Chapter 372: Your Majesty, don’t panic, I’ll protect you!

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Ning had just taken the medicine given by the physician’s Nanny, and her pain had subsided considerably. At this moment, she was crying, mostly because she had seen her most trusted and close Third Brother, and she wanted to voice her grievances.

She could never really stand up and had gotten used to using a wheelchair.

Moreover, an additional useless leg seemed to have little effect, didn’t it?

But even if her heart was not panicked, she still needed to vent her anger. As she cried, a chilly voice suddenly came to her ears–

“I will make you stand.”

“…” Jiang Ning’s crying stopped abruptly, and she turned her head to look behind Jiang Yi.

The secret room was dim, she was disoriented from the torture, and had been focusing on her Third Brother all this time, not even realizing there was another person there.

Jiang Yi also turned to look at him, “Your Highness, what did you say?”

Li Hongyuan stepped forward, bent down and squatted down in front of Jiang Ning’s bed, stretched out his big hand, and stroked her slightly cold cheek. He took off his cloak and wrapped her in it.

Although he wanted to take her away immediately, the condition of her leg was still uncertain.

He dared not move her recklessly.

“Master Jiang, stay here with her. Do not move her leg. This prince will be back shortly.”

Having said that, he turned around and strode out.

Jiang Yi distinctly saw his hand gripping the dagger, and because of the excessive force, his knuckles were turning white.

He didn’t know what the Prince of Yu was about to do, but he knew that he must be very angry.

When the Prince of Yu returned outside, the Emperor and Jiang Ruobai had also arrived.

Jiang Ruobai followed the Emperor, his face cold while looking at the mess in the East Palace.

The Emperor frowned deeply.

He knew that these servants and slaves were beaten by the Prince of Yu.

As a father, he naturally knew the Prince of Yu’s temperament.

The people often called the Prince of Yu a handsome, gracious young man, and most of them judged him solely based on his appearance, thinking that his character must also be gentle and kind.

Little did they know that he was an utterly ruthless person.

So, seeing the scene in the East Palace and even hearing that the Princess Consort’s ear had been cut off, the Emperor was not too surprised.

It wasn’t until he saw the Crown Prince’s hand pierced by a hole.

There was blood all over the snow.

The Crown Prince crawled on his knees in front of him, his face pale and tearful, “Emperor Father, please help your son. The fifth brother dares to cause trouble in the East Palace and even colludes with my son and the Princess Consort! My hand…”

The Emperor frowned and asked, “Where is the Prince of Yu?”

“Your son is here.”

Two pthe whip and dagger in his hand, appeared at the door of the study.

Prince Yu was as cold as frost, emitting a murderous intent.

The Emperor was slightly stunned, frowning, “Fifth, as soon as you return, you come to the East Palace to cause trouble. Is there anything that can’t be calmly discussed? You still have this temperament. I originally thought that practicing outside for a few years would temper your character…”

Li Hongyuan didn’t say a word.

He lifted his foot, and the boots left deep footprints on the snowy ground.

He walked up to the Emperor, knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up, shook the whip, and bound Li Jixian.

As the sudden turn of events happened, Jiang Ruobai quickly stepped forward to shield the Emperor and shouted, “Your Majesty, don’t panic, I will protect you!”

The Emperor was a little shorter than Jiang Ruobai and was blocked from view.

He stood on tiptoe and shouted, “Fifth, what do you want to do?”

Li Jixian screamed as he was thrown to the ground, desperately shouting, “Emperor Father, save me, Emperor Father, save me… Fifth brother is crazy, he’s mad…”

Li Hongyuan ignored the Emperor’s orders and Li Jixian’s screams.

He lifted his left foot, stepped on Li Jixian’s stomach, squatted down on one knee, raised the dagger, and pointed it at Li Jixian’s leg–
