Chapter 259 I fell and broke my leg
Seeing this, Qi Yue quickly stood up with the sedan chair and ran towards her with all his strength.
The soldiers surrounding them were also a little panicked when they saw this scene, especially those who had fought with Xiao Mo, who were afraid that Qi Yue would blame them.
Shen Yun originally wanted to go and see how she was doing, but just as she took a step towards her, she saw her gaze.
That look seemed to be saying, don't let me fall in vain.
Shen Yun understood and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand. When he turned around to leave, he was stopped again.
After seeing this, Xiao Mo stood up with the sword and wanted to help her, but she fell down again as soon as she stood up.
This time, she cried out in pain appropriately, which made Qi Yue feel even more distressed.
He came to her side, and with some difficulty, he lifted her up and glared at the group of soldiers: "Who did this?"
The soldiers stopped fighting, looked at each other, and didn't dare to speak.
Shen Yun found an opportunity, slowly retreated to her warhorse, jumped on it without hesitation, and rushed towards the city gate.
Qi Yue carried Xiao Mo and walked towards his sedan chair. After catching a glimpse of a figure rushing past him, he turned his head to glance at Yuan Mu.
Yuan Mu received his gaze and made a gesture to the soldiers guarding the city, and the soldiers retreated from the city wall.
Immediately afterwards, the city gate moved slightly and slowly closed inward.
Xiao Mo's heart tightened, and she shouted in Shen Yun's direction: "A Yun!"
Shen Yun wanted to look back at her, but there was no chance anymore.
She gripped the reins tightly and sped up. When the city gate was only one meter wide, she closed her eyes and jumped out of everyone's sight.
Seeing that she escaped before the city gate closed, Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Mu was standing not far behind Qi Yue. After seeing this, he walked closer to him and asked, "Your Highness, do you need me to lead some people to chase them?"
Qi Yue lowered his eyes to glance at Xiao Mo in his arms, curled his lips and snorted, "Let her be."
Xiao Mo glanced at him and looked away coldly.
He held her in his arms and sat her on the sedan chair. Soon, several people came over carrying a sedan chair with a roof.
It was already noon in the morning when we returned to the East Palace.
The layout of the East Palace is still the same as yesterday, only a few places have been modified.
Along the way, Qi Yue's physical condition got better and better. When he arrived at Yilan Palace, he was able to carry Xiao Mo into the house with one hand.
Xiao Mo knew she couldn't resist, so she just pretended to be dead and let him do whatever he wanted.
Inside the room, Imperial Physician Cao and his apprentice, who had been waiting in the side hall, saw them come in and hurried to greet them.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess."
"Get up, come and see where she is hurt."
Imperial Physician Cao is now the head of the Imperial Hospital, and his medical skills are recognized by everyone in the palace.
Xiao Mo looked indifferently at Imperial Physician Cao who followed Qi Yue into the inner room.
Imperial Physician Cao lowered his head and didn't notice her gaze.
In Xiao Mo's impression, Imperial Physician Cao was an honest and conscientious person. She didn't know whether he knew about Concubine Liang's medicines, or whether he tacitly agreed to help.
Qi Yue put Xiao Mo on the couch, covered her with a blanket and stepped aside.
Imperial Physician Cao hunched over and saluted her, then sat down in front of the couch and carefully took her pulse.
"I wonder what's wrong with the Crown Princess? What are her symptoms?"
"She fell down. Check if there are any injuries on her knees, legs or anything like that." Qi Yue stood by and answered for her.
After hearing this, Imperial Physician Cao withdrew his hand and was about to check Xiao Mo's knees and legs, but Xiao Mo spoke coldly.
"Don't bother, I'm not hurt anywhere."
"Don't listen to her, just check it out."
There was a hint of anger in Qi Yue's tone of command, which made Imperial Physician Cao dare not hesitate any longer.
He checked Xiao Mo's joints and leg bones through her clothes to see if they were dislocated or injured.
After the operation, he retreated to Qi Yue and knelt down: "The Crown Princess's knee joint is slightly dislocated, but it's not a big problem.
If you have any external injuries, I'll ask His Highness to send a palace maid to examine you."
"How long is the recuperation period?" Their coronation ceremony cannot be delayed.
Qi Yue didn't say the second half of the sentence, but this was the first thing that came to his mind.
"This..." Imperial Physician Cao glanced at Xiao Mo quickly and nervously, then looked at Qi Yue with an uncertain look.
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although the Crown Princess's injury isn't serious, she still needs three or two months of recuperation."
Seeing that he looked at her and then said what she wanted to say, Xiao Mo's originally expressionless face changed imperceptibly.
It seems that Imperial Physician Cao knew something, so he helped her lie at this time.
"Three or two months, so can she stand up and walk around these days?"
Qi Yue narrowed his eyes and was not very satisfied with the answer from Imperial Physician Cao.
Imperial Physician Cao glanced at Xiao Mo again. This time he paused and saw through Xiao Mo's thoughts.
"For the next few days, stay in bed and recuperate. After a few days, you should be able to walk slowly without any major problems."
These words once again struck her heart. She curled her lips into a smile and looked at Imperial Physician Cao.
"Please ask Imperial Physician Cao to prescribe some painkillers for me. Add some saffron to the medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. As an imperial physician, you should know how to do this."
Imperial Physician Cao didn't understand why she emphasized saffron, because she had a dislocated knee, so it went without saying that saffron would be in the medicine he gave her.
After a brief thought, he responded in a calm voice.
In his opinion, Xiao Mo's medical skills were not inferior to his, so it was impossible for her to mention saffron for no reason. Since she mentioned it, she must have had her reasons.
Qi Yue folded his hands across his chest, raised his chin slightly, and glanced at the palace maids waiting not far away: "Everyone, leave."
After everyone retreated behind the screen, he walked over to Xiao Mo, squatted down, put her feet on his legs, and slowly rolled up her trouser legs above her knees.
Xiao Mo just looked at him silently, without any resistance to his touch.
She no longer wanted to say anything about the man in front of her.
"The skin isn't broken, just a large bruise. I asked Imperial Physician Cao to prescribe some topical medicine and it will be fine after rubbing it on."
Qi Yue looked up at her with a distressed look on his face, then gently lowered her trouser legs and straightened the hem of her skirt.
Xiao Mo kept looking out the window indifferently, as if she didn't hear what Qi Yue said.
"Why do you have to be with me? You are the crown prince now, and you will be the emperor in the future. You will have countless beauties by your side.
When you meet someone you really like, you will realize how foolish it is to be obsessed with a woman like this now."
Her voice floats, giving people a feeling of being ethereal and untainted by the world.
Qi Yue held her face in his hands and made her look straight at him: "How do you know that you are not the one I really like?"
