Chapter 646: She Must be Crazy to Have Fallen for Him (2)
As soon as the emperor began to make his way back to his tent, he gave He Lin an order. Find out what happened.
He Lin acted swiftly. After a moment, he had already reported the sequence of events in detail to the gloomy-looking Emperor beside him.
Nanzhang? Prince Hexis daughters? Anmin? The emperor raised his voice as he said those names. He Lin couldnt help but tremble when hearing his tone.
He Lin vaguely knew that those noble misses were going to suffer the consequences, but he didnt dare say anything more.
A moment later, He Lin asked in a soft voice, Your Majesty, Imperial Princess Leyaos injury
Send someone to notify Imperial Concubine Wei. Were tired, so Were going back to my tent to rest.
Yes, this servant understands. He Lin quickly left with two imperial guards.
Eunuch Wei had already come to greet the emperor when he arrived at the tent with his imperial guards.
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Wei and knew that he had probably already heard the news. Dont ask. Well talk after entering the tent. Theres something We need you to handle.
Yes, Your Majesty. This old servant understands.
Princess Wei and Royal Princess Duanjia followed after Chu Lian when she returned to her tent.
Princess Wei had even found a female physician with good medical skills to examine Chu Lian again. The female physician also inspected the wounds on her body that had been inconvenient for the male imperial physician to examine.
The physician left a high-quality ointment and prescription. Wenqing helped Chu Lian apply the ointment, while Wenlan went to brew the medicine.
Royal Princess Duanjia was sitting beside the bed. She held onto Chu Lians hand, a tinge of fear still evident in her voice as she said, Chu Liu, you really scared me. If anything bad had happened to you this time, I would have died of guilt.
Chu Lian forced a smile. Royal Princess, you shouldnt say that. Who could have thought that such an accident would occur?
Royal Princess Duanjia frowned. I didnt have a chance to ask you at the polo field, so tell me more about what happened at that time. Why did those two brats, Donger and Naner, attack you? If I remembered correctly, youve never interacted with them before.
Chu Lian shook her head. She really didnt have any relationship nor conflict with Prince Hexis Estate.
Furthermore, Prince Hexis twin daughters had good reputations in public. They were known to be obedient, intelligent, and talented.
She didnt understand why Prince Hexis daughters would harm her at this time.
Maybe it has something to do with Anmin? Anmin is very close with Leyao, so was it Leyaos idea? Royal Princess Duanjia made a guess.
Princess Wei tapped Royal Princess Duanjia on the shoulder. Although Leyao is ill-natured and spoiled, she isnt someone who knows how to scheme. This wasnt something that she would think of doing.
Princess Wei was right. To put it bluntly, Imperial Princess Leyao was a brainless idiot. This was a detailed plan that had started with the mention of polo and evolved into an actual polo match among the noble ladies. There was also the limit to the selection of players for the match that had made them pick Chu Lian for the team. Lastly, they had targeted Chu Lian on the field. This was a plan with many linked parts. If any one part within this plan failed, then Chu Lian wouldnt be hurt.
In conclusion, this wasnt something that Imperial Princess Leyao could devise with that brain of hers.
Moreover, Imperial Princess Leyao hadnt been at the scene. Thus, it was even more impossible.
It also couldnt be Imperial Concubine Wei. During the process of Chu Lian being injured and rescued, her eyes were full of surprise and shock. Princess Wei was right beside her at that time. It wasnt something that she could fake.
Who could it be then! Ill definitely find that culprit to avenge Chu Liu. Royal Princess Duanjia clenched her fist.
Princess Wei sighed helplessly. She patted Royal Princess Duanjia, and then Chu Lian. Alright, dont be rash. This doesnt seem like a simple matter. We should give this matter some more thought before coming to a conclusion. After saying that, she looked towards her daughter. Dont worry. Ill definitely find the truth and help you avenge Jinyi.
After hearing Princess Weis words, Royal Princess Duanjia immediately drooped. Even her shoulders hung low.
Royal Princess Duanjia was guilt-ridden because she felt responsible for Chu Lian getting injured this time.
Princess Wei understood her daughters feelings. Alright, Jinyi is probably tired after suffering such a fright. We should leave and let her get some proper rest.
Royal Princess Duanjia helped Princess Wei stand up. She felt reluctant to part with Chu Lian and said, Chu Liu, you should quickly lie down and sleep. Ill come over to see you tomorrow.
Chu Lian agreed with a voice filled with fatigue.
When Royal Princess Duanjia and Princess Wei arrived at the entrance of the tent, Duanjia abruptly stopped and asked with creased brows, Wheres Marquis Anyuan?
The guard, who was standing at the entrance, just shook his head in reply.
Royal Princess Duanjia immediately clenched her fists. That scumbag! Chu Liu is already injured and hes still not coming back!
He Changdi couldnt possibly be accompanying the emperor because the emperor had already returned to his tent! How could He Changdi still be wandering around outside?!
Princess Weis expression also turned slightly grim, but she wasnt as impulsive as Royal Princess Duanjia. However, she silently took note of this matter in her mind.
Chu Lian laid down with a soft and comfortable pillow behind her. She was also covered with a warm blanket. However, despite the comforts around her, there was a terrible expression on her face.
She couldnt help but recall the moment He Changdi had turned to leave with Imperial Princess Leyao in his arms.
She rang the bell beside her bed and Wenqing immediately rushed in.
Third Young Madam, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Please bear with it for a little longer. The medicine will be ready soon.
Chu Lian shook her head and looked towards Wenqing, who was standing beside the bed, and asked, Wheres my husband?
Wenqing was shocked, but she promptly answered with her head bowed, Replying to Third Young Madam, Third Young Master hasnt returned yet. This servant also doesnt know where he is. Laiyue hasnt come back either.
After receiving Wenqings reply, Chu Lian feebly waved her hand. Youre dismissed.
Wenqing looked worriedly at the back of the slender figure resting on the bed. She gave a light sigh and quietly went out.
