The Zheng Palace has been closed to visitors for many days.
In the past, because the male owner of Prince Zheng's mansion was away, the mansion had been closed to visitors for a while. However, when a son was born, in order to alleviate the worries about the whereabouts of Prince Zheng, a banquet was held according to custom.
But it was different now. The entire Zheng Wang Mansion was like a lion dozing with its eyes closed. It had completely lost its vitality. When people walked by the door, they all felt that the inside might be filled with blood.
Everyone knows that just a few days ago, something happened to the Wei family. The princess of Zheng Wangfu was injured by a gunpowder explosion when she went out. If it weren't for her fiancé Shen Chen who rescued her in time, the princess would have lost her life.
After this incident, the already low-key Zheng Wang Mansion became even more lifeless.
In addition, there have been rumors circulating in the capital recently that Prince Zheng is dead. It seems that there is nothing worth being happy about in Prince Zheng's palace now.
The people serving below kept their heads down, as if they were afraid that if they looked up they would hear bad news coming from outside.
When the traitor was captured, everyone in Prince Zheng's mansion was already feeling insecure. Now that the princess was injured, the people under them are even more fearful to do anything.
Ding Xiang carefully lifted the curtain and entered Wei An's room. She immediately saw Shen Chen sitting on the edge of the bed. She quickly bowed to Shen Chen and said softly, "The princess asked us to bring bird's nest to the princess."
Shen Chen nodded, his expression was not very good. Seeing that Ding Xiang had no intention of leaving, he said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. When An An wakes up, I will let her go over to pay her respects."
Dingxiang responded, but when she saw that there was no movement on the bed, she sighed and lifted the curtain again to come out.
Lan He and Yu Qing were sitting listlessly in the corridor embroidering. When they saw her come out, they had no intention of getting up to see her off.
Wei An was their backbone. Once Wei An was injured, they also lost their energy and spirit, and their usual considerate demeanor disappeared. Ding Xiang pursed her lips and said a few words of comfort before leaving.
As soon as she left, Lan He winked at Yu Qing, and when Yu Qing nodded, she lifted the curtain and went into the room, saying to Shen Chen, "My Lord, it's almost time to change the medicine."
Shen Chen nodded, smiled and peeked through the curtain: "How are you? Are you bored? It doesn't feel good to lie down and pretend to be sick, does it?"
He smiled very gently, and his movements were even gentler. He opened the curtain and helped Wei An up. He combed the hair on her forehead and sighed, "Like..."
Wei An glared at him, somewhat annoyed: "Like what?"
She had been lying in the house for many days. Everyone in the palace knew that she was badly injured by the previous explosion. Even when people from the Wei family came, they said that her injuries were not serious, and everyone thought that they were just words to comfort the Wei family.
And since he was seriously injured, there was naturally nothing to dress up for. After all, he was unconscious, so what was the need to dress up
Shen Chen saw her eyes were wide open, and he just thought it was cute. He reached out and poked her forehead: "You little heartless thing, have you forgotten who saved you? And you are still baring your teeth and claws at me like this."
Lan He couldn't help but laugh, and then said to Wei An: "That's right, why did the princess treat the marquis like this? The marquis injured his arm to save you, and it must have left a scar. You should be nicer to him."
Lan He Yuqing and the people who served him saw how Shen Chen treated Wei An these days. They were happy for Wei An and always spoke on Shen Chen's side.
Wei An felt a little embarrassed when he heard that, and then a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He reached out to take the ointment handed over by Lan He, rolled up his sleeves for Shen Chen, and then gently applied the ointment on him.
The wound was red, as if the flesh underneath could be seen if the skin was peeled off. However, Wei An did not find the wound scary. He only felt distressed and guilty: "If it had not been for saving me, you would not have to suffer like this."
At that time, Shen Chen threw himself on her, almost wrapping her up completely. The gunpowder scattered on his back and arms, and he was seriously injured.
But he said nothing, just carried her into the mansion, avoiding the gunpowder that was still exploding and those who wanted to take advantage of the situation and kill them.
In the end, he didn't tell her that he was injured. If Han Bo hadn't come to her crying later, she would have thought that Shen Chen was really fine.
"What's this?" Shen Chen didn't take it seriously at all. Seeing tears in her beautiful eyes, he smiled and said, "You look seriously injured, but it's nothing. I've been injured more seriously than this before, and I didn't take it seriously. Besides, you are my fiancée and my sweetheart. If I don't save you, am I going to watch you get hurt? It's much more painful to be hurt on you than to be hurt on myself."
He was serious. The moment he received the tip-off, he was completely stunned. He didn't care about anything else. His only thought was to save people as soon as possible.
If something happened to Wei An, he had only one thought at that time - he probably wouldn't be able to survive.
Now that Wei Anfen is unharmed, this is the happiest thing for him, and nothing else matters.
Wei An was about to cry even more after hearing what he said. She always felt that it was a burden when others were too nice to her, but Shen Chen's kindness always came so naturally and reassuringly, and she never felt any pressure.
After finally holding back her sobs, she whispered to Shen Chen, "Have you found out who did this?"
It was obvious that these people came here to take their lives. They acted quickly and accurately, and they were able to figure out the time when she went out and her position. They also had to arrange for gunpowder to pass in front of the Zheng Wang Mansion to ensure that it would explode.
This ability, although not all-powerful, is unique in the capital.
Logically speaking, there are only a handful of people who can do this.
Lan He took the gauze and ointment for them and put them aside. She looked at Wei An in confusion and said, "Princess, it's obviously the Marquis who was injured. Why do we have to tell others that you were injured and unconscious?"
Lan He and Yu Qing were also injured. Fortunately, Wen Xiu and Su Ping rushed to rescue them quickly. Otherwise, even if the two girls were not blown into pieces like the others who were close to them, they would definitely have been seriously injured in the end.
Wei An felt irritated when he saw the scar on Lan He's neck. He pursed his lips and asked her softly, "Did you apply the ointment on time? It would be troublesome for a young girl to have a scar. You have to pay attention to it and not be vague."
When Wei An said this, he was just like another old lady Wei. Lan He was afraid that she would be sad, so she quickly defended herself: "I have been using it all the time!" (To be continued)
