Chapter 560: The Unending Peach Blossom
ay outside.>"Alright, I'll be just outside the door. If you need anything later, Miss, just call out and I'll come in immediately." Qing Luo obediently walked out and gently closed the door.Xiao Yu's...Asong frowned, a burning sensation spreading across her back. She knew that her wounds from last night’s storm had been torn open and were now raw and bleeding. It was hateful how that man hadn't shown even a shred of pity!
But from the moment she was brought into the mansion, she had anticipated all this. Therefore, she shouldn't even have the right to shed tears, should she She struggled to sit up, wiping away a tear from the corner of her eye with her finger and calling out to the outside: "Xiaoyu!"
"Girl!" Xiaoyu responded and entered, but everything she saw frightened her: "Miss, are you alright"
"I'm fine, just give me some medicine first." Ruge gritted her teeth and lay on the table.
"Alright, miss." But when Xiaoyu lifted the girl's back garment, seeing the gruesome flesh wound, she instinctively covered her mouth: "Miss..."
"It's alright, just put some medicine on it." Ruge spoke calmly, as if these injuries weren't her own.
Xiaoyu nodded, tearfully and carefully applying medicine to her.
"Make the bed and change the sheets. I want to rest for a bit." After putting on the medicine, Ru Ge propped herself up, but as soon as she stood up, she felt lightheaded and almost fell. Luckily, Xiao Yu was quick and caught her in time.
"Miss, I'm so sorry, it's all because of Little Rain that has troubled you..." Little Rain was wiping tears as she cleaned up. The scene on the surface was terrifying, and she was afraid to even look at it. She couldn't even imagine what had happened to the Miss last night.
She also couldn't figure it out. In her daily life, the Crown Prince wouldn't be harsh to anyone, so why was he so cruel to Ru Ge
In the study.
"Your Highness." Ling Tian pushed open the door.
"Done checking" Qian Si Chen, who was writing something on the desk, didn't even raise her eyelids. She simply placed the pen aside calmly and continued organizing the things in front of her.
"I suppose..." Ling Tian didn't know how to answer, seeming a little embarrassed.
Qian Si Chen's movements came to a halt, her eyes snapping up. "Ling Tian, you just started following me today. I know what I want to know, and I won't allow you to be evasive. What's the matter"
"Your Highness, please calm down!" Ling Tian hurriedly knelt down: "According to the information our people gathered, Miss Ru Ge did come from Jiang City. However, she got separated from her family on the way and injured her head, so she lost her memory and fell unconscious on the road. She was found by an elderly couple at the entrance of Dumb Women Village. The couple had recently lost a daughter, so they adopted Miss Ru Ge as their foster daughter and used the name of their deceased daughter. The day we met her, it happened that the husband in that family fell ill, so she went out to collect medicine..."
After hearing this, Qian Si Chen pondered for a long time: "It seems plausible, everything makes sense, except that no one here knows about her past in Jiang City, so we have to keep investigating." Could it really be a coincidence No! He didn't believe it!
"Yes! My subordinate has already arranged for someone to take Miss Ru Ge's portrait to Jiangcheng to inquire about it. But now the city is full of refugees, and many places have been flooded. It's quite difficult to find any clues."
"Even if it's difficult, I have to investigate. This Palace needs to know her purpose for approaching me everywhere." Qian Si Chen heavily placed the letter in his hand down. He could have killed her with a single sword, but seeing her face, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Thinking back on everything that happened last night, he rubbed his forehead in annoyance. He had had too much to drink and ended up mistaking her for Ge'er. If Ge'er found out, she probably wouldn't speak to him again.
"By the way, Grandpa, our people found a place with the words "Red" and "xiu" in them. Besides a deserted Redxiu Valley, there is only one place that fits the description: the Redxiu Mountain Villa!"
"Red Hill Manor!" Qian Si Chen stood up abruptly, his excitement palpable. "What have you found"
"There was an abandoned mountain lodge. According to the villagers down in the valley, it seemed that not long ago there was a sudden flood there, and overnight, the entire lodge burned to ashes. No one inside was ever found."
"There must be something wrong, have someone investigate it immediately! No, you personally lead a team to investigate. You're sure to find some clues!" Qiansichen was overjoyed. He felt a strong desire, this Hongxiushan Villa must have a great connection with Lei Tingge.
"Yes! My subordinate will move immediately!"
As soon as Ling Tian left, a palace maid rushed over to report: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Miss Ru Ge has fainted!"
Qian Si's brow furrowed, her expression tight. She pursed her lips and said, "Just send the imperial physician if she fainted. This palace is not a doctor. What use is it to report to me" For some reason, she saw like a song those eyes that were exactly like Ge'er’s, stubborn as ever. She couldn’t help but let out a cold snort: Wasn’t she very stubborn Then she would see just how long she could be stubborn for
"The imperial physician has seen her, saying that the young lady's injuries are too severe. If she is not treated in time, she may develop chronic illness."
"Then let the imperial physician treat her well. If she can't be cured, this palace holds you all responsible!" Qian Sichin didn't want her to die so soon.
"Yes!"
After the maid left, Qian Si Chen idly picked up the scroll and flipped through it haphazardly, but couldn't make sense of a single word. Frustrated and agitated, she closed the scroll and slammed it on the table. After a moment's thought, she stood up and hurried away.
"What are you doing here"
Seeing Qian Sichin appear at Ruyifang, Xiao Yuge was still quite surprised. After all, she thought he wouldn't dare to come find her again after that day.
"Come with me, little one!" Qian Sicheng didn't hesitate, he grabbed her hand and pulled her out.
"Song'er!" Feng Yian followed right out, but she was stopped in her tracks by a look from Qian Si Chen.
Windy gently touched her forehead. This lord's peach blossom luck was truly chaotic, and no matter how much she pinched it wouldn't stop. If that king knew about it, he might overturn his vinegar vat, and who knows if this lord could withstand it. All she could do was silently pray in her heart: Lord, may you be fortunate!
"Let go of me!" Coming to a deserted place, Xiao Yu Ge forcefully broke free from his grip, twisting her wrist that was aching from being held. She frowned secretly: This dead scumbag wants to die He was squeezing her so hard! If he wanted to die, she'd be very happy to grant him his wish!
Thousands of thoughts and worries were cast aside, he reached out his hand and held her tightly: "Ge'er, don't be so cruel to me. You know, when I knew you were in danger, how afraid I was. I was afraid that I would never see you again. I never believed in gods or Buddhas, but after I knew you were safe and sound, how happy I was. I thanked every god and Buddha I knew over and over again. I thank them for protecting you."
"Qian Si Chen, what are you doing crazy! Let me go!" Xiao Yu Ge furiously slapped him away with a palm.
"Ge'er, you should have called me this way a long time ago. Doesn't it sound better than Your Highness You are the only woman who calls me by my full name. In this world, I only allow you to call me that."Qian Si Chen felt her palm strike his chest, but instead of anger, he smiled. He had heard her call Xiao Huang Shu's name, so he also hoped that one day, she would use the same tone to call his name.ed back.>"Are you feeling better" As soon as he said it, Ye Wuhuan himself felt a little unbelievable. Why would he care so much about her>"I'm almost all better." Xiao Yuge shook her hand and casual...
