Prince Rui's leg was not broken, but his tendons and bones were injured and he needed to stay in bed to rest. If he was not careful, the condition would get worse.
He felt his legs were getting more and more painful, and finally he started to worry, "Do I have to lie down from now on?"
The court doctor nodded solemnly, "Yes, Your Majesty, it is best to lie down and get up and move around after you have recovered a little."
The King of Rui still had official business to attend to and did not want to delay. "How long will it take to lie down? There will be more things to do at the end of the year."
The palace doctor said, "As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Your Highness will need to rest for at least ten days or half a month."
Prince Rui finally got a good job and was reluctant to give it up. "It's just a broken bone, but you have to take so long to recover?"
"That would be best." The court doctor thought for a moment and said, "But if the prince needs to go out on business, he can use a wheelchair."
King Rui looked at Chu Xuanchi and felt unhappy. He didn't want to be a waste, but going out with a cane seemed even more indecent.
Chu Xuanhan saw that he frowned slightly, and comforted him gently and considerately, "Seventh brother, don't worry about official duties, and take care of your health first."
The King of Rui's job was recommended by him. Since he said so, King Rui didn't say much, "This is the only way now."
The court doctor then examined Chu Xuanhan and found that he had a good foundation in martial arts and only had a few scratches on his arms, which was nothing serious.
Yuchi Jiyue looked at Chu Xuanhan with a worried look in her eyes, "Are you really okay?"
The palace doctor said respectfully, "If the princess is worried, you can ask someone to take a look after you return home."
Chu Xuanhan comforted Yuchi Jiyue softly, "Princess, don't worry. I believe in the medical skills of the palace doctor."
Yuchi Jiyue was relieved to see that he looked much better than Prince Rui, "As long as the prince is okay."
When the court physician was writing the prescription, Prince Jin came late. He did not mention Shen Xiyue's miscarriage and was only concerned about the injuries of the two.
Upon learning that King Rui was not in good condition, he immediately apologized and asked someone to go to the warehouse to get some medicinal herbs and gifts as compensation.
Although Chu Xuanhan's injuries were not serious, King Jin still offered him an apology, after all, the accident happened in his house.
Chu Xuanchi, Mo Zhaohua, and Yuchi Jiuyue also received gifts to calm them down, with perfect etiquette.
The Prince of Jin was filled with shame, "I am really sorry for causing several of my brothers and sisters-in-law to be injured or frightened today."
It was obvious that today's incident was not aimed at them. The target was Shen Xiyue's child, so a few people said some polite words.
Then they said goodbye and left. As for the truth of today's events, they believed that King Jin did not want outsiders to know.
The Prince of Jin and Princess Jin kindly saw them off to the gate of the mansion, watched them get on their carriages, and then turned back to the mansion.
The moment King Jin turned around, his face darkened. "Follow me to the study."
Li Ying's expression was indifferent, and her words were cold, "Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as he entered the study and closed the door, Prince Jin asked sternly, "Li Ying, did you do this?"
Li Ying stood calmly in front of his desk, "Your Majesty, are you seeing that I am not injured like the others?"
Prince Jin's eyes were sinister. "Even if you are injured, you cannot clear yourself of suspicion. Not many people know that Xiyue is pregnant, and you are one of them."
Li Ying's eyes turned cold. "Although the prince doesn't know how many outsiders there are in the palace, he at least knows about this, right?"
Not to mention the various princes' palaces, there were spies even in the palace, either keeping an eye on Emperor Wenzong or the empresses in the various palaces.
Prince Jin was sure it was her, "You still want to deny it? Besides you, who else in the mansion would dare to lay hands on Xiyue's child, and be so generous?"
All the concubines in the backyard combined don't have the ability to tamper with the horse, let alone the two concubines. I'm afraid they don't have the guts to do that.
Although the concubine of Prince Jin is not of as low birth as Mo Yaohua, she is still inferior to Shen Xiyue. The key is that she is not favored.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not had any children yet. The Prince has long been a thorn in the eyes of many people. There are many who do not want the Prince to give birth to a grandson."
Li Ying's words made sense. "Even if the prince is merciful, the prince's party may not be unwilling to take action. I hope Your Majesty will think it over carefully."
On the way from Wangyue Pavilion to the main hall, Prince Jin thought it was someone else. Hearing this, he couldn't help but waver, "It's really not you?"
Although Li Ying really doesn't want Shen Xiyue to give birth to a eldest son, the same is true for the princelings, and even more people.
Li Ying stopped there without further explanation, "That's all I have to say. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I have no other options."
King Jin spoke sharply, "You are not the best. If you dare to attack my offspring again, I will never let you off easily."
"Again?" Li Ying's eyes darkened, revealing a look of pain, "Your Highness, are you sure that I have touched your offspring?"
The King of Jin told her about this for the first time, "Wasn't it you who gave birth to Xiyue's first child?"
Li Ying pulled up a bitter smile, "So the prince misses me so much, then who is the father of my child?"
After giving birth to her eldest daughter, she became pregnant again. She was so happy at that time and looked forward to the birth of the child, but the fetus died in her womb.
King Jin showed disgust in his eyes, "You were the first to attack, so don't blame others for treating you the way you treated them."
He has had countless women over the years, but failed to give birth to a son. He always believed that it was Li Ying who was secretly behind the scenes, and he had also reminded her before.
As a result, they had a big fight that time, and Li Ying returned to the Minister of Personnel's residence. Later, he put aside his pride and took the initiative to pick her up.
From that time on, they treated each other with respect. They never quarreled or even got angry, but they also had no feelings for each other.
Li Ying's voice became colder. "If you don't have any evidence, Your Majesty, you'd better not be so sure. This will hurt our already shallow relationship as a couple."
The Prince of Jin threatened, "I have said that I will not pursue the past, but I hope you will behave yourself in the future and remain the Princess of Jin."
"Then Your Majesty is going to divorce me because of speculation?" Li Ying said, shaking her head, "No, a marriage granted cannot be divorced, so you can only kill me."
King Jin said in a sinister tone, "Don't let me find any clues to prove that this matter is related to you, otherwise you know the consequences!"
There was no fear in Li Ying's eyes, she remained calm, "Okay, I will wait for the prince's evidence."
She did not explain further. After all, no matter what she said, he would not believe it and would feel annoyed instead. Why should she annoy him further?
Then she left the study and returned to her own Lanting Garden.
Meixiang also went to the horse farm today. After following her back to her room, she whispered, "Madam, I'm afraid the prince is suspicious of you again, right?"
Li Ying's expression had returned to indifference. "Which woman in the backyard got into trouble? Wouldn't he suspect me of doing it?"
"Alas... Your Majesty has suffered too much injustice. If the prince had not been so cruel in the beginning, Your Majesty would not be in this situation now..."
