Chapter 208 - 208 The Baby Cannot Be Saved
208 The Baby Cannot Be Saved
Sikou Qin was being supported by a guard, dying.
She could not die like this.
“Send… send me to the Gan clan’s house…” Sikou Qin said to the guard with all her might, “Find… find Zhao… Zhao Chuchu…”
“Excuse me, Your Excellency.”
The guard picked up Sikou Qin in a horizontal embrace and rushed to the Gan clan’s house as fast as possible.
Sikou Qin felt colder and colder, and her life seemed to fade gradually.
She thought, “Am I going to die?”
“Not dead? She’s going to kill that servant girl just because of that?” Zhao Chuchu’s mouth twitched. “She really doesn’t take other people’s lives seriously.”
Being high and mighty, one could treat human life as if it were not worth a penny.
“Perhaps Sikou Qin is heading to the Gan clan’s house to get your help at this time.” Xie Heng was indifferent. It was he who saved Chuntao, and he did not think that she could kill Sikou Qin with a single blow.
“Should I let her die?” Zhao Chuchu asked Xie Heng.
“Yes. She will be a threat to you and Junjun.” Xie Heng did not intend to let Sikou Qin live. “She can’t hurt the Great Prince in the slightest, but Sikou Zhendong can.”
Then, Xie Heng told Zhao Chuchu about his plan.
Zhao Chuchu was at a loss for words.
Once again, she was glad she wasn’t Xie Heng’s enemy. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known how she was going to get killed.
Just as they were talking, the door of the Gan clan’s house was knocked.
The doorkeeper of the Gan clan lit a lantern and opened the door to take a look, almost scared to death by the bloody Sikou Qin held by the guard. The doorkeeper thought it was the ghosts of injustice possessed in the middle of the night.
And the guard quickly said, “Where is Mrs. Xie? Quickly let Mrs. Xie out. We need her help!”
The doorkeeper returned to his senses and realized it was a living person.
“What’s going on?”
“Cut the crap. Quickly let Mrs. Xie come out to save her. It will not do you any good if Her Excellency dies.”
At this time, the guard couldn’t care less if he would reveal Sikou Qin’s identity.
“She is the Great Prince’s concubine! Find Mrs. Xie if you want to live,” the guard said in a low voice and barged in with Sikou Qin in his arms.
The commotion alerted Gan Maosheng, a martial arts practitioner.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and came out.
The guard saw him and said in a cold voice, “General Gan, quickly let Mrs. Xie come out to save Her Excellency, or you will suffer when the Great Prince ascertains where the responsibility lies.”
Gan Maosheng was also knowledgeable. The guard had an accent from Imperial City, and his sword was also the style of Imperial City. Therefore, Gan Maosheng knew this person was not lying and sent someone to ask Zhao Chuchu.
The house of the Gan clan was not big, so Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng naturally heard it and came out of the room.
“Grandpa Gan, what’s going on so late in the night?” Zhao Chuchu pretended not to know and yawned. Then as if she had just seen Sikou Qin and was scared out of sleep, she exclaimed, “What’s going on? Quickly, bring her inside. Da Lang, bring out my medicine box.”
At this moment, Sikou Qin was already unconscious because of excessive blood loss.
After entering the room, Gan Maosheng had people light many candles.
Zhao Chuchu looked at the injuries on Sikou Qin’s body and asked the guard with a frown, “Did you meet a bandit? Why is she injured like this? Oh, isn’t this the lady who came to see me only two days ago?”
“Have you ever seen Her Excellency?” The guard’s eyes turned cold.
Zhao Chuchu nodded. “Yes, she came here two days ago. But she behaved oddly, and her servant girl was unusually arrogant, so I remember her. She is severely injured now, so I can only do my best. Whether she survives or not, let’s leave it to fate!”
“If she dies, none of you will survive! I don’t care what method you use. You have to save her! She is the Great Prince’s concubine, so nothing can ever happen to her!”
“Matters of life and death are never left to human beings. A doctor’s skill is limited no matter how skilled he is.”
“I said, no matter what method you use, you must keep her alive!”
The guard suddenly drew his long sword.
The brightly shining blade was incomparably sharp and radiated an appalling chill.
Seeing this, Gan Maosheng immediately drew his sword and stopped the guard. “If you dare to move, I will let you die today!”
“General Gan, you’d better see the situation clearly!” The guard was no slouch either.
Xie Heng spoke at this time. “Chuchu is about to save people, so let’s go out for the time being. Whether she can save the person, she can only try her best. If you think the threat is useful, why don’t you just beat away the ghosts who come to get back the soul first!”
The guard gave Xie Heng a deep look.
But Xie Heng looked as usual.
The guard put the sword back and let all the men present go out.
Before they left, Zhao Chuchu suddenly said, “She is too badly injured and even poisoned, so the baby in her belly can’t be saved.”
“Both of them must live.”
“Well, then you can take her away. I won’t cure her. I don’t want to lose my life to cure a person. Who knows if she is really the Great Prince’s concubine.”
Zhao Chuchu immediately put the medicine box away.
That guard stared at her with bloodshot eyes.
“Save her!”
He was about to point his sword at Zhao Chuchu again.
“If you are so rude again, I can only send you to the officials. In the end, you should not regret delaying the rescue!”
The guard held back and eventually went out.
“Calm down.” Three guards in total came over, and when they saw the situation, they all went up to try to persuade that guard.
The Great Prince would definitely investigate the matter if the child of his concubine were lost. By then, they would only be…
How could the guards, who were all covered in blood, not know the consequences of this?
And if Sikou Qin died, they would have no way to live or even embroil their whole family.
Sikou Qin was stabbed many times by Chuntao, so she was lucky enough if could survive, but the baby in her belly was impossible to be saved.
After they all went out, Zhao Chuchu looked at Sikou Qin.
As long as she took action now, Sikou Qin would definitely die.
But Sikou Qin could not die in the Gan clan’s house. Otherwise, it would bring the Gan clan into trouble.
But Zhao Chuchu would let Sikou Qin linger on for a while and stay in a coma.
And this was also Xie Heng’s idea.
Zhao Chuchu stopped Sikou Qin’s bleeding as fast as she could, pulling her back from the brink of death, but she was still dying.
Just as Zhao Chuchu was treating Sikou Qin’s wound, Qiao Heting came with County Magistrate Qiao.
That was because Xie Heng had given a wink to Gan Quan the moment he came out of the room, signaling Gan Quan to inform them.
“I heard that the Great Prince’s concubine is here?” County Magistrate Qiao directly asked.
The guard was about to deny it, but when he saw the white-clothed intellectual beside County Magistrate Qiao, his face changed dramatically.
He didn’t expect that Qiao Heting was also in Yuanjiang County.
“Yes,” the guard replied.
They were from the Sikou clan, so they naturally knew Qiao Heting’s identity.
“What’s going on? Why did the Great Prince’s concubine come to Yuanjiang County for no reason?” Qiao Heting asked.
The guard could only lie. “The Great Prince’s concubine is not feeling well and heard that there is a Doctor Miracle in Yuanjiang County, so she came to seek medical help, but she didn’t expect that her servant girl would hold a grudge because of being chastised by her. And the servant girl assassinated the Great Prince’s concubine by taking advantage of her trust.”
“How can there be such a heartless person? Where is that servant girl now? Has she escaped? We must hurry to call the guards of the county office to search for her so that we can give an explanation to the Great Prince’s concubine!”
“She’s dead, and her body is still at the inn,” the guard said. Then he looked at Qiao Heting with a cold gaze, “Mr. Qiao, why are you also in Yuanjiang County?”
