Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

The prince's eyes dimmed, "There are some rumors that are not favorable to my fifth brother, saying that the girl is your concubine."

Chu Xuanchi had never heard of this incident. "How could there be such a ridiculous rumor that would ruin the innocence of a girl?"

Mu Xueyan is only fifteen years old now, and is indeed at the age to get married, but there is no romantic relationship between them.

All along, he only treated her as his own sister and wanted to arrange a marriage for her, but she did not show any admiration.

The prince reminded him, "I'm afraid this is directed at you, my fifth brother. What they really want to do is to destroy the reputation you have accumulated over the years."

Thanks to his military achievements, Chu Xuanchi has an excellent reputation among the people, and ordinary people can't find any evidence to slander him.

However, the appearance of Mu Xueyan gave some people the opportunity to deliberately confuse right and wrong and insisted on saying that the benefactor entrusted his son to her care was actually his mistress.

As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and most people tend to follow the crowd. If more people say this, there is no guarantee that some people will believe it.

From this one incident alone, Chu Xuanchi knew the gap between himself and the prince. His foundation in Shengjing was really shallow, and his intelligence was far inferior to that of the prince.

"I would like to thank the Crown Prince for telling you." As for who spread the rumor, Chu Xuanchi had to go back and think about it carefully.

The prince's expression was sincere, and his words were sincere, "You need to handle the girl's affairs well, and don't give others the opportunity to ruin your reputation."

Chu Xuanchi responded, "Yes, I understand."

After they chatted for a while, the famous doctor finished examining Chu Xuanchi.

The prince said calmly, "How is it? Does the miracle doctor have any way to treat it?"

The doctor looked puzzled. "I don't understand. Although this injury is serious, it is not incurable. Why hasn't it healed yet?"

Chu Xuanchi explained, "The internal injuries were serious before, and the imperial physician did not dare to use strong medicine, so the effect of the medicine was a little slow, but now it has improved a lot."

"No, it shouldn't be like this, unless the imperial physician's medical skills..." The doctor stopped abruptly and dared not say more.

He was a smart man, and after a quick analysis he realized that it was not that the disease could not be cured, but that someone did not want the King to recover.

How could he afford to offend someone who could even control the imperial physicians in the palace? Not to mention that he was not sure whether he could treat the disease or not, he would not dare to treat the disease even if he did.

So he immediately backed off and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm not a good doctor. I hope you can find someone else."

The prince's face suddenly darkened, "But you just said it's not incurable?"

The doctor made an excuse, "I just didn't realize that His Royal Highness had internal injuries. The Imperial Physician was very thoughtful."

Chu Xuanchi guessed the doctor's thoughts, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Prince, please don't embarrass the doctor."

The doctor knelt down in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I hope you can find a true miracle doctor and recover soon."

The prince sighed and said, "Since you can't cure it, then go away."

The doctor picked up the medicine box and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

The prince looked at Chu Xuanchi awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I made you make this trip in vain."

Chu Xuanchi smiled indifferently, "No problem, it's just expected."

The Crown Princess frowned, "What should we do? The doctor can guess the cause at a glance, and how many people dare to treat it?"

Chu Xuanchi held the wheelchair with both hands, "It's okay, it's fine now. I'm used to this wheelchair anyway."

The prince consoled him, "Fifth brother, don't be discouraged. The world is so big, I believe there will always be righteous people who are not afraid of power."

"After a few years, the past events will be gradually forgotten, and someone in the army will take my place. Maybe I will be cured."

This was also the worst plan Chu Xuanchi had made before. As long as Emperor Wenzong kept him, he might recover in a few years.

The prince refused to give up. "No need to wait that long. I will continue to look for a doctor. It would be best if I can find Liuxian Island."

Chu Xuanchi did not hold out hope, "I can't even find my father, and he is still suffering from illness. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for the crown prince."

The prince consoled her softly, "It may be difficult, but there is always hope. How can you be worthy of your sister-in-law if you give up so easily?"

Chu Xuanchi smiled and said, "Your Highness is right. I will stand up soon with hope and give the princess a real home."

The prince looked at the princess and said, "That's great. I am also full of hope. I believe that one day, Rou'er and I will have our own children."

The Crown Princess' maiden name is Changsun Minrou. The Crown Prince usually only calls her so affectionately when he is around his own people, otherwise he would only call her his beloved concubine.

From this, it can be seen that he has regarded Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua as his own people, at least on the surface. Whether this is sincere or not remains to be judged.

Chu Xuanchi and his wife sat in the East Palace for a while before leaving. They did not go to meet other people, but went straight out of the palace and returned to Prince Yu's Mansion.

***

The next day.

The doctor left the palace and left Shengjing.

The prince's guards escorted him out of the city before returning to the East Palace to report.

The doctor sat in the carriage, still feeling frightened as he thought about yesterday's speculation.

That was why he was in a hurry to leave Shengjing, fearing that the night would be too long and he would lose his life.

The carriage was specially arranged by the prince, equipped with a driver and a guard, and it moved slowly on the official road.

The farther away from Shengjing City, the fewer people there were on the road. When passing by a forest, two men in black jumped out.

They all had black scarves covering their faces. One of them attacked the driver directly, while the other faced the guard.

The frightened driver failed to steer the carriage properly, and the frightened horses lost control and ran away with the carriage.

When the doctor heard the noise and lifted the curtain of the carriage, he saw a man in black cutting the driver's neck with a sword.

The man in black kicked the driver, who had died, off the horse, grabbed the reins and controlled the horse in time.

At this time, the doctor was so scared that he fell back, but he didn't see the other man in black stabbing the guard through the body with a sword.

The man in black driving the carriage left the official road, entered a small road, and drove a little further before stopping the carriage.

The doctor was hiding in the carriage trembling, and suddenly he saw a sword stabbing in, and he shrank back in fear.

However, there was a wall of the carriage behind him and he had no way to retreat. Fortunately, the sword did not stab him, but only lifted the curtain of the carriage.

But the next moment, the sword was placed on his neck again, bringing a bone-chilling coldness that made his whole body limp.

The man in black asked coldly, "Tell me, did the prince come to you just to cure his and the princess' illness, or did he have other intentions?"

The doctor's voice trembled, "It's for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. Unfortunately, my medical skills are not very good, so I have to ask the two nobles to seek help from others."

The man in black asked again, "Why did the King suddenly go to the East Palace after you came? Did you treat the King during this period?"

"No, no, I have never met His Majesty the Prince." The doctor had been told to keep the matter confidential before arriving in Beijing.

The man in black applied a little force, and blood appeared on the doctor's neck. "Let me ask again, you really didn't treat him?"
