The Third Prince was carried back to the capital.
By the time Murong Jiu and Jun Yuyan arrived, the Third Prince's bedside was surrounded by Imperial Physicians.
Consort Jing stood to one side, her eyes bright red; they were filled with a pleading sorrow as if her heart had shattered. Her already pitiable air seemed all the more pronounced.
"Xiao Jiu, you've arrived just in time. Please, see if there's any hope for your younger brother's leg!"
The Emperor himself seemed to have aged several years, his tone urgent. The surrounding Imperial Physicians and concubines, upon hearing this, had strange thoughts — when did the Emperor start caring so much for the Third Prince?
This was the Yangxin Hall, the Emperor's resting palace.
Even when the Eldest Prince, Prince Ling suffered an accident, he had never been brought to the Emperor's Yangxin Hall.
