“It hurts… ow… It hurts…”
"Where's the doctor? I'm in so much pain..."
The arrow in Jiaruo's thigh had been pulled out, and the imperial physician had applied medicine, but after the effect of the Ma Fei San wore off, the pain spread, and Jiaruo wailed in pain on the bed.
Unfortunately, both of her legs were injured and she couldn't even turn around.
The maid wiped her sweat and comforted her: "Princess, the medicine will work soon. It will not hurt so much after you drink it."
Jia Ruo was in so much pain that sweat broke out on her face, especially when she thought that the injury was caused by Xiao Li, she could not bear it at all.
"Someone, go find my brother."
Maid: "The prince has gone to the palace."
Jia Ruo: "Idiot, don't you go and see if he's back?"
One of the maids took the order and left, while the other one wrung out a towel to wipe Jiaruo's face.
After a while, the maid came running back: "Princess, the prince is back, but he went to Luoxue Pavilion."
Luoxue Pavilion, as the name suggests, is where Xuezhi lives.
"Didn't you tell me I was looking for him?"
The maid bowed her head and said, "I did say that, but Miss Xuezhi was ill, and the prince hurried over after hearing about it."
Jiaruo's face twisted for a moment.
Snow Ganoderma, Snow Ganoderma...
Xuezhi was picked up by her brother more than two months ago. She was sick and frail and almost died. The scars on her face were said to be caused by being mutilated and poisoned.
Even though she looked so ugly, her brother was obsessed with her and treated her very well, caring for her in every way, like his sweetheart.
Jia Ruo has a bad relationship with Princess Yanping. Her brother ignored the princess and favored an ugly woman, which made her feel that he had slapped her sister-in-law in the face. She was happy to see her brother suffer.
Xuezhi is timid and kind-hearted. He is very tolerant of her and will even help protect her in front of his brother. Apart from being a little ugly, she has almost no shortcomings.
Moreover, her experience was so pitiful: amnesia, disfigured by poisoning, and wandering in the wilderness. Jia Ruo couldn't help but feel pity for her.
Along the way, she and Xuezhi became as close as if they were real sisters.
But no matter how good their relationship is, she cannot accept that her legs were injured because of Xuezhi. It is painful enough to suffer such pain, and now Xuezhi is competing with her for her royal brother!
In Luoxue Pavilion, Xiao Jingzhao hugged Xuezhi tightly. After losing her memory, she was extremely fragile and could not stand any stimulation.
Noticing that she had fallen limp in his arms, Xiao Jingzhao knew that she had fallen asleep.
He gently placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
He gently stroked her eyes with his fingertips and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Seeing her brows still furrowed even when she fell asleep, he felt extremely distressed.
The girl he had always cherished in his heart was tortured to this extent.
Xuezhi was not sleeping peacefully. She felt someone touching her and unconsciously moved closer, murmuring uneasily: "Brother Yanzhi... Brother Yanzhi..."
Xiao Jingzhao's expression instantly turned gloomy, and his pair of cold eyes like a venomous snake stared at Xuezhi's face, his eyes full of cruelty.
"That loser Lu Yanzhi couldn't protect you at all. He even died at the hands of a woman. Why are you still thinking about him?"
"He should be thankful that he is dead, otherwise I would never forgive him."
Thinking of Lu Yanzhi's death at Xuanyang's hands, and the imposing Xiao Xuanyang today, Xiao Jingzhao couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that she also harmed you?"
The emperor's questions echoed in his mind. It was no wonder that the emperor couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure it out either.
Xuan Yang had clearly been hiding and didn't want to see them, so why did he go out today?
And she just had someone pull off Xuezhi's veil, as if to confirm her identity.
Combined with the various rumors he had heard in the past two days, saying that Princess Xuanyang was jealous and chased the princess with a knife, Xiao Jingzhao could be sure that she was coming for Xuezhi, and Xuezhi's experience and the poison in her body must be related to her.
After not seeing her for many years, she turned out to be so vicious.
There was a storm brewing in his eyes, but the moment he looked down at Xuezhi, it softened into heartache and determination.
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."
Jiaruo was in so much pain that she was about to pass out when Xiao Jingzhao came slowly.
"Jia Ruo, I went to see the emperor, but he favors Xuan Yang and won't help you get justice."
Seeing Jia Ruo's ugly face, he said: "Xiao Jingyun is not the emperor, he will not be partial to us anymore."
Thinking back to when he was made a king and then demoted to the frontier, it seemed that his father had never been partial to them.
"We can only avenge ourselves. Xuan Yang is no longer the fool who could be easily bullied. This matter must be carefully considered. You should first recover from your injuries and wait for my arrangements."
Jia Ruo snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Brother, do you still remember that you have a sister like me?"
As soon as Xiao Jingzhao heard it, he knew she was angry because of Xuezhi: "You are my only sister, no one can surpass you. You also know her illness. Be sensible and don't make things difficult for me."
He never mentioned Xuezhi's identity or his guess. Prince Chen was now a rebel but he was not dead after all, and Princess Chen was still his wife, so the fewer people knew about Xuezhi's identity, the better. Even if she was his sister, he would not trust her.
Jia Ruo snorted twice more, but didn't continue to pester him: "What about Xuan Yang? I'm in so much pain now, I wish I could chop her into pieces right now!"
"She used to be so timid and beg for mercy in front of me, but now she's biting me. I have to teach her a lesson!"
Jia Ruo is very dependent on Xiao Jingzhao. Her brother has always been resourceful and has endless ways of torturing people. She doesn't like to use her brain and always does what her brother thinks. The effect is of course perfect.
