Chapter 6 Did You Do This on Purpose?

Mu Xiuhan's heart felt like it had sunk into an ice cellar, and he kowtowed quickly: "My son is stupid, but I know I am wrong! Please, father, please understand!"

He never expected that his father would care so much about Yan Li, an orphan girl without a father or a mother, who had been fostered in the Taifu Mansion for so many years, and all her food and clothing were provided by the Jiang family. She was cowardly and incompetent, and her mother had secretly married someone, and she didn't have a good reputation. How could such a woman be qualified to be the mother of the country?

He didn't want to marry an orphan with a stain, what if someone dug up the old account and impeached and attacked him in the future, where would his face be?

Jiang Jingyue is the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor. She is gentle, intelligent, considerate, and a well-educated lady...

"I have canceled your marriage with Yan Li. Since you want to marry the granddaughter of the Jiang family, I will also fulfill your wish." Emperor Zhaocheng's anger subsided slightly, and his extremely calm tone sounded more like a sign before the coming of a storm. "Tomorrow I will send someone to bring her into the palace. After she lives in the East Palace, she will be your Crown Princess. I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you will treat her well."

Mu Xiuhan heard this and had an ominous premonition in his heart. Bring Jiang Jingyue into the palace? Ordinary people still have to matchmake and betroth their wives, but he, a noble crown prince, wants to bring his wife in directly like taking a concubine?

No, taking a concubine is more glorious than this.

If the civil and military officials and the nobles of the imperial city knew that Jiang Jingyue was taken into the palace to be the Crown Princess, he, the Crown Prince, and the Jiang family would lose face!

Mu Xiuhan's face turned pale, and he kowtowed repeatedly to apologize: "Father, I am incompetent, and I know I was wrong--"

"You are not incompetent, you are insidious." Emperor Zhaocheng interrupted him, "I should be happy that I can see what you are earlier."

The prince's face changed drastically, and he could hardly believe that his biological father would say this to him: "Father! I am your biological son, Yan Li... She is just..."

"Just an orphan who no one cares about?" Emperor Zhaocheng's eyes were cold, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed, "I will soon let you see if anyone cares about her and if anyone protects her!"

Yan Li was completely awake. After all, the severe pain caused by the treatment of the wound made it impossible for people to fall asleep again.

So she clearly heard the voices of the father and son talking outside.

The scene of the prince slapping Yan Li in the face, calling her a "bitch", and then walking away in anger still remained in her memory two hours ago.

For his own selfish desires, the crown prince did not care what kind of harm his slander and abuse would cause to an innocent girl. It was obviously he who wanted to cancel the engagement, but he did not dare to ask his father, and instead took out his anger on a weak woman.

How could such a man be the crown prince?

Yan Li frowned slightly, with pain everywhere on one side and the roaring in her ears on the other side, which made her upset.

She wanted to open her eyes and say something, but the order that followed made her give up the idea.

"You just kneel here, Yan Li wakes up when something happens, and you get up again when you want to!" Emperor Zhaocheng's tone was angry and tough, and he could not refute it. "I can cancel your engagement, but the reason why Yan Li suffered this crime was entirely caused by you, a fool, who did not know right from wrong. You cannot get rid of the responsibility!"

The emperor was quite reasonable.

Yan Qing nodded silently in her heart, and continued to close her eyes and sleep peacefully. Even if she couldn't sleep because of the pain in her body, she needed to conserve her energy and repair this weak body.

As for the prince, kneel slowly.

The female doctors handled Yan Li's injuries skillfully, applying medicine to all the places that needed it. The cool feeling of the ointment relieved the pain a lot.

The emperor may have left. Yan Li heard a woman say to others: "You two take good care of Miss Yan here, I'll go to boil the medicine."

"Yes."

The hall was filled with a light and refreshing smell of medicine. Yan Li was still in the mood to distinguish the ingredients of this fragrance. They were indeed good medicines that promoted blood circulation and blood stasis and helped wounds heal quickly. They were very valuable.

The pain subsided a lot, and Yan Li gradually fell into a deep sleep.

The female doctor Bai Die walked out of the inner hall and saw the prince kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face. She knelt down and saluted.

"When will Yan Li wake up?" Mu Xiu Han frowned.

"To your Highness, Miss Yan's injuries are too serious, and she is weak. I don't know if she can wake up today."

Mu Xiu Han's face suddenly changed: "Today?"

Does it mean that Yan Li may not wake up today? Then he will kneel here for half a day?

What about at night?

If he can't wake up at night, will he have to kneel here all night?

"Find someone to go to Fengyi Palace and tell the queen what happened here." Mu Xiuhan said lightly.

"Yes."

Bai Die walked out, sent someone to convey the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then went to get medicine and boil it.

After hearing this, the queen who was staying in Fengyi Palace was shocked: "What did you say?"

The palace servant replied truthfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was punished by the Emperor to kneel in Fengyang Palace, and Miss Yan was also in Fengyang Palace."

The Queen asked the reason in detail and quickly ordered: "Go to Fengyang Palace!"

She arrived at Fengyang Palace with a group of palace maids. As expected, she saw the Crown Prince kneeling in the palace, and she was immediately distressed, but she knew that now was not the time to feel distressed. She stepped over the threshold and walked into the inner hall.

"How is Yan Li?" She looked worried, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at the pale face in front of her, "This child really suffered, how did it become like this?"

Yan Li was awakened by a pair of cold claws just after she fell asleep. She couldn't help but feel murderous in her heart, but she soon realized something, and the murderous aura flashed away and soon returned to calm.

The queen frowned and asked unhappily: "When can she wake up?"

"Reporting to the queen, Miss Yan has not only suffered a severe physical punishment, but also a great emotional shock," the doctor replied, "so it is not certain when she will wake up."

The queen said impatiently: "Is there any way to wake her up immediately?"

The doctor hesitated: "Miss Yan is very weak, the emperor ordered no one to disturb her, and let her rest well-"

"Don't you understand what I mean?" The queen's tone suddenly rose, "Let her wake up immediately!"

Perhaps the voice was so loud that it disturbed Yan Li, and the originally sleeping girl's eyelashes trembled and slowly opened her eyes.

"Are you awake?" The queen looked at Yan Li and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Her expression became gentle and caring. "Yan Li, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

Yan Li looked at the woman with delicate makeup in silence. Her eyes were calm and peaceful, as if she was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

"Yan Li." The queen frowned. "Can you hear me?"

Yan Li still didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

The queen's expression gradually became uneasy, but it could be seen that she was suppressing her temper: "Since you are awake, say something, don't pretend to be dumb."

Yan Li closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

The queen was so angry that her face turned blue. She stood up suddenly and said, "Did you do this on purpose?"
