Chapter 1699: Chapter 617: The Reverse of the Female Lead (Part 6)_2

“You… You don’t come over, this Jade Pendant was personally blessed by Master Hui Tong, it possesses profound—”

The word “Mana” hadn’t yet left his mouth when Prince Liang was suddenly silenced, as if a duck being strangled.

Because He Tiantian reached out and snatched the Jade Pendant away, her thin hands squeezing it forcefully.

Crash!

The solid Jade Pendant was unexpectedly crushed into powder, falling to the ground from He Tiantian’s hand.

Prince Liang’s mouth opened wide, staring in disbelief at He Tiantian.

His gaze was filled with terror.

He wanted to cry out for help, but He Tiantian was quicker, extending her hand to grasp Prince Liang’s collar.

Prince Liang felt a tremendous force pulling him toward the edge of the bathing barrel.

Crash!

No one knew how much time had passed before Prince Liang felt like he was about to die, and amidst the confusion, the voice of Miss He reached his ears—

“Prince, how could you be so careless?”

“Oh dear! Be careful, Prince!”

Bang!

Prince Liang felt a sharp pain in his head, as if it had struck something hard.

And then… there was nothing.

Prince Liang completely lost consciousness.

He Tiantian gazed at the unconscious Prince Liang on the ground, operating her cultivation technique to absorb the increasingly dense Dragon Energy from him.

Without the Qi Fortune, leaving only the crimson Blood Evil Energy, Prince Liang would not only become more and more unlucky but also suffer a massive backlash.

For instance, He Tiantian merely gave his head a gentle knock, and he ended up severely injured and unable to rise.

If things went awry, Prince Liang might even become a living corpse!

He Tiantian had endured until this moment for a reason—she wasn’t doing this out of revenge; it was self-defense!

He Tiantian exited the bathhouse, feigning panic as she shouted, “Someone come! Quickly, someone come!”

Her voice was shrill and carried deep panic.

Yet, the maids outside seemed not to hear her.

Unable to help it, over the past few days, they had become immune.

The Prince had instructed in advance that regardless of the Princess Consort’s shouting, they were not to respond.

He Tiantian:… Could this be considered as suffering the consequences of one’s own actions?

He Tiantian had initially hoped for people to come “rescue” Prince Liang early, but due to Prince Liang’s arrangements, no one responded to her cries for help.

However, He Tiantian had additional plans; the performance had to be comprehensive.

“…Someone come quickly, the Prince has fainted!”

He Tiantian rushed to the door, frantically banging on it.

Even if she was just pounding for help, the servants outside still wouldn’t have any reaction.

But shouting “the Prince has fainted” made the maids, although still hesitant, start moving after all.

The leader of the maids was named Jin Yu, a palace maid given to the Prince by his mother, Consort Shu, serving as the Prince’s chief maid.

She cared deeply for the Prince.

Upon hearing He Tiantian’s cry, although suspecting that the Princess Consort might be making a fuss, she was more worried about her own Prince.

Jin Yu dared not delay, quickly leading a few people to rush in.

At the door, she saw He Tiantian half-soaked, quickly yelling at two maids, “You ‘serve’ the Princess Consort!”

The two maids understood, standing on either side to ‘guard’ He Tiantian.

With these arrangements made, Jin Yu quickly rushed into the bathhouse, seeing the similarly soaked but unconscious Prince Liang on the floor.

“Prince!”

Jin Yu was almost frightened to the point of soul scattering.

Rushing forward, squatting down, she carefully checked Prince Liang’s breathing with her fingers.

Thankfully!

There’s still warmth!

Jin Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief, promptly shouting outside, “Quickly fetch the Imperial Physician!”

Then, Jin Yu called several stout old women, carefully moving Prince Liang to the bedroom, placing him on the bed.

While waiting for the Imperial Physician, Jin Yu began by wiping Prince Liang’s body and removing his soaked clothes.

Subsequently, she approached He Tiantian, her expression unfriendly, and demanded, “Princess Consort, what exactly happened?”

“Why is the Prince injured?”

While wiping Prince Liang, Jin Yu naturally noticed the protruding bump on the back of his head.

Although there was no bleeding, the egg-sized bump was evidence enough of Prince Liang’s serious injury!

Yet, in the bathhouse, there was only a bathing barrel, oh, and Lady He.

But Lady He, so weak and starved for days, even if she wanted to take advantage to harm the Prince, she… she couldn’t possibly manage.

How did their Prince get injured?

He Tiantian seemed frightened, her expression filled with lingering fear.

Upon hearing Jin Yu’s questioning, her eyes flashed with confusion, “I… I don’t know either. The Prince said he wanted to… to help me bathe—”

At this point, He Tiantian deliberately exhibited shyness and timidity.
