The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 939

Chapter 939: 428 Young Master Hou (two updates)_2

Princess Xinyang did not speak.

"Princess, I’m not lying to you... He really..." Yujin’s words halted abruptly upon seeing Princess Xinyang’s expression.

The serenity and cold loneliness that always graced Princess Xinyang’s face remained, but her eyes were a complex mix of emotions, yet surprisingly, devoid of astonishment.

All sounds from Yujin disappeared.

But it was only a moment before she found her voice again, "Princess, do you... already know?"

Yujin wanted to ask her when she found out.

Was it during the time when Long Yi ambushed the prisoner carriage, or even earlier?

Princess Xinyang turned and went into the next-door Study Room.

When Yujin reached the doorway, intending to follow her in, she felt the immense sense of distance and solitude emanating from Princess Xinyang.

She did not want anyone to enter the room.

Yujin stopped at the threshold, staring blankly at Princess Xinyang who enclosed herself in the depths of darkness, her gaze flickering as she asked, "Princess, is he the young Marquis?"

...

Xiao Liulang was severely injured.

Yujin went to the nearby Medical Hall and fetched a doctor, who, after glancing at the wound, directly stated that with his medical skills, he could not save the patient’s hand.

This hand had been injured once, fractured once, and had been jostled many times by assassins, which was certainly no more promising than having been frozen in the Snowfield for several hours.

The doctor, who still had a conscience in the medical community, sighed and said, "I’ve heard that doctors from the Medical Hall are extraordinary and can even reattach a severed palm. Madam, perhaps you should seek a doctor from there to have a look!"

Just as Yujin was about to personally go to the Medical Hall to summon a doctor, Gu Jiao arrived.

Gu Jiao received news from the imperial guards and her intuition told her that Xiao Liulang had been saved by Princess Xinyang. Whether it was her or Long Yi who had intervened, she could not be certain.

Yujin was slightly startled, "Gu Miss?"

Gu Jiao said, "Is my husband here?"

Yujin looked at her confusedly, "Your... husband?"

Gu Jiao said earnestly, "The Hanlin officer, Xiao Liulang."

Yujin was once again at a loss for words.

She might have used up a lifetime’s worth of surprises tonight.

Gu Jiao went to Princess Xinyang’s chamber. Right now she had no time to ponder over Yujin’s or Princess Xinyang’s thoughts—she immediately checked on Xiao Liulang’s injuries.
