Chapter 1712: Chapter 1712: The Injury is Serious
“Yun Niang, I will go see the Shopkeeper Liu you mentioned tomorrow morning.” Although his young wife had roughly explained how Leng Jingxian found Shopkeeper Liu to poison him, there were still some things Gu Ya needed to ask personally.
In Gu Ya’s embrace, Su Yunjin felt especially warm. Lying there, she didn’t want to move at all. Drowsiness surged over her as she vaguely heard Gu Ya continue to talk, but she was already half-asleep, yawning. The little wife who had been fidgeting in his arms suddenly became quiet. When Gu Ya looked down, he saw the woman in his arms had closed her eyes and fallen asleep. Gu Ya shook his head with amusement, she had claimed she wasn’t tired!
How could she fall asleep so quickly?
Knowing she must be exhausted from the day’s events, Gu Ya decided not to speak further once his young wife fell asleep. He extinguished the oil lamp in the room, then joined the woman in his arms in sleep.
Shopkeeper Liu stayed at Su Yunjin’s house overnight, unable to sleep soundly at all. The terrifying murder scenes he had witnessed during the day haunted him, making him deeply afraid. He still wanted to live! He had made up his mind that once the poisoning issue was resolved, he would take his son to move to Yangcheng, sell his medicine shop, and open a new shop in Yangcheng. He would also buy a new house.
Although the medicine shop hadn’t made much money each year, the savings accumulated over the years meant Shopkeeper Liu still had some money on hand, enough for him to live well in Yangcheng.
Resolving his plan, Shopkeeper Liu spent a restless night and woke up early the next morning. Before dawn, he heard knocking outside the door, thinking it was the group of assassins from the previous day. Frightened, he didn’t dare make a sound or move, even as he hurriedly slid under the bed.
Gu Ya had some questions for Shopkeeper Liu. After knocking once without response, he knocked again. “Shopkeeper Liu, I know you’re awake. Open the door!” Hearing sounds from inside, Gu Ya knew Shopkeeper Liu wasn’t asleep.
Halfway under the bed, Shopkeeper Liu heard a man’s voice, realizing it wasn’t an assassin. Trembling, he crawled out to open the door.
Upon seeing Shopkeeper Liu, Gu Ya noticed his forehead drenched in sweat and his body trembling slightly. A bit surprised, Gu Ya stated, “Shopkeeper Liu, as long as you honestly disclose the matter of the poisoning, you may receive lenient punishment. But if you dare to conceal anything, be sure that severe punishment will follow!” Staring intently at Shopkeeper Liu, Gu Ya’s quiet voice carried immense authority, causing Liu to shiver again, “Master Gu, I assure you, I will tell everything I know without reservation, I absolutely will not conceal anything.”
At the Wang Residence!
The injury to the Prince was not severe, yet due to excessive blood loss, he remained in a coma. Despite being given several bowls of medicine by the doctor in the morning, the Prince had vomited them all back out.
“What should we do? How can the Prince take any medicine in this condition?” The Prince’s trusted aide looked anxious. Even with the highly skilled Xiao Imperial Physician present, everyone’s hearts were in their throats, afraid of something happening to the Prince. If anything happened to the Prince, none of them would escape responsibility.
Entrusted with caring for the Prince by the Old Princess, the Prince’s current comatose state was entirely due to their negligence. Just as everyone was worried about the Prince’s injury, a burly man couldn’t contain his anger. Orıginal content can be found at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
