"Stop!" Zhu Biao also roared angrily when he saw Zhu Ci whip Princess Pucheng.
But Zhu Chuang seemed to have a crazy look at him, and ignored Zhu Biao's words. His face was ferocious and his eyes were red. The whip in his hand was still falling like raindrops. Princess Pucheng was like a fallen leaves in the wind, trembling under Zhu Chuang's whip.
Zhu Biao was also anxious at this time, and stepped forward and snatched the whip from Zhu Chuang's hand two steps and pushed the other party away. At this time, Zhu Chuang seemed to have noticed the arrival of Zhu Biao and others, and immediately said with a look of surprise: "Brother, why are you here?"
"You said why I came, look at the good things you did, bullying men and women outside, beating your wife and children here, this is what you, a prince, should do..."
Zhu Biao was angry and pointed at Zhu Chuang and scolded him. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he just vented everything today. Zhu Chuang was also scolded and seemed to not understand why his elder brother got so angry.
When Princess Pucheng saw Zhu Biao and others coming, she also showed a more aggrieved expression on her face. She was covered in scars, especially now that the weather was hot, she was wearing thinner clothes. Her clothes were whipped by a whip, revealing her fair skin and red and swollen scars. This made Princess Pucheng even more ashamed and anxious. She wanted to pull the clothes to cover the wounds on her body, but she could not do anything.
When Li Jie saw this, she sighed inwardly, took off her coat and put it on Princess Pucheng. This made her stunned at first, and then covered her face with her hands and started crying again.
Zhu Biao scolded him for a long time, and finally got tired of scolding him. Then he asked Zhu Chuang in anger: "What mistake did Pucheng make? You actually made such a ruthless move?"
"I..." Zhu Chuang wanted to explain, but opened his mouth but couldn't give him a reason.
"It's all my fault for this. I blame me for not getting my father's consent. I asked Dr. Wang to treat my mother. It's okay for my father to be angry and beat me. Uncle, please don't scold my father!" Unexpectedly, Princess Pucheng pleaded for Zhu Chuang at this time.
However, Princess Pucheng's words were like adding fuel to the fire. Zhu Biao, who had just suppressed his anger, pointed at Zhu Chuang again and scolded him. It would be fine if Princess Pucheng really made any mistakes, but she just asked Doctor Wang to treat his mother. Moreover, Zhu Biao also saw the tragic situation of Princess Qin with his own eyes, which made him even more angry and even wanted to slap Zhu Chuang a few times.
Li Jie finally couldn't stand it anymore, mainly because he was afraid that Zhu Biao would get angry, so he stepped forward and advised: "His highness, calm down. I think the princess's injury is a bit serious. If it is not dealt with in time, it may leave scars!"
Zhu Biao finally calmed down when he heard Li Jie's words. He glared at Zhu Lin again and said again: "I have taken the princess and Pu Cheng away. When will you figure it out and when will you go to find me!"
After Zhu Biao said that, he ignored Zhu Chuang, helped his niece up and turned around and left. Li Jie bowed to Zhu Chuang and then turned around and left. However, when he left, he secretly hid something in his sleeve.
Zhu Biao brought Princess Pucheng to his residence and immediately asked the imperial doctor to check her injuries. At the same time, the Princess Qin was also picked up from the cold palace-like courtyard by Zhu Biao, and sent a maid and eunuch to serve.
Originally, Zhu Biao wanted to tell Princess Qin about Princess Pucheng's injury, but Princess Pucheng insisted not to let him go, saying that he was afraid that his mother would worry. After all, Princess Qin's health was not very good, which made Zhu Biao both pity and distress her niece. How could Zhu Ceng take such a sensible daughter?
When the imperial doctor brought the medicine to the injury, Li Jie and Zhu Biao and others went out and asked the maid to apply medicine to Princess Pucheng. Then Zhu Biao went in. Princess Pucheng also forced himself to salute Zhu Biao and said, "Thank you uncle. If it weren't for uncle, I'm afraid I..."
Princess Pucheng didn't say it until the end, but tears began to circulate in her eyes. Zhu Biao also looked at her with a self-blame look and said, "It's all my fault for this. As the saying goes, elder brother is like a father. I didn't discipline your father well. I didn't expect that he would become like this now, and you mother and daughter will suffer with him!"
"Uncle, don't say that. My father has a bad temper and I'm not very sensible and it makes him angry. If you blame me, it's all my fault!" Princess Pucheng said with tears again, but at the end of the conversation, the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help falling.
Zhu Biao felt uncomfortable when he saw his niece's appearance, so he immediately comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Pucheng, I won't ignore this matter. You and your mother will live here with peace of mind. If it really doesn't work, I will send someone to escort you back to the capital. Then let the father and the emperor deal with the second child in person!"
