Unexpectedly, only two hours after Xiao Xuan returned to Yihua Palace, the chamberlain who was waiting by Xiao Yu's side came to report that Xiao Yu and Xiao Jun had an accident at the racecourse.

Xiao Xuan was originally accompanying Concubine Liu and Liu Shufu to eat tea and talk under the corridor, and Concubine Liuhuang, who heard the news, got up suddenly, but her body shook and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Liu Shufu and Sui Hong supported her left and right in time.

"Why don't you hurry up and be more careful!" Concubine Liu was shocked when she heard the bad news, Xiao Xuan recalled the strangeness of Xiao Yu bringing her back today, and the panic in her heart dissipated a lot, calmed down and let the man come forward to reply.

"It turned out that the six princes urged the horses tightly and caused the horses to suddenly startle, and they were about to stop and crash into the horses of the eldest prince, but a prince surnamed Duan stopped the horses of the six highnesses in time. After the three of them fell off the horse, they were all fine. ”

"Mother, you see it's all right." When Xiao Xuan heard this, he completely relieved his heart, turned to Emperor Liu, and said. "Did that person hurt anywhere?"

"The eldest prince and the sixth prince were both bruised, and the prince surnamed Duan was kicked by the horse's hooves when he fell off the horse. The eldest prince has immediately found someone to go to the Tai Hospital and let people rescue him. ”

Concubine Liu was so frightened that her face turned white, and it took a while to sit down and come to her senses.

"Mother, the eldest brother suddenly asked me to come back to the palace today, thinking that I got the news in advance, but I didn't expect that my hands and feet would move on the sixth brother's horse." Xiao Xuan stood behind Emperor Liu and asked in a low voice. "But there must be a reason for everything, and the palace has been very calm recently, why did they suddenly have an accident?"

"In another month, it will be the day when the show girl enters the palace to be selected." Concubine Liu Huang seemed to have recovered and said with a cold face. "They want to hurt your eldest brother and sixth brother, and in addition to stealing a powerful marriage for themselves, they will completely destroy your eldest brother."

In the first election of the fifth year of the Jokhang Dynasty, Emperor Chu said that his harem was already abundant, and there was no need for any more people to serve. However, several princes have reached the age of marriage, and there are also close branches of the clan who want to seek a decent marriage in front of Emperor Chu.

Therefore, many famous families in the imperial capital this time focused their attention on the second prince raised by the queen and the eldest prince from Emperor Liu's concubine.

Although Emperor Chu is in his prime, the matter of establishing a prince will not be concluded in a short time. But only one thing is certain, a disabled prince will never be able to ascend to the throne of the prince.

"Xuan'er, the news inside and outside the palace spreads quickly." Emperor Liu's concubine had already made up her mind in her heart. "Although your brother is not seriously injured, you can go and take a look for me, and take a look at that Lan Ge'er's injury casually. Let Suihong go with you, and bring another Dandong ginseng that I just entered a few days ago. ”

Xiao Xuan changed her clothes and just left Yihua Palace, and the green forest she had just sent out to inquire about the news came back.

"Your Highness, after the incident, Your Highness has ordered someone to bring the Imperial Doctor and Duan Gongzi back to his palace." The green forest was attached to Xiao Xuan's ears. "The eldest prince and the sixth prince are indeed fine, but Duan Gongzi was kicked by a horse's hooves when he landed, and he vomited blood at that time."

"Alright, I got it."

The residence of the eldest prince is the Chonghua Palace, and when Xiao Xuan arrived with people, he found that all the people in the Chonghua Hall were acting in an orderly manner and did not panic at all, only the side hall had a calm face from time to time.

"Green Forest, you take someone to wait outside, and Suihong will follow me in."

The chamberlain reported the news of Xiao Xuan's arrival, and everyone waiting in the side hall looked at each other without saying a word.

"Sixth brother, there is blood in the hall and a foreign man to treat his injuries, it is not appropriate for Xuan'er to come in." Xiao Yu had no choice but to order his brother Xiao Jun. "But it must be the mother who got the news and asked her to come, you go out and talk to her, so that she can rest assured."

"Okay, I see, brother." Xiao Jun was still shocked.

On the racecourse, he invited Duan Shaolan to compete, a best-of-three system, and when the accident occurred, it was the time to compete in the second round. Duan Shaolan's kung fu in riding and archery was indeed slightly higher than him, and seeing that the distance between Duan Shaolan and him was gradually increasing, he hurriedly urged the horse's whip to make it extra hard.

Suddenly, he startled the horse, the horse turned its head and rushed to Xiao Yu on the sidelines, he strangled the reins until he tore the flesh of his palm, and he couldn't control the horse from crashing into Xiao Yu. Fortunately, Duan Shaolan noticed the abnormality and turned the horse's head in time to ride over to block the two of them, he unloaded most of the strength of the horse, and the three of them were all knocked off the horse by the momentum at that time. The two brothers only suffered slight skin injuries when they fell to the side, but Duan Shaolan was unlucky enough to fall down and was kicked in the chest and abdomen by a horse's hooves, and immediately vomited a pool of blood and fainted.

Xiao Xuan was stopped outside the side hall, and when he saw Xiao Jun coming out, he immediately stepped forward.

"Sixth brother, how are you hurt?" Xiao Xuan approached and found that there was blood on Xiao Jun's face, and he hurriedly asked with anxiety in his heart.

