Chapter 214: Obstructing the Imperial Physician from Saving People
Thinking of this, she mounted her horse and galloped towards Dongshan, fearing that if she was a step slower, her cousin would lose his wife.
Not long after running, she saw a royal flag moving with the horses ahead. This made her happy, and she rode her horse and ran over.
But before she got close, two guards responsible for outer protection stopped her: "What are you doing?"
"I'm Tang Lian'er, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I'm looking for General Shangguan. Her sister was seriously injured by an arrow while hunting. Could you please help me convey this message quickly?"
The guard was also slightly surprised when he heard it: "Just wait!"
Tang Lian'er felt a little relieved when she saw the guard riding his horse into the hunting ground.
At this time, Shangguan Lan was sitting steadily on his horse with several officials guarding behind, their eyes all looking at the two people, one big and one small, in front of them.
At this time, Mu Xingci was sitting on horseback, teaching the little emperor in his arms to hunt a rabbit.
Just as he was about to take aim, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, which scared the rabbit away. His handsome face immediately darkened, and he turned around and shot at a place not far behind him.
Shangguan Lan and the other officials were also startled by the sudden sound of horse hooves, and quickly turned around to look at the newcomers.
A guard approached and stopped right in front of Shangguan Lan. "General Shangguan, the Prime Minister's daughter just came to tell me that your sister was shot by an arrow and is seriously injured. Do you want to go and see her?"
Shangguan Lan's face changed when he heard this: "What? She was shot!" As he asked, he was about to ride forward, but suddenly he remembered something and turned to look at the Regent who didn't know what had happened.
So he ignored the etiquette and shouted loudly: "Regent, my sister is injured and in danger. I want to go over and take a look." After shouting, without waiting for Mu Xingci to reply, he rode his horse away quickly.
When Mu Xingci heard this, he was also shocked. He put away his bow and arrow, hugged the little emperor in front of him and ran over.
At this time, Yun Wansheng was leaning against a tree, breathing weakly, closing her eyes, and her brows were furrowed in pain.
"Madam Yun, you must not fall asleep. Your elder brother will be here soon." One of the women surrounding her spoke to her.
"The person who hurt her is so despicable. He hurt someone and then dared to run away." Another woman said indignantly.
"Maybe he was scared?" another woman said.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from not far away, which made them naturally look in that direction.
But when they saw this, they were all stunned. Why were there so many people? Was the injury of a general's sister so serious? Moreover, the regent and the little emperor were here too.
Just as he was stunned, those people had already come closer and dismounted from their horses. Mu Xingci put the little emperor on the ground and was about to go forward to see Yun Wansheng, but someone grabbed his wrist.
"Regent, please stand back and don't scare the emperor." Shangguan Lan reminded in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Mu Xingci finally came to his senses and did not move forward: "You go!" The man gritted his teeth to control his worried and frightened heart.
Shangguan Lan took a few quick steps to Yun Wansheng, knelt on one knee, and hugged her in his arms, patting the woman's pale face with trembling hands.
"Little sister! Wake up! Brother is coming."
Yun Wansheng, who was dazed, heard a familiar voice and struggled to open her dazed eyes: "Brother... am I... going to die?"
When Shangguan Lan saw that she woke up, his eyes were slightly moist: "You won't die. I'll take you back to see the doctor right away." As he said that, he picked her up.
Mu Xingci held the little emperor's hand and watched by their side. Seeing his beloved injured like this, but unable to go forward and hug her, he felt extremely painful physically and mentally. The heartache in his eyes could not be concealed even if he tried to hide it.
After watching Shangguan Lan carry the woman onto the horse and leave, he glanced coldly at the young ladies from the official families and asked, "Who among you hurt her?"
"Your Majesty, it wasn't us who hurt Madam Yun. We were trying to corner a sika deer with Madam Yun at the time. When we were about to succeed, we heard someone scream. We ran over to check and found out it was Madam Yun. We then couldn't find the person who hurt her." Tang Lian'er said truthfully.
"Where did Madam Yun get injured?" Mu Xingci continued to ask.
"It's right over there." Tang Lian'er walked over to where Yun Wansheng had fallen. "Judging from the arrow in her back, that person must have shot Madam Yun in the back."
Mu Xingci stood where Yun Wansheng was injured, his eyes looking in that direction towards a small forest not far away, which had a similar terrain to this side.
"Master Yao, go with me to check it out."
Mu Xingci said this and asked the Prime Minister to take care of the little emperor first, and then he went to the woods in front with Yao Cezhi, the Minister of the Supreme Court.
After searching for a while, the two people actually found a woman's earring and a horse's hoof print.
Mu Xingci clutched the earrings in his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
On the other side, Shangguan Lan brought Yun Wansheng to the foot of the mountain and placed her directly in his tent. Then he ordered someone to find the imperial physician waiting in the camp.
He looked anxiously at the woman lying on her side on the bed. The arrow on her back had not been pulled out yet. He also knew that the arrow could not be pulled out casually, otherwise her life would be in danger.
"Little sister, little sister, wake up!" Shangguan Lan called softly, fearing that she would fall into a coma.
Yun Wansheng had fallen into a coma at this time and could not hear anyone calling her.
Just when Shangguan Lan was getting anxious, the imperial physician finally arrived.
After a careful examination, the imperial physician sighed, "The arrow hit this girl right in the heart. Her heart is very weak. If her heart is seriously injured, her life is in danger."
"Imperial Physician, my sister must not be in any danger. Please save her no matter what. As long as you can save her, I will definitely remember your great kindness." Shangguan Lan said with a pleading look on his face.
"General Shangguan, please don't say that. I will do my best to treat your sister." The imperial physician said, and began to prepare some steps to remove the arrow.
Just as Shangguan Lan was watching the imperial physician prepare to treat him, she suddenly saw the young lady from the Imperial Preceptor rush in: "Imperial Physician, something bad has happened. My father has fainted. Please go and see him."
"Ah? This!" The imperial physician looked at the woman on the bed at a loss.
"Imperial Physician, why are you still standing there? If you delay my father's treatment, I will not forgive you." A trace of viciousness flashed in Lin Yao's eyes.
"Miss Lin, my younger sister's life is in danger here too. Please wait until the imperial physician finishes treating my younger sister before letting him see the Grand Tutor." Shangguan Lan certainly couldn't let the imperial physician leave like this.
"General Shangguan, how can your sister's life be compared with my father's. Imperial physician, come with me! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences." Lin Yao raised the corners of her mouth with a hint of arrogance.
