As soon as Su Yan arrived at the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion, he saw Xie Xianyu riding towards him.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you too lazy to come?"
Last night, King Xuan used himself as bait, intending to kill King Jin completely. However, he never expected that King Jin had a backup plan. He pushed a scapegoat to take the blame and escaped unscathed.
King Xuan was extremely anxious and summoned Xie Xianyu to discuss the matter. However, Xie Xianyu was too lazy to pay attention and asked Su Yan to deal with it perfunctorily.
Xie Xianyu dismounted and said, "I'm worried you might miss it, so I'll go there myself."
Su Yan was surprised: "When did you become so considerate?"
The servant respectfully welcomed Xie Xianyu and Su Yan in.
"Your Highness, Master Xiao Xie is here."
King Xuan was still furious, but upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly!"
Xie Xianyu and Su Yan walked in together and saw that the room was in a mess. Medicine cups were smashed all over the floor and the maids were kneeling on the ground trembling with fear to clean up the mess.
"Xianyu is here, please sit down." King Xuan was still lying in bed, his leg injured and he couldn't get out of bed, but his attitude was very earnest.
Xie Xianyu is the most important card in his hand. Whether he can succeed in winning the throne depends entirely on him. How dare King Xuan neglect him?
"The prince was injured yesterday and needs to rest." Xie Xianyu glanced at the mess in the room and probably guessed what had happened.
Most likely he is angry and takes it out on others.
"How can this prince be willing to accept this? For the sake of the great cause, this prince has sacrificed himself as bait! Yesterday, I nearly lost my life in Xiangrui Tower and escaped death, but my father still favors Prince Jin! He hasn't even given me a single ounce of punishment!"
King Xuan gnashed his teeth in hatred, his face grimacing.
"Prince Jin was well prepared. There is no solid evidence to prove that he was responsible, so Your Majesty naturally cannot blame him too harshly. Even if this fails, it is already past. Your Highness must recuperate as soon as possible. It is important to take good care of your health." Xie Xianyu said slowly.
"Xianyu, I, like the king, trust no one but you! As long as you are willing to support me, why would I be afraid to even consider the King of Jin?!"
Xie Xianyu's voice was calm, but impatience was already evident in his eyes. "Although the Prince of Jin has not been punished, His Majesty must have become suspicious. He will not tolerate it next time. Rest assured, Your Majesty."
"Okay, okay! I believe you!"
-
The carriage stopped outside the gate of Prince Xuan's mansion. Wanruo got off the carriage and was led by Cailian into the mansion in a hurry. She walked through the nine-turn corridor and entered the Qiyan Pavilion of Princess Xuan.
"My lady, Miss Qi is here."
Cailian shouted, then lifted the curtain and brought Wanruo in.
Princess Xuan leaned on the soft couch, her face pale, and the wide sleeve of one arm had been rolled up, revealing a large red and swollen burn mark. At this time, the little maid held a basin and let her arm soak in cold water, but she still felt pain and sweat on her forehead.
Wanruo was startled and hurried forward: "How could the princess be injured like this?"
"I accidentally got burned."
Also, because the injury was on the body, the imperial physicians were all men, so it was inconvenient for them to examine the injury. Ruwei's medical skills were well-known in the capital, so naturally many families would invite such a capable female physician.
Wanruo went closer to her arm to check the injury and cleaned the wound again.
The burns extended from her arms to the back of her hands, and some places were even still stuck to her sleeves. The injuries were serious, and since she was a woman, the scars would be very ugly.
Princess Xuan's face was horrified with pain, her whole body trembling. Wanruo frowned and tried to comfort her, "Princess, please be patient. If you don't clean it properly, the wound will be even more serious."
Wanruo smelled medicine when she approached her. This medicine should be a recuperation medicine for injured people. How could Princess Xuan drink this kind of medicine when she was fine?
In Prince Xuan's mansion, the only person who might have been injured was probably Prince Xuan. Prince Xuan was assassinated in Xiangrui Tower last night, so he must have been injured.
However, the medicine that was supposed to be given to King Xuan was all sprinkled on King Xuan's wife. Wanruo could probably guess why.
In Prince Xuan’s mansion, who else except Prince Xuan would have the courage to do this?
In such a prestigious Xuanwang Mansion, as an honored princess, she had to suffer such humiliation.
Wanruo kept silent, cleaning her wound silently and applying ointment. "This medicine is for burns. Princess, use it three times a day. After a few days, when the wound is better, use this cream to remove the scar. Your Majesty, if you take good care of it, there will definitely be no scars."
Princess Xuan curled her lips, her face pale, and said, "It doesn't matter if I get a scar."
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Scars are so ugly. Miss Qi's cream is well-known for its effectiveness and is very effective in removing scars. It will definitely restore the scar to its original state." Cai Lian said hurriedly.
Princess Xuan didn't say anything else, but she heard the little maid hurriedly report: "Your Majesty, the prince wants you to come over."
