Long Live the Empress

Chapter 281 Jinghong is injured

The scene suddenly became tense. A servant took his handkerchief and wanted to cover Yue Jinghong's wound, but Yue Jinghong opened his hand with disgust. The prince also came to Yue Jinghong's side at this time, and Yue Jinghong immediately burst into tears out of grievance.

"Prince... wuwu... my body hurts so much..."

The more excited Yue Jinghong became, the more her blood flowed, making her originally beautiful face become somewhat hideous.

The prince frowned in disgust, "Has the court doctor arrived?"

"Your Highness, I'm here!" replied the court physician.

The prince waved his hand, and the court physician put down his medicine box and began to treat Yue Jinghong.

Yue Jinghao also hurried over at this time, "How is Aunt Yue? Is she seriously injured?"

"Don't worry, the court doctor is a skilled doctor and will never let her suffer!" The prince was worried that Yue Jing was too worried, so he comforted her.

"Ah... it hurts... wuwu... can't you be gentler?" Yue Jinghong cried out in pain.

Yue Jinghao walked closer to take a look. It was no wonder that Yue Jinghong screamed. The wound on her forehead was two inches long, and the skin and flesh were turned outward, revealing the skull mixed with blood...

Agate was also shocked and gasped. She felt something was wrong and quickly covered her open mouth with a silk handkerchief...

"What...what happened?" Yue Jinghong noticed that something was wrong with Agate, and tremblingly took out a small bronze mirror from her sleeve and was about to look at it.

"Madam Yue, please don't move..." said the court doctor while treating the wound.

Yue Jinghong didn't listen at all. When she saw the wound in the mirror, she collapsed all of a sudden.

"Oh... my face... my face..."

Three or four servants were unable to hold Yue Jinghong down, and the palace doctor could only raise his two blood-stained hands and plead with the prince: "Prince, Aunt Yue is like this, I really..."

The prince also felt that the noise was too much, so he gave a wink to the guard. The guard walked behind Yue Jinghong calmly and hit her in the neck with a knife.

Yue Jinghong fainted before she could even feel the pain.

The court doctor hurriedly continued his actions, even the movement of sprinkling the medicine became extremely gentle, for fear of waking Yue Jinghong up from the pain...

Fan Huarong was still standing in a daze in the distance, silently watching, thinking about how to get through this. She looked at the sharp nails on her left hand, hardened her heart, and grabbed the back of her right hand hard...

The maidservant beside her looked at Fan Huarong in horror, not understanding why she wanted to hurt herself like this.

Fan Huarong whispered to the maid: "Do you understand what to do?"

The maid nodded quickly. Although she was not a born child of the Fan family, she knew too well how ruthless Fan Huarong was. If she dared to betray Fan Huarong, her parents would be dead!

"Prince, how is Aunt Yue?" Fan Huarong ran over with red eyes.

The prince only wanted Yue Jinghao not to have any grudges against him because of this matter, so he ignored Fan Huarong and said to Yue Jinghao: "Please sit down. It will probably take a while..."

Yue Jinghao nodded, and as soon as she sat down, the careful Agate put a thick cloak on her.

"Ms. Fan, do you have anything to say about this matter?" The prince spoke in a bad tone, his eyes full of anger.

Fan Huarong knelt on the ground and sobbed, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have competed with the princess even though I'm not as skilled as her. I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have accidentally broken Madam Yue's head..."

Fan Huarong cried and wiped her tears with her bloody right hand. The maid exclaimed, "Auntie, your hand..."

Fan Huarong quickly pulled down his sleeves, glanced at Yue Jinghao fearfully, and said, "Don't say anything... Princess... Princess didn't mean it..."

"Don't slander me! What does your injury have to do with the princess?" Agate couldn't bear to see anyone bullying Yue Jinghao, so he interrupted regardless of his status.

Fan Huarong changed her usual flamboyance and said timidly: "It has nothing to do with the princess... It was my fault, I was careless... wuwu"

Fan Huarong felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and she started crying before she finished her words.

The maid knelt forward and crawled a few steps, saying, "Your Highness, I saw it clearly. It was indeed the princess who scratched my aunt. Please investigate!"

"How can you have the right to speak here, you slut?" Fan Huarong scolded, and then looked at the prince crying: "Prince, don't listen to this slut, this injury is caused by my carelessness, it has nothing to do with...the princess!"

The prince was born in the harem and was used to seeing women's tears. Although Fan Huarong was crying, he just felt annoyed: "Well, I believe you!"

"..." Fan Huarong paused as he wiped away his tears. Shouldn't the prince hold Yue Jinghao accountable at this time? Why...

Fan Huarong winked at the maid, and the maid knelt down and crawled towards Yue Jinghao.

"Princess! Aunt Fan is indeed strict with Aunt Yue, but that's because Aunt Yue's manners are not up to par... Aunt Fan wanted to teach her a lesson... Princess, you must not blame Aunt Fan for this!"

"How dare you!" Agate shouted angrily, "Who the hell are you? How dare you question the princess!?"

"We are both servants. Why can't I say what my sister says?" the maid retorted.

"Humph!" Agate sneered, "You and I are both slaves, but it depends on whose slave you are!"

Yue Jinghao thought to herself, Agate had never been so sharp-tongued before. At this moment, Agate was really... cute!!

"You..." The maid was speechless and turned to look at Fan Huarong, but was glared at by Fan Huarong.

"I am the prince's servant, and my sister is the princess' servant. Could it be that... my sister is saying that the princess is of higher status than the prince..."

These words are indeed cruel. If the prince pursues the matter, Yue Jinghao will be skinned alive even if she doesn't die!
