Chapter 40: Two men in a play

"Your Majesty." Lan Ying bowed.

When Su Qian Xing saw that the person was about to get up from bed, he called out 'royal father' and was about to bow.

Su He was one step faster than him. He reached out his hand and gently pressed him back down, then patted his hand. "Don't bow, lie down, lie down. How are your injuries?"

"Cough, cough …" Su Qianxing shook his head and pursed his lips in a very filial manner, "It's alright, Imperial Father, don't worry. This matter is all your son's fault, your son did not manage well enough and allowed the thieves to take advantage of you. Your son originally thought that the banquet at the palace would be rather boring, but now such a thing actually happened, it's all your son's fault for being careless, your son shouldn't be acting on your own."

Sigh ~ The Crown Prince shouldn't belittle himself, you've always been a calm and meticulous man, and this was just an accident. Besides, I've agreed to the Jun Chen Banquet outside the palace, and if you say that you are responsible, then I can't escape, and you're injured because of me.

Lan Ying took a step forward. With a trace of viciousness in her eyes, she said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has always been meticulous when it comes to handling matters. Although he left the palace in a hurry, I don't think he would make such a low level mistake.

Su Qianxing's fingers trembled as he spoke gently, "Your son is guilty and has frightened your father. However, this matter is too big, and if it were spread out, it would damage your royal family's reputation. According to your son's view, you should investigate carefully and capture those thieves as soon as possible. This matter was originally your son's responsibility, so your son requests your father to have your son thoroughly investigate this matter."

The Crown Prince is right, it's just that you are currently injured, and the most important thing for you to do is to recuperate from your injuries. We have already sent Yang Zhi to do this, as the commander of the imperial guards, he should have done this.

Su Qian Xing was stunned for a moment, as though he didn't expect Su He to reject his request. "But Imperial Father …"

"Since the crown prince was injured, he should have taken more time to rest. Otherwise, how would he be able to help royal father deal with matters in the future?" Su Qianhan stepped into the tent.

His appearance caused everyone in the tent to look up.

Upon seeing this person, a trace of gentleness flashed across Sang He's eyes. His tone of voice also changed, becoming less imperial and more fatherly. "Han'er is here?"

"Father." Su Qian Han lowered his gaze. Even the emperor's voice was cold. He bowed slightly, not out of respect from the bottom of his heart, but because he felt that there was a difference between a king and his subjects.

Xiao Qing Qing stood outside the tent and watched the scene inside with pursed lips. When she saw Su Qian Han's reaction, her eyes flashed.

"Duke Han, what do you mean?" Lan Ying smirked, but she did not reveal her identity. "The crown prince was injured for the sake of your majesty. Why do I feel that the words that Duke Han said earlier contained some schadenfreude?"

Su Qian stood at the center of the tent with a cold expression and replied calmly, "Esteemed empress is overthinking it. This king is only discussing matters."

"You …"

"Alright." Sober He waved his hand and impatiently interrupted her, saying in a suppressed voice, "The crown prince is heavily injured now. As a mother, you shouldn't care too much about your son's injuries. How come you still have time to make a ruckus here?"

Lan Ying choked. She subconsciously clenched her hand under her sleeve. Although she was unwilling, she had to endure it. "Your Majesty is right."

Su Qian Xing had just been injured when he rescued the carriage. Now that he heard Su He speak to his mother in such a tone in front of so many enemies, he naturally felt upset, but he didn't show it on his face and only half-closed his eyes, "Royal father is right. Commander Yang has been the leader of the imperial guards for a long time.

"Alright, since that's the case, I won't disturb your rest any longer." He patted his exposed hand again.

"Chenqie will accompany Your Majesty first." Lan Ying gave Su Qian a meaningful glance before stepping forward.

Sang He nodded and stood up. He looked at Su Qianhan as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, perhaps it was because someone wanted to say something, so he left without saying it.

Su Qian Xing respectfully bowed his head on the bed, "Greetings to Imperial Father and Mother."

Su Qianhan didn't say anything and only lowered his head as he passed by Su He symbolically, ignoring Lan Ying's sharp eyes.

Xiao Qing hid outside the tent and waited for the two to leave before stepping in. The anxiety on her face did not recede even a little: "Qian Xing, are you alright?"

With one hand on the bed, Su Qian Xing watched as she approached him. With much difficulty, he propped himself up with his other hand. "Qing Qing, you're here?"

