Chapter 215 Slap
Shen Wanfu had a hard time helping her. She was injured by the frightened horse and rolled on the ground twice. She had several bruises on her body, but compared with Xie Jingyu, her injuries were not worth mentioning.
After helping Xie Jingyu back to the house, Chen Wan discovered the wound on his back. His dark blue brocade robe was soaked with blood. It must have been torn by the wound when he was riding a horse.
Shen Wan said worriedly, "Let's ask another doctor to take a look."
Xie Jingyu said, "Just apply the medicine again and bandage the wound."
Yinchuan quickly brought medicine and gauze, and Shen Wan helped him apply the medicine.
The news that Xie Jingyu was assassinated and injured had spread throughout the Jingbei Palace before Shen Wan helped him back to Zhaolanxuan.
After Xie Jingyu's wound was bandaged, visitors came.
The first one to come was Concubine Wen.
Concubine Wen rushed over in a hurry, and Xie Jingyu and Shen Wan frowned more than each other.
It is totally inappropriate for my father's concubine to be so concerned about him, a prince.
Father, are you not going to tell Concubine Wen the truth about the baby swap?
Concubine Wen was extremely anxious, "How could he be injured so seriously?"
The concern is genuine.
Shen Wan said, "Concubine Wen, why don't you go back and ask the Second Young Master, maybe he knows."
Concubine Wen's brows sank, "What do you mean by that, Crown Princess?"
She didn't believe that Concubine Wen didn't understand.
Shen Wan said, "On the way back, I happened to see the Second Young Master, King Cheng, and the Third Prince of Beiyue drinking in Zuixianlou. King Cheng is well-informed, and the Second Young Master followed them. Maybe he heard some clues?"
Without evidence, Shen Wan openly suspected that this assassination was the work of Xie Jingze, King Cheng, and Xiahou Yi.
Although Xiahou Yi's men started to kill her and lured Xie Jingyu to rescue her, they retreated after Xie Jingyu fell off the cliff, which shows that they did not necessarily want to take her life.
But it was an indisputable fact that she was used as bait to lure her off the cliff. She had just made Concubine Wen cry a few days ago. Shen Wan suspected that Xie Jingze was venting Concubine Wen's anger.
Concubine Wen's expression changed again and again, and Shen Wan saw a cold light in her eyes.
This look was really beyond Chen Wan's expectations.
A bold guess is about to come out.
Concubine Wen wouldn't try to replace her own son with Xie Jingyu, right?
But in his previous life, after Xie Jingyu successfully rebelled, he killed Concubine Wen. And she didn't think that Concubine Wen could give birth to a monster like Xie Jingyu. What went wrong?
Shen Wan felt like she was being scratched by a cat. At this moment, the maid ran in from outside, "Master, Princess, it's bad, the princess has fainted..."
Xie Jingyu asked anxiously, "Why did my mother faint?"
The maid said, "The princess heard that the prince had been assassinated and seriously injured. She rushed to see him, but she fainted as soon as she got out of bed."
The princess has been ill these days, feeling weak all over and unable to even get out of bed, but Xie Jingyu is her life. When Mother Zhao heard that Xie Jingyu was assassinated and injured, she couldn't stop the princess from taking care of Lanxuan, but the princess was too weak and fainted immediately.
As if things weren't bad enough, Xie Jingyu was injured and the princess fainted. Chen Wan didn't know what to do.
Xie Jingyu sent Concubine Wen away, and Shen Wan sent Yinchuan to Liuliyuan to check the situation.
Xie Jingyu felt that there was no need to invite an imperial physician. The princess fainted, so the imperial physician was invited to come and see him.
Xie Jingyu asked the imperial physician, "Is my mother okay?"
The imperial physician said, "Don't worry, my lord. The princess fainted because she was weak and got up too quickly, causing a surge of blood. She will be fine after a few days of rest."
After the imperial physician took Xie Jingyu's pulse, Chen Ping, Chen An and Shan Hu came back.
The pharmacy delivered the medicine and took away the consultation fee and the money for the medicine.
Shanhu brought the medicine back, and the imperial physician examined it and found it was suitable for the condition, so he did not prescribe any other prescription.
It was already past lunch time, but Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu hadn't eaten yet. The kitchen cooked some porridge and brought it over, and Chen Wan fed Xie Jingyu.
Shanhu's elbow was bruised, so she went back to the house to apply medicine. While Yinchuan was helping her apply the medicine, she asked, "How could the prince be so badly injured, considering his martial arts skills are so high?"
Shanhu said, "You don't know how dangerous today is. The prince is lucky to be alive..."
"The prince is not just talking, he really cares about the princess. For the princess, the prince is willing to sacrifice his life."
Shanhu told Yinchuan everything that happened after she left Duke Dingguo's mansion.
Yinchuan said, "If I were to go out with the Crown Prince's Consort today, I would be scared to death."
"The Crown Prince is so good to the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess will never quarrel with the Crown Prince again."
