Wishful Things

Chapter 183 Between Life and Death

The breathing sound in the inner room was even, and there was a faint warm fragrance in the air.

The young man glanced at the censer and the maid who was laying the floor on the side.

If there was no huge movement of the burning grass in the incense burner, it would be enough for the maid to sleep soundly all night.

After she woke up, if someone asked her if she had heard any noises at night, and to cover up the fact that she was too sleepy to take care of the eldest princess, she would definitely claim that everything was as usual at night, and nothing happened——

One night is enough.

Under such circumstances, the only explanation for the death of the eldest princess was an emergency.

Everything will go according to plan...

The man walked to the side of the bed, raised his hand and slowly hung up the bed curtain.

In the dimness, it could be seen that Princess Jingrong was sleeping peacefully facing the inside.

"Princess..."

Even though he believed that the other party must be in a comatose state at this time, the young man called softly out of caution.

The person on the bed didn't respond.

Seeing this, the young man took out two long needles from his sleeve.

The long needle is sharp and flashes cold light.

Holding the needle in his hand, the man stabbed at the back of the eldest princess's head——

The long needle struck with a sense of coldness, and the strike was strong and fast, almost submerging into the hair in an instant, and piercing into the flesh of the person.

At this moment, the person on the bed suddenly groaned in pain.

The face of the young man who was about to get a second needle changed suddenly.

The eldest princess propped herself up with her hands, and sat up suddenly, her trembling voice was full of shock and anger: "Lan Zhu, it really is you...why did you harm me!"

The man's eyes changed.

Just now, he was thinking for a moment that the reason why the eldest princess woke up halfway must be because she had been prepared...or she had already noticed his identity-but now it seems that she doesn't know who is trying to kill her. who is it!

But these are not the most important things right now...

The man quickly stabilized his mind, picked up the soft pillow at the side, leaned over suddenly, and tightly covered Princess Jingrong's face.

The other hand holding the silver needle tried to stab it again.

Although many years of kung fu have been wasted in order to conceal his identity, he is a man after all, with such a huge disparity in strength, the eldest princess cannot easily struggle.

However, in the next moment, there was a sharp pain from the flesh being cut open on the arm, causing the silver needle between the man's fingers to drop immediately.

Princess Jingrong tightly held the dagger prepared in advance, taking advantage of the man's injury to take care of herself, she broke free from his restraint, flung herself down on the bed, swung the incense burner, tea cup and other things on the long table, and said loudly: "Come on, come on! Someone wants to kill Ben Gong!"

The huge noise finally woke up the maidservant.

"Your Highness...Your Highness!"

The maid didn't know what happened, and she couldn't adapt to the dim light when she first woke up, but she vaguely saw a figure rushing towards Princess Jingrong, she still sat up without hesitation, grabbed the drum stool beside her, Then he slammed the man's head hard.

With a trembling voice, he shouted: "Come on, come on! Come on, come on!"

Hearing that there were movements in the courtyard, the man's expression changed again and again, knowing that today's matter seemed to be a mess, he immediately jumped out of the window without thinking about it.

"Don't run!"

The lamps were already lit, and the two women had just come out of the building when they saw a man jumping over the corridor, and one of them, a tall and strong woman with a broom in her hand, immediately ran after him.

Eating their eldest princess's, living in their eldest princess's, and now they want to kill their eldest princess, so she must catch the eldest princess and soak the pig cage today for the eldest princess!

"Your Highness, are you alright, Your Highness?!"

In the bedroom, the eldest princess fell on the side of the couch, her pale face covered with cold sweat.

She raised her hand to touch the back of her head, and when even more intense pain and dizziness hit her, she confessed with difficulty: "I'm injured on the back of my head, please go...see the doctor..."

The maid answered "yes" repeatedly, and hurriedly turned her head to the other maids around and said, "Quickly ask the imperial physician Shan to come and see His Highness' wound!"

The two maids trotted away.

"Your Highness...Your Highness?"

The maidservant turned her head, and saw that the eldest princess had her eyes closed tightly, and she was obviously in a coma!

Several people panicked and helped him back to the bed.

"He has been caught!" The nurse in charge who just arrived asked in a low voice in the hall.

"Go back to Nanny, not yet..." The maidservant who was watching the night said anxiously: "But this person is injured, it is not so easy to escape from the mansion, and the guards in the mansion have already searched around."

"Can you see which one it is?"

"...It's Lanzhu!" Mentioning this person, the maidservant was furious: "Your Highness treats him so well on weekdays, I don't know why he is crazy."

The nurse in charge pursed her lips.

I'm afraid it's not crazy, but premeditated...

"Have you sent someone to tell the princess about this?"

The maid shook her head.

The incident happened suddenly, everyone panicked, the imperial doctor hadn't arrived yet, so there was no time to send a letter to the princess.

At this time, Imperial Physician Shan, who was awakened by the knock on the door, just put on his clothes and got up to open the door.

"Prince doctor! My Highness is injured, please hurry up and have a look at the doctor!"

"Injuried?"

Imperial Physician Shan couldn't hide his surprise and asked, "How did you get hurt?"

"I was injured by a face..." The servant girl didn't say much, but urged: "Your Highness is unconscious at the moment, please hurry up to the doctor!"

Physician Shan nodded, turned around to pack the medicine box, his eyes were full of bewilderment.

How could it surprise so many people...

But at the moment, he still didn't dare to delay and rushed to the courtyard of the eldest princess.

After some inspection, Imperial Physician Shan said: "Your Highness does not seem to have any external injuries, and the blood on your hand is not His Highness's..."

"These are indeed blue bamboo's blood!"

The maid hurriedly said: "Your Highness said before he fell unconscious that the injury was on the back of his head—"

"The back of the head?"

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Shan checked the back of the eldest princess's head again, but shook her head slightly and said, "There is no sign of injury on the back of your highness's head, presumably it was just bumped into it...and also because of the fright, that's why it happened." cause fainting."

After hearing the news, Princess Yufeng rushed over and immediately asked: "According to this, my mother should be able to wake up soon?"

The imperial doctor raised his hand to salute, and replied: "Back to the princess, logically speaking, it should be so."

Princess Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief, and walked quickly to the side of the couch.

And the next moment, the expression that had just relaxed a little immediately tensed up.

——The faces and lips of the people on the bed had no trace of blood, and the cold sweat on the forehead slid down their cheeks.

Princess Yufeng thought about it, and tried to shake Princess Jingrong's hand, the cold touch made her face change even more.

"The imperial doctor can see clearly? My mother looks like this, how could she just be frightened and unconscious!"

When I was young, I took her to the river to catch monkeys, and finally pulled out a big black snake from the mud hole. The mother who can still keep her expression on is definitely not such a timid and fragile person!
