Bu Shulin didn't know where she got the strength from. She pushed through the crowd with a pale face and ran towards Cui Jinbai. She knocked him down just before the dart pierced Cui Jinbai's back. Cui Jinbai held her and fell down together, knocking over many people.
The people lying in ambush in the crowd pushed aside the jostling crowd and wanted to shoot more arrows. Fortunately, Mo Yu finally squeezed through the crowd and rushed over. She first knocked one person out from behind, and then quickly captured the other hidden attackers. When the attackers saw this, and then saw Bu Shulin falling in Cui Jinbai's arms, covered in blood, they quickly began to retreat.
"You..." Cui Jinbai looked at Bu Shulin, whose face was as pale as paper, his eyes panicked and full of fear. He picked her up with trembling hands, but it was too difficult to squeeze out due to the crowds of people coming and going. Mo Yu quickly arrived in front of them, forcefully cleared the way for them, and brought them out as quickly as possible. At this time, Shen Xihe had already sent Zhenzhu and Sui Axi to meet them.
The two examined Bu Shulin's pulse, and then Ah Xi used acupuncture to stop the bleeding, while Zhenzhu bandaged the wound with medicine: "The dart cannot be pulled out for now. It has injured the blood vessels. If you pull out the knife, the blood will bleed profusely. We need to find a quiet place."
After giving the instructions, they took Bu Shulin to the East Building. Shen Xihe had already had the East Building decorated, with a couch put together and a screen requested. He also asked Hongyu to go to the kitchen to boil some hot water and prepare the medicines that would be used.
"Mr. Cui, neither you nor I know medicine. Please stay outside and don't delay the treatment of Ah Xi and Zhenzhu. My maids all know some medical knowledge and have a tacit understanding with Zhenzhu." Shen Xihe said after Cui Jinbai put Bu Shulin down.
Cui Jinbai was reluctant to leave. Zhenzhu knew that Bu Shulin was a girl, which was Bu Shulin's biggest weakness. Whether to tell Cui Jinbai was up to Bu Shulin himself. If they could help conceal it, they would of course help. She then glanced at Sui Axi.
"Mr. Cui, I need fewer people around when I give acupuncture, otherwise it will be distracted." Sui Axi reminded gently.
Cui Jia took a deep look at Bu Shulin who had already fainted, and retreated behind the screen without saying a word.
Shen Xihe followed outside and glanced at the bloodstains on his body: "Shaoqing Cui, now that something like this has happened, His Majesty will definitely summon you to the Dali Temple. Shaoqing Cui, why don't you go back home and change your clothes to avoid offending His Majesty? I'll take care of Prince Bu, you can rest assured."
Cui Jinbai's mind was blank at the moment. He didn't know why he couldn't help but follow her when he saw her walking alone with a bottle of wine and looking bored. He couldn't help but rush forward when he saw him being attacked. With his upbringing and responsibilities, he should have found a way to appease the people, but he pushed the innocent people away and ran towards Bu Shulin who was fighting with the criminals.
Seeing her fall down while trying to block the hidden weapon for him, he wondered for a moment if he hadn't rushed over, she might not have been injured so badly
Shen Xihe told him that the emperor would summon him and asked him to pay attention to his manners.
He knew that what Shen Xihe said was right, but he couldn't move. She had lost so much blood, and the hidden weapon had injured her blood vessels. If...
He really didn't dare to think too deeply. At this moment, all his responsibilities and royal orders were thrown out of his mind. He just wanted to know if she was okay.
"Mr. Cui, if you had not personally participated in this matter, I'm afraid that Master Bu would have suffered this injury in vain." Shen Xihe changed his excuse.
