Chapter 312 - 312 Rescue
312 Rescue
“Alright, go out and discuss this with Su Qi. Then, hand her over. For the next few days, you just have to do your best to ensure Mr. Pei’s safety. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”
After Lu Ze glanced at the situation in the courtyard, he thought for a moment before saying, “Let’s take a look later. If possible, we should move Mr. Pei back to the residence to recuperate as soon as possible.”
This really wasn’t a suitable place to recuperate at.
Qian He immediately turned around and went out to look for Su Qi. Lu Ze turned around and went into the inner room. Then, he reached for the copper basin on the shelf at the side and twisted a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Lin Suisui’s forehead.
Lu Ze accompanied Lin Suisui at the side. From time to time, he would follow her instructions and provide her with some help. This lasted for nearly four hours before Lin Suisui finally cut the last thread. Then, she turned around and said to Qian He, who was still standing at the side, “I’ve already stitched up Mr. Pei’s injuries.
The antidote you guys gave him previously was somewhat useful towards the poison on the blade, but the poison wasn’t completely expelled. I’ll prescribe a prescription for him later. Arrange for someone to boil it.
“Also, you have to pay more attention to Mr. Pei’s condition at night. In short, if he survives tonight, the rest will be easy.”
Lin Suisui panted tiredly before reaching out to lean against Lu Ze as she stood up. After she walked to the table at the side, she began to write down the prescription.
Qian He also took this opportunity to say, “I’ve already instructed the warm pavilion to be cleaned up. I’ll have to trouble you two to make do here for the night.”
At this moment, Pei Qian was still in a critical situation, so Qian He didn’t dare to let Lin Suisui leave just like that.
Lin Suisui didn’t object. She only nodded slightly and handed the prescription in her hand to Qian He. “Take this prescription.”
Lin Suisui originally wanted to rest for a while, but Lu Ze bent down and picked her up. Then, he turned around and walked in the direction Qian He had pointed.
With Pei Qian’s injuries, there was still a lot to do tonight, so Lu Ze didn’t want to waste time here. He only wanted Lin Suisui to go over and rest quickly.
“I’ve thought about it. When his injuries improve tomorrow, I’ll move him out of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry.” As Lu Ze placed Lin Suisui on the warm bed so that she could lie down and rest, he whispered the information he had obtained from Qian He to Lin Suisui. Then, he said, “It can be seen that the person who controlled the mother Gu this time must have an extraordinary status!
Otherwise, the northern barbarians wouldn’t have been so nervous and even sent a shadow guard to save that person.
“Pei Qian won’t recover from his injuries anytime soon. After I start dealing with these things, I definitely can’t stay by your side for that long every day. I’m really worried about you staying in Duke Huai Yang’s ministry.”
As the saying went, being coveted was more unnerving than being robbed!
However, the current environment was a den of thieves!
How could he be at ease leaving her here?
“We’ll see tomorrow. If Pei Qian’s injuries are stable, he can be moved.” Lin Suisui raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned as she nodded in accordance with Lu Ze’s words. At the same time, she tugged at his sleeve. “Lie down with me for a while.”
“Alright.” Lu Ze nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Upon hearing Lu Ze’s agreement, Lin Suisui quickly moved to the bed to make room for Lu Ze. “But I don’t think the fourth prince will agree to Pei Qian going back to recuperate.
“Besides, even if we bring Pei Qian back, with the fourth prince’s personality, it’s impossible for him to stay in Duke Huai Yang’s ministry in peace.”
“Yes, he’s so afraid of death…”
Lu Ze sneered as he pulled Lin Suisui into his arms. Seeing that she was lying comfortably with her eyes closed, he patted her back gently and comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t think about this anymore. Go to sleep first.
It’s not too late to talk about the rest after you wake up.”
Just as Lin Suisui had reminded him about, Pei Qian developed a high fever in the latter half of the night. Because he had seen Lin Suisui treat many injuries previously, Lu Ze was already familiar with dealing with such unforeseen events. He arranged for Qian He to prepare strong wine to help Pei Qian cool down. He also took the medicine that Lin Suisui had prescribed to reduce the fever and fed Pei Qian more than half a bowl. At dawn, Pei Qian’s condition improved.
Although he had not woken up yet, at least the high fever had subsided.
Lu Ze instructed Qian He to feed Pei Qian the medicine again before putting down the soup bowl. Then, he returned to the warm pavilion to lie down and rest beside Lin Suisui, who was still asleep.
When Lin Suisui woke up, she was surprised.
Logically speaking, she should not have been able to sleep so well after what had happened yesterday, but…
“I got someone to light some sleep-inducing incense in the room.” During breakfast, Lu Ze recounted last night’s situation and explained to the confused Lin Suisui, “You helped Pei Qian stitch up his wound yesterday. It took a lot of effort, so you shouldn’t have to worry about a small matter like a fever.”
In Lu Ze’s opinion, Pei Qian deserved to suffer so much this time!
They all knew that the northern barbarians had a group of shadow guards who could disguise themselves, but he still wasn’t vigilant at all! Therefore, who else could he blame for falling into their trap this time?
Fortunately, Lin Suisui had saved his life this time. If he was still so careless next time, he would probably die.
“If possible, can you find an opportunity for me to meet the northern barbarian who controls the mother Gu?” Lin Suisui was halfway through her breakfast when she finally couldn’t help but look up at Lu Ze and say, “What I mean is, after you’ve finished interrogating him, can you let me meet that person?”
“Are you interested in the mother Gu in his hand?” As soon as Lin Suisui spoke, Lu Ze knew what she was thinking. He didn’t refuse. “Alright, I’ll find an opportunity to let you see this Gu owner.”
“Give this to that shadow guard.” As Lin Suisui spoke, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her pouch and handed it to Lu Ze. “This is the pill you mentioned to me last time. Whoever eats it will feel weak all over and lose mobility, but won’t lose consciousness.”
