Xue arrived at the door in a daze, ready to open it and go out, but she couldn't open it no matter how hard she tried. Now she could only hope that Qingdai could get in before the others.
As He Xue bit her arm again, preparing to try one more time, the door was pushed open from the outside.
He Xue patted her head and stared blankly at the person who walked in. She didn't expect it to be the Eighth Prince. Could it be that the person who plotted against her was the Eighth Prince?
The Eighth Prince came in and saw He Xue swaying unsteadily. "What's wrong with you?"
Looking at the Eighth Prince's appearance, He Xue thought that perhaps he had just gotten lucky. She decided to trust him this once. "Quick, let's go! There's a sleeping potion!"
Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince wanted to help He Xue out.
He Xue dodged the Eighth Prince's hand. "I can walk!"
The Eighth Prince looked at He Xue with a wry smile and immediately opened the door, saying, "Be careful!"
A blast of cold air hit them as the door opened, making He Xue more alert.
He Xue finally walked out, having used up all her strength. Just as He Xue could no longer stand, Qing Dai rushed over.
"Princess, are you alright?" Qingdai helped Hexue up.
"It's nothing! I was just drugged!" He Xue said, taking a breath.
Qingdai also noticed the Eighth Prince standing to the side. "Does the Eighth Prince have something to explain?" Qingdai thought that this matter was related to the Eighth Prince.
“It has nothing to do with him! If it weren’t for the Eighth Prince, I might not have gotten out!” He Xue said.
“This servant had no intention of offending the Eighth Prince. Please punish me, Eighth Prince!” Qingdai said.
"It's alright, you're just worried!" The Eighth Prince knew that Qingdai was worried about Xuecai, which was why she was acting this way.
"Princess, after you went in, I found the Ninth Princess and knocked her unconscious!" Qingdai said to Hexue.
"The Ninth Princess?" He Xue felt that she hadn't had much contact with the Ninth Princess, so how could it be the Ninth Princess!
"Qingdai, I can't take it anymore, I'm so dizzy!" He Xue couldn't hold on any longer.
"Princess, Princess!" Qingdai looked at the unconscious Hexue and couldn't support her properly for a moment.
Just as the Eighth Prince was about to step forward to help, someone beat him to it and picked He Xue up.
"Crown Prince!" He Xue felt as if she saw the Crown Prince arrive.
"He Xue, don't be afraid! Your brother, the Crown Prince, is here!" The Crown Prince said, holding He Xue in his arms. Seeing He Xue, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.
Hearing the Crown Prince's voice, He Xue fell asleep peacefully, her head resting against his chest, as obedient as a kitten.
The Eighth Prince watched as He Xue let the Crown Prince hold her. Compared to when he tried to help He Xue earlier, but she refused, He Xue was really trying hard to distance herself from him!
"What happened?" the Crown Prince asked Qingdai.
"It is this servant's fault for not taking good care of the princess. Please punish me, Your Highness!" Qingdai pleaded guilty directly.
"Let's talk about it after Hexue wakes up!" The Crown Prince glanced at Qingdai. He had instructed Qingdai to stay by Hexue's side at all times. Qingdai was definitely not by Hexue's side, otherwise, why would Hexue be like this?
"Thank you, Your Highness! Your Highness, what should be done with the Ninth Princess?" Qingdai asked.
"Throw her in!" The prince turned to He Zhu and said, "Bring Amuguleng over here first!"
Since the Ninth Princess dared to scheme against He Xue, then let her bear the consequences herself!
"He Zhu, remember to light the incense!" As for what kind of incense, He Zhu understood perfectly.
The Crown Prince then carried He Xue away to find the imperial physician.
From the Crown Prince's words, the Eighth Prince could roughly understand what he meant. Could it be that the Ninth Princess wanted to harm He Xue? If so, he also wanted to do something for the Ninth Princess.
After settling He Xue in, the Crown Prince sent someone to find the Imperial Noble Consort and Lady Tongjia, and then arranged for someone to invite Physician Liu.
The Imperial Noble Consort and Lady Tongjia and others arrived quickly.
Looking at the unconscious He Xue, Lady Tongjia couldn't help but shed tears. She had said before that He Xue was not suitable for entering the palace, and every time she entered the palace, nothing good ever came of it!
The Imperial Noble Consort also learned what had happened from the Crown Prince. If it weren't for this incident, she would have almost forgotten about the Ninth Princess. Just like Consort Wuya, she was so ruthless at such a young age.
