Is There No Good Wound Medicine?

Zhongli Cheng walked ahead with a cold face, while Zhongli Han wore a purple veil, revealing a pair of slanted eyes filled with malice!

Following Zhongli Han was a woman dressed as a palace maid, her face also black and blue, bruised all over. This made everyone frown slightly, wondering what trick Dongjin was trying to play.

After they arrived, Zhongli Cheng led Zhongli Han forward to salute Huangfu Xuan: "This prince is late, I hope the Emperor of Dongling will be magnanimous!"

A cold smile curled Huangfu Xuan's lips: "The First Prince is a guest, and We are the host. Since you are late, is it not permissible for Us to ask a question?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly fell silent. Huangfu Xuan's words were sharper than an interrogation! Consequently, everyone couldn't help but glance at Jun Jinglan and Dantai Ji, who had also arrived late, before turning their eyes to the empty seats of the Chu State!

Huangfu Xuan couldn't help but feel angry. Where the assassin who targeted Dantai Huang last night came from naturally did not escape his eyes. Although he also wanted that woman's life and had even deliberately ordered the guards not to rescue her, it didn't mean he liked others making trouble on his territory! If Dantai Huang died, this debt would be pinned on Dongling. He didn't believe Zhongli Cheng was unaware of this!

Zhongli Cheng's expression stiffened slightly. He laughed a few times and said, "Emperor of Dongling, there is a reason we are late!"

Just as his words fell, a wanton voice echoed from afar: "A reason? Could it be the same as this prince oversleeping?"

With that, he appeared in everyone's sight. His long hair was bound with purple silk, and he held a wind-flowing jade fan. A profligate, carefree smile hung on his lips—an absolute peerless beauty of a man. Walking up to Huangfu Xuan, he spoke: "Emperor of Dongling, Chu Changge overslept and arrived late. Please forgive me!"

Hearing this, everyone thought of one word—waste! So this was Chu Changge? The number one playboy under heaven, the shame of the imperial family, shameless and unconcerned with honor. For such a person to have such a handsome appearance, what was it if not a waste?

"Prince Chu is indeed frank! Please be seated!" Huangfu Xuan smiled and said.

Chu Changge waved his fan, walking toward his seat as he said, "What's wrong with being frank? Being able to sleep proves that this prince is in good health!"

"Pfft..." Several ministers spat out their tea. Dantai Huang also covered her mouth, almost laughing out loud. Chu Changge had been amusing last night, and today, in front of so many nobles, he still behaved in this manner. How entertaining!

Her reaction caught Jun Jinglan's eye. He swept his narrow eyes over Chu Changge, then looked at Dantai Huang, raising his wine cup to drink, the amusement in his eyes deepening.

As Chu Changge sat down, he saw Dantai Huang opposite him! He was stunned. Only then did Dantai Huang remember they had met yesterday. She quickly lowered her head, but it was already too late.

Instantly, Chu Changge's mood improved, and he smiled. *Haha, I wonder what mischief that woman from yesterday is plotting...*

Seeing this smile, Dantai Huang sighed in annoyance. She had run into another trouble.

Interrupted by Chu Changge, Zhongli Cheng forgot where to begin his prepared speech, standing awkwardly in the middle of the court.

Huangfu Xuan paused, as if only now remembering Zhongli Cheng, and spoke: "We wonder what the First Prince of Dongjin..."

"Emperor of Dongling, this prince is late because I had to handle some matters this morning! Last night, my imperial sister's maid was beaten, and many saw that it was the Third Princess of Mobei who did it. Furthermore, after my imperial sister returned, the imperial physician examined her wound from yesterday's banquet and discovered there was poison on her hand. If not detected early, her face would have been ruined! This prince investigated all the way and finally, our efforts paid off. We found a Dongling maid in the grand hall last night who saw that the person who attacked below the stage was also the Third Princess of Mobei! My imperial sister has no grievances with her, yet Princess Qinghuang resorted to such a vicious attack. We ask the First Prince of Mobei for a reasonable explanation, and we request the Emperor of Dongling to bear witness!" Zhongli Cheng finished speaking and clapped his hands, and a maid stepped forward.

Her attire was indeed that of a Dongling maid, and her expression was exceptionally calm.

Dantai Huang only needed a glance to understand that this was entirely a play directed and performed by the other party! It was true she had beaten Zhongli Han last night, but whether she used poison, did she not know? Besides, if there was indeed poison, why hadn't it taken effect in the grand hall yesterday? As for beating Zhongli Han's maid, she was busy sabotaging Huangfu Xuan last night; how could she have the spare time?

"The Eldest Princess of Dongjin thinks too highly of herself. If this princess wanted to beat the Eldest Princess, would I need to beat her maid as well? A mere maid—is she worthy of this princess's personal action? Doesn't the First Prince of Dongjin find this absurd?" Dantai Huang spoke with a cold smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone agreed. Disciplining a maid was a trivial matter; Dantai Huang only needed to order her own maid to do it. There was no need for a noble princess to personally strike a lowly servant. It seemed the problem lay with Dongjin.

Yet Zhongli Cheng's expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated Dantai Huang's words. He said coldly, "If she were truly a maid, this prince naturally wouldn't say anything. But this maid is actually the Zhaohe County Princess of Dongjin. She wished to visit Dongling this time, so she disguised herself as a maid and secretly followed Han'er here. When the Princess of Mobei struck, she might not have known Zhaohe's true identity!"

"Gasp!" Everyone couldn't help but gasp. They hadn't expected her to be the Zhaohe County Princess! Her father was a Dongjin prince, a man of integrity and high prestige. Everyone across the nations had to show him some respect. Strictly speaking, the Zhaohe County Princess was more noble than low-ranking imperial concubines or princesses.

Dantai Huang's red lips curled slightly. She hadn't expected Dongjin to go so far as to beat a county princess to frame her. They had indeed put in a lot of effort! But was she, Dantai Huang, so easy to deal with? With a cold laugh, she was about to speak...

Only to be interrupted by a playboy's tone: "The First Prince of Dongjin's scheming indeed commands this prince's admiration. Isn't it just a minor scuffle? This prince also occasionally spars with other nobles and often gets beaten black and blue, but after applying medicine for two days, I recover. I have never gone to someone's door to demand justice. Why must the Prince of Dongjin hold onto this endlessly? Could it be that Dongjin lacks good wound medicine? If not, this prince can gift you a few bottles!"
