Chapter 320: Chapter 320

320 I will handle the punishment

Liu Jin Yu was surprised to see a mysterious man who had come to the rescue of Li Hua. She turned to check if there were anymore around, but the soldiers had already killed them. One of the injured masked men sneaked out while holding his arm.

“Li Hua, are you alright?” Feng Lao asked. When he didn’t get the answer, he pulled away and found she had fainted.

Liu Jin Yu ran to them and looked at Li Hua. She threw the swords from her hands and patted Li Hua’s cheeks.

“She has fainted,” Feng Lao said, and asked Liu Jin Yu if she would carry his sword. She nodded at him and took the sword from Feng Lao. The soldiers surrounded them when the head soldier asked them to follow him.

Feng Lao carried Li Hua in his arms. Liu Jin Yu told him that she would carry Li Hua on her back, but Feng Lao refused.

“Prince Lóng Wei will kill you if he finds out that you carried his wife in your arms,” Liu Jin Yu warned him. “He may kill you for taking his wife’s name. Wait! How do you know she’s Li Hua?” She suddenly got suspicious of him.

Feng Lao had scooped Li Hua in his arms and started to walk, thus ignoring Liu Jin Yu’s words. She ran after them and continued to tell Feng Lao to leave Li Hua.

“Miss, will you stop being annoying?” Feng Lao finally urged her. “I will handle the punishment from His Highness in my way. You do not need to worry about it,” he stated.

The soldiers followed them while looking around.

.....

“Did you say that I am annoying?” Liu Jin Yu questioned him and stood up in front of him. Feng Lao’s feet came to a halt, and he looked at her in inquisitiveness.

“Put Li Hua down. I will carry her on my back,” Liu Jin Yu said.

“Miss, let’s talk about this when we reach the palace. Li Hua must safely get inside the palace before someone comes here to attack us,” he stated and walked past her. Liu Jin Yu knitted her brows and realized that the man was close to Li Hua. She turned quiet and remained alert. She asked one of the soldiers to inform Lóng Wei about it.

“My Lady, the Sixth Prince will kill me if I inform him,” the soldier said, with a frightened look.

“But if Prince Lóng Wei isn’t informed about this, then he will be super angry. You should go and inform him,” Liu Jin Yu opined and tried to convince the soldier. She thought if he would not agree, then she would go to tell Lóng Wei about this.

“Tell His Highness that the Princess Consort has fainted. The rest of the things, I will explain when he reaches the palace,” Feng Lao instructed the soldier. He agreed to go and left for the administrative office.

They soon reached the palace. The soldiers were shocked to see Li Hua in the arms of Feng Lao while Liu Jin Yu’s arm was still bleeding. However, she had forgotten about the wound. She was worried about Li Hua, and then Lóng Wei’s reactions.

Ai Fen and Xiaolian were in the orchid pavilion, waiting for Jingfei to come, when they saw Liu Jin Yu with a man. “Who is he and whom is he carrying?” Xiaolian asked Ai Fen. Since they were on the other side of the corridor, they were unable to see clearly.

“It seems they are heading to Brother Lóng Wei’s manor. We should go too, Sister Xiaolian,” Ai Fen said and she stood up from the chair. Xiaolian agreed with her, and they both also headed behind them.

Feng Lao placed Li Hua on the mattress and stood straight. Liu Jin Yu quickly covered Li Hua with a blanket and looked towards the door, wondering when the royal physician would come.

Feng Lao gazed at Li Hua. He wanted to check if she was wounded anywhere, but he had lost that right long ago.

He was on his way to the palace, but he took the route that Mingquan had asked him to follow when he would return to Qinping. When he heard the swords clanking, he got alert. Li Hua was standing with a sword in her hand, as if she had seen a ghost.

The woman, who didn’t even kill a tiny insect, had to kill the shooter before her. Moreover, the scenes from that night might have reflected in her eyes. Li Hua didn’t deserve to see all this.

Within next five minutes, Peng Yuxian arrived in the bedchamber and bowed before them. He asked them to leave the chamber as he needed to examine Li Hua. The maidservant stayed inside while Liu Jin Yu gestured to Feng Lao to follow her.

“Jin Yu, what happened to Li Hua?” Ai Fen asked as she stepped in with Xiaolian. Feng Lao lowered his head and took the sword from Liu Jin Yu. He walked out and put it inside the sheath. Xiaolian glanced at him and he left their sight.

“Jin Yu, did you hurt yourself?” Ai Fen looked at her left arm and saw that the dress had torn. The blood was all over her left arm and it worried her.

Liu Jin Yu looked at her arm and told Ai Fen that it was a minor cut.

“It doesn’t seem like a minor cut,” Xiaolian said, and asked her what happened with them. Liu Jin Yu briefed them on everything.

Ai Fen grabbed Jin Yu’s right arm and took her inside the bedchamber, where Peng Yuxian was examining Li Hua.

“Phyisican Peng, please dress the wound on Miss Liu Jin Yu’s arm after you examine the Princess Consort,” Ai Fen requested Peng Yuxian.

He stood up and said that he would do it.

“How is Li Hua? She isn’t injured, right?” Liu Jin Yu asked.

“Her Highness is fine. She has fainted and will wake up after some time,” Peng Yuxian answered. “Allow me, Miss Liu, to treat your wound,” he humbly requested.

Ai Fen made her sit on the chaise and told the maidservant to stay outside. She asked not to let anyone in until the wound on Liu Jin Yu’s arm was treated.

The maidservant complied with the command of the Second Princess and walked out of the bedchamber.
