Chapter 281: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 24
As the Queen Mother spoke, she turned her head to look at Yu Yao lying on the bed. She recognized her and asked in confusion, "How could she be injured with you?"
Xuanyuan Cheng did not hide anything and briefly recounted the whole process, "Today, I took her to the suburbs to race horses. On the way back, she was attacked. In order to save me, she blocked an arrow."
The Queen Mother was slightly startled, her eyes fell on Yu Yao again, her expression softened a little, "She is a good child. How is she now?"
The imperial physician stepped forward at the right time, bowed and said respectfully: "Empress Dowager, the injuries of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and Concubine Yu have stabilized, but Concubine Yu is pregnant and it is difficult for her to take medicine. We are currently preparing a suitable prescription."
The Queen Mother looked slightly surprised and looked at the doctor, "What did you say? She is pregnant? How many months?"
She's pregnant but still goes to shield Cheng'er from arrows. Are there such stupid women in the world?
Could it be that she didn't even know she was pregnant?
The imperial physician bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, according to my humble diagnosis, Concubine Yu has been pregnant for nearly two months."
"Nearly two months? Is the baby in her belly okay?"
The Queen Mother asked nervously again.
This is her grandson and Cheng'er's first child. Even though he is born out of wedlock, she can't help but show more concern for him.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Concubine Yu is carrying a healthy baby. It's just that she has had a miscarriage and it's difficult to take medicine because of her injuries. I will prescribe a proper prescription and she will just need to return home and take good care of herself for a while."
The imperial physician said respectfully again.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, looking much more relaxed. "I'll leave this matter to you. You must prescribe a proper prescription and make sure it does not affect the fetus in her belly. Also, tell the people around her about various precautions."
The imperial physician nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am preparing the prescription and will inform the maids and the female doctor around Concubine Yu later, asking them to serve her well."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions.
She looked towards Xuanyuan Cheng, and seeing her son covered in blood and bandages, she felt extremely distressed.
"Cheng'er, look at you like this, it really breaks my heart. As the God of War of Jing State, your every move concerns the foundation of the country. Why don't you bring more guards with you when you go out? If anything happens to you, how can I live! Do you know who the thief who sneak attacked is?"
Xuanyuan Cheng looked at the Queen Mother, wanting to say that it should be someone from the Western Regions Royal Court, but thinking that Yao'er was also from the Western Regions, he was afraid that his mother would have some misunderstanding about Yao'er, so he swallowed the words.
“It’s still under investigation.”
He lowered his eyes and spoke calmly.
The Queen Mother heard that the investigation was still ongoing and didn't say anything.
But when he thought about how his son had suffered so much and almost lost his life, he became extremely angry.
She started cursing without caring about her image.
"Damn those thieves, they were so bold as to hurt my son. If I could find out who was behind this, I would cut them into pieces!"
She looked extremely angry. She took Xuanyuan Cheng's hand and patted it gently, full of love and care. "Cheng'er, you are the pride of mother and the pillar of Jing country. You must take care of yourself and don't let mother worry all day long."
"It's my fault. I made you worry."
Xuanyuan Cheng looked at the Queen Mother's worried eyes, and his expression was somewhat guilty.
He also knew that his mother really loved him.
The Queen Mother sighed, "Silly child, we are mother and son, why are you saying such polite words? You must be more careful in the future and don't take risks like this again."
After saying this, he took the palace maid's hand and left the Imperial Hospital.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."
Seeing the Queen Mother leave, everyone in the Imperial Hospital knelt on the ground.
Only when the Queen Mother disappeared did everyone stand up.
The imperial physician quickly wrote out a mild prescription that would not harm the fetus, and every ingredient in the prescription had been carefully considered.
The imperial physician walked up to Xuanyuan Cheng and warned him seriously, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, you must be very careful with Concubine Yu's pregnancy. You must eat a light diet and avoid spicy or greasy foods. You must rest in bed more often and avoid overwork."
He seemed afraid that the King of Qin would not remember and might not care about such a trivial matter, so he called another female doctor, repeated the instructions to her, and asked her to follow him back to the King of Qin's Palace to be responsible for taking care of Concubine Yu's fetus.
Xuanyuan Cheng wrote down what the imperial physician said and took Yu Yao away from the Imperial Hospital.
Following behind them were Dongfeng and Nanfeng, both wrapped in bandages, and a female doctor carrying a medicine box.
Dongfeng and Nanfeng were also injured, and their injuries were much more serious than Xuanyuan Cheng.
But it has been treated and bandaged, so it's not a big deal.
