Chapter 58: Injuries

Ye Xuemei waved her hand at him and said, "No need to salute, go in and see the prince!" ”

When they went in together, they saw that Gongliang Yuzhi was injured, and a small black arrow was stuck in his left arm, and at the moment blood soaked his clothes.

The doctor stepped forward to check the injury and then stopped Gongliang: "Lord Wang, although your injury is not very serious, this small arrow is full of barbs, if it is forcibly pulled out, the blood and blood will not stop flowing, and you will not be able to return to the sky!" This injury is very tricky, and the villain is not sure, so the prince should go and ask the imperial doctor! ”

Seeing this, Manager Cai also panicked, and he immediately wanted to send someone to ask for a doctor, at this time, Ye Xuemei stepped forward and said: "Since this situation is so complicated, even if the doctor comes, it is useless." Well, I saw a good prescription in a medical book earlier, which is especially effective in treating arrow wounds and stopping bleeding. Can be used to give it a try. As she spoke, she wrote down the prescription and handed it to the doctor, who took the prescription and said, "Some of them are more tricky, and the villain didn't carry them with him, so he went to the house to buy these medicines neatly." The prince has to hold on, the villain will come back in half an hour! ”

Gongliang agreed to the doctor, and the doctor hurriedly went back to his house to buy medicinal materials.

After experiencing some panic, Gongliang looked at Ye Xuemei and said, "Why are you here?" You're too weak to see such blood, so you'd better go back quickly! ”

Ye Xuemei said, "What did you say?" I've seen more blood than yours, and you're nothing! You're hurt, so don't talk yet! ”

However, at this time, a little guy came in and said something in Mr. Cai's ear, and when Mr. Cai heard it, his face changed, and he quickly waved his hand to let the man leave.

Seeing this, Gongliang asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Manager Cai's face was embarrassed, but he still replied truthfully: "Lord Wang, just now the little guy came to report that this time it was not only the prince who was attacked, but also several other princes. Including the prince, a total of six people were attacked! ”

"What?" Gongliang was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly took out a pendant from his arms, on which was a jade piece in the shape of a maple leaf.

Gongliang Yuzhi handed over this pendant to Ye Xuemei and said: "A few years ago, I was at war with the Heshe Kingdom, and I found such a pendant on their soldiers, which is said to be the totem of the Heshe Kingdom. The woman I fought with today also had this charm around her neck. I think she must also be from the country of Hesher! ”

Ye Xuemei frowned slightly, and said, "If it is said that the attack on the prince is related to the war with Heshe that caused him to resent, it is reasonable. So what about the other princes? Also, how can an ordinary woman get close to the prince and stab the prince? ”

Gongliang replied: "At that time, when I came back from the military defense camp training, a woman blocked my way and asked me how to get to the Phoenix Tower. I was also negligent at the time, but I didn't expect it to be an assassin! ”

While the two were talking, the doctor had already returned in less than half an hour, because the time was urgent, and the injury could not wait, because the medicine was relatively coarse, and it was only ground into a crude powder.

But even though the medicine was ready, the doctor still didn't dare to stop pulling out the arrow for Gongliang, for fear that something would happen to him and he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Seeing this, Gongliang stretched out his right hand, grabbed the handle of the arrow, and said, "Isn't it just some flesh and skin?" This king is still willing! With that, the hand was pulled outward, and the arrow was pulled outward. However, with it, there is massive bleeding.

The doctor was stupid and at a loss when he saw this situation. Ye Xuemei hurriedly took the powder and sprinkled it all on the wound. Because of this situation, her snow-white sleeves were stained with blood.

The medicine worked quickly, and the heavy bleeding had stopped, but it was also too painful, causing him to faint temporarily.

Ye Xuemei said to Mr. Cai: "The prince is no big deal, you let the doctor stay and take care of the prince!" Also, I have to talk to Your Majesty about this matter! ”

If something so big happens, you have to talk to that person. Mr. Cai nodded again and again in agreement.

Rong Xiang also hurriedly helped Ye Xuemei back to the room to change clothes.

After returning to her room, Ye Xuemei looked at the pendant in her palm and said to Rong Xiang: "Go and find the prison knife!" ”

Rong Xiang found the prison knife according to Ye Xuemei's instructions, and after the prison knife came, she thought that Ye Xuemei was asking him about what happened last time, and said nonchalantly: "I haven't found out anything about the things you explained last time, so don't worry!" ”

Ye Xuemei shook her head and said, "I didn't come to you because of what happened last time, but because the prince was injured!" ”

"What? Is the prince injured? Only then did the prison knife see that Ye Xuemei's sleeves were stained with blood, but it was certain that this was not her bloodstains, otherwise she would not be able to sit here and talk to him, it must be the blood of the prince!

