8 Misunderstanding
◎She risked her life to take the knife for Yan Qizheng?◎
When the doctor was cleaning and bandaging the wound, Wei Ziyan was awakened from her coma by the pain.
At first, I slowly regained consciousness amidst the pain, without much reaction. When I finally woke up, I felt the excruciating pain.
How could a spoiled young lady like her have ever suffered such a thing since she was a child? Seeing her parents right beside her, Wei Ziyan couldn't help but burst into tears.
Mrs. Wei was heartbroken. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Mr. Wei couldn't help wiping away tears beside them.
"Madam..." Seeing the doctor finished bandaging, Qiu Luo wiped her tears and reminded. "Miss, you must be in a lot of pain. Master Yan said you need painkillers..."
Mrs. Wei quickly came back to her senses from her grief and urged her husband to send the doctor out to get some medicine.
As soon as her parents left, Wei Ziyan looked around her boudoir with tears in her eyes. Where was the Young Master Yan that Qiu Luo had mentioned?
"Young Master Yan left after sending the young lady back, saying he would be back later." Qiu Luo was still a little unhappy when she replied.
Even though the lady was like that, he still wanted to leave. It turns out that he has no sincerity towards her at all.
But she didn't say it, for fear that the young lady would be even more sad after hearing it.
Wei Ziyan didn't think much about it - at this moment, she didn't have the mind to think about Yan Qizhen.
She is in so much pain!
Thinking about how he fainted from the pain after being stabbed, and then woke up alive from the pain, he felt so regretful that his intestines turned green. He shouldn't have listened to Liu Yuer and rushed over.
It would have been fine if I had just rushed forward, but why did I end up getting stabbed?
Wei Ziyan recalled it again.
At that critical moment, she clearly wanted to pull Yan Qizheng to block her, but in her panic, she pulled in the wrong direction...
well......
Wei Ziyan even felt pain on her forehead.
She must have been cheating Yan Qizheng for too long, and even God couldn't stand it anymore. Otherwise, why would she have happened to be in the middle of the Crown Prince's assassination?
"Where is Miss Liu?" Wei Ziyan thought of Liu Yu'er at this time, wondering if she was being hunted by the assassin.
"Don't worry, Miss Liu is not hurt, she was just a little frightened. Butler Wang said she has returned home."
Wei Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but Qiu Luo couldn't help but feel unfair for his young lady.
"Young lady, your hand would normally be in pain for a long time after being pricked by a needle, so why are you risking your life to take this knife for Master Yan?"
As soon as these words fell, Wei Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately she breathed a sigh of relief again.
She risked her life to take the knife for Yan Qizhen?
"Who told you that?" Wei Ziyan's eyes widened.
"Butler Wang asked Master Yan, and he admitted it himself."
“…”
Wei Ziyan was so shocked that her mouth opened into a circle.
Yan Qizheng...
You don't think she's trying to save him, do you?
"Miss risked her life to save him, and he actually left you and walked away!" Qiu Luo started to get angry again, "He pretended to be back soon, but it's already dark and he's still nowhere to be found!"
"..." Wei Ziyan's round eyes widened a little, "He's coming back?"
"Hmph!" Qiu Luo suddenly became full of energy, "The Wei Mansion isn't a place where he can just leave or come back whenever he wants!"
“…”
"Madam has already instructed the concierge not to let that ungrateful fellow in!"
“…”
ungrateful?
“No, mother!” Wei Ziyan buried her head in the pillow with a headache.
This is a huge misunderstanding...
Fortunately, her headache didn't last too long. After taking the painkillers, she fell into a deep sleep...
After nightfall, Yan Qizhen hurried back to the Wei Mansion.
He didn't even have time to change his dirty armor. As soon as the matter was settled, he hurried over here.
Although the knife attack was not life-threatening, it would certainly cause the delicate young lady to suffer. He was worried about it, but he didn't expect to be rejected first!
The gatekeeper stopped him outside the mansion, saying that it was the lady's order.
"Madam told Miss to take painkillers and go to bed. If Master Yan goes in, he will definitely wake Miss and cause her pain again."
This statement was a bit confusing, but luckily Wang Xing was also at the door and whispered the reason.
It turned out that when Mrs. Wei heard that the young lady was injured while saving her son-in-law, she felt heartbroken when she thought that her daughter almost died under the knife for a man who didn't like her.
Even though her daughter was so injured, the man left without a second thought. Adding to that the old account regarding the garden, Madam Wei felt even more heartbroken for her daughter.
After hearing what Butler Wang said, Yan Qizheng suddenly had an epiphany.
After all, he was indeed involved, no wonder Mrs. Wei didn't want him to come in.
"Mrs. Wei is right. I'll come visit you another day."
Unable to excuse himself, Yan Qizhen could only respond and quietly left the Wei Mansion.
Upon returning home, Master Yan and his wife were concerned to see him covered in blood. They were also shocked to hear that the Crown Prince had been assassinated and Wei Ziyan had been injured.
"Assassinating the Crown Prince in broad daylight is a serious matter!" Yan Sunwei asked anxiously, "Have you caught the assassin?"
Yan Qizheng shook his head.
The cherry blossom forest was then heavily surrounded by soldiers, and the search for the remaining assassins had expanded to a five-mile radius. He led his men back to the scene and cleared out over eighty of the assassins' bodies, leaving no survivors.
The identities of these dead people are still unknown, and the few survivors who escaped may be difficult to track down for a while.
Fortunately, during the final removal of the bodies, the guards discovered one still breathing. Although he was practically a living dead, perhaps he could be revived and interrogated to reveal clues.
Before the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess set off, Yan Qizhen had been ordered to clear the mountain road and deploy secret sentries.
