The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1315 - 1395: Assassination Attempt
Dong Huiying watched the guard leave and subtly curled her lips. Casting a sidelong glance into the utility room, though the light was dim, the cold, sharp, and deep gaze of the Prince Meng was fixed on her. Prince Meng looked at her expressionlessly. Dong Huiying raised her eyebrow slightly, glancing at the prince’s clenched fist. Tsk, it was bloody. She tossed a bottle into the room, which rolled a few times before stopping at Prince Meng’s feet. "The wound on your hand, Your Highness, should be treated."
With that, she gracefully walked away, pondering over something in her heart. This person... truly has an impressive level of endurance. As suspected, there was indeed something fishy; the Eighth Princess came to offer her birthday congratulations during the day, yet Prince Meng managed to endure through several hours without any sign of emotion. Besides, this Prince Meng Mansion is not entirely secure, who knows how many spies are hidden inside, otherwise, with Prince Meng’s condition, he wouldn’t have had to hide here to vent.
After Dong Huiying left, Prince Meng knitted her brows slightly. Her expression was heavy, and it was unclear what she was contemplating.
Upon returning to the side courtyard, just as Dong Huiying was about to go to bed, she suddenly saw Imperial Doctor Li rushing towards her.
"Hurry, hurry up!"
"What’s going on?" Dong Huiying was bewildered.
Imperial Doctor Li grabbed Dong Huiying and started running: "The prince is injured, someone just attempted an assassination on him, you need to come with me quickly!"
Dong Huiying was stunned, an assassination attempt? Not long ago, she had just seen the prince, could it have happened after she left?
Yet...
"You beast!"
Upon reaching the prince’s courtyard, she saw the prince’s entire arm covered in blood, drunkenly riding on top of a guard, punching him so hard that the guard’s nose and mouth bled.
Eh?
This guard looked somewhat familiar; it was the same one who had earlier asked if she had seen the prince.
"Dare to assassinate me, do you have a death wish!" Prince Meng was furious, her face ashen, her body covered in blood, and her right arm appeared to have a large gash cut by swords, with blood trickling down her sleeve, and her hands were already bruised and battered. Nevertheless, as she relentlessly punched the guard’s face, Dong Huiying’s lips twitched.
This person is indeed clever...
She had guessed it; whether this guard was truly an assassin was uncertain, but Prince Meng was definitely making use of this to cover up the injuries on her hands.
"Your Highness!" Doctor Li exclaimed, but Prince Meng seemed enraged to madness: "Damn it, dare to assassinate me? Watch how I won’t skin you alive; I will personally pull out those lazy bones of yours one by one!" Drunkenly shouting sinister words, Imperial Doctor Li had already rushed forward, and together with the Butler, they supported Prince Meng from both sides.
"Quick, bring some hot water!" The two took Prince Meng back inside, while instructing the servants. As for the guard implicated in the assassination attempt, the Butler had him locked up.
Dong Huiying followed everyone inside, where she saw Prince Meng sitting on a Taishi chair, cursing incessantly with all sorts of venomous words, while Imperial Doctor Li cut open the prince’s sleeve with a pair of scissors.
"This wound is too deep!" Not paying much attention to the small injuries on the hands, focusing on the stab wound on the prince’s arm, Imperial Doctor Li’s face was quite grim.
"Hey, be gentle, it hurts!" Prince Meng, appearing afraid of pain, seemed to have forgotten to keep cursing. Likely because Imperial Doctor Li really had hurt her, she kicked him away: "You, come over here!"
She pointed imperiously at Dong Huiying, "You nun know medical skills? Help this prince at once, if you dare to hurt me, don’t blame this prince for taking your head off!"
