Injuried

Duan Yiling said sullenly, "We have someone to take care of Little Eleven!"

Queen Duan said helplessly, "Eleven is only six years old, how can he protect so many people, right?"

Duan Yiling nodded ignorantly. What his aunt said made a lot of sense.

Duan Cenyue stayed by Xiao Ruyu's side all the time, his eyes full of worry. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never leave Xiao Ruyu's side and not let her get hurt.

He was also wondering why he was so close to the little princess, but he was the princess's secret guard and it was his duty.

The doctor had never seen such a big scene before. He knew that the person he was treating was not ordinary, but he did not expect him to be so powerful.

"Doctor, is there anything wrong with my child?"

Xiao Ru'an was seriously injured. Lang Zhong was very nervous and had already taken out the ancestral prescription to save his life.

"Madam, please rest assured. Your son is injured and needs to rest for a few months. He will be fine. However, his wounds are fatal. He will die if he is not careful. The person who injured him has killed him!"

Empress Duan felt mixed emotions when she heard what the doctor said.

She stayed by Xiao Ru'an's side, taking care of him and wiping his sweat. She heard that the eldest prince was injured in a fight with a human boy in order to protect the little princess.

Queen Duan was a little surprised. Normally, she and Xiao Ru'an had almost no mother-son relationship, but she never expected that he would risk his life for Yu'er.

Duan Yun is the most grateful person. Seeing that Xiao Ru'an almost lost his life for her daughter, she secretly decided to take better care of Xiao Ru'an in the future.

When Xiao Ru'an woke up, it was already evening.

Empress Duan was worried that the boy might have some tricks up his sleeve, so she took the children and left the clinic. As for the doctor, she gave him a thousand taels of silver for revenge.

The doctor had never seen such a generous gift, and he knew in his heart that the person he saved was of extraordinary status, so he suppressed his curiosity and accepted the silver.

Xiao Ruyu lay in Eleven's arms, leaned her head out to look at the eldest prince who was held by the guards, feeling extremely guilty.

[I will not play around anymore. I almost hurt my eldest brother. It's my fault.]

She forgot her different identity and faced countless dangers when she left the palace.

Duan Yiheng followed behind the queen and asked softly.

"Aunt, have you found the person behind this?"

The queen had just heard the little princess's thoughts and learned that she felt guilty. She thought that if she told her another thing, perhaps the little girl would be happier.

"The person behind the scenes has not been found. Chen Hu and the Taoist nun kept their mouths shut. They didn't say a word."

Duan Yiheng and Duan Yiling knelt down, their faces filled with guilt.

"Aunt, please punish me."

Queen Duan helped the two children up. Although Duan Yiheng was the eldest, he was only about eleven years old and still a young boy. They were not to blame for what happened today.

"In the future, you should bring guards with you when you go out. My sister is still young, so fortunately nothing serious happened, otherwise it would be difficult to recover. However, you helped Lord Lin solve a troublesome matter today."

Duan Yiheng looked at the queen eagerly and asked excitedly.

"Aunt, what's going on?"

Queen Duan did not keep the children in suspense and told them the news from Lord Lin.

"Let's talk about this when we get back to Fengyi Palace. An'er is seriously injured, so we need to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."

The children had no choice but to nod their heads obediently. When they arrived at Fengyi Palace, Emperor Shangwen and the imperial physician had been waiting for a long time.

Lord Duan was relieved to see that his children were safe and sound, but he looked at his two sons coldly and frowned.

"The young prince is still young, how dare you two rebellious sons take the little princess and the eldest prince away from the palace!"

Under the pressure of their father's authority, the two young masters of the marquisate knelt down in embarrassment. They were never vague about admitting their mistakes.

After all, when my old father gets angry, he really beats me. Sometimes I have to lie down on the bed for several days. It’s no joke.

"I know I was wrong, but I have tried my best to make amends and rescue Yu'er and the eldest prince. Father, please don't get angry or you'll hurt yourself."

Emperor Shangwen was worried about the eldest prince's injury and said to Lord Duan.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so harsh. I believe Ling'er and Heng'er did not mean it. The two children are safe and sound."

Lord Duan thought it made sense and finally did not punish the two children.

As he spoke, Emperor Shangwen ordered Imperial Physician Yang to check the eldest prince's injuries.

Doctor Yang saw that the eldest prince's body was covered with scars, and his fair skin was full of marks. It seemed that he had been hit hard.

He took out the Black Jade Ointment and handed it to the maid in the Crown Prince's palace.

"This is medicine for injuries caused by falls. Remind Your Highness to apply the medicine every day. You cannot leave the bed for more than half a month. You must rest well, otherwise it will harm your body."

Madam Qi replied respectfully, "Please rest assured, Doctor Yang. I understand."

Emperor Shangwen ordered someone to personally escort the eldest prince back to the palace, praised the eldest prince, and sent people to deliver a lot of rewards to the eldest prince's Zixiao Palace.

"Doctor Yang, you will take care of the eldest prince for the next two days. He is my eldest son and must not be allowed to fail."

Doctor Yang nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

With that, Doctor Yang left with Nanny Zhao.

"Aunt, you haven't finished what you just said!"

Xiao Ruyu also waved her little hands.

[Yu'er wants to know too! Tell me, mother!]

Seeing the children's anxious looks, Queen Duan did not keep them in suspense and spoke directly.

"Many young women have disappeared in the capital in recent years. Originally, it was thought that flower thieves were responsible. However, the government has never investigated the matter and many clues have been lost."

"Yu'er's disappearance happened to tear off the mask of Yuqing Temple. Lord Lin led the officers and soldiers to the backyard of the Taoist temple and dug up a lot of bones and lonely graves. These were all those missing women."

Lord Duan looked solemn, "This group of people, for their own sake, actually caused the death of an innocent girl. They are really not worthy of being human!"

"There are also some girls and innocent babies imprisoned in the backyard. They have all been found by Lord Lin and have returned home. The boy has been imprisoned in the Sky Prison and will be executed on a certain day. This can be considered as an explanation to the innocent girls."

Emperor Shangwen was silent for a while and then let out a long sigh.

"It was a coincidence. If it weren't for Yu'er's disappearance, no one would have known about the conspiracy of Yuqing Temple.

Who knows who else will be abducted? These children have accumulated merits by accident.

Xiao Ruyu, who is usually lively and active, didn't say anything this time. She was silent, and when she realized that she still had some spiritual power, she recited the mantra for rebirth.

[I hope those girls can have a fulfilling life after reincarnation! ]

Xiao Ruyu chanted a spell, and after she finished, she fell asleep in Eleven's arms. As for what happened in the hall, she naturally had no idea.

Emperor Shangwen looked at the little princess with love. His daughter was not only a lucky girl, but also had a kind heart. She would definitely be a good princess who was dedicated to serving the people in the future.

God has been very good to him. With this little lucky star, the Celestial Empire will become even better.
