After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Chapter 269: If you fail in your duty on one day, you will be killed!

"Ask Lord Ding yourself."

Zhu San pushed the door open, and Ding Zhen, who was waiting in the yard, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and walked in tremblingly.

The prince's brows were cold, "What happened?"

"Yes......"

Ding Zhen lowered his head, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "It's Master Xu, Master Xu..."

He was terrified and stammered for a long time without speaking clearly.

The prince's heart sank and he leaned forward, "How is Lord Xu?"

"Lord Xu was rescued by someone."

Ding Zhen's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

The prince narrowed his eyes and his tone suddenly became cold and stern, "Who rescued him?"

"It was the Duke of Zhen, the Duke of Zhen's granddaughter Bai Youyou, and the Prince of Xian who worked together to rescue her."

Ding Zhen's voice was trembling, and if you had poor hearing, you wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying.

"That sickly guy?"

The prince's cheek muscles tensed, "Can those things be used by Lord Xu?"

Ding Zhen's lips turned pale and he quickly shook his head, "Not yet."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince and Marquis Yong'an both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yong'an Hou frowned and glared at him coldly with his tiger eyes. "It's just to ask someone to rescue him. Why are you so scared?"

"It was Lin Qiang. He, he injured Bai Youyou with his hidden arrow. The old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion came to pick him up personally."

In just a moment, the clothes on Ding Zhen's back were all wet with sweat.

The prince's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up quickly, "Is anyone okay?"

Ding Zhen kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. "The person has been taken back by the people from the Zhenguo Mansion. Madam Lu asked someone to invite Doctor Pang. After that, I don't know anything."

Yong'an Hou stood up and kicked Ding Zhen in the heart, saying angrily: "Useless, you can't even handle such a small matter, what's the use of you!"

"It's all Lin Qiang's fault. He drank too much while on duty and made mistakes. I only found out about it afterwards. I beg Your Highness to forgive me!"

Ding Zhen fell to the ground, but regardless of the pain in his heart, he immediately got up and knelt on the ground, banging his head against the ground.

Yong'an Marquis raised his eyes and looked at the Crown Prince, "How do you plan to deal with this matter, Your Highness?"

Just when he had received some good news, trouble occurred again. The prince gritted his teeth, and his handsome brows were filled with frost.

"What else can I do?" He gritted his teeth, "If I fail in my duty for one day, I will die!"

Today we invited Lord Xu to a dinner, but he left halfway on the pretext of having something to do, and the rest was done by Ding Zhen.

Now, he could only insist that this matter had nothing to do with him before the incident in Quzhou broke out, in order to stabilize the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

As long as we get rid of General Yongwei's Mansion and kill the third brother, even the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion will not be a problem to fear!

Upon hearing this, Ding Zhen collapsed to the ground, his body shaking like a sieve.

Yong'an Hou glanced at him with disdain, "If Bai Youyou is not in danger of death, the most you will do is be dismissed and investigated and lose your official hat. If that little girl is short-lived, you will be derelict in your duty and die unjustly!"

"Now go and clean up all the things that shouldn't be in the villa. When you are done, I will not treat you badly."

Ding Zhen had done a lot for him and knew a lot of secrets, so for now he could only give him a reassurance, otherwise he might reveal something.

Hearing the prince say this, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Ding Zhen's terrified and desperate eyes.

"Just wait. When His Highness ascends the throne, all of you will have served as His Highness's followers. His Highness will not treat you unfairly." Yong'an Marquis snorted contemptuously, "It's just a Zhenguo Mansion, but you are scared to death!"

If nothing had happened before, Marquis Yong'an would not have been so confident in saying this. As long as the evidence of the Quzhou incident is solid and the Third Prince's party is completely overthrown, who in the court and the country can be the opponent of the Crown Prince?

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is already feared by the current emperor. As long as the military power in General Yongwei's hands falls into the hands of the crown prince, and he plans to eliminate the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it is not impossible for him to even overthrow the throne and start a rebellion!

Ding Zhen had been frightened by these things and had lost his mind before, but now, after hearing what the Crown Prince and Marquis Yong'an said, his mood slowly calmed down.

The sleeve arrow wounded the patient's shoulder blade. With Doctor Pang's medical skills, he would definitely be able to save the patient from the brink of death.

As long as the person is not dead, at most he is considered to be lax in controlling his subordinates. Then he can hand Lin Qiang over, and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion cannot take his life.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and take care of the rest," Yong'an Hou glanced at him with disdain and waved his hand at him, "You will be rich and prosperous in the future!"

Ding Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up with his hands on the ground.

After he left, the prince's expression suddenly turned cold and stern, "Zhu San, send someone to the Zhenguo Mansion to keep an eye on the news. Also, regarding the matter of the villa, go and deal with those who need to be dealt with!"

Zhu San understood who the person who needed to be dealt with was and immediately took the order and retreated.

It was already dark, and outside the house was covered with silvery white frost.

At the Zhenguo Mansion, Doctor Pang frowned as he looked at the wound on Bai Yaoyao's shoulder blade. "The arrowhead of this sleeve arrow is embedded in the bone. If it is forcibly pulled out, this left arm will be crippled."

Everyone in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion felt their hearts stagnate and looked at Doctor Pang worriedly.

Lu cried so much that she almost fainted, and leaned weakly in Cuizhu's arms.

Xiaoju's tears fell down and she looked at Bai Youyou on the bed nervously.

The old lady calmed herself down and asked in a trembling voice, "Is there any way to save her arm?"

Doctor Pang nodded slightly, "Yes, there is, but you will have to suffer a lot."

"What's the solution?"

Doctor Pang looked heavy-hearted. He paused and said, "It cannot be pulled out forcefully. We can only dig it out bit by bit."

"dig it out!"

Lu Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

He had been to the frontier before and had seen how the doctors in the army treated arrow wounds. Pulling it out would be extremely painful, and if it was dug out bit by bit with a long knife, he could not imagine the pain that would be worse than death!

"This is the only way to save her left arm." Doctor Pang looked at Madam Lu, "We need to make a decision as soon as possible. Any delay will increase the danger!"

The old lady's eyes fell on Bai Youyou's pale face and she clenched her fists.

It is better to suffer for a while than to suffer for a lifetime. The old lady turned her back, gritted her teeth, and said with determination: "Dig!"

Everyone's lips were pursed until they turned pale, and Lu's cries echoed in the room.

"Everyone, go out and don't disturb Doctor Pang!"

The old lady gave the order, and Nanny Jiang supported her trembling wrist, and the two of them retreated first.

Lu's limp body was supported by Cuizhu and Nanny Yang, while Sun and the others followed closely behind.

Lu Chen stood in the room with his lips pursed. Doctor Pang looked up at him and said, "Go light a few more oil lamps and prepare a jar of strong liquor and clean linen. The linen needs to be scalded with hot water and then dried with charcoal fire."
