Shocked, in an instant, her body seemed to be injected with strength. Even though she was very weak, she saw the face of the man in front of her in her blurred vision, "Shangguan Jingcong?"
Xia Wang's handsome face was slightly twisted, his eyes were deep red, and he was obviously extremely angry. He wiped his eyes and wet them slightly. He gently touched her forehead with his lips and quickly took out something from the bundle that he had prepared beside him...
"I... will change it myself."
King Xia turned around immediately, and Qiao Chu took off his wet clothes tremblingly, but his hands suddenly felt cold, it turned out that tears could not stop falling from his eyes.
Every time she needed help the most, it was always him, not others, not Shangguan Jinghong...
hall.
Falling to the ground, staring at the figures walking away in the courtyard, the man smiled under his stern face and gently closed his eyes. He had already expected this result.
The stick fell heavily on his body. It was Cao Zhaonan who carried out the punishment according to the order of Emperor Huang. Everyone stood on the side, while Prince Ning and Prince Rui's people knelt on the ground.
After the punishment, he went to find her.
The emperor was furious, and the words he sneered at are still ringing in our ears.
"Hmph, assassin?! Hai Bing, go and see what the Ninth Brother is up to. The Crown Prince's Mansion has no power to defend itself, so why did you, Prince Rui, mobilize so many troops? Eighth Brother, I am sick, but I am not confused or dead! Now that you have power, you actually instigated your brothers and sisters to provoke your second brother. If I don't stop this, do you think that I have tacitly appointed you as the crown prince? You have changed, you can't even wait, I haven't expressed my position yet, and you are anxious, who are you trying to test!"
"I will take back your military power today. Jinghao, you will take over the military power temporarily. I will punish you with 100 strokes of the cane as a warning. If you do it again, I will not forgive you easily. After the punishment, go back to your Ruiwang Mansion. Starting tomorrow, you don't have to attend court anymore."
Chapter 328
Prince Xia's Palace, Prince Xia's bedroom.
"Jingcong, you're back? Who... are you holding?"
Yinping stood up from the couch in surprise, staring at the person in King Xia's arms—an ordinary-looking man.
"Didn't I tell you to go back? Why are you in my room?"
King Xia came in holding Qiaochu, and was shocked when he saw Yinping. His eyebrows narrowed and his tone became heavy.
"I wanted to give you a surprise, so I sneaked in here to wait for you..." Yinping felt aggrieved, but her eyes were staring at the unconscious Qiaochu with curiosity.
Qiaochu felt a sharp pain in his body. Just at this moment, Youyou woke up and murmured unconsciously, "It hurts..."
When Yin Ping heard the voice, she was startled, and then she strode to King Xia, stretched out her hand to break Qiao Chu, and asked angrily, "Jing Cong, who is she?"
Xia Jiu was no longer the Xia Jiu of that day, but his emotions were still immersed in the scene of Qiaochu curled up in the corner of the bed covered in blood, terrified and helpless. Seeing Yinping touching her, he suddenly felt pain and anger. He slightly turned his body and said coldly, "You go back first."
Buttercup: "What did you say?"
Yin Ping stared at him in disbelief. They had known each other for a long time. She liked him and he was very doting on her. She had never heard such a tone of voice before. She got anxious and angrily asked Qiao Chu, "Who is she?"
"roll!"
King Xia was furious and quickly avoided her.
Yinping was stunned.
"Xia Jiu, you are cruel!"
She gritted her teeth, slammed the door and left.
Qiaochu had regained some consciousness by this time. She felt guilty, "Master Jiu, I'm sorry, it's me..."
King Xia shook his head, with a hint of pity and doting in his eyes, "It has nothing to do with you, it's me."
He saw Qiaochu close her eyes tiredly, and immediately strode over and put her on his bed. At this time, Xia Zongguan led the palace doctor to knock on the door. This doctor used to be a palace doctor. King Xia wanted her out to treat the women in the palace.
She felt Qiaochu's pulse for a while, then said in a trembling voice, "How could this happen? The child clearly had no pulse, so why did he suddenly have some weak reaction?"
"Can it be cured? Can the child be saved?" King Xia hesitated for a moment and finally asked.
"Master, it was fine at first, but this... Madam's body has obviously been through intense movements, so I am not sure."
"Child..." Qiaochu murmured in his sleep as if he heard her voice.
When King Xia thought of the dead female doctor in the room when he saved Qiaochu, his heart ached again. He closed his eyes and ordered in a deep voice: "Make sure to save the lady and the child."
