Chapter 492 Crisis
"Prince, are you okay?" Zhang Zhi asked, dragging his bleeding arm to Zhao Guangyuan.

"It's okay." Zhao Guangyuan glanced at his arm and didn't care.

But the fact that their master was injured still scared Zhang Zhi and others half to death. They hurriedly helped him sit down against a tree and bandaged him in a hurry.

The blood flowed down Zhao Guangyuan's forearm to his wrist and to the back of his palm. He just glanced at it indifferently.

"Your Highness, please bear with it." A guard said, rolled up his sleeves, quickly sprinkled a handful of hemostatic powder on the hideous knife wound, disinfected it, and bandaged it.

When everyone saw that the bleeding stopped quickly, they were all amazed.

I don't know where the prince got these good medicines. They are so effective in stopping bleeding. If it weren't for these good medicines, I'm afraid many more people would have died.

After the wound was bandaged, Zhao Guangyuan just casually wiped the blood off the back of his hand, as if he was used to these minor injuries.

He told everyone to bandage their wounds. "Don't worry about me, it's fine." He glanced at the guards who were bandaging their wounds, "Just use the medicine, don't save it. I've already sent a letter to the princess, asking her to send it here."

Zhang Zhi bandaged the wound with a grin on his face, muttering, "Just let Jiang Changshi prepare it. Why bother letting the princess worry?"

Zhao Guangyuan glanced at him and said nothing. Jiang Wentao could certainly get the best medicine in Daqi, but it was not as effective as the medicine Xiaer got.

However, no matter how good the medicine is, it cannot save the lives of our dead brothers.

Thinking that eleven more people had died on this trip, Zhao Guangyuan felt extremely sad.

"Your Majesty?"

Zhao Guangyuan closed his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes. He would definitely discuss this with the prince!
"More of the prince's men died than ours." Zhang Zhi tried to comfort him.

"Yes, the prince underestimated our strength." Seeing that the prince was frowning, everyone spoke to comfort him.

In fact, everyone knew that although they had made full preparations, the prince's offensive became more and more fierce, with each wave more desperate than the last, and each wave had more people than the last.

The prince deliberately didn't want them to return to the capital.

The prince cared more about the lives of his brothers, so in the previous times when the East Palace secret guards launched desperate attacks, they suffered heavy casualties.

Your Highness, maybe you just can’t get over this mental hurdle. Your Highness doesn’t want anyone to die on their side.

"Your Majesty, our people are not weaker than them. They are more suitable for fighting alone, while our people are more suitable for fighting together, which gives them an advantage over them."

After the prince's deployment, they used military tactics to disperse and encircle the East Palace secret guards, with significant results.

Although the secret guards of the Eastern Palace were like cockroaches that could not be killed and came in waves, their manpower also arrived one after another.

The prince probably doesn't have that many people to command.

If we adjust it again, the King of Qin will probably take advantage of it.

Zhao Guangyuan listened to everyone's consolation and said nothing. After everyone had bandaged the wound and dealt with the scene, he only ordered: "Return to Zhutou County."

The affairs in Wanhua County have been settled, and Zhao Guangyuan will return to Zhutou County to settle down for a few days. Even if the emperor does not send an order, he has decided to return to Beijing.

In the capital, the court was discussing the flooding of farmland and people caused by the newly built dams in Luocheng and Linzhao. It was said that the King of Yue acted impulsively and forced the prefect of Linzhao and the magistrate of Zhutou to death, which led to the flooding of farmland and people.

Emperor Zhizheng listened to the discussions of his ministers without responding.

During this time, he did not forget to call Lin Zhaoxia into the palace for questioning. Lin Zhaoxia had received a secret letter from Zhao Guangyuan and had arranged for Changzhi to return to the modern world. Even though he was on summer vacation, he was not allowed to come again. Zhao Guangyuan and she were both worried that the prince would do something unfavorable to Changzhi.

She bought some medicine from the modern world and had it secretly sent out of the capital. She was just instructing the palace to keep a low profile, and she didn't even want to go out. At this moment, the emperor summoned her to the palace.

