Chapter 268 Penalty
"Crown Princess, your wound is not healed yet, it's better to lie down and rest."

Ji Ying hurried over with a cup and fed Ning Jin a glass of water.

"Would the princess want to drink more?"

"No need. Help me up."

If she lay down again, her whole body would be numb.

After finally sitting up, Ning Jin asked, "Where is the prince?"

After waiting for a while, Ning Jin didn't hear the reply, and looked at Ji Ying with a tangled face, suddenly feeling puzzled.

"What's the matter? Isn't the prince here?"

"It's really not there." Ji Ying said slowly.

Seeing how she wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, Ning Jin had a bad feeling. Could it be that something happened to Qi Zhao?

"Even if you don't say it now, I will know later, what happened to the prince?" Ning Jin couldn't help but increase his tone.

Ji Ying has never been good at lying, so under Ning Jin's watchful eyes, she had no choice but to say: "Prince Princess, His Royal Highness has been punished."

Ning Jin: "..."

After listening to what happened when she fell asleep, she didn't speak for a long time.

Qi Zhao was in charge of the autumn hunt this time, so it was naturally Qi Zhao's fault that such a big incident happened.

After returning from yesterday, Qi Zhao was called into the palace.

Although I don't know what the emperor said, but because he punished Qi Zhao to kneel outside the hall overnight, it can be seen how angry he is.

"Eunuch Xiao An said that I won't let the slaves tell you, for fear that you won't be able to recuperate properly." Ji Ying was really afraid that the Crown Princess would rush out impulsively.

"You just said that the crown prince has not come back yet?" Ning Jin asked calmly.

Ji Ying nodded: "Yes."

"Then I'll pick him up."

Speaking of which, Ning Jin lifted the quilt to get out of bed, but was anxiously held down by Ji Ying, "Crown Princess, no, your injury..."

"I'm fine, I can move my legs."

Ning Jin stretched out her leg and shook it, indicating that there was no problem, "Look, I'm already healed."

"But……"

"Don't worry, it's not like I have a broken leg." Ning Jin got up regardless, and when she stood upright firmly, Ji Ying at the side breathed a sigh of relief.

Just packed up and got out of Tinglan Hall, and not far away, I saw someone coming from a distance.

Seeing that Qi Zhao came back safe and sound, Ning Jin finally felt relieved.

He rushed over and shouted, "His Royal Highness?"

"Are you awake? Why don't you take a good rest." Qi Zhao stepped forward to support Ning Jin. From the way she just ran over, it can be seen that her legs are still not healed.

"I'm resting, are you alright?"

She is most concerned about Qi Zhao now, what if the emperor deposed the prince because of this matter?
"It's okay, I was negligent this time, and I should be punished." Qi Zhao said indifferently.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has been punished. He claimed to be sick before, and many things can be avoided.

What surprised him was that Ning Jin would run out to find him.

"Does your leg still hurt?" Qi Zhao looked at Ning Jin's leg and asked.

Ning Jin opened his eyes and said nonsense, "It doesn't hurt!"

"Why do you stand on tiptoe if it doesn't hurt?"

Ning Jin: "..."

After being exposed, Ning Jin said helplessly, "It hurts a little, but it's okay."

Compared to Qi Zhao kneeling all night, I am afraid it will hurt more than her.

"Don't worry, go back and rest." Qi Zhao took Ning Jin's hand and said, "Do I need to hug you?"

"No, I can go."

The wound on her leg has been checked, but it is just a scratch, but the area is a little big, and it looks a little scary.

The two returned to Tinglan Palace and watched Qi Zhao change her medicine.

Ning Jin asked, "Does His Highness have any clues?"

"Not yet, but I can be sure that those people are targeting Gu and you."

No one else was ambushed, only Ning Jin met him.

What's more, those people deliberately lured Ning Jin into the woods.

"Is it possible that the mastermind behind the scenes is the same person?"
