When they arrived at the gate of Hengzhiyuan, the guard did not stop them and automatically made way for them when he saw that it was Su Lingyue.

"Is the prince in there?" she asked.

The guard bowed respectfully and replied, "Princess, there are guests inside. The prince is inside now."

"Guest?" Su Lingyue asked the guard curiously, "Who is it?"

The guard said, “I don’t know him.”

"Miss, are we going in?" Caidie asked.

The guest who came here even though he was not known to me was most likely the eldest prince.

It shouldn't be a big deal to come here and talk instead of in the study.

After all, this is the first time I follow Lu Boxue to treat external injuries. I don’t know how Li Jue’s injury is.

"I want to see the Fourth Prince's injuries. Come in!"

Su Lingyue didn't delay any longer and went into the yard with Caidie.

When Su Lingyue walked to the door where Li Jue was resting, she heard people talking inside.

Their voices were not loud and Su Lingyue couldn't hear clearly.

Caidie walked forward and knocked on the door gently a few times, and the conversation inside stopped.

"Who?"

It was Yan Qing's voice.

"The princess is here!" Caidie replied.

The door opened from the inside and Xiao Yu walked out from behind Yan Qing.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Yu walked up to Su Lingyue and asked in a gentle voice.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu with her bright eyes and explained the purpose of her visit softly, "I want to see how the Fourth Prince is injured. Is it inconvenient now?"

She tilted her head, looked past Xiao Yu, and looked inside curiously.

Xiao Yu paused, curled his lips slightly, and took her hand, "It's not inconvenient, they should meet their benefactor."

"Let's go!" As he said that, he pulled Su Lingyue into the house.

Sure enough, guests came.

There were still two of them, and she knew both of them.

One was Li Mao, the eldest prince of Xiliang, whom he met when he had a conflict with Princess Chaohua.

Today she was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves and dark black brocade patterns. Her long hair was tied up with a ribbon of the same color and a white jade hairpin was pinned in the middle.

He looked cold and distant.

The other one is Mu Lang, whom Xiao Yu met at his birthday party.

Today, he wore a purple-blue fur-lined cloak with a robe of the same color underneath. His long hair was tied up and fixed with a white jade hairpin.

He looked like a young and handsome man, but his expression still had the oppressive feeling he had on his birthday party.

Although he was smiling, the smile in his eyes made people feel unfathomable.

It’s not surprising that the eldest prince is here, but why is Mu Lang here too?

Xiao Yu took her to the side of the group, and the two people who were originally sitting also stood up.

Li Mao's gaze was still cold when he looked at him.

I guess she still remembers that she broke Princess Chaohua's arm!

Mu Lang had now concealed all his sharpness, looking kind with a faint smile on his face.

Has anyone ever told him that he has a sinister smile?

Xiao Yu introduced Li Mao and Mu Lang, "This is my princess. She and the doctor in the palace treated the Fourth Prince. She came to check on the Fourth Prince's injuries."

Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Li Mao frowned slightly, and his eyes seemed to be examining and sizing up Su Lingyue.

After struggling for a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my fourth brother."

Mu Lang also smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Princess, my fourth brother was lucky enough to save his life."

Su Lingyue also nodded politely according to the rules, then looked at Mu Lang in surprise, "Which prince are you?"

Mu Lang chuckled and said, "I am Li Lang, the third son of Li Zongyuan, the King of Xiliang."

Su Lingyue frowned slightly.

After Xiao Yu's birthday party, she told Xiao Yu about her encounter with Mu Lang, and Xiao Yu's subordinates were unable to find out.

Now, he admitted it so easily.

He is so good at hiding, which shows that he is quite scheming!

Li Lang's unintentional expression was indeed cold and solemn, making people feel oppressive.

As if he could see Su Lingyue's dissatisfaction with him, he suppressed his emotions and explained with a chuckle, "The Japanese king has just arrived in the capital and does not want to reveal his identity too early, so as to avoid inconvenience in his actions. Please forgive me, Princess!"

Su Lingyue chuckled and apologized insincerely, "I didn't know your identity that day, so I was a little rude. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Li Lang curled his lips and said, "It's not considered neglect. The princess even gave me an attendant. I learned a lot that day, but I haven't had time to thank the princess yet!"

He was talking about asking Jiang Siqi to help look after him at the birthday party that day.

