Wei Ting also asked about this. “Ever since Moxie was captured, the Princess of the Western Jin immediately brought people over to guard the event location.”
Su Xiaoxiao was deep in thought.
“Is my uncle alright? Tell me!” ‘Qin Su!”
“If you don’t come out now! I’ll…” The door opened.
Zhao Kangning’s shouting stopped.
She glanced at Su Xiaoxiao coldly and saw that Wei Ting was also there. She restrained her ferociousness slightly. “Can I go in now?”
“No.” Su Xiaoxiao rejected mercilessly.
She did not spoil Zhao Kangning.
“You…” Zhao Kangning was furious.
Su Xiaoxiao said to the two sacrificial soldiers at the door, “Don’t let a fly in.” Zhao Kangning flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Who are you calling a fly?”
“What do you think?” Su Xiaoxiao ignored her and returned to her courtyard. There was still a patient there.
Wei Ting went to the lobby and told everyone that Helian Ye had temporarily survived.
“Is that true?” The emotions of the Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty fluctuated.
The others were also in disbelief.
How could he still be alive after losing so much blood?
It was not a matter of medical skills, but if there was no blood, one would die of exhaustion!
They naturally couldn’t guess that Su Xiaoxiao had a pharmacy blood bank and felt that it was unbelievable. Was this a god?
Wei Ting was rarely humble and said seriously, “At the moment, she has only stabilized his injuries. General Helian will only truly pass the critical period when he completely wakes up.”
Something flashed across the eyes of the Princess of the Western Jin.
Everyone’s thoughts were: Oh, so he wasn’t saved. They knew it. It’s impossible for him to have any hope of survival with such serious injuries. Let’s wait a few hours. They should be announcing the obituary soon.
What followed was a long wait. Some people were waiting for Helian Ye to wake up, such as the Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, and some were waiting for Helian Ye to completely die, such as Emperor Jing Xuan.
Wei Ting was also waiting for everyone who doubted the little fat peacock’s medical skills to be slapped in the face.
On the other side, the situation with Ghostfear was not good either.
He was not injured, but he had been in a daze and could not wake up. It was as if he was experiencing a painful nightmare over and over again. His clothes were drenched in cold sweat, and a hoarse voice came from his dry lips.
“Father…”
“Second Brother…
“Third Brother…
“Sixth Brother…
“Your Highness…”
Wei Liulang’s eyes turned red with heartache. “Big Brother must have dreamed about Broken North Pass…’
It had been almost five years since the battle at Broken North Pass. How many times had he dreamed of it at night? As long as he closed his eyes, it was as if he could see his father and brothers die tragically in front of him.
Fifth Brother took off his armor and buried him under the blood-soaked corpse. He covered him with his injured body. “Little Six… Don’t cry… Don’t make a sound.
That was the last thing Fifth Brother said to him.
Ghostfear’s fever was so high that he couldn’t be fed medicine. Su Xiaoxiao injected a dose of fever needles into his muscles.
She was a doctor. She had to maintain absolute calm.
She paused and asked, “Sixth Brother, was there anyone who went to war on behalf of the Emperor four years ago?
Wei Liulang pulled himself out of his emotions and didn’t understand why Su Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh.”
After dealing with Ghostfear’s condition, Su Xiaoxiao made a bowl of medicine. She put it into a food box and brought it to Helian Ye.
Around evening, Helian Ye finally woke up.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed again. This fellow was really tough. He became conscious in less than 12 hours.
Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed and took his pulse. “Can you hear me?” Helian Ye’s eyes reacted.
“Looks like you can.” Su Xiaoxiao let go and pulled a stool over to sit down. “Don’t look at me so fiercely. I’m not here to kill you. On the contrary, I saved you.”
Helian Ye was very weak, so Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid of him.
Su Xiaoxiao opened the food box and placed the medicine bowl on another stool. “The medicine is still a little hot. I’ll ask you a few questions first.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t like to beat around the bush, especially with her enemies.
“I can save you and also kill you, so you’d better cooperate obediently. Don’t provoke me and don’t lie to me. Of course, it’s very difficult for you to deceive me in your current situation.”
When a person was weak, their psychological defense would decrease. Even if his remaining rationality told him to be vigilant, his mind was not as fast as usual.
She had to hurry. It would not be easy to get information from him if he became more and more awake later.
“That person came to look for you, right? What did you talk about? Why did that person want to kill you?”
“You should understand that if this person can sneak into your room once, it can happen a second time. I won’t say much about the reason. You know better than me. The Princess of the Western Jin Kingdom can’t always send people to protect you. All she wants is Moxie’s innocence. Now, I’m the only one left who can protect you. You can choose not to believe me, but you definitely don’t have a second choice!”
“Or let’s try it another way. I ask you questions. In exchange, you can ask me.”
Hearing this, Helian Ye’s expression finally relaxed for a moment. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao weakly and used half his life’s dignity and stubbornness to break free from his unbearable pain.
“Lord Wu An… is he my father?”
“No,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “You’re already like this. I don’t have to lie to you.” Helian Ye’s eyes turned red.
He looked at the ceiling like a puppet whose last soul had been sucked out.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Now it’s your turn to answer my question. Did that person come to you last night to continue coaxing you into believing your background, or to ask if you got that imperial edict from Zhang Feng?”
Helian Ye tacitly agreed.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him. “Looks like it was both. It’s your turn again. What else do you want to ask?”
Helian Ye said in a hoarse voice, “The person last night…”
But he didn’t say anything else.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him deeply and said, “Yes.”
It was Wei Chen.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him. “One last question. Is the person who used you to deal with the Wei family the Eldest Princess?”
Helian Ye said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze. “Thank you for your answer. I think I already know who it is.”
Helian Ye looked at her in shock.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Wei Ting and my father searched the palace but couldn’t find the murderer. Instead of having escaped, I’m more willing to believe that the other party is hiding. The most dangerous place is the safest place. That person is hiding in this room, right?”
Helian Ye’s pupils dilated.
Su Xiaoxiao stood up and dusted her sleeves indifferently.
“Show yourself, Your Highness.” “Or should I call you… King Nanyang?”
