Chapter 778: Chapter 777: Ambush_1

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The emaciated figure lying on the stretcher coughed painfully, his shabby beard stained with a few dark blood stains. He barely opened his eyes and met Su Pan’er’s tear-filled gaze. He tried to smile, but he couldn’t.

He barely moved his pale and chapped lips and softly called out, "Pan’er..."

He tried to move his fingers, but they fell limp once more.

If not for Su Pan’er’s constant vigilance, she might have missed this moment.

"I’m here,... Qin Yi, I’m right here..."

Su Pan’er quickly wiped her tears, reached out, and grabbed his hand, managing a faint smile. Yet her voice was filled with resolve, "Don’t forget what you said... The promise you made me! If you dare forget, even if I go down to the Underworld, I won’t let you go!"

Qin Yi’s eyelashes quivered slightly, then closed once more.

He had said many things; which one was she referring to? He tried hard to remember, but he couldn’t recall!

But he nodded instinctively, "Fine..."

As long as it was what she wanted and what he promised to do, he would honor it. Even if she wanted his life, he would give it without hesitation.

Barely mustering a weak smile, he turned his head and once again plunged into a deep sleep.

This time, Su Pan’er didn’t cry. Instead, she held his hand tightly!

"You made a promise, and you must keep it! If you dare to leave our mother-daughter duo, even if I need to chase you to Yama’s Palace, I will definitely bring you back!"

She stated with sincerity, and the determination in her dewy eyes almost solidified.

Qin Yi was moved back to the room.

Only after moving him from the stretcher to the bed did Su Pan’er realize the severity of his injuries!

A large hole was directly stabbed into his abdomen with a large knife. There were countless injuries all over his legs and body. The large and small wounds were overlaid on each other, and the bandages wrapped like a zongzi were dyed bloody red...

Master Uncle Cheng stood next to Su Pan’er, helping her treat the wounds.

"It was an ambush."

His voice was low: "The old ministers plotted against the Lord Marquis, Lord Marquis initially did not see them as a threat. Confronted with them, Lord Marquis was superior. The old ministers were no match for the Lord Marquis. However, they unexpectedly took Qin Fei Mo hostage. The Lord Marquis and the Prince Regent took separate actions. When Qin Fei Mo was rescued, they were retreating when Qin Fei Mo suddenly stabbed the Lord Marquis in the back. Lord Marquis was unable to dodge and fell into a pit below..."

Su Pan’er suddenly raised her head, glanced at Master Uncle Cheng, and continued to treat the wounds.

Master Uncle Cheng lowered his head to avoid Su Pan’er’s gaze, blinked away the bitterness in his eyes, and pretended not to notice Su Pan’er’s trembling hands.

"Nevertheless, Lord Marquis managed to shield that little beast in the trap, not letting him get hurt at all. But himself... "

"Enough! Don’t say anymore!"

Su Pan’er interrupted Master Uncle Cheng with a strained voice after taking a deep breath, quickly tending to the wounds with varying severity.

Master Uncle Cheng didn’t continue. Instead, he talked about what Qin Yi said.

"Lord Marquis said that the Great Zhou Dynasty is already in chaos. The little beast should be protected to avoid more commoners from losing their homes and lives."

Su Pan’er seemed to use a bit more force when treating the wounds upon hearing this. The man, who had already fainted, frowned but couldn’t resist the darkness calling out to him and slipped into sleep once again.

Just as they were busy, the beaded curtains in the inner chamber suddenly rustled.

The Empress Dowager lifted the beaded curtain, stepping out of the inner chamber for the first time, and slowly walked over here.

"How could she be here?"

The moment Master Uncle Cheng saw the Empress Dowager, his face changed!

That Qin Feimo had just injured the Lord Marquis and immediately afterward, they saw the mother of the perpetrator standing there. It was odd indeed if Master Uncle Cheng remained in a good mood.

"She’s here to recuperate."

Amidst her busyness, Su Pan’er responded only to continue her rescue efforts

Recuperate?

Master Uncle Cheng’s face became as dark as pitch, glaring furiously. He promptly stepped in front of Qin Yi, blocking her view.

Upon seeing Old Cheng, the Empress Dowager glanced up from the side of Master Uncle Cheng. Her gaze fell on the blood-soaked body of Qin Yi, her brow furrowed slightly.

"Can he still be saved?"

"I get the feeling you’d rather he die, wouldn’t you?"

Old Cheng showed no regard for her status, standing in front of her: "Look, do you see? He got these injuries because he was saving your son. But now, look at what your son has done. He betrayed his trust, stabbing him in the back! Even pushing him into a trap. Is this how he repays his kindness? What a heartless brute!"

The more Old Cheng scolded, the more severe it became, to the point of culminating in a rebuke towards the Empress Dowager.

At last, the Empress Dowager shifted her gaze away from Qin Yi onto Old Cheng.

"Who are you? As a servant, act your part. Don’t add to your master’s troubles!"

Even with her current predicament, the Empress Dowager held her back straight.

Her attitude immediately incensed Old Cheng, inciting him to retort: "Who I am is none of your business, I clearly understand what happened here, are you trying to play dumb? I..."

"Old Cheng!"

Finally, Su Pan’er spoke: "The Lord Marquis is deeply loyal to His Majesty. He has yet to regain consciousness, let’s wait until he wakes up to discuss what really happened here!"

After saying this, she looked at the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, I have urgent matters at hand. I request that you rest inside and be careful not to harm your phoenix body."

The Empress Dowager stared at Qin Yi, who looked like he could take his last breath at any moment, then finally turned to go inside.

"Although we are unsure why our son would act in such a manner, there must be a reason. Once we return to the palace, we will definitely provide you with an explanation."

"Keep dreaming!"

Clearly frustrated, Old Cheng taunted her once more.

After the Empress Dowager went inside without a word, he quickly put away his ferocity. A flicker of intelligence shone in his eyes, far removed from the aggressive demeanor he displayed moments before.

He warned himself inwardly, this woman was not one to meddle with lightly!

After watching the Empress Dowager disappear behind her beaded curtain, Su Pan’er said nothing more, and focused once again on the treatment of the injuries.

Qin Yi had too many external injuries and lost too much blood. After stitching up his wounds, Su Pan’er sneaked into the secret room. Not only did she retrieve some Wild Mountain Ginseng to help save Qin Yi’s life, she also coerced the rascal pig to help out.

Now, the rascal pig was immune to Su Pan’er’s tricks. Despite its small size, it was tough and rugged, not at all intimidated by Su Pan’er’s strength.

Instead, it took the opportunity to pester her, obtaining quite a few treats from Su Pan’er’s hands.
