An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 131

"Yun Shang..." Yun Shang heard two exclamations; one was from Prince Jing, and the other was from Emperor Ning.

Yun Shang was getting closer and closer to the ground. She saw a figure in purple and a figure in red rushing toward her. Then she fell into a man's warm arms safely.

Even though she managed to control her speed as she fell, she bumped her head on the man's body. Prince Jing's voice came from above, "What's going on?"

Yun Shang puckered her lips and raised her eyes. Wang Jinyan stood in front of her with an anxious and remorseful expression, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Yun Shang remained speechless though frightened. After a long time, she shook her head and pointed at Ta Yun who was lying on the ground, "I don't know what has happened. Ta Yun was okay a moment ago, but suddenly he acted crazy..." While speaking, Yun Shang looked at Yu'er and Wenxi. They seemed a little disappointed.

Prince Jing frowned as he stared at Yun Shang. He knew Yun Shang knew martial arts, besides, his Ta Yun... Prince Jing turned to Ta Yun as he thought about the situation. Then he took Yun Shang's arm and walked to Ta Yun. Ta Yun turned its head to Prince Jing. He was foaming at the mouth.

Prince Jing narrowed his eyes and stared at Ta Yun for a moment before he turned to Emperor Ning, "Your Majesty, Ta Yun must have eaten something wrong. Please allow me to have Ta Yun examined. I will find out what happened..."

Emperor Ning looked at Prince Jing and then turned to Yun Shang, who was leaning against Prince Jing as if she were still suffering from shock. Emperor Ning nodded, "Of course, I believe you. I have always thought of you to be capable. Yun Shang has not recovered from the shock yet. Let her rest first."

Yun Shang drew several letters on Prince Jing's back with her index finger secretly. Prince Jing became rigid, and he raised his head, "Your Majesty, the competition is not yet finished. As the referee, I shouldn't leave. We will know what happened to Ta Yun later. Before I came here, I was afraid someone might get hurt, so I invited physician Qingwei. Although physician Qingwei is not as famous as physician Xue Yan, his medical skill is also superb. I'll ask physician Qingwei to treat Yun Shang now."

Emperor Ning frowned. Obviously, he didn't agree with what Prince Jing said. Seeing his expression, Yun Shang let go of Prince Jing's arms and stood straight. She said to Emperor Ning, "Father, since I'm out of the Imperial Palace, I don't want to go back so early. Father, I'm okay. Just ask physician Qingwei to treat me later."

Since Yun Shang didn't want to leave, Emperor Ning nodded, "Fine. Ask physician Qingwei to come."

In a while, a grey-haired old man came and bowed, "Your Majesties, Your Highnesses..."

"Physician Qingwei, please don't be formal. Just examine Yun Shang to see if she is hurt." Emperor Ning immediately ordered.

Physician Qingwei stopped talking and walked to Yun Shang, "Your Highness, may I feel your pulse, please?"

Yun Shang nodded as she stretched out her hand.

Physician Qingwei put his fingers on her wrist. After a long time, he narrowed his eyes, took back his hand and made a bow with hands folded in front, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Princess Yun Shang is fine."

Emperor Ning's anger settled. He nodded and was about to say something, but a sudden burst of noise interrupted him.

Everyone looked in the direction of the noise and saw several people rushing out from the dense forest on horses. The leading man was Li Yaoqi, Grand Councilor Li's eldest grandson. He held a lady in purple in his arms.

The Empress's face changed as she stood up and yelled, "Hua Jing?"

When they got closer, the Empress's face turned pale as she confirmed that the lady was Hua Jing. She looked at Hua Jing carefully and saw blood stains on her purple robe. The Empress's heart did a flip. She immediately walked down from the stand, "What's going on? Is Hua Jing okay?"

Yaoqi got off the horse with Hua Jing, "Your Highness, Princess Hua Jing was attacked by a black bear, and she is hurt..."

