"Back to Your Highness, Captain Chu cut off one of Captain Duan's hands in the palace!"
The guard did not dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly told the story, not even daring to take a breath when speaking.
If there is bloodshed in the palace, if the young prince blames it, no matter what the reason is, they are responsible.
But while the guards were waiting tremblingly for the young prince's resignation, they suddenly heard the young prince laughing loudly: "Hahaha, Chu Ran is still the same Chu Ran!"
"Well……"
The guard was startled, and raised his eyes cautiously. In his peripheral vision, the young prince's face, which should have been cold and solemn, was filled with a smile.
laugh?
For a moment, the guard was a little confused.
He worked as an official in the palace for no less than five years.
In the past five years, I have seen the young prince countless times, but every time I see the young prince, he has a cold face.
This is definitely the first time I see the young prince’s smile.
The prince of the palace was tainted by blood. Instead of being angry, the young prince was still smiling?
The guard subconsciously rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
However, even though his eyes were sore, the expression on the young prince's face was still smiling.
"Let's go, take me to see it!"
The young prince's calm voice made the guards dare not think any more and quickly stepped forward to lead the way.
Soon, the two of them walked out of the hospital.
"Your Highness is here!"
The guard quickly shouted to the crowd in front.
The guards surrounding Chu Ran and Duan Jinglei quickly turned back and made way for them, then bowed and saluted, and whispered in unison: "Greetings to the young prince!"
The young prince waved his hand slightly, and then walked straight towards where Chu Ran and Duan Jinglei were.
"Your Highness! You are finally here!"
Seeing the young prince was like seeing the savior. Duan Jinglei took his severed wrist that was bleeding and rushed directly in front of the young prince, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"He! Him!..."
Duan Jinglei pointed at Chu Ran fiercely with his other hand, looked straight at the young prince, and said loudly: "Your Highness, this son is rebellious, ignores the dignity of the palace, and sneaks up on me from behind, causing blood to splash on the palace. This is really treason.
ah!"
"My subordinates dare not tarnish the prince's palace and have never fought back against him. I hope that your highness will learn from it and severely punish the evildoers to rectify the king's authority!"
His words were said with great justice, as if he was the only one who was most loyal to the palace.
Even the guards couldn't help but feel sad.
After saying this, Duan Jinglei leaned on the ground with one hand and kowtowed deeply to the young prince.
"Chu Ran, what do you have to say?"
The young prince nodded slightly to Duan Jinglei, then raised his eyes to Chu Ran, with a faint smile on his lips: "Duan Jinglei has said so much, shouldn't you also excuse yourself?"
"Return to your highness!"
Chu Ran slightly cupped his hands and said: "Duan Jinglei is right, I just felt unhappy with him, so I sneak attacked him and chopped off one of his hands!"
"..."
As soon as Chu Ran said these unabashed words, the guards around him could not help but froze on the spot.
Even they could hear that when the young prince asked this question, it was clear that he wanted Chu Ran to say a few words to defend himself, so that the young prince would have the chance to forgive Chu Ran.
Could it be that Chu Ran couldn't hear it?
Being so blunt and speaking completely according to Duan Jinglei's meaning, isn't this pushing him into a pit of fire?
Even if the young prince wants to find a reason to forgive, he can't find one!
This is simply...
"Ahem..."
Even the young prince couldn't help but choked when he heard this, and couldn't help but cough twice.
However, the smile in his eyes became even stronger.
This was the Chu Ran he knew.
Be wild and uninhibited, do whatever you want!
Before, he didn't like it, it could even be said that he hated it!
But now, I don’t know why, but the more I watch it, the more I like it!
"Did you hear it, Your Highness? He has admitted it. The evil son should be killed or not kept. Please punish him, Your Highness!"
Duan Jinglei found an opportunity and said loudly.
"A crime? What crime?"
