"The crown prince is you. Were you robbed by bandits?" The moment Old Liang saw this b.l.o.o.d.y Xiang Yun, his face bruised and swollen, he had almost lost control of his wine gourd.

"Aiyo, Crown Prince, you must have fallen ten thousand steps."

Old Liang took the horses out of the stable and went to the side to tie up the carriage.

It was night. Seeing that it was already late at night, the Apricot Altar Garden, which had been bustling for the entire night, finally quietened down.

Shortly after the banquet ended, the guests had already been arranged to stay in the inns of Silver City! As for the distinguished guests in the pavilion, the w.a.n.g Mansion had already cleaned up the guest rooms in the mansion and placed them inside.

At this moment, only Xiang Tian, Xiang Jinghong, and Xiang Jinglei were on the second floor of the Spring Pavilion!

At this moment, Xiang Jinghong was holding a pile of Royal Mansion healing medicine in his arms, waiting for Xiang Yun to come back and immediately give it to him!

"Hmph, didn't he want to die very much? If he was frozen to death outside, wouldn't he have let him do as he pleased?" Xiang Tian sat on the teacher's chair, his expression a little gloomy, his tone cold!

"Father, third brother is still young after all, and cannot afford to be wronged. Moreover, you can't blame third brother for everything that has happened today, even if you tell the truth."

"The princess of the pheasant phoenix race was also responsible. If she had not been so ruthless and merciless, my third brother would have at most taken advantage of her. How could he have ended up like this!"

Xiang Tian shot a glance at the two brothers before saying in a deep voice, "Alright, you two brothers, don't talk about the princess behind her back anymore. This matter is over!"

Hearing this, Xiang Jinghong was immediately overjoyed. Since his father had said that this matter was over, naturally, Xiang Yun could return. Immediately, Xiang Jinghong once again personally ran off as an errand boy, escaping from the Spring Pavilion and heading straight for the east gate of the Apricot Altar Garden.

"Hmm?" Looking at the strange expressions on Xiang Jinghong's face, both Xiang Tian and Xiang Jinghong revealed puzzled expressions.

"Eh …" Xiang Jinghong lowered his head, hesitating as to whether he should open his mouth or not.

Xiang Jinghong's face revealed a pained expression. He also knew that it was impossible to hide this matter, so he could only wave his hands helplessly, "Sigh, Royal Father. Third Brother has already set off for Qin Feng City."

Xiang Jinglei and Xiang Lingtian both opened their eyes wide, revealing expressions of extreme astonishment.

"Four hours ago, when Third Brother left the Apricot Altar Garden, he went straight to the backyard and took a carriage out of the mansion!"

Xiang Jinghong then pointed to the few soldiers behind him and said, "These are a few city guards from Silver City's North Gate. They saw Third Brother's carriage drive out of the North City Gate with their own eyes."

Xiang Tian's gaze swept over the soldiers as he asked in a deep voice, "Did you really see it with your own eyes?"

Those soldiers didn't dare to hide it from him. They nervously replied, "Reporting to the prince, it is indeed my subordinates who have personally cleared this place for the crown prince."

Hearing this, Xiang Tian remained silent as his expression changed for a while.

The soldiers roughly knew about the situation when they were on their way here. They were afraid that this high and mighty prince would blame them, so they were all terrified and sweating cold sweat!

"You may leave."

After a long while, Xiang Lingtian waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately retreated as if they had received amnesty. Xiang Ling then looked at the two brothers, Xiang Jinghong and Xiang Jinghong.

"Hmph, this stinking brat, his guts is really growing!" "Seems like the lesson taught is not enough!"

After saying that, the two brothers, who were staring at each other, left the Spring Pavilion without looking back.

"That's it?" After Xiang Lingtian had left the Spring Pavilion, Xiang Jinghong looked at Xiang Jinglei in disbelief.

Xiang Jinglei also looked at Xiang Jinghong in disbelief, "I had thought that royal father would capture that kid and give him a good beating."

The two of them looked at each other. Xiang Jinghong could not help but exclaim, "Seriously, Third Brother is really awesome today. He actually dares to speak to Royal Father like that. If it was Big Bro, would you dare?"

"How dare you!" After saying this, Xiang Jinglei turned and walked out of the Spring Pavilion.

On the other hand, w.a.n.g Xiangtian walked shoulder to shoulder as he returned to his own residence. He dismissed the servants following behind him and pushed open the door to enter alone.

Enter the chamber! The moment he closed the door, the latter's originally gloomy face, which was on the verge of dripping with water, turned into a bright smile just like the spring breeze!

