Chapter 514: Chapter 513: The Imperial Family is truly heartless..._1

The burly man was still shouting, "Let’s just finish them off and take their big ship. I’ve had my eye on that ship for a while, it’s quite a splendid one..."

Once everyone else had left, the man in the white robe kept the lean old man behind.

He squinted his eyes, covering his mouth to cough several times, "Tell me! How bad is my injury, is it serious?"

The old man kept his head bowed, after a long silence, he sighed lightly, "Lord, I’m powerless to heal this injury. I can only stabilize your condition for the time being. After we get back to Shengjing, Your Grace, you can seek out other skilled doctors. There are chances of recovery."

After saying that, he dared not lift his head, maintaining the same respectful posture.

"So, you’re saying that this injury is very serious?"

The man in the white robe tried to suppress his coughing, after a long time, he took a labored breath and squinted his eyes, "Mr. Jiang, who do you think is the most skilled Imperial Physician in Shengjing?"

The old man dwelled upon the question for a while before answering, "I heard that Doctor Huang’s Master Teacher is a benevolent medical maestro known as Old Xue. We should send someone to invite him. Even so, your symptoms might improve, but there could be..."

"Could be what?"

The man in the white robe asked casually.

"Fearing there might be a lingering illness, leading to decreased strength. In the future, falling ill frequently might become a common occurrence..."

The old man kept his head buried, not daring to lift it at all.

"Oh, like that?"

The man in the white robe fell silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I was already supposed to have lost my life. The fact that Mr. Jiang saved my life is extremely fortunate. So, let it have lingering troubles!"

As he spoke, he couldn’t suppress his coughing, and waved for the old man to leave.

After a long while, his low sigh echoed in the room.

"Indeed, the imperial family is the most ruthless..."

Originally worried that Pan’er would get seasick, Qin Yi had made a lot of preparations when they boarded the ship.

Turns out Pan’er could eat and sleep well without any discomfort.

Because there were no maidservants serving them, Qin Yi took good care of her except for certain specific times. He was basically always by her side.

With nothing better to do, Qin Yi became obsessed with painting.

Ever since they had earned fifty taels of silver by selling a painting, Qin Yi painted one or two pictures almost every day. Portraits, landscapes, illustrative or realistic drawings were among his repertoire. He was full of naturalness and vigor, often spending a whole morning painting.

Unsurprisingly, he painted more of Pan’er!

Blushing and shy, sulky and frowning, lazy and recumbent, wielding a long whip, standing atop a mountain dancing with the wind...

Each painting was charming and attractive, as if another Su Pan’er was vividly standing on the painting!

On the other hand, Su Pan’er would either watch Qin Yi painting, or read on her bed. She would often take out the Golden Crow Whip and polish it.

This Golden Crow Whip had been with Su Pan’er ever since she obtained it in the cave. She had long been carrying this whip with her. She had studied the material of the whip for a long time, but still couldn’t figure out what it was made of. It was extremely flexible, but when infused with Inner Strength, it was incredibly powerful.

She had fallen in love with the rough touch that was wrapped in coldness and would take it out every day for careful polishing.

Aboard the ship, each day, Su Pan’er would stroll on the deck for two hours in the morning and evening to breathe fresh air and enjoy the scenery on the river.

Luckily, the ten or so men with the smell of blood from that day hadn’t appeared again.

Instead, Su Pan’er had run into that high-headed woman several times.

Through conversations her entourage had around her, she found out who the woman was — Mrs. Zhang, the legal wife of Lord Zhang from Jingxi Road Tea Salt Bureau!

Despite Su Pan’er had not heard about Lord Zhang, Mrs. Zhang’s husband before, she knew that the Tea Salt Bureau held considerable power, managing the most valuable and coveted salt contracts and tea contracts in Great Zhou Dynasty.

The tea contract was a certificate for exclusive tea sale obtained by tea merchants after paying the tea tax. Tea merchants bought tea in the officialdom, paid ten percent of the reference tax, the tea-producing counties would provide a tea contract, with which they could transport tea without paying taxes again.

The salt contract was similar and served as the most crucial basis for obtaining the right to sell salt.

Since both salt and tea were controlled by the government, and things controlled by the government were naturally not cheap.

This was a profitable job, so it’s no surprise that Mrs. Zhang has been so haughty!

However, even though Su Pan’er knew this, she didn’t have the habit of getting involved.

Each of them stood on their own side.

Su Pan’er was all alone.

And Mrs. Zhang was constantly surrounded by a group of women flattering her!

Most of the time, Qin Yi stayed far away from Su Pan’er, but whenever she appeared, Qin Yi’s figure was sure to be seen, which occasionally caught Mrs. Zhang’s curious gaze.

Especially when she saw the sweetness between the two, her face showed a weird expression.

That evening, as usual, Su Pan’er went up to the deck with Qin Yi.

The waves were tall and rapid, and the huge waves kept hitting the ship, rolling up turbulent waves, hitting the deck.

This was a merchant ship, it was loaded with a large amount of cargo, and the waterline was very deep. As it tossed in the turbulent sea, it worried people.

Qin Yi had moved Su Pan’er back and forth several times, narrowly escaping being swept into the sea by the huge waves.

What he was most worried about though was a large ship that had been closely following the merchant ship. It was getting closer and closer to the merchant ship, it seemed to be targeting the merchant ship, and the situation looked bad.

He frowned deeply, "The storm is severe today, I think it’s going to rain. Why don’t we go back to the cabin first?"

Su Pan’er looked over at the other side.

On the other side, the flattering chatter around Mrs. Zhang still showed no sign of stopping, even the violent wind and waves that were hitting them did not diminish the ardor of those women.

"Alright, let’s go back!"

Su Pan’er nodded, getting ready to leave.

Qin Yi quickly reached out to hold her hand and walked towards the direction of the cabin.

Suddenly, a massive wave roared towards the big ship, causing the whole ship to shake violently as it swept the deck.

Su Pan’er quickly grabbed the mast rail at the first sign of danger to steady herself.

The mainmast at the bow of the ship broke violently!

It crashed heavily onto the deck.

Qin Yi was shocked!

If the mast fell, it might harm everyone on the ship!

He immediately jumped up, grabbing a chain from the deck and flung it towards the falling mast...

Screams and shrieks filled the deck!

Mrs. Zhang was knocked off her feet by the hit, she fell hard at the edge of the deck.

She instinctively reached out for help.

But the women who had been flattering her couldn’t take care of themselves, let alone her. They all fled into the cabin.

The turbulent wave swept over the deck. She was rolled up by the wave and was carried away into the water.
