C136

Xie Jingxi once again tasted the feeling of being struck by lightning. Compared to the time when Gu Yun was heavily injured and his life was uncertain, this time, the scene of him falling into the water seemed to be even more distant and intangible.

According to the attendant, when the boat sank, they found a large amount of floating corpses. There were assassins and some of their own people, but if they couldn't find it, that didn't mean they had to flee, or floated somewhere else. In short, there was a possibility of everything happening on the water, and the more they couldn't find it, the slimmer their chances of survival became.

Because the official ship sent by the His Majesty had gone missing, when the news spread to the Imperial Court, the His Majesty was enraged, and immediately sent people to Tianjin Port, the assassins that were initially hiding in the vicinity of Tianjin Port had already escaped, and even if Gu Yun and the others were dead, there was no trace of them, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

The corpses that they scooped out were arranged in a row on the shore. The identity of the killer was unable to be confirmed, and according to the corpses, Gu Yun and the rest must have gone through a tough battle. There were no bodies belonging to the servants and officials sent by His Majesty inside, which meant that they were either well-protected or captured.

Based on the current situation, the possibility of the latter being alive was very high. If they were protected well, they would not have heard about it now, the difference between kidnapping and murdering the officials of the imperial government and conspiring to commit murder. His Majesty ordered a close investigation, if they wanted to see the corpses of the dead, they had to confirm the tracks of Gu Yun and the others.

While waiting, Gu Wan was the most worried. Gu Wan almost cried out anxiously, "Wuu, wuu, where did Big Brother go with Sheng Luan and the others? Why is there no news at all?

"Now is not the time to talk about it. I have already told Bai Cao to go around and wait for news, and the King Jin has secretly sent people to look for them, as long as they reach the range of our power, they will definitely be discovered, and I believe that the two of them will not die so easily. The worst case scenario is that they will be captured by people we do not know, and there will be hope as long as they are still alive."

Xie Jingxi sent people to all the shops to gather information, if there was any news, she would have immediately received it. Two days passed just like that, and Xie Jingxi unexpectedly received news from the Spirit Embroidery Workshop.

It was a letter from Shen Huanzhi, it said that Gu Yun and the rest were currently on his boat, and would arrive in the capital in a short time. It was just that Gu Yun and the rest were all injured, and needed to immediately arrange for a treatment after returning to the capital.

"Is there any news from Big Bro!?"

Gu Wan and Ming Yu looked at Xie Jingxi with hope in their eyes, causing him to nod her head, "They were saved by Shen Huanzhi, but they may all be severely injured."

If it were only minor injuries that were not serious or those that he could deal with, Shen Huanzhi would not tell her. If Gu Yun was still conscious, he would definitely notify her immediately. This would only prove that the few of them were on the verge of death.

Xie Jingxi thought for a moment, then decided to bring the person back to the Marquis Mansion. "Ming Yu, pack up two rooms, prepare clean clothes and the required medicinal ingredients, in case Imperial Physician Pei comes and directly save the person."

"Madam, are they all seriously injured?" Fang Dai's face was filled with worry and shock, "How could she be injured at the same time?

Xie Jingxi did not comment, the expression on her face explained everything, and she hoped that Shen Huanzhi could bring them back safely.

Since this matter had alarmed the His Majesty, he could only stay in the Marquis Mansion and let the Imperial Physician Pei step in. As for the other matters, they could only be discussed at a later time. But even if Xie Jingxi was prepared, she was still shocked when she saw Gu Yun and the others. When the three of them were carried back, only Sheng Luan was clear-headed.

General Sheng Luan was already used to it, and looked a little more resistant than the two of them, but it seemed that his leg was injured, so he could only allow others to carry him in. Gu Yun had the heaviest injuries, and his entire face was pale white and unconscious, although it was already bandaged, it was still possible to see that his whole body was covered with blood that seeped out, especially the deepest wound on his abdomen.

Seeing his big brother like that, Gu Wan immediately cried and went forward to slap the half-dead Sheng Luan, "How did you protect my big brother! Why are you still fine, why is my big brother like this, sob sob, Sheng Luan you bastard … "

Gu Wan was also in a desperate situation, no matter how she looked at it, General Sheng Luan did not seem to be alright, but when Sheng Luan saw that she was still thinking about reining in a life and death situation, she did not feel good for a moment, and felt guilty in her heart. So she allowed her to beat him up without saying a word, he could not help but failed to protect Gu Yun, and even allowed Gu Yun to stab him in the face.

"Sister-in-law, it's all my fault. In order to save me, Xuanchen suffered this cut, I did not protect him well, you, you better beat me up."

