Everyone present was so frightened that they rushed forward and lifted the prince up.
The prince screamed in pain, and his entire right calf was opened by the horns.
The queen was bathing her hair in the palace. The maid applied precious balm to her wet hair and rubbed it gently so that the balm could penetrate into the hair.
The steward Zhou Ren used a rhinoceros horn comb to massage the queen's scalp. It is said that the rhinoceros horn comb can calm the mind, and the effect is even better when combined with ambergris.
The queen lay there on her back, looking peaceful.
Zhou Ren said in a low voice: "Empress, I see that you have been particularly radiant recently. After a while, your hair dried, and I found the phoenix blood jade head and face. It is sure to be beautiful."
The queen smiled slightly when she heard this: "It's up to you, it doesn't matter what you wear."
Just as he was talking, a little eunuch ran in in a panic. Zhou Ren was very unhappy, frowned, looked back at the little eunuch and scolded: "How many years have you been working here? You are so unruly!"
The young eunuch knelt down in fear and said: "This servant has something important to report, the prince..."
"What's wrong with the prince?" The queen immediately opened her eyes.
"The prince is injured," said the little eunuch, "his leg."
The maids who were bathing the queen quickly wrapped the queen's hair in large cloth towels.
The queen sat up and asked, "Where was the injury? Is it serious?"
"I didn't see it with my own eyes. I just heard from the people who followed the prince that he was injured in Ma Yuan. As for whether it's serious or not, I don't know. I only know that he hired an imperial doctor."
After hearing this, Zhou Ren quickly comforted the queen: "My dear, don't worry, the prince is so blessed that nothing will happen to him."
But how could the queen rest assured, and ordered: "Go and call one of the people who are following the prince, and dry my hair quickly."
The little eunuch quickly got up and ran out. Zhou Ren led several maids to dry the queen's hair on the fumigation cage.
After a while, a eunuch in front of the prince was called over. He knelt down tremblingly, not daring to raise his head.
When the queen saw the eunuch's expression, she felt that something was wrong.
"Has the imperial doctor gone?" the queen asked.
"I've gone, both Dr. Zhang and Dr. Liu have gone," the eunuch replied.
"What did they say?" the queen asked again.
"This... the two imperial doctors are checking it out and have not reached a conclusion yet," the eunuch replied.
"How did the prince get hurt? Please explain it to me in detail." The queen's right eyelid couldn't help but twitch, and she raised her hand to press it.
"To report to the Queen, the Crown Prince came back from the palace and said he wanted to ride a horse. The younger ones could not dissuade him no matter what.
The prince rode on the Pegasus horse that was sent as tribute from the Western Regions. He was very interested and said he wanted to hunt.
So he ordered people to let the cow out of the stable, and the prince wanted to kill it with a bow and arrow."
When the little eunuch said this, he couldn't help but swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and continued: "The prince is very skilled in archery, and soon that cow will be no longer good.
The prince then dismounted from his horse, but the cow suddenly got angry and hit the prince's leg with its horns."
"You idiots! How could you let the prince do such a dangerous thing?!" the queen angrily yelled, "Why didn't you come and report earlier?! Why didn't you stand in front of the prince?!"
"This slave deserves to die! This slave deserves to die! This slave deserves to die!" The eunuch kowtowed desperately. He had known that if something like this happened, none of them would be able to survive.
It's not okay to commit suicide out of fear of crime, as that will bring harm to your family.
They must risk their lives first and let the queen vent her anger before giving her death.
"Your Majesty, your body is important. The prince is already injured, so you can't be angry anymore." Zhou Ren supported the queen and comforted him, "wasn't that cow brought into the palace by Concubine Cen? Maybe this is her conspiracy.
Woolen cloth!"
This sentence reminded the queen. She did not consider that the prince was not careful. She only thought that the cow was brought into the palace by Cen Yunchu. Don't think so. It was Cen Yunchu who designed to frame the prince.
"That bitch named Cen! Seeing that she couldn't defeat me, she actually came up with such a despicable method! This time I must let her die without a burial place!"
The queen gritted her teeth and looked vicious.
The little palace maid who was combing her hair shook her hand and the comb in her hand fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
The queen turned around and slapped her, knocking the little palace maid to the ground.
"You idiot! Get out of here!"
The little palace maid was so frightened that she quickly got up and left. Everyone in the room was silent.
"Hurry up and pull up my hair. I want to see the prince." The queen couldn't wait any longer.
At this time, the news of the prince's injury had spread throughout the harem.
After Cen Yunchu heard about it, he only said calmly: "Watch the people in our palace and don't move around."
She knew that it wouldn't be long before the queen came to her door.
When the queen came to the prince's palace, she heard screams from a distance.
Her heart was in her throat, and her legs couldn't help but feel weak.
When the people around the prince saw the queen coming, they all knelt down to say hello.
The queen ignored them and walked to the prince's bed in two steps.
"Zong'er, how are you?" The queen took the prince's hand and saw that his face was pale and without a trace of blood.
"Mother..." The prince burst into tears as soon as he saw the queen, "My legs hurt so much."
"Don't be afraid, it's already bandaged. I'll ask them to get some painkillers for you to take."
"Queen Mother, can I still save my leg?" The prince was extremely frightened.
If his legs become disabled, it will be impossible for him to become emperor again.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." The queen comforted him repeatedly, "As long as the queen is here, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Hearing what the queen said, the prince felt relieved a little.
By this time the medicine had been prepared, and the maid next to the prince brought it over.
"Good boy, take the medicine." The queen said, "After taking it, have a good sleep."
She knew that most of the painkillers contained sleeping ingredients, and it would be absolutely unbearable for him to be in pain while he was awake like this.
The queen watched the prince take the medicine, and then watched him slowly close his eyes.
Just then he stood up and walked outside.
Everyone who had been kneeling slowly stood up. The two doctors looked at each other, sighed, and followed them out.
"How is the prince's injury? You two tell the truth." The queen glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice.
"Queen Qi, the prince is seriously injured." Dr. Zhang knelt down and replied, "The horns of the ox cut off his hamstring. I am afraid that it will be difficult to cure him due to my limited medical skills."
When the queen heard this, her heart went cold and she almost collapsed on the chair.
Zhou Ren quickly supported her and asked questions on behalf of the queen.
"Can't you reattach a broken hamstring? I heard before that someone's broken hamstring can be reattached."
"Yes, there is, but it was cut with a knife. The cut is neat and easy to connect.
But the injury of the prince is different. The hamstring was gouged out by the horn. A section of it had to be cut off before it could be reinstalled. In this case, the tendon would be three inches shorter." Dr. Zhang said in embarrassment.
