A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly understood.
...
The third prince lay sprawled on the cramped bed, a large, shocking bruise on his shoulder. A young eunuch was carefully applying medicine to his wound, while the burning pain in his back constantly reminded him of his condition.
He actually got hurt by that damned woman, Shen Tangning!
He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. Being made so miserable by a woman was nothing short of a disgrace to him!
"Ouch, be gentle! Don't you want your head?"
The eunuch applying the medicine trembled and quickly begged for mercy: "Your Excellency, spare my life!"
He was dressed as a eunuch, but living alone in a tent would be too conspicuous, so he had to share a tent with another eunuch. Of course, after being specially invited, the other eunuch knew that he had an extraordinary background, even though he didn't know his true identity, so he didn't dare to be negligent.
Nevertheless, he still felt extremely aggrieved, as someone of his status had to squeeze in with a eunuch.
A voice suddenly came from outside: "Is this Eunuch Han's residence?"
Upon hearing this voice, Yan Xingzhou's eyes narrowed sharply:
That's Chi Yan's voice!
The person outside spoke slowly and politely: "I heard that Eunuch Han was injured because of my wife, and I felt bad about it, so I brought my wife to visit you. I wonder if Eunuch Han is available at this time?"
Yan Xingzhou's expression changed, and he cursed inwardly. It was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road; they really knew how to cause him trouble!
He lowered his voice and urged, "Hiss... help me up quickly!"
Shen Tangning and Chi Yan stood at the door waiting, with Yan Huai standing beside them, whom she had specially invited.
A young eunuch lifted the curtain and came out, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Your Highness?"
Yan Xingzhou, who was inside, was startled when he heard the sound.
What is Yan Huai doing here?!
Yan Huai's hands were still wrapped in gauze, and his face was slightly pale, but his tone was very gentle: "I heard that an old man saved my cousin and was injured in the process, so I came here to see him."
The young eunuch opened his mouth, looking troubled. Yan Huai's eyes flickered: "Is it inconvenient right now?"
The young eunuch could only bite the bullet and awkwardly reply, "It's convenient, it's convenient."
Yan Huai entered the tent first, followed closely by Shen Tangning and Chi Yan.
Yan Xingzhou stood stiffly, then knelt down in pain to pay his respects: "This servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince and Commander Chi."
He deliberately strained his voice, which had an odd, shrill quality, but was still somewhat decent.
Before his knees even touched the ground, Yan Huai lifted his arm, saying, "No need for formalities."
He smiled gently, appearing completely unpretentious: "I heard you were injured and refused to let the doctor examine your wounds, so my cousin specially asked me to find a royal physician."
Yan Xingzhou's face stiffened, and his gaze subconsciously glanced at Shen Tangning. She smiled gently, her eyes filled with concern: "This is no small matter. Father-in-law, please don't suffer any internal injuries, otherwise I will feel terrible."
His fingers suddenly clenched, and he almost lost his composure on the spot.
Seeing him stunned, the smile in her eyes deepened.
He still had the arrow wound left by Yan Huai on his chest; how could he dare to take off his clothes in public for others to see?
