He Lin noticed the emperor’s grave expression and quickly walked up to him. “Your Majesty, the imperial physicians will take some time to arrive. However, this humble official has some knowledge of medicine. Please allow this humble official to examine the princess!”

The emperor glanced at He Lin, which he took as permission. He Lin quickly went up to Princess Leyao’s side and took her pulse.

Princess Leyao stayed still, and He Lin examined her as quickly as he could.

A few moments later, He Lin turned around, his brows tightly pressed together.

“What’s the result?!” The emperor was very familiar with He Lin, who was the commander of the Yulin Army. Seeing the expression on his face, he was very much aware that the situation was dire.

Right as He Lin was about to speak, the emperor raised his hand to stop him, then took a few steps to the side, signalling to He Lin to speak softly.

He Lin put his thoughts in order and his expression became even more sombre.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me for being blunt, but I’m afraid Princess Leyao’s left leg might be crippled… Even if we find a highly skilled doctor who can save the leg, Princess Leyao will have trouble walking in the future, and that’s the best case scenario...”

The emperor sucked a cold breath through his teeth.

What?

His daughter’s leg was crippled?

He Lin was an incredibly conservative and competent person and he always spoke appropriately. He would never say something that he wasn’t sure of. Since he said that Princess Leyao’s leg was truly crippled, the reality might even be worse than his statement.

The emperor shut his eyes, and calmed down soon after.

He walked back to Princess Leyao’s side. At this point of time, he had already regained his rationality. Right now, he wasn’t just a father. In front of everyone, he was a monarch who wouldn’t tolerate any failure.

“Yuanzhou, bring some men with you to take the princess back. At the camp, get Physician Zhou to treat Yao’er immediately.”

The guard, Yuanzhou, immediately complied.

Earlier, the emperor and He Lin had intentionally stepped away to speak in privacy, but He Changdi had still been able to hear their conversation with his sharp ears.

He was rather surprised at the condition of Princess Leyao’s leg… In his previous life, this hadn’t happened at all. Even up till his death, all he knew was that Princess Leyao was living happily and well.

Yuanzhou was about to pick up Princess Leyao from Royal Prince Lu Tai’s arms when Imperial Princess Leyao unexpectedly cried out.

With tears streaming down her face and a heart-rending wail, she pointed at He Changdi and demanded, “Father, I want Big Brother Changdi to take me back, wuwu...”

The emperor was stunned. He stared over at He Changdi, who was still holding the longsword he had used to behead the horse in hand. The sword was still dripping blood, and he had an aura of slaughter about him.
