Chapter 544 Shen Chumu was seriously injured
An Yitang spent the night entertaining outside, and returned to the house drunk at dawn. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw a beautiful figure sitting inside. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be Mu Wanqing.
After being stunned for a short time, An Yitang immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"I don't know that Miss Mu's arrival is a bit unexpected."
After Mu Wanqing stood up and returned the gift, she first told An Yitang about Yongzhou's affairs, and then explained the purpose of her trip.
"Shen Ruzhou has probably come to Hongcheng. I also ask Duke An Guo to help me capture this person."
After hearing this, An Yitang said with some embarrassment: "There are many people in Hongcheng, it is not easy to find someone."
Mu Wanqing naturally knew, and only said: "First send people to guard the main roads in the city, and then send people to restaurants and guesthouses to investigate..."
While the two were talking, the steward of the Duke's Mansion came in and reported, "Master, General Shen is leaving today and I came here to say goodbye."
"Tell him not to come. You can just go and see him off." An Yitang had no time to attend to other matters. He only focused on arranging the manpower to capture Shen Ruzhou as soon as possible and go to the prince to claim credit.
"General Shen? Shen Chumu is in Hongcheng?!" Mu Wanqing's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the news.
Shen Ruzhou originally wanted to see his brother off, but it was difficult to show up because of the crowd. She just stood at the top of the restaurant and watched her brother riding out of the city gate from a distance.
At noon, Shen Ruzhou and Bei Xiu had nothing to do at the banquet, so they decided to have a meal in the restaurant before leaving.
Before the meal was finished, he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps on the street. Shen Ruzhou opened the window of the private room and looked out, only to see Shen Chumu being carried back covered in blood.
The waiter came in to serve tea and saw her standing by the window, staring at the street, and said, "Girl, that is the cousin of Mrs. An Guo's family. I heard that they encountered robbers just after leaving the city and were patrolled by soldiers. He has been rescued and is now being sent to Duke An Guo’s Mansion for treatment.”
Shen Ruzhou ignored the waiter, all he could think about was how his brother was seriously injured.
Bei Xiuyan waved the waiter to leave, carefully closed the door, and hurriedly came to Shen Ruzhou's side, comforting him warmly, "Don't worry, I'll go find out the news first."
"Yes." Shen Ruzhou came back to his senses and nodded in agreement, his palms full of cold sweat.
The two returned to the small rented yard. When it got dark, a beggar knocked on the door and told the news he had found out, "The Duke Anguo's Mansion invited the best doctors in the city, but they were unable to do anything. They just posted a message." After receiving the notice, the whole city is looking for famous doctors."
After hearing this, Beixiu Yan threw a tael of silver to the little beggar, and the little beggar left with a smile.
After hearing the news, Shen Ruzhou felt even more anxious and couldn't sit still anymore, "Your Majesty, I'm going to see my brother."
"Ruzhou, I know you are worried, but there is something fishy about this matter." Beixiu Yan paused, pulled Shen Ruzhou to sit down, held her hand and said, "I think someone is using Shen Chumu to set a trap and force us to Show up.”
After he mentioned it, Shen Ruzhou also thought about it, but that was her dear brother. The suffocating pain she felt when she learned that her brother died in the last life was still unforgettable to this day, and she could not bear to do it again.
"Your Majesty, I understand your concerns. However, I cannot care about my brother's life or death." Shen Ruzhou's words were filled with pleading, and her eyes were filled with water. "Your Majesty, I want to see my brother tonight. I can only take a look in person." Peace of mind.”
Seeing her like this, Bei Xiuyan knew the risk, but still agreed, "I will accompany you."
Taking advantage of the darkness, the two of them touched the guest house where Shen Chumu stayed before, and could smell the pungent smell of medicine from a long distance away.
Shen Ruzhou lit the incense, stunned the guards outside the house, and entered the room with Bei Xiuyan.
When she came to the bed, she saw that Shen Chumu's face was pale and there was a hole in his chest that was three-quarters deep into the bone. It was very shocking.
Shen Ruzhou helped him carefully diagnose his pulse, but found that the pulse was weak and if not treated properly, it would be life-threatening.
Bei Xiuyan stood by the door, staring outside with alert eyes.
Suddenly a group of guards rushed into the courtyard holding high-burning torches. Bei Xiuyan secretly said, "Not good." He quickly took Shen Ruzhou out of the back window.
As he ran fast, the pursuers behind him got closer and closer.
Bei Xiuyan saw a rockery in front of him and pulled Shen Ruzhou inside. Unexpectedly, he saw Shen Rumeng as soon as he entered the cave.
The guard entered the backyard and saw that the chasing figure disappeared. He was about to spread out to look for it, but suddenly heard a sharp yell, "Ah..."
The guard immediately ran over following the sound and saw Shen Rumeng standing in front of the rockery, his face distorted from fright.
The guard raised his hand and asked, "Madam, have you seen the assassin?"
"That's where they went." Shen Rumeng pointed tremblingly at Xiyuan.
After hearing this, the leading guard waved his hand and led the people to run towards Xiyuan.
When the footsteps were far away, Shen Rumeng returned to the rockery cave. Shen Ruzhou didn't expect her to be so kind and asked curiously, "Why do you want to help us?"
Shen Rumeng smiled mockingly, "I was ignorant at home and made all kinds of trouble with you. Now that I'm married, I realize that my parents' family is my biggest supporter. If it weren't for my brother's protection yesterday, An Yitang would have beaten me."
Shen Rumeng spoke sadly, and there was a crying tone in her words.
Seeing her like this, Shen Ruzhou couldn't bear it, so he kindly comforted her for a few words, and then she took out the medicine she had brought with her.
"My brother is seriously injured. Feed him this medicine three times a day without any hesitation."
Shen Rumeng took it carefully and promised: "Don't worry. I will take good care of him."
Seeing her like this, Shen Ruzhou said from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you."
For two days in a row, Shen Rumeng followed Shen Ruzhou's instructions to personally take care of Shen Chumu's injuries. Seeing that her brother could open his eyes and say a few words, she dared to let go of her worries.
An Yitang came to see Shen Chumu hypocritically. As soon as he went out, he looked at Shen Rumeng with doubts and said in a strange tone, "It's really hard for Madam to take care of her in such a state of undress."
"Of course I have to take good care of my brother and my concubine. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be difficult for my husband to explain to General Shen." Shen Rumeng's words were full of guns and sticks. How could An Yitang not hear it? He flicked his sleeves and said coldly He grunted and left.
