Crown Jewels

Chapter 220

"grown ups--"

"It's not too late to deal with Li Che's matter later. It's a pity that he assassinated the Empress and just took his life!"

"Si Nian thinks, first take him to Beizhen Fusi, and wait for the torture equipment to see if he can ask anything?"

Fearing that Lu Yi would be really impulsive, Fu Sinian glanced at Gu Jun in his arms calmly, the implication was already obvious enough, it would not be too late to arrange things on Gu Jun's side first, and then deal with Li Che later.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Che's sneak attack on Gu Jun today must have something to do with the former Shu emperor who escaped on the palace wall. Now that Li Jiang has escaped, it is not known whether the imperial guards can track him down. Li Che just stayed behind. The only clue to him, it would be better if he could pry open his mouth and ask for something.

Following Lu Yi in Jinyiwei these days, Fu Sinian has seen a lot of tricks.

Inside the empty bedroom, the lights were brightly lit.

Carrying the medicine box, Qian Yan rushed over with a panicked look on his face. When he saw Gu Baozhu waiting in the hall, he nodded briefly at her to express her peace of mind. He hurried to the sickbed where Gu Jun was lying. chest, so Gu Baozhu asked Qian Yan to come here first, and after the knife and dagger was pulled out of the body to stop the overflowing blood, he would consult with other imperial physicians.

Seeing Qian Yan coming, Gu Baozhu hurriedly asked Lu Yi and others to go out. She originally wanted to stay and help Qian Yan to fight, but Qian Yan saw that Gu Baozhu's lingering fear had not faded, so he simply waved her to go out too. Gu Baozhu gritted his teeth, He grabbed Qian Yan's official robe and begged.

"Master, let me stay, I promise not to delay your means—"

Glancing at Gu Jun who was pale on the sick bed, he understood that Gu Baozhu knew how to measure, so Qian Yan didn't insist.

The palace maid lit the remaining lamps in the bedroom, and the area around the sick bed was brightly illuminated. After washing her hands with hot water, Gu Baozhu quickly took out a pair of delicate scissors from the medicine box according to Qian Yan's timing.

Qian Yan gestured twice at the fabric around the dagger, and Gu Baozhu understood that he had some scruples. "Let me do it--"

As he said that, he took it directly and saw that according to Qian Yan's instructions, he cut open the blood-oozing clothes around the wound, and finally there was a small square opening on the clothes on the left shoulder close to the skin on the chest, which happened to reveal the knife and dagger, and kept Gu Jun Coma decent.

Seeing this scene, Qian Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Lu Yi's man-eating gaze outside, his scalp is still numb, looking at the bloody wound pierced into the flesh, Qian Yan sighed lightly, thinking of the young man in white who was often seen in the palace Li Che secretly thought that this man was ambitious,

The lamps and candles on the round table flickered, accompanied by Gu Jun's weaker breathing, which seemed to be urging, Qian Yan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly used the wound medicine to stop the bleeding, and then found the acupuncture points around the wound to stop the bleeding, twisting the silver with his fingertips Needle pierced.

When all ten silver needles were in place, Qian Yan hinted to Gu Baozhu to stabilize Gu Jun's body, then firmly held the knife and dagger outside his chest with his right hand, checked around the wound around Fan, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, rehearsing in his mind. After reviewing the angle and technique of pulling out the knife and dagger, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with firmness, and he firmly pulled out the knife and dagger with decisive force with his wrist, without implicating other wounds.

When the dagger was completely pulled out, fine sweat was already oozing from Qian Yan's forehead. Gu Baozhu hurriedly followed him and wrapped up the prepared bandage. Qian Yanshou's technique was excellent, and although the wound was close to the heart, it was half an inch away. The blood was only slowly oozing out, the danger tonight should be safe and sound.

