The carriage arrived at Yuelai Inn. Caiyi carried Su Lingyue on her back, and Caidie covered the person on Caiyi's back with a fox fur cloak.

In the private room on the second floor, the setting sun shone into the room through the window, and the golden sunset was reflected on Su Lingyue's pale face.

Caiyi looked at the departing carriage and closed the window.

After lighting the lamp, he said to Caidie, "Go get some hot water."

Caidie went out, and Caiyi asked the waiter to bring a pair of scissors.

Looking at the dress stained with blood, Caiyi's hands trembled slightly.

But thinking that his young lady's safety was in his hands before Doctor Lu came, he forced himself to cheer up.

After cutting open the bloodstained outer garment, one could see that the cotton-filled inner garment had soaked up enough blood and was stuck to the torn skin and flesh together with the lining.

Caiyi glanced at Su Lingyue, who still had her eyes closed, and said silently in her heart: Miss, please bear with it.

Tearing the clothes off little by little, Caiyi saw the originally fair and smooth skin, now bloody and horrible.

Caiyi felt so distressed that she wanted to cry, but now there were only her and Caidie by the young lady's side, so she had to be strong.

Wiping her tears with her sleeve, Caiyi continued to tear her clothes.

Su Lingyue had probably fainted completely because she was too weak. The pain of having her flesh torn apart did not even make her frown at all.

After the clothes were torn off, blood began to flow out from the exposed flesh.

Caiyi's hands trembled slightly as she took the powder given by Doctor Zhang and sprinkled the entire bottle of medicine on it.

The brown powder gradually turns into brown-red.

"Sister, the water is here!" Caidie came into the house carrying a basin of hot water.

Caiyi had already cut open Su Lingyue's clothes.

They didn't know about this unexpected change today and didn't prepare extra clothes.

Doctor Lu will be here soon, we can’t let the young lady be like this.

"Cai Die, go to Xiu Luo Manor and get a coat and three sets of lining for the young lady. I will come and wash her body."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Caidie said and left the room.

The servant Fulai kept Caiyi's words in mind and drove the carriage all the way to the palace.

The carriage was parked at the back door, where there were few people entering and exiting and it was not easy to be discovered.

After knocking on the door, he didn't bother to pay attention to the servant who opened the door and greeted him, and went straight to Baicao Garden.

He shouted several times in the yard, but there was no response.

Since Doctor Lu is not in Baicao Garden, he must be treating the prince in Furong Pavilion now.

He remembered what Caiyi had told him, that the prince must not be allowed to know what happened in the palace today.

He trotted all the way to Furong Pavilion, but as he was a servant in the outer courtyard, he was not qualified to go in, so he could only ask the servant at the door to inform him.

Fulai paced anxiously at the door, waiting for the prince's message.

After a while, the servant who went to report came back.

"follow me!"

"Thank you." Fu Lai thanked him and followed the servant who reported the incident.

In the bedroom of Furong Pavilion, Xiao Yu leaned lazily on the soft pillow and read a book.

Doctor Lu placed a hot salt bag on Xiao Yu's knee and gave him hot compress treatment.

Yan Qing opened her round eyes and looked at Doctor Lu who put the salt bag away and massaged the acupoints on Xiao Yu's legs.

"Uncle Lu, we have seven days to go to Longhua Temple. Will the prince's leg be healed?"

Doctor Lu didn't look at Yan Qing. He massaged the acupuncture points while answering, "The time is too short. Walking is fine, but you can't run or jump. If you want to have no problems at all, you need at least three months of recuperation."

Yan Qing frowned, "But that dog emperor has already set an ambush. If I can't run, then I will just be slaughtered if something happens!"

"The old emperor is serious this time and wants to kill us!"

"That boy Yun Ting has been in Jiangnan for so long, and there is no news at all!"

As he spoke, he became more and more excited, and his fingers made a crackling sound.

