The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1154

Chapter 1154: Chapter 977, The Calm Little Daozi

"Princess Consort, it’s terrible, the old master is injured!"

Daohua was discussing matters with the butler of the Prince Residence when she saw Guyu rushing in frantically, unable to hide the panic on her face, and quickly asked, "Who is injured?"

Guyu anxiously said, "It’s the old master. Dongli returned holding the blood-covered old master, saying they encountered desert bandits, and the Little Prince... the Little Prince..."

Daohua stood up abruptly, her heart suddenly leapt to her throat, "What happened to Daozi?" Her voice trembled as she spoke.

Guyu announced, "The Little Prince has been kidnapped by the desert bandits!"

On hearing this, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he was just captured. Then, like a gust of wind, she dashed out of the room and ran straight to Gu Jian’s courtyard.

"Master!"

Seeing Gu Jian lying on the bed with a pale face and an arrow still stuck in his back, Daohua’s body swayed: "Quick, go inform Prince Xiao Yeyang and bring Doctor Ge from the bureau back to the residence."

Gu Jian, upon seeing Daohua, forced himself to sit up despite the wound, his face and eyes full of urgency: "Daozi, save Daozi quickly!"

It was his fault for not looking after Daozi. If something happened to Daozi, even sacrificing his old life would not be enough.

Seeing fresh blood beginning to seep from the wound on Gu Jian’s back again, Dongli and Caiju both had faces full of shock and horror.

Daohua steadied her mind, forced herself to calm down, quickly went forward to help Gu Jian back down, and comforted him, "Master, I have already sent someone to notify Xiao Yeyang. Daozi will be alright."

Gu Jian’s face was full of regret, pounding the bed with self-reproach, "I shouldn’t have taken Daozi out of the city. I should not have done it!"

Daohua, worrying Gu Jian might aggravate his injury, signaled Caiju to hold him down, and recalling what Xiao Yeyang had told her last night, hurriedly said, "Master, don’t panic, for the time being, Daozi will not be in danger."

"Truly, the desert bandits wouldn’t dare to confront the Prince Residence directly. Their kidnapping of Daozi is probably just to rescue the people that were arrested by the bureau. Rest assured, Xiao Yeyang and I will definitely rescue Daozi."

Gu Jian gradually calmed down, and not long after, Xiao Yeyang arrived with the panting Doctor Ge.

Seeing Daohua with red-rimmed eyes from worry, Xiao Yeyang gave her a reassuring glance and let Doctor Ge tend to Gu Jian first.

After Doctor Ge used the Powder for Anesthesia, Gu Jian passed out within moments.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, "Don’t worry, don’t fret, I am going immediately with the cavalry to Wuhu Village to rescue Daozi. I won’t let anything happen to our son."

At this moment, Daohua couldn’t hold back anymore; tears spilled from her eyes as she trembled, "Then go quickly, I will look after the Master here. You must bring our son back safely."

Xiao Yeyang nodded solemnly, and once Doctor Ge had successfully removed the arrow from Gu Jian’s back, he turned and walked out.

"I’ll go with you. I heard that Wuhu Village is easy to defend but hard to attack. If I come along, I might be able to help."

Chu Lang stepped forward, handing the panicked Guo Ruomei over to a maid for support.

Xiao Yeyang nodded, "Thank you."

Chu Lang responded, "Let’s go, saving someone is urgent."

Watching the two leave, Daohua then turned her gaze to Dongli, kneeling in the courtyard.

Dongli was covered in wounds, his clothes soaked in blood, but he did not seek medical attention and instead insisted on kneeling there.

Daohua asked, "...What exactly happened?"

Dongli quickly recounted the events.

"This afternoon, the old master saw how joyful the Little Prince was riding a horse, and on a whim wanted to gallop outside the city. I was negligent, thinking as long as we didn’t go too far from the city, nothing would happen, so I didn’t return to the residence to bring the bodyguards."

"We’d barely left the city when we were surrounded by desert bandits. There were more than twenty of them—I was tied up, and while the old master was fleeing with the Little Prince, he was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse."

"That’s when the Little Prince was captured by the desert bandits."

"Princess Consort, it’s my incompetence that allowed the Little Prince to be kidnapped."

At that time, the old master had ordered him to save the Little Prince, but seeing the old master seriously injured, he feared delaying treatment would lead to tragedy, so he brought the old master back to the residence first.

Daohua took a deep breath, gestured for Dongli to go tend to his wounds, and then went inside to check on Gu Jian’s condition.

"Doctor Ge, my master will be alright, won’t he?"

Ge Xun stated, "Luckily the wound isn’t deep, and it hasn’t hit any vital spots, but the old master is advanced in age, and it’s feared he will need some time to recover from this injury."

Daohua said, "I would trouble Doctor Ge to stay at the residence for a couple more days."

Ge Xun nodded, "That’s only right."

That night, Daohua stayed by Gu Jian’s side the entire night, only returning to the main courtyard when she was sure Gu Jian’s condition had stabilized. Upon her return, she had someone call for Yan Shouhou.

"Send someone to gather information about Wuhu Village right away, the more detailed, the better."
