The Prime Minister's eldest daughter was betrothed to the powerful and influential Prince Reverent!
This should have been a great joyous occasion, but one was a famously ugly and useless ...
"Your Highness, please don't worry. Although Lord Sai doesn't say it, I can tell he's very concerned about you. If you feel uncomfortable asking, just let me do it." Granny Wang understood her mistress's dilemma, but she didn't want her mistress to be too tired.
They have too few people they can use now, and it's not easy to bring in people from outside the palace, let alone experts like Lord Sai.
"That's the only way. That little bastard is cunning; I really don't trust just anyone." The Empress nodded helplessly, then remembered another important matter: "What did those people from the White Tiger Kingdom say?"
Granny Wang didn't reply, but shook her head with a grim expression.
"Keep an eye on it. If the soft approach doesn't work, we'll use the hard one. Anyway, our people are already in the city. This is what Lord Sai wants, so we must do our best." The Queen murmured, then leaned back in her chair and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Granny Wang carefully left the room, conveying the Empress's message to Qian Sheng, leaving the rest to Qian Sheng to handle himself.
...
Yawn, yawn!
Qian Youxue sneezed several times, chasing away all her drowsiness. She rubbed her uncomfortable nose and got out of bed.
After a few days of rest, the injury on my buttock has healed.
Since the wall was fixed, that freak hasn't shown up again. It's been several days; doesn't that guy need me to treat his illness myself?
That's not right!
Unless that guy isn't even in the Prince's mansion, or he's not allowing that kid to come back?
At this moment, Mei rushed in from outside, panting, and reported, "Master, no... something bad has happened. The Prince seems to have been seriously injured and has been secretly carried back."
No zuo no die!
This guy really forgets the pain once the wound heals; his body simply can't handle any more strain. What on earth could be driving him to such extremes?
Just as he was deep in thought, Leng Qing rushed back into the room, her face full of anxiety, and said with her hands clasped, "Your Majesty, please go and see our master, he..."
"Could he really be crippled?" Qian Youxue said casually. Seeing that Leng Qing's expression was getting worse, she took a step to go over, but then suddenly remembered what Granny Zhou had said. She sat down and calmly poured herself a cup of tea.
thump!
Leng Qing knelt on the ground. She hadn't told her master about Leng Xue's actions; during his absence, the only one who could protect their master was their princess. Even if they were to be worshipped, they had to be treated with the utmost respect.
"Kneeling at the drop of a hat, the rules of the Prince's Mansion are really bad." It's not that Qian Youxue dislikes Leng Qing and Leng Yu, but the two of them have a problem with her, which makes her feel uneasy.
During the stalemate, Yunhe ran in from outside, covered in sweat. He picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and, catching his breath, noticed Leng Qing was there. After hesitating for a while, he spoke up: "Master...Master, Sai Miaoshou is coming towards the Prince's Mansion."
"A master sniper!" Leng Yu and Qian Youxue exclaimed simultaneously. The next moment, Qian Youxue uttered two words: "Not good!"
After saying that, Qian Youxue ran to Xuan Mingye's place.
Inside the room, Granny Zhou sat on the edge of the bed, sobbing, while Leng Xue kept trying to persuade her, occasionally glancing furtively at the doorway.
Indifference and Cold Rain stood on the left, while Water Splash and Waterweed stood on the right. Everyone was worried about their master, especially Water Splash, who craned its neck.
Seeing Qian Youxue appear in the room, Leng Xue and Leng Mo felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts. Shuicao and Granny Zhou glanced at her with disdain, and Granny Zhou wiped away her tears, urging Leng Xue, "Doctor, why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"
"Granny Zhou, please leave this to Her Highness the Princess!" Leng Xue said, then stepped forward and bowed to the Princess.
Subsequently, the others treated Leng Mo with the same courtesy, and Shui Cao was no exception. Only Shui Hua reluctantly made a gesture without saying a word.
As Zhou Mama spoke, she completely ignored the so-called princess and turned to Leng Xue to interrogate him: "This old servant greets the princess! Leng Xue, what use is the princess if you don't find a doctor for the prince?"
“Granny Zhou, the Prince is currently in a coma, so the Princess Consort should make the decisions regarding matters in the manor, shouldn’t she?” Leng Xue’s mind worked quickly enough.
The others were so anxious they were practically in their throats. Qian Youxue's face turned even uglier. Too lazy to deal with this troublesome old woman, she stepped forward and took the demon's pulse.
Fortunately, this guy knew to seal his acupoints to protect himself, so his life is safe. But his body is in such a state now, how many medicinal herbs will it take to recover?
Is this bastard rich and has nowhere to spend his money, or is he deliberately trying to torment her?
"Your Highness, what about Master?" Leng Xue asked worriedly.
"You won't die. You and Leng Xue stay and help. Everyone else, go down," Qian Youxue said irritably.
Upon hearing this, Granny Zhou became unwilling and hastily spread her arms to block the prince, saying, "Even if you are the princess, you cannot joke with our prince's life. Guards, take the princess back."
"You!" Yunhe took two steps forward, still angry.
Waterweed and Water Flower stepped forward to stop Yunhe. Even if they couldn't beat them, they couldn't let the mistress and servant act recklessly. However, Waterweed noticed that Leng Qing and Leng Yu were still standing there unmoved, staring at them with hateful eyes.
"Leng Qing, Leng Yu, the Prince has always treated you so well. Are you just going to stand by and watch the Princess Consort harm him?" Shui Hua blurted out, hitting Zhou Mama right where it was going. Zhou Mama looked up at the two maids and said, "Leng Qing, Leng Yu, what are you standing there for? Go and take the Princess Consort back!"
Leng Qing and Leng Yu gritted their teeth in hatred, glaring at their leader, Leng Xue. Leng Xue gently shook his head; he naturally understood the importance of the princess.
Qian Youxue was so angry that she forgot about Sai Miaoshou. She sat on the edge of the bed with her arms crossed, wanting to see if this old woman would dare to lay a hand on her again.
Just as everyone was at an impasse, Uncle Cai appeared at the door. Sensing the tense atmosphere even before entering, he nervously stepped inside: "This old servant greets Your Highness, Your Highness! Lord Sai requests an audience!"
Damn it! We forgot about the Mastermind!
Qian Youxue stood up excitedly, her face showing panic.
However, in Zhou Mama's eyes, this look of panic was evidence of the princess's guilty conscience. Not far away, Shuihua deliberately said, "Is Uncle Cai talking about that senior alchemist, Sai Miaoshou?"
"That's right!" Uncle Cai replied truthfully.
"Quickly, quickly invite him to take a look at the Prince!" Granny Zhou shouted happily upon hearing this.
"No!" Qian Youxue immediately stopped Zhou Mama's foolish behavior. Allowing Sai Miaoshou to approach at this time would undoubtedly hasten the death of that demon.
Seeing this, Granny Zhou also lost her temper and ordered the waterweed beside her: "Go and bring the golden whip. The Prince's mansion will not tolerate anyone running wild!"
