As soon as the door opened, Zhou Huaiming’s head appeared in front of Zhou Ying as he asked anxiously, “Sister Zhou, what’s going on? Why isn’t there any movement at all?”
“What do you want?” Zhou Ying was surprised by his sudden appearance and asked.
“Even though His Highness is unconscious now, he should still cry out in pain when pulling out an arrow.”
“Rui used anesthesia, so it shouldn’t hurt. Besides, the arrow wasn’t pulled out by force. We cut open the wound and took it out gently.”
Zhou Huaiming was stunned by her reply before he went forward to check.
The arrow in King Rui’s chest was gone. Besides his pale face, he didn’t seem to be in any discomfort.
He reached out and touched King Rui’s forehead. After confirming that he still had a low fever, he turned his head and asked, “Brother Gu, when will this fever go down? If it continues, would it cause more problems?”
“The fever is caused by the arrow that was left in the body. It’s normal.
“Now that the arrow is out, the fever should retreat in about four hours.”
“It shouldn’t be. Their losses are too heavy.” Zhou Huaiming replied thoughtfully.
Gu Chengrui did not say anything else after hearing that.
He turned to Zhou Ying and said, “Ying, you must be tired. Go and rest. I’m afraid I’ll have to stay here all night.”
“Alright, if you need help, come and find me.” Zhou Ying replied and turned around, heading back to her room upstairs.
Meanwhile, Zhou Huaiming immediately sent someone in to clean up the blood. He also asked Gu Chengrui about the recent events in the capital.
At noon, Gu Chenglin woke up. He was stunned when he saw the furnishings in the room before remembering what had happened before he fainted and sat up immediately.
Zhou Ying was sitting at the table, reading a book while eating pastries. Gu Chenglin went forward and asked, “Cousin-in-law, where are we? Why are we here?”
“This is an inn.” Zhou Ying then briefly told him what happened after he fainted.
“What? Brother-in-law was injured? Is he unconscious? No, I have to go and take a look!”
“Your cousin is guarding the prince, and you should stay here obediently. You can go over when he wakes up.” Zhou Ying quickly grabbed him and stopped him.
Gu Chenglin hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he sat back down. It was useless for him to go over now, and he might even cause trouble.
Thinking of this, he recalled getting knocked out.. He looked at Zhou Ying and asked with an aggrieved expression, “Cousin-in-law, why did you knock me out back there?”
