Chapter 320: Deputy General Gao... has a wife and daughter, right?
Qicai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I've fed her."
Yun Zhao nodded.
Colorful walked out.
Time passes by every second.
Yun Zhao lost seven games.
The sky gradually darkened.
Yun Zhao went from anticipation to anxiety, and finally to despair.
When the last ray of light disappeared from the sky, the door at the palace entrance was pushed open heavily.
"I said that your door is too heavy. It's so inconvenient to go in and out." Xie Jingmo was grabbed by the hand by Deputy General Gao and brought in by leaning on his body.
Yun Zhao stood up suddenly.
The movements are slightly larger.
The luxurious clothes on his body moved the chessboard, and the chessboard fell to the ground, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the ground with a crisp sound.
"Empress Dowager! General Xie is back!"
Xie Jingmo rarely looked so miserable. His face was covered with scratches, there was snow on the corners of his mouth, and his clothes were torn to shreds. He looked like he had fought with the enemy for hundreds of rounds.
Xie Jingmo was supported and stood at the door, where he saw the chess pieces scattered on the ground.
Then, he laughed.
He said to Fu Hai beside him: "Go, take back your queen mother's chess pieces and let her win a good game."
Fu Hai smiled, showing his two rows of teeth, and shouted, "Okay!"
Xie Jingmo stood weakly at the door. He looked at Yun Zhao and smiled, saying, "It's okay. I'm a little tired after sparring with others. I'll go change clothes and come out soon. You can play."
After saying that, he patted Deputy General Gao, and Deputy General Gao took the man away.
During the meal, Xie Jingmo sat at the table as usual, and said to Mu Chengyan with a smile: "Regent Prince, what's wrong? No appetite? Why did you eat so little today?"
Mu Chengyan also wanted to laugh.
But at this moment, he couldn't laugh at all. He could only support himself with his hands and stand up, saying to Yun Zhao: "Queen Dowager, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
After Mu Chengyan finished speaking, he walked away.
After the person had walked quite far away, Xie Jingmo slowly put down his chopsticks, supported his knees with his hands, lowered his head, and asked, "Fu Hai, go and see if the person has gone far away?"
Fu Hai didn't understand what this meant.
But he still did as he was told, walked out, took a look, and said loudly to Xie Jingmo: "General, if you walk too far, you won't be able to see your back——"
The shadow hasn't come out yet.
With a "Puff!" sound, Xie Jingmo spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the soup on the table red.
Yun Zhao sat in his seat in shock and didn't react for a long time.
Deputy General Gao rushed in from outside and yelled, "Ancestor! Didn't I tell you not to be so stubborn and spit out blood like this? Fu Hai, please give me a hand!"
Yun Zhao sat opposite Xie Jingmo and watched her head droop lowered.
Xie Jingmo was helped out by Deputy General Gao and Fu Hai, while Yun Zhao sat in his seat motionless.
She looked at the red-stained dishes on the table and didn't say anything for a long time.
Until Fu Hai rushed over, "Empress Dowager! I'll go get the imperial physician!"
Yun Zhao finally came back to her senses. She stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Only then did Yun Zhao realize that the man had been stabbed in the stomach. He didn't know what medicine was used to stop the bleeding, but he just wrapped it with white cloth as an emergency treatment.
Yun Zhao gave him an acupuncture to stop the bleeding, treated the wound, and touched his forehead. He had a fever. She prescribed some medicine for Fu Hai and asked him to take it according to the prescription.
"Tell the people at the Imperial Hospital that if even a single word of this recipe gets leaked, I'll have everyone in the hospital buried with them!"
Fu Hai said: "Yes!"
Yun Zhao glanced at the unconscious Xie Jingmo and called Deputy General Gao out.
"Are you crazy?" Yun Zhao frowned outside the door. "He was so badly injured, and you let him in. It's such a long journey, aren't you afraid that he'll bleed to death?!"
Deputy General Gao sighed, "That's what I said, and I scolded him that way too. He insisted that Mu Chengyan, the black-bellied man, would definitely come to show off to you, and insisted on coming in to support you. You don't know, I was scared to death! The bleeding along the way couldn't be stopped, it was like gushing out. Before entering the door, I sprinkled some of the hemostatic medicine you gave me before, and then I entered."
Yun Zhao frowned, "Tell me, how did it become like this?"
Deputy General Gao said: "Xie Jingmo said that someone tricked him out and then he was surrounded. Fortunately, I arrived early, otherwise Xie Jingmo would have been hacked to death. More than 30 assassins, each holding a long knife, surrounded me and fought with Xie Jingmo as if they didn't care about their lives.
Xie Jingmo blocked the knife for me..." Deputy General Gao said in a gloomy tone, "There were too many people. Fortunately, a group of imperial guards came later. Otherwise, Xie Jingmo and I would have died there today.
Today these people are determined to kill Xie Jingmo, and they are all determined to kill him!"
Yun Zhao frowned and asked, "Do you know who this person is?"
Deputy General Gao thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. We were at a disadvantage at the time and had no time to observe. I only know that these people are not ordinary people. They must be special forces raised by someone!"
"Yun Zhao..." Deputy General Gao thought for a moment.
"Perhaps you will be unhappy when I say this, but I still have to say that I think this matter is closely related to Mu Chengyan. He has been moving step by step in order to monopolize the position of the chief examiner of the imperial examination.
They had been more restrained before, but after Yu Xiang confirmed that he was the deputy examiner, their ambitions became apparent. Xie Jingmo was too dangerous in this position.
Xie Jingmo is of royal blood and a general with illustrious military achievements. How dare someone attack him in the capital? It is conceivable that the other party must be very powerful. Aren't there only a few people in the current dynasty who dare to attack Xie Jingmo?
This is not only a challenge to Xie Jingmo, but also a challenge to the imperial power!"
Deputy General Gao was worried.
Yun Zhao just said, "I understand."
Deputy General Gao bit his lip and said, "Yun Zhao, today... it was a life-or-death experience. You can't just let this matter go just because you're protecting Mu Chengyan."
Yun Zhao nodded, "I understand."
Deputy General Gao didn't know what Yun Zhao would do. He only knew that after Yun Zhao took a few steps, he asked, "Why did he suddenly leave the palace?"
Deputy General Gao said, "Huh?" "He didn't say that."
Yun Zhao left.
Deputy General Gao sighed, "What kind of thing is this? We're living a good life, but what is Mu Chengyan doing all day long?"
Deputy General Gao pushed open Xie Jingmo's room and saw the fierce battle still taking place before his eyes.
He could still vividly remember Xie Jingmo's decisiveness in blocking the knife for him.
He lowered his head and looked at the pale Xie Jingmo, "But what should I do? I owe you another life."
Perhaps no one expected it.
Xie Jingmo would be so foolish as to use himself to block the sword for a deputy general.
"Stupid! So stupid!"
Yu Xiang smiled coldly and said: "I didn't expect Xie Jingmo to be so stupid. Deputy General Gao is just a small general from the frontier. He has no family background, no power, and no backing.
Xie Jingmo blocked the knife for her? He must have lost his mind! Hahaha——" Yu Xiang laughed wantonly, "If I had known that he would care about such a small fry, I wouldn't have had to lie to him about the thrush in the ten-mile forest. I could have just taken Deputy General Gao directly!"
Mu Chengyan stood to one side, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, "Deputy General Gao... has a wife and daughter, right?"
