Xiang Si Zi rushed to help him, almost spilling the fresh blood in the bowl, but someone else flashed in like the wind and caught Yun Zhuo even faster than him.
It was General Lan. He held Yun Zhuo's shoulder, looked at his wrist, and then at Ye Qingxue on the bed. He was shocked and moved.
The last time I saw the two of them was only twelve hours ago.
They looked fine then, but now they are covered in wounds, pale, and unconscious.
"Chunqian, bandage the Crown Prince's wrist," Xiangsi Zi said. He had originally planned to bandage Yunzhuo himself, but he was worried that the blood would clot and cause him to miss the time to apply the medicine.
Fortunately, all four of them—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—had learned simple bandaging techniques from him, so they could manage.
Time was of the essence, so Xiangsi Zi didn't bother to find out who General Lan was.
After instructing Chunqian, he placed the blood bowl on the small table by the bedside, then took out the pills from the box, took a deep breath, and put the pills into the blood.
The pills, which looked somewhat hard, were quickly dissolved in Yun Zhuo's blood.
Xiang Si Zi thought to herself, if this pill could truly save Ye Qingxue's life after being absorbed into the bloodstream, she would definitely ask Xiao Bao later how the pill was made and what the rules were regarding whose blood was used in the medicine.
Madam Zhou sat on the edge of the bed and helped Ye Qingxue up from the bed, letting her lean against her chest.
Xia Lu also stepped forward to help and opened Ye Qingxue's mouth.
Yun Zhuo's wrist had already been bandaged. General Lan said, "His Majesty has decreed that I bring His Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace as soon as possible. I shall take my leave now!"
He carried Yun Zhuo on his back and glanced at Ye Qingxue.
General Lan always remembered that it was she who cleared Ye Cunsi's name, exposed that scoundrel Ye Cunjin, and gave his daughter the courage to live again. Therefore, she sincerely hoped that Ye Qingxue would be alright.
General Lan then said, "Once His Highness the Crown Prince has finished his business, I will definitely bring my wife to visit Miss Ye."
After saying that, he walked away with Yun Zhuo on his back, his steps as swift as the wind.
The people inside didn't even have time to say a word.
Xiang Si Zi picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of blood medicine, and prepared to put it into Ye Qingxue's mouth, but unexpectedly someone barged in.
"My eldest sister has injured several elders in the family, claiming it's to cleanse the Marquis's mansion of evil influences. Unfortunately, the biggest evil influence is actually my eldest sister herself, who dared to harbor the deposed crown prince!"
It was Ye Yabing who arrived with her men.
"Now the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion is surrounded by the Emperor's men. If you don't want to die, go in now, capture the young lady, and hand her over to the soldiers! Otherwise, we will all be thrown into prison and buried with Ye Qingxue and the deposed Crown Prince!"
Xiangsizi and the others immediately tensed up.
Tan Shan and the others had been assigned to follow Yun Zhuo earlier and did not return with him; Qiu Shen was still dealing with the soldiers outside the Marquis's mansion; Dong Bai and Bai Qi were both injured; Ye Qingxue was unconscious.
Those inside the house were all weak people, and Xiangsizi had run out of the sleeping potion she had prepared, and she hadn't had time to develop any recently...
If Ye Yabing were to send people in, they would be no match for her!
However, the action of feeding the medicine with Xiangsizi only paused for a moment before continuing. The action was unhurried and not a single drop of blood was spilled.
Xia Lu and Madam Zhou kept a close and tense watch on the doorway.
Ye Cunsi said, "Sister Chunqian and I are guarding the door. If Ye Yabing wants to bring people in to hurt my sister, she'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Madam Zhou and Xia Lu both pursed their lips. Although they knew it would be difficult, they had no choice but to let Ye Cunsi hold the line for the time being.
If Ye Cunsi hadn't been in a wheelchair, he might have been able to stop Ye Yabing, but alas...
Han Yu, who is by Ye Yabing's side, is very difficult to deal with!
Ye Cunsi and Chunqian stood guard at the door, while Xiangsizi continued to feed her medicine.
When Ye Yabing saw that the people guarding the door were Ye Cunsi and Chun Qian, she sneered, "Go in and take Ye Qingxue away to the authorities!"
"Holding a deposed crown prince was her doing alone, it has nothing to do with us! Our Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion has always been loyal to the Emperor, and we are not a deposed crown prince!"
Ye Yabing rushed over at this moment not only because of her personal grudge against Ye Qingxue and her desire to make Ye Qingxue die without a burial place, but also because she genuinely did not want to be implicated by Ye Qingxue's crime of harboring a deposed crown prince.
In just over two months, she will become the Princess Consort of Ding. She absolutely cannot let Ye Qingxue ruin her path to success!
Moreover, she remembered that today was the tenth day. By this time, Ye Qingxue should have already died and was no longer able to resist her!
Han Yu immediately led the guards out from behind Ye Yabing, intending to rush into the house to capture Ye Qingxue.
Ye Cunsi's gaze was sharp as a blade, and he was prepared to perish together with them, but at that moment, Dong Bai stepped out from behind him.
She hadn't changed out of her blood-stained clothes, and her wounds hadn't been treated. Wherever she went, she left behind bright red bloodstains.
Bai Qi's white fur was also covered in blood, and his condition was not much better than Dong Bai's. But at this moment, the man and the wolf looked just like soldiers on the battlefield. With the enemy in front of them, they were determined not to retreat a single step.
Behind them, Xiang Si Zi was not being able to feed the medicine smoothly. Ye Qingxue was barely alive and could no longer swallow.
He had to move very slowly, and feed her small sips, letting the liquid slide slowly down her throat.
"It seems you are all seriously injured. Get out of my way. I just need to take Ye Qingxue away and hand her over to the authorities!" Ye Yabing increasingly disregarded the people of Lixue Residence.
She continued, "If you don't hand over Ye Qingxue voluntarily, even as her closest people, you will not escape death!"