The sun shone on the stone slabs of the palace road, creating a golden halo. The guards on both sides of the palace road bowed their heads respectfully, and the breeze blew gently, blowing the corners of Xuanyuan Cheng's clothes, and the blood stains on the corners of the clothes looked particularly glaring.
The group left the palace and boarded the carriage back to the Prince of Qin's Palace.
The wheels rolled and the horses' hooves sounded urgent, as if they wanted to leave this tense atmosphere behind.
Inside the carriage, Yu Yao leaned in Xuanyuan Cheng's arms, her face as pale as paper, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, like dewdrops on lotus leaves in the morning.
Xuanyuan Cheng hugged her tightly, his eyes were full of heartache, and he comforted her softly: "Yao'er, we will be home soon."
Yu Yao smiled weakly: "My Lord, it's okay for me, as long as you are okay."
Xuanyuan Cheng rubbed her face lovingly and let her lean on his arms to feel more comfortable.
The carriage sped all the way back to the Prince of Qin's Palace. It was already night and the lights were on.
The group walked through the long corridor of the mansion gate and went straight to the backyard - Mingxi Garden.
Xiangling and Xiangju were so shocked to see their master being carried back by the prince, not only looking extremely embarrassed but also wrapped in bandages, that the things in their hands dropped to the ground.
Xiangling's eyes widened, she hurried forward, and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xiangju also ran forward in panic, at a loss: "Oh my God, how did the concubine get injured?"
Dongfeng looked at the two of them and explained, "We were attacked on the way back to the city. Concubine Yu was injured while blocking an arrow for the prince. The imperial physician has examined her. You should take good care of her. If you have any questions, ask the female doctor."
"By the way, Concubine Yu is pregnant, you guys should be careful."
Dongfeng thought of something and added a sentence.
Xiangling and Xiangju were stunned. Their mistress was shielding the prince from an arrow? And she was pregnant?
The master loves the prince so much that he doesn't even care about himself and his children?
The maids and servants in the entire Mingxi Courtyard were in a panic, some fetching water, some making the bed, some serving...
With the help of Xiangling and Xiangju, Yu Yao changed into a clean set of clothes, and the bloody clothes she had on were directly burned.
After a simple meal of porridge and side dishes, he lay down on the bed to rest.
Xuanyuan Cheng changed into a set of clean clothes.
He walked to the bed, tucked in the quilt for her, and comforted her softly: "Have a good rest. When you are well, I will take you to Yangzhou for a walk."
Yu Yao nodded gently: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take good care of my injuries. Don't worry."
Xuanyuan Cheng smiled and kissed her forehead, saying lovingly, "Be good, take a nap, I will be here with you."
"it is good."
Yu Yao had slept for so long that she was not sleepy at the moment, but after Xuanyuan Cheng said so, she closed her eyes obediently.
She really needs more rest now.
Xuanyuan Cheng sat beside the bed for a while, and when he saw that she had fallen asleep, he got up and went to the front yard.
There are several tall sycamore trees planted in the front yard, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows.
The bluestone bricks on the ground are clean and tidy, and the flower beds on the side are full of colorful flowers.
Xuanyuan Cheng looked at Dongfeng and Nanfeng who were following behind him, "You should also go back and recover from your injuries. We were attacked this time thanks to you guys who risked your lives to protect us."
Dong Feng bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Master, it is my duty to protect you. I only regret that I failed to detect the danger in advance and caused you and the concubine to get hurt."
Nan Feng also said: "Master, take good care of your injuries. I will take my leave first."
The two men quickly turned around and retreated.
Upon hearing that their master was injured, West Wind and North Wind hurried over with serious expressions.
Xifeng clasped his fists and saluted: "Master, I heard that you were attacked and injured on the road. Are you okay?"
Bei Feng's forehead was still covered with beads of sweat, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Master, who is so bold? Dare to attack the master, wait and see how I tear these bastards apart."
Xuanyuan Cheng glanced at the two of them, his face darkened, but he did not hide anything, and said in a cold voice: "From the accent, it sounds like they are from the Western Regions, and the methods are also very similar. The leader of the Western Regions Royal Court, Burto, is ambitious and has been ready to make a move. I suspect that he was the one who planned this operation, so you should focus on investigating there."
Xifeng heard this, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and he roared angrily: "Master, rest assured, I will investigate thoroughly. If it is really these wolf cubs, I will kill them at the Western Region King's Court and make them pay the price!"
Bei Feng clenched his fists, veins popping out: "Master, rest assured, we will investigate carefully and will never let these bastards go."
Xuanyuan Cheng nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, everyone leave now."
He waved to the two of them and went into the house to rest.