"Hahaha!" "Xiang Tian suddenly laughed loudly. He laughed in an extremely carefree and happy manner!"

"We must protect this brat. After today, those people will probably be ready to make a move."

In the northwest direction of Silver City, on the public road that was more than twenty miles away from Silver City, Old Liang, who was holding a wine gourd and holding a horsewhip in one hand and drinking a mouthful of wine in the other, suddenly trembled.

Then, he subconsciously yelled, "Okay!"

Behind him, the master and servant in the carriage looked at Old Liang's back in surprise. Old Liang's stooped body stiffened slightly, and then he dragged out the word 'good' and added the word 'wine'!

"Good wine!"

Hearing this, Xiang Yun couldn't help but laugh mockingly, "Old Liang, old boy, what good wine do you have? It's just a pot of three dollars a pot of turbid wine bought from Gui Hua Lane in Qinfeng City. "Aiyo!"

Xiang Yun accidentally said too much and pulled the wound on his lips. It was so painful that he grimaced in pain, his entire body trembling!

"d.a.m.n, it really hurts!"

Within the carriage, Lin Wan'er's tears were streaming down her face. Looking at the swollen and somewhat purple Xiang Yun, she gently wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the embroidered cloth in her hand.

Although the outside of the carriage was a world of ice and snow, and the sky was freezing cold, a fire was burning inside the carriage, causing the interior of the carriage to look very red and warm.

Leaning on Lin Wan'er's soft shoulder, Xiang Yun grimaced and sucked in a few breaths of cold air, muttering curses as the wheels rolled and creaked. Xiang Yun's breathing gradually became even as he fell into a deep sleep.

The dark night was devoid of people. The Crown Prince, the maidservants, and the coachman were all walking towards the northwest of the Qin Feng City.

The deep roars of beasts could be heard from both sides of the dark forest, and green lantern-like eyes followed the carriage. The old man on the deck looked in the direction of the dense forest and let out a burp.

Three days later, at the eastern city gates of Qin Feng City, the fragrance of makeup wafted in the air along with the northwest wind. A black horse carriage entered from the city gates!

"Hu!"

"Prince, you're awake!" Lin Wan'er, who was behind him, saw that Xiang Yun had woken up. She hurriedly moved backwards, creating some distance between her and Xiang Yun's body. The latter raised his head and missed, almost falling to the ground.

"Heh … Heh … Heh … Heh … Heh … Heh … Heh … Heh … Heh … Heh … You better stop lying to me. You've recovered a long time ago!" Lin Wan'er pouted her cherry red lips as she spoke.

"You're just spouting nonsense. Does this prince still have any pain in my body?"

"Heh heh heh, heh, heh, heh. Stop lying. Last night, you …"

Lin Wan'er seemed to have thought of something, and a blush immediately appeared on her beautiful face. The latter turned her head away, shyly unable to say a word.

"Eh, Old Liang, how did you know I had a good dream?" Xiang Yun asked in surprise.

Old Liang smiled and said, "Master, you've been talking dreamily all night!"

"What did I just say?"

"Wan'er, good, Wan'er, your body is so soft, so fragrant. It's even more elastic than your 'Red Sleeves' and 'Caiwei' of the Phoenix Pavilion. I will definitely be feigning injury tomorrow and sleep on your body. When we return to my house, we will be on my bed."

At this time, Old Liang could not continue because Lin Wan'er's expression was so serious that it seemed as if she would chop Old Liang into pieces at any moment. Lin Wan'er quickly withdrew her head, turned around, and drove the carriage away.

Only Xiang Yun was left behind, his eyes wide open as he turned to look at Lin Wan'er, an awkward expression on his face.

"Hmm, Wan-Er, this dream is not for real. I am still recovering from my injury. Touch my face if you don't believe me. My face is still swollen!"

As Xiang Yun spoke, he reached out to grab Lin Wan'er's hand. How could Lin Wan'er be fooled by this big bad wolf again? With a single turn of his body, he dodged to the side, leaving behind a resentful Xiang Yun.

Lin Wan'er did not sympathize at all with him. Instead, she glared fiercely at Xiang Yun and ignored him!

Seeing this, Xiang Yun couldn't help but feel somewhat depressed. He remembered that on the night he returned from Silver City, his injuries had clearly been quite severe, and even he himself had felt that he had lost half his life.

However, that very night, after he fell into a deep sleep, he felt an indescribable energy from his golden spiritual roots spreading out and fusing into his entire body, causing him to feel as lazy as if he was in a hot spring!