"Oh, I'm fine." Xiao Jun waved his hand again and again. "It's just looking at the bluffing skin wounds, and it will be good to recuperate for two days."

"What about Big Brother?" Fang Yi's peace of mind in Yihua Palace, after seeing the dried blood stains on Xiao Jun's face, Xiao Xuan became worried at this time. "Is someone from the hospital here? Are you sure you're all just skin wounds? ”

Outside the side hall, Xiao Xuan pulled Xiao Jun and asked in detail, for fear that the person who had just passed the word and Lu Lin would inquire about the details of something.

In the side hall, the two imperial doctors surrounded Duan Shaolan, who was still lying unconscious on the couch, for a long time before he took out to talk back to Xiao Yu.

"How is Duan Gongzi's body hurting?" Xiao Yu did get the rumor, and someone would calculate herself on the horse farm before the show girl entered the palace to be selected, so she took precautions in advance.

But he didn't expect that person to move his hands and feet to Xiao Jun, so Duan Shaolan reacted very quickly and saved himself and Xiao Jun in time.

"Back to the eldest prince, Duan Gongzi's skin injury is a trivial matter, but he was kicked between the chest and abdomen by the horse's hooves and injured his viscera."

"Is it a big deal?"

"Fortunately, the eldest prince handled it properly, Duan Gongzi did not suffer additional bumps, and his injury has stabilized at present, but it is not easy to move for the time being, and he needs to rest well for more than a month before he can heal."

The doctor prescribed the medicine, so it was convenient to withdraw and go to grab the medicine according to the prescription.

"Big brother." When the people in the side hall were about to retreat, Xiao Xuan broke in, rushed to Xiao Yu, grabbed his arm tightly, and looked up and down several times. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Xuan's nervous expression, and the thoughts that had been tense finally relaxed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. "You go back and tell your mother that my sixth brother and I are fine."

"yes, I see." Xiao Xuan nodded, she tilted her head to see Duan Shaolan lying behind. "And what happened to him?"

"It's okay that some internal injuries are not serious, but it is not suitable to move for the time being, and you need to recuperate." Xiao Yu also looked back at Duan Shaolan. "I want to send someone to the Zhenguo Mansion to report that he will have to stay in the palace for at least a while, and I will have to inform his family of his injuries."

Fortunately, the residence of the princes is far away from the palace where the concubines live, and there is no obstacle for Duan Shaolan, a foreign man, to live here to recuperate.

"The eldest brother who went to the Zhenguo Mansion to report the news might as well hand it over to Suihong, she is the highest-ranking female official next to the mother, and she is also the most useful person for the mother, and the internal and external wives are familiar with her." Xiao Xuan beckoned Sui Hong to step forward. "The matter has happened, Chonghua Hall can be thrown to the sixth brother for the time being, and the eldest brother will go and talk to his father about it."

"It's up to you." Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Xuan, and for the first time, she felt that her childish sister had grown up a lot. "I will entrust the sixth brother to take care of Chonghua Palace, you go back to accompany your mother concubine and don't let her worry too much."

Xiao Xuan returned to Yihua Palace, and Concubine Liu stood under the corridor waiting for her.

"Mother." Xiao Xuan lowered his head and walked up to Concubine Liu and stretched out his hands. "Hug me, okay?"

"What's wrong?" Concubine Liu Huang took Xiao Xuan into her arms, patted her back lightly and said. "Is it your eldest brother and sixth brother who are seriously injured?"

"No, the eldest brother and the sixth brother only suffered skin injuries, but the son of the Duan family who saved them was kicked by the horse's hooves and has not woken up yet."

Concubine Liu Huang pulled Xiao Xuan to sit down and asked everything carefully.

"You did the right thing, since that Brother Lan is injured and it is not easy to move, it is okay to stay in Chonghua Hall to recuperate. The palace where your brother lives is far away from the palace of our harem maids, so it doesn't matter if you keep him. Someone's brother was injured in the palace to save your brother, and we have to be appeased. ”

Concubine Liu said softly to Xiao Xuan.

"I have already sent Suihong from the side of my mother to the Zhenguo Mansion to deliver the message." Xiao Xuan told Emperor Liu about his and Xiao Yu's handling of this matter. "The eldest brother left the sixth brother in the Chonghua Palace, and now he has gone to report this matter to his father."

"Okay." Emperor Liu's eyes wandered, and she got up and said. "You go back to your own palace, I have to go to Zhaoyang Palace."

"What is the mother concubine going to Zhaoyang Palace for?" Xiao Xuan asked puzzled.

"Although the accident happened in the second room that was at odds with the prince of Zhenguo, but on the surface, it was the queen's nephew who prevented the disaster for your two brothers." Concubine Liu Huang asked someone to make up for her. "If I really sit in my own palace and do nothing, it will not be appropriate."

"Mother, are you going to ask the queen for your guilt?"

"I can't say that I am guilty, but how can I say that the injured person is a child of the Zhenguo Mansion, I must go there myself." Concubine Liu Huang sat in front of the dressing table and said with a calm face. "Go back to your own temple."

After Emperor Liu's concubine was tidied up, she got up and hurriedly left Yihua Palace towards Zhaoyang Palace.

Xiao Xuan watched her leave inside the door, and suddenly her legs fell backwards.

"Second princess." Liu Shufu was walking over with someone, and when she saw this, she hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Xuan.

"Auntie." Xiao Xuan looked at Liu Shufu, who was firmly holding him behind him, and in the blink of his eyes, tears the size of beans fell. "I'm scared."