Actually, at that time, the situation could not be said to have been protected by anyone. When Shen Huanzhi had met them, both Sheng Luan and Gu Yun were heavily injured. Shen Huanzhi's men rowed the boat over to save his. Just as they were about to board the boat, an assassin suddenly jumped out from the pile of corpses, and at that time, the assassin was the closest to Sheng Luan. However, Sheng Luan had injured his leg, and had no time to react, because Gu Yun had rushed over to push him away, and took the blade himself.

If Sheng Luan was not half dead, he would have kicked him out already. Xie Jingxi dragged the angry Gu Wan and said, "Don't make any more noise, it's more important to save them, hurry and carry them all into the house!"

Shen Huanzhi came over and told Xie Jingxi about Gu Yun's situation, "I'm really sorry, if I had met them earlier, it wouldn't have been so serious. Lord Gu's injuries are extremely severe, the herbs I brought on the ship are insufficient, I can only take a simple cleaning and bandaging.

Xie Jingxi endured the pain in her heart and tried to calm down, "If not for you, they would have all been dead. Thank you for bringing him back."

Because the situation was urgent, Shen Huanzhi did not talk to her anymore and quickly took his leave. Imperial Physician Pei had long been waiting for them at the Marquis Mansion, and the moment Gu Yun and the others returned, they immediately checked on their injuries.

This time, he received the His Majesty's orders, so Pei Zixi was specially here to be ordered to treat his injuries. He first checked on Gu Yun, who had the heaviest injuries, with a rare serious expression.

Imperial Physician Pei had never been in a panic, but now he seemed to be a little unsure of how to proceed. He was most likely facing Gu Yun, who looked especially nervous, and as he cleaned the wounds on Gu Yun's abdomen he said: "Grand Mistress, Lord Gu must have a medicine to protect his life. I'll have to feed him a medicine first, I'm afraid that he won't be able to take it anymore."

The last time Gu Yun was injured, she had to keep an eye on his injuries in order to feel at ease. But this time, she didn't dare to look at him at all, and with a glance, he almost fainted, and the opened wound was badly mutilated, his internal organs were faintly discernible, and his breathing was exceptionally weak as well. Xie Jingxi didn't dare to think of anything, and could only listen to Pei Zixi's instructions.

Once again, Gu Yun's wounds bled profusely, and the bed had already been dyed red. Pei Zixi took a very long time to treat so many wounds by himself, and the entire room was filled with the thick smell of blood.

The Imperial Physician Pei's face was overflowing with cold sweat. It was mentally and physically necessary to sew up the flesh on his body piece by piece; however, even this kind of skin piercing pain was unable to wake Gu Yun up. It could be predicted that the pain he had suffered in the past few days had multiplied by a hundred times.

Xie Jingxi did not dare look anymore, and panted as she walked out of the house. Suddenly, his vision went black, and she almost fell to the ground. Ming Yu quickly supported her, "Miss, are you alright, wuwu, Young Master will be fine, young lady, you cannot fall down, Young Master still needs to point at you!"

Xie Jingxi closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "I'm fine, Imperial Physician Pei is inside, I'll go take a look at Zhao Zhang and Sheng Luan first."

Zhao Zhang had to find something to do in order to be at ease. Since no one was looking after his, she could go and clean up the mess, but Zhao Zhang's condition was slightly better than Gu Yun's, it was just that he did not have such frightening penetrating wounds, so every single one of the wounds on his body were very serious. The deepest point was on his shoulder, and it had already injured his flesh.

Xie Jingxi also fed him a life saving pill, and helped Fang Dai and the others clean up the other wounds on his body. Fang Dai endured her tears, "Which group of bastards managed to injure them to such an extent?

Xie Jingxi did not say anything, but suddenly, she thought of something, "Could it be the Fourth Young Master?!"

Xie Jingxi shook her head, "It can't be him, if Gu Qing were to live, he would definitely do it herself. My guess is, it's most likely a remnant of the Former Crown Prince, or perhaps it might even be some other unknown force."

"An unknown force? "What kind of power has such an incredible ability?"

"I can't figure it out either. After all, during this period of time when they were heavily injured, every shop must pay attention to this matter and someone must take advantage of it to enter."

At this moment, Zhao Zhang suddenly woke up and struggled to grab onto Xie Jingxi's arm. "Madam, if Eldest Young Master has a relapse, you'd better not look for Old Master Zhuang!"

Xie Jingxi was shocked. How could she have forgotten that Gu Yun still had an old illness?
