Chapter 185 - Ninth Imperial Uncle Got Injured (1/2)

Jing Yue found people in the palace seemingly all gone when she went back home. She looked around the Mansion where all lights were on, which aroused her confusion. As she arrived at the Lotus Garden and found nobody there as well, she felt more puzzled.

“Yin Qiao…Yin Qiao!” Jing Yue called loudly.

“Your Highness, you come back finally!” Yin Qiao hurried out of the Lotus Garden. She almost burst into tears the moment she saw Jing Yue.

“What happened? Why are you crying?” asked Jing Yue, staring at Yin Qiao with her eyebrows frowned.

“Your Highness…Ninth Imperial Uncle got injured.” Yin Qiao looked at Jing Yue and answered, her eyes brimming with tears.

“What?!” Jing Yue was shocked and felt a sting in her heart. She asked for the whereabouts of Xiao Chen at once and hurried to the living house of Lotus Garden after knowing that Xiao Chen was lying there now. When she arrived, she found all other people were gathering in the courtyard. Xing Yi and Xing Er looked weird when they saw Jing Yue come back. They bowed to Jing Yue slightly.

“What happened to Ninth Imperial Uncle?” Jing Yue asked, looking at the closed door behind which Xiao Chen was healing himself.

“His Highness got injured on the way when looking for you. His Highness was now treated inside.” Xing Yi stared at Jing Yue with his lips pressing tightly together and answered stiffly. Jing Yue could clearly feel Xing Yi’s dissatisfaction to her.

“How is Xiao Chen?” Jing Yue took a deep breath and continued to ask.

“The wound is not severe enough to kill His Highness.” Xing Yi was probably too angry to respect Jing Yue. His tone made Jing Yue somehow fell so awkward that she lowered her head. As she was going to ask for more information, the door was opened. The doctor came out and gave details about Xiao Chen’s injury, depending on which Jing Yue got to know that Xiao Chen was actually injured by a sword and now the wound had been treated well.

Hearing Xiao Chen not injured seriously, Jing Yue sighed with relief and wanted to go inside to see Xiao Chen. However, her way was blocked By Xing Yi.
