Chapter 166 The Death of Qin Jinghao
Qin Xuanyu turned his head and immediately caught the knife. Then he slashed out with his other hand and pushed out with his palm. Qin Jinghao was slammed heavily against the wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The assassin, ignoring Qin Xuanyu, immediately stepped forward to check on Qin Jinghao's condition.
"Don't worry about me, kill them, kill them!" Qin Jinghao shouted hoarsely, choking on the blood and coughing heavily.
"Yes!"
The assassin immediately turned his attention to Qin Xuanyu.
Consumed by rage, Qin Xuanyu exuded a terrifying killing intent.
He gently placed Jiang Qingyue down, then slowly stood up and stood in front of her.
"Those who hurt her deserve to die!"
After speaking, Qin Xuanyu took the initiative to attack, moving as if he were in an empty field, his moves ruthless and deadly.
Qin Jinghao was terrified that Qin Xuanyu could still stand up even in this situation. "Hurry up, get him there!"
However, something even more desperate happened.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried, orderly footsteps came from afar, followed by the sounds of a group of people charging into battle.
Qin Xuanyu's men have arrived!
Qin Jinghao didn't care about anything else and immediately grabbed a few assassins nearby, asking them to protect him as he left.
Just as they reached the door, it collapsed, and Qin Xuanyu's army arrived.
A group of assassins were protecting Qin Jinghao while he had to deal with the assassins, making it a very difficult situation.
With reinforcements arriving, Qin Xuanyu did not step forward again, but turned back and gently picked up Jiang Qingyue with a look of heartache.
Shadow Blade arrived with a group of men to escort Qin Xuanyu away. As soon as they entered, they saw Jiang Qingyue covered in blood and the prince with a grim expression. He opened his mouth but did not speak.
"Leave no one alive," Qin Xuanyu said, emphasizing each word.
Shadowblade accepted the order.
Even if the prince hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have let any of them go.
Qin Xuanyu carried Jiang Qingyue away first, leaving behind the constant shouts of battle and the scene of blood splattering everywhere.
Qin Jinghao, under the cover of the assassins, had just escaped in the chaos.
On the way down the mountain, Qin Jinghao was still shaken.
He was just one step away from winning!
Really damn it!
Qin Jinghao found a secluded spot to rest, drinking large gulps of water until his heartbeat finally calmed down.
"Qin Xuanyu, Jiang Qingyue, you just wait and see, I won't let you get away with this!"
"Go find me something to eat, I'm starving!" Qin Jinghao ordered the people around him.
He sat alone on the rock, unaware that a figure was slowly approaching from behind.
When Qin Jinghao sensed something was wrong, he turned his head and a dagger stabbed down at him.
In his final moments, all he saw was the sunlight reflecting off the dagger. His eyes widened, and he fell straight down.
……
Meanwhile, inside the Prince's mansion, a female physician was changing Jiang Qingyue's clothes and applying medicine.
When she saw the crisscrossing wounds on Jiang Qingyue's body, she couldn't bear to apply medicine.
What kind of person is this? They are absolutely vicious!
After applying the medicine, she slowly left the room.
"How is it?" It took more than half an hour to apply the medicine, which was extremely agonizing for Qin Xuanyu, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Your Highness, we have already applied medicine to Miss Jiang. Although they are all superficial wounds, the other party clearly used considerable force; the skin and flesh have been torn open, so they won't heal easily. Even if they do, I'm afraid..."
The female doctor paused, but still said truthfully, "I'm afraid it will leave a scar. And..."
"What else?"
“The superficial wounds are minor, but Miss Jiang’s infection is quite serious. With the wound and the ice water, she now has a persistent high fever, which is very dangerous. I’ve already sent someone to prepare herbal medicine. If her fever breaks tonight, that will be good; if not, I’m afraid…”
At this point, there was nothing Qin Xuanyu couldn't understand.
His expression darkened further. He dismissed the female physician and went into the room alone, sitting down beside Jiang Qingyue's bed.
Looking at Jiang Qingyue, who was still frowning even in her dreams, he slowly reached out and stroked her face, his eyes filled with heartache and self-reproach.
If he had been more cautious and careful back then, perhaps Qingyue wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
If he hadn't made that choice, would Qingyue have been spared all this?
Qin Xuanyu kept blaming himself in his heart.
He held Jiang Qingyue's hand and stayed by her side forever.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Jiang Qingyue's fingers twitched.
Qin Xuanyu, who had just dozed off, was startled awake. "You're awake?"
Qin Xuanyu quickly touched Jiang Qingyue's forehead; the fever had subsided, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hiss~" With the slightest movement, the wound throbbed with pain, and Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but gasp.
"Don't move, just lie still." Qin Xuanyu poured out some water and fed it to Jiang Qingyue spoonful by spoonful. Jiang Qingyue finally felt much better.
Seeing that Qin Xuanyu's eyes were bloodshot, Jiang Qingyue knew that he must have not rested all night.
"I...I'm fine, you should...go and rest." Although she was out of danger, she was still very weak. Jiang Qingyue felt breathless and had difficulty breathing after saying just a few words.
"I'm fine, I'll go rest in a bit."
At that moment, Shadowblade knocked on the door, wanting to report some news.
Qin Xuanyu prepared to get up, but because he had been on edge, he didn't feel any pain.
At this moment, Jiang Qingyue woke up, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he feel the burning pain in his back, and he couldn't help but stagger when he got up.
Shadow Blade quickly stepped forward to support him, "Your Highness, are you injured too? I'll call a doctor right away."
Jiang Qingyue suddenly remembered that, in a daze, she saw Qin Xuanyu standing in front of her; it wasn't a dream.
Remembering how Qin Xuanyu got injured protecting her, Jiang Qingyue felt that she had ultimately been a burden to him.
"I'm fine. I just need to put some medicine on it. It's just a superficial injury. Don't worry about it. Just rest. I'll come back to you after I've put on the medicine."
Seeing the guilt in Jiang Qingyue's eyes, Qin Xuanyu quickly comforted her, while also not wanting the news to affect her recovery.
In the study, Qin Xuanyu took off his clothes, revealing bruises all over his back, not much better than Jiang Qingyue's.
The doctor beside him was applying medicine to Qin Xuanyu.
After the medicine was applied, the doctor gave some instructions and left, leaving only Qin Xuanyu and Yingren in the study.
"Tell me, what happened?" From the very beginning, Qin Xuanyu noticed that Yingren's expression was off, and he suspected that something big had happened.
Sure enough, Shadowblade soon revealed a shocking piece of news—"The deposed crown prince is dead!"
