Concubine Chen was shocked and confused.

That night, she was blocked by heavy rain and arrived a step too late. The prince had already passed out due to poison.

Things, of course, didn't get done.

Although she did set up the prince, she had no intention of harming the prince. She believed that the royal family would not do anything to the Duke's palace because of this matter.

But why did the prince tell Gu Yundai about this?

A lowly maid who lost her virginity and gave birth to a child was even worse than what she did!

However, she was really worried that Gu Yundai would break the news and spread the word.

Seeing that Concubine Chen was no longer crazy, Gu Yundai bypassed her and walked into Zhaohua Hall.

Yuzhu quickly followed.

There is a strong smell of medicine in the Zhaohua Palace's bedroom.

Liu Dequan was waiting aside, and two maidservants were kneeling on the ground, both holding medicine bowls in their hands.

Seeing Yun Dai, Liu Dequan quickly saluted.

"My lord, your highness has just fallen asleep." He whispered.

Yun Dai said: "I only looked at him once. How is he injured?"

"It's quite serious. They are all external injuries. Your Highness is in good spirits, but the pain is severe."

"Oh." Yun Dai looked into the tent.

Liu Dequan led the two maids out.

Yuzhu was also guarding outside the door.

Yun Dai walked to the bed, opened the curtain, and saw Zhao Yuan lying on the bed with his face turned sideways and his eyes closed, sleeping.

His face is a little pale, and his long black hair is soft and sloping down, giving him a sickly beauty.

Yun Dai walked over, lifted up the gauze scarf covering his back, and was shocked.

Deep whip marks on the flesh can be seen all over the back.

Although the medicine was applied, it was still bloody, which was in sharp contrast with the surrounding light wheat-colored intact skin.

Yun Dai looked at it for a while, put down the towel, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, pressed it with a piece of jade, and placed it under his pillow.

She turned and left.

"Are you leaving just as you arrived?" Zhao Yuan's deep voice came.

Yun Dai turned around and saw him opening his eyes and looking at her.

"I woke you up."

"No." Zhao Yuan turned over with some difficulty and lay on his side.

This involves the wound on the back.

He frowned and whispered: "Come here."

Yun Dai walked over.

"You came to see me?" He looked at her, "Everyone else has brought something, but you are empty-handed."

Yun Dai said: "Your Highness does not lack the things I have, so he simply won't bring them."

Zhao Yuan smiled.

Yun Dai said: "Actually, His Highness does not need to receive this beating at all."

"If I don't get beaten, how can you feel sorry for me?" Zhao Yuan said with a faint smile, "If I don't get this beating, how can you calm down and willingly hand over your son?"

"Your Highness, you must be thinking too much." Yun Dai said calmly.

"Yundai," he patted the bedside, "sit down and talk."

Yun Dai hesitated and sat down.

Zhao Yuandao: "I don't want to force you, I just want to prove to you that I can protect you and Yan'er. Do you believe me now?"

Yun Dai shook her head: "Is the price of protecting others means hurting yourself?"

Zhao Yuandao: "That's because I was given too little time. In the future... you know."

"Then we'll see." Yun Dai stood up.

Zhao Yuan saw that she was about to leave and said, "Can't you stay a little longer?"

"His Highness is injured, so I can't disturb you too much. Your Highness needs to recover from his injuries." Yun Dai bowed her knees and saluted, turned around and walked out.

Zhao Yuan looked at her back and walked out. He remembered what she had put under his pillow and hurriedly took it out.

It's a piece of paper and a piece of jade.

What was written on the note was a series of addresses.
