Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1013: Injured

“Who knows what they have in their hands, they have been at the residence all this time!” the beloved concubine pleaded as she tugged on his sleeve.

County Magistrate Sun, after hearing this, finally made up his mind and waved his hand.

Suddenly, twenty individuals in the common attire of guards but with much superior skills appeared in the dark night.

Eunuch Ren and Ye Muyu saw this group appear and a faint smile crossed their faces.

Unfortunately, County Magistrate Sun didn’t see it.

“Eunuch, have the people really arrived?”

“Soon, Eunuch Ren has the token from the Emperor, Minister Lin must come, if he does not, it would be defiance.” Eunuch Ren had not expected that he would need to use the token, and before he left home, he had not thought these people would be so arrogant.

But thinking that “the mountains are high and the Emperor is far away,” it’s likely there are officials in other places who are just as arrogant.

Although he was furious, he had no way to change the situation, after all, he was just a eunuch and could only hope for more officials like Chu Heng.

Emperor Mingzong had always been benevolent, and Eunuch Ren, even though he was an eunuch, lived better than those during the previous emperor’s reign.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

In the midst of a fight.

A drumming sound came from afar.

County Magistrate Sun was already anxious because he had called out all his private guards, yet he was still unable to deal with Eunuch Ren’s group.

Now, hearing the drum, his whole face turned pale.

“What’s happening?” he grabbed another steward beside him.

The steward was also puzzled: “I don’t know, my lord.”

“Go check it out first.” County Magistrate Sun felt uneasy.

Soon, the person he sent out came back, “My… my lord, it’s bad, the prefect of Yuzhou is here.”

“What?”

“Quick, let’s retreat.” County Magistrate Sun hurriedly called for the private guards to leave.

Ye Muyu didn’t know when she had retreated back to the inn’s lobby, and one private guard who was chasing to kill her entered the inn as well, swinging his sword at her. Ye Muyu dodged.

Unexpectedly, the private guard had a sleeve arrow hidden, shooting it directly at her chest.

Ye Muyu couldn’t dodge in time and could only raise her hand to block with a bamboo tube from the table.

The bamboo tube shattered with a snap, and Chunqin seeing this cried out. She only had time to knock the private guard unconscious, while Ye Muyu felt a pain in her chest and staggered back several steps, eventually crashing into the counter and stopping, feeling an intense pain in her chest.

“Madam, are you alright?” Chunqin’s face turned pale with fright, and she instinctively tried to pull out the arrow feather from her chest.

“First, hide that private guard, then go find a doctor.” Ye Muyu sat down with a thud, not daring to move the wound carelessly.

Chunqin knew both tasks were important and didn’t dare delay, so he could only go find Eunuch Ren to help find a doctor, while he took the unconscious private guard away. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Oh heavens.” Eunuch Ren saw her injury, his face turning white: “Madam Chu, please wait, Eunuch Ren has already called for a doctor.”

“Okay, I’m fine.” Ye Muyu smiled weakly, but it was from pain. She knew she had not injured her organs, but excessive blood loss could still be dangerous. Fortunately, Eunuch Ren was prepared, and the fight outside had already ended.

Soon, the doctor was brought over, and Ye Muyu had already lost quite a bit of blood.

Eunuch Ren found a strong maid to take Ye Muyu back to her room upstairs. After the doctor removed the arrow feather and treated the wound, Ye Muyu’s face was already pale as snow.

“Eunuch, you go and attend to the Prefect,” Ye Muyu said as she saw Eunuch Ren pacing anxiously back and forth in the room.
