Chapter 46 My master sent me to deliver a message.
Inside the princess's mansion.
The bloody cloth strips were stained with blood and were taken out in basins by the maids.
Si Ning stood outside the dormitory, with a cold face and tight lips.
Wave after wave of imperial doctors were invited from inside and outside the palace. When the doctors left, they were carrying their medicine boxes with expressions of helplessness and fear.
Si Ning took a step forward and stopped one of the imperial doctors.
"Emperor Physician, how is His Highness's condition?"
The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, she... lost too much blood. I have already given her some decoction."
"But, if His Highness can't wake up tonight... I'm afraid it will be difficult for the gods and ghosts to deal with it!"
Si Ning frowned and looked pale.
He glanced in the direction of the dormitory, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Go down and tell me, there will be no guests in the princess' mansion today."
"I understand."
Si Ning didn't stay any longer and walked towards Jiang Jinshuang's bedroom.
Qian Yao did not follow him in. He came to guard the outside of the princess's mansion alone. He also sent people to guard the four corners of the princess's mansion to prevent anyone from taking advantage of it.
The news of Princess Zhaoming's assassination was not sealed, but within the time of burning incense, rumors spread throughout the capital that Princess Zhaoming was assassinated late at night and her life was in danger!
Of course, when these ordinary people heard the news about Princess Zhaoming, they just felt happy!
"Okay! This is just retribution!"
"That's right! Princess Zhaoming has done all kinds of evil all day long. Now that she has returned to Beijing, some righteous people must not be able to stand it anymore!"
"Hmph! It would be better for such a person to die as soon as possible! Living is also a disaster!"
"That's right! I want to see if she can survive tonight!"
"Have you heard? It seems that at the banquet in His Majesty's palace a few days ago, Princess Zhaoming was trying to seduce Mr. Chief Assistant!"
"Tsk! How shameless! The Chief Assistant and the daughter of the Xia family fall in love and are about to get married. Princess Zhaoming is so shameless!"
"Who says it's not..."
"..."
When people talk about Princess Zhaoming, they never have good things to say.
……
When Prince Jiang Biechen arrived at the princess mansion in a carriage, he was stopped by Qian Yao outside the door.
Qian Yao's expression remained unchanged, he slightly cupped his hands towards the visitor, and said in a calm tone: "Your Highness, please come back. There will be no guests in the Princess Mansion today."
Jiang Biechen frowned and looked solemnly: "The lonely imperial sister has been assassinated. It's such a serious matter, so naturally I have to come and check it out in person!"
Qian Yao clasped his fists: "His Royal Highness, please come back another day. His Highness is still in a coma. Even if you go in, you won't see anyone."
Jiang Biechen's eyelids moved.
He looked at Qian Yao and said in a deep tone: "Shuang'er was really assassinated?"
"My subordinates dare not lie."
Jiang Biechen touched the jade pulley on his thumb: "What did the imperial doctor say?"
Qian Yao said: "Your Highness has lost too much blood and needs all-out treatment."
Jiang Biechen passed Qian Yao and took a look inside the princess's mansion.
The servants in the courtyard all had nervous and solemn faces, walking back and forth in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere was depressing.
Jiang Biechen took a few steps back.
"That being the case, I'll come back another day."
Jiang Biechen got on the carriage.
As the carriage slowly left the princess's residence, Jiang Biechen opened the corner of the carriage curtain and said in a cold tone: "Go and check." "Yes."
——
Different from the depressing atmosphere of Princess Mansion, Xia Mansion today has its lintel hanging high and its main entrance wide open.
Xia Wenbin and Xia Yurong were already waiting at the door.
——Today, the Chief Assistant is coming to Xia Mansion as a guest, and they must treat him well!
It's just that the appointed time is coming, but Master Pei is nowhere to be seen.
Xia Wenbin frowned and turned to Xia Yurong: "Have you made it clear to the Chief Assistant that he will come today?"
Xia Yurong bit her lip slightly, with shyness in her eyes, and nodded slightly: "Well, at the palace banquet a few days ago, Brother Pei promised to come today."
Xia Wenbin became happy again, rubbed his hands excitedly, and continued to wait.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Just when the sun reached the top of the head, a young man from Wenshan Pavilion came belatedly. When he saw the two people at the door of Xia Mansion, he slightly cupped his hands.
"Master Xia, Miss Xia, my master asked the child to send a message to Miss Xia."
Xia Wenbin first felt a flash of displeasure in his heart.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
——It’s just that Pei Du didn’t keep the appointment, but he only sent a boy to send him away?
But when he heard the boy said that he was here to see "Miss Xia", Xia Wenbin became happy again.
It seems that the chief assistant is still thinking of Yu Rong!
Xia Yurong was also very surprised. She was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps forward and bit her lip slightly: "Brother Pei... is he unable to come because he has official business?"
The boy shook his head: "Miss Xia misunderstood. Your Excellency originally planned to send a young boy to deliver the message today."
Xia Yurong was stunned for a moment and did not react.
What do you mean it was originally prepared like this?
So, Pei Du had no intention of coming to Xia Mansion from the beginning to the end?
As her thoughts swirled, Xia Yurong suddenly remembered what Pei Du said to her at the end of the palace banquet.
"That being the case, Pei has something to tell Miss Xia in five days."
——From the beginning to the end, he never said he would come to Xia Mansion.
Xia Yurong's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.
The boy bowed his hands to Xia Yurong and said in a calm voice: "My lord said that since it was Her Royal Highness's wish, it would be more formal for him to personally send someone to inform him of the meeting."
After a pause, the man continued: "Miss Xia, Your Highness the Princess asked my family to tell you to stay away from Your Highness in the future. Your Highness has many things to do and has no energy to spend on you."
The smile on Xia Wenbin's face froze.
He widened his eyes and looked at the boy who came to deliver the message in disbelief, his eyes full of shock!
Xia Yurong's upright figure was also frozen in place, unable to move.
The boy didn't notice anything strange, but continued: "The above is what His Highness meant. My Lord also has a few words to say to Lord Xia."
Xia Wenbin was stunned in place and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The boy turned to Xia Wenbin and said calmly: "Mr. Taught you.”
After saying that, the boy cupped his hands again, turned around and left without saying anything.
Xia Wenbin just stood there blankly, looking at the direction the boy was leaving, with a cold light in his eyes.
He frowned and asked Xia Yurong: "What is going on? Didn't you say that the Chief Assistant will come to the house today!"
"Dad, calm down," Xia Yurong lowered her head, rolled her eyes, and bit her lip slightly, "Probably, it's probably because something happened to Her Royal Highness the Princess today, and the Chief Assistant is unable to come to the appointment due to his status."
"It's okay if he doesn't come to the appointment. What does he mean by those words!?"
Xia Wenbin was not a fool. He looked down at Xia Yurong: "Rong'er, since you came to Xia Mansion, you have always said that you and the Chief Assistant have the same mind, but why now I see that Pei Du's thoughts are spent on Zhaoming?" On the princess?”
"Dad, you have misunderstood. Princess Zhaoming suddenly returned to Beijing. This is something no one could have imagined." A bit afraid.”
"What he did today...should be for the princess's house to see. Daddy, please don't be angry."
Xia Wenbin looked ugly. After hearing what Xia Yurong said, he glared at her again and returned home.
Xia Yurong lowered her head, wringing her handkerchief, with an unclear expression.
——
It's night, outside the princess's house.
"Master Jingmo, please come back! The princess will not see guests today!" Qian Yao's voice was cold.
