Chapter 227 Prince Xuan is seriously injured

"My Lord, how are you?"

Qingshi and his guards rushed over and saw Xiao Lingche lying on the ground, his face pale, his eyes staring at the sky, and blood still lingering at the corners of his mouth.

There were traces of fighting all around, Qingshi waved his hand in front of him worriedly.

Xiao Lingche, who had just been devastated, blinked at this moment, clenched his fists, and ordered in a cold voice:

"Spread the news that the king was attacked at night and seriously injured."

Qingshi received the order.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but I will take you back first."

The prince looks really badly injured. He needs to go back for treatment. I have to say that the prince paid a heavy price for setting this trap.

……

Soon after, the news of Prince Xuan's serious injury spread throughout the capital, and of course also reached the ears of the emperor.

Because Prince Xuan was seriously injured and was rumored to be in imminent danger, all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital rushed to Prince Xuan's mansion.

The emperor was furious. How dare someone hurt his son under the feet of the emperor? Moreover, Che'er's martial arts skills were among the best in Dongling. Who was so bold?

"Investigate carefully for me! Who hurt Prince Xuan?"

"I obey your order. I will check it out right away."

The Minister of Justice took the order and left. The Emperor rubbed his brows with a headache and summoned the secret guards to investigate secretly.

"Go to Prince Xuan's mansion to see how the third brother is doing, and give him my Purple Gold Pill."

The emperor gave instructions to Eunuch Xu, who was a little embarrassed. This purple gold pill was made from more than a hundred kinds of precious medicinal materials. Because the medicinal materials were hard to find and the process of refining the pill was complicated, it took many years to make one.

This only one is given to Prince Xuan, then the emperor will have none.

"Your Majesty, there is only one Purple Gold Pill, this..."

"Stop talking nonsense and go! Saving people is the most important thing."

"As you command, I will deliver it to Prince Xuan's mansion right away."

Eunuch Xu took several palace servants and went to Prince Xuan's mansion with the Purple Gold Pill.

……

When Concubine Shu heard the news that Prince Xuan was injured, she got up quickly and went to Prince Xuan's mansion at night.

She saw Xiao Lingche lying motionless on the bed, and was shocked. She sat down beside the bed and cried softly.

"Who hurt Che'er like this?"

She asked the doctor

"How is Che'er?"

"In reply to Madam Shufei, the prince has broken ribs and damaged heart vessels. His life is in danger."

"What!? That serious?"

Concubine Shu yelled at the imperial physician

"You must save him at all costs, otherwise, watch out for your head."

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead

"I will do my best to save King Xuan."

Concubine Shu looked at Shen Qingqing who was crying beside her and asked

"Do you know what happened today?"

At this time, Shen Qingqing knelt down at her feet and cried and said

"Mother, the prince went out alone tonight and did not allow me to follow him. I waited in the mansion until midnight, but I did not expect that the prince would be like this when he returned."

Today is Qiqiao Festival. She originally wanted to ease the relationship with the prince and have dinner with him, but unexpectedly Qingshi said that the prince went out alone.

She asked where Prince Qingshi had gone, but Qingshi kept silent. She wanted to go out to look for him, but he stopped her.

"Princess, the prince has ordered that you are not allowed to leave the house today."

"why?"

Qingshi did not reply, but stopped her with a sullen look on his face, and kept an eye on her movements.

This made Shen Qingqing very suspicious.

When Concubine Shu heard what Shen Qingqing said, she felt something was wrong.

"He left the house alone? Was there no one following him? Where are his guards?"

Qingshi ran in hurriedly

"Your subordinate greets Her Majesty the Concubine Shu."

"Why aren't you with the prince today?"

"Your Highness, the prince ordered me to look after the princess in the palace, so I didn't follow him."

"Then do you know where he went tonight?"

"The subordinates don't know"

Concubine Shu was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She wanted to punish the guard for not fulfilling his responsibilities at all, but he was Che'er's man. She was afraid that if she punished him without authorization, Che'er would think that she was interfering in the affairs of the palace. After all, their relationship was getting colder and colder.

She had no choice but to wave at him, signaling him to leave.