Xiao Yu seemed to be indifferent, and said calmly: "He is investigating the governor of Jiangnan over there. He will come back if he has any news. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come back."

The worry on Yan Qing's face was not reduced at all, "But, we have more than half as many people as they do!"

Xiao Yu put the book down and curled his lips slightly, "It doesn't mean you will win just because you have more people!"

"Your Majesty, I, Lai Fu, want to see you!"

The voice of the coachman of Su Lingyue's carriage was heard at the door.

Xiao Yu looked at Yan Qing and said, "Let him in."

Yan Qing's face was still full of worry. After hearing what Xiao Yu said, he went to open the door for Lai Fu with a cold face.

As soon as the door opened, Lai Fu saw Yan Qing, who was usually laughing, now had a sullen face and looked a little scary. Lai Fu couldn't help but take a step back in fear.

"What are you standing there for? The prince asked you to come in!"

Hearing Yan Qing's impatient words, Lai Fu hurried into the house.

Fortunately, he usually drove a horse-drawn carriage and had encountered many situations where dignitaries tried to cut in their way. Through repeated negotiations, he also developed a lot of courage.

After following Yan Qing into the room, he walked around the screen and saw Xiao Yu leaning against a soft pillow looking at him. Doctor Lu was massaging Xiao Yu's acupoints.

He lowered his head and walked over, kneeling down to pay his respects.

"I, Lai Fu, am here to see His Majesty!"

Xiao Yu looked at Lai Fu and asked, "Get up! Did the princess ask you to come back and pass on a message?"

Lai Fu stood up, looked at Xiao Yu and replied, "Yes, the princess asked me to come back and tell the prince that the queen wanted to keep her for a few days so that the prince would not have to worry."

Xiao Yu looked at him with a smile on his lips and asked, "Does the princess have anything else to say?"

Lai Fu was puzzled. Should there be anything else to say? But Cai Yi didn't say anything else.

He shook his head. “No.”

Xiao Yu gradually stopped smiling and looked at him sternly, with the oppression of a superior that made him feel a little breathless.

"Your Highness...what's wrong?" Lai Fu asked cautiously.

Xiao Yu stared at him with his dark eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on with the blood on your sleeve?"

Lai Fu was startled and raised his arm to look at his arm. Sure enough, there was a dark red bloodstain on his right sleeve.

He remembered that when Caiyi carried the princess out of the carriage, he lent a hand and helped to support her. It must have been at that time that he touched the princess's dress.

Xiao Yu looked at Lai Fu coldly, his eyes full of bloodthirstiness, "Tell me! What happened in the palace!"

Even though he had seen many big scenes, Lai Fu was still frightened by Xiao Yu's murderous look, and he knelt down tremblingly.

"Your Highness, I don't know what happened in the palace, but the princess had fainted when she came out, and there was blood on her dress. She is now at the Yuelai Inn, and Miss Caiyi asked me to bring Doctor Lu over."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's chest tightened and he started coughing violently.

Doctor Lu patted his back to calm him down, and turned to look at Lai Fu and asked, "Are her two personal maids here?"

Lai Fu quickly replied, "Yes."

Yan Qing looked at Lai Fu in confusion, "Why didn't the princess return to the palace when she was injured, but stayed at the inn instead?"

Lai Fu shook his head.

Doctor Lu said worriedly, "Maybe they are afraid of seeing the prince like this!"

Xiao Yu coughed more and more violently, and his ears and cheeks turned red due to the violent coughing.

Doctor Lu saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered Yan Qing, "Bring the heart-protecting pills from the medicine box!"

"Oh." Yan Qing responded, and quickly walked to the medicine box. After rummaging around for a while, he saw a bottle with "Heart Protection Pills" labeled on it. He quickly opened the stopper and poured a pill for Doctor Lu.

Doctor Lu helped Xiao Yu up and was about to feed him medicine, but he found that Xiao Yu's palm was bright red.
