Married To The Cruel Crown Prince Chapter 292 - As A Friend

Chapter 292 - As A Friend

Jian Guozhi was on the bed in his chamber. He removed his upper garments and looked at his arm in the mirror. Though the doctor had treated it, he was still unsure if it was alright or not. The burning mark was itching him, making him feel uncomfortable. But unlike the earlier times, he was not feeling low. Instead, he was feeling good. For the first time, he stood against his mother! It was a great feeling for him.
He recalled after fighting with his mother, he finally got to the location of Hu Jingguo. Weng Wei had ordered her men to take him far from the Palace and burn him alive. Luckily, with the help of General Wang and General Xiao, he found Hu Jingguo. The promise that he had given to An-Ying Lili was fulfilled from his end.
He was lost in his thoughts when he heard the footsteps of someone. Immediately, he lifted his eyes and saw Xue Yu-Yan there. He knitted his brows and picked the white satin robe to wear, keeping the hand mirror on the mattress.
"What are you doing here?" He asked as he tied a knot on the satin robe. Xue Yu-Yan stopped a meter away from him.
"You are injured, so I thought to-"
"Leave from my sight. I do not need your fake sympathy," Jian Guozhi coldly answered her, averting his gaze from her.
"Jian Ge, I am no longer on the wrong path. The Crown Princess has forgiven me and I am improving myself," Xue Yu-Yan stated, keeping a tiny smile on her lips.
"Xue, Ying'er is kind, that's why she forgave you despite your attempts to harm her. She does not know your true self behind this face. But, I am well aware of this. You were the one who encouraged my mother to harm Ying'er. Because of you, she is in this state today," Jian Guozhi was furious at Xue Yu-Yan. He shut his eyes and continued, "Leave and don't show me your face! The two faces that I hate the most are my mother and you. So, just leave if you don't want to hear anything more from my mouth."
A tear rolled down Xue Yu-Yan's eye. She clutched her skirt and lowered her head. She suppressed her sobs and lifted her other hand in which she had brought the medicine from the infirmary. But before she could give it to Jian Guozhi, Zhilao Mi arrived there.
"Jian Ge," Zhilao Mi softly called out his name and went to him. Jian Guozhi was a little happy to see her. Zhilao Mi glanced at Xue Yu-Yan and took the medicine from her hand. "Sister Xue, I will apply this medicine," Zhilao Mi stated. Xue Yu-Yan nodded and passed a tiny smile to her. She looked at Jian Guozhi before leaving the chamber.
Xue Yu-Yan decided to see the Crown Princess once, although she knew her entry was forbidden there. It was late at night and soon she reached the Zhenzhu Inn. The Crown Prince had tightened the security there. The soldiers at the bottom of the stairs stopped her from going up.
"Is no one allowed to go there?" Xue Yu-Yan questioned the soldier.
"Apart from the Three Princes and the Generals, no one is allowed inside the Zhenzhu Inn," replied the soldier.
"How is the Crown Princess doing? Did she respond to the medicine?" Xue Yu-Yan was anxious.
"I do not know, your highness," replied the soldier.
Xue Yu-Yan looked up again towards the grand entrance of Zhenzhu Inn. Sighing, she turned and was ready to leave when she saw General Wang coming from the front with two Assistant Physicians. General Wang's eyes fell on her. He instructed the Assistant Physicians to go to the inn while he went near Xue Yu-Yan.
"Princess Consort, what are you doing here late at night?" General Wang inquired.
"I was here to see the Crown Princess. Is there any improvement in her condition?" Xue Yu-Yan concernedly asked.
"Forgive me, Princess Consort, but no information regarding the Crown Princess will be given out until she wakes up," General Wang replied. Xue Yu-Yan nodded her head.
General Wang called Commander Sun there and told him to send the Princess Consort to her chamber.
"I will go myself, General Wang. There is no need to trouble the Commander," Xue Yu-Yan asserted, looking at the Commander Sun.
"It's our duty towards the Regal Family. Please come this way, Princess Consort," stated Commander Sun. Xue Yu-Yan followed him while General Wang took the stairs. Reaching inside the Inn, General Wang told Prince Nianzu, Lei Wanxi, and Weng Yu to leave for their chambers.
"We will stay here until Sister Lili opens her eyes," Lei Wanxi pronounced.
"Prince Wanxi, how long are you going to stay here? The Crown Princess will not wake up until tomorrow. The treatment has just started. You all need to take your meals as well. When the Crown Princess will be awakened, she will not feel good seeing the Princes hungry," Wang Hao explained to them.
"But, I have eaten so much earlier in the morning and then in the day. Even Brother Nianzu and Brother Yu had stuffed their stomachs in the evening," Lei Wanxi affirmed. He then looked at a servant there and told him to bring chairs for them.
"General Wang, we will be restless if we go back to our respective chambers. Let the Crown Princess awake and then we three will return to our chambers," Nianzu finally spoke. General Wang agreed to them. The servants placed three chairs for the Princes while Wang Hao walked inside the Crown Princess's chamber.
He halted near the second door and found the Crown Prince, who was telling the Physicians to work faster. "I never saw his highness this scared," Xiao Zhan said.
Wang Hao agreed with him. "The last time I saw him like this was when he was a young three years old kid. I failed in my duty not only as a General but also as a friend. I should have been careful. The Crown Princess would not be in this state if I had performed my duty well," Wang Hao proclaimed.
