Xiao Guozi and Chu Chun both knew what Zhao Shu wanted, but Duo Zi and Xiao Pang didn't quite understand, so Xiao Guozi and Duo Zi went to find what Zhao Shu wanted.
But I don't know where to buy this medicine.
"Where did he get injured?" Zhao Shu asked. With the Huo family's abilities, there was no reason why they couldn't protect Huo Baichuan. Xiao Pang and Duo Zi's skills were among the best in the world.
Little Fatty lowered his head, his face full of self-blame, "I was hurt by the Huo family."
He recalled Huo Baichuan saying a few years ago that the Huo family was old. At that time, he didn't understand, but now he finally understood what it meant for the Huo family to be old.
As the family has developed to this point, it is mostly all show and no substance. Having lived a comfortable life for too long, many of the qualities passed down from our ancestors have inevitably been lost.
So Zhao Shu believed it. Indeed, apart from the Huo family, no one she had ever trusted could have hurt Huo Baichuan. "What's wrong with the Huo family now?" Little Fatty didn't name names or specify who had hurt Huo Baichuan, and Zhao Shu wisely didn't ask any further questions.
"Some people are now questioning the young master's status as the eldest son. You don't know that our young master was not born to the first wife." He couldn't tell Zhao Shu this little-known fact.
Zhao Shu also knew that the Huo family's private affairs were beyond her control as an outsider. The only thing she needed to do now was to save Huo Baichuan. Without him, the entire reform movement would fail completely, and everyone in the New Party would die without a burial place, including the Prince Yong's Mansion.
"Where is your master? Doesn't he stand up for him?" Huo Chengyi didn't seem like the kind of person who didn't understand reason. Judging from the fact that he allowed Huo Danlan to take charge of the family, he should recognize Huo Baichuan's status as the eldest son.
Little Fatty gritted his teeth in hatred as he recalled the sudden changes in the Huo family. "The Huo family still has an Elders' Hall, which can decide whether the family head can be chosen. The young master has made too many enemies, and things are already extremely difficult for him."
Actually, Xiao Pang harbored some resentment towards Zhao Shu, but considering that she had cured Huo Danlan, he didn't have much of an opinion. Compared to resenting Zhao Shu, he resented the opportunistic and ungrateful members of the Huo family even more.
"Who leaked the fact that your young master is not dead?" This question is unnecessary. The truth will eventually come out if someone is determined to find out. Moreover, it is someone like Huo Baichuan.
Before Little Fatty could answer, she continued, "I'm going out of the city to gather herbs for your young master. Is the city still safe? Will anyone attack this place?"
"Princess, rest assured, this place is Aunt Dan's private property, full of traps. If anyone dares to come in, this servant will make sure he leaves with his life!" Little Fatty was quite confident in the traps here.
Zhao Shu frowned. Huo Danlan and Yi De were on good terms. It wasn't that she didn't trust them, but she couldn't afford to take the risk. "No, you come with me out of the city. We're going to Luoyang."
“Princess, Luoyang is even more dangerous. All of the Huo family’s properties in Luoyang are controlled by the Elders’ Hall, and the government is also investigating. We can’t go to Luoyang.” Little Fatty immediately objected, “Young Master was injured in Luoyang.”
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Go to Luoyang first, then return to Bianzhou. Don't you trust your young master's abilities? Since he has entrusted his life to me, you must listen to me." Yuecheng is so small; an army of twenty or thirty thousand can easily take it all out. Then we'll just wait for the enemy to boil us like dumplings.
They are doomed to die.
Little Fatty hesitated.
As they were talking, Xiao Guozi and Duozi returned, bringing the needles, thread, alcohol, and hot water that Zhao Shu had requested.
"I'm cleaning his wounds now. His wounds are infected and he's injured in several places. The medicine I brought can only temporarily control the condition and prevent it from worsening. Go and make preparations. After I finish treating the wounds, we'll leave the city tonight. We can't delay any longer, or I definitely won't be able to save your young master's life."
Although I brought medicine with me, I was missing a few ingredients.
Zhao Shu had wounds on his back, chest, and waist. The person who attacked him clearly intended to kill him, so each wound was very serious. He was lucky to survive.
After feeding him the anesthetic soup, Zhao Shu scraped away all the pus from his wound and then sutured it up with needle and thread. Because she was going to move him, she did not use the weak-tension catgut suture.
After the wound was stitched up, I applied Dr. Peng's wound medicine, wrapped it with gauze, and it was already dark.
She stood up straight, rubbed her sore waist and neck, and Chu Chun gently wiped away her sweat.
"Princess, when will the young master wake up?" Duozi and Xiaopang asked anxiously.
Zhao Shu rubbed her forehead. "First, brew a bowl of the medicine I brought for him to drink. As for when he will wake up, it depends on his fate. Are you ready? If you are, we will prepare to leave the city later."
Duozi and Xiaopang looked at each other, unsure of what to do. But then they remembered Huo Baichuan's instructions to them before he fell into a coma: to bring Zhao Shu over. Did that mean the young master trusted the princess? Did she have the ability to protect him?
Seeing that the two remained silent, Xiao Guozi urged Chu Chun to prepare the medicine. He then led the two outside, saying, "Why aren't you getting ready? If it gets any later, and someone else breaks in, none of us can protect you."
"But..." the two were still worried.
Xiao Guozi earnestly tried to persuade him, "If we just stay here and don't move, we'll be overrun sooner or later. Young Master Huo died suddenly, but if he's found out, don't you think his situation is even more dangerous?"
"Go quickly. Would our princess harm Young Master Huo? If she wanted to harm him, she wouldn't have come to Yuecheng."
Zhao Shu let Xiao Guozi try to persuade Duo Zi and Xiao Pang, while she carefully helped Huo Baichuan put on his clothes, saying, "I thought you had nine lives."
He sighed. Was he destined to repeat the fate of his previous life? Judging by the time, it was about the same time. His grandmother, Huo Baichuan, and Emperor Mingde were all going to meet with misfortune.
Huo Baichuan's eyes remained tightly closed, as if he were already dead. His face was deathly pale. Zhao Shu examined him closely. He was really handsome, with delicate features, fair skin, and affectionate eyes. No wonder he always had a playboy demeanor, because that would make him seem much more unreliable.
