The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 652: justice
Chapter 652 Justice
Liu was so panicked that her whole body was shaking. When she stepped over the threshold, she couldn’t lift her legs and almost tripped over it. Fortunately, Nanny Luo beside her supported Liu, and she was able to stumble and walk to the corridor of the upper room.
Xiao Rongyan stood under the corridor and saw Second Madam Liu stepping onto the steps. He bowed to her and said, “Second Madam Bai, please allow me to wait here for news. I will leave when I know that Miss Bai is safe.”
If Xiao Rongyan had not brought people here today and deployed troops in the front yard, they would never have been able to stop those bandits outside the first gate of the Princess Zhenguo. Liu was already grateful to Xiao Rongyan, and at the moment, Liu really couldn’t take care of Xiao Rongyan. She choked up and nodded, then stepped into the upper room of Qinghui Courtyard.
Lupin saluted towards Xiao Rongyan: “Mr. Xiao, please wait in the side room for a while!”
Xiao Rongyan nodded and followed Lupin to the side room to drink tea, but he couldn’t sit still in the side room. Hearing the noise coming from the upper room, he stood up and walked under the eaves, only to see Liu and that Nanny Luo hurriedly leaving, muttering something about how fortunately she kept the hundred-year-old ginseng, which would definitely be useful.
Xiao Rongyan stared at the rain curtain dripping in lines under the eaves, feeling extremely anxious.
In the upper room.
Bai Qingyan asked Doctor Hong to find an excuse to send Second Madam Liu away, and she actually sat up slowly. She slowly said, “This serious injury was a trap I set up so that I could return to Shuoyang safely! Doctor Hong… If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes to ask later, tell him that my injury is extremely serious and I won’t live for a few more years.”
Doctor Hong has already examined Bai Qingyan’s injuries and found that there were indeed no injuries to his vital parts, which shows that the archer’s archery skills are extremely superb.
Bai Jinse gritted her teeth, knowing that this was a trap set by Bai Qingyan, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
If only she were older and smarter, she could help her elder sister, instead of letting her elder sister…
“I understand! Don’t worry, young lady. I will have a good talk with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later! Miss Lu, please give her acupuncture to stop the bleeding. I will wash my hands and remove the arrow for her later.” Doctor Hong said.
“Yes!” Lu Ninghua responded, and used a pair of scissors that had been burned by fire to cut open the clothes on Bai Qingyan’s chest and back. She used cotton cloth that had been scalded by boiling water to clean Bai Qingyan’s wounds, and after giving her an acupuncture needle to stop the bleeding, she stepped aside to make room for Doctor Hong.
Doctor Hong had treated Bai Qingyan’s injuries before and knew that Bai Qingyan had great endurance.
Bai Qingyan sat cross-legged with his back to Doctor Hong, his head covered with beads of sweat.
Doctor Hong held Bai Qingyan’s shoulder with one hand and held the arrow tail with the other…
Bai Jinse’s throat was churning. She looked up at Doctor Hong with a calm gaze and clenched the fine cotton cloth in her hand. Doctor Hong had just instructed that as soon as he pulled out the arrow, he should let Bai Jinse and Lu Ninghua hold the wound.
“Miss…” Doctor Hong called Bai Qingyan.
Bai Jinse thought that Doctor Hong was going to tell Bai Qingyan to prepare to pull out the arrow, but she didn’t expect that as soon as the words fell, Doctor Hong pulled out the arrow steadily and accurately.
Bai Qingyan let out a muffled groan, and blood splattered all over Bai Jinse’s face. However, Lu Ninghua reacted quickly. She pressed Bai Qingyan’s wound with a piece of fine cotton cloth and took out the golden needle to stop the bleeding for Bai Qingyan.
Bai Jinse also hurriedly stood up and pressed the wound, tears falling uncontrollably, and she called Bai Qingyan tremblingly: “Elder sister…”
Bai Qingyan tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He felt as if his breathing was stagnant, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead…
She didn’t want to make her family worry, especially her younger sister, but this method didn’t work… She couldn’t send Bai Jinzhi to Anping Camp to take control of the Anping army. Otherwise… she couldn’t return to Shuoyang safely.
After Lu Ninghua gave the acupuncture, she and Bai Jinse pressed the wound for a long time, and the bleeding gradually stopped… Lu Ninghua took the medicine powder prepared by Doctor Hong and sprinkled it on Bai Qingyan, then bandaged Bai Qingyan’s wound.
Doctor Hong outside the screen wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief, and carefully looked at the feather arrow that pierced Bai Qingyan. He found that it was indeed a feather arrow from the Nandu Army. It seemed that the young lady had made very thorough preparations.
Doctor Hong planned that if the prince came later, he would show the feather arrow to the prince for a good look, as it could be considered as evidence.
“What’s wrong? What happened to Princess Zhenguo?!” The prince asked loudly as he stepped into the main gate of Qinghui Courtyard.
The guards originally planned to let the prince wait in the main hall, but the prince rushed to the back house without saying a word. Who dared to stop him? The guards of the Bai family could only follow the prince all the way to Qinghui Courtyard.
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Rongyan came out from the side room and bowed to the prince: “Your Highness…”
The blood on Xiao Rongyan’s body mixed with the rain dyed a large area red, which was shocking and made the prince’s throat churn.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. Doctor Hong is treating the patient inside!”
Upon hearing the sound, Doctor Hong came out from the upper room of Qinghui Courtyard with a feather arrow in his hand and bowed to the prince.
The prince hurried forward to help Doctor Hong up and said, “Doctor Hong, how is the Princess Zhenguo?”
“Your Highness, the Princess Zhenguo was seriously injured this time. She had just recovered recently, but this arrow… injured her heart and lungs. Even if she can survive this time… I’m afraid she only has three to five years left to live.” Doctor Hong’s eyes were red when he said this. He gritted his teeth and handed the feather arrow to the prince, then knelt down and kowtowed, “Your Highness, please do justice for our eldest girl!”
Inside the house, Chuntao’s suppressed crying could be heard. The prince’s throat churned, and he lowered his eyes to look at the feather arrow in his hand, clenching it tightly. Originally, this was the feather arrow that Liu Ruofu was going to use to kill him!
If Princess Zhenguo hadn’t been protecting him, he would have been the one who got hurt.
“Doctor Hong, even you have no other solution?” The prince bent down and helped Doctor Hong up.
Doctor Hong shook his head, tears flashing in his eyes. “Your Highness knows that the young lady was seriously injured in her early years and her Dantian was injured, which left a root of the disease. This time… it is even more heartbreaking. Not to mention me… even if my master were alive, I’m afraid he would be… powerless! If the young lady can survive these three days, take good care of herself, and don’t worry about it anymore, maybe… she can live a few more days.”
The prince stared at the arrow in his hand with hatred, listening to the sound of rain. After a while, he said, “The princess came to save me this time, so she suffered this disaster. I… will never let the assassin go!”
The prince looked up at Doctor Hong and said, “Doctor Hong, no matter what herbs you need, just send someone to the Prince’s Mansion to get them! As long as they can save the life of the Princess!”
“I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of the eldest lady!” Doctor Hong acted as if he was in tears of gratitude.
The prince turned his head and looked at Xiao Rongyan again: “Rongyan, please take care of the Princess Zhenguo here. I will personally catch the assassin and seek justice for the Princess Zhenguo!”
Xiao Rongyan bowed to the prince and said, “Don’t worry, Your Highness!”
The prince did not step into Bai Qingyan’s boudoir out of courtesy, and turned around and left in the rain.
