Chapter 498: Climbing

Bei Jingchu was carried into the Prince of Qin's palace, sitting on a sedan chair, and was not willing to get off until he saw the emperor.

The King of Qin was seriously injured in the assassination attempt and has not yet woken up.

The imperial physician was not sure whether he could survive.

After entering, Bei Jing was worried when she saw the situation.

I thought it was a self-torture tactic, but now it doesn't seem like it.

On the bed, the wound on Bei Jingyu's chest was so deep that the bone was visible, and the basin beside him was already bright red.

On the tray in the servant's hand were some arrows that had just been taken out. There were more than one of them, and the arrows were almost pierced into a hedgehog.

The same thing happened to Long Shou when he changed the dressing a few days ago. Fortunately, the only serious injury was on his chest.

I was able to get out of bed recently, and I was clamoring to go back to my job and shine, and not be a useless person who lives off others for free. She scolded me severely for this.

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. How can it be healed in just a few days?

Long Shou is physically strong, but he still suffers like this. Yu Er has been weak since childhood, so I think he must feel even worse.

Bei Jingchu felt a little guilty and glanced at the visible wounds on his body.

Isn't this just a show?

That's who was going to kill her brother.

The emperor, the imperial concubine, and Concubine Zhang were all in the room.

The serious injury of the prince brought out all the elders who were in charge.

Zhang Jieyu stood by, wiping her tears, crying uncontrollably.

"His Majesty!"

She said sadly, "Our Yu'er has always been a well-behaved and obedient child. Even this time when he took your place in the spring ploughing, he was just following your orders. He always did whatever you said, without any disobedience."

"Is it because he is too obedient that he has to suffer this disaster?"

As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Bei Jingchu.

"The murderer is right in front of us. Will Your Majesty just let her go?"

"The prince is your child, but Yu'er is not? My poor Yu'er!"

Bei Jingchu was not frightened by her at all, and immediately explained: "Your Majesty will not be fooled by such an obvious trap."

"Someone with ulterior motives deliberately stirred up internal strife and quarrels among the royal family. I understand that Concubine Zhang is upset for her mother's sake, but Your Majesty cannot fall for the villain's trick and let the real culprit go unpunished."

But Zhang Jieyu refused to let her go, insisting, "Your Highness, you are really good at making excuses. Now the evidence is clearly in front of us, and the assassin has confessed that it was you who ordered it."

"We have all the evidence. If what you said is true, then this is not a case for the whole world to investigate. Are all the evidence false and framed?"

The women in the palace are all shrewd and have great eloquence. Bei Jingchu has experienced this.

But she didn't say anything at this time, because she was not the only cunning person here.

Sure enough, the imperial concubine stopped her from talking.

"Zhang Jieyu, I know that you are overly saddened by the uncertainty of the King of Qin's safety and have lost your mind."

"But the prince is right, and your majesty has not ruled that the prince was responsible. If you keep accusing him, the murderer behind the scenes will be able to take advantage of the situation."

Zhang Jieyu said angrily: "Who is the murderer behind this?"

"Besides her, who else has a grudge against my Yu'er!"

Bei Jingchu knew that she would be involved in a scandal, but Zhang Jieyu's crazy behavior still made her irritated.

At this moment, she felt even more distressed for Yuer who was lying on the bed.

Even she, as her elder sister, felt sorry for her when she came in, but she didn't have the chance to greet her.

As a result, Zhang Jieyu, her biological mother, acted as if she had found a great opportunity and tried to get close to her.

Since she came in, she didn't even look at her unconscious son on the bed.
