Chapter 157 The Prince is in Trouble
"I know that the prince is concerned about Miss Ji, but she is not a good person. I hope the prince can get over it sooner."
Jiang Li persuaded Li Junlin earnestly.
Disgusted with her, right? Then she would also be "disgusted" with him...
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Li mention Ji Qingwan, Li Junlin's face darkened almost noticeably.
"Not everyone is worthy of my care."
Li Junlin's eyes were extremely aggressive towards Jiang Li. Seeing this, Chu Changxun subconsciously stood in front of Jiang Li.
He had also heard some of their past affairs, but it was nothing more than Jiang Lichi pestering Li Junlin.
But now, whether it was the Jiang Li he knew or the conversation between the two, he found it hard to believe those rumors...
Jiang Li definitely wasn't the type to cling to someone else, and on the contrary, Li Junlin seemed like the one she couldn't let go of...
"I was ordered by my father to come and inspect the battle situation. I never expected that Prince Chu would be so devoted to Beichen. Not only did he rescue so many soldiers, but he also showed no fear of the dangers of the battlefield. Since you have such a heart, I will definitely speak well of you to my father when I return to the court."
Li Junlin smiled flawlessly, and the smile on his lips grew colder as he saw him cut off from Jiang Li's sight like a "hero saving a beauty".
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kind words. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is what a doctor should do."
"Humph."
"Prince Chu is too modest. You are more than just a doctor. Don't forget, you are also a noble prince of Dongli."
Li Junlin snorted, interest showing on his evil and feminine face.
Chu Changxun's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment. What he said was nothing more than what he wanted to forget over the years.
Although he is the prince of Dongli, his life since childhood is not as noble and glamorous as others think.
Sometimes, they are even worse than the children of some officials and ministers...
Because his mother was not liked by his father, and his mother's family was also very important in the court, he had rarely seen his father since he was a child...
But who would have thought that after he grew up, he was finally summoned by his father, but his father's purpose was to send him to another country as a hostage.
Oh, sometimes he couldn't help but laugh at himself. How could his life and death possibly control his cold and heartless father?
Chu Changxun was silent for a long time, and even Jiang Li noticed that something was wrong with his mood.
The girl pursed her lips, then tugged at the jade pendant around his waist, telling him not to be affected by Li Junlin's words.
Chu Changxun felt it, and turned his handsome face to look at Jiang Li, with a familiar gentle smile on his face.
Li Junlin watched the little movements between the two, his brows filled with anxiety. Even though he was jealous to death, he could only clench his fists silently.
Why can everyone get her smile, but only when it comes to him, she looks cold and stern...
If Jiang Li knew what he was thinking, she would definitely sneer.
At that time, the original owner wanted to give her whole heart to him, but apart from using him, did he ever have any sincerity towards her?
Now I still want her smiling face, what a pipe dream...
For a moment, the three of them stayed in the same tent, but each of them had their own thoughts and no one spoke.
……
After a day of fear and trepidation, news finally arrived from the battlefield.
"Report!"
A guard hurriedly knelt down in front of Li Junlin, his body still stained with undried blood.
The man's face turned cold and his voice became terrifyingly deep.
"Why are you panicking? Could it be that Beichen has lost again?"
The guard lowered his head at the look in his eyes, his heart beating faster.
The moment Jiang Li saw his expression, the uneasiness in her heart became even more severe. Her almond-shaped eyes fixed on the guard, and her slender fingers gripping the armrest of the chair tightened uncontrollably...
"explain."
Li Junlin glanced at Jiang Li sideways, then ordered the guards to speak.
"The battle is over, Beichen has won a great victory! But, but the Third Prince... has been shot by an arrow and is now in critical condition!"
"What did you say……"
The tense string in Jiang Li's head completely broke, and the sudden buzzing sound in her ears weakened her five senses.
She wanted to stand up and ask the guard for clarification, but before she took two steps, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Chu Changxun, who was closest to her, quickly caught her and whispered something in her ear with a worried look on his face, but she couldn't hear anything. She felt like she was about to drown in the sea, and everything in front of her was blurry...
Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. A second before she fainted, she saw Li Junlin walking towards her, but his face was still expressionless, as if nothing could affect his emotions...
"Pear!"
"princess!"
The two men spoke at the same time, watching the girl faint lifelessly.
Li Junlin wanted to take her from Chu Changxun's arms, but the man dodged him.
Her feminine phoenix eyes sternly flashed, and she immediately noticed that Chu Changxun was also looking at her unwillingly. The coldness in his eyes had nothing to do with the gentle man just now.
"Heh, Prince Chu is also good at acting, or is he just pretending for Li'er?"
Chu Changxun did not respond to Li Junlin's sarcasm, but carried the girl to the bed quickly. After gently putting her on the bed, he immediately put his fingers on her fair wrist.
Li Junlin felt as if he had punched cotton, his thin lips pressed into a straight line. Looking at the girl lying on the bed, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
Li'er, you can only be mine. You said you would marry me...
"Where is the Third Prince now?"
He lowered his voice and asked the guard in a calm tone, as if he was not surprised at all about Li Jinyuan's injury.
"Reporting to the prince, the third prince has been struck by a poisoned arrow. The accompanying imperial physician has said he cannot be moved. He is currently in the corner tower on the city wall."
"I understand. Take me there."
"Yes!"
……
In the corner building,
The group of people were about to become a mess.
Jiang Lanchuan looked at the pale man lying on the straw mat, and his anxiety was almost out of control.
"Where's the imperial physician?! Hurry up and come and treat him! If anything happens to the prince, you will bring your heads to him!"
