Chapter 12: The Cost
Chu Ke said: "Hui Zhen has encountered some trouble... I suspect that Wu Tiege Zhu Huiyan is also in trouble, please Grandfather hurry and find someone to go to Sanmiao Street Hutong!"
Old Master Chu was shocked and stunned! He didn't dare to believe what he had just heard! He furrowed his brow in anger, saying: "What's going on here? A young lady..."
"Grandfather, Zhu Yuhuan has a huge connection with our family, my granddaughter will tell you later, but now we must immediately send someone to take a look. If we're late, I'm afraid something big will happen! You go in and see Yuhuan first, then you'll know how serious things are!" Chu Keqin hastily interrupted him and said, not caring if the old man was still angry, she pulled him into the house. Old Master Chu was momentarily stunned, being pulled by her into the room, he saw Zhu Yuhuan lying on the bed like a bloody person!
The old man took a deep breath! He only felt that things were indeed very serious. He went up to take a look at Zhu Yuheng's injury, stood up and stared at Chu Keqin with a stern voice: "What's going on?"
Chu Xue's face turned red with rage as she shouted, "Zhu Yuhuan might be in danger right now! Send someone immediately! If you say another word, our whole family will regret it to death!" Her voice rose several decibels, and she was so angry that she almost went up to throttle the old man.
Master Chu took one look at the situation and knew that something big had happened. Seeing the anxious and flustered look on Chu Ke's face, he knew it was a matter of utmost urgency and didn't dare to ask any more questions, prioritizing rescue above all else.
The old man came out and called to follow him to this side, and ordered the servant at the gate: "Go to Sanmiao Street Hutong, see the fifth master of De Xingjun Wangfu immediately and bring him back! Take a few more guards!"
The servant quickly left, and Chu Kei added two more sentences from behind: "If Fifth Master encounters danger, be sure to rescue him with all your might!"
The servant answered and ran away.
The old man turned around and came back, first entering the house to check on Zhu Yuheng's bedside. Seeing that his injuries were severe and he was unconscious, the old man didn't even have the mood to ask what had happened, and immediately asked: "Has a doctor been called?"
"I've already called Ya Niang," said Chu Ke Qi.
Chu Lao Yezi got up and went out to instruct the servants waiting in the courtyard to go and invite Shen Yu Yi, a doctor with whom he had a very good relationship. Seeing the current situation, he naturally knew that something big that couldn't be said had happened. This Shen Yu Yi, being someone with whom he had a very good relationship, wasn't afraid of him spreading the word.
Just after finishing the order, the doctor summoned by the maid arrived and was led into the house in a hurry. As soon as the doctor saw the wound on his abdomen, he took a deep breath, hastily washed his hands to treat the wound. After cutting open the bandage wrapped around the wound, blood slowly seeped out.
Chu Xue followed and stood guard beside him, asking for water or anything else, she personally handed it over. Seeing the doctor slightly catching his breath, he hurriedly asked: "Is it serious? Is this injury severe?"
"The doctor shook his head and said: 'The injury is very serious, I'm afraid... it will be detrimental to your life.'"
Chu Xue hastily grabbed him and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and treat! Must cure it! If not, I..."
"This injury is serious, it's a hard wound..." The doctor stuttered and was at a loss for words. Shen Yuanyu arrived, and the doctor hastily wiped away his sweat and retreated. Shen Yuanyu stepped forward to take over, examined the wound, and remained calm. He immediately gave orders to his apprentices who had followed him to prepare gauze, herbal medicine, and other items.
Because they had to tear open their clothes, all the maids in the house went out. The old master waved his hand and told Chu Kei to go out too. Chu Kei hesitated for a moment, couldn't delay any longer, and could only follow everyone out.
Come and sit in the boudoir, anxiously waiting, several maids standing beside, not daring to ask anything, each one's face pale with fear.
Chu Ke was in a bad mood, not saying a word, her heart was like boiling water, simmering and bubbling over! It wasn't until half the day had passed that she finally asked: "About me going out... who in the mansion knows? Does Old Madam or Madame know?"
Bai Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief after she returned safely, and hurriedly said: "The servants haven't spoken yet... Fortunately, they held on..."
Jing'er nodded and said, "It was this servant who told them not to report back for the time being... No one saw the young lady leave, nor did anyone know about it. This servant also thought that the young lady didn't want the people in the main house to find out."
Chu Ke nodded: "Well done......" She frowned and looked inside the house, then looked outside again. She hoped that the one who went to Sanmiao Street was not Zhu Yuhuan, hoping she had guessed wrong!
Time passed very slowly, at Chu Xue's place, this hour was simply dragged to the extreme! She called Jing'er in several times, and Jing'er came out each time saying that Shen Yuanyi was treating the wound on Second Master's abdomen.
She then asked Qing Guo to go outside and see if the old master's servants had returned, Qing Guo came back and said that it was very quiet outside, not a sound could be heard!
