Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 360
After the appointment of the imperial physician, Xiao Yichen personally got Zhao Min into the carriage according to his instructions.

After everyone returned to the General's Mansion together, Xiao Mo couldn't wait to go back to her own yard. Seeing a group of people rushing up to Zhao Min's yard, she couldn't help but sneered.

It's better to never wake up!
After placing Zhao Min on the bed, Xiao Yichen stepped aside.

Princess Nine stepped forward, sat by the bed, looked at her pale face, stretched out her hand, wanting to touch her face, but stopped halfway, retracted her hand, clenched into a fist, Then, without saying a word, he rushed out.

Wang Zi was afraid that she would do something impulsive, so he quickly grabbed her: "Xiao Jiu, what are you going to do?"

But Princess Jiu brushed Wang Zimo's hand away: "I'm going to send someone to catch this assassin, who dared to hurt Min'er in broad daylight, I must make him unable to eat!"

Wang Zimo knew that the Ninth Princess needed an outlet to vent her emotions. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with what she did, she didn't stop her again, but she was worried after all: "Go, I'll go with you!"

"Yeah!" The ninth princess looked at her and nodded, and the two left in a hurry.

"Okay, Chen'er, you can leave first, it's good for mother to stay here with Min'er."

After all, Xiao Yichen is a man, so it's not convenient to stay here, so he might as well check the clues of this assassin.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yichen nodded and left.

At this moment, there was no outsider in the room, so Nanny Gu went to the door and closed it, returned to the bed, and called softly: "Princess."

At this time, Zhao Min slowly opened his eyes, smiled, and gave everyone a comforting look.

Looking at Zhao Min at this moment, Jiang Yanran's heart was full of mixed feelings, and there were countless things to say in her heart, but she just sighed: "When do you plan to leave?"

Zhao Min straightened his expression and remembered his current situation: "Three days later."

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yanran nodded lightly, expressing her agreement with her approach: "Don't be impatient about this matter, and definitely don't leave now."

"Godmother, I know."

This matter must not be concealed, it will definitely reach the ears of the emperor, and the emperor will definitely send someone to find out whether it is true or not, Zhao Min still needs to deal with the people in the palace before he can leave.

"Father, you must bring that nasty assassin to justice!"

After listening to Princess Nine's complaint, the emperor did not immediately agree to Princess Nine's request. Instead, he repeatedly confirmed with her: "How is Princess Ling's injury? Is it really that serious?"

Seeing that the emperor was still struggling with Zhao Min's injury, the nine princesses stamped their feet anxiously, and walked to his side: "Father, my daughter saw it with her own eyes, can it be true? The arrow went straight into the chest of the adopter. At that time Blood splattered on the spot..."

As she spoke, Princess Jiu began to cry again. When she thought of the scene at that time, she was extremely sad.

The emperor has always loved Princess Jiu, and seeing her so sad, he quickly stood up and patted her hand: "Ji'er, don't be sad, the emperor will definitely bring the murderer who assassinated Princess Ling to justice, and give Princess Ling justice."

"This is just one of them!" Princess Jiu was still not satisfied with the emperor's execution, "Father, even the Imperial Physician Shang is not sure that he can cure Princess Ling's illness, what should I do?"

This is what the Ninth Princess is really worried about. It is important to find the murderer who assassinated Zhao Min, but the most important thing right now is to heal Zhao Min's injury.

"Jiu'er..." the emperor looked at her earnestly, "You should believe in the medical skills of the Imperial Physician Shang. If the Imperial Physician Shang is powerless, then who can heal well? Leave everything to the Imperial Physician Shang, he will do his best .”

Princess Jiu knew the reasoning was so, but she couldn't help worrying in her heart. What if the doctor Shang didn't study the poison thoroughly in the end, what should I do then?
Thinking of this, Princess Jiu had nowhere to vent her irritability, and she couldn't get angry at the emperor, so she immediately got up and said goodbye, vowing to catch the assassin with her own hands.

Seeing the figure of the nine princesses leaving in a hurry, the emperor lowered his expression. When he learned that Princess Ling was injured, the first thing that came to his mind was the prince.

It's just that the prince didn't arrive in the imperial city until a few days later, could it be... the princess?

After all, last time in front of so many people, it was not impossible for the Crown Princess to lose out and harbor resentment in her heart.

It's just that no matter who is behind the scenes, the emperor will not try his best to investigate the case. After all, to him, he doesn't care so much about whether Princess Ling is dead or alive, and he is afraid that there may be fraud in it.

It seems that someone has to find out whether this matter is true or not. Thinking of this, the first person that came to mind of the emperor went to the queen and got up immediately.

"The Emperor is here—"

Following Eunuch Li's sharp voice, the queen who was looking at the chessboard was taken aback.

This was the first time since the incident with Zhao Min that the emperor came to his palace on his own initiative. The queen immediately took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and walked out.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw the emperor coming in, and the queen hurriedly blessed him: "The concubine sees the emperor."

The emperor quickly stepped forward to hold the queen's arm with both hands: "Quickly get up."

The two sat down on the couch together, and the emperor asked hypocritically about the recent status of the queen: "Recently, I have been busy with court affairs, how is the queen?"

The corners of the Queen's mouth were slightly raised, with a calm expression: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and all the concubines are well."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded lightly, and didn't ask any more questions. He didn't want to stay here any longer. He directly cut to the topic: "Concubine Ling was shot by an assassin in Baoxiang Tower today. Does the queen know about this?"

"What?" The queen was stunned. She really didn't know about it. After all, it happened only this morning, and the news hadn't reached her ears yet.

Looking at the queen's expression, the emperor knew it, it didn't seem like it was a show, and she didn't think that the assassin was sent by her.

"Now King Ling is leading troops to fight outside, and Princess Ling is staying in the imperial city, but now she is at the foot of the emperor. What happened, if I don't investigate this matter thoroughly, I'm afraid that Ling Qing will come back, and I won't be able to explain to him!"

The emperor showed a sad expression on his face, sighed deeply, and then turned his gaze to the queen opposite.

"The queen will go to the general's mansion tomorrow to condolences to Princess Ling. Although doing so is against your status as a queen, it can also show the greatness of my emperor's grace."

The emperor paused for a moment, and then gave the empress a meaningful look: "Cai Jiu'er said just now that Princess Ling is seriously injured, I don't know if it is true or not."

After hearing this, the queen still didn't understand the real meaning of the emperor asking her to go to see Princess Ling in the general's mansion, she immediately nodded slightly: "Don't worry, the emperor, the concubine will go to the general's mansion tomorrow."
