Chapter 131 Accidental Injury

A few days later, Zhu Zhanji accompanied Zhu Di out of the city to Beijing.

"Your Majesty, can't you see His Highness with so many people around?" Hu Shanxiang specifically went to ask the Imperial Concubine for a pass to leave the palace. Lingzhi and Yannan accompanied her out today.

The three of them were watching from the city wall. There was a huge crowd of people below. The procession of His Majesty and His Highness had all arrived in Beijing in front, but they could not see them at all.

"It doesn't matter whether you see it or not. What matters is the thought behind it." Hu Shanxiang also tried hard to look, but still couldn't see anything.

"The Queen has come here specially to see you off. I wonder if Your Highness knows about this?" Lingzhi said.

"Your Highness and the Queen are in perfect sync. Your Highness will definitely understand," Yan Nan said.

"You can still talk."

At the foot of the city wall, Zhu Zhanji kept looking up at the city wall.

"Your Highness's neck is almost as long as that of the Qilin." Wu Cheng said, looking at Zhu Zhanji's stretched neck.

"Believe it or not, the Queen will definitely see me off on the city wall?" Zhu Zhanji said confidently.

"I believe that Madam Tingshu specifically asked Madam Guifei to leave the palace today. It is self-evident what Madam Guifei is going to do when she leaves the palace."

"You are well-informed." Zhu Zhanji could hardly hide the smile on his face.

"It's okay. The master's business is the servant's business." Wu Cheng said modestly.

"It's just that the team is too far away, and the Empress can't be seen. I'm sure the Empress can't see me either." Zhu Zhanji said regretfully.

"Whether you look at it or not, Your Highness and Your Majesty are of the same mind." Wu Cheng immediately flattered him.

"Of course." Zhu Zhanji felt happy when he thought so.

"Agui, what are you looking at? Get ready to go." Zhu Di urged him when he saw him still outside the carriage.

"Grandpa Emperor, your grandson will be right here." Zhu Zhanji got on the carriage in two or three steps.

"It's hard for you to leave right after your wedding. I think the Crown Princess will be reluctant to let you go?" Zhu Di asked after he came up.

"Your grandson's wife is very generous. Yesterday, your grandson was reluctant to leave. Was it her who persuaded him?"

"You, but you are newlyweds, why don't we go as soon as possible and see if we can get back before the New Year?"

"It's already September, Your Majesty. It will take at least two months to go back and forth. If he comes back at the end of the year, wouldn't it be too hasty?" Zhu Zhanji calculated the time.

"When I was on the march, I often traveled a thousand miles a day. Let's go faster. Forty days will be enough for the round trip."

"Okay. Then let's listen to Grandpa Emperor." Zhu Zhanji didn't know what to say since Zhu Di said so. It would be a good thing if he could come back as soon as possible.

"Go back early so that you can reunite with the Crown Princess. Otherwise, it will be hard for you to spend the first year apart." Zhu Di said to him.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhanji suddenly remembered that he had accompanied the emperor to Beijing last time. At that time, he and Shanxiang were still strangers, and the emperor had passed on his experience to him. He couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Di asked curiously.

"My grandson remembered the last time he went to Beijing with Grandpa Huang. At that time, Grandpa Huang taught me how to chase girls."

Zhu Di also remembered, "Now that you mention it, I remember it too. Hey, the girl you mentioned at that time was the Crown Prince's Consort, right?" The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more he felt that it was.

"Nothing can be hidden from you."

"But I don't understand. Since you and the Crown Princess were... at that time, why did you become so close with Sun after you came back?" Zhu Di never understood this.

"At that time, Shanxiang suddenly returned to Jining, and my grandson had a misunderstanding with her and was upset with her. I did this to piss her off... Later, because Sun was arranged by my maternal grandparents, it was difficult to refuse. Fortunately, she is now happily married to Xiaoqi, which can be considered fate."

"So that's how it is." Zhu Di nodded. It turned out that Sun was the one who took advantage of the situation.

"Speaking of which, Concubine Sun is about to give birth, right?"

"That should be the case." Zhu Di has never cared much about this matter. If it was Zhu Zhanji's future child, he might care.

Zhu Zhanji thought that it would be best if Sun gave birth to that fool Zhu Qizhen in the Hanwang family.

"You are not young anymore. You should prepare to be a father in two years."

"You are so anxious to have your great-grandson just after his wedding. Aren't you too anxious?"

"I didn't say you should give birth right away. Doesn't this mean you should wait a year or two?"

“It also depends on fate.”

“You just can’t try harder.”

"My grandson is so busy that he doesn't have time." You called him out to work not long after the wedding. How could he give birth? He also wanted to see his and Shanxiang's daughter as soon as possible, his eldest princess. Well, he didn't give her fatherly love in the last life, so he must spoil her to heaven in this life.

"My queen, the team has gone far away, we have to go back." There was no one to be seen under the tower. Hu Shanxiang had no choice but to turn around and said, "Let's go back."

"Greetings, Her Majesty." Hu Xuan suddenly appeared.

"Second brother, why are you here!" Hu Shanxiang was surprised to see her second brother here.

"His Highness specifically instructed me to wait for you here and escort you back to the palace." Hu Xuan said with a bow.

"Your Highness, what's wrong..." Hu Shanxiang looked back in the direction where Zhu Zhanji left.

