The light suddenly flickered violently as clamorous noises came from outside. Song Xiangran pinched the center of his brows and turned his head to look outside the door. He muttered to himself as he prepared to close the book and get up.

"Fourth brother, there's light here." The young voice was slightly out of breath, but it still sounded confident.

"Let's go in." The middle-aged man's voice was low and steady, simple to the point that it was close to an order, unable to be refuted.

Song Xiangran closed the medical skill in his hand and was about to stand up.

Before he could stand up, the wooden door was pushed open with a force that could not be considered gentle. Although he already had a guess as to the identity of this person, such a rough action still caused Song Xiangran to frown unhappily. When he saw who it was, he bowed slightly to cover up his displeasure. "Your Highness."

The Qi King looked to the side at the clean and tidy bed, hesitating for a moment, "Can you place him on your bed?"

Song Xiangran immediately moved to make way for him. "Your Highness, please do as you wish."

Prince Huan quickly walked to the side of the bed and gently put Zhao Qingyan down. He casually pulled the quilt over his body and spread it over his body.

After being stunned for a moment, Song Xiangran immediately realized the situation in front of him, "This young prince is Luo … Have you caught a cold? " He didn't dare to say those two sensitive words after falling into the water. Instead, he put it in a more tactful way.

Duke Huan nodded, "Yes, Mo'er, he …"

Thirteenth Brother, follow me out and make some arrangements. The Qi King interrupted him as if nothing had happened, then looked towards the messenger standing not too far away, "Ninth Brother, help me look after him, we'll be back soon."

In the palace, Prince Qi and Prince Huan were in charge of things in the first place, so the messenger king had no objections, "Hmm, Fourth Brother and Thirteenth Brother, hurry up and go. If you need anything later, call me along."

"Yes," the Qi King gave a casual reply, nodded to Thirteenth Brother, and walked out with him.

Most of those who had been transferred here were the guards on duty at the Privy Council tonight. Although there weren't many people, they were all outstanding in martial arts. They were good at observation, and could be investigated in groups of two or three.

"Alright, let's go our separate ways. If there are any findings, we don't need to investigate any further. We'll send someone back to report at once, and then we'll act according to the orders." Prince Huan had pointed out half of the troops, and upon seeing the Qi King nod his head, he gave out his order.

"Yes sir!" As soon as the order was given, everyone immediately turned their heads away.

Duke Huan waved his hand, signalling the rest of the guards to spread out and rest. He turned around and was about to return, but hearing the Qi King's voice, he stopped and turned back.

"Hao, you don't need to follow me in." Qi Wang glanced at Ran Hao, seeing that he was a little startled, he lowered his head and added, "Go find a clean set of clothes and put them on first. No matter how strong your Qi is, you can't bear it."

Ran Hao knew that he had misunderstood the meaning of the Qi King's words. His face turned slightly red and he quickly said: "Many thanks, Royal Highness."

Qi Wang waved his hand. "Go ahead, change your clothes and find a warm place to rest. There's no need to rush over here. If you're sick, I'll have to find someone else to take care of Mo'er. "

Ran Hao answered "Yes" and left.

Watching him leave, Duke Huan suddenly asked, "In terms of inner strength, he is probably not as profound as Mo'er. He's been holding on for so long, don't you want the imperial physician to take a look? "

Prince Qi turned around and walked back into the house. He said lightly, "When the people disperse later, I'll have Song He Ran treat him. It's not convenient right now."

Prince Huan was slightly startled, but soon understood. "Once the imperial physicians have given Mo'er a good pulse, I'll have them go back to the stone bridge and have a look. There's no one left here."

Qi Wang nodded, "Pick a few that won't talk too much and stay."

As the two kings said this, they walked into the room. Before they could inquire further, Song He suddenly stood up. Seeing that, Duke Huan quickly asked: "How is it? "Is it a big deal to the body?"

Song Xiangran shook his head. "He's going to be very sick, but it's not that serious."

The Qi King frowned, "If it's not serious, how serious is it?" In the end, she still felt sorry for her son and said that she would have to trouble Prince Huan. In the end, she still followed along with King Xin.

Song Xiangran considered for a moment before saying, "Your highness also knows that the internal energy that the young prince cultivates is warm in nature and extremely cold in nature. The young prince was affected by Zhu Yan Jian. Although he was afraid of the cold, he had been soaked in cold water for a long time. Compared to ordinary people, his injuries were far less severe. Plus, the Chilling Qi in his meridians had been removed by the inner force of the Ji Yang, so the amount of Chilling Qi remaining in his body was not much. However, the young prince's body had always been weak, and he had to endure for a long time before fainting. If you take the medicine on time and rest for half a month, you'll basically be fine. "

The Qi King touched his son's forehead and asked, "Didn't you already put in the furnace? Why is it still so cold? "

"According to this humble subject's diagnosis, the cold symptoms on the young prince's body have not improved at all. It should be because of Zhu Yan's change in his body," Song Xiangran muttered to himself. A furnace is, after all, an external object and cannot drive away the cold in the Dantian. "

Prince Huan asked, "Then what should we do?"

