A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

Gu Yanchi kicked the last assassin away.

"boom!"

The assassin fell to the ground, blood flowing from his mouth.

"Arrest him and subject him to severe torture."

Gu Yanchi gave the instructions.

The assassin was captured by the guards.

"Haha... Don't even think about interrogating me."

The assassin burst into wild laughter, then coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he was lifeless.

He actually committed suicide by poisoning himself.

Bai Luoluo was somewhat surprised; the scenes were just like those in a TV drama.

"Check the assassin on the ground to see if he has poison hidden in his mouth."

"The assassin who was drugged by Bai Luoluo is still alive," Bai Luoluo quickly said.

"Luo'er, they will handle these matters. I will take you back to the manor to heal your wounds."

Gu Yanchi picked up Bai Luoluo, paused for a moment, and then instantly left the place.

She hugged Gu Yanchi's neck and slowly closed her eyes.

Due to her injuries, Bai Luoluo finally fainted.

"Luo'er..."

Gu Yanchi was terrified and went straight to his own bedroom in the Prince's mansion.

"Someone, quickly go and fetch Doctor Qian."

He placed Bai Luoluo directly on the bed and ordered someone to fetch warm water.

At this moment, Dr. Qian walked in carrying his medicine box.

"This old servant greets Your Highness."

Doctor Qian bowed slightly to Gu Yanchi.

Gu Yanchi stepped forward and pulled him up, "Quickly check how badly the Princess Consort is injured!"

"Yes."

Doctor Qian stepped forward, lifted Bai Luoluo's eyelids to take a look, and then took her pulse.

"How about it?"

Gu Yanchi looked at Bai Luoluo's pale face with great anxiety.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort's shoulder wound is quite severe, and excessive blood loss has caused her to fall into a coma."

Dr. Qian told the truth.

"Stop the bleeding for the princess."

Gu Yanchi looked at Bai Luoluo's shoulder, which was still bleeding, and cursed himself inwardly.

It was getting dark, and he didn't even notice the wound on his shoulder.

"The princess is, after all, a woman; this old servant cannot touch her."

Dr. Qian was somewhat embarrassed; how could he dare to disrespect someone of such high status?

Gu Yanchi glanced at Bai Luoluo's clothes and immediately understood.

"Put the things down and go down to brew the medicine."

"Yes."

Dr. Qian put down all the medicine he had prescribed.

Xiao Tao was so frightened by the bumpy ride that she fainted.

However, the Prince of Xiling's mansion had no maids.

Gu Yanchi disliked being served by women, and he hadn't returned to the palace in recent years. All the people in the palace were people he had brought back from the border.

They're all trusted confidants, our own people.

Gu Yanchi lingered on the edge of the bed for a moment, then reached back to pull at his belt.

She slowly took off her outer clothes, revealing numerous wounds of varying sizes all over her body.

The most serious injury was to the spot where he was struck; it was a bloody mess, covered in blood.

He felt heartbroken and carefully cleaned Bai Luoluo's wounds, wiping away the medicine left by Doctor Qian.

Each touch was very light and careful, as if afraid of hurting the unconscious person even a little.

Bai Luoluo frowned slightly, perhaps because she was in some pain.

Gu Yanchi reached out and gently smoothed her brow, and it took him quite some time to finish everything.

I helped her cover herself with the blanket, and then Dr. Qian brought over the medicine.

Gu Yanchi fed her little by little with a small spoon, but Bai Luoluo refused to swallow, perhaps because it was too bitter.

After several attempts, Gu Yanchi was at a loss.

In this situation, not taking medicine is definitely not an option.

He glanced at the medicine in his hand, tilted his head back and drank it, then lowered his head to kiss Bai Luoluo's pale lips, slowly feeding her the medicine.

A moment later, Gu Yanchi wiped Bai Luoluo's lips, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"You can punish me however you want when you get up. I apologize for the offense."

After speaking in a low voice, Gu Yanchi strode out.

"Guard this place well, I'll be right back."

"Yes."

At the General's Mansion, Zhang Yuyao's eyes held a smile because Bai Luoluo hadn't returned home that night.

"As expected of a shameless hussy, she'll spend the night at the Prince's mansion."

“Mother is right. If we can’t wait to climb into the bed of the Prince of Xiling, the capital will be quite a scene tomorrow.”

Bai Qianqian's eyes held a look of disdain.

She lost her innocence, and that bitch Bai Luoluo is no less despicable.

"What does Qianqian mean? Should we send someone to spread this word?"

“Mother is right. My innocence is gone. This slut doesn’t come home at night. We must make sure everyone knows about this.”

Bai Luoluo already had a bad reputation, and with a little publicity from her, she would never be able to hold her head up again.

"Qianqian is right. I will have the steward handle this matter."

Zhang Yuyao thought this idea was excellent.

"Ah."

...........

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Xiling requests an audience."

At this moment, a eunuch outside the palace reported in a low voice.

The emperor, who had already retired for the night, was slightly displeased upon hearing the noise.

Why can't we talk about this tomorrow? Why do we have to disturb his rest so late at night?

But he still got up and sat up.

"Announce him to come in."

Gu Yanchi pushed open the door and entered the bedchamber, where he saw the Emperor sitting on the dragon bed, dressed in a bright yellow nightgown.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

He bowed slightly.

"There's something you can't say tomorrow, why do you insist on seeing me so late?"

The Emperor's tone was quite displeased, and he looked at Gu Yanchi with a hint of annoyance.

"The situation is urgent, and I have no choice but to come and report."

Gu Yanchi showed no fear whatsoever, and stood up straight to face the Emperor.

"Tell me what it is."

"General Bai Hao's daughter, Bai Luoluo, was attacked tonight and is still unconscious with serious injuries. Your son has brought her back to the palace."

Gu Yanchi's tone was quite cold; he was very worried about Bai Luoluo.

Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately got up from his bed.

"What did you say?"

The emperor was instantly enraged.

Bai Hao's identity is special, and he asked him to take care of him before leaving. If he were killed by an assassin, how could he explain it to Bai Hao?

After all, she was Zhang Yuxue's daughter, which meant a great deal to Bai Hao, a fact that the Emperor was well aware of.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to issue an edict to thoroughly investigate this matter. After all, there is no one who would dare to assassinate someone right under the emperor's nose, which shows that they have rebellious intentions. Your Majesty must also know that Bai Luoluo has a special identity. It seems that someone does not want your son to marry Bai Hao's daughter."

Gu Yanchi's tone carried a hint of murderous intent, because he knew who it was.

Aside from the Empress and the Third Prince, it's hard to find a third person.

The Emperor seemed to be deep in thought, for Gu Yanchi's words were all reasonable.

The political landscape may shift rapidly, but the very foundation of the nation must remain unshaken.

If Bai Luoluo really dies, Bai Hao would be heartbroken and wouldn't be as bad as doing anything.

At that time, who will fight for him and become his trusted advisor?

He trusted only Bai Hao. Bai Hao reciprocated his youthful feelings, the kindness of their meeting, and the brotherhood, and made great contributions to his conquests.

Bai Hao only truly cared about two people: Zhang Yuxue, who had already been laid to rest, and Bai Luoluo.

"I will issue an order to thoroughly investigate this matter. As for Bai Luoluo, she needs to be taken good care of. I will send an imperial physician over."

After much deliberation, the Emperor decided to conduct a thorough investigation.

The main concern is that this matter may conceal a plot to rebel, and the emperor is not foolish.

"There are sounds of fighting in the streets. I don't understand what the Censorate is doing."

Gu Yanchi's voice clearly carried a questioning tone, as the Censorate had always been in charge of maintaining order in the capital.
