"You, don't scare me..." Jin Suting felt a little scared when she heard what he said, and it was late, so her voice was trembling.
When Helan Ruizhe turned around to reply to her, a black shadow jumped out from the bushes beside them and headed straight for Helan Ruizhe's right shoulder.
Jin Suting noticed it keenly and shouted, "Be careful!"
Helan Ruizhe stood up before her voice sounded, and immediately protected her behind his back with his hands.
The shadow stopped, dressed in night clothes, still standing out in the dimming night.
He missed and rushed towards Helan Ruizhe again unwillingly. In his hand, close to his wrist, was a sharp dagger, shining with a cold light.
Helan Ruizhe kicked the man in black directly in the chest, and the man fell to the ground, lying on his back in a very miserable state.
He seemed to have fainted.
"Are you okay?" Jin Suting ran to the front and asked him with concern.
"I'm fine, you're not scared, are you?"
"No, I think you're great!"
Helan Ruizhe smiled, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
So he carelessly forgot that the person lying on the ground was not dead yet.
The man in black was very cunning. He took advantage of Helan Ruizhe's unpreparedness, flashed the dagger on his wrist, turned over, and stabbed Helan Ruizhe's heart at a speed three times faster than before.
However, his agility also gives others the opportunity to attack him by surprise.
When the dagger came at him, he dodged but failed.
The dagger pierced his lower right abdomen. After the man in black stabbed the dagger, Helan Ruizhe kicked him away again. As if he had completed his mission, he bounced away, released a smoke bomb, and disappeared.
Jin Suting reacted belatedly. She first heard Helan Ruizhe's groan, and then she saw the shock of blood.
Helan Ruizhe sat down with weak legs and pale lips. Jin Suting supported him and could only watch the blood oozing from the place where the dagger had pierced him.
"Helan Ruizhe, Helan Ruizhe, are you okay?"
"Hey, why am I so clumsy with my mouth? How can I be alright with so much blood..."
Her voice was already a little tearful. What if Helan Ruizhe really died because of this?
"I, what should we do now?"
"I'm fine now," Helan Ruizhe's voice was very weak. The dagger was inserted deep into the wound. I don't know if it was poisonous, but it must be very painful. "Let's go to the carriage first, and then go back to the East Palace."
"Okay!" Jin Suting put Helan Ruizhe's hand around her neck and put the other hand around his waist.
She was very thin, unlike Helan Ruizhe's tall stature, and now he was leaning on her.
Jin Suting was having trouble moving. After taking two steps, she tripped over a stone. Helan Ruizhe covered the wound with his other hand. The blood was still flowing, and Jin Suting didn't dare to help him pull out the dagger. She wouldn't dare to do that even if she was beaten to death.
But there was a knife stuck in his stomach, and the fatal pain was not something that an ordinary person could endure, not to mention that there was no groom at the moment.
"If we really want to go back to the East Palace, let's find a nearby clinic first." Jin Suting placed Helan Ruizhe in the carriage, padded both sides with pillows, and locked them in place to prevent Helan Ruizhe from shaking left and right during the bumpy ride and affecting his wound.
"Return to the East Palace."
Helan Ruizhe's attitude was firm.
Jin Suting was afraid that Helan Ruizhe would not be able to bear it if they drove too fast, so she promised quietly, "Then I will try to drive more steadily."
"Hurry up, it's okay, I can hold on." But in his opinion, if he was any slower, his blood would be drained out.
Jin Suting has never driven a horse-drawn carriage, but she can ride a horse, so she knows a little bit.
"drive--"
Jin Suting whipped the horse and the carriage moved. Jin Suting used all her strength to turn the car, and lost control several times and almost hit someone.
Fortunately, there were pillows stuck next to Helan Ruizhe, otherwise it would have been terrible if he had been swaying around and something had happened.
When he finally arrived at the Eastern Palace, Helan Ruizhe almost fainted, and some blood had already stained the pillow beside him.
"Someone come quickly, someone come quickly——"
Jin Suting got off the carriage and shouted at the guards at the door at the top of her lungs, "The Crown Prince is in the carriage, he's injured, hurry!"
The guards recognized Jin Suting, as Helan Ruizhe had instructed them. Moreover, Jin Suting's shouting also called out Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing saw that there was some blood on Jin Suting's waist and hands, and immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Helan Ruizhe in the carriage was already in a semi-comatose state. Yuan Jing's brows were full of anger, and his whole body looked like he was saying "Keep Away".
He and another guard lifted Helan Ruizhe off the carriage and put him on a stretcher.
Helan Ruizhe was still able to speak, and he murmured, "Susu."
When Jin Suting heard him calling her, she immediately went over to him and said, "I'm here, I'm here."
Helan Ruizhe closed his eyes in pain. The dagger was painful. He said, "Stay with me, please. Don't leave."
Jin Suting nodded and kept nodding. She said, "Okay, you go in first. I'll stay with you. I won't leave."
Yuan Jing and the guards lifted Helan Ruizhe up, and Jin Suting followed beside him. After Yuan Jing ordered his servants to invite Doctor Mo from the South Street Clinic, he remained silent, like a silent volcano.
Doctor Mo arrived very quickly, sent by a BMW that traveled 800 miles at an express speed. If it wasn't fast, there would be a problem.
When taking the dagger, Helan Ruizhe kept holding Jin Suting's hand. He didn't shout, but secretly clenched his hand.
He realized that it was Jin Suting's hand that he was holding, and fearing that he would hurt her, he broke free and grabbed the bed sheet tightly.
During the entire process that followed, including cleaning, applying medicine, and bandaging, he did not cry out in pain, but just secretly clenched the bed sheet until his knuckles turned white.
Just now, when he held Jin Suting's hand and squeezed it tightly, it seemed like the pain was there, and she felt the same way.
It really hurts, right? Doctor Mo said that if the dagger had gone a little deeper and damaged the kidney, he wouldn't have been able to save the patient even if he risked his life.
But fortunately, there was no damage to the kidneys and there was no poison on the dagger.
Helan Ruizhe was awake throughout the whole process. Sometimes the pain was so unbearable that he bit his lower lip until it bled.
If you lick it with your tongue, you can taste the blood in your mouth.
After Doctor Mo left, Jin Suting was still guarding Helan Ruizhe's bedside, but he had already fallen asleep.
Jin Suting was also ready to go back, but she was covered in blood and it would be difficult to explain herself when she returned.
Yuan Jing saw that she was making things difficult for me, so he offered her a new set of clothes. He said, "Miss Jin, this is the standard uniform for the maids in the East Palace. It's a brand new set. If you don't mind the rough material, you can put it on and go back."
Jin Suting was very surprised. He was still furious even at the gate of the East Palace. "Yuan Jing, you really don't blame me? Your Highness was injured while trying to protect me."
