Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 156 The Severely Injured Grand Princess, The Mystery of the Assassination

The group moved quickly, arriving at the Grand Princess's room in just over thirty breaths.

"Stop with the formalities, Consort Qiao, go and have the Grand Princess take a look."

Upon seeing the arrival of the group, Emperor Dong Qin immediately spoke to Qiao Danxue.

"Yes, Father."

Jordan Xue didn't hesitate and went straight into the room.

"Everyone get out of the way."

Jordan Xue came to the bedside and immediately told the imperial physicians to make way.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the imperial physicians quickly made way for Qiao Danxue.

Jordan Xue sat down directly on the edge of the bed and began to examine the Grand Princess.

She quickly learned about the Grand Princess's situation.

"Leave the female healer behind, everyone else leave."

Jordan Xue gave direct instructions to the group of imperial physicians.

She now needs to remove the Grand Princess's clothes to treat her.

It would be inconvenient for these imperial physicians to stay.

The imperial physicians all guessed what Qiao Danxue was going to do and immediately got up and left.

"Your Highness, we are right outside the door. Please feel free to give us any instructions if you need anything."

Before leaving, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy said to Qiao Danxue.

Without pausing, he walked outside.

"You two come here and help the Grand Princess take off all her clothes."

After the imperial physicians left, Qiao Danxue immediately selected two female physicians and asked them to come forward and help the Grand Princess remove her clothes.

Jordan Xue walked to the side and began writing a prescription.

Before long, Qiao Danxue finished writing a prescription. It was a prescription for replenishing qi and nourishing blood, and it used precious medicinal materials.

The Grand Princess has lost too much blood and needs to replenish her qi and blood first.

"Take it and give it to the imperial physicians so they can prepare the medicine, decoct it, and send it over."

After speaking, Qiao Danxue took out her own concocted medicine and silver needles to treat the Grand Princess's wounds.

Although the Grand Princess had many knife wounds, the most serious one was the one to her chest. It seemed there wasn't enough time, and the assassin had only made a hasty strike, which missed its mark.

Otherwise, the Grand Princess would have been dead long ago.

Jordan was busy with all sorts of things.

By the time she came out of the Grand Princess's room, it was completely dark.

"How's it going?"

Emperor Dong Qin saw Qiao Danxue come out of the room.

"The wounds have all been treated, but my aunt has lost too much blood and is still unconscious."

"This serious injury has also damaged my aunt's health, and she will probably need to take good care of herself in the future."

Jordan Xue said, sounding somewhat tired.

There was no way around it; the wound on the Grand Princess's chest was simply too deep. Even if she were to treat it, it would be very troublesome, and a moment's carelessness could cost her her life.

"You've worked hard. You should rest for a bit. Let's go see the Grand Princess."

When the Emperor of Eastern Qin heard that the Grand Princess was alright, he finally felt relieved.

"Father, Aunt's condition is not completely stable yet. It's best not to go in now. Let's visit her tomorrow morning!"

Jordan Xue quickly spoke up to stop her.

The Grand Princess's condition is not yet fully stable.

"Your Highness, you have some Great Rejuvenation Pills left behind by the Prince before he left. We need to give one to the Grand Princess."

Jordan Xue then spoke to Jiang Pingle.

If the Grand Princess's injuries hadn't been so severe, she would have been reluctant to part with such a miraculous healing medicine.

This was also left by Qin Wu for them to save their lives.

She had also researched it and found that the medicinal materials needed to make this elixir were extremely precious.

Even their Poison Doctor Valley couldn't raise the funds.

"Take this and give it to your aunt!"

After listening to Qiao Danxue's words, Jiang Pingle took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Qiao Danxue.

Inside is a Great Rejuvenating Pill.

She carried it with her at all times, in case of any unexpected events.

I never expected to actually use it now.

Jordan Xue took the Great Rejuvenation Pill and immediately went into the room.

He came out after a while.

“Father, I have carefully examined the wounds on my aunt’s body. The knife wounds were not caused by the weapons used by our Eastern Qin.”

After resting for a while, Jordan Xue finally spoke.

In his memory, no weapon used by the Eastern Qin could have caused such a wound.

"It was not caused by the weapons of my Eastern Qin."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin frowned slightly.

His men have reported back that no weapons were found at the site of the attack on the Grand Princess.

The clues have also been cleared up.

Finding the assassin is going to be a bit tricky.

"Could this have been done by people from the Western Zhou Dynasty?"

Emperor Dong Qin guessed.

"It shouldn't be. In our Poison Doctor Valley, where we practice medicine all over the world, we have never recorded such a knife wound."

"If it weren't for the suturing method recorded in a medical book left by the prince, these wounds would have had a hard time healing on their own."

Even if it heals, it will leave a terrible wound.

Jordan shook her head again.

This was the first time she had ever seen a knife wound like this.

"If it wasn't done by our few countries, could it have been done by those small countries? They shouldn't have the guts to do that."

After listening to Qiao Danxue's words, Emperor Dong Qin...

This raised even more questions, with some even speculating whether the countries in question were small ones.

But those smaller states knew the strength of Eastern Qin, so they shouldn't have dared to do that.

Moreover, they probably don't have that capability.

Otherwise, if they were discovered by Dong Qin, their fate would not be good.

Most importantly, those small countries are not capable of doing such a thing under their noses.

Even the Imperial Shadow Guards couldn't find any trace of them.

"Did Xiao Jiu leave some bodyguards for you?"

The Emperor of Eastern Qin couldn't understand it at all, but then he suddenly remembered that Qin Wu's secret guards also had strong intelligence capabilities.

"Yes."

Jiang Pingle knew he couldn't hide it from the Emperor of Eastern Qin, so he admitted it directly.

"Have them also investigate the person who attacked the Grand Princess, and report back immediately once they find him."

Emperor Dong Qin immediately spoke to Jiang Pingle.

He wanted to see if those people could leave no trace under the combined investigation of him and Qin Wu's secret guards.

"Father, are you sure you want our Divine Martial Royal Palace's secret guards to take action?"

Jiang Pingle looked at the Emperor of Eastern Qin and confirmed it again.

The Eastern Qin Emperor was unaware, but she was well aware that the secret guards trained by Qin Wu were ruthless in their investigations.

Once they make their move, many people will likely suffer.

"Okay, go ahead and investigate."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin said with certainty.

Now he needs to find that group of people as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, having such a group of people stay in the capital would be a huge hidden danger.

If they dared to assassinate the Grand Princess this time, they'll dare to assassinate other members of the royal family next time.

What they didn't know was that this group's initial target was Jiang Pingle and his group of four, but after investigation...

They then abandoned the idea.

The main reason is that the four women don't separate whenever they go out.

Among the four, there is also a Grandmaster-level expert, and they have many hidden protectors.

Unsure of their ability to assassinate the four women, they ultimately targeted the royal princess, who was the easiest target to kill.

The eldest princess was the primary target.

Unfortunately, the reinforcements arrived too quickly this time, and they failed to kill the Grand Princess.

"Yes, Father, I will make the arrangements immediately."

Seeing that the Emperor of Eastern Qin had said so, Jiang Pingyue didn't say anything more.

He got up and headed towards the Prince's Mansion.

After a few leaps, they entered the Divine Martial King's Palace.
