After examining Hongxuan, the doctor said that the young prince was perfectly healthy, as healthy as could be.

Gao Wuyong was skeptical, of course, because he doubted the doctor's skill level. At this moment, he wondered if it would be more reliable to invite an imperial physician.

The prince is so young and has suffered such a great fright. Shouldn't he at least be given some calming medicine? How could they say that the prince is very healthy and doesn't need anything?!

Fortunately, the doctor was unaware of Gao Wuyong's thoughts; otherwise, he would have certainly given him a hard time.

Although he wasn't a royal physician, his medical skills were still quite superb!

Not long after the doctor left, Gao Wuyong also left, as he had other things to do.

He also bears some responsibility for the young prince's accident, after all, the prince had specifically instructed him to take good care of the young prince.

To atone for his sins, he must handle the aftermath properly so that he can at least give his master an explanation when he returns.

Not long after, the Fourth Master returned. On his way back, he heard that his fourth son had almost been brutally killed. He was shocked and furious!

The servant who answered the Fourth Master shivered from the Fourth Master's cold aura. Even Su Peisheng, who had the best resistance, couldn't help but shrink his pupils and shiver.

"Have you confessed?" The Fourth Master, suppressing a terrifying aura, asked Gao Wuyong with unusual nonchalance.

However, what was being heard by everyone in the room was incredibly frightening. Gao Wuyong, who was being questioned, and Su Peisheng, who was still inside the room, both had their pupils constrict and cold sweat dripped from their foreheads.

However, Gao Wuyong was under even greater psychological pressure than Su Peisheng, because the question his master asked really touched on his difficulties, and he felt his back was a little sweaty.

"No." As he spoke, his head, which was already hanging low, unconsciously drooped even lower.

Sure enough, a violent and cold aura immediately pressed down on Gao Wuyong. Gao Wuyong's body stiffened visibly, and his back, which was not obviously wet before, became extremely wet.

The silence, an absolute silence, made the pressure in the room increase layer by layer, becoming more and more terrifying. Suddenly, a "thump thump thump" came from the door, instantly breaking the heavy and terrifying atmosphere in the room and letting it out.

Fourth Master shifted his gaze from Gao Wuyong to Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng immediately understood and inwardly complained that Gao Wuyong had gotten away with it so easily. He had originally wanted to see the other party embarrassed, but it was a real pity!

Gao Wuyong, feeling a pang of regret, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he had the energy to brood over why it wasn't Su Peisheng who stayed in the manor today; otherwise, it would be Su Peisheng kneeling before the master and giving him a reply right now.

Despite being annoyed by Gao Wuyong's complaints, Su Peisheng didn't forget his responsibilities. He walked to the door and asked as he opened it, "Who is it? What is it?"

"Eunuch Su, it's me."

Upon hearing the familiar childlike voice, Su Peisheng knew it was the Fourth Prince, Hongxuan. Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, he saw Hongxuan's small body and a face with a warm smile.

"It's Prince Hongxuan!"

“Yes.” Hongxuan replied, but then he scrambled through the crack in the door that Su Peisheng had opened, without waiting for a reply or even caring that his unruly behavior would be scolded by his father, the Fourth Master.

Sure enough, when the Fourth Master saw the little guy come in, he was not angry at all. Instead, his expression softened, he suppressed his cold aura, and beckoned to him to come over.

Hongxuan ran over quickly and called out affectionately, "Father."

"Hmm!" Fourth Master responded softly, reaching out to pat the little guy's head. Even after learning that the doctor had examined him and that Hongxuan was fine, he still personally took the little guy's body and examined him again before he could finally relax completely.

Hongxuan readily took advantage of the situation, wrapping his little arm around Fourth Master's neck, nuzzling his head against him, and then saying in a childish voice, "Father, Xuan'er has something to ask you."

"Oh, what is it?" Fourth Master couldn't quite guess why Hongxuan had come here, but he probably knew what had happened to him today.

"That's how it is," the little guy said, moving his head away from Fourth Master's neck and looking at him, before rattling off what had happened to him that day.

Upon hearing this, Fourth Master's eye twitched involuntarily. Gao Wuyong and Su Peisheng, who had also heard this and realized how things had developed, also twitched.

Xuan'er (Little Prince) is saying, it's unbelievable that such a development could happen in reality!

They actually gave up on Xuan'er (the young prince) just because he looked like a younger brother?!

Even more incredibly, the young prince's warm smile was actually one of the reasons for giving up. Moreover, according to what the young prince just said, people regret not being able to see his warm smile again, so this is still a significant reason!

In a daze, the group saw Hongxuan smile again, and their hearts were instantly warmed. They felt much more relaxed and comfortable.

In an instant, the same thought flashed through my mind: it's not so unbelievable, Xuan'er's (the young prince's) laughter really does have that much power.

At the same time, the Fourth Prince, who quickly came to his senses, guessed Hongxuan's thoughts, "You want to ask Father to let that maid go?" Otherwise, why would Xuan'er have come all the way here to tell him about the maid's leniency today?

Upon hearing this, Hongxuan shook his head and then nodded.

The Fourth Prince asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Hongxuan replied, "Father, Xuan'er wants to know if she has revealed who was behind her?"

Before the Fourth Master could answer, Gao Wuyong answered for him: "That maid was very stubborn and didn't say anything, taking all the blame on herself."

“In that case,” Hongxuan shifted his gaze from Gao Wuyong to the Fourth Master’s face and said, “Xuan’er begs Father to spare her life.”
