Chapter 214 The Prince is Injured
September 5th, Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Qi Siyue, the eldest daughter of the Qi family and the future Crown Princess, has been staying at home all this time, concentrating on embroidering her wedding dress.
Everything in the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with her, and no matter what happened, she seemed indifferent.
Even though she was frequently invited to attend various events in the imperial capital's circle of noble ladies, she always refused, as if these lively social occasions could no longer attract her attention.
Prime Minister Qi warned her many times: "Marrying into the royal family safely and becoming the Crown Princess is the most important thing for you."
Qi Siyue sat in the room, quietly embroidering her wedding dress. The red silk thread shuttled through her hands, and every stitch contained her expectations and visions for her future life.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and then the door was pushed open suddenly.
She looked up in surprise and saw her personal maid Xiao Cui running in hurriedly, her face pale.
"Miss, it's bad! There's news from the palace that the Crown Prince...he's been seriously injured and is in critical condition!"
Xiao Cui said breathlessly.
Qi Siyue's hands were shaking, and the needle and thread in her hands slipped and fell to the ground.
Her heart felt like it was torn apart and was in unbearable pain, as if someone had cut her heart with a sharp knife.
Her eyes widened, filled with shock and disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes and threatening to fall at any moment.
"How could this happen? Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince an expert in martial arts?" she asked in a trembling voice.
Xiao Cui shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes:
"The details are still unclear, but I heard that the injuries are very serious and His Majesty has ordered full medical treatment."
Qi Siyue's heart was in a turmoil. She stood up, staggering.
"I'm going to the palace to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," she said firmly.
Xiao Cui quickly supported her and said, "Miss, the palace must be in chaos right now. You may not be able to see the Crown Prince even if you go there. It is better to wait until the situation is more stable before going."
Qi Siyue bit her lip and said, "No, I want to go right away. Xiao Cui, help me get ready, I want to go to the palace right away."
Qi Siyue ignored Xiao Cui's dissuasion, insisted on changing into plain clothes, and hurried towards the palace.
However, when she arrived at the palace, she found it heavily guarded and the guards blocked her way.
"I am the daughter of Prime Minister Qi, and I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Qi Siyue said anxiously.
The guards looked at each other, and one of them said awkwardly:
"His Royal Highness is resting and no one is allowed to disturb him. Miss, please go back."
Qi Siyue refused to give up, "I am the Crown Prince's fiancée, please let me in!"
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a majestic voice came: "What's going on?"
Qi Siyue turned her head and saw a middle-aged man walking towards her. He was the fifth uncle of the current emperor.
Qi Siyue quickly knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to Prince Jing. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured, so I came to visit him."
Prince Jing looked her over and said slowly:
"Your Highness needs to rest and should not see guests. If you have anything to say, you may as well tell me."
Qi Siyue hesitated for a moment and replied in a sad voice:
"My daughter has been embroidering wedding dresses all day, and has not seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for several months.
I finally waited for the wedding to come, but was shocked to hear that the Crown Prince was injured. I was so worried, how could I not come to visit him? "
Prince Jing was slightly moved after hearing this, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. Well, follow me in."