"That's right! That's why I want you to find out all the people and things related to this charm! ”

It was a matter of the name of Gongliang, and the prison knife naturally didn't dare to slack off anymore, and hurriedly took the hanging ornament and left.

After she left, Ye Xuemei thought back to the previous incident, and when Gongliang stopped hurting, her heart tightened. It seems that I care about him in particular.

But she really couldn't understand why she cared so much about him, was it because of ......

But such an idea was immediately rejected by her, with Murong Yu's example, how could she still be emotional? She and Gongliang can be friends, confidants, and allies, but they can't be lovers.

"It's too much, how dare you make such a big move under my nose!" Gongliang Rongruo slapped her hand on the table fiercely, and Yingyi, who was kneeling beside her, saw this, and her face was very unsightly.

"It's useless to be a slave, you can't even do this kind of thing well, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!"

Hearing Yingyi say this, Gongliang looked at Xiao Shunzi with a restrained look, and after Xiao Shunzi got his instructions, he withdrew from the hall and waited, and only Gongliang Rongruo and Yingyi were left in the main hall.

Gongliang Rongruo threw a white jade paperweight on Yingyi's body and scolded: "It's a shame that I have raised you for so many years, and you can't even come to the Song Kingdom with the details of the Heshe Kingdom, and turn the Song Kingdom upside down, you can't do it!" ”

Yingyi said in fear: "Your Majesty, it is really the people of the Heshe Kingdom who are too cunning, and the slave and maid miscalculated this time." But the people of the country of Nakhsher were also really strange, and once the slaves and maids sent people to follow them, and when they were around a corner, there was already a dead end in front of them, but they suddenly disappeared, which was very strange. And the slave and maid also deliberately left someone to guard there, and they didn't see anyone in or out for two days and two nights! ”

Hearing her words, Gongliang Rongruo was even more angry, and he said, "According to what you said, that person disappeared for no reason? How could there be such a ridiculous thing in the world! ”

While the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of a pigeon cooing, which was the arrival of a carrier pigeon from the Tianqin Pavilion. After getting permission from Gongliang Rongruo, Yingyi stood up and grabbed the pigeon, and then after reading the small note tied to the pigeon's feet, she respectfully handed it to Gongliang Rongruo.

After Gongliang Rongruo saw it, he frowned and said, "King Xin is not injured? ”

Yingyi nodded and said, "That's right." The slave maid sent someone to investigate, and this time several princes were injured, but none of them were seriously injured, only King Xin was not injured. The slave maid guessed that these people didn't want the lives of the princes! ”

"Oh? So what do they want? ”

Yingyi replied: "Maybe it's trying to engage in some conspiracy!" And the reason why King Shin was not injured was because when a small arrow was fired at him not far away, another arrow missed the small arrow. Judging from that person's martial arts, he is on par with slaves! ”

"So, the Night Camp is in the hands of King Shin?" Gongliang Rongruo thought for a while, and said, "It's very possible. King Shin was the eldest son of his father, and he was the first to be called in before his father's death. Yingyi, you send someone to keep an eye on the Xinwang Mansion closely, and remember not to startle the snake. If this thing doesn't work out again, you know what the consequences will be! ”

Yingyi was frightened in her heart, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

After Yingyi left, Xiao Shunzi was summoned in again, and Gongliang Rongruo said to him: "You go and call the imperial doctor now, and then get some good medicine to replenish blood, and go to the various injured princes' mansions." Also, although King Xin and King Mu were not injured, they still had to go and see them! ”

After Xiao Shunzi received the order, he retreated.

Since the assassination of the princes, the people in Kaifeng City have been panicking, and the government has been searching for the assassins from house to house. Kaifeng City is even more full of guards, and even the assassins can't escape!

Gongliang slowly opened his eyes, and Manager Cai, who was guarding the side, said happily after seeing him wake up: "Lord Wang, you finally woke up, you have been asleep for three days and three nights!" As he spoke, he hurriedly handed the medicine that had been warmed countless times to Gongliang Yuzhi and asked him to take it.

After watching him drink the medicine, Mr. Cai said: "Lord Wang, you were injured this time and lost a lot of blood, if Miss Ye hadn't stopped the bleeding at the moment when you just pulled out the arrow, I am afraid that Lord Wang would be more auspicious this time!" ”

After listening to Manager Cai's words, Gongliang Rongruo smiled noncommittally and said, "When we were in the Xia Kingdom before, we were hunted down countless times, and Miss Ye was used to seeing this kind of scene. ”

The two of them were talking, when they suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then, Ye Xuemei walked in. After seeing Gongliangyu wake up, she said, "You're awake! ”

"Yes! Just woke up! Gongliang stopped talking and was about to get up. Ye Xuemei hurriedly pressed him back and said, "You just woke up, your body is still very weak, don't get up, let's lie down!" With that, he withdrew his hand.