Seeing Hua Jing's situation, Emperor Ning knew she must be seriously hurt. Though he was very disappointed with Hua Jing, she was, after all, his daughter, Emperor Ning's face darkened.

"Call the imperial physicians!" The Empress felt weak and didn't even have the strength to move when she saw Hua Jing covered in blood.

"Physician Qingwei is here. He is also a famous physician and has better medical skills than the imperial physicians. How about asking physician Qingwei to take a look at sister Hua Jing?" Yun Shang stood and suggested in an anxious voice.

The Empress then realized a physician was present. "Right. Physician Qingwei is here. Physician Qingwei, please have a look at Hua Jing. Is she okay?"

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, 'She has a totally different attitude toward her daughter and her husband's daughter. When I fell from the horse, she had no response at all. But when Hua Jing was hurt, she was so anxious.' The Empress had deceived Yun Shang for so many years. In her previous life, she thought the Empress was like her own mother. Now, Yun Shang realized she had been naive in her previous life.

Physician Qingwei immediately walked to Hua Jing to check her situation. His face darkened when he felt her pulse. After a long time, he opened his mouth, "Princess Hua Jing is seriously hurt. I'm afraid she might lose the baby inside her. As for her own life, I'll try my best to ensure that she is okay."

Physician Qingwei's voice had hardly faded away when the noisy camp fell silent.

Emperor Ning frowned, and his face became darker, "Physician Qingwei, you are talking nonsense."

Qingwei furrowed his brows as if he was not happy with Emperor Ning's words, "Your Majesty, I'm not talking nonsense. Your Majesty, you can see that Princess Hua Jing has no other serious wounds except for some scratches, and yet there is blood all around her lower body. Whoever has common sense can see that she has lost her baby. I've already felt Princess Hua Jing's pulse, and the baby inside her has already died. Princess Hua Jing has no other serious injuries, but she has to be treated in time, otherwise... Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, please ask the imperial physicians to examine Princess Hua Jing..."

Emperor Ning stared at the bloody Hua Jing and gnashed his teeth, "Call the imperial physicians."

After a little while, three imperial physicians came with their medical kits. They were shocked by Hua Jing's situation and immediately went to examine her. But a moment later, they looked disturbed.

Qingwei was just a physician for ordinary people, and thus, he was unaware of people and things in the Imperial Palace. However, the imperial physicians knew that Princess Hua Jing's husband had been at the border for a long time, and had even disappeared earlier. It was said that he had died. But Princess Hua Jing...

Yun Shang let her eyes settle upon the Empress. The Empress had a cold expression and blue veins pulsed on her temples. Blood dripped from her hands to the ground.

'How are you feeling now, Your Majesty?' Yun Shang pursed her lips and felt delighted in her mind.

Emperor Ning realized something was wrong from the expressions on the faces of the imperial physicians. He stamped his foot in annoyance, "How is Princess Hua Jing? Tell me the truth. I think you all know the consequence if you withhold the truth from the Emperor..."

The imperial physicians were taken aback, and they immediately went down on their knees, "Your Majesty, please forgive us. Princess Hua Jing... Princess Hua Jing lost her baby..."

Emperor Ning banged the teacup on the table in front of him. All the tea water spilled as the table crashed, "Take Princess Hua Jing into the room over there for treatment..."

The imperial physicians immediately said yes and helped carry Hua Jing.

Yun Shang curled her lips without being noticed. She found a seat to sit on and stared at the Empress who stood in the middle of the camp. Everyone stood dumbfounded in front of the Empress. Yun Shang saw Qingsu frowning as if he was thinking about something.

He must have doubted or guessed that the baby inside Hua Jing was his...

Yun Shang gave a little smile and looked away. She saw Prince Jing staring at her. Yun Shang went blank for a moment and then raised her eyebrows towards Prince Jing as if she admitted something.

After a long time, the Empress ground her teeth, turned back and looked at Emperor Ning who was furious. She dropped to her knees slowly, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I didn't teach Hua Jing how to behave..."
