"Concubine Shu, the prince is not dead yet!" Mu Zhen looked at her expressionlessly and said coldly, "Isn't it a little too early for you to cry now?"

"Princess, I... don't have..."

"If you don't have any, then shut up!" Mu Zhen interrupted her, staring at her with cold eyes, "I asked you to come here to take care of the prince, not to make trouble."

"Where's Li Wanying?" Mu Zhen glanced behind Concubine Shu, his tone a little colder, "Why, is there something unexpected for the prince? Even his own father was injured so badly, and he didn't come to see him?"

"Or do you think that since she is now a member of the Mu family, she no longer needs to shoulder the responsibilities of a child of the royal family?"

"Is this how you teach your children?" Mu Zhenling looked at Concubine Shu and scolded her mercilessly.

"No, the princess misunderstood." Concubine Shu quickly explained for Li Wanying, "Why would Wanying have such an idea? She must have been tripped up by something."

"Princess, the second lady is here." Buyu came with Li Wanying.

"Wanying greets mother." Li Wanying bowed to Mu Zhen, "Wanying is late. It's Wanying's fault. Mother punishes Wanying, and Wanying is willing to accept it. But now, father's injury is more important."

"Mother, let's let the palace doctor treat father's injury first."

Li Wanying said this sincerely, which made Mu Zhen unable to say anything to her.

"Princess, I am going to remove the arrow for the prince. Please support him." The court doctor said in a serious voice.

"Concubine Shu, please support the prince." Mu Zhen said to Concubine Shu.

"Yes!"

"Everyone else, follow me out and don't disturb the court physician from treating the prince's injuries." After Mu Zhen finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Li Wanying looked at her solemnly and frowned.

I always felt that Mu Zhen did it on purpose, deliberately scolding her and deliberately letting her mother stay to support her father.

Although he had many thoughts in his mind, he didn't show them on his face. He followed Mu Zhen out.

Xu Mansion

Ruan Lizi was helped back to the Xu Mansion by her close confidante Cheng Mama.

"What happened? Why did you get injured for no reason?" Upon hearing this, Old Madam Xu hurried over.

Looking at Ruan Lizi lying on the bed with weak breathing, his brows were tightly furrowed.

His cold eyes stared straight at Cheng's mother, "Tell me, what is going on?"

Mother Cheng knelt down and said, "Madam, please ask the doctor to treat Madam first! Madam is seriously injured!"

Xu Chongshan also hurried over and took a look at Ruan Lizi who was already unconscious on the bed. "After returning from the Marquis' Mansion, did she leave the house?"

Mother Cheng looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"Speak!" The old lady slammed the cane in her hand.

"Yes, yes!" Mother Cheng nodded repeatedly, "Madam is worried about Miss and feels aggrieved, so she asked me to accompany her for a walk."

"Who would have thought that we would encounter an assassin who shot and injured the lady. Old lady, master, I beg you, please quickly get a doctor for the lady. The lady's injury is really serious!"

"Where did you go?" the old lady asked expressionlessly, "And where did you get injured? You'd better tell me everything!"

"Slave..."

"If you tell even a lie, you don't need to live anymore." The old lady interrupted her and spoke word by word.

"Shuanglan, go get the court doctor." She turned and said to her personal bodyguard, Mother Li.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Naturally, Cheng's mother couldn't answer truthfully. She told half and kept the other half.

Of course, she kept it a secret about Ruan Lizi's secret meeting with Li Maoan, and only said that she was injured on Furong Street.

The old lady and Xu Chongshan naturally knew that Ruan Lizi was going to meet Li Maoan in private, but they didn't expect that someone would attack them.

Could it be Princess Rong?

No, no, impossible!

The old lady rejected the idea.

She had just met Princess Rong today and had reached a consensus with her.

At this time, there is no way Princess Rong would take action against this couple.

Who could that be?

The face of Concubine Shu flashed through the old lady’s mind.

Yes, there will be no one else except her.

Concubine Shu couldn't sit still and couldn't help herself. Presumably, she knew that Xu Panyue and Xu Yufan were Li Maoan's children.

Therefore, she wanted to kill Gigi Ruan first to eliminate the possibility of Gigi Ruan exposing the identities of these two people.

As expected, Concubine Shu is a cruel and ruthless woman.

Judging from the injuries of Gigi Nguyen, I'm afraid she is in great danger.

The old lady's gaze fell on the red-stained hem of Ruan Lizi's skirt.

This is……

A thought flashed through her mind.

Ruan Lizi's wound was on her lower abdomen, but her lower body was also covered in blood. Could it be that...

"You go out first." He said to Xu Chongshan in a deep voice, "Go and do what you need to do. I'll be here."

"Mother……"

"Get out!" the old lady said sternly, her tone commanding.

Xu Chongshan didn't say anything else, just nodded, turned and left.

Mother Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was actually dissatisfied with Xu Chongshan leaving at this time.

But she was just a servant and had no right to interfere in her master's decision.

I just feel more sorry for Gigi Nguyen.

Mother Cheng was Lizi Ruan’s wet nurse and also her confidante.

So, she basically knew everything about Gigi Nguyen.

It's not just about the matter between Gigi Ruan and Li Mao'an, but also about Gigi Ruan's relationship with other men, and even how Gigi Ruan killed Ruan Lijin. She knew it all clearly.

The old lady's eyes were fixed on her, as if she was thinking about something.

Such a look made Cheng's mother feel uncomfortable.

I felt like I was a fish on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered, and the next moment, I would be cut in half by a single knife.

He shuddered from the cold, dared not utter a sound, and could only kneel trembling and cowering.

The court doctor arrived quickly, hurrying in with his medicine box.

"Treat Madam's injuries." The old lady pointed at Ruan Lizi who was unconscious on the bed.

Looking at the arrow stuck in Ruan Lizi's lower abdomen and the blood all over her body, the court doctor was so frightened that cold sweat broke out.

"Yes, yes!" He nodded repeatedly, half-knelt beside the bed, and took Ruan Lizi's pulse.

Then his face became increasingly gloomy, and the beads of sweat on his forehead grew bigger.

He turned around and knelt down in front of the old lady, "Old lady, I am incompetent. I can't keep the baby in your belly!"

"What did you say?!" The old lady stared at him straight, "The child cannot be saved? You mean, she... is pregnant?"

The court doctor nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Madam has been pregnant for more than a month. But, this arrow... the child must be saved!"

Hearing this, the old lady took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Then do your best to protect the master."

"Yes Yes!"

"Bang!" There was a sound of something being kicked over outside the door.
