Chapter 412 He Dare to Leave
After finally waiting until dawn, Ye Jiayao couldn't wait to go look for Chunfeng, but Xiaoya said that Chunfeng had gone out in the middle of the night.

Well, she knew that everyone was busy. A chaos had just ended and there was a lot of mess to clean up, but Chunyu had to at least send her a message. I wonder if she would be worried?

Watching the Second Young Madam leave with a worried look on her face, Xiaoya had a complicated expression. She opened her mouth several times wanting to call her out and tell her something, but thinking of Chunfeng's warning, she had to hold back.

Ye Jiayao returned to her yard and called Song Qi over, asking him to inquire about Chunyu's situation.

Song Qi was gone for a long time before coming back reluctantly.

"Tell me, where is the young master?" Ye Jiayao looked at his bitter face and was almost angry.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Ye Jiayao's eyebrows were raised, and she was furious.

Song Qi really didn't know how to open his mouth. The condition of the prince was too bad. What if the second young lady got anxious and had a miscarriage? But if he didn't say anything, the second young lady would also have a miscarriage.

He could only say weakly, "The prince was injured last night while arresting Prince Yu."

What do you mean by a little injured? Chunfeng had said before that Chunyu was injured. Prince Yu was now in a desperate struggle. She could imagine how dangerous it was to arrest Prince Yu even with her toes.

Therefore, it is definitely not just a minor injury, but a serious injury. Otherwise, how could Song Qi have such a sad face?
Ye Jiayao took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She couldn't get angry because she was pregnant.

After a few breaths, Ye Jiayao adjusted her mentality and asked calmly, "Where is the prince now?"

"In...in the palace, the imperial physician is treating his injuries." Song Qi had no choice but to report the truth.

Ye Jiayao was silent, and the room was dead silent. Qiao Xi and the others didn't dare to breathe, as they were also worried about the Young Master.

"Qiao Xi, help me change my clothes. I want to go to the palace."

"Second Young Madam..." Song Qi tried to stop him in a hurry. If the Second Young Madam saw the Crown Prince in this state, she would be frightened to faint. Prince Helian said that he would tell the Second Young Madam after the Crown Prince woke up.

"Don't say anything and go prepare the carriage." Ye Jiayao said solemnly. Instead of worrying here, it would be better for her to go to Chunyu. He was injured and that was the time when he needed her the most. She would take care of him and cheer him up. If his injury was not serious, then she would be relieved. If he was seriously injured and could not be cured, then at least she could stay with him for a while longer, so that she would not be unable to see him for the last time.

Ye Jiayao had to prepare for the worst. Now was not the time to cry, and she certainly could not break down.

Xiang Tao desperately winked at Song Qi, meaning, why don't you go quickly?

Song Qi sighed helplessly and retreated.

The palace gate was heavily guarded, and many officials who wanted to enter the palace to find out what was going on were blocked outside. However, as soon as Ye Jiayao revealed her identity, the guards immediately let them in.

Under the guidance of Song Qi, Ye Jiayao went straight to the Prince's Eastern Palace.

Helian Xuan and the prince were discussing matters when they heard a servant report that the second young lady from the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion had arrived.

Helian Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'll go see my sister-in-law."

The prince nodded in agreement.

Xia Chunyu played an indispensable role in the defense of the palace, and captured Prince Yu alive, which can be said to be the greatest merit. Unfortunately, he suffered multiple injuries and his condition was serious. He has ordered the imperial doctors to treat him with all their strength, but he has not woken up yet.

Alas... he didn't know how to explain to Ye Jinxuan.

Ye Jiayao was stopped outside the door by an imperial physician.

"Madam, the prince is still in a coma and should not be disturbed. Please wait patiently." The imperial physician advised.

Ye Jiayao really wanted to kick the old imperial physician away. What did it mean to wait patiently? Could she still be patient? Chunyu was lying inside, his life or death uncertain. She just wanted to go in and take a look, not to do anything else.

But this is the Eastern Palace after all, and Chunyu's illness still requires the best efforts of the imperial doctors. Ye Jiayao had to patiently say, "I'll go in and see him. I promise not to disturb him or interfere with your treatment."

The imperial physician was hesitant. He had seen too many families of patients who had promised that nothing would happen, but once they saw the patient, they became emotional and cried loudly. The one inside was seriously injured. His shoulder was pierced by a sword, and his chest and back were cut by a knife with deep cuts. Other places were also covered with scars...

"Let her in!" A voice like a sigh sounded.

Ye Jiayao turned around in surprise. It was Helian Xuan.

But Helian Xuan was still wearing his armor, with a white bandage on his arm, and his eye sockets were sunken and bloodshot, and he looked extremely tired. "Brother..." Ye Jiayao knelt down and saluted.

