Although the seriously injured person was not the Fifth Prince, he looked too much like him, so out of some intuition, Fangxi still brought him back to the Prince Qian's residence.
Fangrui followed behind Chunming and also heard Fangxi's words.
"It's good that it's not the Fifth Prince."
“But I was in a hurry just now, so I sent someone to the palace to invite His Highness the Crown Prince,” Fangrui said.
"It's alright. Although this person is not the Fifth Prince, it would be good to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to come down." Fang Xi said vaguely.
When the guards carried the man down from the carriage, Fangrui understood Fangxi's meaning.
They look so alike.
Unless someone is very familiar with the Fifth Prince, they might not be able to tell the difference between this person and the Fifth Prince.
Fangrui sent another person to the East Palace to deliver the message. Although His Highness the Crown Prince might already be preparing to leave the palace, it would be good to put his mind at ease a little earlier.
The person was carried into the palace and placed in a guest room.
"Imperial Physician Lin, please do your utmost to save this person," Fangxi said to the physician, then arranged for several guards to stand watch at the door of the guest room.
In the Eastern Palace, Ye Jingchen had just gotten up when someone from the Prince Qian's residence came to report that Ye Jinghe had been seriously injured on the main street of the imperial city.
Ye Jingchen hurriedly sent someone to invite Imperial Physician Zhang, and also took two century-old ginseng roots from the storeroom. Together with Xie Chang'an, they rushed towards Prince Qian's residence.
Just as the group left Donghua Gate, they encountered a messenger from Prince Qian's residence who said that the person only looked very much like Prince Qian, but was not Prince Qian himself.
Ye Jingchen finally felt relieved, but instead of returning to the palace, he continued his journey towards the Prince Qian's residence.
He wanted to see just how similar it was.
When the two arrived at Prince Qian's residence, Fangrui led them to the guest room.
At this time, the physician had already treated Ye Jinghe's wounds.
He didn't utter a sound or even blink once.
But when he saw one of the two men being ushered in, he was so shocked he almost jumped out of bed.
That person was clearly Xie Chang'an, who led the attack to kill him. The fatal wound on his chest was inflicted by him.
At the same time he saw Xie Chang'an, Xie Chang'an also saw him, and his pupils contracted.
Xie Chang'an's first reaction was to subtly half-hide Ye Jingchen behind him.
"What's wrong? Do you know this person?" Although Xie Chang'an's movements were not large, Ye Jingchen knew him very well and immediately noticed this.
"You all go out first," Xie Chang'an said to the people in the room.
Everyone, including the physician and Imperial Physician Zhang, left the room. Xie Chang'an stepped forward and carefully examined the person lying on the bed.
If I remember correctly, this is clearly Ye Jinghe, whom he and his men surrounded and killed in my previous life. The fatal wound on his chest was inflicted by his gun.
But with such severe wounds, the other person shouldn't have survived, and certainly shouldn't be here.
"Xie, Chang, An!" Ye Jinghe called Xie Chang'an's name slowly and deliberately, but he was too badly injured and his breathing was very weak. In fact, he couldn't make a sound at all. Xie Chang'an could only tell from the shape of his mouth that the other party was calling his name.
"Chang'an, do you know this person?" Ye Jingchen stepped forward and asked.
The moment Ye Jingchen saw this person, he knew he wasn't Ye Jinghe, but he had to admit that he looked remarkably like Ye Jinghe.
Xie Chang'an immediately reached out and stopped Ye Jingchen from getting too close to the bed.
This Ye Jinghe is different from the current Ye Jinghe. He hates Ye Jingchen to the bone and has personally killed him.
“He is Ye Jinghe,” Xie Chang’an said.
"How could he possibly be Jing—" Ye Jingchen subconsciously denied, but halfway through his sentence, he sensed something from Xie Chang'an's reaction, looked at the person lying on the bed again, and asked in surprise, "Is he that Ye Jinghe?"
Xie Chang'an nodded.
Ye Jingchen gasped.
However, he now understood why Xie Chang'an was so wary.
In the original book, Ye Jinghe suffered greatly as a child because no one helped him. As he grew up, he became somewhat insane, ruthless, and a mass murderer. His name could stop children from crying at night.
“Since he’s here, it’s a kind of fate. He’s seriously injured, let’s save him first,” Ye Jingchen said.
“He’s too dangerous, and he hates you—the original you,” Xie Chang’an said with some disagreement.
"But I have your protection, don't I? As long as you're here, there's nothing to worry about," Ye Jingchen said with a smile.
"Let's go out first and let Physician Zhang take a look at him." Xie Chang'an looked at Ye Jinghe, who was lying on the bed, for a moment, and then compromised.
Then, without saying a word, he took Ye Jingchen's hand and left.
Looking at Xie Chang'an's back, especially the way he was holding someone else's hand, Ye Jinghe's eyes darkened.
Where is he now?
On the way back, he lay in the carriage and couldn't see the outside world, but the scene he saw after getting off the carriage was completely unfamiliar to him.
Moreover, he had no memory of Prince Qian.
But Xie Chang'an was here.
Who is the person accompanying Xie Chang'an? Why does he look so familiar, yet he can't recognize him?
Xie Chang'an and he seemed to have a very close relationship. The two grown men were holding hands. Could Xie Chang'an be gay?
How come I've never heard of him before?
Also, who exactly is this Prince Qian? Why does he look exactly like him?
He had heard the maid mention the Fifth Prince; he was also the Fifth Prince, but—
Perhaps because there were too many confusions in his mind, his head ached even more, and his wounds also hurt. All the pain came at once, and Ye Jinghe couldn't bear it, fainting while still confused.
"Should we tell Jinghe the truth?" Ye Jingchen asked, waiting outside the guest room.
Before that, they dismissed all those guarding the area.
“We won’t say anything; let him say it himself,” Xie Chang’an said.
If they were to speak, too many secrets would be revealed, and he didn't trust Ye Jinghe.
"Will his appearance have any impact on Jinghe? After all, they are essentially the same person, but two people shouldn't exist in the same time and space at the same time," Ye Jingchen asked with some concern.
"You'll know when your precious little brother comes back," Xie Chang'an said, his tone slightly sour.
"Stay away from Ye Jinghe. He's not the younger brother you raised since childhood. He's a madman who was bullied by the original owner of this body since he was a child. If he finds out your identity, he'll kill you!" Xie Chang'an warned.
“But his reaction just now was very calm. Didn’t he recognize me?” Ye Jingchen asked.
“It’s normal that you don’t recognize me. Your appearance reflects your inner self. You look very different from the original owner now,” Xie Chang’an said.
"How big? Theoretically speaking, we share the same skin, so even if there are differences, they shouldn't be too big," Ye Jingchen said, resting his chin on his hand as he pondered.
