Ignoring the protests of those around him, Li Ji swept Hua Manman into his arms.
He was taking her back to the Prince Mansion to have Feihua Zhenren treat her injuries.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to leave them with a sharp warning.
"This isn't over."
Hua Qingqing stood at the door, watching helplessly as Prince Zhao carried Manman away.
Behind her, Xi Xiang whispered comfortingly.
"Jieyu, don't worry too much. Princess Consort Zhao is blessed; she'll surely be fine."
Hua Qingqing didn't respond.
Just then, she heard Consort Liu inside the room whining coquettishly to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, did you see how Prince Zhao was acting just now? He dared to be so arrogant right in front of you. If you weren't here with me, who knows how he would have bullied me."
Although the Emperor also felt that Li Ji's behavior had been a bit audacious, he didn't take it to heart and only replied nonchalantly.
"He's still just a child."
Consort Liu was speechless.
