In the Prince's Mansion, Ni Yueshan explained the condition of the wounds she had observed to the imperial physician, who pondered and stroked his beard.
Shao Lecheng urged anxiously: "Stop pretending to be mature and explain the situation quickly!"
The imperial physician then responded: "This, this injury, the wound is too long, how can it heal on its own? And the blood stasis..."
Ni Yueshan said with great determination, "I have a way to sew up the wound. As for the blood clot, I'll find someone with great internal strength to force the blood out!"
"Suture?" The imperial physician looked surprised. What kind of method was this? He had never heard of it before. Ni Yueshan nodded: "Yes, suturing!"
Shao Lecheng also looked confused. He had never heard of the suturing method before.
The person with profound internal strength was quickly found, and Shao Lecheng wanted to be the first one to go...
Ni Yueshan looked at Shao Lecheng questioningly: "You yourself are seriously injured, and you still want to help the princess heal? Take care of yourself first. Your internal strength is not that great, but your Qinggong is okay."
Shao Lecheng was deeply hurt by Ni Yueshan's ugly rejection.
"I can do it."
"No!" Ni Yueshan spat out these two words very firmly and continued to refuse.
Shao Lecheng shut up angrily and said nothing more.
Yu Fei, who was standing aside, drank water in silence.
After nightfall, many people with strong internal strength did not dare to transfer too much internal strength. They could only try to slowly use their internal strength to force out the blood clots. After that, it was their turn to use the suturing method that Ni Yueshan mentioned, and sew up the wound as if it were clothes.
It sounds incredible, but Ni Yueshan is not a person who is not calm, so everyone believes that Ni Yueshan's proposal is feasible...
But no matter whether it is sutured or not, Duan Gouqiong will have a scar on his chest in the future that will be difficult to get rid of.
When it was daybreak, everyone went to take a nap, but Shao Lecheng stayed by Duan Gouqiong's side and was unwilling to leave.
Qingdie covered Duan Gouqiong with a blanket and nagging beside her: "I see that Master Shao cares about Princess Gouqiong very much. Why don't you take advantage of now to think carefully about whether you want to be with her or not."
"We all know what Princess Gou Qiong is thinking. She likes you, but she is a princess and a woman after all. We can't let her take the initiative in everything, right? You should take the initiative once, too."
Shao Lecheng didn't respond to Qingdie's words, and Qingdie didn't continue to persuade him. She just said, "Why don't you take a nap on the small bed next to you? You're still injured. I'll go see if the medicine is ready!"
Qingdie walked out, and Shao Lecheng stood there motionless like a stone.
Until Qingdie came back with medicine in her hand, Shao Lecheng did not rest, but maintained the same posture as at the beginning.
She said helplessly, "I'll give you the medicine, can you move aside first?"
Shao Lecheng said, "Let me feed her, you go and rest!"
Qingdie handed the medicine to Shao Lecheng without hesitation. Shao Lecheng took it and fed it to Duan Gouqiong.
But Duan Gouqiong's mouth was tightly closed, making it impossible to feed the medicine.
Shao Lecheng looked at her helplessly: "If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for taking advantage!"
However, Duan Gouqiong still kept his lips tightly closed and did not respond, as if he was not threatened. But Shao Lecheng knew that it was because Duan Gouqiong could not hear at this time!
He scooped a spoonful of medicine and put it into his mouth. Since Duan Gouqiong said that she would not marry anyone else but him, naturally, him kissing her mouth and feeding her medicine would not be something that would disgust her.
At noon, Jing Yuchen came back from outside. Ni Yueshan stayed up all night yesterday, practicing the art of mending. Although it was her first time, she was very careful and cautious. The mending was a little ugly and not perfect, but she hoped it could help her recover and wake up.
Jing Yuchen came back and Ni Yueshan got up from the bed.
"How's the investigation going?"
Ni Yueshan handed Jing Yuchen a wet wipe to wipe his hands. Jing Yuchen frowned and said, "I inspected the scene and found only bloodstains and abandoned weapons. Nothing else was found."
"If what Shao Lecheng said is correct, they might really be coming for him. Then the person behind this is most likely the Imperial Consort, the Prince, or the Princess. I also sent people to watch outside their residence, but didn't find anything suspicious."
What this means is that there are no clues for the time being.
Ni Yueshan speculated and asked, "If you tell the emperor your speculation, I wonder what he will do?"
Jing Yuchen remained silent, so Ni Yueshan continued, "Even if you expressed your suspicions in front of the Emperor, and there's suspicion of internal strife, it's clear to the Emperor that you and him have always had a bad relationship."
"Well, I'll tell you!"
Ni Yueshan looked at him worriedly: "You haven't slept all night, go eat first, and then catch up on your sleep."
Jing Yuchen was worried about something and didn't want to eat or sleep. He washed his face, regained some energy, and left for the palace.
But when Shao Lecheng heard that Jing Yuchen was going to enter the palace, he asked to go with him.
Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng were sitting in the carriage. He asked curiously, "What are you doing in the palace? If you want to talk to Father, just tell me and I'll convey it!"
Shao Lecheng shook his head stubbornly: "No, I... I have other things to do."
As for what exactly happened, Shao Lecheng didn't say much, and Jing Yuchen was naturally tactful enough not to ask any more questions.
In the palace, the emperor summoned two people. Shao Lecheng was there. The emperor was surprised, but he also understood that he must have come because of the assassination.
"How is Princess Gou Qiong doing?"
The majestic voice showed that the emperor was also in a bad mood.