"Your Majesty, I greet you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health. I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince was also there.

The emperor did not speak, but the prince smiled and told her to stand up. "I heard that something happened in Linguangluo City, and the seventh brother is too busy there to leave. You have to stay in the capital to help him take care of many affairs in the palace."

"Your Highness, you are too kind. The external affairs of the palace are handled by the chief secretary and the stewards. The internal affairs of the palace are my responsibility, so it is not tiring. Besides, husband and wife are one, and I will have to take on more responsibilities when he is away."

"The Princess of Yue is virtuous." The prince praised and turned to look at the emperor.

Emperor Zhizheng nodded, as if confirming the prince's words.

"These past few days, the court has been discussing the King of Yue's improper handling of affairs, which has caused suffering to the people of Linzhao and Luocheng. He is not in the capital, so you should help take care of the internal affairs in the palace and avoid social activities outside."

Lin Zhaoxia frowned. Does this mean that she should not go out?

Why were Linzhao and Luocheng flooded? Didn't the prince's men want to cover up the evidence and pull out the gate and dig the embankment? Why did the emperor not make trouble for the prince, but instead put the blame on her man?
Let his man take the blame?

"Princess Yue, your father is talking to you." The prince reminded.

Lin Zhaoxia hurriedly replied, "Yes, I obey your command." Her thin arms could not twist the thighs, and they were in someone else's territory, so Lin Zhaoxia was very obedient.

The emperor asked a few more questions, asking her how she and Zhao Guangyuan met, when, where, and so on. Lin Zhaoxia knew that the emperor was inquiring about Zhao Guangyuan's substitute, so she answered very cautiously.

The emperor and the prince could not hear anything unusual.

The emperor gave a few more instructions, and Lin Zhaoxia agreed to them all.

Before leaving, the prince suddenly asked the emperor, "The seventh prince is not in the capital, and my mother often complains about how hard the Princess of Yue works. It just so happens that she is going to the palace today, so please ask the imperial physician to check her pulse, so that my mother won't have to worry."

Lin Zhaoxia's heart skipped a beat.

What was the prince trying to do? He asked her a bunch of questions, but when he realized he couldn't hear what she wanted to hear, he wanted to check her pulse?
Take her pulse!

Lin Zhaoxia was so excited that her hair stood on end. The prince wanted to ask the imperial physician to check her pulse!
Zhao Guangyuan often had imperial doctors checking his pulse. He was injured and could not have children. This was the conclusion that every imperial doctor had drawn. But she was not like that! She had given birth to a long-term child!

Lin Zhaoxia had goose bumps all over her body, and she couldn't even rub it off. It was bad!
No matter how she explained, it would not end well. The emperor's sons could not have children, but if the woman he married had been married and had given birth, it was a serious crime. She was afraid she would not be able to leave the palace today!

It would be even worse if she said that she gave birth to the child for the King of Yue.

"Your Majesty, I am not ill. If you need my pulse, I will ask the imperial physician to come to my house after I return home."

"Princess Yue, don't feel burdened. It's just that your father and mother are sympathetic to you and are worried that the King of Yue is not in the capital and no one will take care of you. They are just worried about your health. There is no need to be afraid of seeing a doctor. If there is anything wrong, just ask the imperial physician to help you adjust it."

"No need for that. The King of Yue is not here, and it would be inconvenient for me to check his pulse in the palace. It would be more convenient for me to go back to the palace and ask the imperial physician for help."

The prince laughed, "Father, the Princess of Yue is afraid that the Seventh Prince will blame her."

"Princess Yue has reason to be worried," Emperor Zhizheng glanced at her and ordered Liu Qi who was waiting outside, "Go and ask the imperial physician to check Princess Yue's pulse. Take her to the next room and report back to me when the imperial physician has finished examining her."

"Yes." Liu Qi responded, "Princess Yue, please follow me."

Lin Zhaoxia was stunned.
