Chapter 35 What's in the Soup
Wei Xun cannot die now. If he dies, Sang Mingyue will never be able to clear the charges and take back the Sang family cleanly.
Lu Wanning didn't want Sang Mingyue to follow the same path as in her previous life.
She cleaned and bandaged Wei Xun's wound with a calm look. The only thing she did was not to use any painkiller at all.
Wei Xun was so painful that he passed out.
After treating the wounds, the doorman escorted the two men out through the back door. However, as soon as they walked out of the Sang Mansion, rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs greeted them.
Fortunately, Hu Yan was very skilled and blocked them all.
"Bah, you're a piece of shit who only cares about money and not conscience. None of the quack doctors on the street would go to treat Wei Xun's injury, but you went anyway. You're really a ruthless person."
"That's right, this guy must be in cahoots with Wei Xun!"
"Whose clinic is this? They're just trying to make money without any conscience. No one should go to this clinic from now on."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanning quickly spoke up, "I'm from Huichun Hall. If you need anything, you can come find me at Huichun Hall."
"Hui Chun Tang?" A burly woman put her hands on her hips. "Bah! Why are we looking for you? We should go and destroy your Hui Chun Tang signboard."
The face beneath the veil was filled with smiles. Lu Wanning continued, "To be honest, it's not my choice to treat Wei Xun. I can only blame him for offering too much. Our boss couldn't resist the temptation. I'm just a doctor, how can I care about these things?"
Upon hearing this, a group of people immediately ran to Huichun Hall cursing and planning to stand at the door of Huichun Hall and curse loudly.
Lu Wanning took the opportunity to leave quickly with Hu Yan.
Walked far away and laughed out loud.
Hu Yan was a little confused, "Miss, aren't you afraid that the people in Huichun Hall will blame you?"
"Blame?" Lu Wanning shook her head. "If these people curse more fiercely, it would be best if that Qin guy quickly transferred the shop to me."
Her plan to take over Huichuntang has not been a short-term plan.
After walking a few steps, Hu Yan suddenly pulled her arm and dodged backwards, raising her chin towards the person in front, "Is that someone from the Third Madam's courtyard?"
Lu Wanning looked over and saw that the maidservant beside the Third Madam was whispering something to the doorman who had just escorted them out of the Sang Mansion.
The two of them hid aside again, and waited for the maid to finish talking to the doorman. She stuffed a silver ingot into the doorman's arms, then looked around and left in a hurry before coming out.
"It seems that I won't be needed for the next things in the Chen Mansion."
All she had to do was add fuel to the fire at the right time and then pull Chen Wenjian down with him.
…
Today's conversation with the prince caused some ripples in Qi Muchao's heart.
Now that the news of the emperor's illness has spread, all parties have begun to become restless, and those with ulterior motives have begun to stir.
The governor of Yanzhou was murdered, and a letter written in blood was delivered to the hands of the prince's staff and eventually reached the hands of the prince.
When Qi Muchao remembered the contents of the blood letter, a gloom suddenly fell over his heart.
They increased taxes, lent money at high interest rates, sold illegal salt, concealed iron mines, and secretly maintained an army.
The prince knew better than him what all these things meant, so he went to investigate in person.
But this trip is really dangerous, Qi Muchao has to provide support in the capital to slow down those who have evil intentions.
He returned to the palace at the second watch of the night.
Thinking that Lu Wanning must have gone to bed by now, after hesitating for a moment, Qi Muchao went to the study and planned to spend the night there.
However, not long after entering, the attendant announced that the maidservant accompanying the Crown Princess had arrived.
Thinking that Lu Wanning knew he was back and asked him to go back to the bedroom to rest, Qi Muchao pressed his eyebrows and let someone in.
The person who came was Luoluo.
Luoluo was holding a food box with nourishing soup in it.
Even at this late hour, her makeup was not only complete, but she also looked dressed up.
After all, she was specially selected by Mrs. Chen, so she is indeed quite pretty.
Qi Muchao frowned, "Is the Crown Prince's Consort asleep?"
"My lord, the princess went to bed early this morning." Luluo brought out the tonic soup with a smile on her face. "Since you haven't come back yet after all this, I made some tonic soup for you. Please try it."
Qi Mu raised his eyelids and looked at Luoluo slowly, picked up the soup and put it to his lips. He saw Luoluo's eyes suddenly lit up out of the corner of his eye, narrowed his eyes, hooked his finger at her, and made a gesture to come here.
Luoluo's eyes lit up and she immediately twisted her hips and moved towards him.
Little did he know that as soon as he walked over, Qi Muchao raised his hand and grabbed his neck.
I was already in a bad mood today, and was just worrying about having no place to vent my frustrations, when someone came looking for death.
"What's in the soup?"
Luoluo's eyes widened and her face flushed red. She wanted to deny it, but the big hand on her neck reminded her that Prince Qi really wanted to kill her.
Green Radish was frightened and said with all her might, "Yes, it's an aphrodisiac."
What a disgusting thing! Qi Muchao threw the man away.
Lu Wanning did go to bed early today. Qi Muchao had not come back yet. Although she didn't know where he had gone, Lu Wanning was not worried.
He's such a grown-up, not a child anymore, how could he be lost?
However, she was sleeping soundly and had a beautiful dream when she heard Hongling's panicked voice.
I thought the beautiful dream had turned into a nightmare, but when I woke up, the voice was still there. I opened the door impatiently and saw Hu Yan pressing Hong Ling to the ground with the sword in his hand against her neck.
Facing Hong Ling's panicked face, Lu Wan Ning frowned, "What are you making such a fuss about at this hour?"
"Crown Princess, please save Luoluo!"
"Green Radish?" Lu Wanning was suspicious. "What happened to her?"
"She offended the Crown Prince, and he wanted to kill her. Since this slave girl and Luluo have served the Crown Prince's Consort for so long, please save Luluo."
It would have been better if she hadn't said that. Lu Wanning had a blank expression on her face. "Why would she go and provoke the prince for no reason?"
"She, she just saw that the prince was a little tired and wanted to help him add some tea."
Lu Wanning was too lazy to roll her eyes and just added more tea. She thought that Luluo wanted to help Qi Muchao relax.
Would adding a pot of tea make Qi Muchao angry?
I don’t want to bother with Luoluo’s business. It would be best if Qi Muchao eliminated the two spies planted by the Chen family in her place.
She was about to go back to sleep when she suddenly looked at Hu Yan, "When did your prince come back?"
Hu Yan shook her head, still looking wooden, "I don't know."
After pausing for a moment, Lu Wanning put on some clothes and walked towards the study.
Hongling thought she was going to save Luoluo and couldn't wait to follow her.
However, when she arrived, there was no sign of Luoluo in the study except for a pool of blood and Qi Muchao sitting at the table reading.
Seeing her coming over, Qi Muzhao tilted his head and said in a light tone, "It's so late, don't you want to rest?"
