bad, you will regret it no matter which choice you make.
As for Daya, she did nothing wrong.
It is also Jiang Xuan's honor to be loyal to the emperor and the prince.
So as long as Daya remains silent, no matter whether Jiang Xuan lives or dies, no one will be able to blame her.
But if Daya were to participate in Jiang Xuan's treatment, she would easily be blamed by the Jiang family and the world in the future.
