Jiang Qingqing was immersed in thinking about countermeasures and did not understand Xin Juan's meaning for a moment.
"I'm not in big trouble, am I?"
Xin Juan looked unhappy, and even looked serious. She shook her head and said quickly, "That's not what I meant. It's that the Third Prince...something happened."
"My brother?! What happened to him!?"
Jiang Qingqing's eyebrows jumped, she hurriedly stood up from her seat, looked at Xin Juan, and asked hurriedly.
Xin Juan pointed in the direction of the gate and said, "I didn't hear the details. I only know that the Third Prince was shot and injured. But for details... you need to ask Xiao Anzi who is waiting for you at the gate."
Xiao Anzi is the father-in-law of Jiang Chen.
Xiao Anzi did not stay with Jiang Chen and returned to Huaning Palace, which must mean something bad is happening.
Jiang Qingqing ran out quickly and saw Xiao Anzi standing at the palace gate not far away.
When Xiao Anzi saw Princess Dunming coming, he waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, please follow me to the Imperial Hospital. I will tell you in detail on the way."
Jiang Qingqing nodded in response, and Gan Yuan and Gan Lin followed closely behind her.
On the way to the Imperial Hospital, Jiang Qingqing learned the situation from Xiao Anzi.
When inspecting hunting forces at the horse training ground, an arrow suddenly shot out from the bushes. Fortunately, Prince Xiao managed to save the arrow, at least it was away from the heart and only injured the shoulder blade.
Even so, Jiang Chen's face was pale and he fell to the ground immediately. The horse ran forward and Jiang Chen fell to the ground. The second blow made Jiang Chen almost dying.
Xiao Anzi had been staying by the Third Prince's side to understand the progress. Only after the Third Prince had settled down did Xiao Anzi dare to come to Huaning Palace to find Jiang Qingqing to report the matter.
When Jiang Qingqing heard the description of the plot, her heart almost tightened and she almost couldn't breathe.
"What's the current situation? Is it serious?" Jiang Qingqing asked hurriedly.
Xiao Anzi shook his head. "The doctor said that he has stabilized. Fortunately, Your Highness was lucky. The wound when he fell to the ground was not aggravated near the shoulder blade. He is still unconscious, but his life is no longer in danger."
Jiang Qingqing frowned, "Did the emperor immediately order a thorough investigation around the horse training ground?"
"Investigated. Once the incident happened, His Majesty handed the matter over to Prince Xiao and asked the people from the Dali Temple to work together to solve the case."
It's good that some action is taken, and since the emperor's uncle is in charge, the truth will surely be revealed.
Jiang Qingqing was still worried.
Before the incident, she made a special trip to the Liguo Han siblings. Judging from Han Qingyi's reaction, Han Qingyi herself should not know the inside story.
The Dali Temple and the Emperor's uncle have not yet determined who the culprit is.
But Jiang Qingqing had already guessed in her heart that Jiang Chen's serious injury must be related to Han Qiming.
We can't use roundabout tactics against Han Qiming anymore.
She thought Han Qiming was a child after all, and he should have some sense and conscience. She never thought that Han Qiming would be so cruel.
Since he is going to be so heartless, he shouldn't care about Jiang Qingqing's cruelty!
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing's expression became even more serious.
They hurried to the Imperial Hospital.
At this moment, the Imperial Medical Bureau was overcrowded. Emperor Qing and Empress Xu were anxiously waiting for the imperial physician's diagnosis in the main hall. Although the other eldest prince and the second prince had serious expressions, at least it could be seen that they were truly worried about their third brother.
With so many people in the room, the Imperial Hospital became a little cramped.
When Jiang Qingqing came over, the gatekeeper of the Imperial Hospital shouted at the top of his voice.
"Father!"
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
I heard the heart-wrenching cry of the little kid, and then I saw a five-year-old child walking hurriedly towards me. His round eyes, which used to be clear black and white, were now filled with tears and his eyes were red.
There was a big tear in her eye socket, which was slow to fall, but she looked quite pitiful.
The first thing Jiang Qingqing did when she entered the hall was to find Emperor Qing's position. Then she threw herself into his arms and cried.
"I only have my third brother as my biological brother. Qingqing cannot live without a brother. Father, please make the decision for Qingqing and my third brother!"
Her snot and tears were rubbed onto Emperor Qing's dragon robe.
Emperor Qing did not show any disdain. He stretched out his hand and Empress Xu took out a handkerchief from her sleeve. Then Emperor Qing carefully wiped the tears from Princess Dunming's face.
"My dear, don't worry. Father will definitely give you and Chen'er an explanation on this matter."
Emperor Qing coaxed her softly, and even picked up Jiang Qingqing himself, holding her in his arms and whispering to her.
The Second Prince, who was standing aside, looked up at the heartwarming scene of Emperor Qing and Princess Dunming, father and daughter, and some bad images came to his mind. He secretly clenched his fists, lowered his head and said nothing.
The eldest prince was used to this matter, and he kept looking into the house with worry.
In the hall over here, the emperor was gently coaxing Jiang Qingqing who was crying and making a complaint, while over there, the imperial doctors who were treating patients in the room came out one after another.
The leading doctor stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness's injury is not serious. The sharp arrow has just been pulled out. Fortunately, Your Highness is in good shape and strong, so the bleeding stopped very quickly. Now you just need to rest in bed and stretch properly, and you will be fine."
The words were not desperate. Although Jiang Chen did not encounter any unexpected accidents in his life, for Jiang Qingqing, it was not enough for Jiang Chen to be safe.
"Father, I will also find out the truth about my brother's grievances. My brother is an innocent man. He treats everyone in the palace very kindly. How could someone suddenly become hostile to him?"
Jiang Qingqing spoke indignantly, she made a scene with dissatisfaction.
Emperor Qing was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to expect that Jiang Qingqing would pray in this way to redress the grievances of the Third Prince.
When I think about the quarrels among the many concubines in the harem, I realize that those people more or less rely on her favor to act recklessly.
Compared to this rational behavior of honestly finding evidence and then asking him for justice based on the evidence.
Emperor Qing is becoming more and more fond of and appreciative of his little daughter.
"Chen'er's case is indeed serious. This matter involves Princess Dunming. So starting today, Princess Dunming will assist the court in investigating the hunting injury at the horse training farm. In addition, Chen'er's recuperation in the next few months will all depend on you, Queen, to pay more attention to him."
When Empress Xu's name was called, she immediately stood up and nodded in response without hesitation.
Here, Jiang Qingqing sat in Emperor Qing's arms, carefully observing Empress Xu's subtle expressions.
Thus, she could confirm that this matter had nothing to do with Empress Xu.
