Liu Chenglin arrived quickly, riding a fast horse and carrying a medicine box on his back. He looked aggressive, like a general preparing to go to battle.

He arrived at the door and only saw Wei Dongchen. He paused for a moment, then asked, "Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I don't know." He pointed inside the house. "You should go in and rescue them."

Liu Chenglin didn't ask any more questions and ran into the house.

The doctor inside was already treating Liu Shushu's superficial injuries. When she fell off the horse, she first fell into a haystack, rolled around a few times, and was caught by Wei Huaixu. The external injuries were all minor abrasions.

"Any internal injuries?" Liu Chenglin asked, putting down his medicine box.

The doctor recognized him and politely replied, "There's one spot on your leg, but I'm not sure."

What does this mean?

"My medical skills are too limited to make a diagnosis. It would be best if Young Master Liu examined me in person."

Liu Chenglin didn't ask any more questions. After dismissing him, he stepped forward and lifted Liu Shushu's trouser leg to examine her. After some diagnosis, he determined that this was an old injury, and that the bone in her lower leg had been dislocated after the new injury.

"Such a serious old injury..."

He recalled that when Liu Shushu first arrived at Medicine King Valley, she was seriously injured and almost died. It was only thanks to her master's miraculous healing that she was saved from the clutches of death. At that time, her leg took a long time to heal.

"It must be the injury she sustained when she came to Medicine King Valley. This fall from the horse has exacerbated the injury. With such a severe injury, it's no wonder that doctor dared not make a definitive diagnosis." He pondered for a while before preparing to treat Liu Shushu's injuries.

Such a serious injury will likely require a long period of rest and recovery.

He ordered Zhu'er to bring a piece of cloth and stuff it into Liu Shushu's mouth so that she wouldn't bite her tongue from the pain later. Then he called two maids to hold her down.

After washing my hands, I gently pressed down on her calves, probing them from left to right, preparing to move the misaligned bones back into place.

This is a pre-existing condition, and without sufficiently advanced medical skills, it could easily worsen. Moreover, he only has one chance; if he fails, Liu Shushu is very likely to become disabled, but if she doesn't receive treatment as soon as possible, she will never be able to walk again.

He told the others about the risks before returning to the bedside. Looking at Liu Shushu with her eyes closed, he whispered, "Sister Shushu, trust me."

There was no response, but he felt more confident.

Liu Chenglin took several deep breaths, focused his mind and strength, and seized the opportunity. Success or failure depended on this. His movements were light and quick, and a cracking sound was heard.

"Ugh—" Liu Shushu groaned in pain, jolted awake by the pain. Cold sweat poured down her face, but because her mouth was stuffed with cloth, she couldn't scream out loud.

It hurts so much, it really hurts so much...

She couldn't help but tremble all over.

"It's alright, it's alright." Liu Chenglin gently comforted her while applying medicine to both sides of her legs and then using two wooden boards to bandage them.

As the pain gradually subsided, Liu Shushu's teeth, which had been clenching the cloth, finally relaxed little by little.

Zhu'er removed the cloth from her mouth and then took a handkerchief soaked in warm water to gently wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Liu Shushu seemed completely exhausted, her face as pale as paper. She grabbed Liu Chenglin's sleeve, tears welling in her eyes, her voice hoarse, "Someone has framed me! Quickly tell His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Liu Chenglin was startled. "Are you telling the truth?"

“It’s absolutely true. I smelled the scent of the 'soul-stealing herb' when the horse went out of control.”

The "Lost Soul Grass" is a toxic hallucinogenic drug that emits a strange fragrance when it blooms. If used on a human, it can cause them to lose their minds; imagine the effects on a horse.

Liu Chenglin walked quickly outside, expecting that Wei Dongchen would be the only one outside. However, he was surprised to see Qingying and Wei Huaixu standing next to her.

He was stunned for only a moment before bowing to Wei Huaixu and then telling Wei Huaixu exactly what Liu Shushu had said.

"It turns out someone deliberately plotted to kill me! I will definitely find out the truth and get justice."

Wei Huaixu acted swiftly, immediately ordering the horse farm to be sealed off. Even the young masters and noble ladies who had already left were brought back, and not even the stables were spared.

In order not to disturb Liu Shushu's recovery, everyone was ordered to gather outside the courtyard and then be called into another room one by one for interrogation.

After a thorough investigation, it was already dark. Everyone had grievances, but they dared not act rashly because of Wei Huaixu's status.

Wei Dongchen leaned closer to Qingying and whispered, "Are you hungry?"

"Nonsense, three hours have passed, and I haven't even eaten lunch. If I had known this would happen, I should have brought more food with me when I left."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't go hungry." With that, Wei Dongchen winked at her. Then, to Qingying's puzzled look, he swaggered outside.

Wei Huaixu's men immediately reached out to stop him, "Your Highness, His Highness has not yet given the order that you may leave."

His tone was respectful, yet it was full of unquestionable authority.

"I'm hungry and need to eat. What? Does your prince think I would stoop to such a shady thing as framing a woman?"

"But……"

"Get out of the way!" Wei Dongchen glanced at the man coldly.

The other party trembled subconsciously, but still didn't back down. "Young Master, please don't put us in a difficult position... Ah—"

Wei Dongchen kicked the man away without hesitation. The man rolled on the ground, clutching his stomach and howling in pain. The others immediately drew their swords, but dared not step forward, exchanging hesitant glances.

Wei Dongchen stood up straight, his expression playful. He took a step forward, and the people took a step back in fright.

The young men and women around them all adopted a spectator's attitude, no one spoke, and no one stepped forward.

Just when they thought Wei Dongchen was about to barge out, Wei Huaixu appeared at the door and quietly ordered, "Let him go."

Those people all breathed a sigh of relief, immediately sheathed their swords, and voluntarily made way for each other.

Wei Dongchen snorted and took his first step when Wei Huaixu's voice came from behind him again: "You can leave, but if I can't find the real culprit here today, then I'm afraid the blame will have to be placed on the Crown Prince."

"Threatening me? Ha~ This young master isn't easily intimidated." Without turning his head, he raised his hand and waved it casually, saying, "I wish Your Highness a speedy resolution to the case, so that innocent people are not wronged."

He blew a long whistle, and Zhao Xue seemed to hear the command and galloped over from afar. In no time, she was in front of him. He grabbed the reins with one hand, nimbly mounted his horse, gave a command, and rode away gracefully.

As the noble ladies watched his departing figure on horseback, whispers of amazement rose and fell, their chatter filling the air. If not for the constraints of their noble family rules, several of them would probably have already shouted and chased after him.

It's not hard to understand. These are all girls around fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen years old. They're naturally drawn to handsome, flamboyant bad boys like him, especially given Wei Dongchen's status and position. It's hard for them not to be attracted to him.

"Is the young master really gone like that?" she asked in a low voice.

Qingying smiled faintly, "He will come back."