The female doctor was horrified when she heard the murderous tone in his voice.
After she had been applying acupuncture for a while, Qiaochu suddenly woke up with a "wow", his brows furrowed, sweat constantly oozing from his forehead, and he looked in extreme pain.
King Xia was startled, and he grabbed the female doctor away, gently embraced Qiaochu in his arms, and asked angrily, "What's wrong with her?"
The female doctor trembled as she looked at the blood gushing out of Qiaochu's lower body, and just shook her head desperately in fear.
King Xia was terrified, but he suppressed his fear and immediately looked at Chief Butler Xia, "Go and invite King Rui. No matter how urgent his situation is, you must get him over!"
Chaoge Street.
The emperor's carriage was already far ahead, and a carriage was moving slowly behind it.
Inside the carriage, everyone looked at Shangguan Jinghong, who had been keeping his head down and silent. His back and right leg were covered in blood. Shangguan Jinghong did not use his internal strength to resist, because that would only make the emperor angrier. Cao Zhaonan also had a plan, and he started beating him, picking his right leg, but the emperor did not stop him.
Everyone was worried. Without medicine, even Shangguan Jinghong would not be able to heal his wound, so Lao Tie had to bandage it hastily.
After the emperor had completed the caning, he was still furious and ordered Shangguan Jinghong and his party to reflect on their mistakes in Changfei Palace and to see their true identities clearly.
"Master... why didn't you defend yourself just now?" Jing Qing thought of all the efforts over the years that had gone to waste. She was overwhelmed with grief, and worried about Shangguan Jinghong's injury, so she cried softly.
"How do you argue?"
Shangguan Jinghong asked back calmly, and then fell silent.
Jingping saw that he kept his hands in his arms, not knowing what he was touching.
"She came out. I wonder if anything happened. Did you see her just now?"
Shangguan Jinghong suddenly looked up, his voice a little hoarse.
Everyone was stunned and shook their heads.
"Well, she is with Xia Jiu for now. Xia Jiu will keep her safe."
No one knew how to respond. Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves rushing past. Shangguan Jinghong immediately reached out and lifted the curtain.
"Eighth Master, I just asked the people in the Prince's Mansion and found out that you entered the palace. Thank God, I finally found you."
Outside the curtain was the steward of the Xia Mansion, who spoke in a low voice.
Everyone saw Shangguan Jinghong's eyes change color, and he reached out to grab Manager Xia's collar, "But what happened to her?"
"Madam... she has lost a lot of blood and is in great pain now. The prince had someone give her medicine. I'm afraid the child... can't be saved. Hurry..."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but they saw a flash of a green robe in the carriage, and Shangguan Jinghong had jumped off the carriage and disappeared in an instant.
"Master, this is disobeying the order—" Jing Qing was shocked, but he instinctively took a breath and said in a trembling voice.
…
Before he could finish his words, a military officer shouted in front of him, "The Emperor asks, what happened back there?"
Xia Palace.
"Qiaochu, don't be afraid, the starling will be here soon, you and the child will be fine..."
Looking at the man who was hugging her tightly and whispering comforting words, Qiaochu's mind went blank and she laughed softly, "Shangguan Jinghong..."
"Well, he—"
"Don't talk about him."
Her whole body was cold, and she endured the pain and raised her voice to stop it. Suddenly, her eyes went dark again. Suddenly, she heard a creaking sound, and the door was pushed open, and someone rushed in quickly.

Although she clearly didn't want to see him again, when she heard the sound, opened her eyes, and saw the person running in, her heart still trembled inexplicably. She could no longer describe the feeling between the two of them.
The female doctor had been sent out by King Xia, and Chief Steward Xia quickly closed the door. Shangguan Jinghong was a few steps away from her, looking at her with greedy eyes, filled with too many emotions, shock, but more of heartache and a flash of intense hatred.
He was usually very neat and tidy, but at this moment he was covered in blood, especially on his right leg.
Suddenly, she couldn't help feeling as if something was stabbing her heart.
His gaze suddenly became somewhat fierce and fell on King Xia's hands that were around her.
King Xia pursed his lips and carefully placed Qiaochu on the bed. "I'll ask the female doctor to leave the medicine box. You—"
When Geng saw the medicine box in Shangguan Jinghong's hand, he was stunned and stopped talking. In a short time, he went back to the mansion to get the medicine box...
"It's inconvenient for you to stay here, please go out first."
Shangguan Jinghong walked over quickly, with a hint of severity in his eyes, but his gaze immediately fell on Qiaochu, with a look of deep sorrow.
