Chapter 313 Breaking into the Forbidden Palace at Night and Risking One’s Life to Save Others
"Madam, the knife was inserted too close to the heart, and we are not sure whether it has injured the heart. The Crown Prince's wife has lost too much blood and her pulse is very weak! If it continues like this, I am afraid there is no way to save her! I suggest that you pull out the knife immediately and treat the bleeding! However, there is a risk. If the knife has injured the heart, once it is pulled out, the Crown Prince's wife will not survive for a few breaths!"
"If you don't draw the knife, you will definitely die! If you draw the knife, there is still a glimmer of hope, right?" the old lady asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"Where is the prince?" The old lady looked around but did not see Xiao Yan'an.
"Madam, the prince has gone to the palace to invite the imperial physician! He probably wants to ask for the divine doctor Zhong who can bring the dead back to life!" Qingluo responded immediately.
"Doesn't he know that trespassing into the Forbidden Palace is a capital crime?"
"Maybe the prince is so worried about his wife that he doesn't even care about his own life and death." Qingluo explained.
"Xu Yan'er was spoiled by him!" the old lady shouted angrily.
No one in the room dared to make a sound.
"Since he's not here, I'll be the one making the decision today!" The old lady slammed her cane into the ground, her hands trembling, and said two words firmly: "Draw your sword!"
"Yes!" The court doctor immediately prepared medicine and gauze to stop bleeding, grasped the handle of the knife and pulled it out with force.
Ji Chuhe groaned in pain and subconsciously arched his body like a shrimp.
In an instant, blood gushed out from the wound on the back!
"Child!" The old lady called out uncontrollably, "He'er, hold on!"
Ji Chuhe's body spasmed, as if the pain was unbearable, and he fell into a deep coma. His body had this instinctive reaction!
The old lady burst into tears.
Qingluo also turned around and burst into tears.
The court doctor's face and body were covered in blood. He didn't even bother to wipe it off and hurried forward to apply medicine to the wounds to stop the bleeding.
"May God bless you! May all the gods bless you, may the ancestors of the Rong family bless you! May this child Chuhe safely survive this disaster." The old lady prayed non-stop.
Finally, the bleeding stopped.
The court doctor reached out and held Ji Chuhe's wrist, and when he felt a weak pulse, he let out a long sigh.
"Madam, the Crown Prince's wife did not suffer any heart injury!"
The old lady immediately opened her eyes, walked to the bedside and stroked Ji Chuhe's pale little face with heartache.
"He'er, grandma knew that you are blessed with a good fortune! If you survive a disaster, you will surely have good fortune in the future!"
"Madam, the Crown Prince's wife is still in danger. She has lost too much blood and her body temperature is much lower than that of a normal person. If she doesn't make it, her life will be in danger."
"Has the medicine from the Duke's Mansion arrived?" the old lady asked outside.
Just now, she left in a hurry and the servants were still looking for medicine. She ordered them to take all the good medicines in the Duke's Mansion with them.
It should have been delivered by now.
"Madam! Here it comes, the medicine is here!"
"House doctor, please take a quick look and see which of these medicines can be used! In other words, if there is any medicine that can work on He'er, just tell me!"
The court doctor found a few and held them in his hand, "Madam, these are all useful medicines for the Crown Prince's wife."
"Give it to her quickly."
……
Xiao Yanan rushed into the city wall outside the palace on horseback.
"Who dares to trespass into the Forbidden Palace? If you take another step forward, you will be killed!"
"I am Xiao Yan'an, the prince of Huaiyang Palace! I have something extremely urgent to discuss, and I would like to see the emperor!"
"Anyone who trespasses into the Forbidden Palace will be killed!" A cold voice came from the city wall.
Then, countless bows and arrows tightened their bowstrings and aimed at Xiao Yanan.
Xiao Yan'an looked around, then suddenly squeezed the horse's belly and rushed forward!
"Don't die!"
"He's coming!"
"Sir, he is Xiao Yan'an, the prince of Huaiyang Palace! Do you really want to shoot him?"
The city guard raised his bow and arrow, and with a flick of his fingertips, the arrow flew through the air and pierced the horse's head! The horse neighed and fell to the ground!
Xiao Yan'an also lost control and fell off the horse.
Immediately afterwards, the second arrow shot over.
Xiao Yan'an immediately turned around and dodged.
He didn't stop, got up and continued running forward!
"Swoosh!" Another arrow shot over, brushing past his shoulder and leaving a bloody mark on his shoulder!
"Your Highness, if you take another step forward, don't blame me for being merciless!"
"My wife has been assassinated and her life is hanging by a thread! I would like to ask the Emperor to come out of the palace and treat my wife!"
"Tomorrow morning, after the palace curfew, when the palace gates are wide open and all officials are attending court, the prince will come again."
"No! Human lives are at stake! We can't wait until tomorrow!"
"If His Royal Highness insists on having his own way, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xiao Yan'an took another step forward.
"Swoosh!" The arrow shot again.
Xiao Yan'an suddenly exerted force and rushed forward regardless of everything!
The arrow missed.
"Swoosh!" The arrow came towards him and pierced his chest.
Xiao Yan'an's body was pushed back a few steps by the powerful impact and fell heavily to the ground.
Suddenly, a figure with a lamp came quickly.
"Commander Xue! Show mercy! Do not harm the prince's life!"
"Go, eunuch!" When Commander Xue saw the people below the city wall, he immediately put down his bow and arrow and jumped down from the city wall.
"Prince Xiao broke into the Forbidden Palace..."
"With such a big commotion, the emperor knows about it. Open the palace gate and let Prince Xiao in."
"Yes."
Xiao Yan'an looked down at the arrow that had pierced his shoulder blade, broke the arrow tail with force, wiped the blood from his mouth, and strode inside.
The emperor had not yet gone to bed. When he saw Xiao Yan'an walking in covered in blood, he threw away the things in his hands.
"Your Majesty, my wife has been assassinated and is on the verge of death. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to bring Imperial Physician Zhong to the Prince's Mansion to treat my wife!"
"Assassinated? There was an assassin in the prince's mansion? Was the assassin caught?"
"Yes, he is someone from the mansion, not an assassin in the true sense."
Seeing Xiao Yan'an hesitating, the emperor did not ask any further questions, "Chao Sihai, ask Imperial Physician Zhong to accompany the prince."
"Yes." Eunuch Chao immediately withdrew from the arrangements.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Yan'an immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.
"It is a capital crime to trespass into the Forbidden Palace. Considering that you are saving people, the death penalty can be spared, but the punishment of life cannot be escaped. Wait until you have dealt with the affairs of the mansion, then come and confess your crime!"
"Yes! I'll take my leave." Xiao Yan'an turned and ran out.
The emperor looked at Xiao Yan'an's departing back, his eyes dimmed, "Love between men and women is useless!"
The eunuch returned to the hall and stood respectfully aside.
"What happened?" the emperor asked calmly.
"Aunt Dong in the Crown Prince's Mansion gave birth today. After accompanying the Crown Prince's wife during the birth, she carried the newborn baby back to the main courtyard, where she was assassinated by another concubine, Aunt Xu. In order to protect the baby, the Crown Prince's wife was stabbed in the back." Eunuch Chao continued when he saw that the Emperor did not react.
"Mrs. Xu was bewitched by someone, and that's why she did such a crazy thing! This incident was directed at the wife of the Crown Prince, and the purpose was to take her life."
"They wanted to kill Ji Chuhe. That must be the work of the Luo family."