The blood spread on the bandage, Gu Baozhu opened it, took out the porcelain bottle to stop the bleeding, applied the wound medicine powder on the wound, and then put on a clean bandage and re-wrapped it completely. After burning for more than half, Gu Baozhu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and finally had the time to raise his head to catch his breath.

"Master—"

Qian Yan nodded towards her, with a gratified approval in his eyes, and his eyes fell on the empress Gu Jun who was on the bed, giving her a reassurance.

"rest assured--"

"The wound has stopped bleeding, but the dagger did not penetrate the heart. It was treated very well just now. Other doctors who are good at internal medicine will come up with a prescription for internal medicine, and replace the bandages on time. It shouldn't be a big problem to recuperate and drink medicine."

Even though she had already made a prediction in her heart, but hearing Qian Yan's promise with her own ears at this moment, Gu Baozhu instantly felt a lot more at ease.

The palace door was opened from the inside, and the cool breeze in the middle of the night came from the pavement. Gu Baozhu felt the coolness of the late autumn night. Before he could stand still, Lu Yi's anxious question came from his ear.

Meeting Lu Yi's worried gaze, Gu Baozhu nodded towards him. In his eyes, Lu Yi's face was tense and cold, the tense muscles on his face relaxed in an arc visible to the naked eye, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. But after a while, Weimi seemed to think of something again, and Wei Mi's eyes shot out cruelty.

Just at this moment, the sound of armor colliding sounded, and Gu Baozhu raised his head, and saw the leader of the imperial guard coming forward, followed by two guards carrying wooden boxes, kneeling on one knee to salute Lu Yi and Gu Baozhu.

"Princess, on the high wall outside the Taiji Palace, I led other imperial guards to capture the former Shu traitor, but I never thought it was half a step too late. When I waited to investigate, there were only them fleeing outside the palace wall." , chains for climbing—”

After saying this, the guard behind him opened the wooden box. In everyone's eyes, there was a well-prepared iron chain as thick as a finger. After seeing it, he sat down completely prepared. Gu Baozhu looked away from the iron chain, and said coldly. .

"My aunt has ordered people to seal the gates of the imperial city. Even if the abandoned emperor is rescued, he must be found in Lin'an City. He must not be allowed to escape from the gate—"

After the words fell, the sound of uniform weapons and armor rang out, and the guards of the imperial forest all listened to the order.

The leader of the Yulin Guard stood up again, glanced at the last wooden box behind him, and looked at Gu Baozhu with hesitation, but still told the truth.

"Reporting to the princess, I sent someone to find Wu Zuo to check on the dead man, and Wu Zuo found some clues—"

These words seemed to imply something, Gu Baozhu's long eyelashes trembled, and her eyes fell steadily on the black wooden box in the hands of the guards. At night, the wind blew the lamps and shadows outside the hall to shake, only the bright and cold moonlight on the sky was stable in frequency. The wooden box was opened, and in the dark space, the blood-stained skin as thin as a cicada's wings was exposed to everyone. Even though they had prepared for it, many imperial guards who saw this human skin couldn't help but gasp in unison. Take a breath.

Gu Baozhu walked down the steps slowly, and with this faint light, he took the black box from the guard's hand and held it firmly in his arms. The unspeakable silence, as if there were tears in my heart, but I couldn't cry out because of the sadness, I just walked mechanically, stepping on the cold and heavy stone steps...

In the imperial city three days later, apart from the Nabo courtiers and relatives who witnessed the assassination of the empress, they were still detained in the palace.

On the day of Longsheng's birthday, the empress was assassinated, but all the news had been sealed in the palace. Those officials who had never witnessed the incident returned to their respective government offices. After the three-day holiday, they would continue to work in the government office. Lin'an City The shops in the city are still bustling with activity, and only those with sharp eyes can feel the tension in the city after seeing the densely patrolling officials on the streets of Lin'an.

The shopkeepers who walked the streets and alleys shuttled along the alleys, looking up at the luxurious mansions built in front of them.
