Chapter 737: A woman disguised as a man, a proton, and a foolish marquis (12)
Yu Yan had just been sent back home, and before she even had time to call for the imperial physician, Hua Yanliang had already caught up with her.
Hongye stood aside, looking at her master who was pretending to be sick in bed, and said carefully: "Your Highness, how about letting this servant send Lord Hua away?"
Although Lord Hua is a fool, she is also worried about being exposed!
"No need, let him in."
Yu Yan waved her hand gently, signaling Hongye to bring Hua Yanliang into the house.
When Hua Yanliang followed Hongye in with tears in his eyes, he saw Yu Yan lying on the bed and burst into tears immediately.
His grief-stricken look was even more sad than if his own father had died.
He rushed to Yu Yan's bedside, stretched out his hands and shook her body vigorously, and asked with a sob, "Third Prince, you must not die! If you die, I will have no friends anymore. Woo woo woo..."
"My friend, are you trying to murder me? Even if I'm not dead yet, I'm about to be shaken to death by you."
Yu Yan was dizzy from his shaking and could only stare at him with resentful eyes.
You know what, he really acted like a fool.
Hua Yanliang had no idea that Yu Yan was complaining about her in her heart. After hearing what Yu Yan said, she was so scared that she immediately let go of her hand and didn't dare to touch her again. She just stared at her eagerly.
"You're not going to die, are you?"
"will not."
Yu Yan shook her head. Her face was very pale at this moment, silently revealing a kind of fragility, which made her look even more beautiful.
If there are beauty bloggers around, they will definitely exclaim, this sick beauty makeup is so amazing and beautiful.
Hua Yanliang also thought so, because he was staring at Yu Yan's face blankly with his eyes wide open.
The third prince is truly handsome, worthy of being the most handsome man in the Southern Border Kingdom.
Fortunately, he is a fool now, so no one would feel offended even if he stared directly at the Third Prince's face. After all, who would bother with a fool?
However, at this moment, Yu Yan suddenly said, "If you keep staring at my face like this, I will tie you up and throw you on the street so that all the people in the capital can have a good look at you."
Hua Yanliang was stunned for a moment, his face full of question marks: "???"
He really couldn't understand why someone would be so serious with a fool?
He couldn't help but whispered back, "You're good-looking, that's why I'm looking at you."
Yu Yan did not respond to him, but turned to Hongye beside her and said, "Hongye, go get the bronze mirror."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Hongye took action immediately and quickly retrieved the bronze mirror.
After Yu Yan took the bronze mirror, she gave Hongye a wink. Hongye understood and quickly stuffed the bronze mirror into Hua Yanliang's hands.
Yu Yan looked at Hua Yanliang indifferently and said firmly: "Since you like good-looking people, then hold this mirror and take a good look at your own face!"
Hua Yanliang was speechless for a moment. He could only hold the mirror silently and stand aside feeling aggrieved.
In less than an incense stick of time, the imperial physician came hurriedly, and with him came the eunuch who was close to the Emperor Beiyi.
After the imperial physician carefully took Yu Yan's pulse, his brows remained furrowed, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.
After he finished writing the prescription and explained to Yu Yan in detail the usage and precautions, he left with his personal eunuch.
After all, he left the palace this time to treat the third prince of the Southern Border Kingdom, and he had to return to the palace to report the condition to the emperor.
After the imperial physician left, Hua Yanliang could not wait to get close to Yu Yan and said with concern: "Third Prince, you must take the medicine on time. When I come to visit you again tomorrow, I will bring you some candied fruit to relieve the bitter taste in your mouth."
Yu Yan smiled and replied, "Thank you very much, Lord Hua."
Hua Yanliang smiled and waved his hands, revealing an innocent look, "You're welcome, we are good friends!"
*
On the other side, the atmosphere was completely different. There was no trace of the warm and harmonious atmosphere between Yu Yan and Hua Yanliang.
The Emperor of the North Wing sat high above, majestic and solemn, while the imperial physician knelt trembling on the cold ground.
