Chapter 121 Princess Yan
Anshun County Posthouse.
The lights were bright and guards were patrolling back and forth in an endless stream.
Prince Yan sat on the armchair with a broadsword and a golden horse, staring at the guard commander Leng Que who was kneeling on the ground with a sharp gaze.
"Tell me, what did you find out?"
The Prince of Yan disappeared from the heavily guarded post station and inexplicably appeared in the Xu family's carriage. If this matter is not investigated thoroughly, how can he, the Prince of Yan, maintain his dignity?
The dignified King of Yan, the iron-blooded prince who was feared in the northern border, actually lost his own precious son while he was in charge personally. Is this acceptable?
"My Lord, it's Mother Chu who is beside the princess!"
Leng Que looked up and gave the answer carefully.
"I checked all the doors. Before the prince disappeared, only Mother Chu went out. She brought a food box and said she was going to buy some food for the princess."
The corners of King Yan's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "It's her!"
"It's a shame that this prince treats her so well, but she didn't expect that after being married to this prince for so many years, her heart still can't be warmed!"
"Good, very good!"
Prince Yan waved his hand fiercely and said in a cold voice, "Pass on my order. The princess is extremely frightened and exhausted because of the Crown Prince's accident. She needs to rest and recuperate. From now on, no outside visitors will be allowed!"
"And Mother Chu failed to take good care of the princess. She should be beaten to death!"
"Prince? From now on, follow me!"
"Understood!"
Leng Que immediately stood up and strode out.
Before long, everyone in the inn knew that Princess Yan was ill and needed rest.
…
In a quiet courtyard of the posthouse, Princess Yan received the oral instructions from Leng Que. She just smiled faintly and said nothing.
However, when Mrs. Chu heard about the treatment she had received, she immediately panicked.
"Princess, save me!"
"princess!"
"I have been following your instructions..."
Bang!
Before Mother Chu could finish her words, Leng Que had already taken decisive action and dislocated Mother Chu's jaw, preventing her from uttering a complete sentence.
"Princess, I'm leaving!"
Leng Que waved his hand, and the guards quickly dragged Mother Chu away.
Then, the execution!
Mother Chu, who had been working for Princess Yan for many years and had always been favored, soon disappeared.
"For a lowly creature like that, you don't appreciate the love we've had as husband and wife for all these years?"
"Li Zhen, I hate you——"
After everyone left, Princess Yan, who had been trying to remain calm, finally exploded.
She swept the things on the dressing table to the floor.
As a result, a golden hairpin magically flew out of the dressing box, fell straight down, pierced through the embroidered shoes of Princess Yan, and pierced into the instep of her left foot.
"ah--"
With a shrill scream, Princess Yan fell to the ground.
However, something even more unfortunate happened.
The back of Princess Yan's head hit the chair behind her and she fainted on the spot.
The little girl guarding outside the door rushed in when she heard the noise and was almost scared to death.
Not long ago, Mother Chu was beaten to death for failing to take good care of the princess.
And in this situation now, considering the princess's condition, can she still survive?
The news soon reached the ears of King Yan.
The Prince of Yan carefully inquired about the situation. After hearing what the Princess of Yan said, the Prince of Yan smiled faintly and said, "Let the imperial physician treat the Princess!"
"As for the little maids serving the princess, tell them that the princess slipped and fell on her own, and it has nothing to do with them!"
"However, they are young and inexperienced and cannot take good care of the princess."
"From now on, let the maids around the princess take care of her!"