After her hand was withdrawn, Gongliang Yan stopped feeling a little lost. Knowing that it was impossible, he still couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Ye Xuemei asked, "How's the situation?" ”

Gongliang replied: "Chief Manager Cai has already told His Majesty about these things, and His Majesty already knows about it. In addition, the manpower has also been strengthened to search for assassins in Kaifeng City, and I believe that there will be results in the near future. ”

At this time, Ye Xuemei looked at Manager Cai with her eyes, and gestured to Gongliangyu. Gongliang stopped talking, and said to Mr. Cai: "This king is hungry, so Mr. Cai should go and order the kitchen to make some food for this king!" ”

After Manager Cai left, Ye Xuemei said to Gongliang: "I asked them to check the prison knife, and the injured prince was not seriously injured this time. And these Assassins of Hesher are acting very strangely, they don't seem to want your lives, otherwise they could have quenched the poison of the arrows. There must be another reason for this. In addition, during this time, you'd better transfer the people from the Night Camp to protect you closely, otherwise it's hard to say when those people will assassinate you again! ”

Hearing Ye Xuemei's tone, there was a lot of concern for him, and there was a lot of warmth in his heart, and even the injury on his shoulder felt less painful. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, I'll find a way to arrange it!" ”

At this time, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and then I saw a person walking in in a hurry, and said as he walked: "Fifth brother, how are you?" I heard that you are not lightly injured, I brought the best doctor in the house and the ginseng of the last vintage, it doesn't matter if you want to, eat some to replenish your body! ”

It was the seventh son of Emperor Ming who spoke, Gongliang Yanqing. After seeing him come in, there was obviously a soft line on Gongliangyuzhi's face.

When this Gongliang Yanqing was at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Ye Xuemei had seen it. He had been crowned prince a few years earlier, and his title was higher than that of several of his brothers. It is no wonder that his mother was the first empress, and the relationship between Emperor Ming and the former empress was very good in the early years, so he naturally loved this son very much. There were also rumors that if he wasn't too young, I'm afraid the throne would be his.

After the two brothers exchanged pleasantries for a while, Gongliang Yuzhi asked him how he was injured, Gongliang Yanqing recalled what happened that day, and said: "Fifth brother, you also know that I like to collect all kinds of antique weapons, that day when I was on the street, I entered a shop and found a peerless sword, the sword body is transparent, and after pulling it out, the sound is like a dragon's groan." I fell in love with it at once, but the shopkeeper didn't sell it to me, unless it was sent to him by a girl from the Phoenix Building, he couldn't be the master. I asked him who he was, and he wouldn't say. In desperation, I had no choice but to walk out of the shop. When I was feeling depressed, I suddenly felt something shoot at me behind me. Fortunately, I was more clever, and the arrow just passed by me, and it didn't hurt too badly. ”

Hearing Gongliang Yanqing talk about the Phoenix Tower, Gongliang was also a little surprised, and he said: "Before I was injured, there was also a woman who asked me about the Phoenix Tower. Could it be that this matter has something to do with the Phoenix Tower? ”

After hearing this, Gongliang Yanqing shook his head and said, "It's impossible, it's a brothel in Qinglou, how can it have anything to do with assassins?" ”

The two of them talked and analyzed for a while, and Gongliang Yanqing said again: "Could it be that the assassin wants us to shift our attention to the Phoenix Tower?" ”

"And what is their purpose?"

Gongliang Yanqing couldn't guess for a long time, so he simply said to Gongliang: "That's it, I'll go to the eldest brother to confirm if it is related to the Phoenix Tower, if it has anything to do with it, I have to raze it there!" With that, the man had already left the chair and walked out like a fly.

After he left, Ye Xuemei covered her mouth with her sleeve and smiled, and said, "I really didn't expect the Seventh Prince's temperament to be so anxious!" ”

Gongliang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! In the past, the seventh brother's temperament was not so anxious, but the older he gets, the more anxious his temperament becomes! It's just that I don't know what this assassin has to do with the Phoenix Tower, and he actually took such a big risk to draw attention to the Phoenix Tower. ”

Ye Xuemei shook her head and said, "I don't know much about this matter, I just hope that the prisoners can investigate this matter clearly!" ”

The two of them were talking, and suddenly they heard a coquettish voice sound, "Brother Yuzhi, I'm coming to see you!" ”

The direction of the voice was the Evergreen County Lord, and at this moment, she was wearing a carmine embroidered skirt and walked towards Gongliangyu. Gongliangyu stopped after seeing her, and he had a headache, thinking that he had made it clear to her last time, but he didn't know that she still didn't give up, and she came again.

