Princess Pingnan said softly, "Xian'er's riding and archery skills were taught by the Prince, and his reading and writing were also introduced to her by the Prince himself."
“He has admired the prince since he was a child and dreamed of becoming someone like the prince.”
"The prince often says that among all the young masters in the prince's mansion, Xian'er is the most like the prince."
"Now that he is injured like this, what he wants most is Your Highness's concern. Please help Xian'er find a good doctor to treat him."
Her evasive and emotional appeal touched the heart of the Prince of Pingnan.
He recalled the days when Ye Jingxian was a child and followed him closely, and sighed deeply, saying, "Xian'er is my favorite son."
"The bond between me and Xian'er, like that of father and son, is irreplaceable..."
After he finished speaking, he reached out and gently pulled Princess Pingnan into his arms, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely find someone to heal Xian'er's leg."
Princess Pingnan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as long as Prince Pingnan hadn't completely given up on Ye Jingxian.
As long as Ye Jingxian's leg can be cured, they still have hope.
Just then, a commotion broke out outside.
The Prince of Pingnan frowned slightly: "Who's making such a racket outside?"
Yan Nan hurriedly walked in from outside: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince has returned."
The Prince of Pingnan's expression changed slightly. He glanced at the Princess of Pingnan, whose expression was rather unpleasant.
Because Ye Junfei returned far too quickly.
Given Ye Junfei's temperament, he probably won't let this go easily this time.
She immediately wiped away her tears and said, "Your Highness, even if Xian'er was at fault this time, he is already so badly injured."
Her implication was that the Prince of Pingnan should appease Ye Junfei and downplay the matter.
The Prince of Pingnan glanced at Ye Jingxian lying on the bed, took a deep breath, and pointed at her nose, saying, "You..."
Lying in bed, Ye Jing hummed softly a couple of times.
The words that the Prince of Pingnan was about to say were swallowed back down. He asked Yan Nan, "Did only the Crown Prince return?"
Yan Nan lowered his head slightly: "No, besides the Crown Prince, there's also the Crown Prince's wife and the Princess..."
She glanced at the Prince of Pingnan as she spoke, "The Crown Prince has also invited the Imperial Clan Court Minister."
The veins on the Prince of Pingnan's forehead throbbed. He knew all too well what it meant for Ye Junfei to invite the Imperial Clan Minister here at this moment.
Although he was Ye Junfei's father, he felt inexplicably apprehensive at this moment.
He took a deep breath and glared at Princess Pingnan: "Look what you've done!"
Princess Pingnan lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
Ye Junfei's voice could be heard from outside: "Father, please do justice for me!"
At this moment, the Prince of Pingnan did not want to see Ye Junfei at all, but he had no choice but to see him.
He took another deep breath and strode out.
As soon as he went outside, he was startled by what he saw.
Ye Junfei stood there covered in blood, with Ye Qingwan lying on a stretcher and a group of injured guards behind him.
Beside him stood Lin Xiuyan, who was also covered in blood.
Their clothes were tattered and they were covered in blood; it was a truly shocking sight.
However, when the Prince of Pingnan thought about how these few people had almost wiped out the entire Xuanzi Camp, his feelings became extremely complicated.
Ye Junfei's abilities far exceeded his expectations, which, from a broader perspective, is a good thing.
But from an emotional perspective, it left him feeling somewhat helpless.
When Ye Junfei saw him, his face was pale. He said, "I was recuperating in the manor when I encountered a very special group of bandits. I beg my father to do justice for me!"
After he finished speaking, he swayed as if he might faint at any moment.
Zongzheng reached out to support Ye Junfei and said, "Young Master, don't worry. With the Prince here, he will definitely give you justice."
The Prince of Pingnan feigned ignorance and asked, "Where did these robbers come from? What's wrong with you all?"
Ye Junfei opened his dark, peach-blossom eyes and looked at the Prince of Pingnan, saying, "I also want to ask my father about this matter."
“I always thought my father was incredibly brave and incomparable. He governed the entire Liefeng Prefecture so well that no one would pick up lost items on the road and no one would lock their doors at night. He was my role model.”
"But now so many robbers have appeared. I want to know, is this because Father is incompetent, or is someone just too arrogant?"
The Prince of Pingnan's expression changed slightly, and Zong Zheng said from the side, "The bandits are incredibly audacious, killing all the people in the entire village."
"The Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and the Princess are all seriously injured. This is a provocation against the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. We urge Your Highness to severely punish the culprit!"
The Prince of Pingnan's eyes flickered slightly, and he pretended to be very angry: "Who dares to be so bold?"
Ye Junfei looked at the Prince of Pingnan and said, "I haven't been back at the Prince's residence for long and I don't know much. I would like to ask my father to come and see who this murderer is."
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and several guards carried up a pile of things.
Those items were all waist tags, with extremely intricate patterns on them. The front was engraved with the character "玄" (Xuan), and the back was engraved with a person's name.
When the Prince of Pingnan saw these waist tokens, the muscles on his face twitched.
Because as long as he wasn't blind, he could recognize that it was the waist tag of the Xuanzi Camp.
King Pingnan cursed Ye Jingxian in his heart. This idiot actually let the Xuanzi Camp men, wearing waist tokens, ambush and kill Ye Junfei.
How should this be resolved?
Actually, he wasn't worried about Ye Jingxian being careless, since in his view, the two sides were far too mismatched in strength.
He felt that as long as the Xuanzi Camp was mobilized, they could easily wipe out Ye Junfei and his group.
As long as they are all killed, it doesn't matter if a few members of the Xuanzi Camp die. They can clean up the battlefield themselves and erase all traces.
But this time they ran into a brick wall. Not only were more than half of them killed or wounded, but Ye Jingxian was also seriously injured and there was no time to clean up the battlefield.
When they encountered Lin Xiuyan, a person who did not play by the rules at all, it was already destined that their identities could not be hidden.
After she killed the soldiers of the Xuanzi Camp, she ordered Wu Ge and other guards to strip them naked.
As they were stripped naked, all their other belongings were also taken away, including their waist tags.
When Lin Xiuyan left yesterday, Ye Junfei had his guards take all of these things with him, so there was no need to collect them separately.
Prince Pingnan wanted to cover up Ye Jingxian's situation again, but given the circumstances, it was impossible to conceal it.
Because once Ye Junfei checks the roster with the Xuanzi Camp and requests to see the living people, the matter will be impossible to cover up.
The Prince of Pingnan looked at Ye Junfei, who turned back to look at the Prince of Pingnan, his peach blossom eyes revealing no trace of mockery or disgust.
The Prince of Pingnan had never truly understood Ye Junfei. At this moment, he felt that his son had grown to the point where he could no longer control him.
Before he could speak, Zongzheng looked the father and son over and said, "These are all waist tokens from the Xuanzi Camp."
"To prevent anyone from impersonating members of the Xuanzi Camp to murder the Crown Prince, Your Highness, please bring out the Second Young Master so that we can re-verify the Xuanzi Camp's personnel."
