shed.

He had sworn a long time ago that he would never shed a single tear for that man again.That bastard actually disappeared for five full years without saying goodbye to him, but now he came back suddenly, and said such confusing things, what is it?Is it to see him joke?

Thinking about it, he could no longer restrain the loneliness and bitterness in his heart.

That night, he cried all night.

It wasn't until the next morning when Bao Rong went to the Prince's Hall to visit him as usual, that he realized that the man was blushing and murmured nonsense.

Stretching out his hand to touch it, he realized that his head was surprisingly hot.He hurriedly sent someone to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor, and then ordered someone to pour a basin of cold water, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a wet cloth over and over again.

Just when he bent over to wash the cloth towel again, he suddenly found a red mark on the lower left side of his neck near his shoulder. Bao Rong recognized it as a hickey at a glance, and felt his heart stop beating immediately. , Gently lifted the quilt, only to find that not only the neck, chest and lower abdomen, but even the thighs of the lower body still had slightly dried blood.

God!What exactly is going on?

While he was in a trance, suddenly his father-in-law's sharp voice came from outside the hall.

"The servant kowtows to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live—"

"Okay, get up!" There was a trace of urgency in Xiao Yan's deep voice, he rushed into the inner hall with strides, and saw Bao Rong hurriedly tucking the quilt for Ji Ran.

"Your Majesty—" Bao Rong stood up and knelt down towards Xiao Yan in panic. Since he was followed by several father-in-laws and maids, these courtesies were indispensable.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan frowned with displeasure, then waved his hands, "You guys step back first!"

After the group of attendants left, Xiao Yan stepped forward and helped Bao Rong himself.

"There are no outsiders here, get up! How is Ran'er? As soon as I went to the court, I saw the father-in-law from the Prince's Hall and the court from the Tai'er Hospital."

He ran in the direction, and after asking, he found out that he was unwell, so he rushed over in a hurry.How is he now? "

Xiao Yan said, and rushed towards the bed.

Bao Rong ran forward a few steps, stretched out his hand to stop him, and tried to make his voice less tense, "No, it's nothing, maybe it's because of the wind and cold, and my head is a little hot, it's nothing."

Xiao Yan didn't speak, but just stared at Baorong, as if trying to see through him.

"It's really nothing. I'll take care of Ran'er. You'd better go back first and have a good rest!"

"You—are you hiding something from me?"

After a long time, Xiao Yan asked.

"Is something wrong?" Bao Rong tried his best to relax himself, and then tried to pull out a soft smile, "Why? What can I do!"

Having said this, Bao Rong turned his head slightly, avoiding Xiao Yan's questioning eyes.

"You're lying!" Xiao Yan bypassed Bao Rong, strode to the bedside, reached out to touch Ji Ran's forehead, then frowned,

"It's so hot, why do you still say it's okay!"

"I must have caught a cold last night, that's why I'm burning so badly today!" Bao Rong hurried forward, laying in front of Xiao Yan,

"But you don't have to worry, Your Majesty, Bao Rong will take care of you here and nothing will happen."

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, fixed his eyes, and carefully considered Bao Rong's efforts to hide his frightened face. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth, "Why do you suddenly use such an unfamiliar name?"

"Unfamiliar?" Bao Rong didn't know what was wrong with him, the word "Emperor" came out quickly, he stared at Xiao Yan in a daze, and just about to explain, Xiao Yan's sharp words hit his head again.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"Me?" Baorong smiled disapprovingly, "How could it be! You must be overwhelmed."

Xiao Yan said nothing, but he had doubts in his heart.What happened to him today, why did he become so abnormal.If according to his usual temperament, he had just severely reprimanded Ran'er yesterday, he would definitely beg him to stay, and then take good care of Ran'er, and it is very reasonable to say that this is for the relationship between father and son.

But now, he was afraid that he would stay here, and tried to get him to leave.

"Since Rong'er has said everything, I'll leave first." Xiao Yan gave him a fake smile, then turned and left.

Bao Rong watched him leave with his own eyes, and heard the sound of the palace door closing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around, lifted the quilt lightly, looked at the sheet with big blood flowers blooming in distress and anxiety, and wanted to reach out to tear off the sheet, but he was afraid of hurting him.

"What exactly is going on?"

Suddenly there was a thunderous roar from behind, Bao Rong was so frightened that he trembled all over, and when he turned around, he saw a bright yellow robe intruding into his sight.

Isn't he gone?Why now-

"Ran'er?" Xiao Yan's face turned ashen, and he walked quickly to the bed, his resolute brows could no longer contain the anger, and asked sharply, "What's going on? How did Ran'er become like this? "

While speaking, Xiao Yan made up his mind and tore off the sheet wrapped around Ji Ran's body with moderate strength and speed with his fingertips. When he saw the dark red blood spot on the shoulder socket, he suddenly clenched his fists.