"It's true that His Highness and His Majesty are in perfect sync with each other." Lingzhi and Yannan whispered on the side.

"Your Majesty, the carriage is here." Hu Xuan took her downstairs.

"How is your family these days?" Hu Shanxiang asked.

"Everything is fine. Is everything okay in the palace, Your Majesty?" Hu Xuan asked back.

"I'm fine in the palace, so don't worry about me at home."

"That's good." Hu Xuan saw that his sister looked good and believed that she was not lying.

"Why didn't my second brother accompany His Highness this time?" Hu Shanxiang thought that his second brother was also among the entourage.

"In reply to your Majesty, my elder brother went with you this time, and I was left behind. Your Majesty asked me to protect your Majesty."

"I'm in the palace, how could there be any danger? The same goes for Your Highness." Hu Shanxiang felt that Zhu Zhanji was thinking too much.

"Your Highness is also worried about the Queen."

"I also understood."

The carriage was driving on the road, Hu Xuan was driving the carriage himself, and suddenly, a carriage came galloping towards him on the wide road. Hu Xuan managed to avoid it, but he still accidentally hit the vendor next to him. Hu Shanxiang, who was sitting in the carriage, lost control of herself, and her body swayed in the carriage, and her head hit the edge of the window.

"How is the Queen? Is she okay?" After Hu Xuan stopped the carriage, he hurried to check on Hu Shanxiang.

"It's okay, I just bumped into something, it's nothing serious. Is my second brother okay? What happened?" Hu Shanxiang said after she steadied herself.

"Just now a carriage suddenly rushed over from the opposite direction, and I dodged it..."

"Then no one was hit, right?" Hu Shanxiang was also scared after hearing this. Isn't this the ancient version of a car accident?

"Fortunately, no one caught it. It just hit a few vendors' stalls on the roadside." Hu Xuan said after going down to check.

"That's good. As for the losses of the vendors, let my second brother compensate them." Hu Shanxiang was relieved to hear that there were no casualties.

"We don't know which mansion this carriage belongs to. Why are you in such a hurry? What if something happens?" Yan Nan was also frightened by the situation just now, and his heartbeat hasn't recovered yet.

"Who said it wasn't? Fortunately, nothing happened to the Queen. If something had happened, it would have been disastrous." Lingzhi also echoed.

"Oh, how come everything is fine? Your Majesty's forehead is swollen." Yan Nan said in surprise.

Hu Shanxiang just felt a little pain. After hearing what Yan Nan said, she touched it lightly with her hand and found that it was indeed swollen.

When Lingzhi heard this, she came closer to take a look. She was shocked when she saw it. "It's not just swollen, it's bleeding. No, we have to go back to the palace to deal with it." Hu Xuan was still dealing with the vendor's affairs. Lingzhi hurried to find him and told him about the situation.

Hu Xuan came over nervously, "Your Majesty, this is still a little far from the palace. I know there is a good doctor on this street. How about we go and see him first?"

"Okay." Hu Shanxiang felt more pain now, and it would be better if it could be dealt with as soon as possible, so she agreed to this matter.

Hu Xuan didn't want to waste any time and drove to the clinic immediately.

Sure enough, after a while, Hu Xuan stopped the carriage and said, "The Queen is here."

Yan Nan helped Hu Shanxiang out of the carriage.

"Doctor, doctor." Hu Xuan shouted after entering.

"This young man has an urgent matter." A medicine boy came up to him and said.

"It's urgent. Please ask your doctor to come and check on this girl. She accidentally bumped into something and it's swollen now." Hu Xuan grabbed him and said.

The medicine boy looked behind him and said, "Wait a minute, sir. The Han Palace has invited many doctors over. This girl has only a superficial wound. I'll ask the female doctor to come and bandage her."

"Okay, then go quickly." Hu Xuan let him go immediately after hearing what he said.

"Those of you please sit down and wait."

"Your Majesty, let's sit down first." Lingzhi helped Hu Shanxiang sit down.

Soon, a female doctor came over, checked Hu Shanxiang's wound, asked about the situation, and then applied medicine and bandaged her.

"Miss, remember not to let the wound get wet in the next few days. This is an ointment to reduce swelling. Apply it once in the morning and evening every day, and it will be healed in a few days." The female doctor took out the ointment and gave it to her.

"Thank you very much." Hu Shanxiang thanked.

A few people came out of the clinic and suddenly heard someone say, "Did you see the carriage that just passed by?"

"Did you see it? What happened?" the man asked. Just now a speeding horse-drawn carriage suddenly appeared on the street and it was said that it hit many vendors.

"I heard it was a carriage from the Prince of Han's palace." The man lowered his voice and said.

"Han Palace?"

"Well, I heard that the lady had a difficult birth, so they invited all the doctors from this clinic to come over. That's why they are in such a hurry."

"I see? That's understandable, but it would be bad if it hit someone."

"We ordinary people have cheap lives. If you really get hit, you can only consider yourself unlucky and go to the palace to seek justice. Who will pay attention to you?"

"That's right. Who cares about our lives? Besides, His Royal Highness the King of Han has always been favored by His Majesty. We can't afford to offend him."

"Let's go, we have to go home for dinner."

After hearing this, they also returned to the palace.
