Because Mo Zhaohua understood medicine, he could make a diagnosis on the spot based on the imperial physician's treatment.

If Chu Xuanchi relies on himself, he will have to see how quickly his injuries recover to determine whether the imperial physician has done his best.

Trying one's best means that Emperor Wenzong has already given in, but how much he has given in will depend on subsequent treatment.

His injuries can be roughly divided into three types: leg injury, internal injury, and leg disease. If we only ask him to cure the first one, it will not be of much significance.

If the imperial physician could heal his internal injuries, Emperor Wenzong's desire to kill him would fade, but he did not dare to hold too much hope for this.

Since Chu Xuanchi was already "unconscious", Mo Zhaohua naturally had to let the imperial physician enter the east wing and then carefully observe and treat him.

In fact, the court physician had just treated him, and the imperial physician only took his pulse and did not need to do anything else to treat his wounds.

However, when Mo Zhaohua saw the imperial physician carefully examining Chu Xuanchi's legs, he became nervous, fearing that he would find something unusual.

Chu Xuanchi didn't think about this. The first thing he thought of was that the court doctor would treat his legs so that his legs would no longer be covered in wounds.

After the imperial physician examined him, Mo Zhaohua deliberately tested him, "Is your leg getting better? Can you stand up again?"

The imperial physician did not notice that Chu Xuanchi's legs had regained any feeling. "Please forgive me, Princess. I am not an expert in medicine and do not have the ability to do so for the time being."

Mo Zhaohua pretended to be disappointed, "Ah... I was just being too demanding."

The imperial physician told Mo Zhaohua that Emperor Wenzong asked him to temporarily stay in the Prince's Palace. Since it was the emperor's order, Mo Zhaohua could not refuse.

She immediately gave orders to have accommodation arranged for him. After thanking the imperial physician, he left with his medicine box on his back.

Chu Xuanchi smiled and opened his eyes, "It seems that this time it is a blessing in disguise. At least this disgusting injury can be cured."

Mo Zhaohua helped him sit up, "My husband is still smiling. I was so worried just now, afraid that the imperial physician would notice something."

Chu Xuanchi didn't care much, "What are you afraid of? Didn't Zhao Zhao say that as long as I don't admit that I have consciousness, no one can do anything to me?"

Mo Zhaohua poured a cup of hot water and said, "That being said, I still hope you can be more careful and not let us fail at the last moment."

Chu Xuanchi will have to take medicine next and should not drink tea. He can only drink plain water these days. Now that he has a fever, he needs to drink more hot water.

He drank the water from Mo Zhaohua's hand, "With Zhao Zhao, I don't even need to drink water myself. Do I look like a useless person?"

Mo Zhaohua was happy to take care of him, "No, he looks more like a child. Think about it yourself, was he like this when he was young?"

Chu Xuanchi's eyes dimmed, "My mother took care of me personally at that time. When I was thirsty in the middle of the night, my mother fed me like this."

Mo Zhaohua apologized quickly with a distressed look on her face, "I'm sorry, husband. I shouldn't have mentioned my childhood and reminded you of it again..."

Chu Xuanchi sighed softly, "Zhao Zhao, there is no need to blame yourself. The days with my mother are all beautiful memories, and I don't want to forget them."

He paused and added, "I don't want to forget my mother either. In my heart, my mother has always been by my side."

The corners of Mo Zhaohua's eyes turned red, and mist appeared in his eyes, "Husband..."

Chu Xuanchi smiled, "Zhao Zhao, don't feel bad. I had my mother before, and now I have you, which is enough."

Mo Zhaohua promised firmly, "Unless I die or my husband despises me, I will always be with him."

***

Late that night.

Emperor Wenzong has returned from the Qinzheng Hall to the Chengqian Palace to rest.

A young eunuch hurried to see Li Tuquan and whispered to him the good news.

He waved away the eunuch and reported to Emperor Wenzong, "Your Majesty, there is more good news. The assassin finally confessed."

