Yu Wenhao was woken up by people from Jingzhao Mansion in the middle of the night. He carefully put on his clothes and went out without disturbing Yuan Qingling, who was sleeping deeply.
When he learned that King Qi had been assassinated, he first ordered people to block the city gate and conduct a strict search.
Then he took Xu Yitangyang and Cao Yuyi and rode straight to the annex of Prince Qi's Mansion.
King Qi was seriously injured, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he still had one breath left. Someone had already entered the palace to ask the eighth prince for the Purple Gold Pill, but they had not returned yet.
Yuan Yongyi stood beside the bed injured, crying until her tears were dry. King Qi lay on the bed like a lifeless doll, and the hot water used to clean the wound came in and turned into blood.
His breathing seemed to be gone, and if he hadn't checked his pulse, there would be almost no sign of life.
"Your Majesty," Dr. Cao pulled him out with a solemn expression, "King Qi was stabbed eight times, three on each hand and foot, one on his lower abdomen and one on his chest. The one on his chest was deviated from his heart, so he can survive until now, but every time he was stabbed
Tou Gu, the situation is very pessimistic and there is nothing I can do. Should I invite the princess to come over?"
After hearing this, Yu Wenhao's heart sank, and without hesitation, he turned around and asked Xu Yi and Tang Yang to send Yuan Qing Ling over, and be sure to bring all the forbidden troops with him on the way.
The people who discovered the assassination were people from the patrol camp. They immediately went to the palace to report to the emperor, and also ordered people to go to Jingzhao Mansion, so the people on duty in Jingzhao Mansion could quickly inform Yu Wenhao.
But now, the people patrolling the city are still guarding the King Qi's courtyard to prevent any more assassins.
Yu Wenhao went to ask, "Have the assassins been caught? How many were there? What weapons were used?"
"Back to your lord, when I arrived, the assassin had already escaped, but it can be seen that the assassin used a scimitar, the horse was killed by an arrow, and none of the accompanying guards survived."
"Scimitar?" Yu Wenhao raised his furious eyes, remembering the puppet incident, the boss was besieging him in the house, and those people in the world were using scimitars.
"That's right, there should be six or seven assassins, and all of them use scimitars." The patrol guard said.
"Have weapons been found at the scene?" Yu Wenhao asked.
"No, the killer retreated very quickly." Bingwei hesitated, "My lord, I have something to say in my humble position, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Say it!" Yu Wenhao's eyes flashed and he said.
Bingwei lowered his voice and said: "Beizi once drank several times with a coach from Prince Ji's Mansion. Tonight, Beizi saw a person, and his back looked exactly like him, but I'm not sure."
Yu Wenhao stared at him, "Is there anything special about this back?"
Bingwei said: "This man is hunched over, which is quite serious, but he is very good at Qing Gong. I have seen him use Qing Gong before."
"Hunchback?" Yu Wenhao squinted his eyes and thought for a moment. Indeed, when he started doing it that day, there was a man with a hunchback. Not only was that man good at Qinggong, but he was also very good at lower body movements, and was especially good at chain kicks.
Are you from Prince Ji's Mansion?
If the eldest son takes action at this time, he is either crazy or eager to compete for the crown prince's position. After getting rid of the legitimate son, he, the eldest son, is left with the loudest voice.
But is this action faster?
Bingwei said: "Your Majesty, I dare not tell the Emperor this because of my humble position. I can only talk to you in private. After all, I am not sure about my humble position. As for whether your Majesty will inform the Emperor or whether it needs to be verified again, please leave it to your Majesty to decide."
Yu Wenhao raised his hand to ask him to step back.
He looked at Tang Yang, who stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, someone from this humble position will keep an eye on him."
"Start at those who laugh at Hongchen." Yu Wenhao said coldly.
"Understood." Tang Yang turned around and left.
After a while, the emperor and empress came in person, bringing two purple golden elixirs.
