After Xie Yao finished treating the wound, she felt her head was a little heavy and fell asleep.
This was Prince Chen's Mansion, so she could at least have a peaceful sleep. She didn't have to be like in Prince Mu's Mansion, where even if she fell asleep, she would be ready to wake up at any time.
I don’t know how long I had been sleeping when someone knocked on the door outside.
Xie Yao opened her eyes instantly, and the sleepiness in her eyes quickly faded.
"Who is outside?" she asked.
"Young lady is awake. The soup to replenish your body has been prepared. Please bring it in for you." The maid outside the door spoke respectfully.
"Put it on the table by the door." Xie Yao said calmly.
"Yes." The maid responded, then opened the door and came in, put down the soup and went out immediately.
Xie Yao straightened her clothes, then walked over to take a look and sat at the table.
The soup happened to be suitable for her excessive blood loss, so she could recover faster if she took some.
While she was eating, she suddenly remembered what Chu Ye said that Emperor Zhao Chu would summon the princes and officials to go hunting tomorrow.
As far as I can remember, this kind of hunting happened at least once a year, and occasionally even twice a year.
Every time there is a hunt, the princes will compete for the first place.
The prize is only one hundred taels of gold, and what the princes care more about is showing their faces in front of Emperor Zhaochu!
After all, the crown prince's position has not yet been decided, and all princes' minds are very active, such as Chu Mu!
Tomorrow, when Chu Ye sends a message to Chu Han, Chu Han should believe Chu Ye's words, right?
Although her relationship with Chu Han was extremely unharmonious when she first entered Prince Han's Mansion, recently, she and Chu Han have become allies fighting side by side, and they still have the most basic trust.
And after spending a few days with the fake Xie Yao, Chu Han might find some clues.
…
Prince Han's Mansion.
Chu Han sat in the study, motionless.
"Your Majesty, it's almost noon, you should go and have a rest! You haven't slept all night, and you have been sitting here for half a day." Wu Feng advised helplessly.
"Is there any new news?" Chu Han's eyes were slightly closed and his voice was cold.
Wu Feng shook his head, "I've searched for the third time."
"This time is over, let them all come back. Although there are not many people on that street, even if there are traces, they have been completely destroyed at this time, and there is no value in searching." Chu Han ordered.
"Yes." Wu Feng bowed, "Just now, the people who went to the General's Mansion to inquire have returned, but the princess has not returned to the General's Mansion. On the contrary, Fu Yunxuan was invited over, and it seemed that she wanted to treat the old general, but she didn't stay long.
Just came out."
Chu Han opened his eyes a little and paused, "What was the reaction of the General's Mansion?"
"Li Qiye sent it personally. It seems that he has no doubts about it." Wu Feng replied.
"I know." Chu Han nodded slightly.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Hong Ye strode in, "When will we have dinner? My prince is hungry!"
Seeing Chu Han's serious face and feeling that the atmosphere in the study was a bit depressing, Hong Ye immediately changed his unruly expression and looked at Chu Han with a serious expression, "You haven't slept?"
"Sleeping." Chu Han frowned slightly.
"..." Wu Feng stopped talking and glanced at Hong Ye.
Hong Ye suddenly understood and continued towards Chu Han: "You go and rest, I will keep an eye on you here! If there is something important, I will naturally call you."
Chu Han sat still and gave Hong Ye a cold look.
"It's useless even if you glare at me today! You must go and rest! You are holding on like this, consuming your mental energy. If you need to show off your power later, but your horse stumbles due to mental damage, wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain?
Already?" Hong Ye resisted Chu Han's pressure and urged him again.
When Chu Han heard this, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I am not as stupid as you think! Although I am sitting here, I will take a nap when there is no news."
"However, since you took the initiative to invite me, I will go and rest for a while."
After saying that, he got up and walked out.
Hong Ye paused and immediately turned around to say something to Chu Han, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
"Wufeng, just tell me if you have any news soon." He turned around and sat directly on the chair.
"Yes, Prince Hong." Wu Feng responded.
…
Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, the princess is awake! The princess is awake!" The servant ran into the room and reported.
King Jing Chu Jing couldn't sleep at all in the second half of the night because Chu Han personally sent Qi Yuling back.
Now I'm lying on the bed, I just felt a little sleepy, but I was driven away again.
"I understand." He immediately got out of bed, walked out of the room, and went to see Qi Yuling.
inside the room.
"Come here, I have a severe headache, go get the doctor!" As soon as Qi Yuling woke up, she felt pain all over her body and was very uncomfortable.
The servant just took the order and turned around. When he saw the prince pushing open the door and walking in, he immediately saluted, "I've met the prince."
"No need to ask the doctor!" Chu Jing ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." The servant saw that the prince's expression was not right, so he responded and left.
"Your Majesty, my carriage was knocked over and I was injured on the head." Qi Yuling heard Chu Jing's instructions and frowned with dissatisfaction.
"If you hadn't run out in the middle of the night, would you have been knocked over by someone?" Chu Jing asked sternly. He walked up to Qi Yuling in a few steps and slapped him across the face.
Qi Yuling already had a headache and dizziness from the fall. After being slapped, she lay down on the bed, spinning.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
After a while, she forced herself to sit up again. In her heart, she hated Prince Jing for his cruelty, but she said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I was also worried that Prince Mu could not deal with Xie Yao alone, so I left the house late at night..."
"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chu Jing shouted coldly, interrupting Qi Yuling's words, "Princess Han is staying at Prince Han's Mansion right now and has not gone anywhere. What on earth are you talking about?!"
This stupid woman is so stupid!
Qi Yuling reacted immediately and quickly changed his words, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I'm talking about a concubine that King Mu has recently accepted. I don't know, Your Majesty, that concubine is full of scheming and various methods, making it difficult for people to guard against it!"
"I was worried that King Mu would be deceived and that the cunning concubine would take advantage of him, so I left the mansion late at night and wanted to rush over to give King Mu a warning! As a result, I actually ran into the man just now at the back door of Prince Mu's mansion.
The concubine who escaped."
When Chu Jing heard this, he slapped him again, "Nonsense! I know all this! The people who come out with you are my guards. Do you think they will keep secrets for you?"
Qi Yuling's expression also changed and he immediately stopped.
She originally planned to add insult to injury to cover up her fault, but she forgot that the guards were also present at the time.
Chu Jing frowned and looked sternly, "Tell me, where is she? What happened when your carriage left from the back door of Prince Mu's Mansion until it overturned? Tell me clearly word for word.
