Seeing the imperial physicians surrounding Xuanyuan Chen, Shen Haoxuan knew that he wouldn't be able to help much even if he were to stay here. He consciously left the imperial physician's encirclement and saw the Emperor Xuanyuan and Queen Zhangsun standing not far away from him.
Calming himself down, he walked towards the Emperor Xuanyuan.
"Your majesty, this subject has something to say. I wonder if Your Majesty can give this subject a chance?" Shen Haoxuan straightened his body in front of the Emperor Xuanyuan and spoke neither haughtily nor humbly.
Emperor Xuanyuan was startled, he knew that this was a capable assistant beside Xuanyuan Chen. Whether it was on the surface or in private, all of Xuanyuan Chen's accounts were handled by this person.
Although he had warned Xuanyuan Chen before, at that time, Xuanyuan Chen had assured him of his trust in Shen Haoxuan, which was why Emperor Xuanyuan did not continue investigating.
Now that he saw that this gentle and refined young man could still maintain a calm and tranquil state of mind under his imposing aura, he could not help but look at him more closely. The more he looked, the more he felt that Xuanyuan Chen's helper was truly convincing.
"Sure." Emperor Xuanyuan nodded and brought Shen Haoxuan to Xuanyuan Chen's study room.
This was the first time that the Emperor Xuanyuan had come to Xuanyuan Chen's new mansion. This crown prince's mansion was prepared for Xuanyuan Rui all those years ago, but ever since Xuanyuan Rui passed away, this manor had always been empty.
After knowing that Xuanyuan Chen had become the crown prince, this courtyard was also empty, hence, he had picked up a readily available piece for Xuanyuan Chen to use as a mansion.
Old Meng led the servants and guards of the Prince Chen's Mansion to clean up the new crown prince's mansion, then began the long journey to wait for Xuanyuan Chen to return from the Mo Bei.
But unfortunately, the first time Xuanyuan Chen stayed here, he was heavily injured and looked unconscious.
Emperor Xuanyuan carefully sized up this study, its layout almost no different from Prince Chen's Mansion's. His fingers slowly caressed the flat piece of Xuan paper on the table. Seeing the respectful and courteous Shen Haoxuan in front of him, the authority belonging to the Son of Heaven gradually pressured onto Shen Haoxuan.
He said indifferently: "If you have anything to say, Young Master Shen, please speak your mind. It's very safe here. "
Facing the aura being emitted from Emperor Xuanyuan's body, Shen Haoxuan's back was already covered in a thin layer of cold sweat. However, he tightly clenched his hands which were hidden under his sleeves, preventing himself from revealing even the slightest trace of fear.
"Your majesty, I'm afraid that we can no longer conceal the fact that His Highness the crown prince is seriously injured." Shen Haoxuan's respectful and serious eyes revealed a little helplessness.
"What's going on?" Emperor Xuanyuan asked.
The question he asked was not only directed at Xuanyuan Chen, but also at the reason why he was injured and the person who injured him.
Shen Haoxuan was not stupid, in the next moment he understood what Emperor Xuanyuan meant.
He cupped his hands in a gesture of a martial artist. Lowering his head, he said, "The culprit who harmed His Highness the Crown Prince. We still don't have any clue, but their goal is to get rid of His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
"His Highness the Crown Prince is seriously injured. In order to distract the soldiers, the Crown Princess is using me as a bait. I am afraid she is in a very bad situation right now." "This commoner hopes that the Emperor can send people to all the cities to keep an eye on the princess' movements and protect her safety."
"I promise you." Now, can Young Master Shen tell me who the culprit is? " Emperor Xuanyuan stared at the young man in front of him. The young man's expression was respectful, serious and resolute.
Shen Haoxuan stared fixedly at the Emperor Xuanyuan, and pursed his lips: "Currently, the only one we can be certain of is Wu Huan Mo Yun, but this commoner feels that Wu Huan is not the only power participating."
Emperor Xuanyuan twirled his finger, and said indifferently: "Let Young Master Shen handle this matter. "If you need any help, feel free to speak to me."
After all, the one who was heavily injured was his Chen Er, the future hope of the Heavenly Sage. He no longer had the time and experience to nurture a new heir.
"Thank you, your majesty."
Shen Haoxuan and Emperor Xuanyuan returned to Xuanyuan Chen's room once again. Queen Zhangsun was already sitting on the edge of Xuanyuan Chen's bed.
"How is Chen Er?" Emperor Xuanyuan asked.
Queen Zhangsun tucked Xuanyuan Chen in, his eyes slightly reddened, and the tip of his throat seemed to have been strangled by something, making him unable to say a single word.
The old imperial physician passed the written prescription to Shen Haoxuan and answered Emperor Xuanyuan's question, "Your majesty, although the injuries on the back of His Highness the crown prince are severe, they are not to the point of harming his heart and lungs. It will take at least half a month to recuperate. "
"The gauze on the back of His Highness the Crown Prince needs to be changed once every two days. The Gold Sore Medicine will be applied once a day." After His Highness has woken up, he will take the medicine according to the prescription. Three times per day, take it on time. "
The old imperial physician finished giving his instructions before leaving with the medicine box.
Immediately after, Queen Zhangsun instructed Shen Haoxuan to take care of Xuanyuan Chen, and then followed him out of the crown prince's mansion.
Shen Haoxuan rubbed his aching forehead, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip. He looked at the Vermillion Bird that was seated on the other side of the table with anxiousness written all over its face.
"Vermillion Bird, what news have you had these past few months?" Shen Haoxuan asked.
The Vermillion Bird was the only female out of the four dark guards, but her mission was much more dangerous and more important than the other three, so she was practically not by Xuanyuan Chen's side protecting him.
Originally, she was ordered to investigate the location of the treasure map and the location of the legendary Ancient Kingdom. These were all tasks given to her by Xie Qingrong.
Returning to the capital, only then did he find out about the news of Xuanyuan Chen's severe injuries from the Black Tortoise's mouth.
Now, facing Shen Haoxuan's question, the Vermillion Bird shook its head lightly. "Young Master Shen, I only found a little clue. The sudden appearance of the treasure map was indeed abnormal. Moreover, Ancient Kingdom has already completely disappeared from the eyes of the common folk within the span of a hundred years. It would not be easy to find any clues. "
"Your subordinate's abilities are limited, and I was unable to complete the mission. I have hopes and dreams of losing master, and I hope that Young Master Shen can punish me."
Shen Haoxuan lowered his eyes. He did not have any expression towards the Vermillion Bird's words. He did not have any intention to punish it nor did he have any intention to continue pursuing the matter.
He said flatly, "I know. The Vermillion Bird, before His Highness the Crown Prince wakes up and the Crown Princess comes back, you should go to the profound mechanism to temporarily replace Black Tortoise. "
The White Tiger and Azure Dragon were still guarding the Jiang Prefecture on Xie Qingrong's behalf, they couldn't be distracted or make any mistakes while the Black Tortoise protected Xie Qingrong on Xie Qingrong's side.
Moreover, those well-trained secret guards seemed to have failed, and it would take a lot of effort and effort to re-cultivate them. With the help of the Vermillion Bird, the burden and responsibilities he would have would be a lot easier.
After arranging everything, Shen Haoxuan looked at Xuanyuan Chen who was still lying unconscious on the bed. His face was pale white, revealing a frail look, he let out a long sigh.
