131 Hide (1/2)
”Why is the imperial physician not coming out?”
Xiao Lou asked anxiously. They had been waiting for a while but the imperial physician who was together with XuanFei inside the room did not go out after spending a couple of tea time inside.
”Did something happen? Cou-could it be…. C-could it be Fei'er is….”
Xiao Lou could not finish what she wanted to say. She was deeply afraid to continue her sentence. What if XuanFei was in critical condition that was why the imperial physician was still inside?
Thinking of those possibilities, Xiao Lou started scrying once again.
”Will you stop crying?! Your crying will not help!!”
XuanLi irritatingly shouted. He was already at his limit. His daughter, whom he painstakingly raised had a miscarriage and he did not know if she was fine or not, while his wife whom he treasured for sixteen years was now crying after destroying their daughter's future.
What a terrible luck he had, ah!
XuanLi could not help but snap at Xiao Lou after hearing her cry. His eyes were glaring at her, making Xiao Lou swallow all her grievance.
Another minutes had passed before the imperial physician went out of the room.
When Xiao Lou saw the imperial physician, she immediately stood up and meet him.
”How's my daughter?”
The Imperial Physician's robe was full of blood. Before he could say something, the palace maid and his apprentices started leaving the room, carrying different things such as the box of herbs, a bowl of water with blood, clothes, etc.
”Put those things away.”
”Yes.”
The imperial physician turned his head towards Xiao Lou.
”The Young Lady is already okay. Her body is currently very weak. You must make sure to let her rest.”
Hearing the imperial physician's words, Xiao Lou exhaled in relief.
”How about the baby?”
XuanLi asked. He wanted to make sure that the baby died.
Hearing Xuan's question, the imperial physician's face grimaced.
”I tried my best but the baby was still-----” alive.
*swish!*
Before the imperial physician could finish his words, an arrow pierced his neck and snuffed the life out of him.
*swish* *swish* *swish*
One by one, the arrows flew towards those people inside the courtyard. XuanLi hurriedly ducked but was still pierce on his shoulder while Xiao Lou screamed and hid behind the stone chair. The apprentices and the maid were killed on the spot together with the imperial physician.
”Kill those people!”
Xiao Lou was shivering behind the stone chair due to fear. She was very scared. Moments later, they heard the clashes of swords and screams coming from the palace hall where the birthday banquet was being held.
They knew that would not survive. XuanLi cursed his luck. His shoulder was in pain. It hurt so much. He did not want to die. He was preparing to run away but before he could stand up and flee, he realized the the surroundings were very quiet.
'Huh? Did… Did they left?'