The moment the Evergreen County Lord saw Ye Xuemei, his face changed and became iron-blue. The maid beside her sneered at Ye Xuemei and said, "Who should be here with the prince, it turned out to be an abandoned woman!" ”

Rong Xiang, who was on the side, heard the maid insulting her own young lady, and she was not angry, she said, "Do you think your master can be much better?" Isn't it also a princess who is defeated by the outside of the golden waddles? ”

"What? You dare to say the county lord! See if I don't kill you! As he spoke, the slap was about to come down.

Seeing that Rong Xiang was about to suffer, Ye Xuemei was about to pull her aside, but Gongliang Yuzhi spoke at this time, and he said: "The county lord is really good, and even the girls around him are also domineering. The people in this king's palace, when will it be the turn of the county lord's subordinates to discipline this king? ”

Seeing that Gongliang was angry, Changrong glanced at the maidservant beside him fiercely and said, "When did I allow you to shout here?" Palm! I won't need you to serve me in the future! ”

The maid was very aggrieved, but she didn't dare to disobey Changrong's order, so she slapped herself.

After Ye Xuemei saw this scene, she said to Gongliang: "Lord, I'll go back first, don't disturb the prince and the county lord!" After finishing speaking, he left with Rong Xiang.

Changrong couldn't wait for Ye Xuemei to leave, and after she left, she said to Gongliang Yuzhi: "Brother Yuzhi, I know that you are injured, and I specially took a lot of expensive medicinal materials from my house for you to recuperate." Also, I knew that you would definitely be bored, and I always liked carving, so I brought agarwood again. ”

"The county lord doesn't need to break the bank so much! Take all of these things away, I don't need them! ”

Changrong's kindness was rejected by Gongliang, her heart was very annoyed, she cried at him: "Why do you just refuse to accept my kindness? Do you still have that woman in your heart? ”

Gongliang Yuzhi ignored her, and after she cried a lot, she ordered someone to carry the agarwood back, saying that it would be placed in the cabinet of Gongliang Yuzhi.

Gongliang looked at the cabinet with a somewhat uncomfortable expression, and tried to stop him several times, but Changrong just didn't listen. After opening the cabinet, he didn't expect a statue to fall out of it. The statue was none other than Ye Xuemei. As soon as she saw it, she immediately roared at Gongliangyu: "It's her again, it's that woman again!" I knew you couldn't forget her! What's so good about her? Don't forget, she is the woman of the two generations of emperors of the Xia Kingdom, in the final analysis, she is a broken shoe, but you, you have to miss her! Where am I not as good as her? ”

Gongliang Yuzhi didn't have a good impression of Changrong, but after hearing her insult Ye Xuemei, he was even more angry, and he said to Manager Cai: "Cai He, invite the county lord out of the palace!" In the future, no one can let her into the house without my order, otherwise, she will break her legs and never renew her use! ”

Changrong didn't expect Gongliang Yuzhi to give her an expulsion order for such a woman, she was so angry and scolded Gongliang Yuzhi: "Gongliang Yuzhi stops you stupid!" After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

But she didn't leave the house immediately after she ran out, she knew that Ye Xuemei lived in the East Courtyard, she felt that everything was because of this woman, if it wasn't for this woman, how could Gongliang Yuzhi treat her like this. Besides, the east courtyard is reserved for the lady of the main house, why should she live.

She walked to Ye Xuemei's residence, pushed her door open, and said, "Ye Xuemei, if you can leave the palace and stop pestering Brother Yuzhi, I will give you a large sum of silver to ensure that you have no worries for the rest of your life!" ”

Ye Xuemei smiled indifferently after listening to her words, and said, "Isn't the county lord stimulated, let's go back quickly!" Don't be joking here! ”

The previous words had already been said to Ye Xuemei by Changrong patiently, and at this moment, seeing that she shouldn't, she couldn't control herself anymore, she scolded: "Slut! As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to slap Ye Xuemei.

However, at this moment, a pair of hands grabbed her hand and failed to make her slap it down. When she looked back angrily, she realized that it was a prison knife.

She was furious and said, "What is your identity, and you dare to stop me?" ”

The prisoner frowned and said: "This is the palace, I hope that the county lord will be self-respecting, don't annoy the prince and embarrass the county lord!" ”

Cai He, who was in the back, hurriedly walked up, and after seeing this scene, he hurriedly said to Changrong with a smile: "County Lord, if you have something to say, don't hurt the harmony!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Cai He lowered his voice and said to Changrong: "County Lord, what the prince said in the south is all angry words, maybe in a few days, the prince's anger will disappear, and the county lord and the prince will still be able to do as usual." But if this matter annoys the prince, the consequences will be difficult to clean up! ”
