Daily life in the academy

Severe pain swept over her, and in the confusion, Bai Zhi wanted to grab the landscape stone to steady her falling body, but the artificial stone was covered with moss, and the uneven shape also scratched her palm.

"thump--"

Bai Zhi fell into the water lily pond and was stunned for a moment. Then she closed her mouth, endured the pain and swam to the surface. She raised her uninjured right hand, grabbed the mud on the shore, and climbed up bit by bit.

Damn it! Bai Zhi spat out the mud in her mouth, raised her intact hand to wipe her face, and then she came to her senses from the panic. She slowly stood up and limped towards the Ju Garden.

Bai Zhi had thought about asking for help, but this matter involved a certain prince, and even a fool could guess that this might involve a power struggle.

Although Yan Minghe is firmly sitting on the throne of the crown prince, he will not be at peace until he ascends the throne. Moreover, the King of Qi is also extremely favored and will inevitably pose a threat. Not to mention the King of Qi. Bai Zhi cannot let herself fall into such a passive situation. The safest thing to do now is to go back to Juyuan to find Yan Qingchen.

Baizhi's left side suffered injuries of varying degrees. The lotus pond was paved with uneven stones, and it seemed that the two men had deliberately laid a layer of sharp gravel on it. As long as they hit her hard, the gravel would embed into her flesh. They were extremely vicious.

Blood was flowing drop by drop. Bai Zhi gritted his teeth and walked back to the Ju Garden before he became exhausted. He happened to bump into Mu Bailian who was rushing out to wait for him.

Mu Bailian's face was filled with shock. He caught Bai Zhi's falling body and said, "Azhi, what happened to you? How did you get yourself like this?"

His voice was so panicked that it alarmed Yan Qingchen and Wenzhe who were in the room. They walked out quickly and saw Bai Zhi covered in wounds. Their faces looked very ugly.

Yan Qingchen didn't even care about the mud on Bai Zhi's body. He took him from Mu Bailian's hands, carried him into the house, and ordered Cao Hua to find the imperial physician quickly.

Bai Zhi was only slightly exhausted, but still conscious. She grabbed Yan Qingchen by the collar and stopped him, saying, "You can't find the imperial physician."

Wenzhe disagreed, "Your injuries are so severe, you should seek treatment from the imperial physician as soon as possible."

Bai Zhi glanced at Wenzhe soothingly, and then said to Yan Qingchen very seriously: "Brother Yan, we can't find the imperial physician. I want to get down the mountain as soon as possible. I... discovered something."

The people present were not stupid. Yan Qingchen sighed, first ordered Cao Hua to guard outside, and then asked Song Xi to get hot water to clean the dirt for Bai Zhi.

"What's the matter?"

"Before I say anything, Bai Lian, could you pour me a glass of water to rinse my mouth? It tastes like mud..." Bai Zhi smiled bitterly, and there were indeed spots of mud on her exposed front teeth.

Mu Bailian poured her three glasses of water before the mud taste in her mouth was completely cleared. Bai Zhi swallowed a mouthful of clean tea and said, "About an incense stick ago, Chu Youyou and I finished talking in the backyard and took the entrance from the main courtyard to return to the Chrysanthemum Garden. But when we were almost near the lotus pond, we heard two attendants talking about a certain prince instructing them to set up something by the lotus pond."

"It was already completely dark, and such a hidden arrangement couldn't possibly be a good thing. I didn't bother them rashly, only waiting until they left before leaning forward to take a look. But... my vision was dim, and the shore seemed to have been covered with something like wax, making it very slippery, so I fell into the pool."

"You told me before that the red water lilies in the lotus pond were brought from Tianzhu by that merchant. Unlike the water lilies in Yan Kingdom, they bloom not from the hours of Mao to Chen, but from the hours of Xu to Hai in the evening. And this summer resort is the only place in Sheng'an City that has this variety. Your Highnesses will definitely bring the three young ladies to enjoy the flowers..."

Having said that, there is no need for Bai Zhi to continue speaking.

Wenzhe said worriedly, "Qingchen, it's still early. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi must still be in the dining hall. Do we need to send someone to clean up there?"

Yan Qingchen frowned, his eyes fixed on Bai Zhi, and asked, "Were you seen by others when you left?"

"No, you all know the shortcut I took. There were few people there, and it was dark. Even if the servants happened to see me, they wouldn't be able to see my face clearly."

"Okay." Yan Qingchen replied briefly, then looked up at Wenzhe and Mu Bailian and said, "The arrangement has been destroyed. His Highness will probably be furious when his plan fails. Go back and pack your things. Follow me down the mountain tonight. I'll find an excuse to fend off the Crown Prince and the King of Qi."

Mu Bailian was a little angry: "We are all brothers, why do you have to do this and involve others for no reason."

"Be careful with your words." Wenzhe glared at him. "Come on, come back with me to pack up."

In fact, Bai Zhi felt that the prince did not dare to pursue the matter. His methods were not bright to begin with. If they were exposed, the gains would outweigh the losses. It would be best to keep the troops in place. When she left, the ground was covered with mud, and they would definitely not get close... But she also understood Yan Qingchen's intentions. If the four of them left together, they would not focus on only one party. Moreover, their identities were not simple, and they would not act rashly.

While the attendants were packing, Song Xi also prepared a whole bucket of hot water. He also wanted to help Bai Zhi wash her body, but she firmly refused. Seeing that his attitude was so firm, Yan Qingchen just let him do it.

Mu Bailian and Wenzhe had other people living in Lanyuan. In order not to alert others, they only packed the important luggage. Each of them wrapped two bags and had them carried by their personal attendants. At 10:00 p.m., Yan Qingchen called on Butler Li to secretly prepare two carriages for them. After confirming that the two princes were going to the backyard to appreciate the lotus, the group left the villa under the cover of night.

Wenzhe knew how to bandage Bai Zhi's wound simply, and before getting on the carriage, he used some medicine to treat Bai Zhi's wound.

In the carriage, Bai Zhi's left leg occupied the entire side of the seat. She opened the window and looked at the gate of the villa that was getting farther and farther away, and her heart slowly calmed down.

Finally she left this place of trouble...The injury to her left leg was definitely related to that dream, but unfortunately she didn't see the prince's face clearly at that time.

In addition to the wound medicine, Wenzhe poured some analgesic powder on the wound for fear that she would be in great pain. The medicine must have contained sleeping pills, and the shaking carriage made Baizhi drowsy.

"Bang~" The carriage wheels collided with the gravel, affecting Baizhi's wound and she woke up instantly.

There was a hint of worry in Yan Qingchen's eyes, but his tone didn't show it at all: "Just bear with it for a while. I'll get a doctor to treat you as soon as I get back to the palace."

Bai Zhi covered her chest and said, "Can we ask for Doctor Hu? He's a very good doctor, and I... trust him more."

Yan Qingchen hummed, then instructed Cao Hua outside the car: "After returning to the city, go to Dayefang to find Doctor Hu."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
