Chapter 590
Huo Yue placed his fingers together on Yunxi's neck and said, "Madam, don't be afraid, you've just been frightened."
Zhong Jie held Yunxi, tears streaming down her face.
Huo Yue glanced around and saw that the soldiers who had come with him had subdued the old women one by one, while several other soldiers went into the woodshed and dragged a man out.
The man had a bloody hole in his neck, and blood was still gushing out.
Although the wound was deep, it was not fatal.
Huo Yue raised his chin and said coldly, "Take him away and let him live until the girl wakes up."
The subordinate responded and dragged the person away.
The old women, pale-faced, were also taken away.
Huo Yue squatted down, his gaze lingering on Yun Xi's face for a moment.
It really does look like it.
“Madam,” his voice softened considerably, “let’s go home.”
After Zhong Jie nodded, Huo Yue reached out and picked up the unconscious Yun Xi. The family of three avoided people and left the East Palace through a small path.
The family of three kept a low profile, but the men and women who were escorting the women walked right past the banquet.
Yun Wan took in this scene, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes.
How come men are involved in this?
Just then, a man approached her: "Please tell His Highness the Crown Prince that my lady is safe and sound. My lord will give an explanation to His Majesty regarding today's events."
They were referring to giving an explanation to His Majesty, not the Crown Prince.
Clearly, this shows a lack of respect for the Crown Prince.
The man left as soon as he finished speaking. Yun Wan swayed, and most of the color drained from her face.
Is Yunxi safe and sound?
How is that possible?
How is that possible?!

Meanwhile, the family of three hurriedly returned to the Prince's Mansion.
On the way, Huo Yue sent someone to the palace to fetch the imperial physician. When they returned, the physician was already waiting for them at the mansion.
Yunxi's half-body covered in blood was truly frightening. The imperial physician was startled and quickly stepped forward to examine her. In the end, he said that it was all someone else's blood.
Before Zhong Jie could even catch her breath, the imperial physician said, "However, the young lady has broken two ribs, but fortunately, no internal organs were damaged. She still needs to take good care of herself."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Jie's face turned pale.
This was all too familiar to Huo Yue, who was skilled in military campaigns.
"Don't worry, Madam. Old Wei came along too. His medicine is the most effective for treating fractures."
Zhong Jie took a deep breath and said, "You see the imperial physician out, and I'll change Xi'er's clothes."
Huo Yue responded and left with the imperial physician.
Soon, the old Wei that Huo Yue had mentioned arrived. Through a screen, he instructed Zhong Jie on how to apply medicine and bandage Yun Xi before turning around to brew the medicine.
Yunxi woke up shortly afterward.
The moment Yunxi saw Zhong Jie, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to move, a sharp pain suddenly struck her, her face turned pale, and she lay back down.
“Don’t worry, you just need to rest for a couple of days,” Zhong Jie said softly. “We have the best doctors, so you don’t need to worry about anything.”
Yunxi took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down.
A wave of blood appeared before her eyes again.
She instinctively grabbed Zhong Jie's hand: "Mother, did I... kill someone?"
Zhong Jie was too shocked to react to her address and instinctively grasped her hand, saying, "No, no, that person is alive and well."
Fearing that Yunxi wouldn't believe her, Zhong Jie called out "Mama Shui" loudly. Soon, the window was opened, and a person was brought out of the window.
The man's neck was hastily wrapped with gauze, and blood was seeping through. His face was flushed and filled with terror.
Yunxi recognized him; he was the one who had attacked her in the East Palace woodshed.
He didn't die at her hands after all.
Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
With a single gesture, Zhong Jie pulled the man away.
