Chapter 319: Not a discussion, just a notification
Ji Chuhe rode on a sedan chair to Xiao Yan'an's yard.
As soon as the person arrived, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion came to greet him with a worried look on his face.
"He'er, your injuries haven't recovered yet. Why are you running here? Your uncles are here. You should go back and rest." The eldest master really didn't want Ji Chuhe to see Xiao Yan'an in this horrible state!
"Uncle, I have something to discuss with the prince. Please let me meet him." Ji Chuhe responded softly.
"Then just carry the sedan chair in, slowly and lightly." Young Master Rong stood guarding the sedan chair like an old hen.
Xiao Yan'an had just woken up, and the palace doctor of the Duke's Mansion was changing his dressings.
The gauze was covered with thick water, forming a hard lump.
The wound also has a tendency to rot. Originally, it only needed to rest for a few days and recover easily, and a scab would form in a few days. Now, it is necessary to cut out this piece of rotten flesh and clean the wound thoroughly.
If the recovery is not good, I am afraid that this arm will be disabled.
When Xiao Yan'an saw Ji Chuhe, he immediately propped himself up and tried to sit up.
"Prince, don't move. Let the court doctor treat the wound immediately." Ji Chuhe stopped him.
"Madam, why are you here?" Xiao Yan'an asked with a worried look on his face.
"I have something to say to the prince. Let's wait until the prince has treated his wound and then we can talk." Ji Chuhe's tone was very calm, and gave people a very reassuring feeling.
Xiao Yanan's emotions were calmed down just like that.
"Prince, it hurts a little, please bear with it." The court doctor began to clean the rotten flesh on the wound with a burned knife.
Ji Chuhe frowned when seeing this scene, and finally had to turn his head away, unable to bear watching any longer.
Xiao Yanan gritted his teeth tightly, sweat immediately covered his entire face, his hands tightly grasped the quilt on the bed, and he didn't cry out at all.
After the long cleaning, the court doctor was sweating profusely. He applied medicine and re-bandaged the wound.
"Prince, you must rest well for the next half month. It's best if you stay in bed and don't bother with the wound. Otherwise, if the injury gets worse, you may not be able to save your arm. Even worse, it may even be life-threatening." The court doctor advised earnestly.
"I understand." Xiao Yan'an finally responded.
Young Master Rong seemed to be hallucinating and stared straight in the direction of Xiao Yan'an.
The man who had always been as stubborn as a donkey actually responded!
It seems that it has to be He'er!
"He'er, if you have anything to say, I'll go out for a while and you guys can chat slowly." Young Master Rong immediately stepped out.
When he left, he called everyone in the room out, leaving the space for Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry." Xiao Yan'an apologized.
"Sir, how do you think you have done something wrong to me?" Ji Chuhe asked directly.
Xiao Yan'an was speechless for a moment, and couldn't organize his words for a long time.
"Since you can't say it, then there's no need to apologize. Today, I came to see the prince because I want to talk to him about what we should do next."
After Ji Chuhe finished speaking, he stood up with the help of the sedan chair and handed Liu Ying's confession to Xiao Yan'an.
"Madam, be careful." Xiao Yan'an reminded worriedly.
"It's okay. My injuries have almost recovered."
Now, comparing the two, it seems that Xiao Yanan's injuries are much more serious than Ji Chuhe's.
Ji Chuhe's words made Xiao Yan'an feel dry in his heart. He took the confession and read its contents.
After reading it, he found the problem.
"Liu Ying was sent by the Luo family. Li Siniang is the Queen Mother's person. It is impossible for the Queen Mother's people to assist the Luo family in doing such a thing."
"That's right. So, as soon as Liuying was exposed, I planned to involve the Queen Mother's people. That's why I didn't find a reason to deal with Liuying. Instead, I indulged her and let her deliberately cause trouble in the mansion. However, I can't determine what kind of trouble Liuying will cause. For example, instigating Xu Yan'er to assassinate me."
Xiao Yan'an felt a pang of pain in his heart again. "When you designed Liuying to steal, you actually wanted to take her away from Xu Yan'er and clear Xu Yan'er from all this. You didn't want Xu Yan'er to be involved in this matter. However, Xu Yan'er was unwilling to let go and used such an extreme method to keep Liuying."
"Yes."
Xiao Yan'an suddenly smiled bitterly, "I also said at that time, let Liu Ying stay first."
"We could not have expected that Xu Yan'er would be bewitched by Liu Ying to commit such an unforgivable mistake! If I had not been holding the child at the time, perhaps Xu Yan'er would not have hurt me, but there are no ifs in this world. Everything is a foregone conclusion. Please accept my condolences, my prince."
"Madam, she did this because she was under the control of drugs. If she wasn't under the control of drugs, she would never do something like assassinating the mistress." Xiao Yan'an explained to Ji Chuhe.
"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded.
Xu Yan'er is already dead, there is no point in arguing about this.
No one knew whether Xu Yan'er had ever intended to kill her, only Xu Yan'er herself knew it best.
"Where is Liuying?" Xiao Yan'an held the confession tightly and asked in a deep voice.
"They were beaten to death with clubs and their bodies were thrown into the wilderness."
"She's dead. What if the Luo family denies this confession?"
"We are not going to court with the Luo family. Even if Liuying is not dead, they will insist on forcing Liuying to confess and accuse them. What should we do?"
Xiao Yan'an was speechless.
"Then what's the use of this confession?" Xiao Yan'an didn't understand.
"Of course it is useful. Very useful! The prince asked people to copy hundreds of copies of this confession and distribute them everywhere in the imperial capital. Let everyone in the city know about it. Then we will know whether this thing is useful or not."
"Tianxi, immediately have someone copy three thousand copies of this confession and distribute them throughout the city!" Xiao Yan'an gave the order immediately.
What he was doing now, in his heart, was revenge for Xu Yan'er.
All his emotions seemed to have found an outlet!
"Next, please get well soon, my Lord. We still have a tough battle to fight. Don't let your servants carry you on a sedan chair when we confront the Luo family, looking so weak and frail."
"I'm not that weak!" Xiao Yan'an immediately retorted.
"I will tell the prince about the second thing. Aunt Dong's child is registered under my name. I named him Xiao Yuanyou. He will be the prince's eldest son and the eldest grandson of the Huaiyang Palace. I have explained this in the letter to my father and mother. I think my father and mother will definitely agree to this."
When Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an talked about this, it was not in the tone of discussion, but of notification.
Xiao Yan'an never took the child seriously. To him, he was just a bastard's son. However, Ji Chuhe actually acknowledged the child. To him, the child had a different meaning.
