Chapter 177 - That Is My Brother! My Sibling!

    <h4>Chapter 177 That Is My Brother! My Sibling!</h4>


    She only ran for a couple of feet and someone who sensed that something was wrong already starteding this way.


    But they were all covered up by the poisonous fog, so when the back-up came, they couldn’t surround the assassins and kill them. They could only go into the fog to search.


    After a while, Jiang Yashuang whose one sleeve was covered by blood supported the dying Qiu Jinn out of the fog that was starting to get thinner.


    Qiu Yn, who was waiting anxiously felt like all her blood had rushed into her head when she saw the two bolts in Qiu Jinn’s chest.


    She didn’t know how she walked to them and helped Jiang Yashuang hold Qiu Jinn. She could only hear her voice asking, “Will he die?”


    She was surprised by how steady her voice was. It was calm and collected.


    Jiang Yashuang looked at her and frowned lightly. He thought for a while and said, “I don’t know. Only the doctor can...”


    “Yashuang, are you hurt too?!” Princess Yongfu had been squatting in front of Ou Qinn, trying to wake her up. No one knew when she came over. She pointed at his sleeve surprisingly, “How bad is it? Were you poisoned? Are you ok?”


    The princess asked a string of questions at once. Jiang Yashuang could only reply, “I’m fine. I just got scraped by a bolt.”


    “There’s poison on that bolt!” Princess Yongfu’s expression immediately changed after hearing Jiang Yashuang. She scolded angrily, “You idiots! Go find the imperial doctor! Go find some Detoxication Pills! Why are you all just standing there?!”


    “Carry him into the room!” At the same time, Qiu Yn wiped away her tears that were justing out. She choked with sobs while ordering the servants, “Go get the doctor. And is there any Detoxication Pill that can be used? Get it here...”


    Jiang Yashuang watched her losing her calm. Since they came out of the fog, Qiu Yn’s sole attention was on Qiu Jinn. She didn’t even notice Jiang Yashuang’s bloody sleeve. He didn’t know how to feel.


    But he didn’t say anything. He put Qiu Jinn on the door nk that the Ruan Family’s servants carried over. He just stood up when he saw Qiu Yn staggering. He immediately held her, “Watch out!”


    When he grabbed her hand, he was startled. Her palm was wet and slippery. He didn’t even need to see it to know that was blood. And he knew it was probably not Qiu Jinn’s blood.


    Jiang Yashuang didn’t say anything and just took over her hand to look. Qiu Yn’s palm indeed had four pinch marks like crescent moons and blood was gushing out of it.


    “You...” No matter how tolerant Jiang Yashuang was, he finally got angry after seeing this. He quickly tore off a piece of his clothes and wrapped her hand. He looked serious and wanted to say something, but Qiu Yn tried to break off to follow Qiu Jinn. When she couldn’t, she finally realized Jiang Yashuang was grabbing her. She didn’t realize he was taking care of her wounds. She just thought he was jealous that she cared for Qiu Jinn more. Qiu Yn turned her head back fiercely. She stared at him for a second and said word by word, “That is my brother. Former Young Prince of the Duke of Xihe, Qiu Jinn. Do you know that?!”


    “What?” Jiang Yashuang was dazed.


    He was surprised but he didn’t let go. Qiu Yn still couldn’t go. She thought he didn’t believe it. With all the emotions raging in her heart, she finally couldn’t hold it any longer and started screaming, “That’s my brother! We have the same father and mother! Do you understand?! Let me go!!!”


    Jiang Yashuang let go of her at a loss. He watched her unsteadily chasing after Qiu Jinn. After a while, he mumbled, “Brother?”


    “Former Young Prince of the Duke of Xihe?” Princess Yongfu was startled. She said surprisingly, “He faked his death?”


    “No wonder he was nice to Lan...” Jiang Yashuang felt so embarrassed at this moment, “No wonder Lan listens to him. He is not an illegitimate grandson of General Ruan that was lost! It’s just a cover-up! He is the brother of Lan! I was just blind! Howe I didn’t see something this obvious!”


    He was wondering why Qiu Yn had known him for this long, yet she always defended Qiu Jinn. They were siblings!


    How couldn’t she be partial to her sibling?!


    Thinking about how he treated Qiu Jinn as apetitor, negotiated with him, and threatened to make him leave the city, Jiang Yashuang was so embarrassed that he felt likemitting suicide right now.


    Princess Yongfu looked weirdly. She reminded him, “You don’t have time for all this! Go find the imperial doctor now!”


    “Yeah, you’re right!” Jiang Yashuang immediately walked out, “I need to get the imperial doctor here now. I hope he can still save Ruan... No, Lan’s brother!”


    “I was saying that your arm is also injured!” Princess Yongfu felt speechless. She was surprised by Qiu Jinn’s identity, but she was only a bit angry that Qiu Yn was too close to Qiu Jinn. When it came to Qiu Jinn and Jiang Yashuang’s safety, she naturally only cared about theter, “Go finds an imperial doctor to take care of you!”


    But Jiang Yashuang didn’t have the mind to take care of himself now. He didn’t feel like there was a poison acting up, so he just left the Ruan’s Mansion to find an imperial doctor to save Qiu Jinn. Just looking at how Qiu Jinn adored Qiu Yn, if he died, Qiu Yn probably wouldn’t be able to take it!


    Things like this happened in the Ruan’s Mansion. Words naturally came to the Pce very soon.


    Empress Jiang, who was arguing with Empress Dowager Gu changed her countenance for fear after hearing the news. She immediately jumped up and ordered, “Send the Imperial Army there! Make sure to bring back Yongfu and Yashuang safe and sound!!!”


