Thinking of this, Qu Qingxi closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath. She couldn't panic. She hadn't seen the specific situation yet, so she didn't dare to draw any conclusions.
The carriage wasn't slow, but Qu Qingxi was even more anxious. If it weren't for the fact that she had to cross the main street on the way to the Qu residence, she would have ridden a horse there long ago.
However, Qingdai drove the carriage herself, and once they were out on the main street, the carriage seemed to fly. Fortunately, it wasn't very far, and the two of them arrived quickly.
Stopping in front of the Qu residence, Qu Qingxi's breath hitched slightly as she looked at the scene before her, and Qingdai also froze on the spot.
The once magnificent mansion was burned black, with smoke still rising from it. Its original appearance was almost completely covered by black, making it look desolate and eerie. Even the blue bricks on the ground were stained with dark black.
Qu Qingxi and Qingdai quickly came to their senses, their expressions becoming even more grave. The two of them quickly walked into the west courtyard, where everything was charred black.
However, several people lay motionless in the courtyard, their clothes burned to shreds.
"Your Highness, we have found these people, but the rest have not yet been found." Several guards saw Qu Qingxi and Qingdai appear and quickly bowed to them.
"Okay, let's find them first." Qu Qingxi nodded, indicating that she understood. It should be these people who put out the fire.
Qu Qingxi quickly walked to the front, where several people's faces were all covered in black soot that it was impossible to tell who they were.
Qu Qingxi didn't care about anything else and started taking the pulse directly, then took out silver needles and began to insert them.
Qingdai had no medical skills and couldn't offer any help, so she could only use her handkerchief to soak up water from the nearby pool and wipe their faces in order to identify them.
Qu Qingxi was very fast; in just a quarter of an hour, she had diagnosed all the people lying there.
Fortunately, they only lost consciousness because they inhaled too much smoke, and their condition was not very serious.
However, there are only seven people here, and the two most important people, Yang Qianqian and Qingzhu, are not here.
"Qingdai, go find them quickly." Without Qu Qingxi even giving her instructions, Qingdai had already run inside. However, she didn't know where Qingzhu and Yang Qianqian were, so she could only search by feeling.
At this moment, a servant who had been unconscious slowly woke up.
When he saw a woman standing beside him, he spoke in a hoarse voice, barely audible, "Who are you? Are you... are you here to rescue us?"
"Yes, it is. Where are Miss Yang and Qingzhu? Where are they now?" Qu Qingxi nodded and quickly asked while the person on the ground was still conscious.
Upon hearing that Qu Qingxi had come to rescue them, the man breathed a sigh of relief, laboriously pointed in a direction, and then fainted again.
Qu Qingxi quickly ran in the direction the person pointed. Qingdai, who came out from the other side, saw Qu Qingxi and followed her.
This was the west wing. The door to the room was rickety, and Qu Qingxi didn't dare to kick it directly, for fear that Yang Qianqian and Qingzhu were behind the door and she might hurt them.
With a slight pull, the door fell towards Qu Qingxi. She took the door off and threw it aside. Qingdai, who was following behind, was completely stunned by the scene before her.
What did the princess just do? She actually took the door down with her bare hands?
What happened to the image of a weak woman?
Qu Qingxi had no time to pay attention to what Qingdai was thinking. She quickly looked inside. Without the door to block the view, the situation inside was clear at a glance.
Yang Qianqian and Qingzhu lay there, Qingzhu on top of Yang Qianqian, with a piece of wood across Qingzhu's back. Her clothes were charred black, and most of her hair had been burned off.
Yang Qianqian's situation was slightly better than Qingzhu's; she only had one arm burned.
Qingdai carefully removed the piece of wood that was blocking Qingzhu's back, gently calling Qingzhu's name, but she dared not touch Qingzhu. Her injuries were too severe, and Qingdai did not know where to begin.
Qu Qingxi took a deep breath and stepped forward, and together with Qingdai, they carefully helped Qingzhu up, one on each side.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please look at Qingzhu! How is Qingzhu now?" Qingdai was so anxious that she was almost crying.
Looking at the motionless Qingzhu, Qingdai didn't dare to check if she was still breathing. She had grown up with Qingzhu since childhood and they were like sisters. She couldn't imagine what Qingzhu had gone through.
Qu Qingxi nodded, first reaching out to check Qingzhu's breathing, then breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was still alive, still breathing.
As long as they are alive, Qu Qingxi has a way to bring them back to life.
Qu Qingxi had just checked on Yang Qianqian. Relatively speaking, Yang Qianqian's condition was better, but she was still unconscious. Qingzhu's condition was much more serious, so Qu Qingxi started to treat Qingzhu first.
First, wipe Qingzhu's cheeks clean with a handkerchief, then take a century-old ginseng from her sleeve and hand it to Qingdai, saying, "Find a place to wash it clean, then slice it and bring it over."
"Yes." Qingdai was very flustered and didn't even notice where the ginseng came from. She just followed Qu Qingxi's instructions and ran outside with the ginseng.
Qingzhu's current condition is not suitable for moving, so Qu Qingxi can only treat her on the spot. Fortunately, there is no more smoke here.
With Qingdai absent, Qu Qingxi had an easier time. She took a syringe and glucose directly from her spatial storage and injected them into Qingzhu's body to help her conserve her strength.
Then, she quickly pricked Qingzhu's upper body with silver needles. Although Qingzhu was wearing clothes, Qu Qingxi was already very familiar with the acupoints on the human body. Even without looking, she knew where each acupoint was.
After a few needles, Qingzhu's breathing became slightly more noticeable, and Qu Qingxi also breathed a brief sigh of relief.
After stabilizing Qingzhu's condition, he quickly went to Yang Qianqian's side, injected her with glucose, and then began acupuncture.
When Qingdai returned, she saw that the two people lying on the ground were covered with silver needles. Qingdai couldn't even count how many silver needles had been used.
Qingdai put the prepared ginseng slices into the mouths of the two people and saw that their condition seemed to have improved a lot. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qingdai, have five carriages from the Prince's Mansion come and pick up the people. They should be padded with soft cushions inside." This place has been burned beyond recognition and is not suitable for living or recuperating.
"Yes, Your Highness, I'll go right away." Qingdai nodded solemnly; she had her own way of delivering messages.
By the time everyone had been moved to the Prince's Palace, it was already afternoon.
He Liufeng also knew about this and rushed over to check on the situation.
When He Liufeng arrived, Qu Qingxi was giving Qingzhu acupuncture and also prescribed some medicine, asking Qingdai to personally go down and brew it.
Seeing that Qu Qingxi was busy, He Liufeng wisely refrained from disturbing her and quietly sat aside watching everything.
He Liufeng has already ordered people to investigate the situation there, and the results should be available soon.
