"King! The court doctor is here!"
Lin Lang shouted and ran in with the court doctor.
The court doctor was panting and frowned when he saw the arrow stuck in Wen Muchen's back.
"Doctor, thank you for your help. Please try to remove this arrow while saving his life. The arrowhead has a barb, so it will take some effort."
Ying Xixi handed the arrow to the court doctor.
When the court doctor saw it, his expression became even more solemn.
"Don't worry, my king. I will do my best."
Ying Xixi couldn't bear to watch the court doctor cutting out Wen Muchen's flesh and removing the arrow, so she went to the door.
Just then, the secret guard came back with an assassin.
"Please forgive me, my lord. I only caught this assassin. The other three got away!"
"Take him away for interrogation. If he refuses to answer, torture him!"
Ying Xixi ordered in a cold voice.
"yes!"
Ying Xixi stood with her hands behind her back, looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and sighed.
"Sun Lin, tell me what happened just now."
"yes."
Sun Lin briefly described the previous scene. She had her back to Ying Xixi and Wen Muchen, and actually didn't know that Wen Muchen had blocked an arrow for Ying Xixi.
It was only when Lin Lang exclaimed that she turned her head and saw it.
"Your Majesty, I was careless in shooting that arrow. If your husband hadn't blocked it for you..."
Sun Lin knelt down in frustration.
“This prince did not expect that an assassination would occur in Prince Xi’s mansion, especially since this happened when I was tired tonight.
If it weren't for Lin Lang's exclamation and Wen Muchen fainting on top of me, I probably wouldn't have woken up yet."
Ying Xixi rubbed her eyebrows.
"Give orders to strengthen the palace's defenses. I don't want assassinations to happen again."
"yes!"
Ying Xixi stood at the door for a while, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
Tonight’s assassination...is it related to Wen Muchen?
Was it really such a coincidence that she was sleeping so soundly that she didn't even notice the assassin coming to kill her?!
And the assassin just happened to choose to kill her tonight when she came to Wen Muchen's courtyard?!
She didn't want to think too much about it, but too many coincidences together were no longer coincidences.
But, if the assassination is really related to Wen Muchen.
Why did Wen Muchen block the arrow for her?
Wen Muchen wanted to kill her, so what was the point of blocking the arrow for her?
Or is this a self-torture tactic?
Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. It's no use thinking too much now.
Ying Xixi sighed inwardly and continued to wait at the door.
After an unknown amount of time, the court doctor finally opened the door.
Ying Xixi heard the noise and quickly turned around to ask, "Doctor, how is Wang Fu?"
"Reporting to the king, your husband's life has been saved. However, because the arrow had a barb, I had to gouge out a large piece of flesh from your husband's back to pull the arrow out.
Fortunately, there is no poison on the arrow. Mr. Wang just needs to rest for a while and he will be fine once the new flesh grows back.
Also, someone needs to be on guard here tonight. If Wang Fu gets a fever, he must be given medicine immediately. The prescription is here."
The doctor handed the prescription to Sun Lin who was standing beside him.
Ying Xixi breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, thank you, doctor. Lin Lang, come and take the doctor back."
"yes."
When Ying Xixi entered the house, she smelled a mixture of healing medicine and blood, which was not a pleasant smell.
Sun Lin consciously opened the window to let the smell out.
Wen Muchen was lying on the bed, his face pale, and he had not yet woken up.
Ying Xixi pulled a chair over and sat beside the bed, looking at Wen Muchen.
Sun Lin placed the prescription on the table and pressed it with a teacup.
"Your Majesty, please go and rest. I will stay here to look after your wife."
"No need. I'm here tonight. Go check on the secret guards and see if they can find out anything."
Ying Xixi gave this instruction, and Sun Lin had no choice but to agree and leave.
After a while, Sun Lin came back.
"Reporting to the king, the secret guards have interrogated the assassin and found out that it was sent by the Sixth Prince to kill you."
Ying Xixi: “???”
"Sixth Princess?!"
Ying Xixi thought that it was someone from Ying Chaoyang's faction, or it could be a self-torture trick directed and acted by Wen Muchen himself.
But she never expected that it was the Sixth Princess!
At the last Spring Palace Banquet, the Sixth Princess attacked Wen Muchen, and the Queen Mother found out. She had already taught her a lesson and put her under house arrest.
Unexpectedly, not long after this, the Sixth Princess actually attacked her directly!
Ying Xixi held her forehead with her hand. This was all caused by Wen Muchen’s bad love life!
"Wasn't the Sixth Princess under house arrest by the Queen Mother? Has the order been lifted?"
Sun Lin: "Yes, according to the assassin, it was the Prince of Chao who pleaded with the Empress on behalf of the Sixth Prince, and the Empress then lifted the Sixth Prince's house arrest order."
"It's a favor I asked the king for..."
Ying Xixi murmured, narrowing her eyes slightly.
The targets of the King of Chao and the Sixth Princess are both Wen Muchen.
In addition to Wen Muchen, King Chao's goal is also to take the throne.
So the King of Chao wanted to plot against her more.
But if the Sixth Princess had no interest in the throne and only wanted Wen Muchen, she could have just plotted against Wen Muchen.
Just like the last Spring Palace Banquet.
There's no need to send someone to assassinate her.
But if it was Prince Chao who pleaded with the Queen Mother on behalf of the Sixth Princess, and said something to the Sixth Princess, then the Sixth Princess might really attack her!
After all, the Sixth Princess is a notoriously unruly and willful little princess.
The Prince of Chao uses the Sixth Princess as a gun, but the Sixth Princess probably has no idea about it at all. She probably still thinks that the Prince of Chao, her elder sister, is so good to her!
Just like she used to be, stupid!
Don’t know people well!
"Go and create something to keep the Sixth Princess busy, and leave some evidence so that the Sixth Princess will suspect that the King of Chao is plotting against her.
If they start fighting each other, no one will remember me anymore."
Ying Xixi paused after giving the order, "By the way, spread the news that the prince was assassinated tonight and the prince's wife took the arrow for the prince."
"yes!"
After Sun Lin left, Ying Xixi continued to guard Wen Muchen.
She dozed off for a short while tonight, and now her head is very clear and she has no sleepiness at all.
It was not until midnight that Wen Muchen's originally pale face began to turn red. Ying Xixi touched his forehead and found that he had a fever!
"Lin Lang! Take the prescription and go get the medicine!"
Ying Xixi called out to Lin Lang, who was dozing off, and asked other servants to bring in hot water and a towel. She personally wiped Wen Muchen's body.
However, after the medicine was boiled and brought to her, Ying Xixi couldn't get it in no matter how hard she tried.
Especially since Wen Muchen was lying down, it was impossible to pinch his chin and force medicine into him in this position.
After thinking about it, Ying Xixi simply drank a sip of the medicine, pressed the back of Wen Muchen's head, and fed him the medicine herself!
Lin Lang and Sun Lin, who were standing nearby, stared with wide eyes, "!!!"
Can you feed medicine like this?!
Lin Lang thought that when Wang Fu woke up, he would definitely tell him about this!
The prince will definitely be very happy!
