The prince arrived at the lotus pond but did not see He Xue. He continued walking forward and then heard voices. He followed the sound.

The crown prince arrived and saw this scene; his mind went completely blank.

He told himself over and over again, “He Xue will be alright!” Then he tore off the jade pendant from his body and threw it at the man.

The man's arm had been hit and hung limply at his side.

"You shameless woman, you even seduced other people! I'm going to tell the Emperor so he won't be fooled by you!" the man cursed incessantly.

The crown prince came to He Xue's side, and seeing her appearance, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

"Where did this crazy woman come from? How dare she hurt He Xue? I'll kill you!" The eldest prince kicked the woman away.

"Second Prince, what are you standing there for! Quickly take He Xue to find the imperial physician!" the eldest prince said, looking at the motionless crown prince.

"Yes, let's find the imperial physician!" The crown prince carefully picked up He Xue. "He Xue, don't be afraid, your crown prince brother is here. Let's go find the imperial physician right now!"

He Xue struggled to open her eyes and saw the Crown Prince's anxious gaze. "Crown Prince, hurry and save Nan Xing!"

"Alright, Your Highness, I'll send someone to rescue Nanxing right away!"

He fainted after speaking with Xue.

"Second Prince, what should we do with this crazy woman?" the eldest prince asked, pointing to the person lying on the ground.

"Brother, spare his life for now, and see if we can find out who's behind this!" The Crown Prince had regained his previous ruthless decisiveness.

"Brother, something strange is happening in the Imperial Garden today! Investigate carefully!"

"Okay, I understand! Leave this to me!" Although the eldest prince didn't know what was strange about it, since the crown prince had said so, he could just do as he was told.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince also arrived.

"Second Brother, what happened to He Xue?" The Fourth Prince looked at He Xue, who was in the Crown Prince's arms, and saw that she was covered in blood.

"You've been stabbed! Let the imperial physician treat you first!" The prince's pace didn't slow down as he spoke.

"Second Brother, I have already had He Zhu bring the imperial physician to the Prince's residence!" the Fourth Prince said.

"Alright, let's go to the Prince's residence!" The Crown Prince carried He Xue straight to the Prince's residence.

"Third brother, go find Consort Rong and ask her to send someone over. It's inconvenient for us to take care of He Xue, and He Xue also needs to change her clothes!"

"Don't disturb Mother Tong for now!" the Crown Prince said to the Third Prince behind him.

"Alright, I'll go to Zhongcui Palace!" At this point, he didn't care about anything else and ran towards Zhongcui Palace after saying that.

The Crown Prince carried He Xue all the way to the Prince's residence.

The princes were all waiting outside the prince's quarters, and He Zhu was there with the imperial physician. It would be hard for them not to know!

The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince waited anxiously at the door. When they saw the Crown Prince arrive, they quickly came over.

"Second Brother, how is Sister?" Ninth Prince asked.

"Let the imperial physician take a look first!" the Fourth Prince reassured the Ninth and Tenth Princes.

The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince looked at He Xue in the Crown Prince's arms and their eyes widened in fury.

The Tenth Prince rolled up his sleeves, ready to avenge He Xue.

The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince stopped the Tenth Prince, saying, "Tenth Brother, please calm down, your Second Brother will make arrangements!"

"Tenth Brother, let's stay with Sister for now and wait for her to wake up!" Ninth Prince soothed the agitated Tenth Prince.

"Fourth Brother, what's going on?" the Eighth Prince stopped the Fourth Prince and asked.

"I don't know the specifics either! When I arrived, my second brother was already carrying He Xue out of the Imperial Garden!" the fourth prince quickly explained to the eighth prince.

The Crown Prince carried He Xue into the prepared room, but instead of seeing Physician Liu, he asked, "Where is Physician Liu?"

Physician Li replied, "Your Highness, Physician Liu is on leave today!"

"Treat He Xue first!" the Crown Prince said to Physician Li.

The Third Prince also came with two palace maids.

Two palace maids stayed in the room to assist Physician Li, while the Crown Prince and the others left the room.

"Fourth brother, take my token and leave the palace immediately. Find Physician Liu and bring him into the palace. If anyone tries to stop you, kill them without mercy. I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

The Fourth Prince took the Crown Prince's token, exchanged a glance with the Crown Prince, and said, "Second Brother, don't worry, I will definitely bring Physician Liu here!"

Consort Rong also arrived with her entourage, asking, "What exactly is going on here?"

The Third Prince ran to Zhongcui Palace and told her that He Xue was injured and needed someone to take care of her. Before she could ask any questions, the Third Prince left with his men.

She was worried, so she followed along. When she arrived at the princes' quarters, she saw that all the princes except the eldest prince were there.

"Consort Rong, we are not entirely clear about the matter either. We will leave He Xue in your care!" After saying this, the Crown Prince bowed to Consort Rong.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of He Xue!" Consort Rong knew that the Crown Prince had something to attend to.

"Second brother, I'll go with you!" the Third Prince said as he approached the Crown Prince.

"Third brother, you stay here and help Consort Rong. If He Xue needs anything, have someone come to me!" The Crown Prince glanced at the room where He Xue was.

"I understand, Second Brother!" the Third Prince replied.

The Crown Prince, accompanied by He Zhu, turned and left the Princes' quarters, declaring, "He will not let anyone who dares to harm He Xue get away with it!"