When the queen saw King Qi like this, she cried so hard that even Emperor Ming Yuan turned red-eyed. In anger, she ordered Yu Wenhao to hunt down the assassin and bring him to justice, otherwise he would be dismissed from his post and investigated.
Yu Wenhao said: "Father, don't worry, I have ordered the whole city to search for you."
Emperor Ming Yuan said angrily: "What are you still doing here? Take people out to search for these assassins. I want to see them alive and their bodies dead."
Yu Wenhao originally wanted to wait for Yuan Qing Ling to come, but because of his father's anger, he did not dare to contradict him like before, so he quickly received the order and took Tang Yang away.
As soon as Xu returned home, he immediately asked Man'er to invite Yuan Qing to stand up.
Yuan Qingling was in a daze when she heard that King Qi had been assassinated and was seriously injured. She woke up immediately and realized that Lao Wu had gone out.
She dragged her clumsy body out of bed, put on two thick clothes at random, opened the medicine box and checked that the equipment and medicines were complete. She asked Man'er to carry the medicine box and set off immediately.
The carriage was ready. In this dark night, apart from the cold wind, there was the sound of dogs barking in the distance. Duobao followed alertly to the door and jumped on the carriage.
Yuan Qingling first coaxed it to come down, but Duobao was stubborn and didn't want to. Yuan Qingling couldn't waste time and could only take it away.
The government soldiers opened the way, and the imperial troops followed. Xu Yi drove the carriage, Man'er sat in front, and Grandma Xi and Duobao accompanied Yuan Qingling in the carriage, so that she could take care of the princess in case she suddenly felt unwell.
Yuan Qingling was very anxious. She opened the curtain and asked Xu Yi, who was driving the car, "Is King Qi's injury really serious?"
Xu Yi said in a deep voice: "Eight stabs were stabbed in the body, three on each hand and foot, and one on the abdomen and chest. The wounds were deep and a lot of blood was lost. Now the breathing is weak, the pulse is sometimes there and sometimes not, and the Purple Gold Pill has not been delivered yet."
Hearing this, Yuan Qingling took a deep breath.
I hope the injuries to my hands and feet were only minor and did not damage the major arteries.
However, the abdomen and heart are also very uncomfortable.
She opened the medicine box, which contained hemostatic agents, anesthetics, and first-aid medicines, two oxygen pillows, and scalpels. It could be seen that the medicine box was prepared for surgery.
However, how can this operation be performed without a sterile operating room?
The medicine box is so fully equipped, it can be seen that the injury must be serious.
Can King Qi survive this disaster?
Yuan Qingling was very worried.
What is even more worrying is her physical strength. Even if she is really qualified for surgery, she does not have the physical strength for surgery.
When Yuan Qing Ling was worried, she suddenly heard Xu Yi yell, "Stop, there are assassins, protect the princess!"
The carriage stopped at high speed, Yuan Qing leaned forward and backward, and Aunt Xi hugged her hurriedly.
Xu Yi and Man'er held swords and stared at the dark left. Sure enough, they saw the archers attacking. They flew up and slashed at the arrows. The government soldiers and the imperial guards guarded the carriage and told Yuan Qing Ling not to come out.
Yuan Qingling could only hear the sound of swords and halberds outside, the carriage shook a few times, and the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air coming quickly. At this time, her hearing was very sharp again.
Duobao's ears are erect, he is squatting half-crouched, and his front paws are stretched out, forming a posture of pounce at any time.
The imperial troops shot down the arrows that kept coming.
Xu Yi was furious and said, "Defense is not a solution. Leave a few people to guard the princess, and let me go with the rest."
Only by killing or capturing the archers can the crisis be resolved.
Xu Yi led his soldiers and two imperial troops to ambush the archers, leaving six people, Man'er and Nanny Xi to guard Yuan Qingling.
The six people formed a siege and defended against the flying arrows, while Man'er protected them at the front of the car.
"Princess, don't panic, it's okay." Aunt Xi was steady and composed, almost her whole body was in front of Yuan Qingling, and she did not forget to reassure her.
