Su Shunci was completely unaware of the arrow behind him, but Feicui was a martial artist, and her face suddenly changed.
The two were only three or five meters apart when Feicui leaped up and protected Su Shunci under her.
"Fourth Miss, be careful."
"puff!"
As soon as Feicui finished speaking, she spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Seeing this, Jiang Qi, who was not far away, looked gloomy. He bent down and drew his bow. After taking a few steps back, he shot the arrow towards the flickering figure in the tree outside the courtyard wall.
In an instant, the man fell to his death.
Su Shunci had already turned around and frantically supported Feicui, "Feicui, don't be afraid, the doctor is inside."
Then Su Shunci turned around and shouted, "Doctor Zhang, come quickly, hurry up."
She screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice changing into a different tone.
At this time, Feicui was leaning against Su Shunci with her last breath. Black blood flowed from the corners of her lips to her neck, and her face was pale and bloodless.
Su Shunci grabbed her cold hand and said in a trembling voice, "Fei Cui, why are you so stupid? You blocked the arrow for me, do you want to die?"
Her eyes were blurry and she couldn't see the jade clearly. She only felt that the hand she was holding was getting colder and colder.
Su Shunci didn't dare to think about what to do if something happened to the jade.
At this time, Doctor Zhang also trotted out. He first picked up the ginseng slices on the ground and handed them to the little maid beside him. "Quick, give one to Zhang Li who is lying inside."
Immediately afterwards, Doctor Zhang half-knelt on the ground and took Feicui's pulse to check his injuries.
Jiang Qi could tell at a glance that the arrow in the jade's back was highly poisonous. If Mr. Zhou were there, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
But Doctor Zhang is just an ordinary court physician, and I’m afraid he doesn’t have such great abilities.
Jiang Qi thought for a moment and whispered to a guard, "Go and invite the Third Madam over."
This kind of thing cannot be concealed. If something really happened to Feicui, he felt that they should see each other for the last time.
At this time, Doctor Zhang took her pulse, shook his head and said, "Fourth Miss, I'm afraid I can't do anything."
Su Shunci was stunned. What did he mean by powerless? Wasn't he a doctor? Aren't the Shen family's doctors highly skilled? How could he be powerless?
She cried and grabbed Doctor Zhang, "You are a doctor, please save her and prescribe some medicine for her."
"She's still breathing. You can't just stand by and watch her die."
Doctor Zhang knew that she had lost her mind due to excessive grief, so he could only gently advise her, "Fourth Miss, if Mr. Zhou were still here, there might still be hope, but today..."
Today the Shen family was surrounded, and Mr. Zhou was in the palace, so he was completely out of reach.
Su Shunci stared blankly at the direction of the courtyard gate, and for the first time deeply experienced what despair was.
Feicui suddenly exerted some strength while holding Su Shunci's hand. Su Shunci immediately looked at her and said, "Feicui, don't worry. I will definitely find a way to save you."
Feicui's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but Su Shunci didn't hear anything.
She quickly leaned over, moved closer and said, "Jade, I'm listening to what you have to say."
Feicui's weak voice reached Su Shunci's ears intermittently, "Fourth Miss...you are the apple of his eye. I...I have done one last thing for him."
Su Shunci thought she was talking about Su Qingyu, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Feicui continue, "The third cousin is a good match, and the fourth lady is going to catch him."
"Miss Fourth promised me that you and your third cousin would be well and happy together."
At this moment, Su Shunci's thoughts were in a mess, and he just subconsciously followed Feicui's words and said, "I promise you, I promise you everything."
The corners of Jade's lips rose slightly, as if a worry had been put to rest.
Suddenly, there was a sound of messy footsteps coming from the direction of the inner courtyard. Su Shunci turned around and saw a crowd of people walking towards her, surrounding Su Qingyu.
Su Shunci couldn't stop crying, "Big sister..."
He choked and cried out, but couldn't say the rest.
Su Qingyu glanced at Feicui, her eyes instantly reddening. But she forced herself to remain calm, walked over to Doctor Zhang, and asked, "Have you treated the back injury? Can you give me some antidote first?"
Doctor Zhang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be of much use. Miss Feicui was just shot by the arrow when the poison took effect. It's clearly a highly toxic substance."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to find an antidote in a short time."
Su Qingyu said in a deep voice: "Doctor Zhang, you just need to find a way to keep her alive. Let's wait for Mr. Zhou to come back."
Doctor Zhang went to write a prescription while Su Qingyu went to see Feicui. Zhenzhu was hugging Feicui, crying like a tearful person. The others who were waiting on Su Qingyu were also sobbing with their hands over their mouths.
Su Qingyu raised her head and wiped away the tears in her eyes, then told Jiang Qi to carry the jadeite to an empty room nearby.
Su Shunci stood there in a daze, watching Jiang Qi carry the jade into the room, and watching Su Qingyu following behind, with a huge hatred rising in his heart.
Use poison? Then she would let them taste poison.
Su Shunci did not go to see the jadeite, but turned and ran west to Mr. Zhou's residence in the Shen family.
Mr. Zhou was previously named King of Qi and given the former Li family residence. The Ministry of Works had completed renovations two months ago, but Mr. Zhou hadn't moved out yet.
Su Shunci had been to Mr. Zhou before and knew that he had a cabinet full of poisons.
At that time, Mr. Zhou also told her not to touch those things.
At this time, Su Shunci was filled with hatred and wanted to avenge Feicui. So after entering, he directly put Mr. Zhou's poison in a bundle.
After wrapping everything, she quickly walked to the door.
On the towering courtyard wall of the Shen family, some guards were lying on the wall with bows and arrows, while others were fighting with the attacking rebels.
