Her body was covered with filth and purple and red marks, especially the densely packed area around her waist. Jia Shichang bit the soft flesh inside his lips tightly, unwilling to give in to his anger but having to swallow his anger. With trembling fingers, he picked up the quilt and covered Jia Yueling with it.
"Your Majesty, I choose the Rongguo Mansion." Jia Shichang lowered his head, a vicious and dark light flashing in his eyes. The blood vessels in the hand holding the sword were bulging, and blood was dripping from the end of the sword.
Xie Guanlan didn't even bother to look at it. He was always cautious in doing things. He just glanced at the personal guard beside him. The guard understood what he meant and drew his sword, stabbing it into the quilt again.
After stabbing the man seven or eight times in a row and making sure that the man was dead, the secret guard stopped.
"I knew it, the Duke is sensible." Xie Guanlan slowly raised his lips, and said with a forced smile, "It's getting late, so I will go to the palace first. My dear, please stay here and take care of the funeral."
Jia Shichang was so angry that his whole body was shaking, but he could only swallow his anger and bow his head and say: "As you command, I respectfully send you off, Your Majesty."
Xie Guanlan left nonchalantly.
After making sure that Xie Guanlan and his men had left, Jia Shichang fell to the ground weakly. With a grim face, he lifted the quilt with trembling hands, and saw Jia Yueling's expression of unwillingness to close her eyes.
"Daughter... My daughter!" Jia Shichang cried bitterly. He reached out and closed Jia Yueling's eyes, his eyes filled with hatred and malice. "Blame yourself for not listening to me. There are hundreds of lives at the Duke of Rong's Mansion. I have no choice!"
"Don't worry, today's justice will be redeemed for you sooner or later!"
"I can't do anything to His Majesty, so how can I do anything to a prisoner of war from a fallen nation?!"
Because of anger, Jia Shichang's chest was heaving violently. He glared fiercely, thinking with hatred,
He will definitely make that bastard who lost his country pay for Yue Ling's life!!!

Arrive at the palace.
Xie Guanlan rushed into the bedroom and saw Qingyin sitting beside the bed with her brows downcast and tears streaming down her face. His heart suddenly tightened and he strode quickly to the bedside: "What's wrong, Princess?"
"Your Majesty." Yu Qingyin was suddenly startled. Seeing Xie Guanlan, she shrank back in fear. There was a smell of blood in the air. She couldn't help but frown. She saw a bloody spot on the corner of Xie Guanlan's face. She immediately understood what he meant and stepped aside sensibly. She whispered, "Sister Jiang has been waking up late, and her body temperature is getting hotter. If she keeps doing this..."
Xie Guanlan frowned, and with a worried look on his face, he reached out and touched Jiang's forehead: "Why is it still so hot?"
"What about those quacks?!"
Yu Qingyin sniffed and cried, "There's nothing a quack doctor can do. She's already been given all the necessary medicine. I can only wet my fur and wipe Jiang Mei's body."
A surge of anger gathered in Xie Guanlan's chest. He pursed his thin lips tightly, and his whole body was visibly restless.
Xie Qingyin's crying upset him, but he couldn't kill her. Xie Guanlan could only frown and sternly say, "If you want to cry, get out of here and cry."
"It's bad luck to cry about the princess before she's even dead!"
Qingyin's crying stopped abruptly. She crawled outside and then covered her mouth and sobbed.

Xie Jiang was really hurt this time. He had a fever for three days. He woke up twice in a daze, but soon fell into a coma again. He changed countless imperial physicians and even invited many folk doctors. Most of them were pretending to be gods, and finally he was thrown out by Xie Guanlan.
Xie Guanlan had never closed his eyes in the past three days. He stayed by the bed day and night, his eyes fixed on the woman's pale and fragile face, his heart sinking again and again.
Yu Jiang felt a splitting headache and slowly opened her eyes. She was stunned for a moment and gradually lost consciousness. She licked her dry lips and saw Xie Guanlan who was drowsy beside the bed.
