185 Fallen into my eyes

Xiaoming looked at the left arm of Liu Jin Yu. She had tied a cloth around it to stop the bleeding. He asked the female servant to bring clothes for Liu Jin Yu, who bowed and left.

Physician Peng came to the chamber with Eunuch Lishi and greeted the Crown Prince.

“Eunuch Lishi, take the servants outside,” Xiaoming ordered him. He bowed and asked the servants to follow him.

“Her left arm is wounded. Treat her arm first,” Xiaoming said and pulled the curtains down. He turned his back towards her while letting Physician Peng do the rest of the work.

“It seems this servant has been attacked by a sharp weapon.” Xiaoming turned to look as he heard Physician Peng’s words. “It seems the wound is from a sword,” he affirmed and pulled his hand back.

Liu Jin Yu hissed in pain in her unconscious state. Xiaoming got worried when he heard the Physician. “Will she be alright?” Xiaoming asked and again turned his back.

“The wound is not serious. It will take a few days to heal, Your Royal Highness,” Physician Peng answered, and started to clean the wound.

Xiaoming wondered who could be the enemy of Liu Jin Yu. Did someone from the noble class recognize her? He furrowed his brows and clenched his fists. He moved his eyes to the left and saw Eunuch Lishi.

“Your Royal Highness, forgive me for coming in without your permission,” Eunuch Lishi first apologized before continuing, “Miss Cha Ying is waiting for the Crown Prince. I will stay here. His Royal Highness shall go to meet Miss Cha Ying. I have brought clean clothes for the Crown Prince. He must wear them and-” Before he could complete his words, Xiaoming dashed to the guest chamber in his manor.

.....

He was already annoyed to see Cha Ying and she dared to come into his manor.

Seeing him, Cha Ying’s personal attendant rushed in and informed her about the Crown Prince’s arrival. Cha Ying stood up from the chair and curled her lips into a tiny smile. She kept her eyes low and heard him coming toward her. She saw his shoes and found he had halted.

She bowed in front of him and opened her mouth to ask for forgiveness for her previous mistake. However, Xiaoming wouldn’t let her speak.

“I clearly told Miss Cha Ying not to show me her face ever.”

Cha Ying lifted her eyelids and the smile on her lips vanished. She found Xiaoming was infuriated with her.

“How dare you step inside my manor? Did I invite you!? Did you take my permission?” Xiaoming shouted at her. Cha Ying looked down as her eyes filled with tears once again.

In her defense, her personal attendant stepped forward and apologized to the Crown Prince. “I was the one who told my Miss-”

“Who are you to intervene in the middle?” Xiaoming raised her voice too and then looked back at Cha Ying.

“Forget about marrying me. I explained this to you earlier too. Also, I don’t need your apology. You have already fallen into my eyes. If Miss Cha Ying thinks I don’t understand her and her father’s tactics, then she is wrong,” Xiaoming said sternly to her.

She had never felt such humiliation in her entire life. She understood that if Xiaoming could not respect her now, then he would never respect her.

Xiaoming was ready to leave when he heard from Cha Ying.

“I wanted to apologize to the Crown Prince for the wrong I did. Also, I did what I was told. The Crown Prince’s mother wanted me to do this. I request His Royal Highness not to accuse me when he doesn’t know what is happening around me,” Cha Ying said, and the tears rolled down her cheeks.

Xiaoming didn’t reply and walked out. He went straight to his bedchamber to check on Liu Jin Yu. Physician Peng had dressed the wound on her arm while the maidservant had changed the clothes of Liu Jin Yu.

Eunuch Lishi saw the angry look on Xiaoming’s face.

“She might feel the pain because of the wound. Please give some pills for that,” Xiaoming requested Physician Peng, who nodded. He gave the small box with a few painkiller pills to Xiaoming before heading out.

“Your Royal Highness, I will shift Liu Jin Yu to the servants’ quarter. His Royal Highness must change his clothes,” Eunuch Lishi said worriedly.

“Get out of my sight. You do not need to work for me anymore.” Xiaoming said in a plain, cold voice. Eunuch Lishi was shocked to hear Xiaoming and immediately got on his knees.

“Your Royal Highness, did I make any mistakes? Then, please punish me. I beg His Royal Highness not to tell me to leave his side,” Eunuch Lishi begged Xiaoming, who was not ready to forgive him. When Cha Ying told him that his mother was involved, his first doubt went to Eunuch Lishi, who was more loyal to his mother.

“It is the command. I don’t want a betrayer to be by my side. Leave before I truly punish you,” Xiaoming commanded him.

Eunuch Lishi was at a loss for words. He decided not to anger Xiaoming and silently left the chamber.

Xiaoming called a female servant inside and asked her to prepare the bathhouse for him. She returned after some time and informed the Crown Prince about it.

Xiaoming looked at the clean pair of clothes and carried them.

“Keep your eyes on Liu Jin Yu. Do not allow anyone in until I return from the bathhouse. Do not let anyone come in. Follow my command at the cost of your life,” he instructed the maidservant.

He glanced at Liu Jin Yu before heading to the bathhouse.

On the other hand, Eunuch Lishi stayed outside the door on his knees, pleading for forgiveness.

Zhu Liling was shocked to see Cha Ying. She cried profusely in front of her and told the Queen that she would not make any effort to go close to the Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty, I have self-respect too. I have also found out that the Crown Prince hates my sight. It is better for me not to make any advancements.” Cha Ying conveyed what was in her heart to the Queen, who was unable to understand what to speak.

After putting a thought, Zhu Liling said, “Cha Ying, I will be present with you this time. I will ask the Crown Prince the reason behind it. Also, I will make sure that he apologizes to you.”

Zhu Liling didn’t want Cha Ying to live in that state. If the other two consorts found out about it, they would try to intervene. Also, the Kang family would get upset with Xiaoming. This was a risk she could not take. She wanted to strengthen Xiaoming’s position.

Zhu Liling wiped the tears from Cha Ying’s eyes and asked Eunuch Lianying to pass the glass of water to her. He complied with her command immediately and poured water into a silver glass.

He handed it to the Queen and stepped back. Zhu Liling asked Cha Ying to drink the water and calmed her down. She made her sit on the chair.

“Eunuch Lianying, deliver the message to the Crown Prince that his mother wants to see him,” Zhu Liling ordered. He bowed and left for the Crown Prince’s manor.
