Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Several arrows shot straight into the carriage. Granny Gu and the maid inside were caught off guard. The arrows hit their heads and chests, and they fell into the carriage.
The coachman was shot in the chest and fell off the carriage in pain, clutching his chest.
The horse, startled, reared up on its front hooves and neighed.
A figure darted out from the shadows, jumped onto the carriage, tightened the reins to control the horse, and led the carriage into a side alley.
Everything happened so fast that by the time the Imperial Guards arrived after hearing the commotion, they found nothing and assumed they had misheard.
Inside the princess's residence.
An Xing woke up after drinking the ginseng soup, and with the pressure from Dr. Wang's acupuncture, his abdominal pain was relieved.
“Granny Gu,” An Xing called softly.
Yan Gang stepped forward and sat down beside the bed, gently smoothing the sweat-dampened hair on An Xing's forehead. He said softly, "Granny Gu has already gone to invite Princess Chang Le over. Princess, please bear with it a little longer. Everything will be fine once the princess arrives."
An Xing knew Su Ruojin's abilities, so he didn't say anything.
The maidservant brought in another bowl of medicine. This was a prescription just written by the Imperial Physician, which could temporarily relieve the princess's pain.
Yan Gang took the medicine bowl, glanced around, and said, "Everyone, go down. Let me keep the princess company for a while."
The hospital director was stunned. Throughout history, what man would be willing to stay with his wife in the delivery room?
Princess Anxing was bleeding profusely, and although servants were cleaning up, the smell of blood in the room was still very strong.
The prince consort not only did not avoid her, but also accompanied the princess without any disgust. Just as the rumors said, the prince consort was really good to Princess Anxing.
But he was worried about the princess's health; what if something went wrong?
Thinking of this, the Imperial Physician Wang said, "Prince Consort, why don't I accompany you to take care of the princess?"
Yan Gang looked at An Xing with a face full of pity, his eyes reddening. "Dean Wang, it's alright. You can wait outside. Hui'er is in so much pain, I just want to talk to her. I'll call you if you need anything."
Even the Imperial Physician Wang felt a pang of pity. The prince consort was clearly head over heels in love with the princess and wanted to have intimate conversations with her; it was indeed inappropriate for outsiders to be present.
I've done all I can. Now I'm just waiting for Princess Chang Le to arrive. It wouldn't hurt to stand guard at the gate.
So everyone left.
Upon hearing Yan Gang's words, An Xing forced a smile onto her pale face and weakly raised her hand to grasp Yan Gang's hand. "My lord, you are so good to me. After I give birth to the child, I will definitely ask the Empress Dowager to reward you handsomely."
Yan Gang put down the medicine bowl, gently helped An Xing sit up, and leaned close to her ear, his voice still as gentle as ever.
"Princess, where is the list?"
Upon hearing this, An Xing's expression changed drastically. "What list?"
Yan Gang chuckled, "The princess is so intelligent, she naturally knows what list I'm asking about."
An Xing's face showed a rare look of fear. "Your Highness, I don't know what you're talking about."
“Princess, which do you care more about, your life or your elder brother’s? If you don’t hand over the list to me, do you think you can survive tonight? Don’t forget, you have a child in your womb.”
"Yan Gang, how dare you! Cough cough cough!" An Xing coughed angrily, which made his abdominal pain even more pronounced.
Waaaaah!
Anxing was in so much pain that he was gasping for breath and wanted to call for help, but he had no strength left.
"Princess, if you want to live, hand over the list, and I'll consider sparing your life!"
An Xing glared angrily at Yan Gang, panting heavily, "Yan Gang, Princess Chang Le is about to arrive, do you think you can kill me?"
Yan Gang slightly curled the corners of his lips, "Princess, Granny Gu has been gone for an hour, guess why Princess Chang Le hasn't arrived yet?"
