A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "No, Qingyuan Residence is too far from the outer courtyard. If something really happens, you won't have enough time to report it."

At this time, she didn't dare to be careless at all.

Logically speaking, Shen Zhixiu was a civil official, so there was no need for the prince to go to so much trouble to surround the Shen family.

Such a large-scale mobilization might be intended to contain Shen Zhixiu in the palace.

Therefore, if the Shen family was controlled, it would mean that Shen Zhixiu was controlled, and Su Qingyu would not allow such a thing to happen.

Seeing her determination, Jiang Qi said no more and they walked towards the outer courtyard.

On the way, Jiang Qi asked again: "What reinforcements are you talking about, Madam..."

At this time, Su Qingyu did not intend to hide it. She said, "Prince Ning is back and is currently in charge of the Xishan Camp."

"I estimate that when Prince Ning gets the news, he will immediately lead the people from the West Mountain Camp to the capital to quell the rebellion. It shouldn't take more than an hour."

The prince trapped the father and son of the Song family in the palace in order to make the troops in the West Mountain camp outside the city leaderless and unable to respond in time.

But what the prince didn't know was that last night, Song Zan secretly handed over the military power of the Xishan camp to Su Yuanzhou, and several of his trusted aides also confessed.

When Jiang Qi heard that Prince Ning was back, his expression immediately relaxed a little, "If His Royal Highness Prince Ning can come to the capital to quell the rebellion, then the people outside won't be able to keep going for long."

Su Qingyu was not so relieved, as she didn't know what would happen in the palace.

Whether the Shen family can survive does not depend on the two thousand elite soldiers outside. It still depends on whether the prince can succeed and whether Shen Zhixiu can return safely.

She subconsciously touched her bulging belly. The child didn't bother her much today. Perhaps he also knew that this was a matter of life and death for the Shen family.

Shen Xi is not as lively as Shen Cheng, but he has always respected Su Qingyu, the third aunt. Seeing Su Qingyu touching her belly, Shen Xi hurriedly asked: "Aunt, are you feeling uncomfortable?

Su Shunci looked at Su Qingyu worriedly after hearing this, "What happened to Big Sister?"

Su Qingyu shook her head and comforted him, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Shen Xi thought for a while and said, "I think we should let the court doctor stay with Third Aunt, so that if she feels uncomfortable, there will be someone to take care of her."

Su Qingyu nodded and said, "Third Young Master, this is a good idea. Please ask the court doctor to go to the outer courtyard. If anyone is injured, they can be treated in time."

Afterwards, they arrived at the main hall of the outer courtyard, where they could already hear the sounds of fighting at the gate and the sound of banging on the gate.

Even though Su Qingyu was mentally prepared, the violent banging of the door still made her feel heavy in her heart.

Shen Xi had been studying, so he had never seen such a scene. He clenched his hands into fists under his wide sleeves, and reminded himself that he was a man, and he had to respond calmly and protect the women and brothers and sisters at home.

Su Shunci had a cold look on his face, and he stared at the gate with narrowed eyes. Those people outside deserved to die.

After several people entered the hall, Su Qingyu sat down in the main seat.

Then he discussed with Jiang Qi how to fight the enemy.

Su Qingyu and Jiang Qi agreed with each other. They both felt that there was no need to fight hard and that they could just delay the time.

Finally, it was decided to counterattack with bows and arrows from a high place to block the opponent's attack.

Before Jiang Qi left, he said to Su Qingyu, "Madam, I will go to the front now. Please do not put yourself in danger and just stay here."

Shen Xi heard this and said, "Aunt San, Deputy Commander Jiang and I will go over to support them. If there is anything that needs to be decided, I will come back and discuss it with you."

Looking at Shen Xi's resolute face, Su Qingyu nodded and said, "Be careful."

He then ordered Jiang Qi, "Protect the Third Young Master."

Jiang Qi responded yes and left with Shen Xi.

Su Shunci stayed by Su Qingyu's side, not daring to leave her side.

Su Shunci felt more at ease only when the court doctor arrived.

She was afraid that Su Qingyu might get a miscarriage due to emotional fluctuations and anger. At this time, it was difficult to even go to the palace to invite the imperial physician.

There were constant sounds of fighting and shouting outside the gate not far away. Su Qingyu stared at the clepsydra, calculating the time in her mind.

Only then did she realize what it really meant to live every day like a year.

At this moment, half an hour had passed since the Shen family was surrounded. Rebels continued to come in through the high wall. Although they were all killed by the Shen family guards, some of them were injured in the fighting.

The guards came to call the court doctor to treat the patient. Seeing this, Su Shunci said, "Big sister, I will take some people to help Doctor Zhang."

Otherwise, even if Doctor Zhang had three heads and six arms, he would probably not be able to handle the work alone.

Su Qingyu subconsciously refused: "You don't know any medical skills, and it won't help if you go. Just stay by my side and don't go anywhere else."

Even though Su Shunci was already able to stand on her own in the outside world, in Su Qingyu's heart, she was still a child. And a girl, what would happen if she was really hurt?

Su Shunci said, "Don't worry, big sister. I won't let anything happen to me. I will go with Doctor Zhang to take care of the injured guards and servants. I can also make decisions on some matters."

Doctor Zhang cannot make decisions on many matters. Instead of sending someone to ask Su Qingyu for instructions, it would be better for her to make the decision on the sidelines.

Su Qingyu knew what she said made sense, so she told Feicui, "You stay with the Fourth Young Miss and make sure she is safe."

Feicui Fushen replied, "Yes, I will remember that. Madam, don't worry, I will never let the Fourth Miss get into trouble."

Feicui thought that even for the sake of her third cousin, she would protect the fourth young lady.

She saw clearly that the Fourth Miss was the apple of the Third Cousin's eye.

Afterwards, Su Shunci took Feicui to the front. At that time, there were already three injured guards in the room, waiting for Doctor Zhang to bandage them.

There were also several maids and old women who followed Doctor Zhang's instructions, either boiling medicine or bringing water.

This place is closer to the door and the sounds of fighting are louder.

Su Shunci took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "Doctor Zhang, just tell me what you need."

"I have full authority over what happens here today."

Doctor Zhang said without even looking up, "It's great that the fourth young lady can make the decision. There is a person who is seriously injured and needs ginseng that is over a hundred years old to keep him alive."

Su Shunci immediately said, "Send someone to get it. Don't consider the price of the herbs at this time. As long as it can save lives and as long as it's medicine available in the mansion, use it."

If the Shen family survived this time, she could make up for it with any expensive herbs. If they couldn't survive, the mansion would lose everything and there was no need to save.

After that, Su Shunci said to Feicui, "You go get it yourself. If someone else goes, they might question you."

Jade nodded, turned around and ran to the pharmacy to get the herbs.

Su Shunci followed Doctor Zhang's technique and helped bandage the wound.

Before Feicui came back, three more people were carried in.

Su Shunci was worried. Doctor Zhang was the only doctor in the room who knew how to treat patients. But more and more people were injured. If this continued, the treatment would be delayed.

But Su Shunci hadn't figured out a solution yet, and the ginseng he used to use to hang the man was no longer working.

Doctor Zhang shouted, "Have you got the ginseng? Hurry up, or it will be too late."

Su Shunci immediately said, "I'll go check it out."

Having said that, she walked out of the room and looked in the direction of the pharmacy.

Not far away, Feicui was walking hurriedly towards them, and Su Shunci also went to meet her.

"You're finally back. Hurry up. Doctor Zhang is getting anxious."

Just as he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly shot in from outside the house and headed straight for Su Shunci.
