The doctors hurried over, stood in a row at the door, and went in one by one to treat the queen.
Fortunately, the queen's head injury only looked serious and she bled a lot, but it was not life-threatening.
There might be a mild concussion, but people at that time did not understand what a concussion was. They just told the queen to rest well in the next few days and not to do strenuous exercise to avoid dizziness and nausea.
"Okay, I've taken note of it. Thank you, doctor. Is there anything else I should pay special attention to?" Lan Sisi followed the doctor nervously.
The doctor took her to a secluded corner and gave her a few instructions, and she listened patiently.
The king looked at the pale and unconscious queen lying on the bed, his eyes filled with emotions, and finally he sighed deeply.
Seeing this, Du Xilun wiped his tears and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault as a brother. Sister, please wake up soon."
He knelt down before the king again and sincerely repented, "Your Majesty, all the mistakes are my fault. No matter how you want to deal with me, I will never complain."
He looked at the person on the bed with tearful eyes and said sadly, "But the queen is your wife after all. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard for you over the years. And there is Sisi, she is your own flesh and blood. She is so filial to you and has never had any bad intentions. Please forgive them!"
I am willing to bear all the responsibility alone! The Queen can no longer bear any blows, so you must not let Sisi marry far away."
Lan Sisi walked back, held back her tears, and knelt beside him without saying a word.
The more she said now, the more mistakes she would make. She understood the meaning of the queen's collision, so she couldn't cause them any more trouble. However, her conscience was too strong for her, so she had no choice but to compromise.
The room was silent for a while, with only the sound of Dusilen sobbing. The depressing atmosphere lasted for a long time. Finally, when Dusilen could no longer kneel and her body was about to collapse, the king finally wavered his hand and said mercifully, "Well, since the queen has already taken the consequences herself, I will not pursue this matter any further.
But Du Xilun, you can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. The charge of murdering the crown prince can be serious or minor. Considering that the eldest princess has returned safely, I will dismiss you from your position as Minister of Finance and revoke your title. From now on, you will confine yourself to your own home to reflect on your mistakes."
Du Xilun was overjoyed. He had thought the punishment would be more severe, but he didn't expect that he would only be stripped of his title and dismissed from his official position.
As long as Lan Sisi is still here, won’t it just be a matter of a word from her to reinstate the official in the future?
This time, Dusilun was truly grateful to the king from the bottom of his heart and kowtowed to him three times respectfully.
The king didn't look at him again. "You can do whatever you want."
"Yes!" Du Xilun didn't say anything else. He stood up, glanced at Lan Sisi who was kneeling on the side, and reached out to help her up.
He held Lan Sisi's hand and said earnestly, "I can no longer protect you, Princess. Please take good care of yourself and your mother. Take good care of yourself."
He spoke earnestly, with a pleading look in his eyes.
Lan Sisi understood, but she wished she didn't understand. She didn't want to accept this heavy burden because once she agreed, there would be no turning back.
After a moment's silence, she remembered that the king was still watching her, so she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, uncle. I will take good care of me and mother."
Du Xilun sighed, said okay, and left in a daze.
Lan Sisi turned to look at the king, "Dad..."
The king stiffened for a moment, then his shoulders relaxed. "Sisi, take good care of your mother. When she wakes up, tell her I won't pursue this matter any further. Tell her not to get upset. I'm willing to give her another chance, and I won't let you marry far away. A marriage isn't necessary, and there's no need to be so extreme. You're my daughter, and I wish you the best more than anyone else."
"I will..." Lan Sisi suppressed her tears.
The king shook his head, gave the queen a last, deep look, and turned to walk out. "Louis, send Daixi to the eldest princess, and tell her that if she has any dissatisfaction, let her come and talk to me in person."
"yes."
…
When Lan Shuang received the news from Louis, she was not surprised. In fact, the result was better than she expected. Dai Xi was also sent over. She was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly stabbed Dai Xi to death with a sword and asked someone to carry the body away.
"You said the Queen hit her head. Was it serious?"
Lan Shuang invited Louis to the restaurant to talk. The two sat face to face, with Los sitting on Lan Shuang's right.
Hearing this, he raised his eyes lazily, "Isn't this forcing the king to make a choice?"
Louis's expression was not good either, with a hint of boredom. "I didn't expect the Second Princess to stand up and say she wanted to marry at the critical moment. She may have had good intentions, but she provided the Queen with a great opportunity."
As he spoke, he looked at Lan Shuang's expression, but Lan Shuang just sat there with a cup of coffee, drinking it without changing her expression.
"Da——" The exquisite coffee cup was placed on the small saucer, and Lan Shuang smiled.
"It seems the queen's injuries weren't serious enough. She was able to negotiate the terms with the king in an orderly manner before fainting. This shows that she was very careful when she hit him, and she didn't intend to risk her life at all.
The king should be able to figure out the intricacies of this matter later. It all depends on whether he is soft-hearted enough. After all, they have been married for many years, so there is still some affection. So this result is within my expectations. However, after this incident, Du Xilun was severely injured, and the queen should be quiet for a while."
Louis was puzzled. "If the queen is quiet, how can we catch them?"
