Chapter 205 Xia He was stabbed in the heart, Gu Lingshuang performed surgery to save her
Gu Lingshuang nodded obediently.
Xiao Ziming pressed her down on the couch and said softly, "Are you tired? Rest here first. When you wake up, I should have finished my work."
Gu Lingshuang nodded obediently again.
Xiao Ziming was pleased by her well-behaved appearance.
He kissed her eyebrows, then stood up and left the imperial study.
The entire imperial study fell silent again. Gu Lingshuang did not ask him what he was going to do because she believed that Xiao Ziming would arrange everything properly.
She lay on the couch to rest.
She didn't know how long it had been, but in a daze, she seemed to hear the door of the imperial study being pushed open from the outside.
She thought it was Xia He who came in, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
The footsteps were very quiet, as if afraid of waking her up.
The other person approached the bed, a vicious look flashed across his eyes, and then he strangled Gu Lingshuang's neck with such force that it was obvious that he wanted to strangle her to death.
Gu Lingshuang woke up instantly. When she opened her eyes, she saw a eunuch gritting his teeth viciously.
"Bitch, go to hell."
Gu Lingshuang struggled, but because her neck was strangled and she couldn't breathe, she couldn't get free.
She changed her mind and took out a scalpel from the medical space.
The scalpel turned around and cut the rope in one go.
The eunuch didn't expect Gu Lingshuang to be able to conjure up a knife. He was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, the scalpel stabbed his thigh.
"Pfft".
The entire blade was inserted, and the eunuch let out a sharp scream.
Soon, guards from the palace rushed in.
"What happened?"
Gu Lingshuang pointed at the eunuch who was screaming on the ground and said, "Catch him and torture him severely. I want to see who sent him to kill me."
After Gu Lingshuang finished speaking, the eunuch was arrested.
A guard hesitated to speak.
Gu Lingshuang noticed it and asked, "Just say it if you have something to say."
"Princess, your personal maid was killed by this eunuch."
Gu Lingshuang's pupils dilated instantly.
Xia He had accompanied her all the way from Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. Although she was her maid, she valued Xia He very much.
Gu Lingshuang quickly rushed out of the imperial study and saw the scene of Xia He lying in a pool of blood.
There was a dagger stuck in her heart, her face was as white as paper, and blood was flowing from her lips.
Ye Shengsheng's face suddenly turned pale.
"Xia He? Xia He!"
She called out several times, but Xia He didn't respond at all.
"Someone, carry Xia He into the imperial study." She must save her and must perform surgery on Xia He immediately.
The guards obeyed the order and carried Xia He inside.
When Gu Lingshuang passed by the eunuch, she looked disgusted and said, "If he doesn't confess, I will use torture to get a confession out of him."
"As ordered."
Gu Lingshuang closed the door of the imperial study, then walked to the bedside, waved her hand, and summoned the operating table in the medical space.
She carried Xia He to the operating table, gave her anesthesia, and then started the operation.
There was a knife stuck in her heart. The operation was extremely difficult and she had to be very careful without any mistakes.
If something goes wrong, it will inevitably lead to heavy bleeding and complications.
There was no assistant beside her, and she had to do everything by herself, which made the operation exponentially more difficult.
Gu Lingshuang held the surgical instruments in her hands and performed the operation with full concentration.
Time passed bit by bit, and when Xiao Ziming heard that Gu Lingshuang was assassinated, he hurriedly dropped what he was doing and rushed over.
The door of the imperial study was closed.
Xiao Ziming asked: "Where is the princess?"
A guard reported back, "Your Highness, we don't know what the princess was doing in the imperial study. The princess asked us to carry the seriously injured Miss Xia He in and then closed the door."
Xiao Ziming immediately realized that Gu Lingshuang was most likely treating Xia He.
He felt slightly relieved, then looked at the eunuch with cold eyes.
"You are the one who wants to kill my princess?"
The eunuch was beaten to pieces, but he refused to reveal who was behind it.
Xiao Ziming was playing with a dagger in his hand. Suddenly, the dagger flew out and cut off all five of his fingers.
"Ah——" Xiao Jian screamed miserably, his face full of fear.
His hand, his hand—
Xiao Ziming sneered: "If you dare to hurt my princess, you must be prepared to die."
"Now I give you two choices. First, tell me who is behind this and I will kill you. Second, if you don't, I will turn you into a human pig and throw you into a cesspool, letting you die in agony."
The eunuch was so scared that he wet his pants, and the air was filled with the smell of urine.
Devil, King Xiaoyao is simply a devil.
She is so beautiful, why would she do such a cruel thing?
"Will you tell me or not?" Xiao Ziming started playing with the dagger in his hand again.
The eunuch burst into tears and said, "I will tell you everything. It was Miss Li from the Imperial Tutor's family who gave me one thousand taels of silver and ordered me to do this."
A smile appeared on Xiao Ziming's lips.
"It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin."
The dagger was thrown out again, cutting off all the fingers on his other hand.
The eunuch almost died from the pain, but how could Xiao Ziming let him die so easily?
He ordered his men to pour a bucket of cold water on the eunuch.
It was still winter, and the eunuch was soaked, shivering with cold, and his whole body was numb. He couldn't even feel the pain of the broken fingers on his hands.
"Say or not?"
The eunuch raised his eyelids and said, "What I said is really rare."
"Haha!" Xiao Ziming sneered.
After the Grand Tutor's granddaughter left the palace, I ordered people to follow her secretly, but I never discovered that the Grand Tutor's granddaughter secretly ordered people to kill my princess. Now you still dare to quibble.
"Chop off his legs and throw him into the cesspool."
Xiao Ziming gave the order in a cold voice.
The guard raised his knife and pointed it at his legs.
The eunuch was scared to death, struggling and shouting: "I will tell you everything. It was not the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor who bribed me. The reason I said this was because the Imperial Concubine taught me. Because the Imperial Concubine wanted to get rid of the prince, only when the prince died, the fourth prince could naturally succeed to the throne. But the Imperial Concubine has not thought of how to deal with the prince for the time being, so she started with the princess first."
"The prince and the princess are deeply in love. Once the princess dies, the prince will lose his mind. The concubine can take advantage of the prince's sadness to find a flaw and then attack the prince."
In fact, Xiao Ziming had guessed it even without him saying it.
He just wanted to confirm his guess.
He winked at Zhufeng, who immediately understood and chopped off the eunuch's head with a knife.
At the moment the eunuch died, the door of the imperial study finally opened.
A strong smell of blood wafted out from inside, and Gu Lingshuang's face was full of fatigue.
At this time, it was already dark outside and the palace lanterns were swaying in the cold winter wind.
Gu Lingshuang even walked unsteadily, and Xiao Ziming hurried over to help her.
"Shuangshuang, how are you?"
Gu Lingshuang shook her head: "I'm fine, Xia He is fine too."
Her operation lasted for two hours. During these two hours, her mind was in a state of high tension. Once she relaxed, she was overwhelmed by fatigue.
She leaned on Xiao Ziming and closed her eyes.
"I'm so tired."
"Go to sleep if you are tired. We will go home now."
"Well, don't forget to ask someone to bring Xia He with you."
"it is good."