Song Xiangran pondered for a moment, "Actually, the young prince does not need to worry anymore. This humble subject has boiled the soup and fed it to the young prince. It should be better in half an hour. If you want to get better quickly, then use the inner force of your body to slowly transfer it into the young prince's body, and then draw out the Yin Qi from the young prince's body. "

Duke Huan raised his eyebrows, "In other words, I have fed him the Yang energy and absorbed the Yin Qi from his body into my body. After that, I will melt the Yin Qi by myself.

Song Xiangran felt that he was going to go up personally, and quickly said: "Inner energy belongs to Yang, but it cannot be pure Yang inner force. "If the temperature is too high and the young prince's body is weak, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand it and will end up suffering the opposite effect."

The Qi King asked, "Then how about me?"

Song Xiangran was taken aback. "This humble subject is not clear either, but from this humble subject's point of view …"

"Your Highness, let me do it." Ran Hao had already changed his clothes. He pushed open the door and walked in, his face still pale and weak. He rushed over without even wiping the water droplets from his hair, not to mention staying in the house to warm up.

The Qi King glanced at him again, "You are half a patient yourself, why are you acting so arrogantly?"

Ran Hao slowly kneeled down and said: "I hope Your Highness can give me a chance to repent for my contributions."

The Qi King ignored him. "Mo'er fell into the trap himself. It's normal for you to fail to save him. How can you be guilty?"

Ran Hao pursed his lips, "If it weren't for me falling in with you, young master would have come up a long time ago …"

"You don't know water, Mo'er is afraid of water. If you don't save him, will he be able to do it himself? " Prince Huan spread out his hands and spoke the truth.

Ran Hao said in a low voice: "If I had pulled Young Master up from the shore, perhaps Young Master would have come up earlier."

The Qi King smirked, "Since you know, don't be so reckless next time. Think twice before you go any further."

Ran Hao's face showed shame, "It was my negligence. Please punish me."

The Qi King couldn't be bothered with him, "Then dry your hair and leave Mo'er to guard her. We'll be back in a while."

Prince Huan was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Fourth Brother, where are you going?"

Prince Qi said, "Go investigate the reason why Mo'er fell into the water."

Looking at his nephew, whose breathing was so faint that it was almost negligible, Duke Huan hesitated a little before asking, "Then, should we leave Mo'er here alone?"

Prince Qi looked at Song Xiangran. Song Xiangran quickly said, "Your humble subject will take care of the young prince. Don't worry, your highness."

Duke Huan furrowed his brows. Although he was worried, he did not say much. He only turned around and shouted, "Chen Huayi!"

In less than three breaths' time, Chen Huayi came out and asked, "Sir, you called me?"

Prince Huan nodded. "You stay here and guard it. We'll send Mo'er back to the grass garden tomorrow morning."

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Huayi hurriedly said, "Yes, I understand."

Duke Huan thought for a while before purposely adding, "Tomorrow morning's breakfast will be served to you with an extra serving of meat. "So, you should guard it well."

Chen Huayi smiled wryly, but he did not dare to laugh in the presence of the other princes. He could only continue, "Rest assured, my lord. I will not be careless."

He knew that Chen Huayi and his son had a good relationship, and with Ran Hao guarding them, the Qi King was not worried. When they were finished, he looked at Ran Hao again: "You come out first." He turned around and walked out.

Ran Hao was stunned for a moment before replying softly. He waited for King Huai to leave and then followed him out.

"Fourth Uncle, how is Brother Mo?" The moment he saw them come out, Zhao Yu, who had been pacing back and forth, hurriedly came up to them. The anxiety on his face didn't seem fake at all.

Prince Qi's eyes swept across the two rows of footprints on the snow, and thought to himself, "Another one isn't going to rest properly." His expression didn't reveal much of his thoughts, "The imperial physician is currently cooking medicine, it shouldn't be a big problem to feed it. From now on, all he has to do is recuperate."

Zhao Shu let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "That's good, that's good."

Just as he was about to speak, Duke Huan had already spoken first, "What happened? How did Mo'er fall into the lake? "

A trace of surprise flashed through the eyes of the messenger king when he heard this. He silently sized up Duke Huan, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Zhao Shu froze, not knowing how to reply. "This …"

The Qi King said slowly, "Things happened so suddenly, there's no need to rush. Speak slowly."

On the other hand, Duke Huan looked at Ran Hao: "Didn't you always accompany me to the palace today? "How can I let Mo'er be in such danger?"

Ran Hao quickly knelt down, bowed and said: "Young Master spoke to His Highness, this subordinate does not dare to listen, and is already too late to go. This subordinate was careless. I hope that Your Highness can punish me. "

Duke Huan's expression relaxed a bit as he muttered, "That's true."

"But …" Ran Hao glanced at Zhao Shu, but stopped and lowered his head.

Seeing this, both the Qi King and the Weng King frowned. Ran Hao had been with Zhao Qingyan for over ten years, and they knew about his personality. If it wasn't for his personality, he wouldn't have said it so easily. But since he did, he wouldn't have said it for no reason. He wanted to say something but hesitated for no reason, causing others to feel suspicious.

