Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

"What happened?" Qin Ruhuan asked anxiously, her beautiful face full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"Lord Left Prime Minister was assassinated on his way back from court!" the man said anxiously, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead. It was obvious that he had been running all the way here, and his breathing was rapid and disordered.

Qin Ruhuan stood up quickly, her expression suddenly changed, "Father was assassinated? How is he now?"

Her voice trembled, and her originally rosy lips lost their color. She turned pale with anxiety, as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

"He was injured and just been carried back home. I came here directly to deliver the letter. I don't know his specific injury yet!" The man said breathlessly, breathing heavily and trying to calm his breath.

Qin Ruhuan immediately stood up and rushed out, her skirt fluttering, her anxious figure like a gust of wind.

Bai Xiaofeng and others also quickly followed out, all of them looking hurried and walking in a hurry.

When everyone arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, the imperial physician was standing by the left prime minister's bed with a worried look on his face. He kept shaking his head and sighing. The room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

I saw an arrow stuck in the right chest of the left prime minister, and the feathers at the tail of the arrow were still trembling slightly, as if telling of the danger of the assassination.

The eldest lady was crying beside him, her tears soaking her handkerchief. She cried sadly: "Master, please don't let anything happen to you!"

"Father! Father!" Qin Ruhuan quickly came to the window, her voice filled with tears.

Zuo Xiang had his eyes closed and his face was as pale as paper. No matter how she called out to him, he showed no response. His silence made Qin Ruhuan's heart sink to the bottom in an instant.

"Doctor Bai! Come and take a look!" Qin Ruhuan said hurriedly to Bai Xiaofeng, her eyes full of pleading and expectation.

Bai Xiaofeng quickly stepped forward to check the wound, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn. The arrow had penetrated deeply into the flesh, and it was very risky to extract the arrow. It would easily cause heavy bleeding, which would be life-threatening!

"Hurry! Prepare the hemostatic bandage, scissors! Wine!" Bai Xiaofeng said nervously, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

The imperial physician hurriedly opened his medicine box, took out various tools, gauze, etc., and cooperated with Bai Xiaofeng in a hurry.

Qin Ruhuan paced anxiously by the side, her hands tightly clasped together, not daring to take her eyes off her father for a moment.

At this moment, Zuo Xiang suddenly started coughing violently and blood spurted out of his mouth. Everyone's heart was gripped again.

"Everyone, be quiet first, don't panic!" Bai Xiaofeng shouted loudly, with beads of sweat on his forehead sliding down his cheeks.

After intensive treatment, Zuo Xiang's condition was finally temporarily stabilized, but he was still in danger of death.

Qin Ruhuan stayed by her father's bed and secretly vowed to find out the murderer behind the incident and avenge her father.

However, outside the Xiangfu at this time, there was a pair of mysterious eyes secretly watching all this...

Bai Xiaofeng took a deep breath, his eyes firm and focused, holding the scissors tightly in both hands, and carefully cut open the clothes around Zuo Xiang's wound to see the injury more clearly. His forehead was covered with sweat, but he had no time to wipe it off.

"Bring some strong liquor and disinfect the area around the wound!" Bai Xiaofeng said loudly, his voice steady and powerful.

The servant beside him hurriedly handed him the strong liquor, and he took it and gently poured it on the wound. The left prime minister's body trembled slightly due to the pain, but he was still unconscious.

Bai Xiaofeng picked up a clean cloth, dipped it in strong liquor, and carefully wiped the area around the wound again to ensure thorough disinfection. He kept his eyes fixed on the wound, not daring to slack off.

"Hold down the left prime minister, and don't let him move." Bai Xiaofeng ordered the people around him in a serious tone. Everyone stepped forward and held down the left prime minister tightly.

After everything was ready, Bai Xiaofeng held the arrow with both hands, his finger joints turning white from the force.

He gritted his teeth and exerted force to try to pull the arrow out, but the arrow was stuck very deep and the first attempt was unsuccessful.

Bai Xiaofeng frowned and readjusted his posture and strength. "One, two, three!" He shouted and exerted force again. This time, accompanied by a muffled groan from Zuo Xiang, the arrow was finally pulled out slowly.

Instantly, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the scene was shocking. "Quick! Stop the bleeding!" Bai Xiaofeng shouted.

He quickly pressed the wound with a hemostatic patch. He did not dare to loosen his hands at all. He stared at the wound, observing the bleeding, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

When the bleeding slowed down, he quickly took out the hemostatic powder he had prepared himself, sprinkled the entire bottle on the wound, and then quickly bandaged the wound with gauze.

With the hemostatic powder, the wound really stopped bleeding! Bai Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, then prescribed a few medicines for Qin Ruhuan to take care of.

After Bai Xiaofeng treated Zuo Xiang's wound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Ruhuan looked at her unconscious father, her eyes full of worry and distress.

At this time, the atmosphere in the mansion was still tense and depressing. Qin Ruhuan ordered the servants to take good care of Zuo Xiang, while she and Bai Xiaofeng went aside to discuss.

"Doctor Bai, will father be able to survive this time?" Qin Ruhuan's voice was trembling slightly.

Bai Xiaofeng looked solemn and said, "The injuries are too severe. Although they have been treated, they still need to be observed. The next few days are crucial. If they can survive, there may still be a chance of survival."

Qin Ruhuan bit her lip, nodded slightly, and secretly vowed in her heart to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Outside the mansion, a dark shadow quickly disappeared around the corner.

In the afternoon, King Jing heard the news and brought Fei Ye and Fei Xue to the Prime Minister's residence to visit the Left Prime Minister.

King Jing Xiao Jingxuan, wearing a gorgeous purple robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns, a white jade belt around his waist, and a jade pendant that symbolized his status, came to the Zuo Xiangfu with a dignified manner. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his handsome face was filled with a solemn and concerned expression.

After entering the mansion, King Jing met Qin Ruhuan and Bai Xiaofeng in the living room.

Qin Ruhuan bowed gently, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Your Highness, you are here. Father... is still in a coma."

King Jing nodded slightly, looked at Bai Xiaofeng and asked, "Xiaofeng, how is the left prime minister's injury?"

Bai Xiaofeng replied: "Don't worry, King Jing, the left prime minister's wound has been properly treated, and his life is not in danger for the time being, but it will take some time for him to wake up."

King Jing walked to the bedside, looked at the unconscious Zuo Xiang, and said softly: "Zuo Xiang has worked hard for the country. This time he suffered such a disaster. This king must investigate it thoroughly."

Qin Ruhuan bit her lip and said, "Prince Jing, the assassin has not been caught yet. I am really worried that he will come again."

King Jing consoled her, "Don't worry, Ruhuan. I have already sent someone to investigate and will definitely find the assassin."

At this time, Bai Xiaofeng said, "Prince Jing, in my opinion, the identity of this assassin is probably not simple. Anyone who dares to assassinate the left prime minister in broad daylight must be well prepared."

King Jing frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I am also thinking about this problem. There are not many people in the capital who dare to attack the left prime minister..."
