Chapter 214: Die Tomorrow, Rise Tomorrow
"Who the hell are you to be worthy of using such a thing!" Lou Xinhui scolded.
"Concubine Hui, I..." Xue Jiaer had seen figures swaying near the gate of the central courtyard, but now they were gone. She knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived.
So, she sneered and lowered her voice, "But, this was the hairpin that Your Highness put on for me when he left my place! I don't know what's wrong with it, or whether I deserve it, but please, Concubine Hui, return it to me."
When Lou Xinhui heard this and looked at her smug expression, she became even more angry.
Xue Jiaer didn't care. Seeing that Lou Xinhui had no intention of returning it, she reached out to grab it.
Lou Xinhui refused to accept it: "How dare you come and take it?! I think you are courting death!"
Xue Jiaer held Lou Xinhui's hand. Lou Xinhui didn't know that Xue Jiaer was not as weak as she imagined, and her hands were very strong.
The maidservants kneeling in the distance came forward using light skills.
Yan Qing, who had just entered the courtyard, stepped forward using light skills.
Yan Nan, who had just caught a snake in the backyard, stepped forward using his Qing Kung Fu skills.
Yuwen You also stepped forward using his lightness skills.
But no one could stop Xue Jiaer from holding Lou Xinhui's hand and putting the Golden Bird Singing Joyful Steps Shake in her hand on her shoulder.
"Jiaer!" Yuwen You pushed Lou Xinhui away, took out his handkerchief and pressed it on the wound. Xue Jiaer sensibly pressed the wound herself.
He picked up Xue Jiaer and took her to the rest room in the middle courtyard.
Yan Qing has already asked someone to invite a female doctor.
When Yuwen You entered the house, he saw it was a mess and had no choice but to go to the backyard.
The backyard was not in chaos, it seemed that Lou Xinhui had not entered the backyard just now.
He wanted to put Xue Jiaer on the bed, but Xue Jiaer stopped him.
"Your Highness! I just laid out your favorite mattress this afternoon. Don't get it dirty. Please put me on the couch."
"It's already this time, why are you still concerned about this?"
"No! I don't want to!" She struggled to get off him.
"Okay, okay! Don't move, just lie on the couch!" Yuwen You had no choice but to put her on the couch.
"Let me check the injury."
Xue Jiaer was unwilling to let go and shook her head, saying, "Your Highness, please don't look at it anymore. Let the female doctor take a look later. I'm afraid it will leave scars and it will never look good again."
As she spoke, she began to cry silently.
"She knows some martial arts, and you were able to hold the hairpin she stabbed you with. You're quite capable." Yuwen You said hatefully.
"Your Highness, don't worry. I will not die at her hands. Your Highness, if your great plan is not accomplished, I will save my own life even if I have to fight her!" Xue Jiaer gritted her teeth, her face firm.
It seemed as if there was only Yuwen You in her eyes.
He held her face in his hands, feeling very distressed.
Yan Qing brought the female doctor over. Seeing that the prince didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Yan Qing closed the door and retreated.
Yan Nan, who had left Xue Jiaer alone, was kneeling in the yard, with a snake lying beside him as evidence.
Also kneeling were Concubine Hui and a group of accomplices.
Not long after, Princess Zhou Jirou, who had received the letter, also rushed over and knelt in front of Lou Xinhui.
"How badly are you injured?" She asked Yan Qing after she knelt down.
"Replying to the Crown Princess, they are still checking it out. Your Highness is inside with him." Yan Qing replied.
"Crown Princess, you must plead for me! I didn't mean it! Besides, I'm just a commoner from Zhaojing, and I'm..." Lou Xinhui pulled Zhou Jirou's sleeve.
She really didn't understand. She was injured, so what? She could beat or punish any lady in the Prince's Mansion as she pleased. So why couldn't she even enter this door today?
"You idiot! If it weren't for your distinguished status, you would have been dead by now!" Zhou Jirou cursed.
"I......"
"Do you think His Highness is doing this for her? He's doing this for his reputation! He's already thinking about us and putting people here first. He's already showing respect to us. If you still come and make trouble, isn't that a slap in His Highness's face?!"
Zhou Jirou has been with Yuwen You the longest, and she is the emperor's eldest grandson, so her position is very stable. She and Yuwen You have had a good cooperative relationship for a long time, and she understands Yuwen You the best.
Yan Qing went to the door and announced, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here."
"Tell her to get off her knees. It's cold. Come inside."
Xue Jiaer knew that these words were meant for her. Lou Xinhui could kneel, but Zhou Jirou could not.
Zhou Jirou hurriedly got up, straightened her clothes and went into the house.
"Your Majesty..."
"Okay, Rou'er, no need to be so polite."
When she wanted to pay her respects, she was stopped by Yuwen You.
"I greet the Crown Princess." Xue Jiaer, who had just been bandaged, wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Yuwen You.
"When we close the door, we're a family. Jia'er, there's no need to be too restrained."
"How is my sister injured?" Zhou Jirou glanced at the bloody cloth on the table and then looked at the amount of blood on her clothes. There was quite a lot of blood.
The female doctor quickly replied, "My Lady Princess, there is only one wound, about three or four centimeters deep, in the flesh, not reaching the bones."
"So deep!" Zhou Jirou frowned and cursed Lou Xinhui a thousand times in her heart.
Xue Jiaer's face was pale, but she still said, "You two should go back and rest quickly! My little injury is nothing."
Yuwen You didn't want to stay. He said to Xue Jiaer, "Have a good rest. Don't leave the mattress for me to sleep on. I will come to see you tomorrow."
The two of them left the room.
He first walked up to Yan Nan, who had followed him for many years and understood at a glance that Yan Nan was stuck and couldn't stop him.
"Jia'er begged for mercy and wouldn't let me punish you. Since you still need to guard me, I'll spare you this time. From now on, you must guard me day and night and not leave me even a step. If I get hurt again because of you leaving, you can deal with it yourself. You don't need to come to see me again."
"Yes, Your Highness." Yan Nan kowtowed.
"Your Highness..." Lou Xinhui called out.
But Yuwen You ignored her and walked straight out of the yard.
"Get up and talk about it when we get home." Zhou Jirou ordered for him.
When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, the women in the family had received the news and were already waiting in the courtyard.
"Now that I'm back, are you happy? But I'm telling you, I'm not happy at all. From this month on, everyone's monthly salary will be suspended for six months. If the various courtyards focus on saving money, they won't be thinking about other things! And they won't hinder my great cause!"
Yuwen You looked at his wives and concubines in front of the hall.
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to speak, they kowtowed and left, fearing that if they walked too slowly, they would lose their lives.
After everyone left, only Zhou Jirou and Lou Xinhui were left.
"Your Highness, I really just wanted to go and take a look. I didn't..." Lou Xinhui knelt down to explain.
"You have done a good job of showing your authority. I just don't know if you are showing it to the people behind you, or if General Lou is showing it to me." Yuwen You lifted her chin and asked.
Lou Xinhui was shocked and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, this has nothing to do with father. I'm just curious about this Zhao Jing girl! There's nothing else to it. I'm just jealous, nothing else!"
"Don't worry. If you want to use my mother's family to show me your displeasure, then we'll see who has the stronger displeasure. In this northern expedition, there will definitely not be a single general or soldier with the surname Lou. The Lou family ends with your brother. Tianyao will never have another general with the surname Lou. As for you, get back to the courtyard and don't leave until you die!"
"Your Highness!" Lou Xinhui exclaimed.
"Die tomorrow, rise tomorrow." Yuwen You added.
