Chapter 195: Life for a Life



As soon as Qin Niang rubbed the tinder to light a little, she saw a man in black standing at the door with his face covered. Qin Niang quickly saw him from the corner of her eye and shouted, "Who is it?"

But before she could finish her words, the man stabbed the knife into Qin Niang's chest. The white knife went in and the red knife came out, blood splattered on the window paper, and the fire starter had not even been lit.

Gu Yunru was startled when she saw this and quickly hid under the table. The man in black slowly walked into the room. She pinched her nose, her scalp numbed, and the cold wind outside the door blew into the room.

The man in black looked around vigilantly, walked to the bed, and stabbed the quilt several times. When he found that the person was not there, he turned around and saw a figure running out of the door. Gu Yunru ran out and screamed loudly, "There is an assassin, there is an assassin!"

In an instant, the entire palace was lit up. Rong Zhen was in the study, correcting memorials. When he heard Gu Yunru's voice, he rushed out without saying a word.

Gu Yunru was forced into a dark corner, and she closed her eyes in fear as she watched the masked man holding a bloody knife and trying to stab her.

She only felt a gust of wind passing by and heard the sound of fighting. When she looked up, she found that Rong Zhen came out and was fighting with her.

Gu Yunru was so frightened that her face turned pale and her lips trembled. Thinking of Qin Niang, she was about to find an opportunity to return to the house, but was chased and blocked by the assassin. Seeing that the assassin wanted to kill her, Rong Zhen slapped him directly on the chest. The assassin was obviously hit and took a few steps back, preparing to use Qinggong to escape.

“Where are you going!”

Rong Zhen was just about to catch up when the assassin pulled out something from his waist and threw it in his face. Rong Zhen immediately squinted his eyes and could not see what was ahead.

"A Zhao?" Gu Yunru watched him stagger a few steps. The man in black was indeed cunning and even used a secret trick. Rong Zhen was naturally caught off guard. Suddenly, blood flowed in front of her eyes, scaring her so much that her face turned horrified.

"Your Majesty! I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Qingfeng led a group of Yulin soldiers and surrounded them. They looked in the direction where the assassin fled and were about to chase him. Gu Yunru called him and said, "Qingfeng, quickly call Doctor Hu to come over and help the prince to the room to rest. This matter cannot be publicized for the time being!"

"yes."

Gu Yunru was concerned about Qin Niang's safety and quickly ran into the room. Candles had already been lit in the room and the servants were preparing to help Qin Niang to the side room. Before she could move, Qin Niang saw Gu Yunru jogging towards her, opening her eyes and raising the corner of her mouth at her.

"Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Qin... Don't be in trouble. I'll come to save you right now." Gu Yunru was about to tear off her skirt to block her wound and prevent the blood from flowing out again. Mrs. Qin had a premonition that she was about to die. She held her hand, looked at her panicked face, and laughed out loud, "Princess, don't cry..."

"Mother Qin, you must hold on, you will be fine!" Gu Yunru panicked and asked someone to bring tools to clean her wound and then suture it, but she found that her dress had already been stained red and the blood was almost dry.

"Princess... I know you have a miraculous healing hand, but no one can save me this time. You have to let me go like this and stop doing these things." Qin Niang didn't want Gu Yunru to work in vain. Looking at her trembling hand holding the knife, she directly grabbed her wrist.

Crystal clear tears slowly welled up in Gu Yunru's eyes, and she whispered, "You will be fine, believe me." After saying that, Gu Yunru threw away the piece of cloth and was about to tear open her clothes to deal with her, but she found that her hand slowly fell down, and there was no sign of life at this moment.

"Qin Niang!" Gu Yunru let out a loud cry as if a silver bottle had suddenly broken. Qin Niang died because of her, and the assassin was obviously coming for her.

"Princess! Princess! The prince is not doing well. Princess, you should go and take a look."

The servant came running over. Qin Niang had not been settled yet and there was an accident over there. She wiped away her tears and had no time to be sad. She ran into the study carrying the medicine box.

"A Zhao!" Gu Yunru looked at the servants kneeling in the room and asked them to leave, leaving only Doctor Hu and two personal maids to serve.

"Princess, I have tried my best, but I don't know what kind of poison the prince has been poisoned by. The blood in his eyes won't stop flowing, and I don't know how to stop the bleeding."

Rong Zhen was lying on the bed, his bloodshot eyes looking extremely terrifying.

"This..." Gu Yunru was so scared that her face turned pale. She walked forward and lifted his eyelids, only to see that the whites of his eyes had turned red.

"Get the medicine in my box, and bring some green peppers."

"ah?"

No one knew why the princess wanted to take the green pepper, so the servants did as they were told.

Qingfeng and Qingshuang came together. When they entered the house, they saw Gu Yunru pinching a green pepper with one hand and squeezing the juice, which dripped into his eyes. Rong Zhen grimaced in pain and clutched the quilt under the bed. The veins on his arms were exposed and his bony fingers began to bleed.

"Princess..." Doctor Hu didn't know whether he should stop this kind of treatment. He had never seen it before.

Gu Yunru didn't want to be disturbed, so she asked everyone to leave. About half an hour later, Doctor Hu walked closer and found that the bleeding had stopped and the prince's eyes were covered with gauze.

Gu Yunru was sweating profusely from exhaustion. She walked to the door, looked at the anxious Doctor Hu and said, "Don't worry, it's all right now. I just let his tears flow out so that the blood won't rush to the wrong place."

"The princess is still wise."

Doctor Gu's doubts were resolved and he was full of admiration for her. Originally, he was not interested in her medical skills because she was a woman.

"Don't be happy too soon. I used green pepper because I didn't want to hurt his eyes, but his eyes are still injured. Next, I need a kind of herbal medicine to apply on his eyes. He will feel better in three days."

"Please tell me, Princess. The Imperial Hospital has all kinds of medicinal materials."

Doctor Hu was extremely confident about this. Gu Yunru put his hands behind his back, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and frowned.

"I've only seen this herb in medical books, and I don't know if you have it here. Go find a plant that looks like a seahorse, with a light pink pattern that glows at night."

"What is this that the princess is talking about? I have never heard of it before."

Since Doctor Hu came into contact with Gu Yunru, he found that she could always name many medicines that he didn't know. Some of the medicines had strange shapes and uses.

"If you don't know, go ask your colleagues. I don't know the name of that herb, but it can replace human eyes."

Gu Yunru was very sure that if he could really find that light pink herb that was similar to the shape of a seahorse in this dynasty, he could mix it with the water pearls to cure his eye injury.

"yes."
