Chapter 154 Injury 1
The third prince Chu Yi did not stay in Wanhe Tower for too long.
On the way back, he happened to meet the carriage of the fourth prince Chu Mu.
The two carriages were stuck in the middle of the road, refusing to give way to each other.
Fortunately, this place is very close to the imperial palace and there are almost no pedestrians, otherwise it would definitely attract onlookers.
Everyone in the capital knows that the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince are currently fighting to the death for the throne, and both of them wish the other would die sooner.
The carriages were heading south and north, and there was a stalemate for a moment. Finally, the Fourth Prince got off the carriage first.
He walked to the Third Prince's carriage and asked, "It's not even curfew yet, why are you back so early, my brother?"
The carriage curtains remained motionless.
The helpless voice of the Third Prince came from the carriage.
"I would like to stay outside for a while, but there is a memorial sent by my father on the desk in the study. Now that my father is unwell, I just want to share more of his burdens."
"Unlike my royal brother, he has nothing to worry about and is much more free than me."
The hidden meaning in his words was so obvious, how could the Fourth Prince not understand?
His expression changed several times, and when he spoke again, his tone was somewhat sarcastic.
"My Royal Brother, you should work harder if you are capable. Don't tire yourself out." He suddenly leaned closer to the carriage curtain and chuckled, "I just want to remind you, my Royal Brother, that you can't be too naive. If you think too simply, you might be betrayed without even realizing it."
The curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and the Third Prince looked at him coldly.
"What do you mean?"
"You toiled day and night to relieve the emperor's worries, yet he secretly sent Lu Sui to investigate the looting of grain and fodder."
"Are you sure?" The Third Prince's face changed drastically. "Lu Sui's old illness has clearly relapsed. I saw it with my own eyes that day. He vomited blood..."
"So, we shouldn't be too naive. Lu Sui is cunning and scheming. If his old illness really relapsed, he would just try to cover it up. Why would he expose his weakness in front of you?"
The Third Prince said nothing, but stared at the Fourth Prince, trying to confirm the truthfulness of his words.
The Fourth Prince curled his lips and smiled: "If you don't believe me, my brother can send someone to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to see if Lu Sui is there?"
That night, the third prince sent someone to visit the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
But as soon as he entered, he was forced to flee by the secret guards in the mansion.
He reported the matter to the Third Prince, who did not hesitate any longer and immediately sent a large number of death squads to Pingyang, where the grain and grass were stolen.
At the same time, a large number of death warriors followed closely behind him and rushed towards Pingyang.
----
Ever since she sent the letter last time, Jiang Yueyao has been looking forward to Lu Sui's reply.
A few days ago, she was not in a hurry, thinking that the distance was long and it would take time for the letters to go back and forth.
But on the fifth day, she still hadn't received any word from Lu Sui, and she became a little anxious.
Every time she saw Xiaoxi, she would ask, "Did Lord Lu reply to your letter today?"
Xiaoxi always shook her head.
By the seventh day, not only she was anxious, but Xiaoxi also became secretly anxious.
Seeing that she was getting anxious, Jiang Yueyao not only lost her concentration on work, but she couldn't even eat.
Sulan thought she was unwell, so she touched her forehead several times a day and made sure she didn't have a fever, only then did she feel relieved.
By the tenth day, Jiang Yueyao could no longer sit still.
She went to the Taifu Mansion early in the morning.
When the housekeeper Wang Bo saw her coming, he spoke before she could say anything.
"The mansion hasn't received any letter from the master for several days, and there has been no news."
Perhaps because he saw that Jiang Yueyao was too anxious, Uncle Wang comforted her again.
"Don't worry, young lady. The master always acts cautiously, nothing will happen."
This was said in the morning, and something happened in the afternoon.
At that time, she was sitting behind the counter, absent-mindedly sorting out the account books, when she suddenly saw Xiaoxi rushing in from outside with a serious expression.
She stood up in an instant.
"Is there any news about Lord Lu?"
Xiaoxi stopped in front of her and tried to keep her tone calm: "The master has returned to the capital."
"He's back?" Jiang Yueyao was overjoyed and was about to go out, but was stopped by Xiaoxi.
Jiang Yueyao turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Xiaoxi wanted to say something but stopped herself.
As a secret guard, she always speaks and acts decisively.
Today's abnormality made Jiang Yueyao's heart skip a beat, and she suddenly had a very bad premonition.
She grabbed Xiaoxi's arm, her voice trembling slightly.
"Did something happen to him?"
"The master is injured and has fallen into a coma. Qing Yi is helpless. The emperor has sent the imperial physician... Young lady, please slow down..."
Run out from Wanhe Tower.
Jiang Yueyao even forgot to get on the carriage. She ran towards the Taifu Mansion, with the only four words "falling into coma" in her mind.
Falling into a coma, Qing Yi was helpless.
Qing Yi is a highly skilled doctor. If even he can't cure it, how serious is the injury?
She was in a state of confusion and had completely lost her usual composure.
Until Xiaoxi caught up in a carriage: "Girl, get in."
Jiang Yueyao hurriedly got on the carriage, which carried her towards the Taifu Mansion at a rapid speed.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Taifu Mansion, and Jiang Yueyao jumped down without waiting for the carriage to stop.
She ran all the way into the mansion and ran all the way to Mingyin Hall where Lu Sui lived.
Qingshu was waiting at the gate of the yard. When he saw her running over, he hurriedly stopped her.
He lowered his voice.
"Girl, you can't go in for the time being. The emperor is inside."
Jiang Yueyao grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "How is the master? Is he seriously injured? Is he in danger?"
Qingshu was worried that she would disturb the people in the house, so he quickly pulled her to the yard next door.
Only after closing the door did I feel relieved.
"The Emperor has brought the Imperial Physician with him. He is currently treating the patient inside. I don't know the details of the situation."
When Jiang Yueyao heard him say "I don't know", she felt dizzy.
She closed her eyes and forced herself to stay calm and not panic.
Opening her eyes again, she met Qingshu's worried gaze and slowed down her voice, "Why did he get hurt? Didn't Qingxuan and Qingfeng follow him? They are so powerful in martial arts, how could they..."
"Shortly after arriving in Pingcheng, we encountered an assassination attempt. The enemy sent a large number of assassins, and as soon as one group died, another group came. Qingxuan and the others were seriously injured..."
As Qingshu spoke, his eyes turned red and he choked up and couldn't continue.
Jiang Yueyao then discovered that his left arm was wrapped in white cloth, and there were new wounds on his face and neck...
"You're hurt too."
"Alas, it's all my fault. I'm not good at martial arts and can't protect the master."
"Don't be sad, how can this be blamed on you..." She wanted to say something comforting, but Qingshu was called away.
Before leaving, he instructed him: "Don't come out for the time being. Wait until the emperor leaves, and I will come to call you."
Jiang Yueyao nodded.
She stayed in the yard, waiting and waiting, from mid-afternoon until sunset, before Qingshu came.
"Come here, girl. The emperor has left."
Jiang Yueyao hurriedly followed him out and entered Mingyin Hall.
Qing Yi was the only one in the room.
He held a piece of paper in his hand, on which was a prescription written by the imperial physician. He studied it for a while, crossed out two herbs with a pen, and then ordered someone to boil the medicine.
Jiang Yueyao went straight to the inner room.
As soon as she entered, she was hit by the strong smell of blood and medicine. When she saw Lu Sui lying on the bed, even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked...