"The Third Prince of the Southern Border was already weak and sickly, and now he has been severely beaten, his health is getting worse. If he is not carefully taken care of, I am afraid he will not live long."
The imperial physician lowered his head and reported with a slightly trembling voice.
The Emperor of Beiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes. He gently stroked the jade ring on his thumb, and the expression on his face seemed a little uncertain.
"You mean to say that he was indeed beaten? And that his injuries were quite serious?"
The emperor's voice was low and serious, with a hint of barely perceptible anger.
The imperial physician's forehead was pressed tightly against the smooth marble floor, with beads of sweat on it. He replied in fear and trepidation, "Your Majesty, according to the pulse of the Third Prince of the Southern Border, this is indeed the case."
After hearing what the imperial physician said, Emperor Beiyi suddenly burst into a cold laugh, which revealed deep dissatisfaction and disappointment.
"That is to say, I originally wanted to get a beloved prince as a hostage, but I didn't expect to get a sickly and weak child. Not only can I not torture and suppress him, but I also have to serve him with great care."
The emperor's words were full of sarcasm, as if all this was an absurd farce.
His eyes swept coldly over the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, as if blaming him for not discovering and reporting the problem in time.
The imperial physician felt the emperor's gaze and his heart tightened. For the moment, he could only kneel on the ground silently, not daring to respond.
He knew that the emperor was in a bad mood at the moment and any careless words might cause even greater anger.
After an unknown amount of time, the Northern Wing Emperor finally said slowly, "Alright, you can leave now!"
The imperial physician felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly stood up, bowed, and left.
The Emperor of Beiyi looked at the departing figure of the imperial physician, his eyes flickering, as if he was lost in deep thought.
He slowly turned his head, his eyes fell on the personal eunuch beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think that if the third prince of the Southern Border Kingdom dies in our Northern Wing Kingdom, will the Southern Border Emperor start a war again because of his son?"
"I don't know."
The personal eunuch knelt on the ground in fear, his body trembling slightly and a look of horror on his face.
The Emperor of Beiyi waved his hand and said impatiently: "Alright, get up! I was just asking casually."
However, in reality, how could he not know the answer?
It has been less than half a month since the third prince of the Southern Border Kingdom came to the Northern Wing. If he were to die in the Northern Wing, both the emperor of the Southern Border Kingdom and the ordinary people would be extremely angry.
It is even possible to take this opportunity to recapture the lost city in one fell swoop.
If he were the emperor of the Southern Territory, no matter how much sincerity he had for his son, he would seize this opportunity, spread the news widely, and arouse the anger of the people and soldiers against the enemy, so as to launch an attack in one go.
Emperor Beiyi thought of his eldest princess Qing'an's youngest son and sneered, "This idiot is really tired of living."
The personal eunuch listened to his words silently, not daring to say a word. At this moment, he wished he were deaf.
An hour later, Emperor Beiyi issued an edict that Xiao Huan be caned fifty times and that all the medicines used to treat the Third Prince be borne by Xiao Huan.
In addition, Duke Xiao was punished with 30 strokes of the cane and a three-year salary deduction for failing to educate his children.
When Princess Qing'an received the imperial edict, she was staggering. After she came to her senses, she ran straight to the palace.
However, she did not see her royal brother who had always loved her. Instead, she was called over by the empress dowager and scolded.
After Princess Qing'an left the palace, she fell ill.
The next day, everyone knew that the Third Prince of the Southern Border Kingdom was already weak, and after being beaten by Xiao Huan, he became even weaker and could not withstand any more torture.
The children of the powerful and wealthy all silently withdrew their claws, after all, they didn't want to become the second Xiao Huan!
A month later, the Emperor of the Southern Border Kingdom learned about this matter and blatantly sent an imperial physician over, along with a letter.
No one knows the content of the letter. All we know is that after reading the letter, Emperor Beiyi smashed the entire imperial study.
The next day, Duke Xiao's Mansion was in trouble again.
