Chapter 222
The person who came was none other than Cui Minxing.
He looked at the bloody wound on Chen Linshen's arm, his face full of worry: "Prince Changshan, who stabbed you?"
Chen Linshen glanced around calmly and saw that the people around him were approaching the medical center. He raised his voice and said, "Half an hour ago, I met a group of men in black when I returned to the city.
"They shot my horse with bows and arrows, destroyed my carriage, and I almost died under their arrows.
"Thankfully Miss Cui from Duke Jingguo's Mansion blocked an arrow for me, so I was able to escape."
Cui Minxing showed a shocked expression: "What? Someone actually assassinated the prince at the feet of the emperor?
"Prince, where is the assassin? The general will go and capture the assassin immediately."
Chen Linshen: "Oh, they all ran away."
Cui Minxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Chen Linshen pointing at the masked girl beside him and loudly said:
"That's her, Cui Hengyue, the eldest daughter of Cui Yongxuan of the Duke of Jingguo.
"It was her act of kindness that saved me from danger. I will remember this kindness in my heart."
Chen Linshen turned to Cui Hengyue again and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Mrs. Cui, for your life-saving grace. If you need it in the future, you can come to me at the Changshan County Prince's Mansion at any time."
Cui Hengyue didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but having this title of savior would be helpful for her to enter the Jingguo Palace safely.
She thought that even if the Cui family was extremely powerful, they would not dare to offend the regent.
Thinking of this, Cui Hengyue's lips curved under her veil: "The prince is too polite."
Cui Minxing's eyes widened.
Prince Changshan admitted in public that Cui Hengyue was his savior and said he wanted to repay her. Under such circumstances, how could he attack Cui Hengyue?
A voice suddenly popped out from the crowd: "I remember that Mr. Cui's eldest daughter seems to be named Cui Ying, not Cui Hengyue."
Cui Minxing's heart moved, and he immediately answered: "Yes, Lord Changshan, the eldest daughter of Mr. Cui is called Cui Ying, not Cui Hengyue, have you been deceived?
"I am a member of the Cui clan, so I know this very well."
A member of the Cui clan?
Cui Hengyue looked at Cui Minxing and looked at him calmly.
Chen Linshen saw her gaze and introduced her: "This is your grandfather's nephew and your clan uncle, General Cui Minxing of the patrol camp."
Cui Minxing...Cui Hengyue wrote down this name.
Chen Linshen faced everyone again and explained loudly: "This little lady Cui Hengyue is indeed the eldest daughter of Mr. Cui. Her mother is the second daughter of Governor Wang, who is also the first wife of Mr. Cui."
When the Wang family was mentioned, everyone showed expressions of sudden realization.
It turns out that she is the daughter of the original wife, Mrs. Wang.
Cui Hengyue's heart moved, she took off her veil, and gave a junior salute to Cui Minxing: "It turns out to be General Cui, whom I have admired for a long time."
Cui Minxing was stunned.
It's not because Cui Hengyue didn't take advantage of the situation to call him uncle, but because Cui Hengyue's face is almost exactly the same as Cui Yongxuan's.
Seeing Cui Hengyue's face, the people around him immediately exploded.
"Look, this little lady Cui looks exactly like Master Cui. She is indeed her biological daughter."
"When Mr. Cui was young, he was the most handsome man in Jinyang. Now that he is good, someone has finally inherited Mr. Cui's beauty..."
Hearing these unscrupulous comments, Cui Minxing's face became increasingly ugly.
"Ms. Cui, let's go and treat the wound first."
Seeing that everything that needed to be said was said, Chen Linshen entered the medical center with Cui Hengyue, but before entering, he winked at Songmu.
So, as soon as Cui Hengyue entered the door of the medical clinic, he heard someone asking loudly: "I heard that Cui Sanye and Wang's daughter had died long ago, how come she is still alive?"
Cui Hengyue paused in his steps.
Then, she heard Song Mu's voice again: "Those are all rumors. Mr. Cui's eldest daughter is alive and well..."
Cui Hengyue turned her head and looked at Chen Linshen.
"Miss Cui, please." Chen Linshen gave her a friendly smile.
"Prince, please."
Cui Hengyue covered her face with a veil and bowed politely.
Someone helped her build momentum, which saved her a lot of time.
After Song Zhuoxing and others entered, Cui Minxing whispered to the people around him: "Hurry to the Jingguo Duke's Mansion and inform Mrs. Cui of the situation here."
After giving instructions, he also entered the hospital.
Cui Hengyue and his party were all injured, but they were all minor injuries and not serious.
Dr. Zhang, the boss behind the medical clinic, came over after hearing the news and bandaged Chen Linshen's wound himself. His movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting Chen Linshen.
Cui Minxing stood aside, and after telling Doctor Zhang to "be gentle", he bent down and asked Chen Linshen: "Prince, I wonder where you were assassinated?
"I'll take people to take a look. Maybe we can find some clues and follow the clues to catch those assassins."
Chen Linshen didn't think much and told the address of the assassination.
"You two stay to protect Prince Changshan, and the others will follow me." Cui Minxing made arrangements and was about to leave.
Chen Linshen stopped him: "No need, General Cui, please take everyone away. Someone will protect me."
After finishing his words, Chen Linshen looked towards the door.
Cui Minxing followed Chen Linshen's gaze and saw the regent's bodyguard walking in from the door.
He hurriedly greeted him: "Commander Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Chen stopped and scolded Cui Minxing: "At the feet of the Emperor, someone actually assassinated Prince Changshan. How did you, a general of the patrol camp, do your job?"
He did not assassinate Prince Changshan...
Cui Minxing felt bitter in his heart and defended weakly: "Prince Changshan was assassinated outside the city..."
"What? Are you still shirking responsibility?"
Jiang Chen shot him a sharp look.
Cui Minxing hurriedly said: "I failed to protect you. Please calm down the regent. After I investigate the place where the assassination occurred, I will personally apologize to the regent."
After saying that, he took the people and left.
His hasty retreat just now left no trace of any flaws, so he had to quickly go to the woods to check.
Jiang Chen glanced at him and walked towards Chen Linshen.
"Prince, are you okay?"
Chen Linshen gestured to his arm with his eyes: "It's just a minor injury, don't be nervous."
Doctor Zhang bandaged the wound, bowed and stepped aside.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen said to Chen Linshen: "Your Majesty, the regent is still waiting for you in the palace."
"No rush, I'll send my savior back home first." Chen Linshen looked at Cui Hengyue who had returned from the backyard. Her injuries had been treated.
Jiang Chen followed his gaze and saw only the side face of the young lady, which was covered with a veil and her appearance could not be clearly seen.
He glanced around, looking for Cui Hengyue, whom the regent had told him about, and finally fixed his gaze on the girl in white not far away.
It seems that this girl is Cui Hengyue who came from Yunxuan Temple.
Jiang Chen approached Chen Linshen and whispered: "The regent has an order not to allow the prince to interfere with Cui's family affairs."
Chen Linshen smiled submissively: "I know, I'm just sending my savior back home."
"Prince..."
Just as Jiang Chen was about to persuade, Chen Linshen was already walking towards Cui Hengyue.
Cui Hengyue is asking about Song Zhuoxing's injury.
Doctor Qin, who was responsible for treating Song Zhuoxing's injuries, said: "This young man's left hand was dislocated, he was hit by three arrows, and his back was scratched by sharp stones.
"The injury is serious and I have to stay in bed..."
The more Cui Hengyue listened, the uglier her expression became. She had seen that he had no arrows on his body before, so she thought he was not injured.
Now it seems that he must have pulled out the arrow after saving her.
