Chapter 84 Someone Else Made the Move

Emperor Xiao Xuan killed the other acrobats who participated in the assassination in front of everyone.

Not a single one was spared; the central hall of the Hall of Diligent Governance was stained with a shocking shade of blood.

But he kept Xiao Qingyao with him.

Xiao Qingyao looked at those who had always been with her, all of whom had ended up with their heads cut off, and then thought about what Emperor Xiao Xuan had said.

She looked at the princes and ministers in the Linde Hall.

Even though she had secretly met Prince Zhuang twice, he remained indifferent. Suddenly, Xiao Qingyao burst into laughter.

What was her purpose...?

She suddenly picked up a dagger from the ground and slit her throat in front of everyone...

Emperor Xiao Xuan glanced at her but did not react further.

"Clean it all up!"

And also! The former Princess Zhou from Tianjin... let's deal with her too!

She raised such a good child to be like this, completely severing the Zhou king's lineage!

After Emperor Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he turned and left the Linde Hall.

Although I was mentally prepared, this birthday still turned out...

Emperor Xiao Xuan felt particularly distressed.

...

"That's how it ended! In short, all those people died."

Aside from being frightened and learning about some of what happened back then, it seems that no one was really hurt.

Oh, it still causes some damage.

Firstly, His Majesty's birthday was not celebrated properly, that's one aspect.

Secondly, besides you being injured, there is someone else who is also injured. Princess Yongxin suddenly leaned closer.

Song Zhimian was listening intently when she saw Princess Yongxin speaking so mysteriously, so she immediately asked.

"Who else but me!"

“Princess Jia Hui’s husband! He’s also injured!” Princess Yongxin said with a smile.

Song Zhimian responded with an "oh".

"He was injured too? Was he accidentally grazed? It's just an injury, nothing life-threatening."

With so many imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital, they can definitely cure it.

"I refuse to believe that his injuries are as severe as mine!" Song Zhimian said with a look of disdain.

She really went forward with a dagger pointed at her; didn't you see? Her clothes were soaked in blood; it was terrifying to look at.

Furthermore, it is said that the prince consort was spoiled and pampered, even more so than a woman.

I've heard that even a small scratch on the skin requires consulting a royal physician.

Now they say he's injured... haha, he probably twisted something somewhere, or maybe he accidentally bumped into a pillar or those tables while hiding...

Unexpectedly, Princess Yongxin patted the edge of Song Zhimin's bed.

You really guessed wrong this time.

This time, Tong Shiqing... is actually more seriously injured than you!

Song Zhimian still didn't believe it and continued to squint her eyes as Lian Qiao gently applied the ointment to her back.

"Really! This time, Tong Shiqing's injuries are much more serious than yours."

"At least your injuries can be healed, but Tong Shiqing's injuries will never be healed," Princess Yongxin said earnestly.

Song Zhimian...

"Really? Where are you hurt?" Song Zhimian tried to lean closer to Princess Yongxin.

But this movement immediately aggravated the pain in his back.

Lian Qiao quickly grabbed Song Zhimian and pressed her down.

"Don't move, I'm applying medicine!"

Song Zhimian then calmed down, but still looked at Princess Yongxin with curiosity.

"Really? It can never be cured? Could it be that it injured a man's private parts?" Song Zhimian asked in a low voice.

Princess Yongxin admired Song Zhimian even more.

You can even imagine that back then, Song Zhimian was busy protecting Juege'er!

"Yes! It's because it damaged the man's manhood!"

Ironically, when things first got chaotic, wasn't everyone thinking about hiding and protecting themselves?

Tong Shiqing was the same; he also wanted to find a good place to hide.

Who knows...

I don't know who threw a table over while they were fighting with those thugs.

By sheer coincidence, it hit Tong Shiqing.

And it just so happened to hit that spot...

The situation was so chaotic at the time, and His Majesty dealt with those people on the spot, which took quite a while.

By the time Prince Zhuang discovered his son-in-law lying on the ground, pale and unable to get up, it was too late.

Later, they consulted the imperial physician...

The imperial physicians all shook their heads! Princess Yongxin said, laughing as she spoke.

Song Zhimian's mouth dropped open as she listened.

What a coincidence! There's no way things could be so coincidental. Could it be like my injury, where someone else attacked me from behind...?

Thinking of her injury, Song Zhimin's eyes flickered.

“He deserved it! But, do that prince consort and the princess have children?” Song Zhimian asked.

Princess Yongxin immediately shook her head.

No! I don't know whose fault it is.

If Tong Shiqing becomes impotent, I'll definitely go to a brothel and pick out two good-looking men to send to Princess Jia Hui.

"But now Princess Jia Hui and Tong Shiqing are very affectionate, all lovey-dovey!" Princess Yongxin pouted.

Just as Song Zhimian was about to say something, she heard someone cough outside the window.

"Mu Xiao, may I enter now?"

This is Xiao Huaijin's voice.

Upon hearing this, Princess Yongxin and Lianqiao quickly covered Song Zhimin's exposed back.

In addition, a thin brocade quilt was placed on top.

And so, only Song Zhimian's head was sticking out.

After Lianqiao helped Song Zhimian finish tidying up, Princess Yongxin called out to the outside.

"Come in!"

Xiao Huaijin coughed twice more, then stomped his feet heavily twice before stepping inside.

As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Huaijin saw that Song Zhimian, who had only her head sticking out, was already awake and was lying on the bed with her big eyes looking at him.

Princess Yongxin was sitting on a chair by the bed.

The young female doctor was kneeling on the edge of the bed, carefully massaging Song Zhimin's waist.

Judging from his appearance, he was nowhere near the weak and bloodied man who had just carried her back!

"Are you feeling better?" Xiao Huaijin asked, looking at Song Zhimian.

Song Zhimian nodded.

"Much better! After taking the medicine and having Lianqiao apply some ointment, I feel much better now! I just don't know if I'll have a fever tonight!"

Xiao Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, when I saw all that blood behind her... I was really terrified.

How could Song Zhimian use her body to block it...?

It's also my fault. If I had rushed over immediately, Song Zhimin wouldn't have been so badly injured...

"The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are also thinking about this place."

Jue-ge'er also insisted on coming to see you, but fearing it would disturb your recovery, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess did not allow him to come.

They specifically asked me to come and take a look!

"By the way, what were you talking about just now? I vaguely heard you mention Jia Hui's cousin's husband?" Xiao Huaijin made conversation.
