It's only in this kind of situation that they need to act seriously; otherwise, they would probably be laughing out loud with joy.

The chief secretary of the Prince's residence also said, "Since the Princess is so worried about the Crown Prince and his wife, they will surely be safe and sound."

Princess Pingnan said with a worried look, "But I'm still very worried."

The chief clerk of the Prince's mansion found it strange. She kept saying she was worried, so why didn't she ask him to go and fetch a doctor?

They quickly arrived at the front yard, and Princess Pingnan burst into tears before even seeing them: "Xiu'er, Wan'er, how could you just abandon your mother like this?"

Ye Junfei's name on the jade tablet in the Prince's mansion is Ye Xiu.

The strange feeling in the Prince's residence grew stronger. The Princess Consort was acting strangely today. It was the Second Young Master who was injured today, not the Heir Apparent or the Princess!

He was about to give a warning when Princess Pingnan rushed in, crying and shouting.

Her voice was loud at this moment, revealing all her feigned concern and worry.

If Lin Xiuyan saw her like this, she would probably give her a thumbs up. After all, it must be quite tiring to fake cry like this.

Ye Mingzhu chimed in from the side, "Mother, don't be anxious!"

As they spoke, the mother and daughter rushed inside, preparing to lie on top of Ye Junfei and Ye Qingwan's corpses and pretend to cry.

However, when they went inside, they found Ye Jingxian lying there in the courtyard, his face pale and covered in blood, looking like he was on the verge of death.

Princess Pingnan and Ye Mingzhu were both startled by the scene before them; it was completely different from what they had expected.

Princess Pingnan's voice carried a hint of genuine fear: "Xian'er, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Jingxian was in so much pain that his face was pale. There were too many people around for him to explain what had happened.

He said through tears, "Mother, my leg is broken."

Princess Pingnan's face also turned pale. She hurriedly asked, "Didn't I tell you to go and pick up your Xiu'er and Wan'er to go home? Where are they?"

Ye Jingxian's face twisted slightly when he heard their names.

He said through gritted teeth, "I don't know."

Princess Pingnan asked, "How could you not know?"

After asking the question, she saw Ye Jingxian's ugly face and knew that the problem might be much more serious than she had expected.

She took a deep breath and said, "Someone, quickly go and fetch a doctor! Take the second young master back to his room."

Even Ye Mingzhu was stunned by the scene before her; she wasn't as shrewd as the Princess of Pingnan.

She screamed and cried, "Brother, don't scare me!"

This sound was far more sincere and heartfelt than when he was acting earlier.

The doctor had already been summoned, and Princess Pingnan had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Ye Jingxian.

But treating Ye Jingxian's illness was the priority at the moment. He returned to the palace in a huff, and fainted after arriving at his room.

The doctor arrived quickly; he was the most skilled physician in the entire Liefeng Prefecture.

After performing a series of examinations on Ye Jingxian, he sighed softly.

Princess Pingnan hurriedly asked, "How is Xian'er?"

The doctor replied, "The second young master's legs were severely injured by the stones; all the bones inside are shattered."

"The doctors at the conference who helped set the Second Young Master's bones were quite skilled; most of the bones were put back in place."

"However, because the bones were smashed too badly, even if the second young master can be healed, it will be difficult for him to walk like a normal person."

Upon hearing these words, Princess Pingnan felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

If Ye Jingxian's leg becomes lame, how will he inherit the throne?

"Isn't there any other way?" Ye Mingzhu asked anxiously.

The doctor cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "With my medical skills, I am unable to help the Second Young Master completely reposition all the bones."

"But if we could ask the Sage of Medicine to help, with his medical skills, he should be able to cure the Second Young Master."

Princess Pingnan and Ye Mingzhu had both heard of the great name of the Sage of Medicine, but they also knew that his whereabouts were always unpredictable.

Getting him to treat Ye Jingxian's leg was by no means an easy task.

Not to mention, Ye Jingxian's leg is injured like this now, and there is no time to waste. Where can we find the elusive medical sage in such a short time?

Princess Pingnan gritted her teeth and said, "Xian'er must not be crippled! Go and invite the Prince immediately, and let him go and invite the Sage of Medicine."

At this moment, she knew clearly that only the Prince of Pingnan could possibly invite the Sage of Medicine back to his palace.

To coordinate with Ye Jingxian's actions this time, Prince Pingnan deliberately left the Prince Pingnan's residence and went to inspect the border.

Because there are ceremonies during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Prince of Pingnan will also be returning today.

Princess Pingnan cherished her son, Ye Jingxian, and couldn't wait a moment longer.

After the doctor left, Ye Mingzhu asked with tears in her eyes, "Mother, what should we do now? What exactly happened?"

Princess Pingnan didn't know what was going on, but the current situation was giving her a headache.

She dismissed everyone and asked He Tongyin, who had brought Ye Jingxian back, "What exactly happened?"

"As the leader of the Xuanzi Camp, how could you allow Xian'er to suffer such a serious injury?"

He Tongyin's feelings were also extremely complicated, so she briefly recounted what had happened in the past two days.

Princess Pingnan and Ye Mingzhu were dumbfounded; the development of this matter was completely different from what they had expected.

Princess Pingnan said with a furious expression, "This time, Ye Junfei only brought a dozen or so guards with him, while the Xuan army has over a thousand men."

"The Xuan-character army of over a thousand men was defeated by a dozen or so men, and most of them were killed."

"He Tongyin, do you think that I, a concubine who has lived in the inner palace for so long, am ignorant of matters on the battlefield, so you make up such a story to fool me?"

He Tongyin knelt before Princess Pingnan and said, "How could this humble general dare to lie to the Princess about such a matter?"

"The Second Young Master was also present during this whole affair. He witnessed everything firsthand, and I would never dare to utter a single lie."

Princess Pingnan simply couldn't accept this.

He Tongyin could only say, "We were originally very confident about this matter, but the variable was the Crown Princess."

"She had some very strange weapons, weapons we had never seen or heard of before."

"Moreover, those weapons were extremely lethal. Because we had never seen them before, we were at a great disadvantage from the very beginning."

Princess Pingnan's eyes were filled with shock: "You mean to say that you will lose this time because of that bitch Lin Xiuyan?"

He Tongyin lowered his head. Although he was very unwilling to admit it, he had to admit: "That's true."

Princess Pingnan was burning with anger, but she also knew that He Tongyin was unlikely to lie about such a matter.

After all, if this is a lie, it will all be exposed as soon as Ye Jingxian wakes up.

Princess Pingnan was also aware of the Xuanzi Battalion's combat strength, as it represented the most elite fighting force in the entire Liefeng Prefecture.

How could such an army be defeated by Lin Xiuyan?
