Chapter 917 Where did her injury go?
Chapter 917 Where did her injury go?
"Qiao Lian'er, you are destined to lose to me." Princess Yaoguang spat out each word through gritted teeth.
Her army was completely under Qiao Lian'er's control. Fortunately, he left trusted confidants in the mansion to provide support in case of emergency. As soon as he saw that she was injured, he understood her intentions and immediately went to the capital.
Footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and soldiers lined up on both sides of the gate. Two figures stepped in one after the other.
One is Qiao Lian'er, and the other is her brother Qiao Dacheng.
Princess Yaoguang stared at Qiao Lian'er with hostility in her eyes. She didn't understand why Qiao Lian'er, who had completely taken control of the situation, was still here. Was she here to show off her power?
“Princess, don’t be afraid. I’m here to heal your injuries,” Qiao Lian’er said.
"I don't need your fake kindness. You stole my fiefdom, and I will never let you get away with this." Princess Yaoguang clutched her shoulder and backed away.
Her injury was a winning strategy, a chess piece in her hand. She refused all treatment, only opting for bandaging and hemostasis. The more severe the wound, the better it was for her.
Anyway, I won't die in a few days.
"I just saw Princess Yaoguang's confidant leave the city through a secret passage," Qiao Lian'er said.
Princess Yaoguang's expression changed.
"However, I didn't stop him. I sent people to escort him safely all the way."
Princess Yaoguang was stunned; she couldn't fathom Qiao Lian'er's intentions at all.
Once her people arrive in the capital, the Emperor will send someone to investigate and confirm Qiao Lian'er's crimes. She will then be unable to take this fiefdom.
"What do you mean by this?" She frowned, feeling uneasy; something was definitely amiss.
"The princess will find out soon, but before that, I need to heal you."
After Qiao Lian finished speaking, Qiao Dacheng stepped forward and slapped Princess Yaoguang on the back of the head.
Princess Yaoguang collapsed to the ground before she could even utter a sound.
Qiao Lian'er put her into her space, activated the time difference, and handed her over to the medical team.
Fifteen minutes outside is equivalent to five days in time zone.
Princess Yaoguang's bones were injured, and the treatment took a long time. She stayed inside for a full 180 days, which is equivalent to nine hours and four and a half hours.
When Princess Yaoguang woke up, it was already evening. She vaguely felt that she had been lying in one place for a long time. What was even more amazing was that the pain in her shoulder seemed to have disappeared.
She reached out and touched her shoulder, pinched it, and sure enough, she felt no pain.
Princess Yaoguang was startled and quickly checked her shoulder. The injury was completely gone, without even a scar.
Thinking she was hallucinating, she checked herself several times.
This is obviously impossible. Is she dreaming?
She pinched herself hard, wincing in pain, then rushed to the mirror and pinched both cheeks in front of it.
I'm not dreaming.
Where did her injury go?
Without this injury, how could she ask Qiao Lian'er to take back her fiefdom?
Suddenly, I remembered what Qiao Lian'er had said: that she would heal her injuries.
Then she seemed to be attacked, and before she could react, she fainted. When she woke up, her injuries were gone.
This bizarre event sent a chill down Princess Yaoguang's spine.
She had long heard that Qiao Lian'er possessed some special abilities.
Princess Yaoguang was both frightened and furious. She couldn't accept this fact, so she clutched her head and screamed, her voice filled with heart-wrenching pain.
After she finally calmed down a bit, she ran into a house and remembered that there was a dagger inside.
No matter what method Qiao Lian'er used to heal her shoulder, she had to leave a scar on her body.
However, the dagger is missing.
Princess Yaoguang ran into the outhouse again.
There were some sticks used by the servants, but they couldn't be found.
Qiao Lian'er took all these things away to prevent her from having such thoughts.
Thinking that the hope of obtaining a fiefdom was gone, it had become food for Qiao Lian'er.
A rush of blood to her head made Princess Yaoguang dizzy and lightheaded. Her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground.
Kunyang Prefecture is economically developed and rich in resources, so Qiao Lian'er has nothing to worry about.
However, the garrison here is far weaker than her army and needs further refinement in its training.
"Brother Dacheng, you stay here and train the army first, then send two capable deputy generals to take charge," Qiao Lian'er said.
The men of the Qiao family each held their own positions, and in order to have capable men, she had long been consciously cultivating trustworthy deputy generals.
The current leaders of Jinglang Prefecture and Queyuan Prefecture are both deputy generals sent from Qingfeng Plain.
Qiao Dacheng was very happy to transform his weak army into a powerful one, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment. He could brag about it to his brothers.
When Princess Yaoguang's men arrived in the capital, Prince Jin learned of the news and went to report to the emperor that Princess Yaoguang had been injured by Qiao Lian'er's men wielding sharp blades.
The Emperor said, "The Princess Zhenguo would never act so recklessly, and she is strict in disciplining her subordinates."
"Your Majesty trusts Qiao Lian'er too much. There are many people who say one thing to your face and another behind your back. She has now harmed the royal bloodline. Your niece is waiting for you to give her justice. Yao Guang is injured in the shoulder and the bone is broken. If she knows the Emperor's attitude, I don't know how heartbroken she will be."
Prince Jin spoke, his eyes reddening.
"Qiao Lian'er, relying on the Emperor's trust, is lawless and dares to injure a princess of the royal family. Who knows what serious things she might do in the future? I am really worried."
"If you don't believe me, Your Majesty, have someone investigate. It's an undeniable fact that Yao Guang was injured by Qiao Lian'er's subordinates. Qiao Lian'er might even have wanted to kill Yao Guang. It's just that Yao Guang was lucky enough to save her life."
The emperor remained silent, still finding it unlikely. Based on his understanding of Qiao Lian'er, she was an extremely cautious person. She had obtained that piece of land from the royal bloodline and knew that luck had played a part, so she would treat it with even greater care. If Yao Guang was unwilling to give up her fiefdom, she would at most expel her or forcibly send her back to the capital. She would not do anything involving knives, guns, or bloodshed.
“Your Majesty, I assure you, Princess Zhenguo has Yaoguang’s blood on her hands. Yaoguang has been so close to you and trusted you since childhood. It’s one thing for you to give her fiefdom to Qiao Lian’er, but you can’t just sit idly by and watch Qiao Lian’er kill her, can you?”
"Alright, alright, I'll send someone to take a look." The emperor had a headache.
"If this is confirmed, what does Your Majesty intend to do?" Prince Jin asked.
The emperor seriously considered the matter and said, "If Princess Zhenguo has indeed overstepped her bounds, then that piece of land need not be given to her."
A smug smile appeared on Prince Jin's lips; Yao Guang's move had indeed worked.
The emperor's men arrived in Kunyang Prefecture in no time, traveling at breakneck speed.
