Chapter 164 The Sixth Princess' Tears

Although Qiong Hua looked down on people like the Third Prince, she would not cause trouble for the Royal Concubine.

She also bowed politely and said with a smile: "In reply to the Third Prince, I am a female doctor in Qingyun Palace."

Without waiting for the Third Prince to reply, Qiong Hua looked at the Crown Prince again and said, "Your Highness, now that the eldest princess is fine, I will return to Qingyun Palace first."

The prince responded with a smile.

The Third Prince looked at Qiong Hua's departing back, and smiled: "I never thought that Empress Chen's palace would have such a powerful female doctor."

The prince did not answer him, but asked instead: "How did the third brother know that Xing Ruo was injured?"

This matter was not made public and was deliberately suppressed for the Queen Mother's sake. If the Third Prince knew about it, he could only have learned it from Xing Hui.

The Third Prince would naturally not admit it: "It was my maid who served me. When I was walking there, I happened to see my brother bringing my sister back to the palace."

The prince nodded and asked no more questions.

The Great Chu Emperor was not idle when he returned to Longsheng Palace. He immediately asked the Dragon Shadow Guards beside him to investigate the matter.

Ying Yi quickly replied to the Great Chu Emperor: "This was done by the Sixth Princess."

The Great Chu Emperor immediately swept the teacup on the table to the ground in anger: "I thought that she no longer had her mother to look after her, so I didn't want to embarrass her. She harmed Yong'an before, and now she's harming Xingruo again!"

After saying this, he stood up and said, "Meng Quande, take the wheel of Rongle Palace."

At this time in Rongle Palace, Lu Xinghui had been brought before the Queen Mother by the Third Prince.

Just now he asked Zhengzhong to find out what happened. His sister would never tell him the truth anyway, so it would be faster to investigate on his own than to waste time talking to her.

Sure enough, it was her who did it.

At this moment, Lu Xinghui was crying in front of the Empress Dowager, "Grandmother, it is my fault today. I have harmed my elder sister."

When the Empress Dowager first heard that Xing Ruo had fallen and her fetus was unstable, she almost died. It was Nanny Su who was serving beside her who took out the pills that had been sent from the Imperial Concubine's palace and calmed the Empress Dowager down.

But she couldn't help but blame the brother and sister in her heart. Everyone in the palace knew that the Queen Mother loved the eldest princess the most. Bringing such things to the Queen Mother was definitely an attempt to irritate her.

It is thanks to the female doctor in Qingyun Palace who prepared this pill. I will need more in the future.

But now these two siblings don't care about the Queen Mother's health at all, they are busy defending themselves!

"My granddaughter and my fifth sister came to Rongle Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager," Lu Xinghui said, still crying, "and saw the cat that my mother raised on the way."

"That cat, that cat had been lost for a long time, and the granddaughter chased after it in a moment of desperation."

"I didn't expect that the cat would be so anxious that it ran straight towards my elder sister."

"My granddaughter didn't mean it." When Lu Xinghui said this, she knelt down deeply and cried on the ground.

"Please ask the Empress to punish her granddaughter."

Lu Xinghui was extremely scared, fearing that the Empress Dowager would really punish him. This was what his third brother had told him when he had just brought him to Rongle Palace.

The third brother said that only in this way could the anger of his father be extinguished.

The Third Prince also knelt down and said, "Grandmother, it was my fault. I was busy with my own affairs and failed to take good care of my sister, causing her to almost hurt my sister."

"Xing Hui is like this because he misses his mother."

"You two brothers and sisters are very filial." The Great Chu Emperor strode in, his eyes like sharp blades that made people dare not look directly at him.

The Great Chu Emperor, however, did not bother to look at them. He walked to the Queen Mother and sat down. Seeing the Queen Mother's anxious eyes, he hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. The female doctor in Qingyan Palace is very powerful. Now that Xingruo has been acupunctured, there is no harm now."

"Really? Don't lie to me." The Queen Mother knew that these people would definitely hide the truth from her. "I want to go to Xingyang Palace to see Xingruo."

The Great Chu Emperor smiled and held the Queen Mother in his arms: "Mother, I am telling the truth. Jin Yao just left Longsheng Palace and said that Xing Ruo would be back to normal after three days of rest."

"Right now, Jin Yao is harnessing a carriage to take Xing Ruo back home!"

The Queen Mother was unhappy when she heard this: "Why do you want to go back home? Can't you just rest in the palace for three days?"

"If Xingruo insists on going back," the Great Chu Emperor shook his head helplessly, "My mother also knows the temper of that child. How can Jin Yao convince her? I can only pave the carriage and find a safe carriage."

"That's fine," the Queen Mother nodded. "She's used to it in the Princess's Mansion. What does the doctor in Qingyan Palace say? Is the bumpy road okay?"

"Jin Yao asked questions in detail before letting Xingruo leave the palace. Don't worry, mother." The Great Chu Emperor was rarely so patient. "Xingruo also said that she would come to pay her respects to mother in a few days!"

Seeing the Great Chu Emperor say this, the Queen Mother finally put down her worries: "If Xing comes to the palace again in the future, prepare a sedan chair. It's getting late, so we still have to be careful."

The Emperor of Great Chu also nodded and asked Meng Quande to give the order.

After comforting the Queen Mother, he turned around and looked at the brother and sister kneeling on the ground. His expression instantly turned cold: "I have already told you that this matter must be kept secret from the Queen Mother. But you two brothers and sisters went straight to the Queen Mother."

Lu Xinghui had always been extremely afraid of his father, but now, because he was afraid that what he had done would be discovered by his father, he was so frightened that he could not utter a word and could only lie trembling on the ground.

I dared not move or speak.

The third prince looked at Lu Xinghui beside him and sighed in his heart: Useless waste.

I couldn't help but feel annoyed. They were brothers and sisters from the same mother, but they were such wastes that they implicated me.

But he didn't realize that he was just like that.

The Third Prince could only raise his body slightly and reply: "Father, my sister was frightened. She was afraid that it was because of me that the princess fell. She dragged me to Rongle Palace. I didn't know it was because of this."

"If I knew, I would definitely stop my sister."

"Father, please forgive Xing Hui this time, considering her young age and ignorance."

After saying this, he lay down again.

It would have been better if the Third Prince didn't say anything. Once he started talking, the Emperor of Great Chu became even angrier and wanted to kick him out.

However, because he was in front of the Queen Mother, he endured it and looked at Lu Xinghui beside him, his tone was not much better: "Are you mute?"

His father's voice suddenly rang above his head, and Lu Xinghui shuddered violently.

"Father, Father, I did not mean it." He could not say anything else and just kept repeating these words.

"Shut up!" The Great Chu Emperor felt that he was worse than a dumb man at that moment. "In that case, you don't have to go back to Changqiu Palace."

Lu Xinghui suddenly raised his head and looked at his father. What did this mean?
