Cupid's Assistant

Chapter 82

"Your highness, we have done everything we could, and there is no way for us to save him. The dagger had gone straight to his heart. I-I think it's best for your highness to prepare for the funeral," one of the many doctors who had been summoned meekly said. The remaining ones quietly agreed and lowered their heads.

"What did you say?" Fu Zhong's voice became dead cold. "Say it one more time! With all of your heads put together, you can't save a life! Then why call yourself a doctor!" Fu Zhong roared.

"Y-your...highness...," one of the doctors tried to speak, but once they saw Fu Zhong's bloodshot eyes. They all shut their mouths and hurried back inside.

It didn't take long for the word to spread that the battle was over and that Zhang Yuz had been defeated. Once Chen Yang heard the news, she quickly rushed to the palace. The guards immediately stopped her.

"I-I know her highness, Princess Zhao Ying. Please ask for her highness! My name is Chen Yang. Or asked for Li Xiaodan," Chen Yang begged.

"Stand back! The royal palace is in shutdown. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO ENTER," one of the guards shouted.

"Please.... If you talk to her highness, she will know me," Chen Yang pleaded.

Xiaodan and Zhao Ying were restlessly sitting in Zhao Ying's courtyard. They nervously sat, waiting for any updates on the situation. Soon, a maid came in, and both Xiaodan and Zhao Ying stood up.

"How is it? Is he alright?" Zhao Ying asked.

"Sorry, your highness. I came here to inform you that there is a woman outside the palace asking for you. No matter how much we urged her to leave, she wouldn't. She insisted that she knew her highness," the maid bowed.

"What's her name?" Zhao Ying asked.

"She said her name is Chen Yang, your highness." The maid answered.

Both Xiaodan and Zhao Ying remembered Chen Yang and thought she must be worried sick about them.

"Allow entrance. Better yet, I will go and meet her," Zhao Ying said in a hurry. They hurried to meet Chen Yang as if it were better than sitting and worrying.

Once Chen Yang entered and saw Xiaodan and Zhao Ying, she hurried over and hugged Xiaodan.

"Xiaodan! Thank goodness, you are alright. I was so worried about you. You are not hurt, right? Once I heard the news, I hurried over," Chen Yang said, starting to look at Xiaodan's body.

"I'm fine...," Xiaodan said, patting Chen Yang's hands.

"How about the others?" Chen Yang said, looking around and only seeing Xiaodan and Zhao Ying. Both Xiaodan and Zhao Ying went quiet.

"What's wrong? Who got hurt?" Chen Yang asked.

"Jiu..Jun was stabbed in the heart and is still being treated... We haven't heard anything yet," Xiaodan softly said.

Chen Yang froze, not understanding what Xiaodan had said. She felt like a bucket of cold water splashed her.

"No...that can't be...He's going to be fine.... H-he promised me...." Chen Yang mumbled.

"Where is he? I want to see him," Chen Yang said quickly.

"He....," Xiaodan tried to say.

"Please!" Chen Yang begged with red eyes.

It didn't take long for Chen Yang to reach where Jiu Jun was being treated. She spotted Fu Zhong had finished talking to the many doctors as they lowered their heads and left.
