Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 233 Blood splattered on the spot

"Nonsense! You are not allowed to call me sister!" The person who refuted was the missing Jiang Boxuan.

Hearing the rebuttal, the speaker suddenly became furious, and his sarcastic words were accompanied by a muffled groan of pain.

"Bah! You're a prisoner, yet you still dare to act so arrogant! I'm not afraid to tell you that the situation between our two countries is tense right now. When war breaks out, do you think you two will be the first to be beheaded?"

The man was about to kick again when he saw a large number of Xuantian guards breaking in through the windows. The originally tightly closed house instantly became a sieve, with wind leaking in from all sides.

After Xuantianwei entered, he did not give them any time to react. He each of them took control of everyone in the room.

At this time, Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige slowly walked in from the middle door.

Jiang Boxuan was tied up and thrown in the middle of the house. His white clothes were covered with footprints and his face was bruised and swollen. Jiang Lige felt extremely distressed when he saw it.

Jiang Lige's already excited mood reached its peak the moment he saw Jiang Boxuan covered in scars.

With red eyes, she unhesitatingly drew the sharp sword from the hand of the Xuantian Guard beside her and stabbed it directly into the shoulder blade of one of them.

The man's screams of pain were accompanied by blood flowing out, and the sword was still stuck straight in his body. Jiang Lige had already withdrawn his hand, letting the blade swing with the man's painful groans, and the pain continued to grow heavier.

At this moment, Jiang Lige's eyes were still burning with anger. He reached out to deliver another stab, but he felt someone tightly hold his waist. The position was turned, and the blood in front of his eyes was covered by a broad embrace.

It’s Ning Yunxiao.

Ning Yunxiao hugged Jiang Lige in his arms, patted her back soothingly, and said softly, "Ali, leave the rest to me. You take Boxuan out to treat his wound first, okay?"

Jiang Lige knew that Ning Yunxiao was doing this for her own good.

Her actions in anger just now were inappropriate.

If he stopped now, Ning Yunxiao could still find a way to cover it up.

But if he continued to act on his own, he would turn them from victims into perpetrators, and he would have no way to explain himself to the public or Emperor Shengwu.

The warm palms patted Jiang Lige's back again and again, calming her restless emotions and returning her rationality. Jiang Lige nestled in Ning Yunxiao's arms and responded muffledly.

"it is good."

Ning Yunxiao finally felt relieved after hearing Jiang Lige's answer. He smiled at Jiang Lige reassuringly and said seriously, "I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Jiang Lige responded, he personally helped Jiang Boxuan up from the ground and walked out under the protection of several Xuantian guards.

Old Grand Tutor Gu had already arranged a separate room for them to recuperate, and all the people from the Imperial Hospital had been ordered to wait outside. As soon as Jiang Boxuan arrived, they swarmed over, some taking his pulse, some treating his wounds, and they were so busy that they were exhausted.

But Jiang Lige, the biological sister, could only stand there and accompany her, looking at each other in silence.

Seeing Jiang Boxuan grimacing in pain while applying the medicine, Jiang Lige felt a little sorry for him and simply avoided him temporarily.

Outside, Gu Wangyu and a student were waiting in the side hall, and it seemed that they had something to say.

"Greetings, Princess Zhaohua." Gu Wangxian bowed and explained, "Grandfather just learned something during his investigation and thought he should inform the princess, so he ordered me to bring someone here."

"Thank you." Jiang Lige nodded in thanks and asked the student, "Is it about Bo Hyun?"

"That's right." The student nodded and told the old master everything he knew according to his instructions.

"In fact, His Highness Bo Xuan has never been able to fit in with the crowd since he started studying at the Imperial College. He avoids everything he can, keeps to himself, and stays away from everyone. He doesn't want to interact with people like us who have no ill intentions, and we don't take the initiative to show our goodwill. But those domineering people in the academy have been causing trouble for him privately. After these visits, he is even more reluctant to interact with the outside world."

The student paused for a moment here, and when he saw that Jiang Lige did not look unhappy, he continued with his conclusion.

"In fact, we all feel that His Highness Bo Hyun... has never truly accepted the Imperial College."

When Jiang Lige heard this, his calm expression showed a slight fluctuation.

Her eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a dark shadow under her eye sockets. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes. Her words were extremely gentle, but seemed to be wrapped in deep disappointment.

"What he hasn't accepted is not the Imperial College, but...his current miserable self."

After saying this, Jiang Lige politely nodded to Gu Wangyu and the others to express his gratitude, and said sincerely, "I will take care of Bo Xuan's matter. Thank you for letting me know."

"Princess, you're welcome. Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. If His Highness Bo Hyun can get better, everyone will be very happy."

Gu Wangxian smiled, left these words, and left with the student.

When Jiang Lige returned to the room in a depressed mood, the imperial doctors had just treated Jiang Boxuan's injuries.

The leading imperial physician saw Jiang Lige, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Princess Zhaohua, please rest assured. His Highness Bo Xuan's injuries appear serious, but they are only superficial. He only needs to recuperate for a while. I have prescribed several healing herbs. I have just explained the specific preparation method to the maid on duty. Take the medicine on time. We will come back for a follow-up visit in three days."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

After hearing the diagnosis of the imperial doctors, Jiang Lige finally felt relieved. She dismissed the people around her, and the two siblings sat face to face and had a long talk.

Jiang Lige sat quietly without saying a word, which made Jiang Boxuan feel guilty for a while. After hesitating for a while, he spoke softly.

"Sister, I'm sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have been so angered by their words. I fell into their trap and was brought here. I made you worry."

"You're not wrong, it's Mother who's wrong." Jiang Lige took over the conversation coldly, disappointed, "It's because Mother protected you too well, so well that you can't tell good from evil, good from danger. You thought that by escaping and living in seclusion, you could avoid the open and secret attacks, slanderous rumors, and the fickleness of human nature. Little did you know that in the eyes of others, this is a guilty conscience, and it's strong evidence that you have confirmed the guilt of the entire Xu family!"

"No! Not really!"

Jiang Boxuan, like an enraged little beast, suddenly jumped up from the bed with bloodshot eyes and said excitedly: "The Queen Mother is innocent! The Xu family is also innocent! Others can make malicious speculations, but you can't, sister! Half of your blood is surnamed Xu!"

"But what you're doing now is bringing shame to the Xu family!" Jiang Lige was also furious. He stood up and yelled back, "At least, the Xu family never taught me to run away, to accept things passively, or to even have the courage to deny it!"