Helian Xuan smiled bitterly and waved his uninjured hand: "Sister-in-law, there is no need to be polite. Chunyu was seriously injured, but I know he can survive. This kid is very tough. What's more, he has you. He won't be willing to leave."

Ye Jiayao tried hard to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eyes. Even Helian Xuan said that he was seriously injured, so the situation was definitely not optimistic.

Ye Jiayao forced a smile and said, "Just try if he dares to leave."

She couldn't blame him for fighting so hard, it was his duty. So many people died last night, those people had parents, wives and children, but they still died bravely. They were all heroes. She respected heroes and she was proud of Chunyu, but if he dared to die and abandon her, then she would not forgive him even if she chased him to the underworld.

Such a calm but threatening and resolute word made Helian Xuan feel bitter. This seemingly weak woman was much tougher than he expected. She didn't have Naya's martial arts, but her courage and bravery were definitely not inferior to Naya's.

Helian Xuan sneered: "Yes, if he dares to be cowardly, we will not let him go."

Prince Helian had spoken, and the imperial physician could no longer stop him, so he stepped aside.

As soon as Ye Jiayao entered the room, she smelled a strong smell of blood, which stimulated her stomach to twitch. But when she thought that the smell of blood came from Chunyu, her heart was clenched.

He walked quickly to the bed and saw Chunyu's eyes were closed and his face was pale. He carefully lifted the blanket and saw that he was wrapped in bandages all over his body with blood stains on the bandages.

Ye Jiayao covered her mouth to stop herself from crying, but she couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they fell drop by drop.

The imperial physician explained: "The prince's wounds have been treated, but he is currently unconscious due to excessive blood loss and exhaustion..."

Ye Jiayao wiped away her tears and said softly, "Imperial Physician, tell me the truth, is his injury life-threatening?"

After careful consideration, the imperial physician said, "It's hard to say, but the prince has a strong constitution, so the possibility of him waking up is relatively high!"

Ye Jiayao nodded: "Can I stay alone with him for a while?"

Seeing that she was still able to control herself, the imperial physician sighed silently, then turned and left.

He was covered in wounds. Ye Jiayao didn't dare to touch him. She just gently stroked his sleeping face, sniffed, and choked, "Chun Yu, can you hear me? I am Yaoyao, your Yaoyao..."

"I waited for you at home all night, but you didn't come back, so I had to come to find you. I was so worried about you that I couldn't sleep. But fortunately, our children are sensible and didn't make much noise."

"Let me tell you something. The night before yesterday, I felt our child moving. It was a very strange feeling. It was the first time I could truly feel his presence. Look, he's moving again now. Hurry up and wake up. Feel him..."

But the person on the bed didn't react at all.

Ye Jiayao's tears fell like beads from a broken string, and she tried to maintain a calm tone as she continued to talk to him.

"Mother said that when you were in his belly, you moved around at about this time, and you gave birth to a naughty kid. She said that you were so naughty when you were a kid that both humans and gods hated you. If our child is as naughty as you, I can't handle it alone. So, you have to wake up soon. You said that you would teach him to read, to teach him martial arts, and to train him to be a man who can stand tall and proud, and who will surpass his father. If you don't wake up, then I can only teach him to cook, and he will be a chef in the future. You know that this is all I can do..."

"Chun Yu, I know you can hear me, and you know how sad I am. You have already abandoned me once, and you swore that you would never abandon me again. Just before leaving for the farm, you promised me that you would come to pick me up in person and take care of yourself. In the end, you broke your promise... I don't blame you for not coming to pick me up. You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, your family, your country, and the world. But now that the storm has settled, you should come back to me."

"I'm not as strong as you think. I'm strong because I know you're by my side. You said that no matter what happens, you'll be there for me. Even if the sky falls, you'll be there for me. So, I'm not afraid of anything as long as you're by my side."

"But I'm scared now, very scared, scared to death. Actually, I'm a coward. I'm panicking now. I'm at a loss. Watching you get hurt, I can't do anything. You don't know how bad this feeling is. Chunyu, you're too cruel. How could you do this to me..."

Ye Jiayao couldn't continue speaking. She leaned over the edge of the bed and cried silently, her heart aching as if it was being cut by a blunt knife.

Qiao Xi couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she covered her mouth and ran outside to cry.

Ye Jiayao said harshly with her head down: "Chun Yu, if you dare to abandon me like this, when the child is born, I will let him become an orphan without a father or a mother. I mean what I say. If you don't believe me, try it. I can't live without you..."

Tears flowed even more violently. Chunyu, please wake up and stop scaring me, okay?
"You woman, you're so noisy. I can't even sleep peacefully."

An unusually hoarse voice sounded weakly in Ye Jiayao's ears.

Ye Jiayao was still immersed in sorrow and couldn't extricate herself. She sobbed, "I'm almost crying to death, and you still think I'm noisy..."

Uh...this sound?
