Chapter 498: Climbing
Bei Jingchu was carried into the Prince Qin's Palace. She sat in a sedan chair and would not get off until she saw the emperor.
The King of Qin was assassinated and seriously injured, and was in danger. He has not woken up yet.
The imperial physician was not sure whether he could survive.
After entering, Bei Jingchu became worried when she saw the situation.
I thought it was a self-torture tactic, but now it doesn't seem like it.
On the bed, the wound on Bei Jingyu's chest was so deep that the bone was visible, and the basin next to him was already bright red.
On the tray in the servant's hand were some arrows that had just been taken off. There were more than one of them, and they were almost like hedgehogs.
The same thing happened when Long Shou was changing the dressing a few days ago. Fortunately, the only serious wound was on his chest.
Recently, I was able to get out of bed and was clamoring to go back to my job to make a difference and not be a useless gigolo. She scolded me severely for this.
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so how can you heal it in just a few days?
Long Shou is in good health, but he still suffers from this. Yu'er has been weak since childhood, so he must feel even worse.
Bei Jingchu felt a little guilty and glanced at the visible wounds on his body.
Isn't this just a show?
Who was going to kill her brother?
The emperor, the imperial concubine, and Concubine Zhang were all in the room.
The serious incident of the prince being seriously injured brought out all the elders who were in charge.
Zhang Jieyu stood by, wiping her tears, crying uncontrollably.
"His Majesty!"
She said bitterly, "Our Yu'er has always been a well-behaved and obedient child. Even when he was doing the spring ploughing for you this time, he was just following your orders. He always did whatever you said, without any disobedience."
"Is it because he is too obedient that he has to suffer such a disaster?"
As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Bei Jingchu.
"The murderer is right before our eyes. Your Majesty, are you going to let her go like this?"
"The prince is your child, but does that mean Yu'er is not your child? My poor Yu'er!"
Bei Jingchu was not fooled by her at all, and immediately defended herself, "Your Majesty will not be fooled by such an obvious trap."
"Someone with ulterior motives deliberately stirred up internal strife and quarrels among the royal family. I understand that Concubine Zhang is upset for her mother, but Your Majesty cannot fall for the villain's trick and let the real culprit go unpunished."
But Zhang Jieyu refused to let her go, insisting, "Your Highness is really good at making arguments. Now the evidence is clearly in front of us, and the assassin has confessed that it was you who ordered it."
"There are witnesses and evidence. If what you said is true, then this is not a case to be investigated. All the evidence is a frame-up?"
The women in the palace are all shrewd and have great speaking skills. Bei Jingchu has experienced this.
But she didn't say anything at this time, because she was not the only cunning person here.
Sure enough, the imperial concubine stopped her from speaking.
"Zhang Jieyu, I know that you lost your mind because you were too sad about the unknown safety of the King of Qin."
"But the prince is right, and your majesty has not ruled that the prince was responsible. If you keep accusing him, the murderer behind the scenes will be able to fish in troubled waters."
Zhang Jieyu said angrily: "Who is the murderer behind this?"
"Besides her, who else has a grudge against my Yu'er!"
Bei Jingchu knew that she would be involved in a scandal, but Zhang Jieyu's crazy behavior still made her irritated.
At this moment, she felt even more distressed for Yuer who was lying on the bed.
Even she, as her elder sister, felt sorry for her when she came in, but she didn't have time to greet her.
As a result, Zhang Jieyu, her biological mother, acted as if she had caught a great opportunity and kept trying to get close to her.
Since she came in, she didn't even look at her unconscious son on the bed.
