Chapter 646: She Must be Crazy to Have Fallen for Him 2 (1/2)

As soon as the emperor began to make his way back to his tent, he gave He Lin an order. “Find out what happened.”

He Lin acted swiftly. After a moment, he had already reported the sequence of events in detail to the gloomy-looking Emperor beside him.

“Nanzhang? Prince Hexi’s daughters? Anmin?” The emperor raised his voice as he said those names. He Lin couldn’t help but tremble when hearing his tone.

He Lin vaguely knew that those noble misses were going to suffer the consequences, but he didn’t dare say anything more.

A moment later, He Lin asked in a soft voice, “Your Majesty, Imperial Princess Leyao’s injury…”

“Send someone to notify Imperial Concubine Wei. We’re tired, so We’re going back to my tent to rest.”

“Yes, this servant understands.” He Lin quickly left with two imperial guards.

Eunuch Wei had already come to greet the emperor when he arrived at the tent with his imperial guards.

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Wei and knew that he had probably already heard the news. “Don’t ask. We’ll talk after entering the tent. There’s something We need you to handle.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. This old servant understands.”

Princess Wei and Royal Princess Duanjia followed after Chu Lian when she returned to her tent.

Princess Wei had even found a female physician with good medical skills to examine Chu Lian again. The female physician also inspected the wounds on her body that had been inconvenient for the male imperial physician to examine.

The physician left a high-quality ointment and prescription. Wenqing helped Chu Lian apply the ointment, while Wenlan went to brew the medicine.

Royal Princess Duanjia was sitting beside the bed. She held onto Chu Lian’s hand, a tinge of fear still evident in her voice as she said, “Chu Liu, you really scared me. If anything bad had happened to you this time, I would have died of guilt.”

Chu Lian forced a smile. “Royal Princess, you shouldn’t say that. Who could have thought that such an accident would occur?”

Royal Princess Duanjia frowned. “I didn’t have a chance to ask you at the polo field, so tell me more about what happened at that time. Why did those two brats, Dong’er and Nan’er, attack you? If I remembered correctly, you’ve never interacted with them before.”

Chu Lian shook her head. She really didn’t have any relationship nor conflict with Prince Hexi’s Estate.

Furthermore, Prince Hexi’s twin daughters had good reputations in public. They were known to be obedient, intelligent, and talented.

She didn’t understand why Prince Hexi’s daughters would harm her at this time.

“Maybe it has something to do with Anmin? Anmin is very close with Leyao, so was it Leyao’s idea?” Royal Princess Duanjia made a guess.

Princess Wei tapped Royal Princess Duanjia on the shoulder. “Although Leyao is ill-natured and spoiled, she isn’t someone who knows how to scheme. This wasn’t something that she would think of doing.”

Princess Wei was right. To put it bluntly, Imperial Princess Leyao was a brainless idiot. This was a detailed plan that had started with the mention of polo and evolved into an actual polo match among the noble ladies. There was also the limit to the selection of players for the match that had made them pick Chu Lian for the team. Lastly, they had targeted Chu Lian on the field. This was a plan with many linked parts. If any one part within this plan failed, then Chu Lian wouldn’t be hurt.

In conclusion, this wasn’t something that Imperial Princess Leyao could devise with that brain of hers.