Duke Huan looked at Fourth Brother and saw that he was deep in thought, he decided to just say it out loud, "Hao Yun, just say what you see."

Ran Hao pursed his lips, bowed and kowtowed: "I am too far away to see clearly. "But, young master fell into the water. It should be His Highness the Crown Prince who gave young master a push …"

"Young prince, you …"

"Nonsense!"

Hearing the commotion, everyone turned their heads and saw Zhao Qingyan staggering to the door with the support of Chen Huayi. He was leaning against the door with fury in his eyes.

Zhao Shu said, "Brother Mo, why did you …"

Almost at the same time he opened his mouth, Zhao Qingyan angrily shouted, "Thirteenth Uncle, can't you guess what you're thinking? Who gave you the guts to spout nonsense here? "

Ran Hao was slightly startled, and said in a low voice: "It was my mistake."

Zhao Qingyan pointed at him. "You …" Suddenly, he bent over and coughed. Fresh blood flowed out from the gaps between his fingers and fell on his recently changed clothes. It was a piercing red color.

"Young Master!" Ran Hao was about to stand up to help him, but saw the anger on his face and knelt down, not daring to move forward.

Zhao Qingyan pulled the door open and slid down slowly. When he stopped coughing, he said in a low voice, "Chen Huayi, help me up."

Chen Chengyi was a little taken aback, but he hesitated and did not support him. "Young Prince, you should go back and rest first. Your body can't help but be tormented like this."

"Help me up!" Zhao Qingyan bellowed and struggled to get up before she could even wipe the blood off the corner of her lips.

Chen Huayi had never seen him in such a rage before. Furthermore, he had acted in the presence of a few elders and had completely disregarded etiquette. The gentle and gentle young prince had never lost his composure like this. He used some strength in his hands to help Zhao Qingyan up, allowing him to lean on himself. Chen Huayi could not help but remind him, "Be careful, young prince."

The hostility between Zhao Qingyan's brows had lessened a little, after thanking Ji Hao, he staggered back towards Ran Hao. Afraid that he would fall down, Chen Huayi could only use all his strength to support him and walk down the stairs.

"Brother Mo!" Zhao Qingyan stumbled to the ground, but Zhao Shu reached out to support him. "Stop trying to be brave. Go back and rest!"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head, gently pulling his arm away, his eyes turned back to Ran Hao and asked, "Let me ask you, did you see that?" The bottom outside of the appendix was neatly knocked out. "

Ran Hao was startled by what he heard, "I didn't notice …"

Zhao Qingyan narrowed his eyes, "Then I'll tell you now, I fell in because my appendix was broken. And you say that my royal brother pushed me — do you know what you're saying? "

Ran Hao immediately felt his hands and feet go cold: "I don't know... "I didn't mean that …"

"Don't be arrogant if you don't know!" Zhao Qingyan reprimanded him as he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He forced himself to hold back the pain that almost made him faint, and his voice became a little softer, no longer as fierce as before, only leaving behind fatigue and a sigh: "This is the palace, not the Qi King Manor, it's not something that can be said easily, do you know?"

Ran Hao's face had already turned snow-white, "Young master, I really didn't …"

Zhao Shu interrupted, "Okay, Brother Mo, please don't make things difficult for Hao. He's loyal as well. And, as Hao said, I gave you a shove. "

Zhao Qingyan was stunned. "Royal brother, what did you say?" It wasn't just him, everyone was frozen in place because of his words.

Duke Huan was stunned for a few breaths before he managed to speak, "You … We'll talk about it when you think about it. "

Zhao Shu let out a long breath slowly, his expression regaining its composure. "When my appendix was broken, Brother Mo actually had a chance to escape." But Brother Mo was afraid that I would fall into the lake, so he pushed me away when he realized something was wrong. In order to push me away, Brother Mo was unable to leave that place in time. "

Zhao Qingyan gave a wry smile, "Royal brother, you know I couldn't avoid it, but you still want to say it as if it was a righteous cause."

Zhao Shu smiled, and a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes. "It's nothing more than deep affection. How could I stand up to such righteousness?"

Zhao Qingyan was slightly stunned. After a while, she chuckled softly, "Without Imperial Brother, I would have really drowned in the lake today."

Zhao Shu smiled and asked, "What? Want to thank me? "Then come to the palace and accompany Xun Er. She missed you quite a bit the last time she came back."

Zhao Qingyan nodded, "Alright, I'll go check on Xun Er now that I'm better."

Zhao Shu gestured with her chin towards his back. "Why aren't you going back when you know you're not feeling well?"

The Qi King looked at Ran Hao and said lightly: "Stop staring, help the young master go back."

Ran Hao responded and got up to support Zhao Qingyan. He lowered his eyes and said, "Young Master, let's go back now."

Chen Huayi loosened his grip and retreated a few steps.

Without Chen Huayi's support, Zhao Qingyan could only rely on Ran Hao's strength to stand. He sighed and said, "Then I'll go and rest first." He turned around and walked back into the room.

Waiting for the door to cover Zhao Qingyan's back, the Qi King looked at the sky and muttered, "Another annoying night."
