Chapter 16 But dead?
There was great anxiety in the field over there, but in the back pavilion here, there was deep affection.
Hearing that the prince had not come with her, Song Yunhe was heartbroken, "The prince is so cold and heartless that he doesn't even show any respect to a beauty like you..."
Seeing the deep affection and guilt in Song Yunhe's eyes, Xi Qingtong's anger that day finally dissipated slowly. A hint of pride rose in her heart, and she deliberately said, "If I had married..."
Xi Qingtong stopped talking halfway, looked at the person opposite with tears in her eyes, and her unfinished words revealed too much regret.
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, the man opposite her eyes sparked with more fire. He couldn't help but grab her hand, muttering, "Tong'er..."
Xi Qingtong also cooperated and held his hand back. At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
Xi Qingtong's anger, which had just been calmed down by Song Yunhe, surged up again, and within a few breaths, the tightly closed door was pushed open from the outside with a "bang"!
"Liang Di, something bad has happened! Liang Di, something bad has happened!"
Jinzhu rushed into the cabinet in panic and knelt on the ground. Even when she saw her master's hand being held by a foreign man, it could not compare to her anxiety and fear at the moment.
"What's the big deal?"
"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fallen off his horse!"
Jin Zhu cried out, and Xi Qingtong, who had originally been indifferent, suddenly changed his expression and exclaimed, "What?"
There was a buzzing in her ears and her fingertips suddenly tightened. Song Yunhe groaned in pain, but she didn't feel it at all. She just stood up suddenly, and the tassels in her temples fluttered, just like her extremely panicked heart.
"Where is he? Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? What's the situation? But...but..." Dead?
Jinzhu said with a trembling voice, "It's outside at the horse ranch. The situation... I don't know either."
"waste!"
Xi Qingtong was furious. He pushed Jinzhu away and strode out.
In a few breaths, Song Yunhe was the only one left in the palace.
Looking at Xi Qingtong's back, Song Yunhe was a little stunned. He slowly raised his hand. There was a row of finger marks on the back of his hand, and there was still a little stinging.
Maybe I was too anxious?

When Xi Qingtong arrived at the bottom, she happened to see the imperial physician rushing past her. She suddenly felt relieved, thinking that she was not too late.
However, when she followed the imperial physician to the center of the scene, she immediately saw a face in the crowd that looked exactly like her own.
Xi Qingtong's pace slowed down instantly. How could she be here?
Doctor Zhang arrived at Xiao Ji's side before her, and before he could say a word, he was scolded by Zhao Tong.
"You two are such idiots! How dare you abandon your post? If His Highness makes any mistake, I will chop off your heads!"
Doctor Zhang knew he was seriously wrong and didn't dare to retort. He only pleaded, "I know I'm guilty, but my priority now is to save His Highness. Please, sir, let me do what I want first..."
But when he lowered his eyes and glanced, he saw that the prince's legs had been simply treated, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Who did this?!"
The matter was of the utmost importance, so Qing Wu no longer concealed his incompetence. He turned around and spoke frankly, "It's me. I've studied medicine for ten years, and I've just done a quick check on Your Highness... In my opinion, the most serious injury on Your Highness's body is this broken leg. I hope you will focus on examining and treating it."
She stood in the middle of the room with her hands folded on her abdomen. Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and her narration was clear and logical, which made everyone around her even more surprised. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lying on the ground was no exception. Looking at the girl who was talking so eloquently, his eyes unconsciously showed a lot of approval.
Doctor Zhang, who had just arrived, did not refute her because of her extraordinary demeanor. After she finished speaking, the doctor's expression changed from shock and doubt to gradually calmness. He took the prince's pulse, carefully checked the leg bandage, and examined the prince's body before feeling relieved.
"It is just as this lady said. The main injury is in the leg. Madam, you have handled it well. If we carry him back and treat him well, he should be able to recover as before."
Hearing this, everyone around heaved a sigh of relief, and when they looked at Qingwu, their eyes were filled with praise and gratitude.
At this moment, another beautiful figure suddenly squeezed into the crowd and pounced on Xiao Ji's side. Two identical faces appeared in front of everyone at the same time.
Qing Wu had just introduced herself, and everyone present knew that she was the twin sister of the concubine, but when the two sisters appeared in front of everyone at the same time, they still exclaimed in surprise that the twin sisters were indeed exactly the same.
"Your Highness... Your Highness..."
Xi Qingtong, regardless of being dressed in gorgeous clothes, knelt directly on the grass. Before she could say a word, tears began to fall like pearls from a broken string.
The woman was crying with tears in her eyes, her voice was weak. Looking at the outstanding face in front of her, which was exactly the same as hers, Xiao Ji felt a strange feeling in her heart. When she didn't know how to respond, King Wu, King Wen and a group of eunuchs came carrying a sedan chair.
Xiao Ji immediately said to Zhao Tongdao: "Hurry up and carry me up, I want to go back to Beijing!"
Xi Qingtong was startled by being ignored, but quickly recovered and commanded with the attitude of a hostess, "Hurry up and lift His Highness onto the sedan chair."
But after hearing the second half of the sentence, Xi Qingtong became a little confused and asked, "Should I stay in Shanglinyuan for treatment?"
King Wu and King Wen also echoed, "The Crown Prince's Sixth Brother should not be moved. We will return to the capital to summon the imperial physician to Shanglin Garden to treat the Sixth Brother..."
Zhao Tong, who had originally wanted to persuade his master, suddenly changed his mind after hearing this. He suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long, so he quickly called for the guards to lift His Highness onto the sedan chair. He then turned his head and glanced at King Wu and King Wen and said,
"The two imperial physicians have deserted their posts. I suspect they are being manipulated. We absolutely cannot trust them anymore. If we keep sending the imperial physicians back and forth, the extent of His Highness's injury will be distorted. We must return to the capital immediately!"
After saying this, without caring about other people's reactions, he called on his personal guards to carry the sedan chair and walk out.
Upon seeing this, several princes looked at each other, discussed for a few words, and left one after another. King Wu and King Wen naturally stayed to continue hosting the banquet, while King Ning and King Ying followed the prince back to the capital.
Before leaving, Zhao Tong walked a few steps to Qingwu and bowed in front of everyone.
"I also want to thank you for your help, my lady. You are a kind-hearted doctor."
He saw everything Qingwu did. He was able to save His Highness without caring about the difference between men and women and the risk of being punished. This was something that ordinary people could not do, and he really admired him.
Although Doctor Zhang came, Zhao Tong did not trust him, so Zhao Tong attributed all the favor to Qingwu.
He was the top eunuch in the Eastern Palace and a well-known confidant of the Crown Prince. After Zhao Tong's move, everyone looked up to Qing Wu even more.
Seeing that all the admiring eyes were on Qingwu, Xi Qingtong, who had been neglected until now, pinched her fingers into her palms under her sleeves. In the past, these eyes would only be on her, and now they should be on her.
Qing Wu didn't dare to accept the courtesy from the East Palace's regular attendant, so he quickly moved aside and said, "I'm not worthy of your courtesy, eunuch. I just bandaged His Highness a little..."
Before she finished speaking, a grateful voice interrupted, "It turned out that you saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, sister. Thank you so much, sister!"
Xi Qingtong walked up quickly with tears in her eyes and held Qingwu's hand. The two sisters stood together, and half of the attention in the audience was immediately divided by her.
