Princess Cheng suddenly fainted, and the main courtyard was in chaos. When Prince Cheng and Imperial Physician Sun hurried over, they saw Rong Yue lying on the bed with a pale face, eyes closed, unconscious. Nanny Jiang, who always served Princess Cheng, was at a loss.
"Mother Yue."
Prince Cheng hurriedly wanted to step forward, but before he got close to the bed, he was stopped by a maid who looked unfamiliar.
"What are you doing?"
Prince Cheng had only met Ayane once. That day, Prince Cheng's mansion was in a mess and he was completely focused on Princess Cheng and Song Tangning. In addition, the Black Armored Guards broke in later, so he didn't pay any attention to Ayane who had fought with others that day.
He did not recognize the person in front of him, he just frowned and said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way!"
Ayane, however, stood in front of King Chen who was trying to get around her: "Your servant Ayane, I am here to protect the princess on the orders of the young lady."
"The princess and the prince have not reconciled, and she has also said that the prince is not allowed to set foot in the main courtyard. Since the prince loves the princess, he should respect her wishes. Please leave first so that the imperial physician can treat the princess."
Upon hearing this, Prince Cheng's face suddenly darkened: "I don't know why Yue Niang fainted, and you still have time to tell me this? Song Tangning is just a junior, what qualifications does she have to interfere in the affairs of the elders? Besides, this is Prince Cheng's mansion, and she has no right to speak."
"Get lost!"
When Prince Cheng heard that it was someone sent by Tang Ning, and that they dared to stop him in public, he was filled with anger and stretched out his hand to push Ayane away, but he did not expect that the slender and powerless woman was standing there motionless.
He pushed twice but there was no response. He was immediately filled with shame and anger. When he waved his hand to hit Ayane, his wrist was grabbed.
King Chen cried out in pain: "What are you doing? Let me go..."
"The princess is not in good health, but the prince still wants to fight with me. It seems that the prince has never loved the princess that much."
Ayane looked at Prince Cheng, whose face turned pale with pain, and the Imperial Doctor Sun and the servants from Prince Cheng's mansion who followed in, all with faces full of shock. She waved her hand, and Prince Cheng staggered backwards.
When he stood firmly, King Cheng felt excruciating pain in his hand bones and his wrists were red and swollen.
"Your Highness!" The old butler of Prince Cheng's mansion supported Prince Cheng and turned around and shouted angrily: "How dare you attack my Prince?!"
"Wasn't it the prince who attacked this servant first?"
"You are a slave..."
Snap——
Before Ayane made any big movement, the old butler had already been slapped in the face. When Ayane retreated back to her original position, her expression was cold.
"I am from Jiyun Lane. My master has the final say over my life and death. Before the princess fainted, she said that I am the master of this courtyard. Before the princess wakes up, no one except the imperial physician can set foot here."
Prince Cheng looked at the solemn woman standing in front of the bed, and the old butler beside her was covering his mouth with blood between his fingers.
He suddenly recognized her and exclaimed, "It's you!"
A moment later he became angry again:
"Are you Xiao Yan's man?!"
Ling Yin did not answer King Cheng's words, but said coldly: "The princess needs to rest, you two, send King Cheng out."
Two girls who looked like maids came forward with cold faces, while the other one retreated to Ayane's side. They were obviously just a few women, but the murderous intent shrouding them made everyone realize that they were probably not just ordinary maids.
These people have seen blood and even had deaths on their hands.
If they dare to come forward, they will take action.
The atmosphere in the room was heavy, and Prince Cheng's expression kept changing. Nanny Jiang saw the conflict between the two sides and couldn't help but whispered, "Miss Lingyin, the prince is also worried about the princess..."
"Madame Jiang!"
Ling Yin suddenly interrupted Nanny Jiang's words, and when she looked up at her, her eyes were already cold and stern: "The girl said that except for the princess, the servants will be the main ones on this trip."
Her gaze made Nanny Jiang's scalp numb, and her voice suddenly stopped. When Lingyin saw that she had calmed down, she raised her head and said, "If the prince is really worried about the princess, he should leave earlier so that Doctor Sun can treat the princess instead of pestering me all the time. Or does the prince not want to see the princess well?"
"Nonsense!"
Prince Cheng looked at Nanny Jiang who was "suppressed" by Ayane, and saw that her face was pale and she didn't dare to refute Ayane at all. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Nanny Jiang is the person that Rong Yue relies on and trusts the most. Even if the people were sent by Song Tangning and Xiao Yan, they would never scold Nanny Jiang in such a strong manner without a reason.
And she said that she was the main thing. What was the main thing? Was it to deal with her or to protect Rong Yue? Nanny Jiang's expression was obviously not right either...
Prince Cheng's heart, which was originally irritated by Ayane's attitude, suddenly cooled down, and the sudden uneasiness made him subconsciously clench his fists.
Rong Yue suddenly returned home. He thought she was soft-hearted and wanted to make peace with him, and hoped that the two of them could be back to normal. However, Rong Yue was accompanied by such a strong and powerful female maid, which made him even more wary of him. He thought of Rong Yue's expression and behavior after seeing her today.
He said submissively, "Don't talk nonsense. I was just anxious and worried about Yue Niang, so I lost my composure. Since you don't trust me, I will wait outside."
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."
Ayane's reaction, though it was a subtle test, made him feel even more depressed.
Prince Cheng subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Nanny Jiang, but saw that she looked uneasy, and his heart became more nervous.
This time, Prince Cheng did not insist on pursuing the matter. He just gave Doctor Sun a few instructions, looked at Princess Cheng lying on the bed with deep affection, and then turned and left.
"You two, guard the outer room."
"yes."
The two maid-like guards retreated and stood guard at the door. Ayane then turned to the stunned Doctor Sun and said, "Doctor Sun, please treat the princess."
Doctor Sun had seen the struggles in the rear houses of the rich and powerful, and he had also seen those dirty and vile things, but this was the first time he had seen something like what happened between Princess Chen and Prince Chen.
Doctor Sun was shocked by the way Ling Yin treated Prince Cheng without any scruples just now. Moreover, if he had heard correctly, the woman in front of him was from Jiyun Lane. How could the matter of Prince Cheng's mansion involve Governor Xiao...
Doctor Sun had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he hurried forward.
Princess Chen's body was weak to begin with, and her fetus had always been unstable. She had been relying on Lady Qin's medicine to keep her safe during this period. Although she was pretending to be fainted, her physical weakness was real, and the weakness shown in her pulse also surprised Imperial Doctor Sun.
"This..." Doctor Sun raised his head: "Princess, this child..."
"The princess has been unstable since she became pregnant. It was Madam Qin who used acupuncture and medicine to keep her safe."
Doctor Sun suddenly understood what he said: "No wonder."
Princess Chen's pulse was indeed not good, and her pregnancy signs were extremely poor, but it seemed as if there was a vitality in her body that was maintaining the safety of the child.
But judging from her pulse alone, Princess Cheng seemed to be depressed, with poor blood circulation, and...
Imperial Doctor Sun couldn't help but look down at Princess Cheng, who had her eyes tightly closed. She didn't look like she was fainting.
