Chapter 60 The Crown Prince's Angryness is Terrifying!
"Stop her!"
Xie Yuanhe gave the order without hesitation.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wang Luhai was also quite frightened and quickly rushed forward to stop Consort De, saying, "Your Highness, please calm down!"
"Calm down? How can I possibly calm down?!"
Consort De was still in shock as she recalled what she had just witnessed.
Looking at Wang Luhai's old face, she really wanted to slap him a few times!
"The Crown Princess has been burned to a crisp! And you still tell me to calm down! You old codger, how dare you! You actually prevented the Crown Prince from seeing the Crown Princess one last time!"
Consort De shouted angrily, "You heartless dog servant!"
Wang Luhai was spitting all over his face as he was being verbally abused.
He sighed helplessly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is not dead yet!"
"But she was burned black!"
Consort De was dumbfounded.
Wang Luhai didn't know how to explain, and he was afraid that if he let Consort De out, she would spread the news, so he had no choice but to invite Consort De into the warm pavilion again.
At that time, a group of imperial physicians had arrived in time and were whispering among themselves, discussing how to treat Shen Ruoli.
Xie Yuanhe's face was grim. "If anything happens to the Crown Princess today, I will have the Imperial Hospital executed!"
Even if he hadn't said that, Xie Xuanyin certainly wouldn't have let the entire Imperial Medical Academy off easily!
Upon hearing this, the imperial physicians were so frightened that their faces turned ashen and their hands trembled uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, what exactly is going on? What's wrong with the Crown Princess?"
Consort De approached, trembling.
She mustered her courage and craned her neck to look at Shen Ruoli again, then took several steps back in fear. "The Crown Princess, is she really still alive?"
Xie Yuanhe sighed, "What are you doing coming in?"
"It's the Princess Consort of Chu!"
Without a second thought, Consort De sold Song Xuerou.
She pointed outside and said matter-of-factly, "I shouldn't have come in, nor would I dare to."
“But Princess Consort Chu said that I was only worried about the Crown Princess and that it was all out of good intentions. The Emperor will definitely not be angry with me! It was she who insisted on letting me in! If the Emperor wants to punish someone, then punish her!”
After hearing her accusations, Xie Yuanhe was so angry that he gritted his teeth!
It seems he really was biased and made a mistake!
He shouldn't have shown favoritism towards Xie Xuansong and his wife.
The eldest son is a handful, and his wife is a fool who thrives on chaos!
Song Xuerou was afraid that today's events wouldn't get out!
He covered everyone's mouths and ordered that the matter be kept from spreading.
Song Xuerou desperately tried to expose this matter to the outside world!
Xie Yuanhe felt somewhat powerless.
He even considered giving up and not wanting to clean up the mess for Xie Xuansong and Song Xuerou anymore.
"Never mind."
He rubbed his temples wearily. "The Crown Prince must know about this, right? He's definitely not happy with what I did today."
"Wang Luhai, go and invite the Crown Prince over!"
With things having come to this point, Shen Ruoli's condition was becoming increasingly serious, and Xie Yuanhe could no longer hide it from her.
Anyway, they'll find out sooner or later!
Right now, all he could think about was how to calm Xie Xuanyin down.
"Little Yu, wipe the imperial sword that I have treasured for many years clean."
Song Xuerou, who was eavesdropping at the entrance of the warm pavilion, turned pale upon hearing this—could it be that Shen Ruoli was truly beyond saving? Her father wanted to clean the imperial sword; was he planning to behead her?!
Her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground!
Soon, Xie Xuanyin was invited into the Imperial Study.
Xie Yuanhe looked guilty and didn't know how to start the conversation.
Xie Xuanyin, however, glanced at Song Xuerou, who was still kneeling in the corner, and said calmly, "Father, I have come to fetch Ali back to the palace. I wonder if Ali is in the Imperial Study now?"
Xie Yuanhe's eyes stiffened slightly.
He only sent someone to invite Xie Xuanyin to the Imperial Study, but did not specify why.
Xie Xuanyin pretended not to know anything and said he had come to take Shen Ruoli back to the palace.
