Chapter 113 Different
Zhao Xuanyi heard the sarcasm in her words and smiled bitterly.
Zhao Yuanrong didn't care about his mood and turned to Chi Yuan beside him, "Please, Shaoqing, send my sister back to the Marquis' Mansion."
"Don't worry, Princess." Chi Yuan nodded.
Qu Ling was worried, "Sister, are you okay?"
"Don't worry," Zhao Yuanrong pinched her hair and touched her face, "I'm going to be away from Beijing for a while, so don't go out casually."
The fight at Fengzuilou soon attracted patrolling officials.
Cui Yanzhi will go and take care of it.
Zhao Xuanyi sent Zhao Yuanrong to the princess's mansion. On the carriage returning to the palace, he found blood on his clothes.
It's Zhao Yuanrong's blood.
"She is so determined." Zhao Xuanyi murmured in a low voice.
Cui Yanzhi heard the prince talking to himself, but did not dare to respond.
He has followed the prince for many years and knows him very well.
The calmer the surface, the more turbulent the undercurrent inside.
Sure enough, Zhao Xuanyi drew out his knife, and with a flash of cold light, the blade had already penetrated into his left arm.
Blood gushed out instantly, dripping down the sleeves and into the carriage.
"Your Highness!" Cui Yanzhi was horrified.
"Go call the imperial physician," Zhao Xuanyi said without changing his expression, "and tell him that I accidentally fell and got hurt."
Cui Yanzhi's Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He just quickly tore off the lining of his clothes and bandaged the prince.
"Your Highness, why are you doing this?"
Zhao Xuanyi suddenly smiled, "You should know that I never do anything useless."
The carriage drove into the East Palace, and Zhao Xuanyi's face was pale due to blood loss.
The imperial physician had already been waiting in the bedroom, and upon seeing this, he hurried forward to treat the patient.
The wound is not deep, but it is shocking enough.
"Your Highness is very lucky that no bones or muscles were injured." The imperial physician bandaged the wound.
Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand to dismiss everyone, leaving only Cui Yanzhi behind. "Yuan Rong is leaving the capital. Go tell Song Guang that if you dare to assassinate me again, I will not let you off."
As for Hou Xu.
There was already a way to kill him.
"Go find Doctor Mu, take the antidote for the plague, and send someone to follow Yuan Rong. Remember, do it quietly."
No matter how they tried to stop him, Zhao Yuanrong was going to go.
With her personality, I can only follow her to avoid being implicated.
Zhao Xuanyi was upset and irritable.
Does she like Hou Xu that much?
You have to go pick it up in person.
Just as Cui Yanzhi received the order and retreated, hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall.
Queen Song rushed in with an anxious look on her face.
Seeing the blood seeping from the white cloth on his son's arm, his eyes suddenly turned red, "Why did he fall?"
And it doesn't look like it fell.
Zhao Xuanyi signaled the palace servants to withdraw. After the palace door closed, he spoke coldly, "Does your mother really not know?"
Queen Song was startled. "What do you mean by that?"
"Yuan Rong was assassinated in Fengzui Tower," Zhao Xuanyi concealed the coldness in his eyes, "and your son saved her."
He raised his injured arm. "This is the price."
Queen Song clenched her fists and was speechless for a long time.
"Did you do this on purpose?"
"I made it clear to you long ago," Zhao Xuanyi said calmly, "Don't hurt Yuan Rong, don't kill her."
"Why can't you kill her!" Queen Song shouted, tears welling in her eyes. "Do you really have to have her?"
She doesn't understand.
Why does his son have to fall in love with Zhao Ju's daughter?
Injustice is injustice.
"She has Hou Xu in her heart." Queen Song's lips trembled.
Zhao Xuanyi's heart trembled, "So what?"
His eyes were clear, "With time, things will change."
"What's wrong with Yuzhen?" Queen Song said gloomily. "If you marry her, your grandfather will support you wholeheartedly. You are the crown prince, how can Zhao Ju possibly defeat you?"
Zhao Xuanyi's eyes lit up with even more interest. "My mother is saying that if I don't marry Song Yuzhen, my grandfather will have other intentions?"
Seeing Queen Song's unhappy expression, he said, "What does the Song family want? To dominate the court or to rule the country?"
"Shut up!"
Queen Song's voice became sharp, and it was unclear whether it was out of guilt or fear. "How dare you say such treasonous words!"
Her shocked look softened Zhao Xuanyi's tone a little.
"Mother, if I marry Song Yuzhen, I will die soon."
Queen Song was startled and blurted out, "How is that possible? Your grandfather has never had any other thoughts."
"It's not that he doesn't have it, but he just didn't dare to do it before." Zhao Xuanyi said.
He didn't dare do that while Empress Dowager Song was still alive.
"Yi'er," Queen Song shook her head, disappointed and heartbroken, "How could your grandfather have done such a cruel thing to you? Why are you so wary of him?"
"Look, mother," Zhao Xuanyi raised his injured arm again, "my secret guards have injured me."
His meaning is clear.
The Song family kept secret guards and death squads, which was considered as treason, and Song Guang did this in his name.
But in fact, these people were not under his control at all.
Instead, it was used by Song Guang to hurt him.
"This was an accident," Queen Song was speechless for a moment before she said, "It was my idea to kill Zhao Yuanrong and Qu Ling."
She hated Zhao Ju.
Zhao Yuanrong was closely protected by the emperor and the prince in the palace, and her martial arts skills were not weak. It was not easy for the Song family's assassins to get in, and it was too difficult to kill her.
That Qu Ling is also cunning.
The Dingxiang Marquis's Mansion was guarded like an iron barrel, and the servants and guards in the mansion came from unusual backgrounds.
Finally there is a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Mother has been fooled." Zhao Xuanyi was silent for a moment and said softly.
"What?" Queen Song was puzzled.
Zhao Xuanyi was a little tired and didn't want to talk to her more.
"Mother, I am a little tired."
Queen Song didn't ask any more questions and quickly sent someone in to help him rest.
But Zhao Xuanyi couldn't sleep.
My aunt uprooted the Duke Su's mansion, and his private soldiers were dispersed and assigned to the imperial guards. It was almost impossible to reunite them.
Before this, he had always wanted to bring up the Song family and his aunt to fight.
But it’s no longer possible now.
The old man Song Guang became a little impatient when he knew that he no longer had his private soldiers.
Zhao Xuanyi let out a breath of foul air.
Find time to talk to my aunt.
I can’t stay at the Song family for long.
Princess Mansion.
Zhao Yuanrong couldn't sleep either.
"Mother, I will go to pick up Hou Xu myself and bring Madam Mu with me." She said solemnly to the eldest princess.
"Is he in danger?" The eldest princess noticed her daughter's anxiety and urgency.
"Yes," Zhao Yuanrong nodded. "A Ling reminded me that weapons are easy to defend against, but what about epidemic diseases?"
"No epidemic has been reported anywhere..." The princess frowned, her heart sinking mid-sentence. "If it's deliberately concealed, it must be artificially fabricated."
Her eyes were icy cold. "Zhao Xuanyi dared to do such a thing. I will definitely kill him and sacrifice him to the people on behalf of our ancestors."
"I won't wait any longer," Zhao Yuanrong said. "I'll leave now."
Hou Xu cannot die.
"Yuanrong," the eldest princess looked at her, "the prince saved you today."
Zhao Yuanrong narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently, "Mother, he is here to kill us. Otherwise, if we leave one alive, Pei Jingming can follow him back to find the lair of those assassins and secret guards."
The princess was relieved to see that she was conscious.
If my daughter falls in love with the prince.
That would be a devastating failure.
