Soon, the imperial physician was invited, but Shao Lecheng was also taken to a side hall to see his wound.
Not long after, the eunuch came out and reported to Miao Qinghua: "Empress Dowager, that's an arrow wound."
Miao Qinghua nodded lightly. Her people were watching the movements between Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng, so they naturally knew that Jing Yuchen had shot Shao Lecheng with an arrow.
"Everyone, please attend court properly. The imperial physician has just examined you and the results show that it is just a simple whiplash injury."
She set her eyes on Jing Yuchen: "You too, he is your brother. How can you suspect the assassin and think of him as the cause?"
"It is my humble servant who has been rude."
After the court was dismissed, Miao Qinghua summoned Shao Lecheng again.
"Empress Dowager, last night, I went into the Prince Regent's Palace and took Kang'er out. I wonder when the Miao family will be able to let Kang'er go back?"
Miao Qinghua looked at Shao Lecheng with a surprised expression, "It seems that the thief in the Regent's Palace last night was you!"
"I thought that with my lightness skills, I could easily take the person away, but I overestimated my ability and underestimated the vigilance of the Regent's Palace."
"You've been badly injured for Kang'er. I have some excellent medicine for wounds. You should take it home and take good care of your wound. Don't let it cause any underlying illness."
"Also, I heard that Gou Qiong wanted to enter the palace yesterday but was stopped outside. Why don't you ask her to come to the Cining Palace after you return from court? This child is a descendant of hers, and we should reunite sooner rather than later."
After Shao Lecheng thanked him and left, the eunuch stepped forward and asked, "Queen Dowager, do you believe they have truly turned against each other?"
"If it were a brother, who would be willing to inflict such a cruel blow on someone like that?"
The father-in-law hesitated and said again: "What if this is just a self-torture trick?"
"As long as Kang'er comes back, it's fine to return Ke'er to them. Otherwise, with Gou Qiong's temper, wouldn't Ke'er's situation here be turned upside down? I had the child kidnapped back then just to see how much these two families cared about her."
"I just didn't expect...this Regent really came up with such a surprising trick!"
Duan Gouqiong was in a good mood when she heard that she could enter the palace to see Ke'er and bring Ke'er back. She reached out and patted Shao Lecheng on the shoulder, making Shao Lecheng gasp.
Duan Gouqiong said with great regret: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."
"It's okay, it'll be fine in a while."
Duan Gouqiong looked at Shao Lecheng distressedly: "I have to say, this injury is indeed serious. Will it affect your life in the future?"
Shao Lecheng didn't want to talk about this topic at all, so he just said, "Go to the palace quickly."
Duan Gouqiong arrived at the Cining Palace and was led into the bedroom by the palace servants. He bowed to Miao Qinghua, and the child in the cradle also came into Duan Gouqiong's sight.
Miao Qinghua immediately spoke up and suggested, "Ke'er and the Emperor get along very well. You can bring Ke'er to stay in the palace more often in the future!"
Duan Gouqiong held the child in her arms, feeling extremely distressed. She kissed Ke'er on the face twice before looking at Miao Qinghua.
"If it's true as you said, that this child was sacrificed by the Prince Regent, then I have to thank you, Queen Mother, for not mistreating Ke'er. She's so white and plump, she's really adorable!"
Miao Qinghua smiled gently, her expression calm and composed. "Ai Jia, I never thought of mistreating Ke'er. This child must be connected to you and your daughter, otherwise she would surely cry non-stop!"
Duan Gouqiong didn't want to stay any longer, so she said indifferently, "Queen Dowager, the prince also misses the child very much. I will not stay any longer, I will take my leave."
Miao Qinghua didn't stop him, but said helplessly: "I was thinking of letting you go back later so that you can feel the surprise. Well, if you are so anxious to go back, then go back!"
Duan Gouqiong looked at Miao Qinghua curiously, somewhat puzzled.
Miao Qinghua didn't intend to say it directly, and only said: "You will know when you go back!"
When Duan Gouqiong returned to the mansion, he just received the imperial edict that conferred the title of Prince on Shao Le...
Is this the surprise that Miao Qinghua mentioned?
"Prince, please stand up quickly." The eunuch stretched out his hand and pulled Shao Lecheng up from the ground. Shao Lecheng raised his head and saw Duan Gouqiong coming back with the child. He immediately said to the servant beside him: "Take the eunuch in for a cup of tea!"
The eunuch flicked his whisk and said apologetically, "I am still waiting to return to the palace to report! I will remember your kindness, Prince."
After the father-in-law left, Duan Gouqiong walked forward and asked, "Has Kang'er been taken away?"
Shao Lecheng nodded.
"If the child wasn't ignorant and innocent, I would have stabbed him a few times before returning him to someone else."
"You're talking nonsense!" Duan Gouqiong carried the child and entered the mansion with Shao Lecheng. Shao Lecheng was quite proud of himself.
"Now that I am a prince again, I will protect you from now on. I will never let you and your daughter suffer any grievances or be frightened again."
When the news of Shao Lecheng being named a prince spread, Ni Yueshan was holding Xue'er and approaching the chessboard with a chess piece in one hand. But when she saw she was about to lose again, she immediately said, "Forget it, forget it. It's too difficult to play chess with a child. The child will delay my work and disrupt my normal thinking!"
Jing Yuchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Really? I'll hold the child and play another round."
"No, Lecheng has been named a prince. It seems that your calculations are correct. You are so powerful, I am willing to admit defeat. That's it..."
Ni Yueshan fled away, but Jing Yuchen's expression became serious.
