Hearing the report from the soldiers, Chu Han stopped in his tracks. When he turned around, his eyes were cold and he asked, "Who is it?"
"Shangguanyao of Shangshu Mansion." The soldiers reported truthfully.
Chu Han's eyes darkened, and the light in his black eyes turned complicated, and he could not see any thoughts, "This matter ends here, there is no need to investigate further."
"yes."
Purple Smoke Pavilion.
Zi Ling trotted into the courtyard and hurriedly followed Guan Yue to report: "Concubine, the princess has returned to her home."
Before she finished speaking, she couldn't stop breathing. She was so anxious that she didn't dare to stop and kept running back.
Shangguan Yue paused and immediately looked at Zi Ling nervously, "Have you seen her with your own eyes? What does she look like now? How did she come back?"
Are you finally back?
"Yes...she was brought back by the prince in a carriage, and it was the prince who carried the princess into the palace." Zi Ling took a few breaths quickly before saying the second half of the sentence.
Shangguan Yue suddenly looked shocked, and the panic in his eyes could not be concealed, "What did you say? Did the prince bring her back?"
The panic in her eyes quickly amplified, and she asked unwillingly: "But you saw it with your own eyes?"
Zi Ling kept shaking her head and took another breath before saying: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, many people in the house saw it, so it can't be wrong."
Shangguan Yue collapsed and sat down at the table with a pop, her hands groping randomly on the table.
She suddenly felt that her throat was extremely dry, as if it was on fire, and she needed to drink water immediately.
In panic, she knocked over all the teacups and barely picked up one cup, her hands shaking terribly.
She threw the cup to the ground angrily, picked up the teapot and drank directly.
It wasn't until the water in the pot bottomed that she felt that her throat seemed to be better and not so dry.
Zi Ling was shocked, why did the concubine look so panicked? Although she didn't want to see the princess come back, she shouldn't be panicked when she knew she was coming back, right?
"Ziling, let's go to Fuyunxuan." After Shangguan Yue finished speaking, he stood up and started to walk out.
"Concubine, your clothes are wet..." When Zi Ling spoke, Shangguan Yue had already arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, and headed towards Fuyunxuan without stopping.
She could only quickly grab the handkerchief and follow him quickly.
…
Fuyunxuan.
Zi Qing, who had returned from the General's Mansion a long time ago, looked at the princess who was still unconscious on the bed, her eyes red with tears.
While holding back her sobs, she carefully wiped the stains around Xie Yao's wound, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
When she saw the princess for the first time, she was shocked!
It is unimaginable that the princess has so many injuries on her body. Her arms and legs are almost covered with scars, one by one, all scratched out by branches!
What on earth has the princess experienced?
Chu Han was right next to him, his black eyes were so deep that no one could discover what kind of emotions they contained, and his whole body was frighteningly cold.
"Your Majesty, your pulse is stable. She only fainted due to hunger and fatigue. Your Majesty, don't worry." An old doctor checked Xie Yao's pulse and bowed to Chu Han.
Chu Han nodded imperceptibly, with a cold dignity in his voice, "This matter must not be spread to outsiders. If the king discovers it, he will be severely punished."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the common people are just diagnosing Your Majesty's pulse on a routine basis and have not come to Fuyunxuan." The eldest lady is mature and understands the truth.
At this time, Shangguan Yue arrived.
As soon as she entered the room, she paused because she saw Xie Yao lying on the bed, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
When Chu Han saw Shangguan Yue come in, his expression darkened and he glanced with complicated eyes.
"Doctor, how is the princess' condition?" Shangguan Yue looked at the doctor standing aside with a concerned expression.
Xie Yao had many wounds on her body, which were very dense, and her clothes were in tatters. Could it be that she had been defiled by those people? A flash of joy flashed through her heart.
"To my concubine, the princess is just extremely tired and fainted from hunger. Her health is not serious." The doctor repeated the previous diagnosis.
Shangguan Yue rolled her eyes and didn't believe it at all, and then asked: "The doctor may not know something. The princess was kidnapped by bandits. It took almost a whole day for the princess to return to the palace."
"There are so many scars on the body this time. Please check it carefully with the doctor. If the princess is really injured, she should be treated as soon as possible!"
The doctor's movements seemed to be stiff for a moment, then he lowered his head and said: "The common people have carefully checked, and the princess is indeed fine. However, the common people's abilities are limited. If the concubine is still worried, just ask a few more doctors to come and check."
"Of course I trust the doctor, but I'm just worried that the princess has just married and hasn't had any children yet, so she should be more careful." Shangguan Yue responded casually, feeling very disappointed.
Really not tainted?!
They are already injured like this, but nothing is wrong! Damn it!
Chu Han's eyes still fell on Shangguan Yue, and the complex look in his eyes was deeper and heavier than before.
Shangguan Yue didn't notice Chu Han's expression because her thoughts were all on the unconscious Xie Yao at the moment.
"You're talking nonsense!" Ziqing heard this, stared at Shangguan Yue with red eyes, and gritted her teeth and said, "The princess is a lucky person, so she will naturally turn misfortunes into good fortune, and turn disasters into good fortune!"
"Why are you suspicious of the princess for no reason? Isn't it what you want to see if the princess is fine? You clearly don't want the princess to return safely, you clearly want something to happen to the princess! You just don't want to see the princess well!"
This Shangguan's side concubine was going to piss her off to death!
Duplicitous bitch!
"Don't be slanderous!" Shangguan Yue immediately defended, staring at Zi Qing with extremely cold eyes. How dare a little maid dare to treat her so arrogantly!
"The princess and I are sisters. The princess was kidnapped this time. I couldn't sleep or eat well in the house. I wanted to suffer for the princess. How could it be so unbearable as you said?"
Shangguan Yue continued to pretend.
"I know you are worried about the princess, so you are disrespectful to me. I don't blame you." She looked very magnanimous.
Just as he was about to turn his head to look at Chu Han, Chu Han's deep voice sounded, "Yue'er, get out!"
