Chapter 33
Song Xuan looked at Xia Zi behind him, his gentle tone turning anxious and tense: "Quickly return to the palace and invite the imperial physician over!"
After agreeing repeatedly, Xia Zi hurriedly ran towards the palace.
Song Xuan stared intently at the unconscious girl on the bed, his eyes brimming with heartache and worry.
The room was filled with a faint scent of jasmine. The girl's face was pale and her eyes were tightly closed.
Shen Zheng rushed over, and his eyes suddenly turned red when he saw Shen Qingnian.
He knelt directly in front of Song Xuan, gritting his teeth: "Your Highness, that Lin Yue'er is simply too much! Please, Your Highness, do justice for my daughter!"
The gentleness on Song Xuan's face faded, replaced by seriousness and coldness: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister Shen, I will handle this matter properly."
Lin Yue'er has provoked Shen Qingnian many times, and even in front of him, she has not restrained herself at all. This time, she even whipped someone. He will definitely deal with her severely!
Upon hearing Song Xuan's words, Shen Zheng raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face and kowtowed, saying, "Your humble servant thanks Your Highness the Crown Prince."
At this moment, Xiaxiazi led the imperial physician in.
After the imperial physician carefully examined Shen Qingnian, he knelt before Song Xuan.
His tone was cautious and careful: "Your Highness, Miss Shen's back wound is quite deep and requires proper rest. It might leave a scar in the future..."
If a woman has scars on her body, it will be very difficult for her to get married, which is tantamount to a fatal blow to a young woman.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zheng, who had just calmed down, became agitated again. He couldn't help but wail, "My daughter, you have to suffer like this before you're even married. How am I supposed to live like this in the future?"
You lost your mother when you were young, and now you're in poor health. Why is your life so miserable...?
As Shen Zheng wiped away his tears, he spoke with deep sorrow, perfectly portraying the deep love a father has for his daughter.
Song Xuan's expression was cold. He looked at Xia Xiazi and said, "Lin Yue'er is arrogant and domineering, and her behavior is inappropriate. She is to be confined to her quarters and is not allowed to go out without my order. Lin Minxin has failed to properly educate his daughter, so he is also to be confined to his quarters."
Xiazi accepted the order and left.
Shen Zheng made no attempt to hide his resentment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, I have something I wish to show you. Please come with me to the study."
These days, he has been collecting evidence of Lin Minxin's embezzlement and bribery, and now he has a chance to put it to use. Although the evidence is not conclusive, he can still use it to his advantage.
Everyone in the capital knows how much he loves his daughter. He even spent a lot of money to collect poems and paintings by famous scholars in order to please Shen Qingnian. Now that Shen Qingnian has been beaten unconscious, how can he not hate her!
Upon hearing what Shen Zheng said, Song Xuan's eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at Shen Qingnian, who was still unconscious on the embroidered bed, and stood up, saying, "Then please lead the way, Prime Minister Shen."
He could probably guess Shen Zheng's intentions.
The coral presented by Lin Yue'er at the last palace banquet was priceless, but Lin Minxin only became a vice minister in recent years and has a meager family fortune. I'm afraid even if he sold the Lin family mansion, he still wouldn't be able to afford that coral.
What Shen Zheng is about to show him is probably related to Lin Minxin.
The fact that Chen Zheng had been secretly collecting evidence against Lin Minxin in recent days was not deliberately kept from the royal family; he wanted Song Xuan to know about it.
After all, Lin Yue'er had targeted his precious daughter many times. How could Shen Zheng, a father who loved his daughter dearly, tolerate that?
Song Xuan and Shen Zheng went to the study.
Shen Zheng's study was decorated with many calligraphy and paintings by Shen Qingnian. On the desk was a small double-sided embroidery, one side embroidered with jasmine and the other with plum blossoms. It was very exquisite and not at all like something that a man over forty like Shen Zheng would like.
