Chapter 141 An Assassination
Chapter 141 An Assassination
The carriage came to an abrupt halt.
Prince Wendu lifted the carriage curtain as Xu Yi said in a deep voice, “Keep stay! We are in trouble.”
The head that Prince Wendu had just poked out, immediately shrank back.
There was something that quickly cut through the air brushing from Xu yi’s side.
If Xu Yi had not turned sideways, this arrow was directly through his head.
“There’s an assassin!” Xu Yi was furious and told the boy to drive the carriage while he waved his
sword to ward off dangerous arrows.
Yuan Qingling suddenly snapped up when he heard that there was an assassin.
There were more ways to cause Yu Wenhuai’s death than poison.
Her death was a great loss to him as he would be dead easy without the treatment from her.
She had always felt that something was wrong today, and it turned out that the enemy was not only
after Yu Wenhuai, but also after her.
There were not many assassins and they did not show themselves, only arrows, which flew very fast in
twos and threes arrows, so Xu Yi guessed that there were probably only three assassins.
As long as the horses were not shot and kept running out, the enemy would not be able to catch up
and would have a chance to live.
However, something bad happened. all that could be heard was a miserable neigh from the horse, its
legs fell to its knees and the carriage tumbled to.
Nurse Xi held Yuan Qingling tightly and she wanted to stop the horse in front of her.
The Prince Wendu was so bulky that after he fell to the ground, he could not stand up even after
struggling a few times. Yuan Qingling stepped forward to help, and an arrow flew quickly into Yuan
Qingling’s leg.
A sharp pain quickly spread throughout her body.
It was dark, the boy’s lantern had been thrown away, there was no illumination, and as long as they
kept quiet, the enemy could not detect it.
Therefore, Yuan Qingling’s eyes were tearing up with pain, but she did not cry out. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Another arrow flew over and stuck straight into Yuan Qingling’s shoulder.
Nurse Xi was so frightened that she panicked.
Xu Yi rushed over in the direction the arrow flew from and shouted back in a stern voice, “Please take
her away.”
The arrows came thick and fast with fire.
Prince Wendu finally managed to stand up and tried to reach out to help Yuan Qingling, but the rockets
came swiftly and could not take Yuan Qingling away immediately for the arrows, which came straight
for Yuan Qingling’s heart.
Nurse Xi was pulling behind Yuan Qingling and could only watch as the arrow flew over, the arrow’s
flaming light making her face pale.
Yuan Qingling was struck by an arrow in her leg and shoulder, unable to move at all, and closed her
eyes, waiting for the fatal shot.
At that moment, she thought of Yu Wenhao.
The sound of an arrow piercing into flesh came, and blood splashed on Yuan Qingling’s face.
Yuan Qingling opened her eyes and could dimly see a man sitting on his knees in front of her, it was
Prince Wendu.
He had blocked the arrow for her!
Yuan Qingling was horrified, “Yu Wendu! How are you?”
Prince Wendu slowly collapsed, his mouth saying, “That braised pork elbow with soy sauce...should be
eaten.”
“Yu Wendu!” Yuan Qingling panicked and slowly felt with his uninjured hand, touching the arrow behind
him.
Oh my god, where had the arrow been inserted? Was it the back lung?
Xu Yi got defensive success and found the location of the enemy, and after a fight, all three were killed.
He ran back to Yuan Qingling with his long sword dripping blood, dripping down from his left arm. The
arrow glanced off his arm on the final blow.
With all his might, he yelled at Prince Wendu’s boy, who was already half dead with fear, “Go to the
government office to find Prince Wenhao!”
Only then did the servant respond and run away.
“Your Highness, are you okay?” Xu Yi’s voice was out of tune in the darkness.
“I’m fine. How about Prince Wendu?” Yuan Qingling said in an urgent voice.
She felt pain, a blackness before her eyes, and slowly collapsed.
She heard Yu Wenhao’s voice with dazed consciousness as he was gently patting her face that his
voice was on the verge of tears. She wanted to open her eyes and tell him that she was fine, but she
didn’t even have the power to hold her eyelids open.
The darkness was coming on, like a great whirlwind, and it was terrible that she was afraid of.
She knew he had picked her up and was running fast, and he kept calling her name, but she was in so
much pain which was like fainting.
Yu Wenhao was going crazy.
The boy came to him at the government office and said that the princess had been assassinated, at
that moment, he panicked like never before.
He had driven his horse as fast as he could, but Fucheng was so calm that he ordered a carriage.
When he saw Yuan Qingling fall in a pool of blood, his heart stopped beating.
She had smiled sweetly at him when he had left the Yu Wenhuai’s Residence, and that smile had
remained imprinted on his mind today.
“Don’t fall asleep! Let’s go home.” He said with choked voice as he carried her to the carriage.
He knew that Yu Wendu’s situation was also critical, but he could no longer care.
Xu Yi had gone to the gate of the imperial palace all night to ask for help. There were originally imperial
doctors at the Yu Wenhuai’s Residence, but they had returned to the imperial palace in the past few
days.
However, the imperial palace gates were closed and the guards would not inform them. Xu Yi had no
choice but to go to Gu Si as he did not dare to make a fuss about the imperial palace.
When Gu Si heard about it, he was appalled and hurriedly spurred his horse to the imperial doctor
department who was not on duty.
Strangely, some of the off-duty imperial doctors had been ill today, vomiting and having diarrhea,
saying that there was a problem with the food in the Royal Hospital.
Once the gates had closed, no one could enter unless they were holding Emperor Mingyuan’s token,
so the doctors inside could not be invited out.
None of the princes had a token from the emperor, except one, Prince Rui.
Gu Si went to Prince Rui, who was informed and went into the palace without hesitation, and when the
imperial doctor got there, it was two hours later.
Prince Wendu had given Yu Wenhaoa a Violet God Pill that Yu Wenhao gave him to eat, temporarily
maintaining his life.
This Violet God Pill saved Prince Wendu’s life, and his condition was stable until the doctor arrived.
Princess Sun was here and she was quite a general that she didn’t panic at all, she just looked on and
gave a hand when it mattered.
The arrow had grazed the back of the lung, and if it had missed by one centimeter, it would have struck
the back of the lung.
But with that much blood loss and the arrow shot so sharply and heavily, it still posed a threat to his life.
So did Yuan Qingling for losing blood quickly.
Although Xu Yi had punctuated her points to stop the bleeding, she had lost a lot of blood while Xu Yi
was dealing with those assassins.
This was the main reason why she was still unconscious.
Yu Wenhao’s entire body was numb because he was holding Yuan Qingling so that the imperial doctor
could pull the arrows.
The moment he watched the blood splash out, Yuan Qingling’s body went limp and there was a
momentary pause in her breathing as he thought she was going to die.
It was only when he saw that she was breathing, had a pulse and a heartbeat that he could rest
assured.
But the situation was not good at all, Yuan Qingling was unconscious all the time, the medicine to stop
the bleeding could not be drunk, he took out her medicine box to find some medicine, but for some
reason that medicine box was so small when he took it out, it did not get bigger.
As he stood by the bedside, he was so disoriented that he didn’t dare to blink, lest if he did, she would
suddenly stop breathing.
Yuan Qingling’s mind was clear the whole time.
She knew everything, it was just that she was unable to move as if she was being pressed by a ghost.
She was awake, but she wasn’t awake.
She was terrified, there were many voices around her, and everything she saw was a black vortex
trying to suck her in, she tried hard to escape from this vortex, but every time she managed to escape,
she was quickly sucked in again.
She felt dizzy and disorientated.
