Hearing the clip-clop of a horse’s hooves, Shi Qingxue raised her head in surprise at once and then saw a dark brown fast horse running to them step by step.

It didn’t run fast, as if intentionally restraining its instinct to run just to protect the master.

Qingxue finally noticed that somebody was on the fast horse’s back.

That man was dressed in a deep-colored long robe, lying on the horse’s back like a puppet without strings. His arms and legs hung feebly on the ground, and he was like a dead person.

Shi Qingxue didn’t see the man’s face clearly, but the familiar robe was enough to make her feel cold on her back. Her heart beat fast and almost jumped to her throat.

Shi Qingxue walked to him quickly and grabbed the man’s hand anxiously. “What’s wrong with you?”

The man lying on the horse’s back finally opened his eyelids from a coma and narrowed his eyes. It seemed that it took him some time before he saw the comer clearly.

Then he opened his dry lips and spoke out two words with difficulty. “Save him!”

Before Shi Qingxue asked who “he” was, the man’s face tilted, and he fell into a coma.

“Your Highness!” Shi Qingxue called in surprise and decisively helped him off the horse’s back with Dong Shuang.

However, as a girl, she was unable to carry a strong man. They had to wait for Wei Zichao to take him back to the room and then send for a doctor.

It was the old doctor who had treated Ye Zhixin.

After the doctor arrived, he checked the patient’s pulse and made a prescription…

When everything was finished, it was almost at noon.

Ye Zhixin finally couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “My Lady, won’t we go to Shang Village?”

Shi Qingxue had something on her mind and didn’t want to conceal Ye Zhixin’s intention. She asked casually, “What? Are you so anxious to save your dream lover, His Excellency?”

Then Ye Zhixin’s face turned red like a tomato in an instant.

It was unnecessary to give the answer, and Ye Zhixin still exposed herself unwittingly while trying to cover up. She waved her hand to deny it. “No. I am just worried that His Excellency is in danger. I don’t mean anything else. Please don’t misunderstand me, My Lady.”

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

She was confused. She didn’t say anything but her attitude was casual, while Ye Zhixin behaved as if Shi Qingxue was jealous and found that they had an affair, although she qualified to.

Shi Qingxue shook her head and stopped herself from imaging wildly. She didn’t say anything useless to Ye Zhixin but told Dong Shuang, “Send Miss Ye back to her room and take good care of her.”

Her hidden meaning was telling Dong Shuang to prevent Ye Zhixin from pestering her.

Dong Shuang blinked and understood it in an instant. She answered yes happily and then said with an attitude that couldn’t be refused, “Miss Ye, please go back.”

Ye Zhixin was unwilling to leave and said bashfully, “But I want to ask His Highness about His Excellency after he wakes up.”

She was so worried, as if she were Mo Junyang’s future wife.

Dong Shuang rolled her eyes. She wouldn’t have scruple but asked casually, “What does it have to do with you?”

It was Ye Zhixin’s turn to be rendered speechless, and the worried expression on her face twisted.

Soon she showed that she nursed a grievance and sobbed. “No. I don’t mean anything else. I am just worried…”

“Do you qualify to?” Dong Shuang snorted and didn’t give Ye Zhixin time to play a pure girl.

Her cold and cruel attitude told Ye Zhixin clearly that she couldn’t pretend to be pitiful in front of her.

Afterward, she didn’t give Ye Zhixin a chance to explain away but pulled her out forcefully.

Shi Qingxue watched Dong Shuang’s actions and couldn’t help giving her maid a thumbs-up sign. “Dong Shuang, you are awesome.”

Shi Qingxue was supposed to be reserved, and with her identity, she couldn’t bother about Ye Zhixin for many things.

She didn’t care about her image, yet she couldn’t rush over and kick anybody out when the latter showed love for Mo Junyang.

Her future husband was so excellent. If nobody admired him, others would comment, right?

If they were sensible, they would retreat after seeing Shi Qingxue and at least wouldn’t come close to them and annoy her like what Ye Zhixin did.

Fortunately, Dong Shuang was good at coping with the affected women who pretended to be pure and drove her away after saying only a few words.

Wei Zichao aside pretended to be invisible. Hearing Shi Qingxue’s praise, he finally showed a smile on his cold face and echoed in a low voice, “She is nice.”

Shi Qingxue was unable to reply.

She was depressed. What should she do when she suddenly saw others displaying affection?

Shi Qingxue suddenly realized that perhaps this young maid wouldn’t be hers soon.

At the moment, the old doctor finally finished writing the prescription and gave it to Shi Qingxue, reminding, “His Highness is in a coma after having a serious internal injury. You need to buy medicinal materials according to the prescription and feed him three times every day. Just let him take medicine for two days in succession to firm his foundation first.”

Shi Qingxue handed the prescription to Dong Shuang and then asked the old doctor, “When will His Highness wake up?”

