Xie Liangcheng covered his shoulder with his hands and looked very bad. Wei An saw that his expression was different from usual and knew that his injury was probably serious. He couldn't help but ask him: "Is the injury serious? Do you want to ask the old doctor to take a look first?"
The situation must have been very dangerous at that time, otherwise with Xie Liangcheng's skills, he should have been able to avoid it.
Xie Liangcheng shook his head: "He can still hold on. When the people around him found out that I was grinding mirrors, they went out to ask the neighbors and the people across the street. After they confirmed that I had indeed helped them grind mirrors, they came back and told Doctor Shi something. They knew that I was a craftsman and there would be no danger, but they still wanted to silence me..."
The situation at that time was really critical. If the hairpin bought by Doctor Shi's wife had not arrived and someone had not knocked on the door, he might have died on the spot.
After being interrupted by those merchants, Doctor Shi finally reacted and hurriedly begged those people not to do it. He pulled them inside, and then after a full incense stick of time, he came back and tried to persuade them kindly, saying that it was all a misunderstanding and that his brother was too impatient and thought that it was an enemy who came to seek revenge.
Then he gave him two taels of silver and sent him away.
Xie Liangcheng behaved just like a frightened craftsman who had never seen the world. He was so frightened that he was stunned on the spot. He couldn't even finish his words and stammered "yes".
After he left the house, he did not dare to go back to Phoenix Terrace directly, nor did he dare to look for anyone. Instead, he first went to several households in the streets and asked them if they wanted their mirrors polished. Then, after it was completely dark, he went to the places where the poor gathered.
He briefly told Wei An the whole process, frowning and worried: "An An, I tell you the truth, the opponent we met this time is probably not an easy one to deal with. The other party is so careful to plot against a child. It seems that they are not really targeting Bao Ge'er himself. It is more likely that they are here to deal with you. I found a family and knocked on the door to go in. I gave them ten taels of silver and asked them to keep me for a while. After about half an hour, someone knocked on the door. When they saw that it was me who opened the door, they said they knocked on the wrong door and left. I think these people are meticulous and vicious. They are not the kind of people that ordinary people can bring up."
Wei An already knew what was going on. She hummed, her face still calm, but the coldness in her eyes slowly turned into ice: "They are coming for me."
Xie Liangcheng was silent for a moment, then asked her: "In your opinion, who would do this, the princess... or the Xu family?"
Wei An shook his head: "I don't know yet. Both sides are possible. The princess has always wanted me dead, and the Xu family just made enemies. Although Xu Anying is a tolerant person, it is his son who got into trouble after all. I'm afraid it's wrong to say that he has no resentment towards me. I can't draw a conclusion now..."
It is too early to draw a conclusion, but a solution must be considered. Xie Liangcheng asked her, "What are your plans now? Bao Ge'er's illness was probably caused by Doctor Shi. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. We should let Doctor Shi explain clearly what he did to Bao Ge'er. After all, the child is still young. If he continues to be ill, what will happen in the future?"
Wei An was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid that it would affect Bao Ge'er's health. This was not something that could be delayed. Seeing that Xie Liangcheng seemed to have something to say, she asked him, "Brother, what do you think we should do?"
"Let's ask the prince first." Xie Liangcheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, with some subtle worry: "Tell the prince first... As for the princess, she has a lot of misunderstandings about you right now. If she knew that those people framed Bao Ge'er to deal with you, she would probably resent you even more. It's better not to tell her yet."
Wei An also felt that he should inform King Zheng first. Bao Ge'er was his legitimate son. No matter whether he was a god or a demon, he should know it first. She nodded, went out and told Yu Qing, and then said to Xie Liangcheng: "Since they saw you when they knocked on the door at the end, they must have no doubts..."
Xie Liangcheng also nodded: "I think so too. I have done it very covertly. They have no reason to suspect me. I think they will follow their original plan next. Judging from the princess's attitude towards you, because Bao Ge'er's illness is getting worse... ... I guess they will continue to target Bao Ge'er."
Needless to say, now that things have developed to this point, you don't need to think about what those people's purpose is. They simply want to use Bao Ge'er's illness to sow discord between Prince Zheng and Princess Zheng on the one hand, and Shen Chen on the other.
No matter what the reason was, it was too bad to attack a baby still in swaddling clothes. Wei An looked cold, pursed his lips and said in a cold voice: "Now that I think about it, Doctor Shi seems to be quite sensible. In a few days, Bao Ge'er's illness will be more serious..."
If she hadn't noticed it, then according to Doctor Shi's plan, would they have just killed Bao Ge'er? !
What on earth are these people made of?! The children were powerless to fight back, yet they could be so cruel. What’s the difference between them and animals when they attack children
If it was done by Princess Linjiang, then needless to say, such a person is extremely bad, and there is no need to hope that she will change for the better in the future. Every time she does something, it is more vicious and excessive than the last time, and she has no idea of restraint.
And if it was done by the Xu family, then there is nothing to say. If Xu Anying is really a person who can be so cruel to a young child, then can we still expect him to do things for the people of the world
She sneered slowly, looked at Xie Liangcheng and said: "If that's what you said, then pretend you know nothing and see what Doctor Shi wants to do next..."
As soon as she finished speaking, King Zheng's voice rang out from outside: "An An, I heard you were looking for me? Is there something going on?"
Prince Zheng had just come over after visiting Bao Ge'er, and said with a tired look on his face: "The emperor asked me to get the royal mausoleum done as soon as possible..."
Now the family is in such a mess and the child is so seriously ill, how can he feel at ease to repair the imperial mausoleum
Wei An saw that his face was getting worse and worse, and knew that he was worried about Bao Ge'er's affairs. Thinking of how people like Doctor Shi were trying hard to use Bao Ge'er's affairs to gain benefits, he became even more angry and whispered everything to King Zheng.
King Zheng did not react for a moment, and did not know what Wei An meant. When he realized that Bao Ge'er's illness was not a disease at all, but was caused by Doctor Shi, he could not help but be shocked. After a long while, he finally reacted and asked Wei An: "Really?!" (To be continued)