"I, I don't know either." Bao Rong shook his head in a panic.

"You don't know?" Xiao Yan asked, but didn't look back.

"Your Majesty!" Bao Rong fell to his knees with a plop, "Bao Rong really doesn't know anything. This morning, Bao Rong came to see the crown prince, but as soon as he came in, he saw his face blushing, and then he lifted his face. Quilt, only to find—"

Xiao Yan turned around, looked at Bao Rong who was kneeling in a panic, a trace of guilt and deep self-blame appeared in his eyes, and his tone suddenly eased.

He got up and supported Bao Rong's arm, "I'm sorry, I was too impatient just now, and I spoke a little bit more seriously, and it wasn't intentional. You too, kneel down at every turn, and often call the emperor on the left and the emperor on the right, telling you How many times has it been done, when there are only two of us, there is no distinction between monarch and minister, you just don't change."

"I don't want to talk about it now, when did the imperial physician announce it, why hasn't it come yet?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Bao Rong naturally felt warm in his heart, but when he thought that Ran'er had suffered such injuries for no reason, he hurriedly said: "How about I send someone to remind me?"

"Yeah! That's fine! But, you stay here with Ran'er, I'll go!"

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he got up and rushed towards the outer hall.

As soon as he left, Bao Rong seemed to have thought of something, his breathing stopped suddenly, and a biting chill appeared all over his body.Could it be that Yang Yitian did it!In the past ten years, he could see that Yang Yitian had a deep love for Ran'er. Although Ran'er's temperament had changed drastically since Ran'er was established as the crown prince, Bao Rong could tell that deep down in that dissolute and frivolous heart, It is full of strong affection for Ji Ran.Therefore, even after the man was absolutely kicked out of the house by his father, he still kept in touch with the man on letterheads, and told him as much as possible about Ji Ran's situation in the palace, and the reason why Yang Yitian entered the palace this time was because It was also secretly informed by Baorong.

wrong!Yang Yitian would never do such a thing!But if it wasn't him, who would it be?Could it be that Ji Ran voluntarily indulged himself because he was angry?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Hurry up!" Soon, Xiao Yan's voice came from behind.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Not long after, an old man with white beard and hair rushed into the inner hall at the same pace. Baorong saw him and got up to make way for the imperial physician so that he could diagnose and treat him.

Before the imperial doctor had time to put down the medicine box on his shoulder, he was so startled by the prince's blue and purple scars that he didn't make a sound for a long time.

"What are you still standing there for, why don't you show your wounds to the prince?" Xiao Yan's cold voice was mixed with a hint of urgency.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The imperial physician came back to his senses, shiveringly put the medicine box beside the bed, sat down by the bed and started to feel Ji Ran's pulse.

Seeing the imperial physician's brows getting tighter and tighter, Bao Rong couldn't hold back his temper, and hurriedly asked, "How is the crown prince?"

"This──" the imperial physician faltered, struggling to pronounce the words.

"What is this, how is the prince's body?" This time it was Xiao Yan who asked the question.

"Back to the emperor──" the imperial physician hurriedly got up and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "The prince's pulse condition is disordered, his vital energy is weak, and the treatment of the wound has been delayed, which is why the high fever is not going away. But the emperor and Mr. Shao Fu, please rest assured, the prince. It's not life-threatening, it's just—"

"Just what?" Xiao Yan's face became extremely ugly.

"Excuse me, old minister, although I didn't check the wound on the crown prince's lower body, judging from the blood stains hanging between the thighs, it must be—" After saying this, the old doctor paused, and then continued, "It must have been forced to have sex As a result, it was torn there, and the wound on the shoulder socket was obviously stabbed by someone with a sharp weapon. According to the humble opinion of the veteran, it should be an object such as a jade hairpin. Although the wound on the shoulder was inflamed, it was only a flesh wound. Injury, but it takes some effort."

"Take some effort? What do you mean?"

"The wounds on the body are easy to heal, but the wounds in the heart, the old minister is helpless."

Xiao Yan looked at Ji Ran, the worry in his eyes was no longer concealed, he was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Understood, you should heal the wound first!"

When the old imperial doctor put the medicine on Ji Ran's body, Bao Rong held his hand tightly, and heard the faint moans overflowing from his mouth, needless to say the pain in his heart, he only hated that it was not him who was lying on the bed.

It was already noon when the wound was treated.

When the imperial doctor was about to leave, Xiao Yan sternly ordered him not to tell others what he saw today, and if anyone had any questions, just say that the crown prince had caught a cold and felt a little unwell, it was nothing serious.

After the prince left, Bao Rong and Xiao Yan simply used the