Shen Qingqing, who was standing by, felt that Qingshi must not be telling the truth. As the prince's personal bodyguard, how could he not know where the prince was going? They must be hiding something.

Thinking of this, she said

"Mother, I have a few words to say to you alone."

Shufei was taken to the next room by Shen Qingqing. After Shufei sat down, she walked to Shufei and said

"Mother, today is the Qiqiao Festival. Do you think the prince will go to see his old friends?"

After hearing this, Concubine Shu carefully considered her words.

"Old friend? Crown Princess?"

Shen Qingqing nodded

"We just need to find out whether the Crown Princess has left the palace today."

If the Crown Princess left the palace, then the Crown Prince would definitely be with her. Could it be that Che'er was obsessed with Qingge and was killed by the Crown Prince?

Otherwise, who would have the ability to hurt him?

After thinking for a moment, Concubine Shu stood up. She wanted to go back to the palace and ask the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly. If it was really the prince who did it, he would make him pay the price!

"Just wait, I will return to the palace to report to the Emperor and have him send someone to investigate the Crown Princess's whereabouts today. Remember, this matter must not be allowed to continue."

"Uh-huh"

Shen Qingqing nodded

Concubine Shu left in a hurry. Shen Qingqing looked at her back with a sinister look on her face.

"Ye Qingge, if it was really you and the prince who did it, then you can just wait to be punished by the emperor, humph."

Later, Eunuch Xu brought the Purple Gold Pill, and Shen Qingqing excitedly took it.

"Thank you, Father, for the medicine."

She had heard of this Purple Gold Pill, which was very precious and there was only one in the entire palace. The emperor gave it to the prince, and it seemed that the prince held a very important position in his father's heart.

"Princess, please give it to the prince quickly."

Eunuch Xu urged, after all, a minute later means an extra minute of danger to one's life.

Shen Qingqing immediately stuffed the Purple Gold Pill into Xiao Lingche's mouth and fed him some water.

"Cough cough cough..."

Xiao Lingche closed his eyes tightly. Something was suddenly stuffed into his mouth, and he couldn't help coughing a few times.

After taking the pill, Xiao Lingche felt that the pain in his body was not so severe, and his complexion also improved a lot.

Shen Qingqing excitedly pulled his hand

"My Lord, please wake up!"

Still no response

After sitting for a while, Eunuch Xu stood up and said goodbye, returning to the palace to report. He was heartbroken to see the former god of war lying on the bed.

East Palace

Xiao Lingye brought Ye Qingge back to the palace. After a while, he heard that Prince Xuan was seriously injured and unconscious. Ye Qingge's heart skipped a beat.

She looked at Xiao Lingye nervously

"Your Highness, what should we do? What if someone finds out? Will we..."

Xiao Lingye pressed her hand on the table

"Don't worry, if they really find out, it's because he flirted with you first. I hurt him to save you."

"Having said that, I am still a little worried. I am worried that you will..."

"Don't be afraid. If I'm really deposed as the Crown Prince, wouldn't that be exactly what we all want? Then we can leave the palace together, and I'll take you on a journey."

Ye Qingge smiled slightly after hearing what he said, but was it really that good?

"Your Highness, does the Emperor really know your other identity?"

Xiao Lingye shook his head at her. Ye Qingge was shocked when she saw him shaking his head.

"Then why do you say that?"

"I just want him to feel that although the emperor knows my identity, he doesn't care. I want him to feel uncomfortable for a while, so that he won't complain to the emperor again."

"Your Highness is really quick to react."

Xiao Lingye smiled and touched her head. She was frightened today. After taking her to bathe, he carried her to bed and hugged her to sleep. Ye Qingge snuggled in his arms, feeling full of security. She fell asleep in a short while.

Xiao Lingye quietly got up, covered her with a blanket, put on his clothes and went to the study.

"Master, do you think Prince Xuan is a little strange today? He is not trying his best?"

Xiao Lingye looked at him coldly

"Even you noticed that?"

Xuan Lie nodded

"He deliberately asked you to injure him. I don't know why. He didn't go to the palace to complain, but just spread the news that he was seriously injured. It's very strange."

Xiao Lingye closed his eyes and thought, he didn't know what his brother was up to.
