Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Staying to Review
Everyone present held their breath.
The magnitude of figures like the Cui Family and Jiang Family cannot be compared to the Marquis of Northwest.
They can freely detain these two families, but with the Marquis of Northwest, it’s likely to be extremely troublesome.
"I will personally write a letter, encrypt it and send it urgently to the Northwest Army, to be delivered to the Marquis of Northwest."
"Yes!"
The matter concerning the Xu Family of Dengzhou is still unresolved, and now it involves so many people.
Even the Fourth Prince feels that the heavens of Da Wei may be about to change.
In the side hall, everyone is still waiting for news from Lin Xingzhi.
The wound has been stitched, and the bleeding stopped, but another problem has arisen—the person cannot regain consciousness.
The injury is severe, yet the Imperial Physicians have managed it promptly.
Logically, no matter what, he should regain consciousness momentarily.
However, now he seems to have fallen into a deep slumber, no matter how others call him, he doesn’t wake up.
At this point, Doctor Fang and Doctor Dou are at a loss.
"Everything else can be said; as long as Lin Guard wakes up, we will have a way to save his life, but if he remains in a coma like this, he will likely perish in seven days."
Their words seemed like one after another death sentences, adding another layer of grief to Lin Wanyi’s frightened sorrow.
Thus, unable to bear it, her body went soft.
She was leaning on the Emperor originally, but ended up falling backward with her eyes closed, nearly hitting her head.
Fortunately, the Emperor was quick-sighted and quickly caught her.
At this moment, his heart truly panicked.
Anxiously, he shouted at Doctor Dou.
"What’s wrong with the Noble Consort?"
Doctor Dou didn’t even need to take the pulse, knowing that Lin Wanyi fainted due to the attack of her blood and qi.
Thus, he said to the Emperor.
"If it’s possible, please send the Lady back to the palace first; enduring like this, even an iron body won’t withstand it."
After hearing Doctor Dou’s words, the Emperor immediately picked up Lin Wanyi horizontally.
He rushed outside hurriedly.
Everyone thought he was going to send Lin Wanyi back to Yihua Palace, but unexpectedly he directly took her to Wen’s former residence.
This is the place where the Emperor privately stays.
Lin Wanyi has been here twice, but it’s Xia An and Chunqi’s first time.
Dong Yuzhong frowned, looking at the Emperor’s arrangement, understanding it roughly.
Then he turned around to instruct those outside.
"Keep the news wrapped up, let’s get through these few days first."
"Yes, Mr. Dong."
The palace attendants serving at the imperial court are carefully selected by him.
Originally, they felt there was no problem at all.
But due to the incident with Cui Shixiu, he doesn’t have absolute confidence now.
Thus many things, if they can be done without involving others, he prefers to do them personally.
For example, he hurriedly transferred Qiu Ming here.
To serve the Emperor together with him, while Chunqi and Xia An care for Lin Wanyi.
As for the Second Prince and Second Princess, naturally, they move into the already prepared Yihua Palace.
Nanny Du has now stepped forward, taking over the authority of the entire Yihua Palace.
With precise methods and a serious attitude.
Plus, those serving inside were formerly at Ruiyang Pavilion.
Therefore, no mistakes have occurred.
Looking at Lin Wanyi’s face after fainting on the bed, and the red rims of her eyes from rubbing.
The Emperor’s heart also feels quite pained.
But as the Emperor, there are still matters he needs to address that cannot be delayed at this moment.
Thus he called over Qiu Ming.
"Guard this place well for me; if anything happens to the Noble Consort, I will hold you accountable!"
"Yes, I obey His Majesty’s command."
It was only then that he strides away, heading for the main hall.
The Fourth Prince is waiting there.
After the Emperor left, Xia An and Chunqi approached.
Chunqi sobbed with his nose twitching, eager to shred the assassin into pieces.
"Xia An, do you think Young Master will..."
With such a heavy injury, Chunqi just looking at the basins of bloody cloth being carried out feels pain, let alone Lin Xingzhi, the one losing blood.
"No, he won’t, he won’t; the Imperial Physicians have excellent skills, they definitely won’t let anything happen to Young Master."
At this moment, when Xia An said this, his heart wasn’t truly calm.
He’s merely trying to comfort Chunqi to comfort himself.
In Wen’s former residence, everyone is worried.
In the study of the main hall, the faces of the Emperor and Fourth Prince are extremely grim.
The Fourth Prince narrated all the events and the arrangements to the Emperor.
The more he listened, the more furious he became.
The Cui Family, once decreed by him as a loyal and righteous family, how did such descendants come to be?
The assassination against him, did they ever think that the former glory of the Cui Family would be thrown away?
The Emperor doesn’t understand what unforgivable thing he has done to make him hate him so much.
"Uncle, the situation on Lin Guard’s side is not optimistic, and the Imperial Guard in the palace, it’s uncertain if there are accomplices; I think it’s better to first transfer fifty thousand Imperial Armor Army back to Shengjing City as a precaution."
"Yes, all obey the Emperor’s arrangement."
With a mishap in the Imperial Guard, it’s uncertain if there might be issues in the Capital City.
Thus, transferring the Emperor’s most trusted Imperial Armor Army back to the city before addressing other matters.
For some reason, the Emperor feels that the Marquis of Northwest is involved behind this.
Could it be, first there was Prince Zhan, and now the Marquis of Northwest?
Instantly, his brow furrowed heavily.
A night passed until dawn, now it’s the twenty-fourth of the twelfth month.
Lin Xingzhi still hasn’t woken up, but everything in the palace won’t halt because of a severely injured, comatose guard.
There’s only a few days left until the New Year’s Eve banquet.
The festive atmosphere in the palace is steadily growing stronger.
Outside, brightly lit decorations abound, but Yihua Palace remains quiet and serene.
The Second Prince rose early, originally planning to visit Qian’an Hall to see Lin Wanyi.
After all, she didn’t return overnight, and he wasn’t sure how things were now?
Since he has acknowledged Lin Wanyi as his mother, naturally Lin Xingzhi counts as his nominal uncle.
Although they haven’t had substantial interactions, he believes this uncle must also be a good person.
That’s why he would go to such lengths to save Father Emperor.
Unfortunately, he was stopped by Nanny Du.
"No news being relayed now is not necessarily a good thing. If the Second Prince frequently goes running into Qian’an Hall, it’s feared outsiders will view the Noble Consort as more of a thorn in their side."
Lin Wanyi’s promotion, although justified, still displeased many people.
If the Second Prince further approaches the Emperor, outsiders might speculate even more fervently.
The Second Prince, hearing this, couldn’t say much.
He merely asked Nanny Du to keep an eye on the news at Qian’an Hall.
At Qian’an Hall, in Wen’s former residence.
Lin Wanyi, waking up from a nightmare, also woke the Emperor beside her.
When she opened her eyes and saw everything unfamiliar, her head ached intensely.
