Chapter 1287 Shao Wanru Is in Danger
The things seized in Prince Zhou’s Mansion shocked the whole capital.
A lot of weapons were found in the garden of Prince Zhou’s Mansion, and all were sharpened. Apparently, they were used for rebellion. The ground had been trodden heavily for a long time. It could be seen that Prince Zhou had plotted on this matter long ago.
Moreover, Infanta Yuan’an also got involved in this matter because of the pair of phoenix hairpins seized from her room. In fact, Infanta Yuan’an knew something about it. Unlike what Ruiping Great Elder Princess cried and begged in front of the Palace gate, claiming that Infanta Yuan’an knew nothing about it. It was obvious that Infanta Yuan’an and Prince Zhou plotted it together.
Since Infanta Yuan’an was involved, what about Ruiping Great Elder Princess? The investigation about if Ruiping Great Elder Princess was also involved was immediately carried out in private. Various pieces of evidence were collected and verified by related parties, including the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court. For a time, everyone was in a panic in the capital, for fear of being involved.
That was a major crime of rebellion, which could result in decapitation.
Infanta Yuan’an and Chu Liuzhou were locked up together. Before the matter came to a conclusion, they were temporarily locked up in a Cold Palace with guards watching outside all the time.
Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuchen were mainly in charge of the investigation of Prince Zhou’s Mansion. The Emperor was under the weather. When he got to know the things seized from Prince Zhou’s Mansion, he was so angry that he fainted and spat out another mouthful of blood.
The Palace was in chaos.
Shao Wanru had returned to Prince Chen’s Mansion. Except for visiting her mother in her grandma’s mansion, she did not go anywhere else. Chu Liuchen had been so busy these days that he had almost been absent from home. He had been keeping the Emperor company in the Palace.
The carriage was ready in the morning, and Shao Wanru got on her carriage with Qing’er and Yujie.
The whole capital became much quieter these days because of the matter of Prince Zhou’s Mansion. The bustling streets seemed to be quiet all of a sudden. When people came and went, everyone was very careful and did not dare to talk nonsense.
Shao Wanru leaned against the window with her eyes slightly closed. The two servant girls leaned on the other side and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Suddenly, the carriage staggered, and Shao Wanru hit her head heavily against the window with a bang.
Shao Wanru was in so much pain that she burst into tears at once. She reached out to touch her head.
“Your Highness, the horse is startled!” the coachman screamed and tried hard to hold the startled horse.
However, the horse was so frightened that it couldn’t stop for a while. Shao Wanru was repeatedly hit inside the carriage, so she had to protect her head and face.
“Your Highness, hold me tight!” Qing’er moved forward and grabbed Shao Wanru by the sleeve. Then she said hurriedly, “Yujie, hold the window to protect your head.”
If it went on like this, Yujie would faint after a few more hits. Yujie had great strength, but she didn’t know martial arts.
“Got it. Save Her Highness!” Yujie said calmly. She held the window aside, steadied herself, and prevented herself from causing trouble to Qing’er.
“Yujie, hold my hand!” Shao Wanru grabbed Qing’er with one hand and reached out the other hand to Yujie. The carriage was so dangerous that it would probably cause a crash in a while. Staying in it would only lead to death.
“Your Highness, don’t worry about me!” Yujie refused to reach out because she was afraid to drag Shao Wanru.
“Yujie, hurry up!” Shao Wanru’s hand had been grabbed by Qing’er, and her other hand touched Yujie by the edge of her clothes. “If you keep hesitating, none of us can run away!”
Yujie didn’t dare to delay any longer. She reached out to hold Shao Wanru’s hand, gritted her teeth, and said, “Your Highness, I got your hand!”
Yujie made up her mind to jump out of the carriage with Shao Wanru first. In case anything was wrong, she would let go immediately, which was more convenient than Princess Chen holding her hand.
Seeing that Yujie was willing to hold her hand, Shao Wanru breathed a sigh of relief.
“Your Highness, get ready. Jump!” Qing’er shouted in a low voice. Then she took Shao Wanru and Yujie to rush to the door of the carriage.
The door of the carriage clanged. Whoever was hit by it, it would be hard to bear the pain. Fortunately, it was Qing’er in the front. Qing’er desperately bumped out and fell down with Shao Wanru and Yujie, and she quickly set her body as a shield for Shao Wanru. After rolling on the ground a few times with Shao Wanru in her arms, Qing’er protected Shao Wanru by lying under Shao Wanru.
Yujie let go of Shao Wanru’s hand when she rushed out of the carriage door. She grew up in the mountains and had her own protection method. She covered her head and face with her hands. After rolling twice on the ground, she fell to the ground. Yujie couldn’t stand up for a while in pain. She looked up with difficulty and called out, “Your Highness, Your Highness…”
The carriage rushed forward and hit a high wall hard. Seeing that no one was in the carriage, the coachman also jumped down the carriage. His movements were flexible. After falling, he rolled on the ground a few times and immediately stopped. In contrast, he was the least injured among them.
The accident happened too suddenly. When the carriage came to this place, a child fell in front of the carriage in the noise, and then the carriage rushed out in fright and hit the high wall hard. Shao Wanru and her two servant girls, who sitting in the carriage, were all lying in the middle of the street now.
Some people had already recognized the carriage of Prince Chen’s Mansion. These days, Shao Wanru’s carriage always passed through this section of the street at this time, so many people knew that Princess Chen was going to see her biological mother, who lived in Rui’an Great Elder Princess’ Mansion.
