Song Junyan was in so much pain that even though he didn't make even a weak groan from beginning to end, the doctor could still see how much pain he was experiencing from his palms pierced by his fingertips.

The doctor didn't dare to let the prince suffer too much pain from his hand, so he wrote a prescription and asked someone to boil a bowl of Ma Fei San.

Silver needles were used to prick the acupuncture points to temporarily relieve the pain. Song Junyan's stiff back finally relaxed and he slowly closed his eyes in the lingering soothing incense.

But before he could fall asleep, he was awakened by the sound of the door being pushed open.

Before I looked for the person coming from the source, I heard a familiar voice.

[Why is he so pale? Is he still bleeding internally?]

[But isn't it said that once internal bleeding occurs, it is a serious problem and the person will die soon? ]

[It is said that he has been a scourge for thousands of years, but he has not yet turned evil. He should not die so easily, right? ]

[Please don’t let anything happen to him, or he will be killed by me… If it is recorded in history books, he will be laughed to death by future generations, right? ]

The chaotic voices in her heart still sounded familiar. Song Junyan frowned and glanced coldly at the eunuch who brought her in.

Now he just wanted to lie down peacefully until tomorrow morning, and then return to the capital early to have his ribs reconnected and recuperate slowly.

If he knew that going out of the city to rescue people would put himself in danger...

Forget it, even if he knew he could only consider himself unlucky. After all, he couldn't just watch the three of them, mother and daughter, get into trouble.

Lu Xinran approached the bed cautiously, and feeling his irritable mood, she gave a nervous dry laugh.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I would like to thank you for coming out of the city to rescue me on behalf of my elder sister."

[I must remember this favor. Without him, we would not be able to escape today, and we might even be dead now.]

[I hope it won’t be too embarrassing to repay a favor in the future. ]

[He looks so miserable like this, actually a bit... beautiful, strong, pale and delicate, like, um, the one in the waste novel waiting to be bullied.]

[But he is a prince, so being beautiful and strong is not a problem, and he shouldn't be miserable. ]

[Well, that's not right. In a place like the harem where people are eaten without leaving any bones, he might have been really miserable in the past! ]

Thinking of this, she subconsciously wanted to order the booklet belonging to Song Junyan.

The delicate beauty lying on the bed felt her heart tremble and she hurriedly shouted to drive the man away.

"It's just a small favor, don't worry about it, Miss. I'm not feeling well, please do as you please."

He bluntly asked the guest to leave. Lu Xinran did not want to stay any longer. She looked at him carefully again and saw that his face was getting paler. She bowed and was sent out by the eunuch with a heavy heart.

"Before I return to the palace tomorrow, I don't want to see any outsiders anymore. Do you remember this?"

The little girl who was hit responded in a panic. After leaving the room, she stood quietly at the door and dared not act on her own anymore.

With guards standing guard outside, there was no sneak attack that night and the inn was peaceful.

After taking the calming soup, Lu Xinlan fell into a deep sleep.

As for Zhao, she kowtowed and the doctor said that she needed to take it easy. She might wake up early tomorrow morning or at night or in a coma for a few days.

Lu Xinran had no intention of fulfilling his filial duty in front of Zhao, so he asked the innkeeper to find a woman to come and watch over Zhao's room before he went back to his room to rest.

Only Lu Yuanheng felt a little sad. He came to see Lu Xinran several times, but was always dismissed by her with a polite and distant attitude.

He couldn't understand it. It was obviously for Lu Xinlan's sake that they didn't get close to her the first time she returned home. Why did she treat her elder sister like a sister, but was unwilling to forgive him and his mother?

Lu Xinran always felt that something was wrong. He discussed it with the system over and over again for a long time, but neither he nor the system could find out where the problem lay.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. As long as the problem is solved quickly, there will be no problem.

"Tongzi, Song Junyan is sure that only his ribs were broken and his internal organs were not injured, right?"

"Sure, sure, and for sure!"

Lu Xinran: “…”

Her character has improved and she can even make jokes.

She slept uneasily the whole night, and everyone got up early the next morning to prepare to return to the city.

Song Junyan had broken ribs and could not withstand the bumps of the carriage, so the guards, under the guidance of the doctor, made a stretcher overnight that could be carried on shoulders.

For fear that it would be too hot when the sun rose high in the sky, we also put up a sunshade on top.

Lu Xinran looked at Song Junyan lying in the middle, being carried by the guards. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help but talk nonsense in his heart.

[This sedan chair looks really unlucky, and it even has a lid. Why not replace it with a wooden one? He can lie in it and not have to go back to the city, but can go directly to the imperial mausoleum.]

Song Junyan, who could hear the inner voice, said: "..."

If she hadn't complained, he wouldn't have noticed. He tried to move his eyes, and then he found himself lying straight in the sedan, which really looked like... a coffin!

Before the group had gone far, they met the palace guards who came to meet them.

"Miss Lu, the Queen Mother and the Empress were extremely worried when they heard about your accident. They asked me to bring you to the palace to let the imperial physician take a closer look."

When they returned to the Lu Mansion, they could also ask the imperial physician to come and see the patient. Lu Xinlan immediately realized that the emperor wanted to summon them to the palace, using the names of the empress dowager and the queen.

Lu Xinran turned her head to look at Lu Xinlan, and saw her nod slightly to her. The two sisters hurriedly bowed in the direction of the imperial city, and did not forget to say some words of thanks.

With the help of the imperial guards, they had a safe journey.

However, Song Junyan was seriously injured, and they could not travel quickly while carrying him. By the time everyone returned to the city, it was almost noon.

Lu Yuanheng took Zhao to the palace first, while Lu Xinran and her sister were led by the eunuchs and entered the palace with Song Junyan.

The shameless Fourth Prince was carried into a carriage before entering the city. The carriage was covered with thick cushions, but the bumpy ride still made him break out in cold sweats.

When he was carried back into the sedan chair at the palace gate, the two sisters saw that his collar was wet with cold sweat.

Lu Xinran's heart was filled with guilt and remorse. If Song Junyan hadn't acted as a cushion for her, she would be the one with broken bones.

The group separated in the palace corridor after entering the palace.

The guards carried Song Junyan straight to the Imperial Medical Bureau, while the eunuch who summoned them into the palace led them straight to the Wenhua Palace.
