Chapter 1696: Self-torture or Life-threatening Scheme
Huo Changxu was speechless.
He pondered for a moment, recalling the situation at that time, trying to confirm whether what Song Ping said was right.
Before I could figure out what was going on, Yan Ruyu showed up.
"Sister-in-law, how is the situation?"
Yan Ruyu's eyes deepened: "It was indeed almost life-threatening, and his life was hanging by a thread."
Huo Changxu's face turned pale.
"The arrow has been taken out, don't worry."
Huo Changxu exhaled again: "That's good."
"Changxu, go back and rest first and change your clothes. I'm here."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Yan Ruyu glanced at Song Ping and motioned him to go with Huo Changxu.
Seeing them go away, Yan Ruyu returned to the backyard of the clinic.
Two secret guards were already waiting there.
"what happened?"
The secret guard reported truthfully: "Princess, the second young master and Yu Qingyue have been to the academy frequently these past two days. Today, they borrowed some books and were on their way back when two assassins suddenly appeared. I fought them and they were indeed quite skilled, but after a dozen moves, they were at a disadvantage."
"I saw that the Second Young Master was also on guard against Qingyue at that time, and Qingyue was not good at martial arts, so I focused on dealing with the assassin."
The secret guard bowed his head and said: "I was careless for a moment and caused the Second Young Master to be nearly injured. Please punish me, Princess."
Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "The opponent is scheming, this can't be entirely blamed on you."
"In your opinion, did Yu Qingyue know about this assassination attempt?"
The two secret guards looked at each other and instantly understood what Yan Ruyu meant.
"Yu Qingyue seemed quite shocked at the time. When she saved the Second Young Master, the situation was indeed critical. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid..."
Yan Ruyu nodded slowly: "Where are the two assassins?"
"One of them ran away. I saw that the second young master was in danger, so I let him escape. The other one was caught and tied up and thrown over there."
The secret guard pointed to the corner of the clinic's back door.
"Go and see."
The assassin was in his thirties, strong and with a bad look in his eyes.
When he saw Yan Ruyu, his expression did not change and he continued to stare at her fiercely.
Yan Ruyu guessed that this person didn't know her identity.
Then, it is possible that he is not from Yu Qingyue's group.
Yu Qingyue is a spy, or her accomplice, and he must have found out everything about everyone in the palace first.
Yan Ruyu understood: "He is a hired killer. Judging from his vicious appearance, he must be a desperate criminal. Break his four legs, sever his tendons, blind his eyes, and hand him over to the government for a brief interrogation. If he doesn't say anything, just kill him and leave it at that."
The secret guard picked up the man and left without saying a word.
The assassin was stunned. He never expected that this beautiful woman could speak so horribly without blinking.
Yan Ruyu turned and walked away without looking at him a second time.
The assassin said anxiously: "You...wait a moment."
Yan Ruyu kept walking, and the secret guards didn't stop either.
The assassin was so anxious that he shouted, "How can you be so cruel, woman? You want to cut off people's limbs and blind their eyes at will. You... I have never seen anyone like you."
Yan Ruyu ignored him and the secret guard slapped him in the face: "You almost killed our Second Young Master, and you still have the nerve to say that."
"You can kill people, but others can't touch you?"
"I am indeed employed by someone. How about we make a deal? I'll tell you who he is and you let me go."
Yan Ruyu said nothing and continued walking forward.
The assassin was really anxious: "I know that person is waiting. If you go now, you should be able to catch him."
Yan Ruyu turned through the Moon Gate and stopped.
The secret guard didn't waste any time and directly broke the assassin's arm.
The sound of breaking bones and screaming mixed together was really not pleasant to hear.
Another secret guard came to Yan Ruyu's side, and the two waited in silence.
"No, no, I'll tell you everything I know. It's not a deal. Please spare my life."
As soon as he finished speaking, his bone broke again.
The assassin howled in pain, and the secret guard spoke slowly: "Speak."
"He... He lives in the courtyard at the end of the alley next to Lanxing Pavilion. He is fair-skinned, has a mustache, and is a lecher."
"He is good at using hidden weapons, but his other skills are average, and he is generous with his moves."
The secret guard beside Yan Ruyu nodded and was about to leave immediately. Yan Ruyu handed him a few pills.
"The fog potion can be exploded. Be careful of him using hidden weapons."
"Yes."
The secret guard turned and left.
On the other side of the Moon Gate, the secret guards paused and the assassin was able to catch his breath.
Breaking bones is a lesson and also the price of hurting Huo Changxu, but blinding his eyes is not necessary, after all, he will have to recognize people later.
It was just to scare him.
When we returned to the temporary ward, Yu Qingyue was still not awake.
The Sun family father and son were taking notes on the small table, putting the surgery into writing.
Yan Ruyu did not stop them - although there was really no point in organizing these things, they were also obsessed with and passionate about medicine.
She still admires Dr. Sun's spirit, that is, he opened a clinic for patients, not just for making money.
Seeing Yan Ruyu come in, the father and son quickly stood up.
"princess."
"It's okay, just remember," Yan Ruyu looked at the bed.
"She hasn't woken up yet," Doctor Sun whispered, "With such a serious injury, I don't think she will wake up for a while."
"Let her stay with us for now. If she is moved away, it might be bad for her wound. Don't worry, Princess. I will take good care of her."
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "No need. I'll send someone to carry her away later."
"It's not that I don't trust you, but things are a little complicated, and I'm considering your safety."
Yu Qingyue is a spy, so this matter cannot be told, but the Sun family cannot be involved either.
She had to be carried away, and in front of many people, before the Sun family could be left behind.
Doctor Sun knew that she had plans, so he didn't say anything more.
Yan Ruyu checked Yu Qingyue's temperature and found that she didn't have a fever.
She frowned tightly, never relaxing for a moment, and called Huo Changxu's name twice during the operation.
Yan Ruyu looked at her expressionlessly - what exactly happened this time? Why did Yu Qingyue suddenly go to save Huo Changxu again?
The self-torture tactic doesn't work like this. It's equivalent to a life-threatening tactic. If you're not careful, you'll get sick. To put it bluntly, if I hadn't met her, I would have died a long time ago.
Just as I was thinking about it, Song Ping came again.
"Princess, the second young master has arrived home safely. The first lady has also reported that everything is fine."
"Have you brought anyone here?"
"Bring it."
"Carry her back."
"……Yes."
Song Ping ordered his men to come in and carry Yu Qingyue back to the palace on a stretcher.
"Princess, will she really save the Second Young Master?"
"It's still unknown," Yan Ruyu shook her head. "Wait until she wakes up and ask her. Also, we've already caught the person who hired the murderer."
"Go back to the mansion and prepare the yard. Put the assassin and the captured mastermind in the same yard, but in different rooms."
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu had just returned to the palace and was about to meet the eldest lady when the space shook.
She turned around and went back to the hospital to answer the call.
Before he could open his mouth, he heard the abbot's anxious voice.
"Ruyu, something big has happened this time!"
