"Baoning!"

This is what Pei Yuan saw when he rushed over. His Baoning fell from a tall building like a butterfly in the wind, and the night wind blew her skirts.

Pei Yuan felt that his breathing was stagnant at that moment, the blood in his body was flowing backwards, and his eyes hurt as if they were about to burst. Amid

the shouts of the crowd, Pei Yuan roared and rushed forward. Before Baoning was about to land, Pei Yuan's hands just touched her waist. He took the opportunity to hug her in his arms, holding her and rolling on the ground for several circles, barely stopping.

The hard stone floor hurt every bone. Pei Yuan lay on his back, not even taking a breath, and hurriedly pulled Bao Ning's hair covering her face: "What's wrong? Ning Ning, did you fall? Where does it hurt? Tell me -"

Pei Yuan's anxious and distorted voice stopped abruptly when he saw the blood on his palm.

Under the moonlight, his hands were full of bright red, and Pei Yuan's mind went blank for a moment. What happened to his Bao Ning, why did she bleed so much?

"Ning Ning?" Pei Yuan gently patted Bao Ning's cheek and called her name. Still without a response, a huge panic surged from the bottom of his heart. Pei Yuan rolled and crawled to his feet, hugged Bao Ning by the waist, pushed through the crowd and ran to the Imperial Hospital. "Hold on, I'll take you to see a doctor."

Jiang Yan, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Zhou, wanted to stop him: "Fourth Prince, the imperial physician is on the way, you just wait here..."

"Get lost!"

His voice was too loud, Bao Ning pressed against his chest, and was shocked to cough and wake up.

Pei Yuan's ears seemed to be trapped in a mask, buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything else. He touched the slippery blood on Bao Ning's clothes and felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He regretted and blamed himself. He shouldn't have left Baoning in Changqiu Palace. Perhaps he shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess again! If not, he would be sitting at home with Baoning now, eating simple meals, and wouldn't let her endure all the shock and pain...

Baoning is so afraid of pain, and she lost so much blood, it must be very painful...

Baoning grabbed his collar, closed her eyes and hummed: "You shook me..."

Pei Yuan still couldn't hear. His eyes were red, and he just kept walking forward. Baoning took a deep breath, supported Jin'er and moved up a little bit, pulling his ear: "Pei Yuan, stop! You're shaking me so much that I'm going to vomit!"

Baoning groaned: "I just ate poisonous mushrooms and my stomach is upset. Don't shake me..."

Pei Yuan couldn't hear this time . When they arrived, he stopped hesitantly and looked down. Baoning's face was flushed due to dry coughing, and her eyes were bright. She was staring at him aggrievedly: "Why are you walking so fast? My stomach hurts so much. Can't you walk slower?"

Pei Yuan felt like he was dreaming. He was pulled out of endless fear and fell into great surprise. He asked in disbelief: "Are you okay?"

Baoning said: "My stomach hurts."

Pei Yuan asked: "Are there any other injuries?"

Baoning put his hands on his neck, shook his calves and buttocks, and felt no pain anywhere else in his body. He answered affirmatively: "No."

Pei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He put his lips on Baoning's forehead with a lingering fear, and sighed: "Baby, you are going to scare me to death."

Baoning was also afraid. She was not a courageous person. Just now, she really felt that she was going to die. If there were no outsiders, she would definitely cry to Pei Yuan, but now was not the time to cry.

Baoning secretly wiped her tears on Pei Yuan's sleeves and wanted to jump down: "Let's go back."

"No need." Pei Yuan did not let go and insisted, "I will hold you."

Baoning could not argue with him and could only yield.

So, Emperor Zhou and his ministers saw that the fourth prince, who had just rushed out like a mad ghost holding his princess, now changed like a different person and came back with his princess in his arms with a calm face. He put Baoning on the ground, took off his coat and put it on her shoulders, his eyes were as calm as usual.

Some sharp-eyed people noticed that the Fourth Prince was even in the mood to make some moves, and rubbed someone's belly under the cover of his sleeves.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that the Fourth Prince changed his expression so quickly, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Pei Xiao had already come down from the stairs, looking at Baoning in Pei Yuan's arms, and seeing that she was fine, his worries were put down, but he also felt a little sad.

Just now, when Baoning was sitting on the windowsill, he reached out to save her, completely out of his heart, without any calculation. But he could read from Baoning's eyes that Baoning didn't believe it at all. She would rather sit in that dangerous place, waiting for Pei Yuan to come, than believe him.

Is he so untrustworthy?

Pei Xiao turned his eyes away and stopped looking at the two people hugging each other.

Emperor Zhou was concerned at first, and when he saw that Baoning and Pei Yuan were safe, he said: "Pei Xiao just told us what happened. It was done by a eunuch named Zhao Qian in the imperial concubine's palace. He had a grudge with Yuan'er in the past, so he made an excuse to commit the crime and wanted to harm Baoning. Fortunately, he arrived in time and killed Zhao Qian with the sword, but he was still a step too late and failed to hold Baoning, causing her to fall from the building."

He no longer called him the prince or Xiao'er, but only Pei Xiao. Hearing this title, the expressions of the people present became subtle.

Pei Xiao naturally noticed it, and his lips straightened, but he didn't say anything else.

Emperor Zhou asked Baoning gently, "Is that so?"

Baoning was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said firmly, "No!"

All the ministers were shocked.

Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes. Pei Xiao also turned his head in shock and stared into Baoning's eyes. He had a vague premonition that she might want to...

Baoning took a deep breath and said in one breath: "It was the prince who pushed me! Zhao Qian forced me to the window and told the truth. He said that it was Concubine Gao who instigated him to kill me. After he finished speaking, I lit the signal smoke. Zhao Qian was panicked and the prince arrived. He was afraid that the matter would be exposed and wanted to clear himself and Concubine Gao, so he killed Zhao Qian with a sword. He felt guilty and wanted to kill me together. Before he stabbed me with the sword, I leaned back and fell down."

She was talking nonsense!

Pei Xiao's heart was struck by lightning, his chest heaving for a moment, he knelt down and said loudly: "Every word I said is true, please judge by your majesty!"

Baoning also knelt down with tears in her eyes and said: "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly and give your daughter-in-law justice!"

Emperor Zhou asked someone to help Baoning up. He looked at Pei Xiao disappointedly, without making a judgment on the spot, but waved his hand and said: "Yuan'er, take your princess down to rest, she must be exhausted, you stay with her for a while, and then go to Taiji Hall, I have something to say."
