Yan Yuan's footsteps were a little shaky, but he still held onto Liu Ruo Qing's hand and did not loosen her grip.
Imperial study –
"Your Majesty, Prince Jing, he … He went to the marble temple's Sky Prison. "
Yan Shuo's action paused, he raised his head and looked at the servant Wang De, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
Sixth Uncle just told him that Ninth Uncle was heavily injured, and asked him to rest in the Palace for a few days. Only then did he agree, and Ninth Uncle ran off to the marble temple?
He didn't even need to ask to know what that person wanted to do in marble temple.
He pinched the center of his brows tightly. Because of the matter of the Tang and Li Families being killed, he was constantly being harassed by officials every day. He was so tired that he wanted to drop everything and find someone to be the Kaiser.
He raised his hand and waved it towards Wang De, "Pass down the order, Prince Jing is injured, no one is allowed to fight with him."
"Yes."
Wang De knew clearly in his heart that the Emperor's order, although he did not explicitly ask Prince Jing to take Crown Princess Jing away, was not to let the Imperial Guards fight with the Prince Jing, but to let them watch as the Crown Princess Jing was taken away by the Prince Jing.
He was afraid that the king would be pestered by the officials again tomorrow.
As for those scholars and ordinary citizens …
Wang De shook his head and sighed in his heart. These things were not something that he, a mere servant, could worry about.
With Kaiser's orders, the Imperial Guards didn't dare to make a move on Yan Yuan, and could only watch as he brought Liu Ruo Qing back to the King Jing Palace from the marble temple.
Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Duke Palace, Yan Yuan staggered and directly fell onto the ground.
The pool of blood on his chest left a bright red mark on the ground.
"Yan Yuan!"
Liu Ruo Qing walked up, and with a panicked expression, she helped Yan Yuan up, and said to the butler who had rushed over: "Quick, quickly call Mr. Lu over."
"Mr. Lu is currently treating the First Prince in the palace. This old servant will send someone over right away."
The steward was also shocked by the situation in front of him. The smell of the blood was so strong that he was scared. How much blood had the king lost?
But from the looks of it, the prince didn't seem to have experienced a fierce battle in the palace.
The butler did not dare think too much into it, and at the same time as he sent someone to the palace to find Lu Yuan He, he also sent another person to ask for a doctor for emergency treatment.
Not long after he sent someone to the palace to invite Lu Yuan He in, another person returned with a doctor.
The doctor looked at Yan Yuan's wound and was shocked at the degree of his laceration. "How is it, Doctor?"
"Damn …" This humble one will first bandage the wounds of the prince. "
Yan Yuan raised his hand, stopping the doctor's movements. The doctor, seeing this, did not dare move, but stood anxiously at the side. Liu Ruo Qing, however, became anxious.
"Let the doctor first bandage the wound and then wait for Mr. Lu to come back. Is there a difference?"
Liu Ruo Qing could not bear to see Yan Yuan's shocking wound. Just what kind of weapon could injure his own body to this extent, as if it had been ripped open by someone's bare hands.
Yan Yuan lightly patted the back of Liu Ruo Qing's hand and gently comforted him: "This wound is a little strange, I think it's best to let this Mr. Lu see it first."
He did not tell Liu Ruo Qing about the poison. Dong Dan died, and he did not know if this poison could be cured. For the time being, he did not want Qing Er to worry about him.
"Butler, send the doctor away."
Although the steward was also worried, since the prince had already spoken, he could only obey.
After sending the doctor off, the butler returned and met Nuo Lan and Xi Ya.
"Your Highness."
The butler stepped forward and bowed.
"I heard that Xiao Jiu's wound has split open again?"
Again?
The butler suddenly looked at Nuo Lan and asked, "Princess, do you know what happened to the Prince's injury?"
Nuo Lan nodded his head, and said: "Xi Ya might have a way, you bring us to Xiao Jiu to take a look."
The Housekeeper Xu looked at Xi Ya subconsciously. Xi Ya, who had been reprimanded by Nuo Lan earlier, became a little more obedient. He didn't act so arrogantly towards the butler from the start, he merely stood next to Nuo Lan.
The butler hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head, "Your Highness, Miss Xi Ya, please follow this old servant."
Nuo Lan nodded and indicated for the butler to leave first. He stood beside Xi Ya and said in a low voice: "If you really have a way to cure Xiao Jiu's injury, Mother can let you try. If not, it's best if you don't take advantage of this matter and get close to Xiao Jiu."
Who knew that Nuo Lan would be so frank, Xi Ya's face suddenly turned white, and his ears started to become red.
"Mama, how can you say that?"
Nuo Lan's expression did not change, "I was the one who brought you up, I know very well what you are thinking."
Not giving Xi Ya a chance to refute, she walked forward, "Let's go."
Xi Ya's face showed a trace of coldness. Gritting her teeth, she suppressed the anger in her heart and followed them towards the East Garden.
She really wanted to ask Nuo Lan what he wanted to stop her for, and she immediately heard from him: "Before entering someone else's room, you must first ask for their permission, this is a rule."
Xi Ya's face suddenly darkened. Looking at Nuo Lan's eyes, she was obviously saying that she was uneducated and had no rules.
Although she felt indignant in her heart, at this moment, she could only endure and say, "Yes."
Looking at this huge courtyard, Xi Ya's eyes were filled with envy. She thought to herself, If one day she could enter this place, how great it would be!
Even though the courtyard that she was currently living in was completely different from those unremarkable wooden houses that were in Miao Village, the greed in Xi Ya's eyes was obvious.
Not long after entering, the butler came out, "Your Highness, Miss Xi Ya, after you."
Xi Ya followed Nuo Lan into the room. At first glance, she saw the nervous Liu Ruo Qing sitting beside Yan Yuan, but her eyes flashed.
When Liu Ruo Qing saw them, she was stunned for a moment. Just now, the butler came over to report that the princess requested an audience. She thought that it was Yan Chang, but why did these two unfamiliar women become the butler's princesses?
[Which princess is the steward talking about?]
Liu Ruo Qing's gaze swept over Nuo Lan and her daughter's face without batting an eyelid, seeing their movements, it was obvious that this older woman looked a little more like them.
But in the royal family, when had there ever been an elderly princess like her?
Liu Ruo Qing's gaze turned to Xi Ya again. She did not look like him, she was looking at Xi Ya's colleague, and Xi Ya coincidentally was sizing her up, their gazes clashing, causing Xi Ya to look away out of guilt.
Liu Ruo Qing did not think too much about it, Nuo Lan had already walked over to them: "Xiao Jiu, how do you feel?"
Xiao Jiu?
This was the first time she heard someone call Yan Yuan this way, and a look of surprise flashed past Liu Ruo Qing's eyes.
Hearing his address, one could tell that this person was definitely Yan Yuan's elder. Other than his elder, who would dare to call him that?