Just then, a group of people came out from behind the crowd. It was Chu Liuchen who jumped off the horse. When he saw Shao Wanru lying motionless on the ground, Chu Liuchen’s beautiful eyes immediately turned red. He rushed over and carried up Shao Wanru. His fingers trembled slightly and touched Shao Wanru’s wrist. When he sensed the pulsation of the pulse at the bottom of her wrist, the redness in his eyes faded a little.
“Guards, block this area!” Chu Liuchen said gloomily, “No one is allowed to leave the shops on both sides!”
“Yes!” The guards separated and rushed to both sides of the street.
“Zhuozhuo, Zhuozhuo!” Chu Liuchen called in a low voice while reaching out to check on Shao Wanru. He saw a wound on her hand, from which blood slowly seeped out. Then he closed his mouth hard.
A moment ago, Chu Liuchen had a strong sense of darkness and despair. He almost thought that something had really happened to Shao Wanru. He had always wanted to protect her well, but now she was in such great danger.
If it weren’t because of him, even if someone wanted to hurt her, they wouldn’t have used such a cruel method.
“Your Highness…” Seeing that Qing’er and Yujie were lying on the ground with their eyes open, Xiao Xuanzi breathed a sigh of relief and reminded Prince Chen, “Your Highness, shall we get an imperial physician here?”
“Go!” Chu Liuchen said sternly. .com
Xiao Xuanzi did not dare to delay. He took a horse from a guard and mounted it. He whipped the horse to run toward the Palace gate.
The imperial physician came quickly. When he heard that something had happened in Prince Chen’s Mansion, he immediately got on the horse and rushed over. When he got closer, he hurriedly got off the horse. He saw Prince Chen sitting on his knees on the ground in the crowd with a pale face. It was not the sickly pale as usual, but as gloomy as white paint.
The imperial physician was startled. He looked at Princess Chen in the arms of Prince Chen and said in a trembling voice, “Your Highness, can you allow me to check Her Highness’ wound?”
Prince Chen looked extremely embarrassed. He knelt on the ground without any manners and held the motionless Princess Chen in his arms. It made the imperial physician scared anyhow.
The imperial physician thought, “This Prince has been dealing with the Imperial Institute of Medicine for a long time. If something happens to Princess Chen, it will be a great deal. This Prince is very paranoid and vicious. As an imperial physician, I can only cure physical diseases, but not psychological ones.”
“Please come to see her! I… I can’t tell clearly,” Chu Liuchen said in a hoarse voice and held Shao Wanru’s hand over. He was almost drowned by panic and helplessness.
Chu Liuchen had been feeling the pulse of Shao Wanru. At first, Chu Liuchen was calm, and then he panicked. Until now, Shao Wanru had not recovered consciousness yet. Chu Liuchen was so flustered that he did not know how to deal with it. His every move now was just his subconscious reaction.
The imperial physician covered Shao Wanru’s wrist with a handkerchief, reaching out to feel her pulse, and his expression gradually softened. He thought, “Fortunately, Princess Chen is still alive. It seems that she has not been badly injured.”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. Her Highness just fainted from the fall. She will be fine in a little while. Please rest assured.” The imperial physician put down Shao Wanru’s wrist and said.
“Are you sure?” Chu Liuchen looked up with his blood-red eyes, which made the imperial physician panic, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
“Yes, Her Highness will be fine,” the imperial physician replied with his head down.
“Can I … carry her up?” Chu Liuchen looked down at Shao Wanru in his arms and asked in a soft voice.
“Yes, you can. Your Highness, it’s okay.” The imperial physician nodded. Now he understood why Prince Chen didn’t get up for such a long time. It turned out that he was afraid that something would happen to Princess Chen, so he didn’t dare to move her.
Chu Liuchen stood up. Unknowing whether it was because he had been sitting on his knees for a long time or because his feet went weak, Chu Liuchen almost fell when he just stood up. Fortunately, Xiao Xuanzi was smart enough to reach out to hold Chu Liuchen’s hand.
After standing steadily, Chu Liuchen asked the imperial physician to see Yujie and Qing’er.
Qing’er hand was injured when falling, for she was protecting Shao Wanru. Except for this, no other injuries. Yujie just sprained her ankle and had many scratches on her, but it was nothing serious.
Chu Liuchen told Xiao Xuanzi to escort Shao Wanru back to the mansion, and he stayed, sitting in front of a shop where the accident happened at that time. The little boy, who fell out and startled the horse, sat on the ground with a pale face. He was lucky. The horse was startled at that time, but it didn’t press him. Now, the little boy was shivering, and the other noisy children around him had already run away.
Chu Liuchen told the guard to bring the child over. It was just a little boy of seven or eight years old. The child did not realize it until he was brought in front of Chu Liuchen. He burst into tears in fear and kept calling “Mom”.
Chu Liuchen looked over the child and fixed his eyes on a ball on the ground, which was held in the child’s hands just now.
“Bring it over!”
The guard went to pick up the ball and then handed it to Chu Liuchen. Chu Liuchen reached out to take it and had a look. His eyes were chill and bloodthirsty, and he curled his lips silently. It felt very familiar. Others might not know it, but he had met it several times, so he knew it very well. He looked up upstairs on both sides.
“Go and check who are upstairs. Bring the ones who are related to the royal family downstairs, if any.”
It had been checked before. The incident happened all of a sudden, and Chu Liuchen also came suddenly. No one had expected that he would come so soon, so no one could leave in a short time even if he wanted to.
Many people had such a mood that they must see with their own eyes whether their plan succeeded or not, and so was this person…
