Xiange didn't even glance at the guards who had drawn their swords at each other. He remained composed and unyielding as he stood in front of the Crown Prince.
"Thank you for your concerns, Crown Prince. My lord is recovering and simply needs to rest quietly."
"Hmm, that's good. I'll go in to see him. I brought the Imperial Physician along to have him take a look."
As the Crown Prince spoke, he naturally stepped forward, intending to pass Xiange and enter. However, Xiange blocked him with a swift move, saying, "Please halt, Crown Prince!"
"Outrageous! How dare you be disrespectful to the Crown Prince!"
The guards beside the Crown Prince instantly drew their swords, glaring angrily at Xiange.
The Crown Prince's expression remained unchanged, as if unchanged by Xiange's rudeness. He waved his hand to order the guards to sheath their swords and fall back.
"I know your loyalty and bravery are commendable. Having such a fine general gives me great relief, ninth brother."
