From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 433

Zhou Yuan waited until late at night, but did not wait for Lao Lin to come back with Xiaoying.

After falling into a deep sleep, Guan Lu rushed into the yard in the middle of the night and woke up Zhou Yuan and others.

Zhou Yuan's heart suddenly sank, and he didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He ran out and shouted: "What's the matter! What happened!"

The two have worked together for more than a year and have already developed a tacit understanding. Guan Lu's interruption in the middle of the night must be something that cannot be delayed.

"Ji Yao Tang! Sir! Go to Ji Yao Tang!"

Guan Lu panted and said anxiously: "Miss Xiaoying is in Ji Yao Tang. She can't hold on any longer. She was shot three times."

Zhou Yuan's mind suddenly buzzed. He shook his head suddenly and said anxiously: "Take people to watch the area around Ji Yao Tang and don't let any strangers get close. Is the carriage ready!"

Guan Lu said: "It's ready!"

Zhou Yuan put on his shoes and shouted: "Go wake up Qinshui too. She may be able to save Xiaoying. Hurry!"

Guan Lu hurried to do it.

Zhou Yuan put on a piece of clothes casually and ran out. After waiting anxiously for a while, Princess Qinshui finally came out.

She was also sleeping soundly. After being woken up, she was scared to death when she learned about Xiaoying's situation.

"Zhou Yuan, what happened? How could Xiaoying be shot!"

She got on the carriage first.

Zhou Yuan followed and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid the Portuguese have seized the dock and occupied the coastal waters."

"It seems that they also suffered losses in this battle, and they are angry and now they want revenge."

Princess Qinshui said, "But Xiaoying is so good at martial arts, it shouldn't be impossible for her to escape!"

Zhou Yuan said, "There should be other situations. You will know when you get there. Are you ready?"

Princess Qinshui nodded and said, "As long as I can save her, I can do anything."

Rushing to Jiyaotang, the door was full of black-clothed people, and there were shadows everywhere around the street, obviously Zhou Yuan's men.

Zhuang Xuansu also followed. She was tactful and didn't talk nonsense with Zhou Yuan at this time, otherwise Zhou Yuan would be furious.

Rushing all the way into Jiyaotang, Zhou Yuan saw the swaying candlelight and the dim light of the lights.

On the small bed, Xiaoying had already fallen into a coma, lying weakly, with blood dripping from her back.

Several female guards were carefully removing bullets from her. They had rich experience.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and slowly retreated.

He looked at Lao Lin and said coldly, "What happened?"

Lao Lin said in a low voice, "At dusk, the Portuguese iron ship arrived at Huizhou Port and began to rob goods and cargo ships."

"In the chaos, she was shot. When I arrived, she couldn't hold on."

"I saw that her condition was worse, so I didn't dare to delay. After sealing her acupuncture points with my internal force, I rushed back overnight."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "How many ironclad ships? How many Portuguese people?"

Lao Lin said in a deep voice, "Only one, but there are more than a hundred people, at least forty of whom are carrying guns. They are combat troops."

Zhou Yuan thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Go and rest. Don't leave tomorrow. Set off again the day after tomorrow."

"Yes."

Lao Lin retreated.

Zhou Yuan then looked at the old man who was sitting restlessly beside him and said calmly: "Are you the doctor here?"

"Yes, yes."

The old man nodded and bowed quickly and said: "Sir, I have tried my best."

Zhou Yuan said: "What is her condition now?"

The old man sighed and said: "Three bullets have hit the flesh. The reason why she is still holding on until now is that no important organs have been injured and the blood loss is not too much."

"But it is not easy to save her. Removing the iron beads will cause a relatively large wound, and the wound is not easy to heal."

"I am afraid she can't hold on with her small body."

Zhou Yuan nodded and waved his hand and said: "Go prepare gold wound medicine and clean cloth, and prepare some tonic."

"Yes."

The old man was very perceptive and nodded quickly to do it.

At this moment, Princess Qinshui was already in tears.

She looked at Xiaoying's petite body lying there, with the wound on her back bleeding, and her heart couldn't help but ache.

She couldn't help but hold Zhou Yuan's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Zhou Yuan, Xiaoying will be okay? I don't want her to die."

Who wants her to die? You said that strangely.

But Zhou Yuan understood her. She was just anxious and heartbroken.

Maybe she had talked a lot with Xiaoying during the two or three days she spent with her and had established a deep friendship.

Otherwise, Xiaoying would not have told her so many things, even her whereabouts in the past six months.

Zhou Yuan was filled with emotion. The last time he saw Xiaoying was last year's hunting in Beishan. It had been nearly a year since they last met.Years have passed, but I didn't expect to meet in this way.

This girl is like a kitten, well-behaved and lively, but sensitive and fragile inside, with a bit of stubbornness. When she was injured, she would hide and lick her wounds silently.

How could such a smart person be hit by a firearm?

While thinking, an inner guard had already shouted: "Master, the iron beads have been taken out, and the bleeding needs to be stopped immediately."

Zhuang Xuansu hurried in and sealed Xiaoying's acupuncture points again.

Then she said in a deep voice: "Go get the gold wound medicine and cloth to bandage the wound."

Several inner guards had a tacit understanding. One person supported Xiaoying's body, two people applied the medicine, and then two people wrapped the wound tightly.

Is the rest up to fate?

Zhou Yuan looked at Princess Qinshui and said in a deep voice: "Go, remember to be gentle, step by step, and protect the heart meridian."

"I understand."

Princess Qinshui hurried to the bed and sat cross-legged.

Zhuang Xuansu picked up Xiaoying and asked her to sit cross-legged in front of him.

So Princess Qinshui's pure and gentle inner force was continuously poured into Xiaoying's body.

But the next moment, Princess Qinshui stopped immediately, looked at Zhou Yuan in horror, and said anxiously: "There is a force in her body that repels my inner force!"

How is it possible!

Princess Qinshui practiced the "Chongxuan Jingying Heart Sutra" of Tianshi Zhengyi Dao, which is a real and authentic Taoist method of health preservation. There should be no conflict.

No!

It's Gu!

Xiaoying should have Gu in her body.

Although Zhou Yuan didn't understand what that thing was, since it was repelling, he couldn't continue.

"Let me do it!"

Zhou Yuan remembered that Xiaoying didn't reject him. When he first arrived in the small courtyard of Shenjing, he had poured internal force into Xiaoying.

Maybe he also had Gu in his body. It seemed that he had it when he was in Lin'an Prefecture.

Time was too tight, so Zhou Yuan didn't think about it carefully.

He quickly sat cross-legged behind Xiaoying, and poured the hot internal force of the Pure Yang Wuji Gong into Xiaoying's body.

Xiaoying's back subconsciously straightened up, and she groaned in pain.

Princess Qinshui immediately said excitedly: "She's awake, she's awake, she can be saved, Xiaoying can be saved."

At the end, her voice couldn't help but choke.

Zhuang Xuansu looked around carefully, then waved his hand and said: "Let's all go out and leave this place to them."

Everyone looked at each other and slowly left the room.

Outside, Princess Qinshui was still informing the doctor to make ginseng soup or something... I can't hear it clearly...

Zhou Yuan just focused on pouring his internal force into Xiaoying's body, round after round, over and over again.

And in a place that he couldn't see with his naked eyes, a poisonous insect quietly drilled out of his lower abdomen and drilled into Xiaoying's body.

Xiaoying's figure shook slightly, and finally opened his eyes in a daze.

She felt the presence of the insect and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother..."
