"Stop!" The Third Prince appeared with his Imperial Guards.
The third prince, Ye Fu, is sixteen years old. He is handsome and has the air of a noble young master.
Princess Linglan ran over: "Third Prince, look! Prince Xue, he..."
The Third Prince frowned and interrupted Linglan: "Who is this young lady? I did not ask. If you are injured, please wait aside."
Princess Linglan: "...Your Highness, I am Linglan!"
The Third Prince smirked, looking as if he'd seen a ghost, but quickly masked it: "Oh, Linglan! You were beaten up like this by Jinghe? Although it was wrong of her to hit you, you've never been able to beat her since you were little, so don't provoke her."
Lily of the Valley: "?"
Princess Jinghe smiled: "Your Highness is truly wise!"
Li Shan rolled her eyes and fainted. Before she fainted, she loosened the pendant that she had been keeping in her sleeve.
When the maid came to help her up, her pendant fell off.
The Third Prince froze when he saw the pendant. He had originally wanted to ease the tension, so he greeted Prince Kang and Xue Qianyu and left.
His sudden arrival and departure left everyone somewhat bewildered.
Even the original author, Gu Ren, couldn't figure out what was going on.
Gu Ren's characterization of the Third Prince was that he lacked the talent of an emperor and was merely a tool for the male ruler to dominate the world. As the legitimate son of the Empress, he should have smoothly become the Crown Prince without any surprises. However, Consort Lin and the Seventh Prince were exceptions, so he was forced to compete with others for the position that rightfully belonged to him.
Gu Ren hugged his uncle's neck, his little head aching from thinking. In the end, he gave up. Things had collapsed so completely, and everyone was out of his control. Forget it, he decided to stop thinking about it.
Gu Xin, however, saw it clearly. Li Shan was definitely not really unconscious. Moreover, she had a gut feeling that the things Li Shan dropped were intentional, and the Third Prince would definitely recognize them.
No, she needed to go home and tell her father about this, and she also needed to ask Baiyi to send someone to investigate Li Shan. She had a feeling that Li Shan would definitely get in touch with the Third Prince.
Who knows what kind of trouble Li Shan is up to this time?
Ye Wei then made another harsh statement to Xue Qianyu, before calling Princess Linglan and the people she brought with her and leaving.
The people dispersed, leaving only the Gu family, the three members of the Kang family (father and son), and Xue Qianyu.
The thought of Linglan's terrible injuries, and how she would surely complain to him and he would be summoned to the palace for reprimand, made King Kang crave delicious food even more.
So he dragged Uncle Gu along, saying, "Brother Ren, let's go, let's go find the Xue guy. Don't be afraid of Qian Yu. He's coming back from outside and will probably be going to the palace soon. Let's eat something and then leave. We won't run into him when he comes back."
Uncle Gu: "...Brother Kang, are you afraid of Xue Xiao'er?"
King Kang: "...Aren't you afraid? He's so fierce, his eyes look like he wants to kill someone. Didn't you see that I only dared to talk about Ye Wei, and didn't dare to talk about him at all!"
Uncle Gu chuckled: "I'm not afraid! He even worked for me before! He's just not very talkative. Wait a minute, let me check if Sisi and Enzi are hurt. If they're not hurt, we'll go. If they are, I'll take them back to get medicine."
After seeing Gu Si and Gu En, both of them were injured, but not as badly as the scrapes they usually got during training. With the three of them, including the Prince Kang, going to the Xue family's residence in Chengen County, everyone decided to go.
Duke Cheng'en originally intended to go out and watch the excitement, but after getting ready, he heard from his servants that the young master was also at the scene, so Duke Cheng'en obediently stayed at home and didn't go out.
