Mu Yunqi turned around when he heard her voice. He did not see anything before he was pushed away. He raised his head in shock. A palace maid had stabbed a knife into Xu Ling 'er's abdomen.
"Ling 'er!" Mu Yunqi's heart instantly tightened. He hurriedly went forward and subdued the palace maid.
The surrounding people quickly heard the commotion and rushed over.
Mu Yunlan saw this scene from afar and hurriedly went forward to pick up Xu Ling 'er who had fallen to the ground.
"Ling Er? Ling 'er!"
Xu Ling 'er's brows were tightly furrowed as she clutched her wound. She smiled weakly." Is His Highness the Crown Prince alright?"”
Mu Yunlan was startled, and her expression turned ugly. However, it was only for a moment before it was quickly replaced by nervousness.
"He's fine. I'll take you to see the doctor. You have to hold on, understand? Nothing must happen to him."
Mu Yunlan said as she picked her up and strode away.
Mu Yunqi was stunned. The scene just now flashed through his mind. In such a dangerous situation, Xu Ling 'er actually pushed him away in an instant.
Moreover, she had already suffered such a serious injury, but she still only thought about him.
Mu Yunqi felt a warm current in his heart. A woman in battle robes suddenly appeared in front of him.
That woman had once loved him deeply and had risked her life for him. She had fought for him on the battlefield to regain the world.
If she hadn't been so tough back then, he would have kept her by his side.
However, the past could not be replayed, and that woman had indeed disappeared from this world.
He let out a long sigh and looked at the palace maid who had been subdued. He said coldly," Bring her back to the Eastern Palace. I want to interrogate her personally."”
The thick smell of blood filled the entire room.
Mu Yunlan blamed herself as she stood outside the door. If she had known that things would turn out like this, she would never have brought her into the palace.
He had never thought that Xu Zhen's methods would be so straightforward.
It should be because of the power of his family, that's why it's like this.
After an unknown period of time, the imperial physician came out of the room. Mu Yunlan stood up hurriedly." How is it? Is she alright?"
The imperial physician sighed," Whether or not I can wake up depends on tonight."”
Mu Yunlan's heart tightened. It was as if she had been punched into an ice hole by those words, and her entire body turned cold.
When Imperial Consort Xinruo heard the news and rushed over, she happened to see him standing there alone, motionless like a statue.
She walked forward slowly and patted his shoulder gently." Is she alright?”
"Imperial Mother…"
Xin Ruo sighed and dismissed the people around him before saying,"The Crown Prince has already brought that palace maid back. Don't worry, this matter will be investigated very soon.”
Mu Yunlan's eyes moved slightly." Even if we don't investigate, we know who did it. Imperial Mother, I should have protected her well back then. We shouldn't have sent her back here."
"Silly child, this is her own choice. It's not up to you." As Xinruo spoke, his gaze fell on the room. The flickering candlelight was very weak, just like Xu Ling 'er's life at this moment.
"You can stay here and take care of her tonight. If she doesn't see you when she wakes up tomorrow, she probably won't be at ease.”
Mu Yunlan nodded and slowly walked into the room.
The smell of blood in the room still hadn't dissipated. The woman on the bed was pale and lifeless.
Was it really worth it to do this for revenge?
The morning sun shone into every corner of the palace. After the matter from last night was dealt with quickly, the Left Prime Minister's family sent someone to take care of Xu Ling 'er for the night.
However, the Eastern Palace had yet to hear anything.
The pain tugged at her nerves, causing Xu Ling 'er to frown and slowly wake up.
The sunlight outside was very good. It shone into the room and enveloped the body of a person lying by the bed.
Xu Ling 'er's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to reach out to touch Mu Yunlan, but as soon as she moved, she pulled on the wound on her body. He could only give up.
As if telepathically, Mu Yunlan woke up. When she saw that she was awake, she hurriedly went over.
"You're awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? I'll call the Imperial Physician for you."
"No need, I'm fine. It's just that I'm still a little weak." Xu Ling 'er looked at Mu Yunlan's bloodshot eyes and said,""You've been watching over me all night. You should go to sleep.”
"I'm fine." Mu Yunlan said as she tucked her in." Sleep a little longer. I'll get them to prepare some breakfast for you."”
"Thank you."
Mu Yunlan's hands paused, and her face showed some anger." What did I tell you?" I told you to protect yourself well. Why did you end up like this? Could it be…"
Do you still have that person in your heart?
He has hurt you so many times, but you still only have him in your heart.
Xu Ling 'er lowered her eyes. Even though he had swallowed the second half of his sentence, she still knew what he wanted to say. A hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes." I was just putting on an act. After what happened last night, the gap between Xu Zhen and Mu Yunqi will increase. By then, it will be much easier to disintegrate them.”
Mu Yunlan was stunned, and she felt a little excited. However, he quickly suppressed his emotions.
"Don't you know that you have to protect your own life? How can I be at ease with your current state!”
Xu Ling 'er was slightly surprised, but she still bit her lip and apologized,""I'm sorry to have troubled you. From the moment you saved me, I've been giving you trouble.”
Mu Yunlan turned away.
She had been giving her trouble from the beginning.
If it wasn't for her, Mu Yunqi wouldn't have become the Crown Prince.
"If there is any news from the Eastern Palace, you must let me know immediately.”
Mu Yunlan glanced at her and was about to respond when the sound of palace maids and eunuchs welcoming the Crown Prince came from outside.
His eyes turned cold. He stood up and walked to the door, just in time to meet Mu Yunqi.
Mu Yunqi was not surprised to see him. Instead, he smiled and said,"Ninth brother, you took care of Ling 'er the whole night, right?”
"There's no need for Your Highness to worry about Ling 'er's matter.”Mu Yunlan said with a cold face," It's just that Ling 'er needs to recuperate now. If Your Highness has anything to say, just tell me."”
Mu Yunqi lowered his eyes and smiled." What happened last night was BenGong's fault. I actually let Ling 'er block a knife for BenGong." It was only natural for him to come and take a look. Ninth brother, why are you so stingy?"
Mu Yunlan turned her face away, unwilling to pay attention to him.
At this moment, Xu Ling 'er's weak voice drifted over." Let the Crown Prince in."”
Mu Yunqi's eyes flashed with joy as he nodded at Mu Yunlan and walked into the room.#