"En, I was here before, but I couldn't enter since the empress and emperor were here." Xiao Qing arrogantly walked over, and seemingly casually sat on the bedside as she intimately covered him with a blanket. "Qing Shui has already told me about your injuries, how is it? Are you all right? "

"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a superficial wound. I'll be fine after recuperating for a while." Su Qian Xing pursed his lips and asked caringly, "I didn't find you when the assassin was running amok. Where did you go? It worried me for a long time. "

"Miss Zhao wants to compete with me, so I rode my horse into the forest. However, the road inside the forest is winding and I accidentally got lost, so …" Xiao Qing pursed her lips, feeling a little helpless, but then she started to blame herself: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that such a big thing had happened here."

"Heh, idiot. What's there to be sorry about? It's not like you sent people to assassinate me." Su Qianxing placed his hand on the back of her hand.

Not far away, when Su Qianhan saw this, his eyes darkened.

The white clothes on the bed and the blue dress on the bedside matched each other. The perfect match seemed to pierce his eyes.

Su Qian laughed coldly and said sarcastically, "Indeed, the assassin has not been found. Although this matter has already been handed over to the imperial guards, it seems that the crown prince has to pay some of his responsibilities. It seems like the crown prince will be busy returning to the palace tomorrow."

Xiao Qing Qing froze for a moment. It wasn't because this man would rarely interrupt other people's conversation, but because this was the first time she had heard Su Qian Han's mockery.

Didn't this man usually don't like to interfere in other people's affairs?

After all, even though he already knew that someone was plotting against him in the bamboo forest, he still arrogantly walked into the trap, as if he did not put anyone in his eyes at all.

Su Qianxing was also stunned. He squinted his eyes as a strange glint flashed across his eyes. However, he did not pursue the question and changed the topic, "I heard that Second Imperial Brother was not in the tent earlier. Did he get lost in the forest as well?"

Su Qian Han laughed and replied coldly, "There is nothing wrong with getting lost, it is just that I met a few beasts that would bite. I wanted to capture two of them but I didn't expect the meat of those beasts to be sour and stinky."

"Is that so?" Su Qian Xing smirked, "Since they are wild beasts in the forest, they are definitely not good animals. Although some are barely edible, I'm afraid some are hard to swallow."

"Heh, His Highness the Crown Prince is right, but this King thinks that the kind of animals that are like that are probably not good stuff." A hint of coldness could be heard in Su Qian Han's voice.

Su Qian Xing's gaze darkened as he replied gently, "Yes." He then shifted his gaze to Xiao Qing Qing, "You're right. Since you know that you can't find the way, and you're so big, and I've heard Second Imperial Brother say that there are wild beasts inside, how about injuring you?"

Xiao Qingran had just heard the bickering between the two brothers and felt that it was rather interesting. She was suddenly pulled to the side by someone and almost missed the conversation: "Ah, I will notice it in the future."

"Your Highness." Clear Water's voice came from outside. "Your Highness Crown Prince, the imperial physician has sent the medicine over."

"Let him in."

Su Qianxing turned to look at Xiao Qing and smiled, "Qingyi, I need to change the medicine. It's not convenient for you to be here, and it's already so late. Go back and rest, don't worry about me. "

"That's good. Since you have a good rest, I'll come see you tomorrow." Xiao Qingran did not refuse and nodded her head to follow his instructions.

"This King shall not disturb you then." Seeing that she was about to leave, Su Qian Han's eyes darkened and was about to follow her out.

Su Qian Xing sat on the bed, looking at the man's back as he spoke, "Second Imperial Brother, today's matter happened so suddenly and Imperial Father was almost injured. With so many imperial relatives and relatives watching, I'm sure this matter can't be concealed anymore.

Su Qianhan turned her back to him and did not turn around. Her tone was still cold and without any fluctuations as she said, "This king has always hated these trivial matters. It doesn't matter if I have a good opinion or not. The crown prince is more curious about these things."

As he spoke, he stepped out of the tent and brushed past the imperial physician.

As Su Qian Xing watched the man leave, his gaze gradually darkened. The weak look on his face was also gone.

Su Qianhan walked out of the tent and looked up to see Xiao Qing Ran standing in front of her.

"Your Highness." A gust of wind came out of nowhere and stood behind him.

Su Qian Han waved his hand and the latter lowered his head and followed behind him.

Su Qianhan squinted his eyes and started walking over.

At this moment, Xiao Qing Qing was impatiently listening to Zhao Xin'er's nonsense. She curled her lips and crossed her chest: "Are you done speaking?"

Zhao Xin'er gritted her teeth in hatred, "I won this time, why? Xiao Qing Ran, you want to renege on the debt?! "

"There's nothing to go back on. I've already prepared the money. Even if you don't stop me, I'll send someone to send it to you." As Xiao Qingran spoke, he casually pulled out the jade pendant from his chest and threw it over. He said angrily: "Look, this is yours now."