Hearing Xie Xuanyin affectionately call Shen Ruoli "Ali," Xie Yuanhe felt even more uneasy.
Song Xuerou sat frozen in place, staring at him in disbelief.
When did the Crown Prince become so concerned and intimate with that bitch Shen Ruoli?
Didn't he know that Shen Ruoli was someone planted by the King of Chu by his side, which is why he hated Shen Ruoli to the bone?
"Yin'er".
Xie Yuanhe hesitated for a moment, "The Crown Princess is indeed in the Imperial Study, but she is currently unwell. I have already summoned the Imperial Physician, and his suggestion is to temporarily place her in the warm pavilion, where she should not be moved."
"Why don't you stay in the warm room for the next couple of days as well..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xuanyin frowned!
Xie Yuanhe's breath hitched, and he immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out.
When did the fourth brother develop such an awe-inspiring presence?
Even his father, the emperor, felt uneasy because of his change of expression!
It seems he has indeed misjudged people all these years...
Xie Yuanhe sighed silently.
"Father, A-Li has always been healthy, and the imperial physicians all say she rarely gets sick. Why is she suddenly unwell today? What illness could be so serious?"
As he spoke, Xie Xuanyin gave another low shout, "Feng Qing! Summon the imperial physician!"
"No need!"
Xie Yuanhe hurriedly stood up, "The imperial physicians are all in the warm pavilion."
Xie Xuanyin glanced at him, then entered the warm pavilion without looking back.
He didn't reply, his face was terribly cold.
Seeing this, Xie Yuanhe nervously clenched his sleeves—Waaah, he's his father! The Emperor! This brat dares to glare at him like that!
However, the Crown Prince's angry appearance is indeed terrifying!
No wonder that every time the King of Chu was scolded by the Crown Prince, he would come to him with a pitiful expression to complain and urge him to deal with the Crown Prince.
"Wang Luhai".
Xie Yuanhe swallowed hard and muttered under his breath, "Didn't you think Yin'er's gaze just now was a little scary? It was just like, just like how my father glared at me when he was still alive."
Wang Luhai nodded quickly, "Your Majesty, this servant feels the same way!"
The mistress and servant whispered to each other, but Song Xuerou thought she had seized an opportunity and quickly called out, "Father! The Crown Prince went too far just now, he didn't even respect you!"
"Shut up! If you want to leave the palace alive today, you'd better kneel down properly!"
Xie Yuanhe glared at her irritably and followed her into the warm pavilion.
Song Xuerou still didn't know what she had said wrong, and pouted with a wronged look on her face.
The warm room was almost packed with people.
Upon seeing Xie Xuanyin enter, everyone made way for him by the bed.
Consort De was holding Shen Ruoli's hand and using a wet handkerchief to apply a compress to her forehead to cool her down.
"Poor thing! This usually fair-skinned and beautiful girl has turned into a foreigner today!"
Consort De sighed, "That damned Princess Consort of Chu! How cruel she is! If I were the Crown Prince, I would definitely avenge her and make her taste what it's like to be burned like a foreigner!"
Xie Xuanyin paused in his steps.
The scene was supposed to be very serious.
But when Consort De said these words, even he couldn't help but chuckle.
He coughed lightly, and only then did Consort De realize that he had come to the bedside.
"Your Highness, you've arrived! Quickly take a look at your wife, she's burned like a foreigner!"
Consort De quickly got up.
Xie Xuanyin: "..."
He was trying hard not to laugh out loud.
Firstly, it was because of Consort De's ridiculous words, and secondly, because Shen Ruoli's skin had indeed darkened considerably, making her look completely different from before. This, in turn, made her appear more honest and simple, and less hateful.
As he watched, Xie Xuanyin felt a slight pang of pain in his heart.
This woman was usually very energetic, just as Consort De had described her as having "fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs."
She lay lifeless on the bed, and Xie Xuanyin sighed silently.
He sat down by the bedside and sternly shouted at the group of imperial physicians, "If anything happens to the Crown Princess today, you will all be buried with her!"
And then there's Song Xuerou, the instigator...
"Feng Qing! Bring the Princess Consort of Chu in!"
