Chapter 291 Is This True Love?
Xiangying whispered, "You two, be quiet and hide in the closet."
After saying that, she had just walked to the door when there was a loud knock on the door.
"According to the Queen's order, thoroughly investigate the defected Sixth Prince and his wives and concubines. Open the door!"
Xiangying opened the door and saw a group of aggressive guards.
She said coldly: "Why are you shouting? It is well known that I have a grudge against the Sixth Prince. If he dares to come to me, I will be the first to report him. Do you still need to search for him?"
The guards stared at her and looked behind her again and again with suspicious eyes.
"You have no say. Let's search first."
After saying this, they pushed Xiangying aside.
Xiangying watched them break into the room and search everywhere, even turning her bed upside down.
But nothing was found.
Until a guard walked up to the cabinet, reached out and pulled it twice, but found that it couldn't be opened.
"What's going on with this cabinet?" the guard asked in confusion.
Xiangying said calmly, "It's broken. It got stuck when I moved in."
The guards pulled hard but couldn't get it open.
In the cabinet, the Sixth Prince grasped the lock tightly, his knuckles turned white and his eyes were red and bloodshot.
I only heard the guard outside pondering, "Such a large cabinet has room for someone to hide."
As he said that, he actually drew out his sword and stabbed it twice into the gap.
Xiangying frowned slightly and grabbed the dagger in his sleeve, ready to kill all these people as soon as the truth was revealed.
The guard holding the sword drew out the sword, and Xiangying saw at a glance the faint bloodstain on the blade, but it was not obvious enough.
Her face turned cold. She didn't expect that the guard was so stupid. He didn't think of looking at the sword blade, but put the sword back into the sheath.
"There's no one here, let's go!"
As soon as they left, Xiangying knocked on the cabinet door.
As soon as the cabinet door was opened, the Sixth Prince fell out.
Lu Panchu sat in the closet and cried, "He, he was just protecting me and was stabbed by the sword. Xiangying, please save him. I beg you to save him."
Xiangying spread a sheet on the ground and dragged the Sixth Prince to lie down on it.
Then she took out her bottles and cans and rinsed his eyes with saline solution.
"Ah——!" The Sixth Prince couldn't help but scream in pain.
Lu Panchu quickly covered his mouth: "Don't scream, it will attract them back. If it hurts, bite me!"
Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince bit his lower lip tightly, and would rather bite it until it bleeds than bite Lu Panchu's hand.
Xiangying glanced at the two of them with mixed feelings.
The Sixth Prince was stabbed in the shoulder, but fortunately the injury was not serious.
Xiangying bandaged the wound simply and gave the Sixth Prince a few antibiotics.
She pondered and said, "It's not safe for you to hide here all the time. Lu Feiyi will find you. He is the queen's man."
"Then, what should we do?" Lu Panchu panicked, "Can we leave the palace now?"
Before Xiangying could say anything, the Sixth Prince grabbed her arm and said weakly, "Send... send Panchu out first. Here is my token..."
He gave Sang-yeong the token that proved his identity.
Xiangying just took a glance and put it into Lu Panchu's hand.
"It's useless for me to hold this, because I have no way to send her out of the palace safely. I can only find a safe place to hide you temporarily, and wait for Jie Chen to come back before I can send you out."
The Sixth Prince nodded and said, "Xiangying, if you don't lie to me, I can give you everything I have, He Jiechen."
Xiangying pressed his eyebrows.
"Sixth Prince, wake up. The emperor has labeled you a traitor and a thief. Most of what you have will be taken away from you. Now just make sure you stay alive. I can only do my best for you and Lu Panchu."
Xiangying has never been a nosy person, but Lu Panchu has never made things difficult for her.
Furthermore, the coat she had given away before accidentally caused the death of her father.
Just consider it as compensation.
Xiangying asked them to wait for a while and set off after nightfall.
During this time, the Sixth Prince fell asleep due to the pain. Lu Panchu sat beside him, holding his hand and crying silently.
Xiangying poured some nutritional supplement into a teacup and handed it to her, otherwise she was afraid that her body would not be able to handle it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Panchu drank it without thinking.
Xiangying was silent for a moment: "Ms. Lu, next time someone gives you something, remember to be more cautious."
Lu Panchu raised his misty tearful eyes: "But, but you are not someone else, Xiangying, I can only rely on you now, I believe in you."
Xiangying was silent again.
Soon, at night, Xiangying put black cloaks on the Sixth Prince and Lu Panchu, and took them through the silent and dark palace corridors.
"Hurry, follow me." Xiangying was familiar with the palace and knew all the shortcuts.
Even the Sixth Prince was surprised: "How did you know this road? I don't even know it. Where are you taking us?"
"You'll know when you get there. There must be no one coming there." Xiangying said, quickening his pace.
When they walked into this secluded courtyard, the Sixth Prince was stunned.
"This seems to be the courtyard where my sister Xining lived when she was alive?" He hesitated.
Xiangying nodded: "Yes, there will be no one here. Since her death, she has been completely forgotten. The palace maids only come to clean the yard every two or three days."
The Sixth Prince looked around silently. Just as she said, there were many dead leaves in the yard and some snow that had not been completely swept away.
He recalled that when Princess Xining was alive, his father always praised her for being as capable as any man.
He also said that she was the princess he was most proud of.
When the news of Princess Xining's death reached the palace, my father was extremely sad.
But then what?
Then it seemed as if this matter had been forgotten by everyone, and Ling Su, as a father, never mentioned it again.
The Sixth Prince suddenly realized.
The emperor did not love his children. He was a complete superior. In his eyes, there was only the difference between the monarch and his subjects, and no father-son affection.
No wonder Xiangying said that he was set up.
The Sixth Prince suddenly wanted to smile bitterly.
However, when Xiangying opened the door, he expected to see an empty house.
Unexpectedly, Princess Xiyue was standing inside the door, her eyes full of surprise, and she met Xiangying's eyes.
"Why are you here?" they both blurted out.
The Sixth Prince was startled: "Xi Yue?"
This was his royal sister, but he quickly realized what was happening and frowned violently.
"Xiangying, knock her out. Her husband Gao Ran is a close confidant of the emperor!"
Of course Xiangying would not do it, Xiyue had helped her before.
However, this time, before she could speak, Xiyue said hurriedly, "You can't stay here, leave now!"
Xiangying pursed her lips and explained: "Xiyue, can you help..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard a surprised shout from behind her.
"Sixth Prince, you are here?"
Everyone turned around and saw Princess Xiyue's husband Gao Ran standing at the door.
