Soon, Eunuch Hai came out and reported Prince An's situation.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Prince An's injuries are somewhat serious. The imperial doctors are now cleaning Prince An's wounds. The imperial doctors ask for your permission. Do you need scar-healing ointment..."

"Okay, bring a few more bottles over and give them all to Prince An. It must not leave any scars..."

By the time the banquet was about to end, Prince An had already been bandaged and walked out with the support of Concubine Qi.

"I am feeling a little unwell, so I will take my leave now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

After hearing what Prince An said, the Queen Mother agreed immediately. She also said a few words of concern and asked Nanny Sun to send someone to the Imperial Hospital to pick some medicinal materials and send them to Prince An's mansion.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

The emperor watched Prince An leave and his eyes narrowed.

The imperial doctors just said that Prince An's chest was indeed seriously injured. He had just recovered a little, but now he was burned by this boiling soup, and his injury would be aggravated. It might take another month or two to heal...

Prince An's injuries were so serious, and they were consistent with what he saw before. Does that mean that the person injured that day was indeed Prince An?

The emperor's eyes were gloomy. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter. However, their people had not found anything else.

Princess Yun Zhao and Princess Zhaoyang helped the Queen Mother back to Shoukang Palace.

In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager had a rosy complexion. She had also drunk some fruit wine. Seeing her daughter and granddaughter, she felt even happier.

"Chao'an, the Royal Grandmother is very happy today. The gift you gave her today touched her heart. This longevity painting is really great..."

When Princess Zhaoyang saw her mother's happy look, she smiled even more.

"Madame Sun, please take the people out."

Hearing this, Nanny Sun immediately agreed.

Princess Zhaoyang and Yun Zhao's men retreated.

The Queen Mother looked at Yun Zhao and said with a smile.

"Zhao'er, are you confused as to why the Imperial Grandmother would say such a thing? Why did the Emperor give you a token that is like my personal presence?"

Yun Zhao nodded. Actually, she had thought of something. But if the Royal Grandmother wanted to answer her questions, she would certainly be willing to do so.

"The Royal Grandmother can see that your cousin Prince Chen is in a very awkward position now..." The Queen Mother did not say anything else in front of Yun Zhao and Princess Zhaoyang, but spoke from her heart.

"If one day, I am gone and the emperor cannot tolerate him, my grandmother hopes that you, Zhaoyang, and Chaoan can help Chen'er, even if it means saving his life and letting him escape..."

The Empress Dowager felt extremely guilty towards Xiao Jingchen, her eldest grandson.

The late emperor also liked Xiao Jingchen very much at first, but things changed after Jier got into trouble.

Otherwise, Chen Er would be the crown prince now...

Yun Zhao listened to the words of the Royal Grandmother and understood what the Empress Dowager meant.

"Don't worry, if that day really comes, Chaoan will definitely protect my cousin Prince Chen..." Yun Zhao assured the Queen Mother.

When the Empress Dowager heard Yun Zhao's words, her eyes turned red.

"My Royal Grandmother knows that this matter is too dangerous. She never believed that such a thing would happen before. But now, this matter may indeed happen..."
