A Rao was taken back to the Marquis' Mansion by Murong Yan. She refused to say a word along the way. Only after seeing Ye Wanqing and Nanny Jiang did she kneel down on the ground.
"Prince." A Rao kowtowed heavily, and tears burst out.
"Liu Zhang has destroyed my martial arts. Now I can't gather any strength in my dantian. I can no longer protect you!"
"What!" Ye Wanqing exclaimed, and hurried forward to help A Rao up and held her in her arms.
She touched A Rao's arm and found that her originally strong and powerful arms had become soft and her body had also become soft and weak.
"How could this happen? Was it Liu Zhang or the Third Prince who did it?" She shook her head in disbelief. In her impression, Liu Zhang had always been a very gentle older brother who was very kind to the three of them. Sometimes he would bring them interesting toys and beautiful books, and tell them interesting cases.
"Liu Zhang!" A Rao burst into tears as soon as she mentioned him. "He poured me a bowl of medicine without saying a word, and then I had no strength left in my body."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yan angrily said, "The Dali Temple has medicine specifically for dealing with martial arts masters. Once a crime is confirmed, they'll give them a decoction that destroys their Dantian to prevent them from escaping or committing crimes again. That nerd Liu Zhang didn't even conduct a trial, and he actually dared to torture A Rao first!"
Nanny Jiang hurried over to feel A Rao's pulse, and after a long while she breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It's just ordinary Hundred Flowers Softening Muscle Powder. There's an antidote in the southern border. I wrote to ask Old Jiang to prepare it and send it over. But you've suffered severe internal injuries, and you may not be able to practice martial arts in the next few months."
Murong Yan uttered a sigh of relief and said, "He didn't destroy your Dantian. He probably just stopped you from running around temporarily."
Hearing this, Ye Wanqing gently rubbed her forehead and comforted her, "Don't cry, A'rao, don't be afraid. Your mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince both said that it can be cured."
A Rao huddled in Ye Wanqing's arms and said aggrievedly, "Who will protect the prince in the next few months?"
"Arao, don't worry. We still have many guards in our mansion. You should rest well in the next few months." Ye Wanqing stroked her withered hair and said distressedly, "It's good that you're back. You've suffered a lot in the Dali Temple. Just rest well at home and be my personal maid. Let the men do the fighting."
"Yes, yes, I'll let my little cousin come to protect you." Murong Yan agreed. He clapped his hands and let the man in black in the distance come in.
"Your Highness." The man in black was covered from head to toe, with only his nose and mouth exposed.
Ye Wanqing exclaimed, "It's the man in black from that day."
"He's Ling Mo, Gu's younger cousin. He's very skilled in martial arts. He'll be following in the shadows. Ah Xu can call him if he needs anything."
"He is your cousin? Isn't that the young master of Uncle Ling's family! No, no, how can I let the young master protect me." Ye Wanqing hurriedly declined. Uncle Ling and Lord Shen were both first-rank officials, so the young master in their family was naturally at the same level as Shen Xu, so they asked the young master to protect the young master.
Wouldn't it be a huge loss for anyone who gets into danger?
"Besides, Young Master is blindfolded, can he see clearly?"
Ling Mo replied respectfully, "The blindfold is to make my hearing more sensitive, so that I can more clearly sense any movement."
"Don't worry, Prince Shen. I am a professionally trained secret guard. If you need me, just give me a shout and I will appear in front of you immediately."
"No, no, you're too polite, young master." Ye Wanqing was a little flattered. "Besides, I usually stay in the Marquis' Mansion and don't go out, so I'll be fine."
"Yes, I understand. I usually only follow within thirty feet and won't be easily exposed."
"Go out." Murong Yan ordered. Ling Mo nodded and disappeared into the bushes.
At this time, Nanny Jiang, who was standing by, said, "No need for that. I will dispatch additional personnel from the southern border. Besides, the eldest young master's general Mu Yunjin is also on a mission in the capital, so he will not put the prince in danger."
A Rao leaned against Ye Wanqing's chest and said weakly, "Yes, the masked master who robbed us has not been caught yet. He is obviously coming for you, the Crown Prince. Even if I join forces with Prince Ling, we are at a disadvantage. Now that His Highness has transferred Prince Ling to my Prince, who will protect His Highness?"
Ye Wanqing was slightly startled, and immediately thought of that night in Wanxiang Tower when she saw the wound on Murong Yan's chest.
I couldn't see him during that period of time. It was because he encountered danger while investigating the case. He met that masked master!
"Yes, Your Highness, no one will hurt me. Your Highness has transferred Prince Ling away. Who will protect Your Highness?"
Murong Yan stroked his chin in thought for a moment, then raised the corner of his lips and nodded, saying cunningly, "Ah Xu is right. That expert's martial arts skills are too high, and my cousin is no match for him. It seems that I have to live in the Marquis' Mansion and be with Ah Xu every day. That way, we can share two secret guards, and let General Mu Yunjin and my cousin protect us together."
"I believe that if the two of us join forces, we can definitely defeat that expert."
Nanny Jiang stopped him, saying, "It's probably not appropriate for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to live in the Marquis' Mansion every day!"
"Otherwise, let Ah Xu move to the East Palace. He is my study partner anyway, and it's not like he hasn't lived here before." Murong Yan sat down on the chair in the room carefree, as if he was in his own house.
"That's not okay. That was when we were kids, but it's not okay now!" Nanny Jiang insisted, "The Crown Prince even took our young master to a brothel. Your Highness must not get too close to our young master."
"What's wrong with that? Ah Xu and I are both men, and there's no gender difference. There's nothing wrong with living together." He crossed his legs leisurely and said, "I don't care. Either this prince lives in the Marquis' Mansion, or Ah Xu moves to the East Palace. Either way, I want to be with Ah Xu. Let General Mu Yunjin and my little cousin protect us both."