The young prince looked at Duan Jinglei indifferently, shook his head slightly, and said: "You two were competing with each other. Chu Ran was a little more sinister and attacked you secretly. Since it was a sneak attack, it was inevitable that there would be an accident and you would hurt your hand and bleed.
How can we talk about tarnishing the palace!"
"ah?"
As soon as the young prince said these words, Duan Jinglei felt his head buzzing.
The guards around him were also a little dumbfounded.
Isn't it too obvious that Your Highness is covering up?
Chu Ran admitted it himself, and His Highness said so, even if he is a popular person in your eyes, he shouldn't be so shielding!
You are a dignified young prince!
Feeling the gazes of the guards around him, the young prince suddenly frowned and looked around at everyone: "What? Did the young prince say something wrong?"
When everyone heard this, they all knelt on the ground in an instant. While trembling, they raised their heads and said with righteousness: "What your Highness said is correct. We have seen it with our own eyes. It is indeed a sparring match!"
"Okay, let's get down!"
The young prince waved his hand, and all the guards quickly retreated.
"Your Highness, you..."
Duan Jinglei looked at the young prince in disbelief. He never expected that His Highness, who was always fair and selfless in his eyes, would actually say such naked words of partiality!
Is this still the young prince he knows?
"Cut the nonsense!"
The young prince glared at Duan Jinglei without any hesitation. Chu Ran was standing beside him and hummed directly: "Are you an idiot? I don't know how Lan Xue died. I still don't know how Qi Zhen and Qi Yu died.
Of? And that Song Zihao, didn’t you see it or didn’t you hear about it?”
"this……"
Hearing the young prince's words, Duan Jinglei felt his head buzzing.
His face instantly turned pale.
Among the people mentioned by the young prince, weren't they all killed by Chu Ran's sword?
Who is Blue Blood?
The adopted son of Lan Tian, a first-grade military lord!
Qi Zhen, Qi Yu, and Song Zihao, any one of them definitely has a very high status in their respective families.
These people all died under Chu Ran's sword.
Which one of them has a lower status than Duan Jinglei?
Which one of them is worse than Duan Jinglei in terms of strength?
But they are all dead, but Chu Ran is still alive!
If just now, the sword that Chu Ran struck was not on his arm, but on his neck...
Perhaps, he has become a corpse now.
And Chu Ran, with the young prince's current attitude, can still be alive...
The more he thought about it, the more serious the fear in Duan Jinglei's eyes became.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, and subconsciously touched it, but before he knew it, his back was already wet with his own cold sweat.
And it's not just the back.
Almost the whole body was wet with cold sweat.
He should be lucky that he is still alive!
"The reason why you are still alive today is because Chu Ran does it for Xiao Wang's sake. I want you to remember what happened today. Xiao Wang doesn't want to see such stupid things happen to you again!
"
The young prince hummed, then waved his hand: "Go away and cultivate yourself!"
"Yes... it's Your Highness..."
Duan Jinglei didn't dare to say another word, turned around, picked up the severed hand on the ground, and ran towards the outside of the palace in a rolling and crawling manner.
If we go back now, maybe the broken hand can still be cured!
"Chu Ran!"
After Duan Jinglei left, the young prince slowly looked at Chu Ran.
Chu Ran walked slowly to the side of the young prince. Looking at the young prince on the side, Chu Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Highness should not protect me like this in front of so many people..."
"Why not?"
The young prince smiled and said: "Chu Ran, are you sometimes afraid?"
"I'm afraid, but that's not the case!"
Chu Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's just that His Highness did this. Doesn't this push his subordinates onto the fire?"
This incident was witnessed by so many guards.
I'm afraid it won't take half a day before word spreads.
By then, I am afraid that the entire Northern Xinjiang Royal City will know how much the young prince prefers him, Chu Ran!
In this world, there are always some people who don’t look down on others!
There is a saying that goes well, jealousy makes people ugly!
There will definitely be more and more people stumbling upon him secretly.
