Qi Chenglang pressed on Huo Liangyao's shoulder: "I sealed the acupoints and the bleeding has temporarily stopped, but Marshal Huo is seriously injured and in critical condition. We must send him back to have Qin, the Imperial Physician, treat him."
This is not the time to cry, saving lives is the priority!
He glanced at Gu Yuzhi: "His Highness Prince Wen has already sent someone to inform Imperial Physician Qin. If we're lucky, we'll run into Imperial Physician Qin on the road."
It's just that Xinliang and Changzhou are too far apart, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome.
It was only then that Chief Secretary Xie remembered the young prince's earlier suggestion to build an inn between Xinliang and Changzhou.
He used to think it was unnecessary, but now he feels that the inn must be built.
Inns were not only places for merchants to rest, but also places for them to transit through.
But now is not the time to talk about these things.
He looked at Gu Yuzhi: "Your Highness, may Huo Qiyuan ride in your carriage? There are some emergency medicines in your carriage, and the carriage is quite comfortable, which is more suitable for someone as seriously injured as him."
Chief Secretary Xie lifted Huo Qiyuan's clothes to take a look. With injuries of this severity, if he were jostled a little more, he would definitely bleed uncontrollably and wouldn't be able to hold on until Physician Qin came to his aid.
The young prince's carriage was covered with a thick layer of bedding, so even if there was a bumpy ride, the intensity would be greatly reduced...
As soon as Xie Changshi finished speaking, the others present looked at him with some nervousness.
They believed that Huo Qiyuan was innocent, but no matter what, Huo Qiyuan was still a criminal official. It was really outrageous for His Highness to give a carriage to a criminal official.
They only dared to speak up because the person in front of them was the young prince. If it were anyone else, Chief Secretary Xie wouldn't even have such a thought.
Gu Yuzhi didn't think much of it, but he was sensitive to the strange expressions on Xie Changshi's and the others' faces, so he scratched his head and said, "Of course you can."
As soon as he agreed, Huo Liangyao and Qi Chenglang breathed a sigh of relief and carefully carried Huo Qiyuan onto the carriage. Xie Changshi followed closely behind, intending to accompany Huo Liangyao to deliver the man to Judge Qin.
As for Qi Chenglang, he will stay here to continue the rescue efforts.
Before leaving, Chief Secretary Xie suddenly knelt down before Gu Yuzhi: "Your Majesty, I know this is inappropriate, but I still spoke up. Your Majesty agreed, and I am deeply grateful. Marshal Huo's injuries are serious. I will apologize to Your Majesty when I return."
After Xie Changshi left, Wen Xiuzhu snorted coldly: "That's why I hate dealing with these civil officials the most; their hearts are just too dirty."
Shu Xiaohan and Gu Yuzhi also didn't understand where Xie Changshi's heart was, and both tilted their heads to look at Wen Xiuzhu.
Wen Xiuzhu closed his folding fan: "Your Highness, didn't you realize that Chief Secretary Xie is using you? If this were the case with that Prince Chu or someone like him, would he have allowed the Prince Chu to give up his carriage to a criminal? He wouldn't dare! But why does he dare to speak to Your Highness?"
"Because he knew that he was the one who stayed by the young prince's side when the prince was most helpless, and the young prince had a natural dependence on him! In addition, he and Qi Chenglang, one a scholar and the other a martial arts teacher, are both the prince's teachers, just like heaven, earth, ruler, parents, and teachers!"
"That's why Chief Secretary Xie dared to make such an excessive request to Your Highness. I now seriously suspect that Chief Secretary Xie's purpose in accompanying Your Highness to the Northern Desert is impure! Your Highness, you must be more careful in the future and not believe everything Chief Secretary Xie says."
When Xie Changshi made that unreasonable request, Wen Xiuzhu felt like he was about to be driven mad with anger!
He even suspected that after Xie Changshi got a taste of the benefits today, he would become even more demanding in the future, and perhaps Xinliang would become Xie's fiefdom!
Shu Xiaohan, however, felt it wasn't that serious. After all, the 21st century is about equality for all, and criminals also have the right to receive medical treatment.
It's just a carriage ride, it's not as serious as Chief Secretary Xie makes it out to be!
She rolled her eyes and retorted loudly, "Manager Wen, you say you suspect Chief Secretary Xie has ulterior motives for approaching His Highness, but wasn't Chief Secretary Xie appointed to the young prince by the Emperor? Could it be that the Emperor has other motives?"
Upon hearing this, both Manager Wen and Shu Xiaohan were stunned. They slowly turned their stiff heads and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
I see!
They said, "What's wrong with the emperor? How could he be so absurd as to exile a prince who hasn't done anything wrong to a place like the northern desert?"
Even though it seemed that the young prince was very unfavored, he sent a large sum of money and even the ladies of the harem after writing a letter...
Shu Xiaohan's mind was racing; at that moment, she wished she could recall all the famous palace dramas.
None of the women who survived in the imperial harem were fools!
These women come from prestigious families and have been educated with abundant resources since childhood, making them exceptionally adept at analyzing pros and cons.
If the Emperor didn't allow it, how could they possibly give gifts to the young prince?
Shu Xiaohan whispered, "But what exactly is the Emperor planning by exiling the young prince to the northern desert?"
Wen Xiuzhu was also racking his brains when his gaze involuntarily fell on the pool of blood on the ground. He suddenly exclaimed, "Maybe it was all because of Huo Qiyuan!"
Gu Yuzhi noticed Xie Changshi's nervousness yesterday, and so did they!
According to Chief Secretary Xie, when the new emperor was still the crown prince, he wanted to exonerate the Huo family, but he failed, which shows that the new emperor believed in the Huo family!
Wen Xiuzhu glanced at Shu Xiaohan and chuckled coldly: "Teacher Shu, I now suspect that even if you suggested establishing the fiefdom elsewhere, Chief Secretary Xie would persuade His Highness to agree to Xinliang."
As long as His Highness is in Xinliang, he will inevitably come into contact with the Huo family sooner or later. Gradually, His Highness will definitely develop a good impression of the Huo family. When that happens, His Highness will definitely do his best to help the Huo family!
At this moment, Wen Xiuzhu and Shu Xiaohan's brainwaves were miraculously in sync.
It's finally cleared up!
Shu Xiaohan almost wanted to burst into laughter!
The young prince found Huo Qiyuan with Xueye, which is equivalent to doing the new emperor a great favor. If he wants the new emperor to give him any rewards in the future, the new emperor will definitely be more generous!
After listening to Wen Shu's conversation, Gu Yuzhi took a long time to process what was going on. He turned to look at Qi Chenglang, who was directing the rescue efforts, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Does that mean that Chief Secretary Xie and Guard Qi aren't truly loyal to me?"
He slumped onto Xueye's back, his head hanging low, and hugged Xueye's neck tightly...
As if sensing his unhappiness, the snowy night carried him and slowly swayed around him, almost making Gu Yuzhi fall asleep...
Just then, Shu Xiaohan's eyes lit up, and she pointed to one of the places, saying, "Young Prince, hurry over there and take a look, quick, quick!"
