Zhou Qiongyue smiled ingratiatingly at her eldest brother, "Then I'll trouble you, eldest brother. I'll ask Gu Mei to bring you food. It must be made by Gu Yu herself, and you like it. You should also pay attention to rest. If there is something dangerous, don't be stubborn."
If the prince doesn't listen, big brother, just tell Gu Mei, then..."
After Zhou Qiongyue gave her elder brother Zhou Zhiyi instructions, she also showed her little fist to Yuan Bohua in a demonstrative manner, which made Yuan Bohua laugh.
At this moment, Yuan Bohua's thoughts were, "My princess is so cute even when she threatens people!"
Seeing this, Zhou Qiongyue could only glare at Yuan Bohua threateningly.
Yuan Bohua immediately put away his smile and promised seriously, "Don't worry, Yue'er, I promise to take the medicine every day, eat every meal, change the medicine on my arm every day, try to get enough rest, and don't lift heavy objects with your hands."
After hearing Yuan Bohua's assurances, Zhou Qiongyue moved her gaze away from Yuan Bohua with satisfaction.
He turned to look at his eldest brother Zhou Zhiyi, "Brother, I'll be leaving first."
"Farewell, Princess!" Zhou Zhiyi is very well behaved outside.
After Zhou Qiongyue and her group walked away, Yuan Bohua immediately collapsed in his chair. In fact, he was not as relaxed as he appeared.
Zhou Zhiyi also found a spot to lean back. He'd also participated in the melee, and while he wasn't seriously injured, he had a fair share of minor wounds. It was mainly because they were hesitant to act rashly, with most of the elderly and children standing in the way. Since they weren't the enemy, they really couldn't bring themselves to attack.
But even so, Zhou Zhiyi still didn't forget to tease a certain man who wanted to save face, "What are you trying to achieve? Yue'er is not a delicate woman. Even if she saw it, she wouldn't be scared."
Yuan Bohua immediately rolled his eyes at Zhou Zhiyi and asked, "Why didn't you tell Yue'er that you were not only exhausted but also suffered a lot of minor injuries?"
Zhou Zhiyi said he was choked by his brother-in-law, but he still wanted to argue for himself, "My injury is nothing, it will be healed in a few days. Yours is different, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's so deep that you can see the bone."
Yuan Bohua looked at the sun outside. He wasn't actually worried about scaring Yue'er. This brother-in-law didn't even know he'd gone crazy in front of Yue'er before. That shock was definitely worse than this, but the weather was too hot, and he didn't want Yue'er running back and forth every day.
If he gets heatstroke or meets someone with bad intentions, he will regret it.
In Yuan Bohua's opinion, compared with Yue'er's concern and gentleness, he hopes Yue'er is safe more. "It's too hot outside, and running back and forth will bring too many uncertainties. If someone plots against us, we will all regret it."
"Well, that's true!" Zhou Zhiyi also agreed with Yuan Bohua's statement. No one knows who is behind this incident!
Zhou Zhiyi didn't rest for long at Yuan Bohua's place. After a short rest, he stood up and went out to watch the scene. At this time, who knew if there was someone behind the scenes among them?
If anything goes wrong with the evidence or the scene, they will become a laughing stock.
When Yuan Bohua saw Zhou Zhiyi stand up, he also stood up carefully, "I'll go with you!"
Zhou Zhiyi looked at the bandaged area on his brother-in-law's arm, and the meaning was obvious. But he was still worried that his brother-in-law wouldn't understand, so he added, "I'll just go out and keep an eye on it. If your wound gets infected, it will be terrible."
Yuan Bohua said as he changed his clothes, "You are not of high enough status to scare those monsters."
Zhou Zhiyi thought about it and realized that his status was indeed a bit inadequate. His father was only a prince, not to mention him, a minor official of the seventh rank.
Zhou Zhiyi could only take the bandage from the side and bandage the wound on Yuan Bohua's arm again. Finally, after Yuan Bohua had cleaned up, he followed Yuan Bohua out.
Zhou Qiongyue was in the carriage heading back to the palace when she looked at Gu Mei and asked, "Can you tell how serious the prince's injury is?"
Although Gu Mei hadn't seen the prince's wound or taken his pulse, she had seen the prescriptions written by Imperial Physician Dong, all of which were for blood tonics. "The wound should be deep enough to see the bone!"
"Heh!" Zhou Qiongyue sneered when she heard that. Although she was a little angry, she still didn't order to turn back. She understood the prince's good intentions.
"When we get to the mansion, go to the wine cellar and get a jar of red-marked wine. Prepare the medicine and send it over. When the time comes, you will personally change the medicine for the prince and rinse it with the wine before applying it."
The red-marked wine in the cellar was distilled in pottery by Zhou Qiongyue's men. She had figured it out after her father and grandfather were injured during the last spring hunt.
She gave it to Yuan Bohua this time because the weather was so hot and she was afraid that Yuan Bohua's wound would become inflamed. In that era, there were no effective medicines to treat inflammation, so he could only rely on his body to endure it.
Gu Mei didn't know what the benefits of using this wine were, but she felt that there must be a reason why the princess ordered it, so she responded seriously.
After Zhou Qiongyue had given her instructions, she began to think about who was targeting the prince. In fact, Zhou Qiongyue's intuition was that she was a little suspicious of Xie Zixin.
There was no reason for it, it was purely a woman's intuition. However, she couldn't send anyone to keep an eye on Xie Zixin, mainly because she was afraid of alerting the people around the emperor.
In this situation, we can only wait for the emperor's people to investigate first.
The Emperor was furious upon receiving the news and immediately dispatched both the Ministry of Justice and the Secret Guard. Someone was attacking the gates of Yuan'an City. Wasn't this a challenge to the imperial power?
The emperor was determined to severely punish the person behind this, so when he sent people, he was determined to find out.
The emperor's secret guard took action and traced the case back to Xie Zixin that night. The emperor...
Early the next morning, the emperor threw the things found by the secret guards at the feet of Marquis Xuanping in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.
After reading the contents of the memorial, Marquis Xuanping's back was wet. Then the emperor scolded the Second Prince again and finally dismissed Marquis Xuanping from his official position in the court. The Second Prince was also confined to his house for not properly managing the inner chambers.
The Second Prince had woken up early for today's court session, dressed in all his finery, just to watch the excitement. But he ended up being the one causing the excitement, which was quite shocking. He was truly unprepared.
The second prince once again experienced Xie Zixin's stupidity.
The emperor did this because he obviously did not want to punish Xie Zixin. He just wanted to take this opportunity to remove all the claws around Xie Zixin and make her a woman who could only survive in the harem.
The second prince was very angry at being scolded by his father in public in the court, but after he returned home, he used this opportunity to replace the people around Xie Zixin, and his mood became particularly better.
He just didn't know how to explain this to his cousin and good friend. The Second Prince touched the jade pendant on his waist and thought helplessly, "If I go and let my cousin beat me up myself, I wonder if my cousin will calm down."
