While they were whispering, another voice joined in, "Say, who do you think that person is? You actually blocked a knife for Wangye, you are really not afraid of death! "
Someone said, "I heard that he's here to participate in the imperial examinations."
"Scholar? Aiya, wouldn't it be a pity if something happened to him? Sigh … "
What a pity!
"Shh, don't say anymore. If His Highness hears this, we'll have to bear the consequences."
The few of them did not dare to continue their discussion.
At this moment, Na Yan was sitting in the outer hall. He had one hand on the table and was clenching his fist tightly. His face was extremely dark.
His anger was mixed with worry.
From time to time, he would look into the inner room.
The maids and manservants went in and out, sweating profusely.
It could be seen that Song Zhi's injuries were very serious.
He asked the servant who came out, "How is it now?"
The servant said, "That young master has lost a lot of blood. The imperial physicians are currently trying to stop the bleeding. It looks like …" He wouldn't be able to hold on.
Before the words left his mouth.
"Shut up!" Na Yan berated.
Green veins popped out.
The manservant hurriedly lowered his head and carried the basin of bloody water out.
Na Yan got up and went in. He saw Song Zhi lying on the bed covered in blood, his face pale.
The imperial physicians were doing their best to save Song Zhiming. It took them a great deal of effort to staunch the bleeding in his chest and wrap it in bandages. However, Song Zhiming was on the verge of death and showed no signs of waking up. The three imperial physicians took turns inserting needles into his body, hoping to save his life.
It was a heart-wrenching sight.
After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, the imperial physician finally stopped.
They lifted their blood-stained sleeves to wipe their sweat.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
Na Yan asked, "Are you alright now?"
Imperial Physician Jiang said: "Your Highness, we can only temporarily preserve his life, but the wound is too deep. Whether he can survive, will depend on his own luck."
"What do you mean?"
"If he still doesn't wake up within two days, then even if it's the Great Luo Deity, he wouldn't be able to save him." Imperial Physician Jiang sighed.
Na Yan's chest tightened as he looked at Song Zhi worriedly.
After a while, he said weakly, "All of you, leave."
Everyone retreated.
Na Yan walked to the bedside and sat down, patting Song Zhi's arm.
At this moment, he felt complicated.
He said, "You saved this king's life. This time, if you can make it through, this king will guarantee that you will not have to worry for the rest of your life!"
If it wasn't for Song Zhi, that sword would have pierced his chest.
Such kindness must be repaid!
On the other hand, Song Zhi was in a deep coma and had completely lost his consciousness. It was unknown whether or not he could survive.
Na Yan stayed in the inner chamber for a long time before leaving.
A guard was standing at the door. "Your Highness."
He shouted.
He seemed to have something to report.
Na Yan's eyes narrowed. After instructing the servant girl to take good care of Song Zhi, he went out.
A guard came to his side and reported, "Your Highness, we have already ordered the entire city to search for him, but we haven't found him yet. We have also stepped up the search at the city gates, but we haven't found anyone suspicious."
Na Yan was infuriated. "Don't tell me they grew wings and flew away?"
"This subordinate has already ordered people to continue searching in the city. I believe they will definitely …"
"Definitely? What this prince wants is people. "
"… Ah!" The guard took two steps back and lowered his head. "This subordinate is incompetent."
"Trash!" Na Yan waved his sleeves and put his hands behind his back. His heart was burning with anger.
Who wants to kill me?
Looking at tonight's situation, it must have been premeditated for a long time!
At this time, the person who wants me dead the most … is Na Tuo.
Moreover, the person who can make those assassins disappear so cleanly in Gaoding City, other than Na Tuo, there is no one else who can do this!
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. "Hmph, Na Tuo, if you want my life, then I'll show you."
He clenched his fists tightly.
He clenched his fists so hard that his bones cracked!
…
Li Cheng couldn't find Song Zhi and Ji Yunshu, so he could only return to his residence.
As soon as he entered, he bumped into Li Qiao.
Li Qiao was surprised. "Why did you come back?"
"Where would I go if I didn't come back?"
"You don't know about the Second Prince's assassination?"
"I know!"
"The city department should be conducting a strict search. At this time, you should be there."
Li Cheng smiled as if it had nothing to do with him. "Big Brother, although it happened in the city and the city department is in charge of it, what can I do even if I stay there?"
"You are doing your duty. Don't let others gossip about you," Li Qiao reminded him seriously.
"That's enough, Big Brother. Don't talk to me about this. I understand. I'm tired, so I'm going to rest." Li Cheng's expression was unsightly as he turned to leave.
But as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Li Qiao followed him and sent away all the servants in the courtyard.
Li Cheng was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Li Qiao took a deep breath and organized his words. "Is it because of the Shi Lin incident that your heart …"
Li Cheng frowned and interrupted him. "It's all in the past. Can you not bring it up?" "Yes, it's all in the past. Indeed, it shouldn't be brought up. But for justice, you went to the Prime Minister's residence to arrest Shi Lin despite my father's and my advice. Shi Lin was executed. I believe you must be very sad and guilty! You have been staying in the city department for the past few days.
I wanted to talk to you, but I didn't have a chance. I just wanted to tell you that you don't have to worry about Shi Lin's death. You don't have to feel guilty. "
"Are you done?"
"Ah Cheng …"
"I said I want to rest. You can go." Li Cheng took off his belt and put it on the screen. Then, he began to take off his coat.
It was as if he was sending a guest off!
Li Qiao refused to leave. His Adam's apple moved up and down as if he had something to say.
But he couldn't open his mouth.
Li Cheng glanced at him. "What else do you want?"
Impatient!
Li Qiao sighed and finally said what he had been holding in his heart. "I want to talk to you about your sister."
Huh?
Could it be that he wanted to talk about Li Wenshu shaving her hair and becoming a nun?
She had already left the city to go to the temple. What else was there to talk about?
Li Cheng didn't want to touch on those sad things.
He turned his head, took off his coat, and sat on the bed. As he took off his shoes, he said, "Sister is not in the residence now. If you want to talk, go out of the city to find her."
"Can you let me finish what I have to say?"
"I don't want to hear what you want to say." Li Cheng threw his shoes on the ground.
He fell on the bed.
Just as she was about to go to sleep, Li Qiao walked over and said, "I shouldn't have told you about this, but I don't want to hide it from you. Actually, Dad and I have always known about your sister and Du Mubai."
Uh!
In an instant, Li Cheng sat up on the bed.