He actually knew everything!

This person is really meticulous!

However, before Su Lingyue could open her mouth to fight back, Xiao Yu on the side tightly held Su Lingyue's hand and said calmly with a sullen face: "It's just adding another pair of chopsticks, it's nothing to worry about!"

"Please do as you please." After saying that, he pulled Su Lingyue towards the unconscious Li Jue.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu's tense face, not knowing what had happened.

He was smiling just now, but now I feel like he is angry.

Yes, that Li Lang had bad intentions and entered the palace in disguise. Anyone would be unhappy.

As I was thinking, they had already come to the bed.

"Can I see it?" Su Lingyue turned her head and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's expression relaxed and he let go of Su Lingyue's hand, "Yes, it's okay."

Su Lingyue lifted the quilt covering Li Jue's upper body and found no fresh blood on the white cloth.

She reached out and felt Li Jue's pulse. Although he was still very weak, it seemed from his pulse that he was slowly recovering.

After tugging on Li Jue's blanket, Su Lingyue said to Xiao Yu, "If nothing unexpected happens, he will wake up in a day or two."

"That's great. Yue'er won't have to work so hard anymore."

Xiao Yu's eyes were full of approval as he looked at Su Lingyue with a smile. He felt that the person who ordered the woman not to practice medicine must have a deep hatred for her.

If he had seen this crescent moon, he would have found it very beautiful.

Bright and flawless, intelligent and tenacious. Even though it is not the brightest in the sky, it can still shine and illuminate many people.

Li Mao was standing aside and said in a deep voice, "Ever since Li Jue was assassinated and disappeared, I have been extremely worried. I guessed that he might be saved, but I never thought that he would be saved by all of you."

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "It's just a piece of cake."

He changed the subject and asked, "But I am very curious. In previous years, the King of Xiliang came in person on the Emperor's birthday. I wonder why he didn't come this year?"

Hearing this, Li Mao's face gradually darkened, "Father originally said he would come this year, but he suddenly fell ill before he set off, so we have to come!"

Xiao Yu looked at Li Lang and asked calmly, "The Third Prince did not report this. I wonder why he is here too?"

He looked at Li Lang with questioning eyes.

Li Lang smiled and said, "I started out as a businessman and travel back and forth between Daning and Xiliang all year round. This time I came here and happened to meet Prince Su's birthday. It just so happens that the emperor's birthday is coming soon, so I just wanted to stay and join in the fun."

"It's better to stay away from such fun!" Xiao Yu said with a slight warning tone.

Then, he continued, "Although you two are blood relatives of the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince has not yet woken up. To prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation, if you want to get close to the Fourth Prince, you need to be accompanied by my followers. After all, this is in my palace."

Li Mao, who was originally somewhat unhappy with Xiao Yu's tough rules, immediately lost his anger when he heard Xiao Yu say this.

Indeed, if something happened to them in the palace, the couple would be the most suspicious.

Li Mao bowed his hands respectfully, "Prince Su, Princess, please rest assured, I will remember and will not let anyone approach him casually."

Xiao Yu curled his lips, looked at Lin Chuan and ordered, "Guard this place well."

Lin Chuan cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry."

After explaining everything, Xiao Yu took Su Lingyue's hand and left Hengzhiyuan.

After leaving Hengzhi Courtyard, Xiao Yu spoke softly, "Yue'er, if you want to come here in the future, remember to go with me."

"Why?" Su Lingyue was puzzled. "Does the prince think there is something wrong with these two brothers?"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "People's hearts are hard to predict. This is one aspect, and on the other hand..."

He didn't continue!

Su Lingyue frowned. Has she ever told Xiao Yu that only speaking half of the words is very torturous?

"What's the other side?" Su Lingyue asked persistently.

Xiao Yu stopped and warned in a very serious tone, "Stay away from Li Lang, he has ulterior motives."

Su Lingyue thought of Li Lang's expression and felt that this person was hiding something very well. "What is he planning?"

"I don't mean well, Yue'er, don't come here alone." Xiao Yu said, seeming a little unhappy.

Su Lingyue was very touched by Xiao Yu's concern. She responded softly, "Okay, if I want to come, I will definitely come with the prince first."

Xiao Yu curled his lips lightly, pinched the slender and soft fingers in his hand, and took Su Lingyue back to Furong Pavilion.