Emperor Wenzong, who had just laid down, immediately sat up and asked sternly, "Who is the person behind this?"

Li Tuquan replied across the dragon bed, "It's the Nanzhao Kingdom. All the assassins are spies from Nanzhao hiding in Shengjing."

Emperor Wenzong suddenly realized, "It turned out to be a spy from Nan Zhao. I should have thought of it earlier. Did the villain betray his other accomplices?"

"He revealed a stronghold and the Royal Guards have gone to capture them." However, it has been several days since the incident, so the place is probably deserted.

"Good, very good!" Emperor Wenzong said coldly, "How dare they try to sow discord between us? I will make their lives worse than death."

This left a survivor. If not, with rumors spreading, there would always be people who believed that he wanted to kill Chu Xuanchi.

Sooner or later, the news will spread to the southern border, the western border and the northern border. How will those soldiers who are fighting desperately on the battlefield feel?

Nan Zhao's move was really cruel, and Emperor Wenzong was so angry that he wanted Chu Xuanchi to go to Southern Xinjiang again and lead the Dongling soldiers to give them a good beating.

However, this thought was suppressed as soon as it emerged. Compared with the war in southern Xinjiang, he was more afraid that Chu Xuanchi's achievements would be so great that he would threaten the emperor and intend to usurp the throne.

He did not think that this was groundless worry, because such a thing had happened in the previous dynasty, and the most important thing was that the prince successfully killed his father and seized the throne.

While he was thinking, he heard Li Tuquan asking, "Your Majesty, how do we deal with the assassin?"

Emperor Wenzong groaned and said, "Hang the body at the city gate, and let the enemy's spies and detectives see his end."

At the same time, in the backyard of Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Mo Zhaohua was giving acupuncture to Chu Xuanchi's legs as usual.

Today it was Huaying's turn to help, and during the chat she mentioned the imperial physician's stay for a while.

She asked worriedly, "The imperial physician will come every day. Will the fact that the princess treated the master's legs be exposed?"

Mo Zhaohua was always careful about everything. "It shouldn't be that serious, but you can stop the acupuncture for a few days and see how it goes."

After the acupuncture was completed, Huaying packed up the silver needles and retreated safely.

Mo Zhaohua helped Chu Xuanchi wash up, as it was even more inconvenient for him to lie in bed.

Not long after the two of them fell asleep, Wuying came to report, "Master, the assassin in the palace has confessed that he is a spy from the Southern Zhao Kingdom."

Chu Xuanchi, who was already drowsy, woke up instantly, "It turned out to be a plan that killed two birds with one stone. Fortunately, it was successful at the last moment."

Mo Zhaohua was puzzled. "Strange, if Nan Zhao wanted to kill my husband for revenge, the best opportunity would be after my husband was seriously injured. Why would she wait until now?"

Wuying explained through the screen, "Princess, you don't know that after the master was seriously injured, the Nanzhao assassins attacked repeatedly and chased all the way from Southern Xinjiang to Shengjing."

Mo Zhaohua recalled the situation when Chu Xuanchi first returned to the capital, "Is this the reason why His Majesty sent the Imperial Guards to the Prince Yu's Palace?"

At that time, there were often reports of assassins attacking the Prince Yu's Palace at night. It was not until the beginning of this year that the reports gradually decreased, and later they no longer occurred.

It was Chu Xuanchi who answered, "Firstly, it was indeed for protection, intercepting batch after batch of assassins, and secondly, it was to monitor me."

Wuying waited for him to finish before continuing to report, "The Imperial Guards just went to the base revealed by the Nanzhao spy, but unfortunately they didn't catch anyone."

Chu Xuanchi thought about it and knew the reason. "It has been a long time since the incident happened. They knew that there were survivors. They would naturally move in time."

Mo Zhaohua knew that he had already guessed it in his mind, so he asked curiously, "Is the result different from what my husband originally thought?"