"The Chinese medicine doctor in my house said that she was not injured that badly... She killed the woman who drugged her for your child, which damaged her tendons, but there seems to be an unknown force supporting her body." King Xia looked at Qiaochu deeply, and saw Shangguan Jinghong's back tremble slightly, and said, "Old Nine, go get some hot water." He did not hesitate any longer, led Xia Zongguan out, and closed the door.
With warm lips, he landed on her lips quickly without any warning. Qiaochu opened her eyes with a start, and then was made to vomit by the strong smell of sweat that suddenly invaded her.
Shangguan Jinghong had taken off the iron mask and placed it next to her pillow.
His forehead was covered with sweat, his face was a little pale, and beads of sweat fell on her body, as if he had gone through mountains and rivers and a long journey. He looked at her deeply, with pain in his eyes, "I know it hurts, you are very brave, leave the rest to me. I will help you heal, and our child will be fine."
He looked at her and smiled bitterly: "I'm dirty and smell bad, please bear with me..."
When Qiaochu heard this, his eyelashes trembled and he closed his eyes.
Even though she didn't want them to have any connection anymore, she knew that only he could save the child.
Shangguan Jinghao! Shangguan Jinghong's eyes turned fierce, and he held Qiaochu's hand with his big hand. Suddenly, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If the child is gone, they...
Maybe he didn't really love the child that much, he just loved... her.
These days and nights, he had imagined countless times the scene of the two meeting again. He thought, he would definitely scold her severely. Did she know what kind of trouble she had gotten into this time? Did she ever think about the anger he felt when Shangguan Jinghao touched her? But now...
He never thought that she would kill someone.
No matter who is right or wrong, no matter whether she is unclean or not, no matter what, he will never let go in his life...
He endured the pain in his body, rolled up his sleeves, suppressed the trembling in his heart, and performed the most difficult surgery in his life...
When he was cleaning her lower body, his heart ached again and again. After he gave her acupuncture, fed her pills, and wrote a prescription and asked King Xia to boil the medicine, his eyes were sore and painful due to the sweat. He sat down tiredly and held her in his arms.
She has fallen asleep.
Tired.
These days, she was too nervous.
With his big hand on the back of her head, he kissed her lips deeply, softening the dryness there.
My hands are still shaking a little.
Fortunately, the child was saved. Or perhaps it should be said that the child was fine, but his pulse was temporarily silent.
What had she taken
That thing made it impossible for him to see her fetal breathing at a glance that day, and also neutralized most of the medicinal properties of the abortion drug, only damaging the membrane wall in her body and causing bleeding.
And this child was also strange. When he was quiet, he was extremely quiet. If he hadn't used the golden needle to guide and elicit a slight reaction from the little thing, other people who took its pulse would have thought it was as quiet as death.
He frowned and suddenly thought of someone.
Luzon.
"Old Eight, how is she? Once her condition stabilizes, you must return immediately. Father is furious."
Prince Ning's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Prince Ning also took the risk to come over to inform Shangguan Jinghong. Are they going to separate after just meeting
He had planned and calculated all night, knowing the outcome, but he was still very calm, without a trace of confusion, even if things got harder in the future. But at this moment, he couldn't bear to let her go.
It felt like some powerful force was trying to take her away from him.
He put on his iron mask, became ruthless, and kissed her hard.
Qiaochu was awakened by the pain and itchiness in his mouth, and in a daze he just tried to struggle with Shangguan Jinghong.
"Qiaochu, I'll ask my fifth brother to secretly send you back home first. I'll be back soon."
"I... am not going back."
"Where are you going if you don't go back? Do you know how much effort I put into rescuing you?"
Qiaochu stared at Shangguan Jinghong's hand, which was still stained with blood. This operation must be difficult. He raised his head and said softly, "Thank you. I want to rest now. Is that ok?"
Between them, it turned out that nothing he could do could make up for it? She didn't even want to hear him say one more word... Shangguan Jinghong's blood seemed to freeze in an instant, and the words "I only want you" that were about to come out of his mouth were beaten back by her indifferent gaze.
Qiaochu lowered her head subconsciously, but only for a brief moment. For some reason, his desolate look stabbed her again.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and King Xia, King Ning, Lao Tie and others walked in.
He laughed at himself, but still didn't seem to look at Prince Ning, "Fifth brother, send Qiaochu back first."
"Shangguan Jinghong, Qiaochu will stay with me first."
King Xia interrupted him coldly, "You entered the palace and you don't know where you are going to stay.