The old doctor frowned in perplexity. “It’s uncertain. His Highness is in a coma just to protect himself, which will make it easier to recover. If we awaken him forcefully, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to recover.”

Hearing that, Shi Qingxue had to restrain her anxiety and give up the plan to wake up Mo Junzhan.

“Doctor, please stay in the mansion and take care of His Highness.”

The old doctor certainly agreed and even followed Dong Shuang to decoct medicinal herbs.

Shi Qingxue sat on the bedside and looked at Mo Junzhan’s pale and weak face although he was like a child, with mixed feelings.

She had never seen Mo Junzhan being so fragile, and she didn’t know how Mo Junyang was now.

Would he be more…than Mo Junzhan?

Shi Qingxue hurriedly shook her head and clenched her hands, saying in a low voice, “No, he won’t.”

She didn’t say that to anybody but just comforted herself, while Wei Zichao heard it.

The guard stepped forward and cupped his hands. “My Lady, how about I go to Shang Village? Although we can’t do anything to help Master, we can know some information.”

However, Shi Qingxue refused this time. She said in a calm and almost cruel voice, “What’s the point of knowing some information? We need to solve the problem now.”

She paused for a moment and then asked, “Zichao, can you find how Junzhan was injured?”

“When I dressed His Highness just now, I saw a deep palm print on his back. His internal injury must be from it.”

Hearing that, Shi Qingxue looked stunned and murmured, “A palm print? What kind of person can injure him? What about Junyang? Is he injured?”

She had told herself that she couldn’t expect bad things to happen, while her thoughts were uncontrollable like a beast out of a cage.

She wished that she had a pair of wings and could fly to Mo Junyang. In spite of the hidden risk and trouble, she just wanted to see him and confirm that he was safe.

However, Shi Qingxue was Shi Qingxue. She wasn’t an impetuous youth anymore. Especially when Mo Junyang was not around, she was tougher.

She analyzed the current situation sanely and then allocated the tasks to the subordinates. Dong Shuang and the old doctor should take care of the patient, Mo Junzhan. Wei Zichao should ensure his safety, and all the rest servants were sent out to inquire about the information.

The ninth prince was wounded seriously, and King Rui’s heir disappeared. Some people must be restless.

Shi Qingxue guessed right. After the old doctor made a diagnosis that Mo Junzhan was injured severely and could hardly wake up, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, Yan Xu finished his jobs and came late.

As soon as Yan Xu entered, he apologized first, “I was thoughtless. Shang Village is so dangerous, yet I didn’t stop them in advance but let His Highness go there and get injured. I am unforgivable and should be sentenced to death.”

Shi Qingxue coldly stared at Yan Xu who looked as if acting in an opera, letting him do his one-man show.

Yan Xu didn’t feel awkward but showed his guilt, regret, sadness and helplessness perfectly.

In the end, his expression stiffened, and he said suddenly, “I don’t know where His Excellency is now.”

Shi Qingxue’s eyebrows trembled, yet soon she returned calm, asking in reply impassively, “Lord Yan, you ask me, but who should I ask?”

Yan Xu ran his treacherous eyes over Shi Qingxue several times and seemed to penetrate her, while he couldn’t judge if her words were true in the end.

Then he restrained his expression and patted his head, smiling slowly. “Look at me. I almost forget that His Excellency went to Shang Village with His Highness. Now His Highness was seriously injured, in a coma, and the others’ whereabouts were unknown. We really don’t know where His Excellency is now.

“But please don’t worry, My Lady. I will send more people to Shang Village at once to look for His Excellency. I ensure that they can bring him back in safety.”

Shi Qingxue was clear that Mo Junyang still didn’t come back, and it must have something to do with this magistrate.

She wanted to ask him, “If you can’t ensure that Mo Junyang will come back in safety, will you commit suicide to apologize?”

However, Shi Qingxue wasn’t in the mood to joke with him. She didn’t want to say more to Yan Xu. Then she waved him away.

Yan Xu wasn’t sensible at all. He still stood there and looked worried. “I can see that His Highness is wounded seriously and needs people to take care of him. It happens that a maid in my mansion is good at looking after patients. My Lady, please let me take care of His Highness.

“In this case…it will be helpful to your fame, right?”

His last words were meaningful, and his eyes were malicious. Shi Qingxue just felt disgusted.

She certainly understood that Yan Xu was threatening her.

She was engaged, and no matter what she did in private, it was fine, yet in front of others, she should restrain herself even when she stayed with Mo Junyang, not to mention that she was looking after the ninth prince who was unmarried.

Moreover, Yan Xu who wanted to cause trouble was here.

Without using her brain, Shi Qingxue could guess how Yan Xu would slander her and Mo Junzhan.

However, since Yan Xu said that, Shi Qingxue wouldn’t leave Mo Junzhan to him.

No matter whether Yan Xu had ulterior motives or simply wanted to show his face in front of Mo Junzhan, she couldn’t let him succeed.

The question was how she protected herself and Mo Junzhan at the same time.