    The Empress grabbed the golden vessel that was filled with fine wine and crashed it on the brick in front of Empress Dowager Gu. She said furiously, “If anything happened to my child, I would kill all the killer’s children and grandchildren as a sacrifice!”


    Empress Dowager Gu, who came specifically to question why Princess Yongfu and others left the Pce now looked calm, “Yongfu is a lucky girl. You gave her the title of ‘Yongfu (Forever Luck)’, didn’t you? Just sit down and wait for the news. I don’t think anything will happen to her. You’re an Empress. Be more patient!”


    Empress Jiang looked at her eerily, “I hope it is as you said. Otherwise...”


    Empress Dowager Gu knew she was trying her best to contain herself, so she didn’t want to keep provoking the Empress. She then turned her head around and started talking with Princess Changping. The hall was full of people. Except for the Empress Dowager, everyone else was terrified.


    The royal princes and princesses were especially frightened. No matter how much they envied Princess Yongfu, they all hoped that she would be fine at this moment. Except for Empress Dowager Gu, who dared attack the only precious daughter of Empress Jiang?


    Empress Jiang said that she would kill the killer’s children and grandchildren. That was talking about them!


    All of a sudden, the hall that was loud and lively fell deadly silent.


    When people in Beijue Hall were waiting anxiously for the update, Jiang Yashuang finally brought Dr. Qi into Qiu Jinn’s inner chamber.


    Ruan Ciyi, who came after hearing the news had passed out twice. She had fallen ill during thest engagement. In the past two years, she couldn’t eat any meat during her recovery, so she was still very weak. Hearing that her only dependence might die, she was dazed.


    The talk that was going all over the Mansion, saying that the young master was not the General’s blood but his nephew, who was actually the sibling of Commandery Princess Ningyi was ignored by her. She just waited by Qiu Jinn’s bedside, grabbing his hand tightly and wouldn’t let go.


    “Ciyi, please step aside. Let the imperial doctor see him!” Qiu Yn was actually no better than her, but at least she kept a sense of rity. Seeing Jiang Yashuang leading Qi Shuluo in, she immediately came over and pulled Ruan Ciyi away.


    Qi Shuluo knew this was urgent. He didn’t care for small talks. He calmed himself down by taking some heavy breaths. Then he started diagnosing.


    Qiu Yn and the others didn’t even dare to breathe!


    It was like a million yearster when Qi Shuluo finally stood up.


    “Dr. Qi?” Qiu Yn and Ruan Ciyi asked simultaneously. They couldn’t hide their trembling voice.


    “Luckily, the poison will not kill him.” Qi Shuluo contemted for a while and gave a piece of good news.


    The whole room rxed.


    “But...” The whole room was intense again after this single word!


    Qi Shuluo looked serious, “One bolt scratched the side of his heart. I suspect that it could have shot his heart. But young master Ruan contracted his heart after sensing the danger, so he barely avoided the bolt. So... I can’t be a hundred percent sure!”


    “How sure are you?” Qiu Yn asked with a sobbing tone.


    Qi Shuluo thought for a while and said, “I don’t know.” He opened his kit, “First, let’s take off the bolt.”


    The young servant who came with him asked all women to leave, so they could take off Qiu Jinn’s clothes.


    Qiu Yn staggered out of the door. Sheforted Ruan Ciyi who was on the edge of a breakdown for a while before she realized that Jiang Yashuang was standing behind her. He was still wearing the clothes he wore when they were attacked. The bloodstain on the sleeve had turned ck.


    Looking at his pale face and the sweat on his forehead, Qiu Yn was also startled, “Why haven’t you patch up your wounds?”


    Jiang Yashuang barely smiled, “It’s okay. When I went to find Dr. Qi, he saw it. He said the poison was not strong. People that are strong like me can just hold through it.”


    Even though Qiu Yn was worrying about Qiu Jinn, she dazed for a second. She asked, “This poison... Is it from the bolt?”


    “Yes.” Jiang Yashuang knew why she was surprised. He said, “I found it odd too. Those two assassins were clearly Men of Sacrifice. They were ready to risk everything to kill Ruan... your brother. And they’ve been on his tail for some days. Otherwise, they couldn’t get this opportunity. Under this situation, the poisonous fog they prepared and the poison they put on the bolt were knockout incense and mildly poisonous. It feels like someone swapped their poisons!”


    Qiu Yn mumbled, “Yeah. What’s going on?!”


    She guessed a shadow man of Tianya swapped the poison. Because the fact that the fog was not poisonous could be exined as considerations that killing Princess Yongfu and Jiang Yashuang by ident may lead to Empress Jiang and the Jiang Family’s rage. As for the bolt that went after Qiu Jinn, it should have some highly toxic poison that would kill him instantly!


    But the question was since the shadow man swapped the poison into unharmful ones, why couldn’t he alert Qiu Jinn to avoid this crisis?


    “That’s right. I came to the Ruan Family all of a sudden. I didn’t notify anyone. The servant who pretended to be Empress Jiang’s man took this chance to help us. He was also improvising!” Qiu Yn suddenly figured it out, “So the shadow man didn’t have time to notify us. He could only swap the poison to buy brother a chance. Will the shadow man be exposed after doing this?!”


    In this second, her remorse was ineffable, “Why am I so stupid?! I came to brother so recklessly just for one sentence said by Princess Yongfu. I not only forced brother to expose his identity to the Jiang Family but also pushed him into this near-death situation. Now his life is at risk and it’s all my fault!”


    Jiang Yashuang was waiting for her analysis. Suddenly he saw her bing sluggish. Then tears fell down her cheeks. He panicked, “Don’t worry. Qi Shuluo is quite good. Your brother is also strong. He would be fine... Don’t cry... Don’t cry!”


    When he wasforting her, Qiu Yn suddenly wobbled and fell right on the ground!
