The maid came forward and said with concern: "Madam, it's better to go back and rest for a while."
Zhao Rui nodded, as if remembering something, and asked: "Is your Highness okay over there?"
The maid replied: "His Royal Highness has just finished bathing and is currently going to Xiaochuanzi's place to see Xiaochuanzi's injury."
"Xiao Chuanzi?" Zhao Rui asked, "Did he protect me?"
"Yes, Madam, the situation was urgent at that time. No one expected that an assassin would suddenly appear. Moreover, the assassin pretending to be a palace maid was very close to His Highness, and the guards had no time to protect him. However, Ogawako quickly blocked the knife for His Highness. Otherwise,
Now I'm afraid it's going to be very bad."
Zhao Rui nodded and said, "Then I will go back and rest for a while, and then I will deal with the palace maid when Your Highness comes."
As she spoke, Zhao Rui clenched her fists slightly and murmured: "Compared with appearance, the Crown Princess is only above me, not below me."
"Compared with family background, background, and ability, I am not as good as her."
"But now I should be of some use to His Highness, right?"
A maid who was usually the most favored by Zhao Rui said distressedly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is not a heartless person."
"His Royal Highness should have feelings for the empress, but the empress does not have to be like this."
"You don't understand." Zhao Rui shook his head and said.
"The harem is as deep as the sea, and right now it's just me and the Crown Princess. If one day His Highness ascends the throne, and there are three thousand beauties in the harem, if I don't show my abilities, I will be forgotten by everyone sooner or later."
"At that time, it will only be a matter of time before His Highness forgets about me."
"So I will do my best to let His Highness see that I am not just a vase!"
······
At this time, Li Chen had arrived at the room where Ogawazi was being treated.
As soon as Li Chen arrived, he saw Zhang Hezhi coming out of the room with his hands covered in blood.
"How is Xiaochuanzi?" Li Chen asked.
Zhang Hezhi quickly wiped the blood on his hands, then raised his hands and replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, although it looks dangerous, this eunuch is really a little lucky."
"The edge of the dagger could barely pass by his heart. If it were even the slightest bit off, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive today."
"Now after Wei Chen's diagnosis and treatment, the condition is no longer serious. He is just very weak due to excessive blood loss and needs to rest for a few days."
Li Chen nodded and asked Zhang Hezhi to brew the medicine while he himself entered the room.
As soon as he entered the room, Xiaochuanzi raised his eyes and saw Li Chen coming, so he struggled to get up and salute.
"No need to be polite." Li Chen waved his hand and motioned for Xiaochuanzi to lie back.
He sat next to the car and asked: "The imperial doctor said that you have lost too much blood and are still very weak. You need to rest for a while. You can just lie down peacefully."
Ogawa's status was low, he was still a eunuch, and even among the eunuchs he had the lowest status.
When did he have the opportunity to talk face to face with Li Chen like this?
A flush appeared on his pale face due to excessive blood loss, and he said: "Your Highness treats this slave so kindly, I will die without regrets."
"You have done a good job in protecting me and are my savior. This is what you should do."
Li Chen said gently: "I promised you before that I would reward you for your merits. Tell me, what do you want?"
Xiaochuanzi said hurriedly that all this is the servant's responsibility and he dare not ask for reward.
Apart from you being a slave and me being the master, do you have any personal relationship with me? Li Chen asked.