The two maids were talking, and neither of them noticed that there was a green figure hiding outside the window.
After Coral applied the medicine and changed into a clean dress, the two of them hurried back to the house to serve her.
After they left, the maid left Zhaolanxuan and went to the South Courtyard.
When the Second Madam heard that Xie Jingyu had been assassinated and injured, she rushed to visit him. When she was halfway there, the maid came up to her and whispered in her ear.
The Second Lady's lips trembled with anger, "Did the Crown Prince get hurt because he was blocking the knife for the Crown Princess?!"
The maidservant said, "Not only that, in order to save the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince couldn't dodge the assassin's hidden arrow and fell off a cliff. The Crown Prince's martial arts skills were so great that he escaped danger..."
The entire Jingbei Palace, no, the entire Kyoto knows that the Crown Prince and his wife are deeply in love, but no one expected that the Crown Prince would value his wife more than his own life. From now on, in the Jingbei Palace, no one can offend the Crown Prince's wife.
The second wife was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and there was murderous intent in her eyes.
How could you take a woman so seriously?!
Does the Crown Prince only care about the Crown Princess? Are the Prince and Princess, as well as the Jingbei Palace, not as important as the Crown Princess in his eyes?!
The second wife's face turned blue with anger. After the maid left, the second wife became more and more angry and gave an order to her personal maid.
…
As for Concubine Wen, after leaving Zhaolanxuan, she asked her maid to find the second young master.
Concubine Wen returned to her room and drank tea to calm her anger.
Xie Jingze rode back to the mansion on horseback. Knowing that Concubine Wen was looking for him, he hurried over.
"What does mother want from me..."
Before he could finish his words, Concubine Wen suddenly stood up.
Raise your hand.
He slapped him in the face.
The crisp and loud sound of slapping spread throughout the room.
Concubine Wen was furious. "I've repeatedly warned you not to covet the throne of the Crown Prince, and you're just turning a deaf ear to my words?!"
Xie Jingze covered his face, his eyes colder than ever before, "Mother really thinks highly of me, but it's a pity that I'm incompetent and don't have the ability to kill my eldest brother."
Concubine Wen's expression froze. "Today's assassination really has nothing to do with you?"
Xie Jingze said, "It was Prince Cheng and the Third Prince of Beiyue who killed my eldest brother. I just wanted to take this opportunity to vent my anger on my mother and sister."
Concubine Wen's suppressed anger surged again, "An outsider killed your elder brother, you should tell your elder brother!"
Xie Jingze looked at Concubine Wen in disbelief, "Is mother crazy? I am already kind enough by not coveting my elder brother's position as the crown prince. They killed my elder brother to make room for me, and I still stopped them?"
"Who is the mother's child?"
This question left Concubine Wen speechless, and she could only change the subject, "You should be thankful that your elder brother is not seriously injured. Otherwise, if the prince knew that this matter was related to you, he would definitely not forgive you."
"From now on, stop associating with Prince Cheng and the Third Prince of Beiyue. Just be your Second Young Master Xie and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
Xie Jingze just felt that his own mother was unpredictable.
She doesn't fight or compete, so why does she keep targeting the Crown Prince's Consort, causing her to fight back and lose all her face?
Concubine Wen said, "I'm tired, please leave."
…
Shen Wan feeds Xie Jingyu porridge.
Xie Jingyu kept looking at her, and Shen Wan's face flushed layer upon layer, even more gorgeous than the fiery clouds in the evening sky.
Shen Wan whispered, "Can you please stop looking at me like that?"
Xie Jingyu said, "You are my wife. If I don't look at you, who should I look at?"
Don't stare at her all the time, she can hardly lift the spoon.
Shen Wan suppressed her blush and fed him spoonful after spoonful.
A maid came in and stood outside the bead curtain and said, "Princess, the princess wants you to go to the Liuli Courtyard."
Xie Jingyu frowned. He was injured, so why did his mother call Wan'er over?
Chen Wan felt uncomfortable being looked at by Xie Jingyu. When the princess called for her, she quickly stuffed the last two spoonfuls of porridge in the bowl into Xie Jingyu's mouth, put down the bowl and went out.
After leaving Zhaolanxuan, Chen Wan walked towards Liuliyuan. The maid said, "The princess is waiting anxiously, so the princess should take the small path to be faster."
Shen Wan didn't think much about it. She also wanted to go back quickly, so she just walked onto the path. After walking for a while, she saw the second lady walking towards her angrily.
Meet head-on.
“Bang!”
The second lady raised her hand and slapped Shen Wan.
This slap really stunned Shen Wan.
She had never been beaten in her life, so how could she bear this?
Shen Wan raised his hand and returned the slap directly.
It was louder than the slap the Second Madam had given her.
The Second Madam was already full of anger, and slapping Shen Wan was not enough to vent her anger. She didn't expect Shen Wan to dare to fight back, which was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
The Second Madam covered her face with her hands, her voice trembling with anger. "You dare to hit me?!"