However, it seemed that another group of well-trained people had quietly followed behind and eliminated all the secret sentries in advance. Therefore, the large number of assassins entered the forest without the guards receiving any warning.
According to investigations, some civilians who wanted to enter the mountain today were persuaded to retreat by the "official soldiers" at the foot of the mountain. Now it seems that these disguised "official soldiers" must be in the same group as the assassins.
This was clearly a premeditated and well-thought-out assassination plan. The assassination plan was carefully planned, with the Crown Prince's schedule known in advance and the perpetrators well-versed in court affairs.
The person behind this must be someone extraordinary!
Mrs. Yan's biggest concern right now wasn't the assassin or the mastermind. She hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the father and son and asked, "How's Zi Yan's injury?"
Immediately, Yan Qizheng's heart sank, and that lifeless face appeared in his mind again.
"It's not a light disease. I'm afraid it will take a month to recover."
"Have you been there?"
Yan Qizheng shook his head again: "Madam Wei was angry and didn't let me in."
"You deserve it!" Madam Yan was so disappointed. "Who told you to treat Zi Yan like that before? If my daughter had a fiancé like you, she would never be able to set foot in my house in her lifetime!"
Yan Qizhen remained silent in response to his mother's rebuke.
Today's events made him feel confused and he couldn't figure it out for a while. Why did his words and actions that were so justified in the past suddenly make him feel guilty and uneasy?
Just because she risked her life to block the knife for him?
The crown prince was assassinated and Emperor Jingren was furious.
The Crown Prince accompanied the Crown Princess to the eastern suburbs to appreciate the cherry blossoms. It was a sudden idea of the Crown Princess, but nearly a hundred assassins had ambushed them early on, indicating that there were people with ulterior motives around the Crown Prince.
How could this be tolerated? The Emperor immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the Eastern Palace and the Crown Prince's Residence, and a thorough investigation of the identities of all assassins, vowing to uncover the mastermind behind this!
Throughout the dynasties, fratricide among princes in the fight for the throne was commonplace. Emperor Jingren himself won the throne through a difficult struggle for power among factions.
He had witnessed the cruelty of it, so he appointed a crown prince early. Some of his other sons were made kings, and some were granted fiefs, hoping that they would not repeat the same mistakes.
During the sixteen years of Emperor Jingren's reign, the princes had grown up and lived in peace, without any incidents of fratricide. Therefore, the assassination of the crown prince was like a wake-up call, a wake-up call for Emperor Jingren.
He has six sons in total, and none of them looks like the mastermind behind the scenes, nor is he willing to believe that it is any of them.
This matter was of great importance, and after much deliberation, Emperor Jingren decided to assign the task of investigating the assassin to the Ministry of Justice.
Shangshu Wu Minglu was loyal to the emperor and immediately expressed that he would do his utmost to find out the cause and consequences of each death.
At the same time, Emperor Jingren generously rewarded the Crown Prince's loyal guards in the Imperial Palace, providing honors and compensation to the casualties. Yan Qizheng was promoted to the rank of fifth-rank commander.
Miss Wei and her family guards made great contributions in rescuing the prince, so the emperor also rewarded Wei Jizhi and gave Miss Wei many precious medicinal herbs to calm her down and heal her injuries.
As for Liu Yuer, the situation was chaotic and tense at the time. She was wearing men's clothes and blended in with the guards, so she did not attract any attention.
It was then that Yan Qizheng remembered that Wei Ziyan had come to the eastern suburbs to enjoy the cherry blossoms with Liu Yuer. He couldn't help but wonder when these two had become so close.
After leaving the palace that day, Yan Qizheng took time out to visit the Wei Mansion. As expected, he was stopped outside the gate again.
He asked the doorman to pass on the message and invite Miss Wei's personal maid to come out to inquire about the situation, but the one who came was not Qiu Luo, the maid he had met last time.
"Last night, the young lady's wound became inflamed and she had a high fever. Sister Qiuluo took care of her all night, and today I will take care of the young lady." Chunlai bowed to Young Master Yan.
Yan Qizheng nodded and asked, "How is your young lady now?"
"The young lady is in a coma day and night, but she is not feeling well. She can't sleep well and cries out in pain from time to time." Chunlai's face was full of anxiety when he replied.
Not only did the master and his mistress feel distressed when they saw the young lady's current appearance, but the maids also felt uncomfortable.
"When the doctor came to change the dressing, I saw the wound. It was longer than a finger! Even if it touched someone with thick skin, it would peel off a layer of skin, let alone Miss..."
Chunlai gestured with his hands, and what he described was all factual, except that the tone of his statement was slightly exaggerated.
I just want to make this future son-in-law feel guilty and treat the young lady well.
Yan Qi was listening in silence, his face tense and his lips pressed into a straight line. He fished a small green porcelain bottle from his inner pocket and handed it to the maid.
"Next time you change her dressing, use this golden wound medicine. Sprinkle it on the wound. It will speed up the healing process."
Although His Majesty has rewarded me with precious medicinal materials, this golden wound medicine is very effective and can heal wounds quickly.
Chunlai happily accepted it and was about to bow and return when Yan Qizheng stopped her and said, "Did your young lady go to the eastern suburbs with Liu Yu'er yesterday?"
"yes."
"How did they get together?"
This spring will know.
"I heard from Sister Qiuluo that the young lady ran into Miss Liu at the flower market a few days ago. They went to a teahouse together for tea and had a very pleasant chat. They then made an appointment to go outing together to enjoy the cherry blossoms."
Meet by chance at the flower market and have a conversation that hits the spot?
Yan Qizheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "When did we meet by chance?"
