Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good Chapter 65.1 - Imminent Peril

Chapter 65.1: Imminent Peril

“My Lady, hurry……hurry and run!” Nanny Song rigidly wrapped her arms around that masked man’s leg even as her mouth overflowed with blood.

“You d.a.m.ned old hag. Get lost!” That masked man cursed, lifted his leg, and kicked Nanny Song away as his sword lifted and ferociously sliced at her back again. Nanny Song was no longer able to hold on and fell back down. After struggling a couple more times, she became motionless.

“Wet Nurse! Wet Nurse!” Luo Qing Luan felt as if her liver were cut to pieces when she saw this.

Wet Nurse, her wet nurse……why, why would she encounter something like this? Staring blankly as the closest person to her died tragically before her eyes, yet she was unable to do anything about it. At this time, she hated herself even more for not practicing martial arts. She had a head full of medical knowledge, yet it wasn’t of any use.

The masked man laughed evilly as he walked closer and closer. Seeing Luo Qing Luan standing there with a deathly pale complexion without running, he even thought that she’d been scared stiff. He laughed coldly then lifted his sword again.

“If you have to blame someone, then blame yourself for having offended somebody. Even after you die, don’t blame me. For every debt, there is a debtor. You can ask Yama, King of h.e.l.l when you see him!” After fiercely uttering these words, the sword s.h.i.+ned. Luo Qing Luan’s gaze narrowed, as she did all she could to dodge, then immediately stabbed her killer with a needle.

“Owww……” That masked man paused, immediately noticing something. He reached towards his own body and pulled out a needle. It’s precisely the needle that Luo Qing Luan had just stabbed with. His eyes immediately flashed murderously as he said coldly, “You dare to play tricks on me?”

Not good. The other person surprisingly was able to block her needle from penetrating. It would seem that his skill wasn’t simple.

Without an opportunity to stick in her needles at close range, yet unable to fire them from afar because she had no internal force, she could only make use of a special technique to try with difficulty. Sure enough, she failed. This was not the time to be resigned and dejected. Without having to think, Luo Qing Luan turned around and ran.

She wanted to keep on living. She wanted to take revenge for Nanny Song. She wanted to find the person behind the scenes!

Rus.h.i.+ng wildly with all her might, she simply didn’t care whether the ground was uneven or not. Luo Qing Luan really was a bit faster than most girls, but in the end, she was no match for a man. Moreover, she was wearing a long skirt, which was absolutely inconvenient to run in. The sound of clothes moving behind her already distinctly entered her ears. That masked man was like a cat playing with a mouse. Neither fast nor slow, he followed behind her, gaining on her bit by bit. He deliberately wanted to watch her sorry figure get scared out of her wits.

Stumbling, Luo Qing Luan fell down with a plop, following which her skirt was stepped on in place by someone.

“B*tch, why don’t you run. I want to see where you’re going to run off to……eh……”

He did not finish speaking when a strange voice was heard. The masked man’s eyes suddenly popped out, as if he discovered something shocking. Luo Qing Luan was startled as she saw his figure tottering on the verge of collapse, then fell down.

Behind his shoulder was shockingly a b.l.o.o.d.y hole, horrible to see.

Just when this masked man moaned painfully, in the distance, a burst of anxious voices arrived. Seven or eight stalwart men dressed as guards charged over and surrounded Luo Qing Luan as well as the masked man. The sound of another set of hoofs approached from afar very clearly and strikingly. Luo Qing Luan turned her head and saw a gallant black horse speeding along towards her. The figure on horseback became more and more distinct.

Nalan Ye!

His appearance was pure and handsome, radiating an intensely cold aura all over. Rus.h.i.+ng towards Luo Qing Luan’s side, he dismounted with a strong and fluid motion, then took large strides to arrive before her. After surveying their surroundings, his expression became increasingly profound as he frowned. “How did things turn out like this?”

He actually came?

Although Luo Qing Luan was very surprised, she also knew that she’s safe now. Suddenly recalling something, she ran towards the direction where Nanny Song fell. Even if she already had a premonition, when Luo Qing Luan saw the wet nurse who brought her up already thoroughly ceased to breathe, she still couldn’t help but turned ice-cold all over.

For the sake of saving her, her wet nurse had been killed!

Who in the world was the one who send these four people?

The heart-stricken Luo Qing Luan found herself simply unable to shed tears. Right now, she only had one thought. She must find the person behind the scenes.

Wet Nurse’s matter was handled by Nalan Ye’s people. Luo Qing Luan did not say anything as she followed Nalan Ye in returning to the capital. All along the road, no matter what Nalan Ye asked, she did not open her mouth. She did not say why she left the city and also didn’t say what kind of situation she encountered.

There were two masked men who had not died. She would pry the truth from their mouths.

……

Early evening when lanterns were first lit, night fell. After Luo Qing Luan bathed herself and changed, she didn’t return to the general’s mansion in the end.

This was the first time she came to the Prince of Chu’s Mansion. If this was any other time, she probably would be in the mood to slowly appreciate the view, or provide criticize. But tonight, she only had one thought, quickly find the truth.

The servant girl tasked with serving her went to call Nalan Ye. In a short time, Nalan Ye came.

“You’ve been startled tonight. I already sent people to the general’s mansion to tell your father that the empress kept you at the palace. There’s no harm in not going home. If you’re tired, you should have a good sleep. It’ll be better tomorrow.” He even thought that Luo Qing Luan was worried about these matters. Once Nalan Ye arrived, he consoled her.

“What about those two people?” Luo Qing Luan asked in a cold voice.

“What?” For a period of time, Nalan Ye still had not reacted.

As if her face was covered with a layer of frost, Luo Qing Luan articulated each word slowly and deliberately, “I asked you, what of the two people whom you brought back?”

He even thought she was asking about something else. Turned out it’s about this.

He didn’t think that she’d worry about these matters. She’s a girl, after all. Nalan Ye also already knew that the elderly lady who died was her wet nurse. No matter how much Luo Qing Luan grieved or felt unwell, he could still understand.
