Chapter 852 Showdown (5)

“She is managing everything for you and trying every possible way to preserve the Shen family. Mingqi’s royal family’s future is also someone she has to deal with. General Shen is now saying that Shen Miao will be embarrassed by this. I don’t understand,” he said coldly and mockingly: “Do you really understand Shen Miao?”

Shen Xin sat on the chair, but at this moment he suddenly felt ashamed.

"On the contrary, although Shen Jiaojiao and I may not have a very close friendship, we have at least shared joys and sorrows. We have listened to the sayings of the shortness of good times together, and we have come up with strategies at night. I have saved her life and rescued her from danger." Xie Jingxing said, "Why can't I marry her?"

Infinite fatigue suddenly arose in Chen Xin's heart. The Shen Miao that Xie Jingxing mentioned was someone he was unfamiliar with, a stranger. He was also completely unaware of the things Shen Miao had experienced. Just as Xie Jingxing said, he believed he loved his daughter deeply, but he couldn't even understand her from the beginning. So what had he done all these years?

He stared at the remaining chess game on the table for a long, long time, until his eyes began to ache, then he whispered, "Tell me everything."

"You know, tell me everything about Jiaojiao."

…

When Pei Lang woke up, he was in an unfamiliar place. Surrounded by well-dressed maids, he was served medicine. His only memory before his coma was of the dungeon in Prince Ding's mansion, where a masked figure in black rescued him from a fire. Perhaps he did, because he was still alive.

He didn't know who had saved him, nor why. He asked the maids who had helped him drink the medicine, and they only knew that this was Prince Rui's mansion.

Pei Lang had a vague feeling that Shen Miao and Prince Rui might have some connection, but he didn't know how far they'd come. He reasoned that Prince Rui wouldn't take him in for no reason, and if he did, it must be because of Shen Miao. Shen Miao hadn't given up on him, and the thought of this moved Pei Lang's heart.

It seemed as if everything he persisted in was worth it at this moment, although Pei Lang did not understand where this inexplicable idea came from.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the room opened and a young man walked in from outside, carrying a medicine box on his back. He walked over to him and sat down, as if to take his pulse.

Pei Lang didn't look carefully at first, thinking that this was the doctor hired by Prince Rui's Mansion. When he saw the doctor's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Doctor Gao!"

His movements were so large that they pulled at the wound on his body, causing him to gasp with a hiss. Gao Yang quickly pressed on his wound and said, "Don't be so surprised. Be careful not to pull at the wound."

Pei Lang looked at Gao Yang, many thoughts swirling through his mind. Gao Yang was the youngest physician in the Imperial Hospital. His medical skills were considered exceptional, though no one could truly prove them. However, the imperial family greatly favored this young physician, perhaps because he was so articulate, often pleasing Emperor Wenhui. Furthermore, he was handsome, making him much more pleasing to the concubines than the old men in the Imperial Hospital.

Since he was the imperial physician, he wouldn't treat anyone outside the palace without a reason, especially since this was Prince Rui's residence. Pei Lang's first thought was, could it be that Prince Rui had borrowed Gao Yang from Emperor Wenhui for him? However, this idea was quickly dismissed by Pei Lang. While Dingjing valued skilled physicians, Gao Yang wasn't the only one. Prince Rui didn't need to bother calling Gao Yang and alerting the royal family.

Then the second possibility is that Gao Yang and King Rui have some private friendship.

This possibility was truly shocking. He looked up at Gao Yang with a doubtful look in his eyes, but with a gentle smile on his face, he asked, "Why is Doctor Gao here?"
