Chapter 63: Calculated and Cruel
Yu was flustered at the time and didn't even notice Liang Weiyuan's reaction.
Thinking about it now, Liang Weiyuan was really like a dud at that time. She didn't say a word and didn't dare to talk back or disobey like before.
"You are so calculating and ruthless. It's not you who's going to fight, so naturally you are not worried."
At this point, Yu's anger subsided a little. She snorted and shook off Liang Shanyu's hand: "Ke Siyuan has been weak since childhood, how can he withstand the blows of a knife or a sword? Don't blame me for not warning you..."
"Mother, my husband and I are one. How could I joke with his life and let him take such a reckless risk?" Liang Shanyu took the opportunity to get closer, acting gentle and lovely.
"Though those servants don't have the ability to kill with real swords and guns, they all carry self-defense weapons. Besides, although the prince has few guards around him, they are from the Imperial Guard after all. And my daughter-in-law has calculated that reinforcements will arrive soon..."
The carriage suddenly jolted to a halt, interrupting her words.
"Madams, we have entered the palace. Please follow us."
The eunuch's announcement was heard outside the carriage, and the bricks and tiles of the palace wall were reflected in the carriage window.
"You'd better be sure. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong with Siyuan, I'll immediately cut out your heart and use it to make medicine for Siyuan!"
Yu gave a cold warning, straightened her clothes and quickly got off the carriage. Liang Shanyu had no choice but to keep her head down and follow closely.
The carved lattice windows of the west wing of the Imperial Hospital were half open, letting in the aroma of angelica and astragalus.
When Yu and Liang Shanyu arrived, they saw a crowd of people kneeling on the ground inside, with only a few imperial doctors walking around in the hall urgently boiling medicine.
Li Yunheng stood in the first place, having changed his clothes. The distinguished bright yellow color showed his status.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Yu and Liang Shanyu were brought forward and immediately saluted.
Yu anxiously peered into the tightly closed palace chamber, "May I ask, Your Highness, my son..."
"Madam Hou, please stand up quickly." Li Yunheng stood upright like a pine tree and quickly extended his hand to support her.
His dark eyes were filled with a hint of guilt, and his brows were furrowed with worry, as if he were injured.
"I blame myself for being negligent and letting the Second Young Master get involved in this disaster. The head of the Imperial Hospital is doing his utmost to treat him, but I don't know the situation yet."
"Your Highness, you are too kind!" Yu's eyes rolled, and her voice choked with sobs, soft and sorrowful. "Siyuan has admired Your Highness's style since he was a child. It is his blessing to be able to serve Your Highness. I only ask Your Highness not to blame yourself."
Li Yunheng clenched his fingers slightly with guilt. He hated to see women crying, especially when she was the mother of his savior.
His gaze shifted slightly, and just then, the chief monk lifted the veil and walked out. He took a few steps forward, his gentle and solemn aura enveloping him. "Chief Monk Zhang, how is Second Young Master Huo?"
The sixty-year-old Zhang Shouzu stroked his white beard and saluted: "Your Highness, although the Second Young Master's knife wound is deep, it has not reached his heart."
He presented the newly written prescription in his hand: "I have prescribed a prescription to promote tissue regeneration and stop bleeding. Take it overnight. The Second Young Master will be able to wake up by the morning."
"That's great." Liang Shanyu blurted out happily, then hurriedly covered her lips.
Yu glared at her sideways, but saw the prince's eyes slightly curved, revealing a relieved smile, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yunheng personally took the prescription, glanced at it one by one, and then handed it to the eunuch beside him and instructed: "All the herbs required for the prescription should be taken from my private storehouse. Make sure to use the best ones. Take good care of the Second Young Master."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yu quickly suppressed the joy in her heart and expressed her gratitude.
The son is fine, and the prince looks clearly concerned, which shows that although the move was dangerous, it was not a wrong one.
Liang Shanyu's eyes flashed with excitement. Thinking of Liang Weiyuan who was still in the Marquis' Mansion, that bitch who always held a teacup, she must be fidgeting with the account book at this moment?
Soon, as long as they can firmly sit on the prince's boat, they can just wave their hands and the second wife will be able to crush the backbone of the first wife!
"The Marquis's wife and the Second Young Master's wife must be worried. Why don't you stay in the palace tonight?"
When he looked at Yu again, the self-blame that Li Yunheng had been holding in his heart eased a lot, and a warm smile appeared on his handsome face.
