When Hu Ke brought Jiawang in, he had already come out from the inner room.
The moment he saw Jiawang, his heart jumped into his throat.
"Jiawang, what brings you here? What happened?"
It's the middle of the night, and it's raining, so Jiawang wouldn't come looking for him for no reason.
Jiawang's eyes were red, and he choked up.
"My older sister has been poisoned. My father asked me to invite you to come and take a look."
Upon hearing this, his nerves tensed instantly, and his entire face contorted in pain.
"Hu Ke, prepare the horses."
He rode his horse like a madman, arriving at the Luo family's new residence a step ahead of Jiawang.
At this moment, Luo Zhiwan had already fainted three times from the pain, but Luo Tianhe's hands still did not stop.
He had to be ruthless to save his daughter's life.
He didn't even dare to look up at her, afraid that he would feel sorry for her.
“Zhiwan…”
When Leng Chuchen rushed in, Luo Tianhe paused for a moment, but then continued cutting the flesh around the hidden weapon, which had already turned black.
Seeing the scene before him, Leng Chuchen felt as if all the blood in his body rushed to his head.
He rushed to the bedside, looked at Luo Zhiwan's pale face, and, with heartache, shed tears while tightly holding her hand.
"Zhiwan, what's wrong?"
But Zhiwan no longer had the strength to speak to him. She looked at him blankly and gently shook her head.
Zhiruo took two steps forward, her voice trembling, and whispered:
“An assassin came just now, and my sister was shot by him. She said that if the poison isn’t cleared in time, she won’t survive.”
At this point, Zhi Ruo couldn't help but sob, while Leng Chu Chen gritted her teeth in hatred.
He could guess that the only person who could find this place to assassinate Zhiwan and use poison was Rouge.
He immediately gritted his teeth in hatred.
After another half incense stick's time, Luo Tianhe finally took out the hidden weapon. Zhiruo pressed the wound with the disinfectant cotton she had prepared in advance, and the cotton was instantly stained with bright red blood.
Zhi Ruo changed to another piece of cotton. Seeing this, Leng Chu Chen took the cotton from her and pressed it onto her wound.
Seeing the blood flowing out continuously, he felt heartbroken and kept shedding tears.
Fortunately, he had a strong grip, and the amount of blood flowing out through the cotton swab gradually decreased.
But he didn't dare to relax for a moment. All night long, his hand never left her wound, and he kept pressing it hard.
Daylight broke, the rain stopped, the air outside was much fresher, and the willow branches and leaves were much greener.
However, the people inside the house did not sleep all night.
Zhiwan was unconscious all night. At dawn, Leng Chuchen said to Luo Tianhe:
"Uncle Luo, I have arranged a carriage. I need to take her back to the Crown Prince's residence and find the imperial physician to bandage her wounds."
Although Luo Tianhe was very worried about her, he also knew that cleaning off the poisoned flesh from her body was only the first step. If the wound was not treated properly, it could easily become infected.
As the most skilled physician in the Celestial Empire, the Imperial Physician was clearly the most suitable person to treat Zhiwan.
He nodded immediately.
"Alright, then I'll leave Zhiwan to you."
Looking at Luo Tianhe's reddened eyes, he said again:
"Otherwise, you may come back to the manor with me, so as not to worry about her."
Luo Tianhe hurriedly shook his head.
"I won't go. Let her mother and Zhiruo go. It will be more convenient for them to have two people taking care of her."
Originally, considering Zhiruo's poor health, Jiawang's mother did not want Zhiruo to go with them, but Zhiruo was worried about Zhiwan and insisted on going, so Jiawang's mother nodded in agreement.
Luo Tianhe and Jiawang stayed behind, while Jiawang's mother and Zhiruo, along with Yiming, followed the carriage that Leng Chuchen had prepared in advance to the Crown Prince's residence.
Meanwhile, the imperial physician had arrived at the Crown Prince's residence, and people from the palace also came after receiving the news.
However, while they ostensibly came to show concern for Luo Zhiwan, they were actually there to gather information.
Leng Chuchen stayed by Luo Zhiwan's side the whole time, watching the imperial physician clean her wounds and bandage her, feeling heartbroken.
Even the imperial physicians lamented that if the poisoned flesh of the wound had not been cleaned in time, the poison would have already spread throughout her body, and she would have died by tomorrow.
Upon hearing this news, Leng Chuchen felt a chill run down her spine and a wave of fear wash over her.
He looked at Luo Zhiwan, who was pale and unconscious, clenched his fists, and his knuckles cracked.
After seeing the imperial physician off, he instructed Li Ping and Hu Ke:
"I'll stay here and guard this place every step of the way, and then I'll go to the palace."
Hu Ke hurriedly called out to him,
"Your Highness, you're not going to ask the Empress, are you?"
"Hmph! Someone who knows how to use hidden weapons, knows how to use poison, and wants to kill her—I can't think of anyone else but her."
"But you have no evidence. If you ask rashly, won't you anger the Empress?"
"I can't worry about that anymore. If I don't make things clear to them, they'll do it again next time. Who can guarantee that Zhiwan will always be alright?"
Leaving those words behind, he tossed his robes and strode out of the Crown Prince's residence, heading straight for the palace.
Upon learning that Luo Zhiwan had been seriously injured, Wei Changle was overjoyed.
She couldn't wait to rush to Donghui Courtyard to see what was going on, but was stopped by Li Ping and Hu Ke.
“Princess Chang Le, His Highness gave an order before he left that no one is allowed to enter this place.”
"I heard Miss Luo was injured, so I came to see her. What? You won't even let me in? The people of the Crown Prince's residence are so unreasonable!"
"Miss Luo is still unconscious, Princess Chang Le, please return!"
Although Hu Ke and Li Ping had already told him to leave, Wei Changle showed no sign of backing down and even took two steps forward.
"This princess insists on entering! Get out of my way!"
Li Ping and Hu Ke were in a bit of a dilemma. After all, she was a foreign princess, and even the emperor had to give her some face, let alone the two of them, the guards.
