Zhao Yong was dressed in black. From a distance, Jiang Peihuan hadnât noticed, but as he approached, she detected the strong scent of blood on him.
Moreover, Zhao Yongâs face was extremely pale.
After some thought, Jiang Peihuan tossed him a bottle of medicine.
Seeing that Jian Peihuan had given him another bottle of medicine, Zhao Yong looked somewhat puzzled. Before he could question, Jiang Peihuan quickly said, âItâs to stop the bleeding.â
Upon hearing Jiang Peihuanâs words, a look of surprise flashed in Zhao Yongâs eyes, followed by a complex emotion. However, he didnât say anything and simply bowed to Jiang Peihuan before leaving with Zhao Fuqing.
âEldest Sister, are we going back to the mansion?â
âWe rarely come here, so letâs stay for a few days.â
As she spoke, Jiang Peihuan turned to look at Xiao Nanye beside her.
Seeing her gaze, the man directly responded, âWhatever Huanâer wishes.â
Thus, after Zhao Fuqingâs departure, Jiang Peihuan and the others stayed in West Mountain.
Inside the capital city, Huainan Kingâs Mansion.
âQing Er? What happened?â
Chu Rou almost fainted when she saw Zhong Fuqing covered in blood.
She turned and stared fiercely at Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong stepped forward, bowing to Chu Rou before quietly saying, âYour Highness, the prince encountered a brown bear in West Mountain. His leg⦠was bitten off.â
âWhat did you say?â
Chu Rou had not noticed anything wrong with Zhao Fuqing, who was covered with a black blanket. But upon hearing Zhao Yongâs words, she tremblingly pulled back the blanket. Seeing Zhao Fuqingâs missing foot, her vision darkened, and she fainted.
âQueen Huainanâ¦â
Nanny Wei saw Chu Rou fall and quickly went forward to support her.
She then yelled at a maid nearby, âWhat are you waiting for? Go fetch the doctor!â
âYes.â
The maid, startled by the scene, ran out upon hearing Nanny Weiâs command.
The entire Huainan Mansion was in chaos.
Zhao Yong looked at the servant and whispered,â Whereâs His Highness? Has he arrived?â
âIâve already sent someone to wait at the palace gates. As soon as his highness comes out, he will be inform.â
Hearing this, Zhao Yong nodded.
âChief Butler Zhao Yong, the doctor is here.â
âQuick, let him treat the prince.â
While the doctor examined Zhao Fuqing, Zhao Yong stayed close. After the examination, Zhao Yong asked softly, âHow is prince?â
âHis life is not in danger, but?â
âBut what?â
The doctor glanced at Zhao Fuqingâs leg and whispered, âFrom now on, the prince will have a handicap.â
Although the doctor was being tactful, but everyone in the room understood what the doctor meant. He meant that Zhong Fuqing would be a disabled.
âDo you mean that my son will be a cripple from now on? Ahâ¦â
Just as Zhao Yong was about to speak, Chu Rou, the Queen of Huainan, rushed in.
She glared at the doctor with anger in her eyes and spoke coldly.
Seeing the expression in Chu Ronâs eyes, the doctor was shocked. However, he was just a doctor, not a god. He could only tell the truth.
After bowing to Chu Rou, the doctor said in a trembling voice, âForgive me, your highness, but the young princeâs leg has been bitten off. Even the mightiest god cannotâ¦â
âShut up, do you believe that 1 will kill you, you quack!â
Before the doctor could finish, Chu Rou shouted at him.
Then, she turned to the guards and ordered, âKill this useless doctor.â
Hearing Chu Ronâs words, the doctorâs face turned pale. Zhao Yong, having witnessed the scene, stepped forward, âYour Highness, this isnât the doctorâs fault. Please spare him, heâ¦â
âSlap!â
Before Zhao Yong could finish, Chu Rou slapped him hard on the face.
Glaring at him, Chu Ronâs eyes were dark as she said, âIf itâs not his fault, then itâs yours. A servant like you failed to protect your master. You deserve to die too.â
As she spoke, Chu Rou looked at the guard at the side and said coldly,â Kill this damned person as well.ââ
However, none of the guards from the Huainan Mansion dared to step forward.
Zhao Yong had always been a favorite of the King Huainan. Although Chu Rou was the Queen of the Huainan Mansion, the guards were loyal to the King.
So, no one took action.
Seeing this, Chu Rou, already in a foul mood, looked even more displeased.
She shouted at the guards,â You dog slaves, do you not understand human language?â
âWhat are you yelling about?â
A deep voice echoed from the entrance.
Everyone knelt down and greeted, âYour Highness.â
Zhao Yang entered the hall. Looking at the hysterical Chu Rou, he said coldly, âLook at yourself. Do you look like a queen?â
âQing Er is missing a leg and could be dead, how can 1 care about anything now?â
âHe brought this on himself. Who else is there to blame?â
Chu Rou was stunned when she heard Zhao Yangâs words.
She stared at Zhao Yang in disbelief.
If she wasnât certain that her hearing was perfect, sheâd have doubted her ears.
She gazed at Zhao Yang in shock, whispering, âYour Highness, what do you mean by that? Qing Er is your own son.â
âHe dared to scheme against the Jiang family on West Mountain and was bested. Who is there to blame?â
âAnd since you mentioned that Qing Er is my son, thereâs something else 1 should tell you.â
Hearing this, Chu Rou suddenly had a bad feeling.
She looked up at Zhao Yang, eyes wide in anticipation.
However, Zhao Yang did not look at her. Instead, he looked at Zhao Yong. âYong Er is also my biological son.â
âWhat did you say?â
Zhao Yangâs voice was soft, but Chu Rou heard him clearly.
She looked between Zhao Yang and Zhao Yong.
It was then that she noticed the uncanny resemblance between them.
Chu Ronâs face turned ashen. She pointed at Zhao Yang, her fingers trembling, âYou heartless man. Have you forgotten what you promised my father and mother? You said youâd take care of me. You said youâd never take another concubine. Now, you say this bastard is your son. Zhao Yang, have you been fair to me, to my parents?â
Faced with Chu Ronâs repeated accusations, Zhao Yangâs expression remained unchanged.
If one looked closely, there was a hint of disgust and anger.
Looking at Chu Rou, Zhao Yang said coldly, âItâs because I promised your father that all these years 1 havenât been with another woman.â
âBut Yong Er is the child of Lian Er.â
Hearing this name, Chu Rou collapsed into a chair nearby..
