"Your Highnesses, it was Consort Wanliuha who fell down, and Princess Hexue was knocked down by her while trying to help her up!" Su Peisheng said simply.
"Wanliuhashi?" Consort Tongjia absolutely did not believe that Wanliuhashi had fallen for no reason. "How could Wanliuhashi have fallen?"
"This servant accompanied the Fourth Prince and others to Chengqian Palace, but halfway there we saw the Concubine punishing the Princess by making her kneel down!"
"As soon as the Crown Prince spoke, the concubine lost her balance and fell down!" Su Peisheng said.
"Serves her right! He Xue shouldn't have helped her up!" Consort Hui said with satisfaction from the side.
"Say less!" Consort Rong tugged at Consort Hui and shook her head.
"Wanliuhashi dares to bully me because of the baby in her belly! It seems I have been too lenient with her!"
"Ren Dong, go and invite the Emperor. Tell him that if he comes too late, Wan Liuha's belly will be ruined!" Consort Tongjia said domineeringly.
"Yes, this servant will go right away!" Ren Dong immediately ran towards Chengqian Palace.
Soon the Crown Prince carried He Xue all the way back to Chengqian Palace, followed by the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince.
Consort Tongjia ran over, trying to take He Xue from the Crown Prince's arms.
"Mother Tong, let me do it. He Xue was hit by Wan Liuhashi. Let the imperial physician examine her carefully before we talk about it!" The Crown Prince felt that He Xue only felt safe in his arms.
"Alright! Then let's wait for the imperial physician to arrive!" Consort Tongjia quickly replied, fearing that He Xue might be injured.
The Crown Prince carried He Xue directly into the inner palace, and Consort Tong Jia followed him in.
"Aunt!" He Xue looked extremely aggrieved when she saw Consort Tongjia.
"He Xue, where does it hurt? Tell your aunt that the imperial physician will be here soon! Go and see if the imperial physician has arrived yet!" Consort Tongjia turned to Banxia and said.
"Make way, Physician Liu is here!" The eldest prince rushed in, leading the panting Physician Liu.
The Fourth Prince dragged Imperial Physician Liu into the inner palace.
Physician Liu prepared to pay his respects to the people inside the room.
"Come and see He Xue first!" The Crown Prince directly stopped Physician Liu from bowing.
Physician Liu approached the Crown Prince and carefully examined He Xue's hand. "Your Highness, the princess's hand is fractured and needs to be set!"
"What are you standing there for! Hurry up!" If it weren't for the Crown Prince's upbringing which forbade him to swear, he would have already cursed. What is this imperial physician dawdling about? Can't you see that He Xue's face is pale with pain?
"Yes!" Physician Liu said to He Xue, "Princess, please bear with it! It will hurt a bit when the bones are being set!"
He Xue nodded.
She knew that bone setting would hurt, but she didn't expect it to hurt this much. "Ah!"
Seeing He Xue's pained expression, the Crown Prince wished he could take her pain upon himself. Fearing that He Xue might bite her tongue, he stretched his arm to her mouth.
He Xue was in so much pain that she didn't even know what was in her mouth, so she opened her mouth and bit it.
He Xue felt a metallic taste in her mouth and then realized that she had bitten the prince's arm.
"Brother Crown Prince, I'm sorry, I didn't notice!" He Xue said remorsefully.
"It's nothing!" the crown prince said nonchalantly.
The Crown Prince looked at Physician Liu expressionlessly and said, "Physician Liu, I don't want anyone outside this room to know what just happened!"
Without even raising his head, Physician Liu said, "I'm only here to treat Princess Hexue's injuries!"
"Physician Liu has a bright future!" the Crown Prince said with a smile. If the Emperor or anyone else knew that He Xue had injured him, He Xue would definitely be in trouble.
Physician Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't know if it was Princess Xue who was unlucky, or if it was him who was unlucky. Every time Princess Xue was injured, it was him who was on duty.
He Xuejian noticed that it was Physician Liu again. She couldn't help but wonder if Physician Liu was the only physician in the Imperial Hospital? Why was it always Physician Liu who came whenever she was injured?
"Princess, try not to use this hand for the time being. If it dislocates again, it will have to be reattached, and it will probably hurt even sooner than it does now!" Doctor Liu advised.
"I understand, thank you, Physician Liu!" He Xue replied, knowing she would never use that hand.
"Physician Liu, please take a look and see if He Xue's knee is also injured?" the Crown Prince said to Physician Liu.
The Fourth Prince turned around immediately.
Seeing that the Crown Prince showed no sign of turning around, He Xue called out, "Crown Prince!" and then pointed to the Fourth Prince.
The Crown Prince looked at He Xue with a wry smile, "Why are you still caring about these things at a time like this!"
He Xue wanted to say that it wasn't her who cared, but the times that cared. Nowadays, wearing a bikini is fine, but here, showing an arm is considered a big deal.
Seeing that the Crown Prince had already spoken, Consort Tongjia could no longer say anything more.
He Xue rolled up her trouser legs; her knees must have been bruised by a stone, just a minor external injury.
Physician Liu cleaned and bandaged He Xue's wound, and instructed her not to let the wound get wet.
After He Xue treated the wound, Consort Tongjia finally had a chance to ask He Xue what had happened.
