The farce in the Marquis of Jinyang's mansion ended with Shen Feng, grinning, being carried out by the servants who rushed in.
His arms and legs, which were already in poor condition, became even worse after being slapped twice by Xue Linglong, especially the injured leg, which accidentally fell off the chair while dodging and hit the ground hard.
After examining him, the doctor shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there will be sequelae in the future."
After hearing what the doctor said, he didn't dare to go out of the house every day anymore.
The position of Duke or the throne are all things for the future. The most urgent thing is not to become disabled.
During the recovery period, Shen Feng did not dare to stay in Qifeng Courtyard, so he simply lived in the front yard. The culprit who caused his injuries to worsen not only did not show any concern but also sent his maidservant over again and again to warn him not to keep the ancient jade for himself if he found it.
Otherwise, he would be harmed by the backlash of the "divine power" of the ancient jade.
Shen Feng didn't believe a single word of those warnings.
After being her bedfellow for so many years, just as Xue Linglong guessed that he wanted to take the ancient jade for himself, he also guessed that the ancient jade was definitely not for her use only as Xue Linglong said.
But now, since we can't find the whereabouts of the ancient jade, it's useless to say anything.
There is no doubt that the ancient jade was related to the previous theft of the large warehouse and the burning of Wei Yunlan's dowry warehouse.
The treasures that disappeared from the big warehouse and the things in Wei Yunlan's private warehouse as part of her dowry should have fallen into the hands of the thief who stole the ancient jade.
He had previously suspected Wei Yunlan, who left the Marquis' Mansion on the day of the wedding. Calculating the time, the things in the Marquis's mansion's warehouse were stolen on that day, and Wei Yunlan also had every motive to steal things from the Marquis of Jinyang's mansion.
However, the fire in Wei Yunlan's private dowry storehouse in Zhufeng Courtyard made him give up this idea. On the day the private storehouse caught fire, Wei Yunlan had already followed the rest of the Wei family into exile. It was impossible that she was the one who set the fire. None of the relatives of the Wei family in Beijing, whether it was the Xuguo Mansion or the third branch of the Tong family, had the ability to sneak into the Jinyang Marquis Mansion and set fire quietly.
This fire must have been caused by someone in the mansion at that time...
The most suspicious person is the servant who has already left the Marquis' Mansion.
Especially the maids who were missing from Xue Linglong's side.
He even suspected that his daughter who was "kidnapped" together with the maid was not actually abducted, but was deliberately taken away by the two maids.
Or perhaps, Cui Tao, who later disappeared with the banknotes, was also suspicious.
But no matter which of these people, their whereabouts are now unknown!
I feel depressed and my leg injury is unbearable.
Shen Feng only felt that he was lying on the bed, being tortured.
Even though it was late at night, I still kept my eyes open, unable to fall asleep.
At this moment, he seemed to hear his servant talking to someone at the door.
"Doctor Liu didn't dare let us tell the prince."
"The injury is on the root of my thigh, and I was hit hard by an external force. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to recover in the future..."
"As for Madam, her health is not good to begin with. I don't know if she can bear this news. Alas! The prince has not left any descendants yet..."
Every word he heard made Shen Feng feel dizzy.
He pounded the bed board hard with his hands at his sides.
The low conversation outside stopped instantly.
The servant walked in with his head lowered, looking terrified, "My Lord..."
Shen Feng took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Please tell me clearly what the doctor said."
"What else are you hiding from me about this leg injury?"
"Young Master..." The servant looked embarrassed.
Chen Feng shouted sharply: "Speak!"
The servant raised his head cautiously to take a look at Chen Feng's face, and answered with a stiff face: "My Lord, in addition to the injuries on your arms and legs, you are also injured in another place. Doctor Liu said that you may have some difficulties in having children in the future."
The words were spoken haltingly and in an extremely euphemistic way.
But how could Shen Feng not hear the real meaning of the words?
This means that he will not have any descendants in the future.
He can't do it!
Shen Feng's eyes were bloodshot.
He never imagined that after having a "prophetic" life, before he could start to realize his ambitions, he would receive such bad news!
"My Lord, please don't let this get you down."
"Yes, my Lord, fortunately the Crown Prince's wife left you a little girl. It's not like there has never been a precedent for women marrying into the family in Dayong..."
It’s better not to persuade.
Once he advised Chen Feng, he felt even more headache.
He suppressed the news that his and Xue Linglong's daughter had been abducted and it did not spread. Outsiders only thought that the little girl was still being raised in her uncle's home.
When he thought of the neglected child, who might very well be his only bloodline in this life, Shen Feng suddenly regretted not taking her back to the Marquis' Mansion.
But it was too late to regret now. The child, like those maids whom he suspected to be thieves, could not be found at all.
After all, if the child is missing, the ancient jade will be hard to find.
All the misfortunes were not as devastating as the news the servant had just told him.
He, Shen Feng, is actually no longer able to do it!
With his emotions surging, Shen Feng only felt a bloody taste in his throat, his eyes rolled back, and he finally couldn't help but fainted.
…
Wei Yunlan, who was far away in Beiguan, had no idea that her "ex-husband" had encountered such a huge change.
I didn’t know that a possible crisis had already been resolved by the people around me long ago.
The riot at the Jinyang Marquis Mansion in the capital has been forgotten.
At this time, they have more important things to do.
More than half a month has passed since the Northern Barbarian Army retreated.
Tianshu Pavilion finally got the latest news from the Northern Barbarians.
The Northern Barbarian Chanyu, who had been bedridden for a long time, finally woke up. He has placed Prince Huyan, who had been in control of government affairs during this period, under house arrest and is now back in power.
However, he was poisoned and was in a coma for a period of time. His health was not as good as before and he was unable to handle government affairs.
The issue of succession, which had never been considered before, was finally brought to the fore. The eldest prince was placed under house arrest, the second prince was seriously injured, disfigured and half paralyzed, and the third and fourth princes, who were originally not favored, were included in the selection range. Now, with the assistance of Master Nanxing, they are handling some government affairs.
This is the information that can be obtained openly.
The news sent privately by the Helian tribe stated that Master Nanxing rescued the second prince from Dayong this time, and was better than the third prince in handling government affairs? The fourth prince is much stronger than the others.
He also has some blood of the Huyan royal family flowing in his body.
Someone around the Chanyu had already suggested that he be included as a candidate, and the Chanyu did not explicitly refuse.
Compared with the fledgling Third Prince and Fourth Prince, the mediocre First Prince and the reckless Second Prince, Young Master Nanxing's chances of winning do not seem to be low. It all depends on what decision the Chanyu makes.
But Qi Xu and Wei Yunlan already knew his identity.
I will never allow him to succeed so smoothly!
