Chapter 718 Trust
Seeing Bai Qingyan was about to get up, Quan Yu hurried forward to support Bai Qingyan. After Bai Qingyan thanked Quan Yu, he bowed to the prince and said, “The reason why Bai Qingyan knew that Xiliang had sent troops was because… the steward my mother sent to Dengzhou to deliver the New Year gift was my mother’s dowry, so my mother allowed him to return to Shuoyang after the first month of the year. The steward returned to Shuoyang on February 13th. Bai Qingyan sent Lupin to persuade the prince that day… We cannot stay out of this matter. We must put pressure on Xiliang. If your highness the prince does not believe it… you can send people to Shuoyang to investigate. If Bai Qingyan says even a single word of falsehood, he will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death.”
“Princess Zhenguo’s words are too harsh!” The prince hurriedly supported Bai Qingyan, “Princess Zhenguo risked her life to save me. I will never and cannot doubt Princess Zhenguo even if I doubt anyone! Mr. Fang… why don’t you apologize to Princess Zhenguo!”
The prince turned around and got angry at Mr. Fang.
Bai Qingyan took a step back and bowed to the prince: “Your Highness, there is no need to apologize. Bai Qingyan has been riding all the way here and I am exhausted. I will take my leave first! All the guards of the Bai family are here… Mr. Fang, please feel free to interrogate me.”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan bowed, stepped back, turned around and stepped out of the threshold.
Old Fang did not expect Bai Qingyan to leave so decisively, and he was stunned for a moment.
“Princess Zhenguo!” The prince took a few steps forward and called out.
Bai Qingyan suddenly stopped, holding onto the vermilion red pillar with lotus carvings on the base, his body shaking as he covered his lips with his hands and coughed. Quan Yu hurried forward to support Bai Qingyan, but Bai Qingyan covered his chest with his hands, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.
“Princess Zhenguo! Princess Zhenguo! Your Highness…” Quan Yu was in a panic, staggering and supporting Bai Qingyan to the ground, “Your Highness, what should we do!”
“Where’s the imperial physician?!” The prince hurriedly stepped out of the door and shouted, “Where’s the imperial physician?! Has the imperial physician arrived?! Quick…carry the princess to the side hall first! Quick!”
Quan Yu responded with tears in his eyes, but before he could pick up Bai Qingyan, the Bai family guards who were summoned saw their eldest daughter lying on the ground with blood all over her clothes.
The Bai family guard opened his eyes wide and ignored etiquette. He jumped out of the corridor, stepped on the flowers and plants and ran straight to Bai Qingyan. He pushed Quan Yu away and said, “Miss! Miss!”
“Take Princess Zhenguo to the side hall first!” The prince said hurriedly without even bothering to scold the Bai family guards for their rudeness.
The Bai family guard picked up Bai Qingyan without saying a word and ran to the side hall.
Soon the imperial physician arrived. After checking Bai Qingyan’s pulse, he was quite shocked. After taking the pulse pillow, he stood up tremblingly and bowed to the crown prince: “Your Highness, the princess was seriously injured in her early years and her foundation was damaged. Later, she was shot through the heart by an arrow and her heart and lungs were damaged. If she takes good care of herself, she may be able to prolong her life. However, the cold air invaded her body along the way, and she was overworked, which triggered her old illness… I’m afraid…”
“What are you afraid of?!” The prince was furious. “I’m telling you, I have nothing to be afraid of! I want you to treat the Princess Zhenguo well. If anything happens to the Princess Zhenguo, I will send your whole family to Huayang City!”
The imperial physician shuddered and knelt at the prince’s feet: “Your Highness, please have mercy! I will definitely treat Princess Zhenguo well, but Princess Zhenguo already has an old illness. Even if Imperial Physician Huang is afraid, he can’t do anything. She can only rely on medicine to take care of her. I really…”
Seeing Bai Qingyan slowly opening her eyes while lying on the couch, Quan Yu hurriedly called out, “Your Highness! Your Highness…Princess Zhenguo is awake!”
