The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 123 The Prince is Saved

The residence of the Marquis of Pingchang.

"Miss, something terrible has happened, Miss!" The voice came from afar.

Murong Qingyun put down her embroidery and looked towards the door in confusion. "Xiao Tao, what's the matter that you're so flustered?"

"Miss!" Xiao Tao ran over, panting, and said, "Young Master, Young Master..."

"What's wrong with my brother?" Murong Qingyun was so frightened that she stood up immediately. "Tell me quickly."

"The Crown Prince has gone missing."

"What!" Murong Qingyun was shocked and only came to her senses when her finger was pricked by the needle and bled.

"Miss!" This made Xiao Tao very anxious. She rushed forward and grabbed Murong Qingyun to check on her.

But Murong Qingyun couldn't care less about that. "What about Mother? What did she say?"

While covering her bleeding finger with a handkerchief, Xiao Tao said, "They're all very worried in the hall and have already sent people to look for her."

Upon hearing this, Murong Qingyun felt dizzy and lost her balance. Xiao Tao quickly steadied her, crying, "Miss, Miss..."

The next day.

As dawn broke, the storm of last night had long since subsided.

"Water, water..." came a hoarse cry.

Seeing that the person on the ground had finally regained consciousness, Gao An was overjoyed and called out urgently, "Young Master!" while slowly feeding water into Murong Peifeng's mouth.

With a series of coughs, Murong Peifeng finally woke up.

“Gao… Gao An.” Murong Peifeng uttered slowly, feeling a sharp pain in his throat.

"Your Highness, you're awake."

"Hmm." Murong Peifeng struggled to get up, but found that he had no feeling in his right hand.

"My...my hand." Murong Peifeng looked at his right hand in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Murong Peifeng did not answer, but tried again to raise his right hand, only to find that he still could not muster any strength.

"My hands, I can't feel my hands anymore." Murong Peifeng's face showed a look of horror. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything all night. The wind and rain last night were heavy, and the high fever that lasted all night had made his cheeks thin out.

Gao An was also startled. He woke up in the middle of the night and found himself lying next to Murong Peifeng. He was lucky to survive, having fallen from such a height, he only suffered some scratches. However, Murong Peifeng developed a high fever, and Gao An took care of him tirelessly until Murong Peifeng finally woke up.

"Let me take a look." Gao An initially suspected a broken arm, but when he tried to lift Murong Peifeng's hand, he found that the bones were intact. Gao An fiddled with it a few more times and asked, "Your Highness, do you feel anything?"

Murong Peifeng shook his head, his face full of worry.

Gao An wanted to ask something more, but Murong Peifeng stopped him, saying, "Don't speak yet, listen."

Hmm? Gao An pricked up his ears and, sure enough, he faintly heard someone calling, "Young Master, Young Master!"

"Your Highness, Gao An! Where are you?"

"Sir..."

Gao An immediately became excited, "The Marquis's mansion has sent people to find us."

"We're here! We're here!" Gao An ran out of the boulder and shouted outside.

About an hour later, the people from the Marquis's residence finally found Murong Peifeng and Gao An.

"Young Master, we've finally found you! The old Marquis and his wife were so worried." It was Steward Ding of the Marquis's residence who spoke.

Gao An didn't bother with pleasantries and said directly, "Steward Ding, we should take the young master back to the manor for treatment as soon as possible."

"The young master is injured?" Steward Ding asked anxiously, and quickly ordered the servants, "Quickly! Get him on a stretcher."

……

The news of Murong Peifeng's rescue spread like wildfire.

Prince Qing's Mansion.

"What!" Jing Rou was so shocked by Can'er's words that she stood up from the stool.

Upon seeing this, Princess Qing coughed lightly and said, "Rou'er."

Jing Rou then realized her mistake and sat down.

"Tell me, is the heir of the Pingchang Marquis's mansion truly injured?" Princess Qing asked Can'er.

Can'er nodded and said, "Now the whole capital knows about this. They say that the heir of the Pingchang Marquis's mansion was robbed by bandits and fell off a cliff. He was lucky to survive!"

"Since there is no danger to your life, Rou'er, you can rest assured now," said Princess Qing.

Hearing this, Jing Rou finally felt relieved, after all, she and Murong Peifeng still had some kind of bond.

"Mother, I'm afraid..." Jing Rou said, tears welling up in her eyes, she didn't know why.

Princess Qing was heartbroken. She waved her hand, signaling Can'er to step back, and hugged Jing Rou tightly, gently comforting her, "My child, with your mother here, why are you crying?"
