Rebirth of the Great Miss of the Inner Court Struggle

A daughter from a prominent family is desired by many, yet the daughter of the Yong family is sought by none. Noble families consider her nouveau riche and vulgar, while scholarly houses pride them...

Chapter 18 The Crown Prince

Zhao Shu looked at her, then at the people around her. Only Zhihai was left. In any case, with Zhihai there, she felt much more at ease.

As Zhao Shu approached the cabin, she heard a coughing sound coming from inside. The voice was hoarse, suggesting that the person had been coughing for a long time. However, after listening for a while, she realized that the person coughing was not Ouyang Ping.

She turned to look at the maid, but she had disappeared. Just as she was about to turn back, the door of the cabin opened and Little Fatty came out.

"Little Fatty? You've come back from your wedding?" Zhao Shu was momentarily taken aback, and the words slipped out.

"Greetings to the Princess." The chubby boy seemed to have lost weight, his lips were deathly pale, and his complexion was very poor; he hardly looked like a proud and smug groom.

Zhao Shu's expression turned serious. "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine. His Highness the Crown Prince is inside. Princess, please go and see him." The chubby boy stepped aside, revealing part of the furnishings inside the room. The room was somewhat dark, and apart from the door the chubby boy had just opened, all the other doors and windows were tightly closed.

Zhao Shu's face lit up with joy, but then her surprise turned into worry. Seeing Xiao Pang's condition, she feared the Crown Prince was in even worse shape. She slowly approached, and as she stepped into the room, she was immediately enveloped by a strong smell of medicine, so strong that she almost choked.

"Princess." Hongye rushed out and bowed to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu looked at her; there was a long scar on her face, and her right arm was empty, with only one sleeve hanging down.

"Hongye, you?" Zhao Shu didn't know what to say. Her heart sank to the bottom. She didn't dare to look at the Crown Prince. What would she do if the Crown Prince's leg was gone too? What would happen to her confident and sunny Crown Prince brother?

Hongye knelt down in front of Zhao Shu with a thud. "Princess, please save His Highness the Crown Prince. Princess, I beg you."

She knew that Zhao Shu lived in the imperial palace, where there were imperial physicians. If the imperial physicians could be invited, the crown prince could be saved. The Huo family said they would invite a medical genius, but where was the medical genius? She had been waiting for a long time but had not seen him. At this moment, the only person she could ask for help from was Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu didn't help her up. Just then, a voice came from inside the house, "Is that A-Jun? A-Jun, don't come in. Your brother's appearance will frighten you."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Shu felt a lump in her throat, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.
