Chapter 157: Forgiveness (Update 1)
Xiao Chengxuan asked anxiously: "Has he been caught? Where is he?"
Lian Zhou glanced at his master and said respectfully, "Yun Cheng and the others have already controlled the person, and are just waiting for the master's decision."
Xiao Chengxuan saw that he came alone, without anyone following him, and he didn't know who he had caught, so he was worried.
"What's the fate? Is the person still alive?!"
Those were the warriors he had spent a lot of effort to train!
Even if you get caught, there shouldn't be any problem.
Lian Zhou showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Why would His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi ask that?"
Xiao Chengxuan's heart sank and he secretly thought that something was wrong.
He explained: "This... I am just guessing. Those who dare to attack the prince here must have come with the idea of dying if they fail. If the action fails, these people know that they will not have a good ending, and they may end their lives themselves."
Chen Yanchuan said calmly: "Your Highness Prince Qi knows all this very well."
Xiao Chengxuan was even more embarrassed.
He always felt that Shen Yanchuan seemed to have something else in his words.
Lian Zhou smiled and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Qi is very good at predicting things. The assassin was indeed a deadly warrior, but when he was about to commit suicide, he was a little slow and saved his life."
Xiao Chengxuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart instantly rose in his chest!
He clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves and used great effort to control his expression.
"Oh? Then why don't you bring the person here as soon as possible and interrogate him thoroughly!"
He seemed extremely angry.
"I want to see who is so brave!"
Lian Zhou hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "This... I'm afraid it's not possible for the time being. At that time, in order to stop the assassin, our people directly attacked and stabbed him in the left chest with a sword. Now he has fainted and has not yet woken up."
Then naturally, it is impossible to interrogate them.
Xiao Chengxuan's throat was dry. He never expected such a situation to happen.
Chen Yanchuan said: "Make sure to keep an eye on the person. It won't be too late to ask him when he wakes up."
Lian Zhou clasped his fists: "Yes!"
Xiao Chengxuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.
It would be fine if the person died, but if he was rescued, then——
"Keep searching." Chen Yanchuan's tone was calm, but it was as cold as ice and snow, and it was chilling to the bone. "Dig three feet into the ground. Even if it's a corpse, bring it here intact!"
Lian Zhou said respectfully: "Yes!"
Only then did Chen Yanchuan look at Xiao Chengxuan again, his expression softening a little.
"It's late today, and Your Highness the Prince of Qi is busy with many things, so I won't keep you any longer."
The expression on Xiao Chengxuan's face was almost unable to hold back: "It's okay. If I hadn't asked you to come this time, perhaps such an accident wouldn't have happened. I feel very sorry. If I don't find out the real culprit this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace..."
"Those people came for me, but I implicated His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. However, please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely find out the person behind this, and then I will inform Your Highness of the good news."
A chill suddenly rose up Xiao Chengxuan's spine.
He subconsciously looked up, but saw that the man in front of him had deep and unfathomable eyes.
Just then, someone else came to report.
"Your Highness! The envoy of the reserve court is here!"
When Xiao Chengxuan heard the name, he was stunned: "Chu Qiyuan? Why is he here?"
As he was speaking, a slightly hunched figure came into view.
The man had gray hair and was wearing a gray robe. He looked to be about sixty years old. He was carrying a medicine box in his hand and was walking towards them tremblingly.
As if he had heard what Xiao Chengxuan said, the old man bowed slightly and replied, "I came here specially at the order of the princess. It's just that the road is muddy and difficult to travel, so I'm late. I hope the prince will forgive me."
Chu Qiyuan is the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. He has a noble and arrogant personality, but because of his excellent medical skills, he has held this position for many years and is highly respected.
Most people really can't invite him.
Xiao Chengxuan was surprised at first, but then he thought that the eldest princess was indeed very caring towards Ye Chutang, and it was understandable that she specially invited Chu Qiyuan to come after hearing the news here.
Shen Yanchuan turned slightly sideways: "She is inside, please come in."
Chu Qiyuan nodded.
Chen Yanchuan took a step forward and followed.
Seeing that he was also going to leave, Xiao Chengxuan was stunned: "Hey, this——"
"The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is coming soon, and Your Highness Prince Qi still has a lot of things to deal with, so please go back as soon as possible. I'll be here." Chen Yanchuan paused and tilted his head slightly, "Your Highness, take care. I won't see you off."
Xiao Chengxuan's eyelids twitched and the rest of his words were choked back.
He stood there for a while, feeling extremely conflicted.
Walk? There is another person in their hands!
Not leaving? August 15th is coming soon. His father has entrusted him with an important task. He really has a lot of things to do and cannot afford to delay.
After thinking it over, Xiao Chengxuan gritted his teeth and looked at the door that closed again.
"Walk!"
…
After changing the medicine, Ye Chutang lay down again, feeling sleepy.
However, just as she was about to fall asleep, footsteps were heard outside again.
Then, someone knocked on the door.
Princess Qinyang went to open the door and said in a pleasant voice: "You are finally here!"
As she led the people into the house, she said, "I knew that the princess would definitely invite you! Come and have a look!"
After changing Ye Chutang's medicine, Princess Qinyang knew how serious her injuries were and was worried.
Seeing Chu Qiyuan at this time was like taking a reassurance.
Princess Qinyang led Chu Qiyuan to the bedside and frowned as she said, "Doctor Chen and Doctor Sun have just checked Chu Tang's pulse and are now decocting medicine. But she has lost too much blood and is seriously injured. You should take a closer look."
Chu Qiyuan sat down slowly on the stool beside the bed, opened the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow, put his fingers on Ye Chutang's wrist, closed his eyes and took his pulse carefully.
Ye Chutang sighed.
Chu Qiyuan's fingers trembled.
But the movement was so subtle, and as he had his eyes closed, no one noticed it.
After a long while, Chu Qiyuan opened his eyes.
Princess Qinyang asked quickly, "How is it?"
Chu Qiyuan frowned.
Princess Qinyang was a little worried: "What? But she is not in good condition?"
"That's not the case." Chu Qiyuan shook his head, "It's just that I hurried up the mountain, too anxiously, I need to rest for a while before I can be sure."
Princess Qinyang: "..."
Chu Qiyuan was well-known for his weird temper and being a troublemaker, but no one could do anything about him. After all, he was very capable and had a lot of experience.
Shen Yanchuan glanced at Chu Qiyuan, then his eyes passed over Ye Chutang's face again, his eyes moved slightly.
"Then we'll wait outside. You can take a rest and watch again later."
…
Squeak——
The door closed and the room became quiet again.
Ye Chutang opened his eyes and said helplessly:
"You woke me up."
Chu Qiyuan immediately stood up from the stool, bent down and bowed, giving an awkward but polite smile.
"Forgive me, forgive me. But there is nothing we can do about it."
