zChapter 1146 - Mother And Girlfriend Are In Trouble At The Same Time, Who To Save First? (1/2)
The Sixth Prince coughed up blood, and after that he even swayed a few times. Ren Xifeng was frightened and rushed forward to support him, then she looked at the face of the Sixth Prince which was ghastly pale because he had just coughed up blood. She could not imagine at all that immediately before this, this person had been at court, debating loudly with the ministers and he had even shouted in anger before. In a blink of an eye, he was coughing up blood, could it be that the ample strength he had earlier was all a pretence?
Ren Xifeng stomped her foot in anxiousness, turning her head and opening her mouth, planning to shout loudly to summon an imperial physician. As she opened her mouth, Xuan Tianfeng covered it with one hand.
She looked toward Xuan Tianfeng, confused, but she saw the other party shake his head and he spoke in a weak voice: “Don’t tell anyone, I am fine.” Seeing that Ren Xifeng wanted to speak, wanted to push his hand away, he said again: “Ren family’s Young Miss, first promise me that you would not shout for anyone, then I can let you go.”
Ren Xifeng did not have any other choice and could only nod. Xuan Tianfeng only put his hand down after seeing her agree, then he heard Ren Xifeng say anxiously: “Being this sick, why does Your Highness the Sixth Prince still want to hide this from others?”
Xuan Tianfeng showed a troubled smile, “I only coughed up one mouthful of blood, it is not as serious as you say, I understand my own body, it is not to the degree of troubling an imperial physician. Moreover, once an imperial physician is summoned over this, people’s hearts might feel uneasy again. The current Da Shun cannot withstand such turmoil.”
Xuan Tianfeng had an aura of a refined scholar. When this person was healthy, people would feel that he was physically weak to some extent, just like those scholars outside who held folding fans. Even if he learned martial arts, people would still overlook this point, only thinking that he would fall with one gust of wind. With him really being sick now, others would feel pained seeing him, Ren Xifeng felt that if she let go, this Sixth Prince would fall on the floor, unable to recover from the illness.
She felt anxious and the temper which was cultivated since young from being raised in a General’s family boiled upwards, she wanted to scold the person in front of her, asking if he was stupid? No matter how huge the responsibility was, having a healthy body was the most important! But in the end, she was not that familiar with the Sixth Prince, in the end, the Sixth Prince had the position of Regent now. Even though he did not have the position of crown prince, he was carrying out the duties of crown prince. It was such that the Emperor had already stopped caring about anything, what the Sixth Prince did was what the Emperor should be doing. Ren Xifeng’s intellect told her, she could not speak to the Sixth Prince in such an unreserved manner.
But when some words were not said, it started to feel uncomfortable, and she was feeling conflicted. It was Xuan Tianfeng who spoke first, asking her: “Ren family’s Young Miss, why did you come? This Prince remembers telling the palace servants that no one is allowed to enter the inner hall.”
He was looking to condemn someone!
Ren Xifeng quickly lowered her head and said: “Your Highness the Sixth Prince, I am sorry, This Official’s Daughter convinced the palace servants outside to allow entry, please do not blame them, I came…… came……” She wanted to say that she came because of Feng Yuheng, but when she saw that the corners of the Sixth Prince’s mouth still had blood on them, she could not help but stomp her foot, “Oh my, Your Highness the Sixth Prince, with you like this now, I do not even know if I should tell you about this, what should I do?”
Xuan Tianfeng did not understand, gently pulling away from Ren Xifeng’s arm and sitting back in the chair, that was when he spoke: “Since you came, then say what you need to say! For a lady to enter the imperial palace, it is definitely not an important national affair, you……” As he spoke, a thought entered his mind and a premonition surged forward, “Did something happen to Princess Yu?” He had heard that the relationship between the first daughters of the Prime Minister’s manor and the General’s manor was especially good, and he was not close to these few people, yet this First Miss from the General’s manor suddenly entered the imperial palace. It should not be because of a matter related to herself or the Feng family, then, there was only Feng Yuheng.
Xuan Tianfeng hit the nail on the head, Ren Xifeng could only nod, “Your Highness the Sixth Prince is correct, This Official’s Daughter came because of matters with regards to Princess Yu and wishes to ask Your Highness for help.”
“What happened to her?” This was related to Feng Yuheng, so Xuan Tianfeng lost some composure and even his voice became a lot more anxious.
Ren Xifeng said: “Your Highness the Sixth Prince is sick, since you do not wish to alarm the imperial physicians in the imperial palace, then Ah-Heng is also a physician, just find Ah-Heng and let her take a look at you! You cannot continue holding on like this.”
“This Prince is asking you what happened to Princess Yu?” Xuan Tianfeng’s expression turned cold and he stared at Ren Xifeng, “Speak, what is your purpose for entering the imperial palace?”
Ren Xifeng breathed in sharply, even though she felt some fear at the Sixth Prince’s sudden change of expression, this showed that Feng Tianyu was correct. The relationship between he Sixth Prince and Ah-Heng was rather good. This could be seen from the Sixth Prince’s current anxious expression, it would seem that the reinforcement she looked for was correct!
She breathed in deeply and backed up two steps, then knelt directly towards Xuan Tianfeng, then she said: “This Official’s Daughter entered the imperial palace to ask Your Highness the Sixth Prince to save AH-Heng. If Your Highness the Sixth Prince can find the time, please leave the imperial palace to go to Yu Palace and see her!” Ren Xifeng’s voice had a weeping tone as she spoke and explained everything about Feng Yuheng’s recent behaviour in the capital. This included her suddenly fainting in the streets and being carried back by a hidden guard, shocking Xuan Tianfeng greatly.
“How can this be?” He stood up with a duang, slamming his hand on the table, “Why did no one tell This Prince about such a huge matter? Why doesn’t This Prince know anything?”
