Who put the yellow robe on me?

Chapter 31 Even if you are far away, you will be killed

After Jiang Chen and Dian Zhang sent Zhong Xiaodan to the general's residence, everyone in the Zhong residence was in chaos when they saw Zhong Xiaodan covered in blood.

The noise in the mansion never stopped for a moment. Maids and servants ran back and forth in the yard, filled with anxious shouts and busy footsteps.

Zhong Xiaodan was carried into the inner room. Mrs. Zhong held his hand tightly, tears streaming down her face.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of herbs, which was nauseating.

After a round of examination, the doctor in the palace came out of the inner room, sweating profusely. He looked solemn and invited Mrs. Zhong outside and said:

"Madam, my ability is limited. I can only stop the bleeding temporarily. Let's see if I can contact the imperial physician in the palace."

Nanny Zhang said anxiously, "Madam, the imperial badge that allows the imperial physician to be mobilized... has been taken away by the master."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhong's expression suddenly changed. She forced herself to suppress the disappointment in her eyes. "Master... Master hasn't come back yet? Have the captain of the guards go and call him again! Quick! Go quickly!!"

Steward Wang came running over, his face pale. "Madam, the master is at the Prime Minister's residence. We've sent someone to call him, but he hasn't returned yet."

Mrs. Zhong almost lost her strength to support herself, her voice trembling, "Without the badge, there's no way to invite the imperial physician! Don't panic, let me think about it!"

Nanny Zhang asked, "Madam, if we can bring the master's imperial sword to the palace, can we summon the imperial physician?"

Mrs. Zhong was on the verge of despair: "No, the imperial physician will not come!"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen stepped forward quickly: "Mrs. Zhong, I..."

Mrs. Zhong turned around, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Your Highness the Sixteenth, thank you for sending my son here. I apologize for the poor hospitality. Please take a moment to rest!"

Then, she yelled at Butler Wang again, "Send a guard to get the master's badge back first! Quick!"

Jiang Chen took off the imperial envoy's gold medal and handed it to Madam Zhong: "Madam Zhong, please use this imperial medal to invite the imperial physician first."

Mrs. Zhong was stunned for a moment, then a trace of gratitude and joy flashed in her eyes. She immediately took the gold medal and hurriedly said to the captain of the guards, "Quick! Captain, go to the palace to call the imperial physician! Go quickly!"

Jiang Chen winked at Dian Zhang and said, "Deputy General Dian, come with me and see if there's anything I can do to help!"

The captain of the guards received the order and rushed away with Dianzhang.

Mrs. Zhong took a deep breath, turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Thank you, Your Highness... Thank you so much..."

General Zhong Wenbin hurried back and was heartbroken when he saw the scene in the inner room.

He walked quickly to Mrs. Zhong, who hit him hard a few times: "You old man, why did you come just now? Your son will probably be..." Then she told General Zhong everything that had happened.

General Zhong held her hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Madam, don't worry, Shan'er will definitely get better."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dianzhang rushed back with the chief guard and Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang quickly checked Zhong Xiaodan's injuries and immediately began treatment.

His movements were quick and precise, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

"Tell the General and his wife that the Second Young Master's life is saved." Doctor Zhang finished his acupuncture and sighed, "The Second Young Master is very lucky! If I had come a stick of incense later, even a god would have been unable to cure him."

Mrs. Zhong finally felt relieved and burst into tears as she leaned on General Zhong.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

No matter how outstanding a woman is, she has a fragile side.

At this moment, the Thirteenth Princess Jiang Sirou and He Xiaowei also hurried to the general's mansion, and Jiang Sirou rushed into the inner room like crazy.

Jiang Chen grabbed He Xiaowei and asked, "Why are you here too?"

He Xiaowei replied, "General Zhong was a guest at the Prime Minister's residence, but was hurriedly called away, saying that the Second Young Master was seriously injured."

"I immediately went to the palace to inform Sister Rou, and then I rushed over."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Sister Thirteen is very affectionate, I'm afraid you have to accompany her well this time."

Seeing Zhong Xiaodan lying on the bed with injuries all over his body, her tears instantly burst out and she fainted from crying.

He Xiaowei quickly helped Jiang Sirou to the guest room and comforted her softly.

After General Zhong saw that Zhong Xiaodan was calm, he invited Jiang Chen to his study.

After arriving at the study, General Zhong excitedly wanted to kneel down to thank Jiang Chen, but was pulled up by Jiang Chen.

General Zhong choked up and said, "If it weren't for His Highness the Sixteenth, my son would have been in great danger this time. I owe you a huge favor!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "General, there's no need to be so polite. Second Young Master Zhong and Thirteenth Sister have a very good relationship. Saving Second Young Master Zhong is my responsibility."

"Before he was injured, the Second Young Master said they would use poison to deal with more than just him. I wonder what that meant?"

General Zhong snorted coldly, clenching his fists. "If they hadn't used poison, they might not have been able to hurt Shan'er with his abilities. Do you know who did it?"

Jiang Chen described the three men's figures and appearances, and also described their clothes and weapons.

Upon hearing this, General Zhong flew into a rage and exclaimed, "They are indeed from the Western Regions! Half a month ago, there were unusual movements in the city defenses of the Western Regions, and His Majesty transferred half of the soldiers from the Southern Chu border here."

"Dan'er is very vigilant and generally doesn't get poisoned that easily, unless..."

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and he added: "Unless there is a traitor."

General Zhong's eyes blazed with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If there is a traitor, even if it means a bloody battle, we must find him!"

Jiang Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "General Zhong, who will benefit if the Second Young Master is killed?"

General Zhong pondered for a moment and said coldly, "If our Zhong family encounters an accident, the generals of the four families in the southeast, northwest, and northeast will definitely benefit."

"General Yun Tongxin of Zhendong is the fifth prince's uncle, General Mi Chunhong of Zhenxi is the sixth prince's third maternal grandfather, General Su Yunliang of Zhennan is the ninth prince's aunt's cousin, and General Liang Shengnan of Zhenbei's mother was the twelfth prince's childhood wet nurse."

"As long as I'm still here, I don't think any general would dare to make a move on the Zhong family!"

Jiang Chen's heart trembled, and he thought to himself, "It seems that this incident is closely related to the party struggle."

General Zhong then said, "But he's not the only one we have to deal with. We'll only know what this means when Shan'er wakes up."

Jiang Chen nodded: "General, what are your plans for the future?"

General Zhong's eyes flickered with the fire of revenge, and he said in a deep voice, "Blood debt must be repaid with blood! Da Lu'er is still fighting with the Northern Qiang and cannot withdraw."

"Your Majesty is currently planning a Western Expedition. This time, I will personally participate. I will make them pay double for the blood that Xiao Dan shed!"

Jiang Chen's eyes were firm: "General Zhong, don't worry, I will fully support you and work together to seek justice for the Second Young Master Zhong."

"Whoever offends Daliang will be punished, no matter how far away he is!"
