Xu Zijin rushed over after receiving the news. On the way, he met the princess being held by Su Yi. He staggered and almost collapsed to the ground.

The maid pushed open the door, and Su Yi directly put the unconscious princess on the bed, then quickly retreated.

The princess' maidservant and the court doctor came quickly, and Xu Zijin had no time to ask what was going on.

He didn't dare to ask.

After the doctor felt his pulse and inserted an acupuncture needle, he trembled and asked tentatively: "What happened?"

The maidservant at the side recounted what had just happened, and specifically emphasized that it was the eldest lady who did not stand firmly.

Xu Zijin ran out angrily upon hearing this, but Su Yi stopped him, "Don't get excited, it's more important to look after what's inside."

Lord Xu and Madam Xu rushed over. Madam Xu held her son's hand and asked, "What happened? Why did you faint? I heard that the maid hit you. How is he now?"

The maid who went to report the news was Xu Jiuyan's person, so she naturally avoided the main point and spoke about the matter.

"Mom," Xu Zijin yelled, "Go ask your sister."

“You” Mrs. Xu thought of her daughter’s character and said stiffly, “Your sister…she…”

She couldn't explain it for a long time.

The doctor came out with a medicine box, and Xu Zijin approached him, "How is it?"

The court doctor told the truth: "The princess has signs of miscarriage. Whether she can be saved depends on tonight. I suggest calling Dr. Sun to take a look."

Xu Zijin ordered with a sullen face: "Go and get the doctor, and go to the Prince's Mansion to tell the Princess."

As he was about to go in, Madam Xu pulled him back and said, "Zijin, isn't this a bad idea..."

She was afraid that it had something to do with her daughter, and the princess arrived.

"Mother, you are still protecting your sister. The one inside is the princess, and she is pregnant with your grandson. Why don't you think about your son?"

After saying that, she walked in. Madam Xu looked at Lord Xu with a look of fear and helplessness in her eyes: "Master..."

"If she is truly innocent, the princess will not do anything to her. Just wait."

After saying this, she sat in the yard. Madam Xu did not dare to leave, and quickly ordered the nanny beside her: "Go see where the young lady is and bring her back first."

Liu Huan and Su Wan were guarding inside. Only after Xu Zijin went in and thanked them did they get up and open the door.

The moment Liu Huan stood up, he knelt down again because of the severe pain in his foot.

Su Wan supported her and said, "Huanhuan, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Huan gasped in pain and was speechless. Xu Zijin said, "Quick, send her to the next door and ask the court doctor to check her out."

A strong maid carried Liu Huan out and turned into the next room.

Su Yi saw her like this and followed her in: "What's going on?"

Su Wan cried anxiously: "I don't know, I just can't stand up."

After examining her, the court doctor said, "This young lady just sprained her ankle, the bones are fine."

With these words, Su Yi finally felt relieved. Seeing Liu Huan gasping in pain, he said, "Then why is she in pain all the time?"

"It would be strange if it didn't hurt, just look."

The court doctor lifted her foot and saw that her ankle was visibly swollen.

"Why is it so serious?"

The court doctor explained: "It's a normal process. It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe some medicine for her to apply. She'll rest for half a month and she'll be almost healed."

Liu Huan felt that he had Mercury retrograde, otherwise why did he keep getting injured? He had to go burn some incense.

Not long after, a maidservant outside whispered, "The prince and his family are coming here in anger."

Su Yi asked Su Wan to stay inside with him, and he went out to greet them. He saw the prince and princess in the lead, followed by the three young masters and young ladies of the palace.

A group of people came over angrily. Lord Xu led everyone to pay their respects, but the princess ignored them and went straight in with the imperial physician.

The prince looked stern, and the group of people kneeling just kept kneeling like that. Lord Xu also kept the posture of saluting until the imperial physician came out.

"how?"

The imperial physician replied, "The princess has signs of miscarriage, but I have already given her acupuncture. She will be fine after half a month of rest."

The prince said, "You stay here to take care of the princess for the next few days, and I will go and talk to the emperor."

Imperial Physician: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The prince then turned around and said, "Get up."

Madam Xu helped the maid to stand up and stood beside her with her head huddled like a quail.

The prince sat on the chair and didn't say anything until two maids brought Xu Jiuyan over.

Xu Jiuyan: "Dad, Mom..."

The old woman pushed her to the ground and said, "Kneel down!"

Normally, a young lady from a third-rank official's family should not be made to kneel, but the princess gave the order before entering the palace, and the maid did as she was told.

Xu Jiuyan knelt for a long time before the princess came out and sat next to the prince.

The maid filled her teacup, but she threw the whole cup at Xu Jiuyan without even drinking a sip. Mrs. Xu didn't dare to get angry or say anything.

"You are so brave, Huashi, take them to pack Jiaojiao's things and take her home today."

Hua is the wife of the Crown Prince and the eldest daughter-in-law in the royal palace.

"Yes, concubine!"

Xu Zijin knelt on the ground, "Mother-in-law..."

"Shut up," the princess interrupted him, "What did you say at the beginning? You would treat her well. Is this how you treat her? Anyone can bully her, right?"

The Xu family members lowered their heads and dared not speak. Xu Jiuyan on the ground could not help but excuse herself: "Princess, although I accidentally fell and bumped into Guyu, if she had hidden to the side, she would not have bumped into the princess."

Li Yu behind him was obviously startled, and Xie Nan saw it.

The princess threw another teacup directly at her face, scratching her forehead and causing a big bump instantly.

"No matter who you are, you dare to speak like that? Slap your face."

The nanny beside him slapped him twice, and Xu Jiuyan's face turned red instantly.

The princess then said, "Frost, you tell me."

Shuangjiang was the senior maid who was promoted later. She recounted what had just happened.

After a pause, he said, "Miss Liu sprained her ankle after catching her master, and is resting in the room next door."

"Call her out."

The princess was so angry that her eyes turned red. She personally interrogated everyone present.

Liu Huan was supported by Su Wan and came out with one foot lifted in full view of everyone.

Enduring the severe pain, he knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty and Princess!"

"Master Sun, please check her feet."

Lord Sun didn't care about the presence of so many people and exposed Liu Huan's ankles. Everyone saw her feet that were swollen like steamed buns and it was painful to look at.

The princess snorted coldly, "It's no wonder that the princess protects you so much. Get up."

Su Yi stepped forward to help her up, and asked Su Wan to support her, and stepped forward and said: "Prince and Princess, Huanhuan's foot is seriously injured. Can you let her go back and rest first?"

The princess frowned, and Li Yu was about to step forward, but was stopped by Xie Nan. The prince saw his brother's helplessness and said, "Mother, let her go back. I'm afraid she needs to take good care of her foot."

The princess finally said, "Go back, or others will say that the palace is abusing you."

Liu Huan didn't want to leave at first, but Su Yi carried her up and said, "I'll take you and your sister back first."