When Chu Xue felt like her head was about to explode, the room finally heard a voice, and the old man personally sent Shen Yu out. She had just not given this Shen Yu a courtesy, and Shen Yu did not notice her when he came in. At this time, Chu Xue hid and didn't come out. After the old man sent Shen Yu away, she came out of the side room and immediately went into the inner room.
Zhu Yichen lay on the bed, still silent. Chu Ke'er lifted up the quilt and saw that the wound on his abdomen had been bandaged well, with a faint scent of green herbs and dark red blood seeping through. She gently touched his face and called out softly: "Second Brother?"
Zhu Yichan remained still, the door creaked open and Old Man Chu walked in with a stern face, ordering others: "Everyone get out!"
The maids quickly left, and Old Master Chu immediately asked: "What's going on? How did Yuexun get so seriously injured? Why is he back in the house again? Tonight... what happened?! What about Zhu Yuhuan?! Why does his family have to regret it when something happens to him?!" The old master remembered Chuke's words very clearly.
Chu Xue saw that there was no one in the house, and only then did she say: "This matter is a heaven-sized secret. If others find out, our family will be guilty of deceiving the emperor!"
The old man was prepared, but he was still startled and his whole body shook. As a prince's teacher for decades, he had seen many grand scenes and quickly calmed down, saying in a deep voice: "Start from the beginning!"
……
After listening to Chu Ke'er's words from start to finish, the old man couldn't bear it anymore. He stared blankly at her as she kept muttering: "Say... Huanyu is our family's child... Is he really my brother?"
Chu Ke nodded: "This matter is only known to Che Gui and his wife. If not for Hui Zhen going to kill that Che Gui to silence him, Zhu Hui would have used Che Gui to threaten... us."
The old man can't think of anything threatening, or the expensive car, his mind is all about Zhu Yuhuan being his own grandson, he keeps muttering to himself: "Yuhuan... is my grandson... He's actually my grandson..."
Chu Xue looked at him like that, a little afraid that he was so excited that he would shout out loud, and hastily said: "Grandfather! Although we don't want to, the crime of deceiving the king has already been committed! This matter cannot be known to others! And now, brother still doesn't know how...
The old man suddenly remembered! He stood up in an instant, the joy on his face had all turned into solemnity, and he said to her: "Third girl, this matter cannot be known by anyone else! Not even father... can't say it! Yī Zhèn take care of it well, I'll go ahead." As he spoke, he walked away, Chǔ Qiǎo looked at him, the old man's footsteps were much more vigorous, walking with a whooshing sound.
The sky is already slightly bright.
She walked over with a worried look, sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Zhu Yuchen's dispirited face, and suddenly couldn't hold back her tears, burying her face in Zhu Yuchen's chest and bursting into sobs...
……
Zhu Yuhuan felt dizzy and faint, his body getting cooler and cooler. He struggled to lift his head and saw a figure in front of him, seemingly hearing the person say: "Zhu Yuhuan! You've finally fallen into my hands! This is heaven's justice!"
He was dazed and felt that this person's voice was so familiar, listening to it seemed like... the voice of Prince Lan.
……
Lan Zhi got up early in the morning and heard that a house at the end of the alley in front of her mansion was on fire. She hastily washed and dressed, and rushed out to watch the commotion.
She also wanted to run to the main gate like everyone else, but as soon as she left her own courtyard, she saw someone sneaking towards the side door. Lan Zixu suddenly stopped in her tracks and secretly watched the servant, seeing that he was indeed acting suspiciously and sneaking towards the side door. Lan Zixu's little head was full of curiosity, and without hesitation, she quietly followed behind him, with a small fat maid following closely behind her, mimicking her movements.
Arriving at the side gate, Lan Xi leaned against the door and looked outside. On the snowy ground outside, she saw her elder brother and that servant standing there. Her elder brother was stomping his feet and whispering loudly: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Bury it quickly! Don't let anyone see!"
As soon as she saw the big brother, Lan Xi immediately shrank her head back and made a silencing gesture to Xiao Yatou. Xiao Yatou was also very afraid of the young master, her face turned pale and she nodded vigorously.
The sneaky servant from just now was holding an iron shovel, piling the snow on the road into a corner of the wall. He shivered as he worked, and it seemed like he was very cold. With each scoop of the shovel, half of the snow would fall off, but he continued to shiver and pile the snow onto the already high drift in the corner of the wall.
Lan Zhi looked at him with a tilted head for a while, saying that it was clearing the road, but the servant only shoveled the snow around him, and didn't clear the snow on the road. The shoveling was messy and didn't look like clearing the road at all. Moreover, his brother kept saying "Bury it! Bury it!" What treasure was he burying?
Lan Zhi had been secretly watching from the side, and the person below had piled up the snow in the corner of the wall to about half a person's height. Only then was Lan Gongzi satisfied, and he went up to trample it again with his feet to make it more compact. He then walked in with his hands behind his back, looking very pleased with himself as he held his head high.
It is by.