“Miss!” The Bai family guard who was kneeling beside straightened his back and looked at the couch.
“Princess Zhenguo, how are you?” The prince hurried over and asked Bai Qingyan, his heart full of regret. He shouldn’t have doubted Bai Qingyan.
“Your Highness, there is no need to embarrass the imperial physician. I know my own body well…” Bai Qingyan said as she propped herself up with one hand. Quan Yu hurried forward to help her up.
The prince’s hand tightened at his side: “Actually, you don’t have to come here in person for this matter. Sending someone else will do the same thing!”
“Bai Qingyan has ordered people to disobey the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without authorization. He deserves death a thousand times. How can I not come and apologize to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person?” Bai Qingyan covered his heart and nodded slightly to the Crown Prince.
“What are you talking about! You did it all for me… Don’t I know?” The prince sighed, “This time it’s Mr. Fang’s fault. I will definitely ask him to come and apologize to you.”
Bai Qingyan shook his head: “It’s all for the Crown Prince, it’s reasonable for Elder Fang to ask one more question…”
“I know you are magnanimous and don’t care, but you risked your life to save me, and he is trying to gain a little trust…” The prince frowned and looked like he couldn’t continue.
“Your Highness…” Bai Qingyan, with pale lips, looked at the prince and said, “Bai Qingyan is far away in Shuoyang. Your Highness needs to rely on counselors like Old Fang more often. It is better not to make Old Fang feel uncomfortable just for Bai Qingyan. Bai Qingyan is not as old as Old Fang, but he thinks he is more open-minded than Old Fang, so he really doesn’t mind.”
A young eunuch came running in breathlessly, knelt down at the door and shouted, “Your Highness! Your Highness… The Crown Princess has started!”
“It’s started!” The prince’s eyebrows lit up with joy, and he looked at Bai Qingyan again, “Well, you take a rest in this side hall first, and I’ll go see the Crown Princess!”
Bai Qingyan looked at the Bai family guard who was kneeling beside him. The guard hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to help Bai Qingyan up.
“Prince, please go and take a look. Bai Qingyan will not bother you anymore in your residence. I will go back to Princess Zhenguo’s residence first.” Bai Qingyan said to the prince.
At this time, the Crown Princess was about to give birth, and the Crown Prince really didn’t have time to talk to Bai Qingyan any more. He nodded and instructed Quan Yu to send a carriage to personally take Bai Qingyan back to the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion, and then left in a hurry.
Quan Yu asked the imperial physician to follow Bai Qingyan all the way to the Princess Zhenguo’s residence. Second Madam Liu saw the blood on Bai Qingyan’s clothes and almost fell down: “What’s going on?! What’s going on?!”
“Second Madam, just now I sent someone to inform you to prepare a sedan chair for Princess Zhenguo…I wonder if it has been prepared?” Quan Yu asked after paying his respects.
“It’s ready! It’s ready!” Liu tightly grasped Luo’s hand, “Quick! The sedan chair!”
“Don’t worry, Second Aunt! I’m fine…” Bai Qingyan curled his lips and smiled lightly to comfort Liu.
Fortunately, the Grand Princess and Bai Jinse are both in Qing’an now, so they won’t be worried when they see Bai Qingyan like this.
Liu was supported by Nanny Luo all the way into Qinghui Courtyard. She helped Bai Qingyan lie down and asked Nanny Luo to personally send Quanyu out: “Eunuch Quanyu, I’m really sorry. My eldest sister is in this state. I really don’t dare to leave. I can only let Nanny Luo send you out. Please forgive me!”
Quan Yu bowed hastily, saying that he dared not do so. He looked into the inner room out of concern before leaving with Nanny Luo.
“Second Aunt…I’m really fine!” Bai Qingyan propped himself up and sat up.