Hearing Zhu Biao say this, Princess Pucheng seemed to have found the backbone, and bowed to Zhu Biao again with tears in her eyes and said, "Uncle Xie is justice for our mother and daughter!"
It was getting late at this time. Zhu Biao comforted Princess Pucheng a few more words, and then ordered the maid to serve her carefully. Then she prepared to leave so that she could let her niece rest and recover her wounds as soon as possible.
However, just when Zhu Biao turned around and was about to leave, he found that Li Jie was standing next to him and was motionless, and his eyes were still staring at Pucheng, which made him stunned. Then he pulled Li Jie and reminded him: "Let's go!"
"Your Highness, I have a few words to talk to Princess Pucheng alone!" Li Jie smiled at Zhu Biao.
"What's there to talk about with Pucheng?" Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this. Although Li Jie was not an outsider, he was a young man after all, and he was his son-in-law. It would have been fine if he had brought him to Pucheng before, but if he had let him get along with Pucheng alone, it would probably be inappropriate.
"Your Highness, I have something very important to talk to the princess, it won't take a long time!" Li Jie said again. He had been quietly observing the direction of the whole matter, and now he finally had a guess, but this guess needs to be confirmed from Princess Pucheng.
Seeing Li Jie speaking so seriously, Zhu Biao finally dispelled the suspicion in his heart and nodded immediately and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you outside!"
Zhu Biao said and walked out, Li Jie waved his hand to ask the others to retreat, leaving only him and Princess Pucheng in the whole room.
Princess Pucheng also looked at him with her big eyes open, with a little curiosity and confusion in her eyes, as if she didn't know why Li Jie wanted to talk to him alone?
"Does the princess still hurt?" Li Jie pulled a stool and sat in front of Princess Pucheng, then asked with a smile.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you brother-in-law for your concern!" Princess Pucheng blinked and replied. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, she seemed to have a little heavier when she called Li Jie "brother-in-law".
"It's good if it doesn't hurt!" Li Jie smiled again, and then said again, "Actually, when Yuning learned that I was coming to Xi'an before the New Year, he told me a few months in advance that I must tell her before leaving, so that she could let me help her bring letters to the princess."
"My cousin and I have the best relationship. When I was in Beijing, I thanked my cousin's care. Although we are not sisters, our relationship is actually better than that of sisters!" When Princess Pucheng mentioned Zhu Yuning, her eyes turned red again. It can be seen that she missed the days she spent with Zhu Yuning in Beijing.
"Yunning said the same thing, even Yun Xi said that you and Yun Ning have the most similar personality and have the best relationship." Li Jie said again as Princess Pucheng's words.
"Brother-in-law, you keep mentioning your cousin. What do you want to say?" Princess Pucheng raised her head and looked at Li Jie's eyes and asked. She felt that there was something in Li Jie's words.
Li Jie finally stopped going around the corner at this time and said directly: "Although Yuning is a woman, she has a strong personality and is strong. She refuses to admit defeat when encountering setbacks. Your personality is very similar to Yuning, otherwise you would not have stood up for your mother at the beginning, and even bit the King of Qin. Even if the King of Qin was about to kill you at that time, you never shed tears!"
Li Jie suddenly paused when he said this, and then looked at Princess Pucheng with some fun and said again: "A woman is so strong, it is unimaginable that in just three years, you will try your best to please your father. Even if you are humiliated many times, you will still plead for your father!"
As soon as Li Jie said something, Princess Pucheng's face suddenly became cold, especially when Li Jie mentioned the incident that year, her face became even colder and her eyes suddenly became sharp.
"You also know that it was back then, and people would change. And do you think I, a weak woman, have any other ways to save my mother, besides trying hard to please my father?" Princess Pucheng asked coldly at last.
"Okay, you do have a reason to be wronged, so I'll ask the second question!" Li Jie smiled again, "There was originally an imperial doctor in the royal palace, but why did you ask the imperial doctor Wang to treat your mother?"
"Doctor Wang is skilled in medical skills, and his father's illness was relieved by drinking his medicine." Princess Pucheng said coldly again.
"Haha, your mother's illness is not a serious illness, but it is caused by dietary problems. It is possible that ordinary doctors can cure this. You cannot not know about this, but you still ask Doctor Wang to treat it. With your intelligence, you must have guessed that this matter cannot be hidden from the prince. At that time, the prince will definitely go to the King of Qin to question it. But at that time, you happened to anger the King of Qin and were beaten by the bad-tempered King of Qin. This is a bit too coincidental, right?"
"What do you mean is that I arranged all this?" Princess Pucheng suddenly smiled and asked back when she heard this. She was originally a very beautiful woman, and her injuries made her feel a little pitiful. This smile made me feel even more pity and particularly touching.
However, Li Jie was like a stone, unmoved at all. Instead, he asked again: "Are you thinking that these are all my guesses and there is no evidence at all, so you are not afraid that I will tell you?"
