Chapter 187 Jade Purity Pill
Minister Qiao immediately said, "Okay, I'll send someone to go with you and make sure to invite Master Yun here."
Fortunately, when Yanyan wanted to give him Yuqing Dan as a birthday gift on Wanshou Festival, he refused.
Now, it comes in handy.
Not many people in the capital knew Yun Yao's true identity. The Qiao family deliberately concealed this matter because they did not want to cause a sensation and unnecessary trouble.
The miracle doctor in Pharmacist Valley is famous throughout the world, but he lives in seclusion and many people who seek medical treatment cannot find him.
If people knew that the miracle doctor's sister was in the Shangshu Mansion, I'm afraid people seeking medical treatment would flock to the Shangshu Mansion.
He Zhiyu threatened in a deep voice, "If even a word of what happened today gets out, I will definitely not let him go."
The people present included Minister Qiao and his wife, Prince Jing, Jiang Qiyun and Lu Jinye, as well as the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
These words were spoken to Imperial Physician Chen. Imperial Physician Chen had been in the palace for many years and naturally knew what the prince was referring to.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will obey your orders."
He Yanli said, "The poison cannot be cured, the arrow should be pulled out immediately. We will go out first, you must take good care of her arrow wound."
The female doctor immediately nodded and replied, "Yes."
On the other side, someone also came to report.
The wound on the chest of Xiling Prince was not fatal, and he only needed to take good care of the wound and rest. However, like Qiao Wanyan, he was drugged.
Everyone present had a solemn look on their faces, and Minister Qiao glanced at the prince out of the corner of his eye.
If only Yanyan was drugged, it might have something to do with Prince Xiling.
But at this moment, both of them were drugged, and there was an assassin waiting in the dark. The assassin only took action after the prince appeared. This was to use Yanyan and Prince Xiling to lure the prince forward.
Thinking of this, Minister Qiao's face was still filled with worry, but the hostility that flashed across his eyes revealed his extreme murderous intent.
Jin refused to go out and stayed behind. Her hands were shaking and her heart was in a knot, but she refused to go out.
Minister Qiao was afraid that she would faint from excitement after seeing her daughter suffer, but Jin refused to leave no matter what. She stayed aside, holding Qiao Wanyan's hand, not saying a word or leaving, so as not to delay the doctor from treating the arrow wound.
Lu Jinye was standing at the door with no emotion on his face. His arm was in excruciating pain at this moment, just like the last time Qiao Wanyan was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
Qiao Wanyan seemed to have fainted, but he was not. He was conscious and felt the pain in his arm, but there was still no expression on his face, as if he didn't feel it.
This is what he deserves.
He deserved the consequences for not protecting her.
For the first time, Jiang Qiyun was as quiet as a statue in front of everyone. He stood in the distance and looked at the closed palace door with mixed feelings.
This was the first time she trusted me so much and I hoped I could stay and protect her.
But I failed to protect her and betrayed her trust.
He Zhiyu took a deep look at the palace door and said, "I will report my father's guilt today. Miss Qiao will report to me immediately if she has any follow-up matters."
Everyone here can stay here, but he is the only one who can't at this moment.
Such a big thing happened in Shanglin Paddock, he cannot help but bear the consequences.
When He Zhiyu left, he glanced at He Yanli and saw that he looked calm but pale as paper. He stared at the closed palace door and then looked away.
After walking a long way, He Zhiyu suddenly turned around and glanced at Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan felt a chill on his back for a moment when he received that cold gaze, as if he had fallen into a vortex of fear and could not escape.
He lowered his head, knowing why His Highness was looking at him like that.
It was because I pulled His Highness back that Miss Qiao was injured.
But he did not regret doing this. His Highness's life was more important than anyone else's. He was His Highness's personal bodyguard, and he had to do this even if it meant losing his life!
"If she survives, you can survive, too. If she dies, I will kill you too."
Jing Yuan nodded, "I will follow your Highness's order."
He Zhiyu withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward. There was no warmth in his tone, so cold that it made people's scalp tingle.
"Go and receive the two hundred lashes yourself. After the lashing, kneel outside the Qiongde Palace."
Jingyuan: "Yes, Your Highness."
At the corner, He Zhiyu supported himself against the wall with one hand, took a deep breath, and felt exhausted and powerless.
If I had known this, I should not have brought her into the forest.
After calming down, he continued to head towards the palace where the emperor was.
It was his fault that there was an assassin in the forest farm and he had not checked it out. His father would not ignore the result just because the forest farm was hundreds of acres large and difficult to check. Ultimately, he could not escape this responsibility.
Therefore, he is to blame for causing Wanyan's injury.
Su Xiao walked out of the palace, "Your Highness, the Emperor wants you to come in."
He Zhiyu walked into the hall, and the door of the hall was closed from the outside.
The hall was extremely quiet, and the sound of light footsteps felt like drumbeats on one's heart.
He Zhiyu knelt on the ground and said, "I failed to check the safety of the forest farm, which led to such a serious incident. I hope that the emperor will punish me."
A few rays of light shone in through the carved window lattices, illuminating the book in the emperor's hands.
Wisps of green smoke rose from the incense burner, and the rich fragrance of sandalwood filled the air, making the already heavy hall even more solemn.
The emperor did not speak for a long time until the bird in the cage cried in the distance. Then he finally closed the book and set his eyes on the prince.
"Who is the target of these assassins?"
He Zhiyu said truthfully: "The assassin's original target was my son. But I have too many guards around me, so the target..."
He paused, "The target was towards the Xiling Crown Prince, but I know that the Xiling Crown Prince had fainted in a secret place at that time. An assassin found him but did not take action. He was waiting for me to go and assassinate him secretly. Their target is still me."
The emperor's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry. "He went to the Xiling prince? Are you sure you didn't go to the Qiao family's daughter?"
Can you hook the prince by using the Prince of Xiling?
In order to achieve their goals, assassins will use all the people and things they can use. People with weaknesses are most likely to be targeted and found an entry point.
"The Crown Prince cannot have weaknesses. I hope you can understand this."
He Zhiyu defended himself, "I didn't do that. Those assassins only knew that Miss Wan...Miss Qiao Er was my savior, so they used her to lure me out."
The emperor said nothing more and stopped there.
"Minister Qiao will not let it go if the Qiao family's daughter is injured. He dotes on his daughter to no end. The lives of his wife and daughter are more important than anything else in his eyes. You need to shut him up and give him an explanation."
He Zhiyu said: "Don't worry, father, I will handle this matter properly."
The emperor nodded slightly, "You did a good job in the death of Princess Xiling."
