Shen Qing's injury looked scary, but in fact it did not damage his vitals, so he just needed to be bandaged.
"You are Princess Huayue, right?" the old doctor asked with a smile.
"Yes, you know me?"
"I know Lord Jiang. He rarely brings people to my place."
"Your medical skills are not good?"
“…” The old man pursed his lips, curled his beard, and fell silent.
No emotional intelligence at all!
"Sorry, my mind is a little confused now." Shen Qing realized that the words he blurted out were not so pleasant.
"Humph, as an old man, I'm used to it."
It seems that Jiang Zhuo is also quite mean, so she feels relieved.
"But, you didn't see how anxious he was just now..."
"I saw it."
"..." The old man's mouth twitched, "You may not have noticed, he is very special to you."
"I know."
The old man said nothing more, turned around and left with the medicine box.
Take good care of yourself!
Shen Qing blinked, took a deep breath and prepared to close his eyes to rest.
"I still have to say one more thing. You and Jiang Zhuo are very similar!" The old man opened the door and added, "Take good care of your injuries!"
Shen Qing chuckled.
Shen Jianshan angrily brought two teams of people towards the courtyard.
The old man looked at the two teams in shock. He just threw a tantrum, so why did someone come to search his house?
"Where's Qingqing? How's Qingqing?"
"This lord..."
"This is Commander Huayue's father, General Shen," Jiang Zhuo explained. "How is the Commander?"
"The wound has been treated and there is no damage to the vital organs."
Shen Jianshan quickly walked past the two of them and walked quickly inside.
When he saw Shen Qing lying on the bed with a pale face, his nose felt sore.
When he thought of his beloved daughter, who had come to the capital with such joy, thinking she would start a wonderful new life, but who had only lived a few days of good times, and now was stabbed by the prince in the street, Shen Jianshan felt a pang of heartache.
"Qingqing, how are you?" Shen Jianshan sat beside the bed and spoke softly.
Shen Qing raised the corner of his mouth, signaling Shen Jianshan to rest assured, "Father, I'm fine, it just hurts a little."
"Murong Zhi is going too far!"
Shen Qing had never shown such a vulnerable side to him as his father.
"Father, don't be angry. I shouldn't have gone against the Crown Prince and my sister from the beginning. I caused you so much trouble."
"What did you do wrong? I've long disliked Murong Zhi. He's the crown prince of a country, yet he's secretly having sex with a woman. Now, because of his love for his children, he's committing a crime in the street. His pettiness is outrageous." Shen Jianshan finished speaking, raised his hand and covered Shen Qing with a blanket, "Rest first, Dad will send someone to take you home to recuperate later."
Shen Qing nodded.
Shen Jianshan stood up and walked out, taking a deep breath with a serious expression.
"General, what are your plans now?" Jiang Zhuo stood beside Shen Jianshan.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, his brows furrowed, his eyes burning with anger. "Even if I have to take off this official uniform, even if it costs the General's Mansion a hundred years of glory, I will make Murong Zhi pay for what he did!"
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his arms trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the rage surging in his heart.
"I will never let him go! How dare he act so recklessly and hurt Qingqing. I can't swallow this insult no matter what." Shen Jianshan added gritting his teeth, his tone full of firmness and determination.
"Tomorrow morning, I will work with the general to seek justice for the princess."
Shen Jianshan glanced at Jiang Zhuo and, for once, he seemed to like him a little better.
On the second day, Shen Jianshan unexpectedly met Murong Zhi at the palace gate.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shen Jianshan said with a cold face.
Really, when I see him, I want to crush him into pieces, throw him on the ground, and stomp on him hard!
"The general doesn't look well." Murong Zhi looked at Shen Jianshan meaningfully, "Do you miss Shen Zhaoxun?"
"Your Highness, you are overthinking it. I just didn't sleep well."
Shen Jianshan understood that Murong Zhi was using Shen Jing to threaten him!
"Is that so? Shen Zhaoxun misses the general very much, but she has been busy with the affairs of the Eastern Palace recently and has no time to go back to visit the general. She specially asked the general to take good care of the orphan."
"Well, thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness, please..."
Murong Zhi didn't know whether Shen Jianshan understood or not. He had hinted so clearly that even if Shen Jianshan was a bit rough, he should have understood.
"If you have something to report, please come forward. If not, please dismiss the court." The eunuch shouted.
Shen Jianshan took a step forward and said, "I have something to report!"
Murong Zhi frowned slightly. Did he really not care about Shen Jing at all?
"What's the matter, Mr. Shen?"
"Yesterday, on Xichang Street in the city, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, out of personal vendetta, stabbed my daughter, Shen Qing, in the street. Despite all efforts to treat her, she remains frail. Your Majesty, I have been loyal and dedicated to the court my entire life, never harboring even the slightest inappropriate ambition. Now that my daughter has suffered this calamity, I beg Your Majesty to intervene!"
Shen Jianshan was in tears, expressing a father's love for his daughter vividly, which made many officials with daughters at home feel sad.
"Your Majesty, I witnessed it with my own eyes yesterday in the West Market. Princess Huayue desperately begged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare her life. If I hadn't passed by, the princess would probably be..."
Jiang Zhuo's hesitation in speaking left everyone with endless room for imagination.
Murong Zhi was shocked by what the two said. He knew very well that Shen Qing was not seriously injured, at least not as seriously as they said.
"Prince, is this true?"
The emperor looked at Murong Zhi with an oppressive gaze.
"Your Majesty, I have my reasons..."
"How did we provoke His Highness to do such a cruel thing to a weak woman in the street?" Shen Jianshan shouted angrily, "Your Highness has disregarded the laws of the kingdom this time?!"
"Okay, my dear Shen, don't worry. I will give you justice." The emperor could see that Shen Jianshan was really angry, so he spoke to comfort him.
"Father, not to mention that Ms. Chen has repeatedly injured my guards, she also possesses sorcery. If this person is not eliminated, it may lead to disaster!"
"Witchcraft?" The emperor narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
"This sorcery can disturb a person's mind and make them under her control. That day on the long street, it was her who bewitched me."
"Your Highness, she tricked you into killing her. Isn't that ridiculous?" Jiang Zhuo taunted. "If Your Highness truly can't explain himself, there's no need to come up with such a lame excuse."
"Every word I said is true."
In fact, even the emperor didn't believe what Murong Zhi said.
"It was she who severed Rong Qing's tendons at the winter hunting grounds. On the day of the farewell banquet for the Jinyang Kingdom envoys, she also tied Rong Qing up and cut his flesh with a knife, no less than hundreds of times."
"Your Highness, as far as I know, Princess Huayue never attended the banquet that day!" an official asked doubtfully.
"It is precisely because he didn't show up at the banquet that he is more suspicious."
