920 Injury (1)
Shen Miao’s heart tightened.
Madam Ji stood beside Shen Miao and immediately held her hand tightly. She was probably afraid that Shen Miao would be anxious, so she persuaded her, “There will inevitably be accidents on the hunting ground. He probably hurt himself. With so many guards protecting him, he should be fine.”
Shen Miao did not want Madam Ji to panic, so she tried her best to hide the worry, but she did not think it was just an accident. Since Emperor Yong Le sent Xie Jingxing back to the city first, the injuries Xie Jingxing suffered must be deadly.
She looked around. Seeing that Tie Yi and Gao Yang were also not around, she was even more anxious.
Emperor Yong Le did not seem to want to say anything else. Even if he hunted a lion, he did not look very happy. Everyone was guessing Prince Rui’s injuries, but they knew that Emperor Yong Le was unhappy this time. Everyone knew that Prince Rui and Emperor Yong Le were close. The two of them went to the inner venue together, but only Prince Rui came out injured. Emperor Yong Le would definitely not be happy. Therefore, no one dared to talk to Emperor Yong Le at this moment. Even Consort Jing lowered her arrogant attitude and served him obediently.
Since the lion had been hunted, there was naturally no need for everyone to stay in the hunting ground. Emperor Yong Le wanted to return to the palace, and the officials also returned home. While everyone was being quiet, Lu Zhengchun asked about the sacrificial ceremony. Emperor Yong Le usually had some respect for Lu Zhengchun. Today, he snorted and left. However, not only was Lu Zhengchun not angry, but he even smirked, making his fierce face look extremely terrifying.
Shen Miao also had to hurry back home. She was concerned about Xie Jingxing’s injuries. Madam Ji and Ji Yushu also wanted to go. Shen Miao shook her head and said, “We still don’t know what happened. I’m afraid it’s not that simple. If Auntie and Yushu come with me now, people will make wild guesses. I’ll go back and see what’s going on first. You can come over when Jingxing is better.” After a pause, she continued, “At this time, we can’t panic.”
Although Ji Yushu and Madam Ji did not understand the ins and outs of this matter, they understood what Shen Miao meant.
Shen Miao, Mo Qing, and the others immediately rushed back. On the way, Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang comforted Shen Miao. “Madam, don’t worry. Master’s martial arts are superb. Ordinary people can’t hurt him. Perhaps this is Master’s plan to confuse the enemy.”
Shen Miao shook her head. “I don’t have a good feeling.” It was as if something was tugging at her heart. This feeling made her extremely uneasy. She wished she could appear in front of Xie Jingxing instantly to see what was going on with him.
Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang looked at each other and fell silent.
When they arrived at Prince Rui’s mansion, Shen Miao got off the carriage and walked straight into the mansion. The guards at the door quickly let her in. Shen Miao stepped in and realized that the mansion was surprisingly quiet.
