Chapter 491: Her medical pouch

To the Han Estate?

Chu Xifeng almost cried at her words! He wanted to coax her otherwise, but he didn't have a clue how. He debated going back to tell His Highness Duke of Qin, but hesitated.

Currently, there was a crowd of people outside the brothel, from civilians to soldiers. Countless pairs of eyes were watching them. If he agitated esteemed wangfei and failed to persuade her home, then she just might lose her temper right here and become a laughingstock for the crowd. But if he went back to report the news, His Highness Duke of Qin's current mental state might just snap. If he lost control and ran out to force esteemed wangfei home and then Gu Qishao decided to meddle, then it wouldn't just be a laughing matter, but a full blown rumor of a love triangle instead!

Although Gu Qishao had been severely injured and covered in bandages, he still hadn't been wearing a shirt. Of course, esteemed wangfei had done it because of an emergency. That didn't matter in the large scheme of things, especially since the patient only exposed his upper body. But this was none other than a brothel! It was a very sensitive location!

Gu Qishao had followed Han Yunxi out of the brothel, making many people curious as to how he'd saved esteemed wangfei, how long they'd been together, when the assassins had fled, and why esteemed wangfei hadn't called for any sort of help. Once they started probing into those questions, they'd probably make all sorts of guesses, which would then grow into slanders of their own. Chu Xifeng knew that the best decision now was to make esteemed wangfei and Gu Qishao disappear from the crowd as quickly as possible. It would be better to divert their attention to the assassins instead, since the main culprits were still missing in action!

He was about to act when a movement came from within the crowd.

"Qi gege! Qi gege, what happened to you?"

"Qi gege, who hurt you? Qi gege!"

Mu Linger squeezed her way to the front until the guards blocked her way. She had heard about Han Yunxi's troubles that morning over at the inn, so she ran over here to help search. After all, Han Yunxi had saved her life once, so she should pay her back. But instead, she met her beloved Qi gege instead, and he was heavily injured at that!

Other people might not be able to tell, but as a genius of the medical community, she realized at a glance that Qi gege's wounds were frighteningly severe. Both his back and front had to have been hurt; otherwise, he wouldn't be bandaged up all over. Gu Qishao and Han Yunxi were both surprised to see Mu Linger suddenly appear. Chu Xifeng was even more stunned, even as he cursed in his heart, Shoot, we're screwed!

With Mu Linger around, there's sure to be a commotion!

When Mu Linger noticed Gu Qishao looking at her, she grew even more anxious. Tears fell from her face as she thrust aside the guards holding her back to leap towards him. One of the officials lost his temper and wanted to capture her again, but was silenced with a single glare from Han Yunxi. Mu Linger saw the wounds on Gu Qishao's back as soon as she drew near. Because the wounds had been aggravated, they now seemed to be bleeding nonstop. She circled around him in panic, at a loss for what to do. She had waited so long and so bitterly for him, searching for him all over the place, only to finally find him and see him seriously hurt.

Gu Qishao more or less ignored her. He was going to remind Han Yunxi to leave quickly when Mu Linger suddenly exclaimed angrily, "Han Yunxi, it's your fault again!"

The crowd grew silent at her words.

Han Yunxi was already feeling dejected, so she had no energy to deal with Mu Linger's accusation. She lowered her voice and told Gu Qishao, "Hurry and go find Imperial Physician Gu to take care of the wounds. I owe you this time."
