Chapter 365 Murder and Silence
Chapter 365 Murder and Silence
"Master!"
"Princess!"
"gentlemen!"
……
Yan Wei, Qin Yun Chu, and the guards surrounded and protected Song Si Yao.
"Arrest him!" Yan Wei shouted coldly, and the guards immediately took the assailant into custody.
"Master, are you alright?" Yan Wei asked anxiously.
"Yan Wei, detain everyone and interrogate them one by one until we find out who's behind this!" Song Siyao clutched her stomach.
“Yes, Master.” Yan Wei looked at Qin Yun Chu. “Miss Qin, please help my master to the side to rest and check on her injuries.”
"Yes, Lord Yan." Qin Yunchu helped Song Siyao into the carriage.
She asked Song Siyao anxiously, "Sir, how are you feeling? Let me see your injuries."
"No need to look, I'm not injured," Song Siyao said calmly.
"That blood..." Qin Yun Chu asked, puzzled.
“It was the perpetrator.” Song Siyao’s expression turned slightly cold. Now that she was pregnant, she would definitely take precautions before acting, worried that someone might harm her child.
So the moment the assailant rushed over, she instinctively protected the child and, in a flash, stabbed the assailant in the abdomen with the dagger.
She was unharmed.
"Sir, you are planning to..." Qin Yun Chu did not understand Song Si Yao's intention.
That's true. After all, she had just graduated from the academy and hadn't experienced the wickedness and complexity of human relationships. She didn't understand so much deceit, intrigue, and scheming.
"Yun Chu, go and rescue the assailant. Make sure he lives. As for me, tell everyone that I am seriously injured and need to rest," Song Siyao instructed.
"Yes, sir."
As for the beggars and civilians causing trouble outside, Song Siyao trusted Yan Wei's abilities and was confident he could handle it well.
Since the performance had to be convincing, Qin Yun Chu finally stepped out of the carriage after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Miss Qin, how is my master?" Yan Wei was interrogating someone when he saw Qin Yun Chu arrive and immediately asked.
"The Crown Princess's injuries are serious and she needs to rest," Qin Yun Chu replied, following Song Si Yao's instructions.
Yan Wei's expression turned cold, and the chilling light in his eyes was visible to the naked eye. Qin Yun Chu had never seen Yan Wei like this before.
Yan Wei was cold and aloof, and not easy to approach.
But it wasn't brutal either.
But for a moment just now, Qin Yun Chu felt that what she saw was not the real Yan Wei.
It was Yan Wei who had gone mad and lost his mind.
She had long heard that Song Siyao had a deep bond with her apprentices.
But I didn't expect it to be this deep.
"Lord Yan, something terrible has happened! The person is dead!" At this moment, a guard came over to report to Yan Wei.
"Who died?" Yan Wei asked.
"You just interrogated the person who attempted to assassinate the Crown Princess," the guard said.
Yan Wei's face was terribly cold. He turned around and walked away quickly, and Qin Yun Chu jogged after him.
When they arrived, they saw the assailant already lying on the ground.
"Miss Qin, let's see if there's any hope for him?" Yan Wei said to Qin Yun Chu.
"Yes, Lord Yan." Qin Yun Chu bent down to check the assailant's breath, then stood up and looked at Yan Wei, "Lord Yan, the man is dead, beyond saving!"
"How did you guard him? He was perfectly fine just now, how could he suddenly die?" Yan Wei looked at the guards around him.
"Lord Yan, this man suddenly ran into us for some unknown reason and died after crashing into our swords," a guard reported.
"Miss Qin, something terrible has happened! Come quick! My Crown Princess has fainted!"
Just then, Hong Shao rushed over in a flurry of activity.
Qin Yun Chu and Yan Wei left this place and ran towards Song Si Yao's carriage.
"Lord Yan, it's not convenient for you to go in," Qin Yun Chu said to Yan Wei.
Yan Wei had no choice but to stand outside the carriage.
Qin Yun Chu climbed into the carriage, while Song Si Yao sat there calmly.
"That person is dead?" Song Siyao asked.
Qin Yunchu nodded. "Sir, I just examined his wounds. He didn't run into the hole himself; someone killed him."
"It seems that today's disturbance was specifically prepared for me. In that case, I'll play along."
Song Siyao instructed, "Go and tell everyone that I am unconscious and have someone send me back to the Crown Prince's residence. Have Feng Bai come."
"Also, tell Yan Wei to investigate thoroughly and find out who's behind this."
"Yes, sir."
Upon receiving the order, Qin Yun Chu quickly dismounted from the carriage.
"Miss Qin, why did my master suddenly fall into a coma?" Yan Wei asked, his eyes filled with worry.
He hadn't heard Song Siyao and Qin Yunchu speaking in such low voices because he was far away.
"The situation is rather complicated and I cannot handle it. Lord Yan, please send someone to escort the Crown Princess back to her residence and invite Physician Feng."
Yan Wei felt something was off when Qin Yun Chu said those words.
She immediately leaned close to Yan Wei's ear, lowered her voice, and told Yan Wei Song Siyao's instructions.
"Lord Yan, the Crown Princess has instructed you to conduct a thorough investigation and find out the real culprit behind this."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wei instantly understood Song Siyao's intention.
There was a tacit understanding between them, master and apprentice.
"I understand, Miss Qin, thank you for your hard work." Yan Wei immediately ordered, "Someone, the Crown Princess is seriously injured and unconscious. Send her back to the Crown Prince's residence immediately."
He then casually pointed to a guard and said, "Go and invite Physician Feng to the Crown Prince's residence!"
"Yes, Lord Yan." The guard went to carry out the order.
Yan Wei looked at Qin Yun Chu and said, "Miss Qin, please come with me to treat these injured people."
"Yes, Lord Yan."
Qin Yunchu was overjoyed, as long as she could be closer to Shen Pei.
Shen Pei acted swiftly and decisively, arresting all the troublemakers and personally interrogating them one by one.
Prince's Mansion.
Feng Bai has not left the Crown Prince's residence since he entered it.
During this time, the imperial physician also went in and did not come out.
The next day.
Leaving the palace.
"Consort, I heard that the Crown Princess's pregnancy is in danger," a maid reported to Jiang Yu.
"Really?" Jiang Yu asked, her face beaming with joy.
"The divine physician Feng and the imperial physicians did not come out of the Crown Prince's residence all night. This morning, I went to inquire about them, but I couldn't find out any information."
The maid analyzed, "The more this is the case, the more suspicious I find it. The Crown Princess's child is probably doomed."
"Great!" Jiang Yu slammed his fist on the table, a surge of hatred rising within him. He laughed loudly, "Song Siyao, you've finally met your match! With your child dead, no one can threaten me anymore! But you'd better live well, because I'll make you watch as I rise to the top and trample you under my feet!"
