Princess Pingnan couldn't help but curse, "That little beast is so cunning!"
Yan Nan knew she was in a bad mood, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Princess Pingnan said coldly, "He is so seriously ill, as his legal mother, of course I have to care about him."
She took a deep breath and said, "Go and fetch the best doctor in Liefeng City. I want to give him a proper check-up!"
Yan Nan knew that she was truly angry this time, and that she was going to expose Ye Junfei's lies.
Soon the doctor arrived, and Princess Pingnan led the doctor to see Ye Junfei in a grand manner.
When she went in, she saw He Shen, who bowed to her and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Princess Pingnan gave He Shen a gentle look: "Are you settling in well with the Crown Prince's wife?"
She thought she looked gentle, but she had stayed up all night and the welts from the wasp stings hadn't healed yet.
Her gentle smile was terrifyingly menacing.
He Shen knew that Princess Pingnan was asking him to state whether she would still help her in the future.
If He Shen hadn't witnessed Lin Xiuyan's methods last night, he might have hesitated.
He is an honest man, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. No matter how you look at it, Lin Xiuyan and the others benefited from last night's events.
He also knew what Ye Junfei had done after returning to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.
He inexplicably felt that Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan's abilities far surpassed those of Ye Jingxian and the Princess Consort of Pingnan.
Even if we add the utterly biased Prince Pingnan, Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan might not necessarily lose.
Joining forces with Princess Pingnan now would be betraying her master, and Princess Pingnan already has many people under her command, so one more wouldn't make a difference.
If he can follow Lin Xiuyan now, and if they can really take over the Pingnan Prince's Mansion in the future, then he will be a meritorious official.
He lowered his head slightly and said, "The Crown Princess is gentle and kind, so there's nothing I find uncomfortable about it."
Princess Pingnan's smile froze on her face. She looked coldly at He Shen and said, "Is that so? Then I must congratulate you on finding a good master."
Seeing her expression, He Shen felt a chill run down his spine and lowered his head, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Princess Pingnan sneered and led her entourage in aggressively.
Lin Xiuyan had already heard the commotion inside the house. Seeing the scene, she smiled and said, "It is truly touching that the Princess Consort cares so much about the Crown Prince."
Princess Pingnan glanced at her and said, "I am the Crown Prince's legal mother. He is so seriously ill, so naturally I must take good care of him."
"These doctors are the best in Liefeng City. With them working together, they should be able to cure the young master's illness." (www.cascoo.net)
Lin Xiuyan said with a face full of emotion, "The Princess Consort did not sleep all night. Upon learning that the Prince was ill, she immediately summoned a doctor for him. On behalf of the Prince, I thank the Princess Consort."
Princess Pingnan was in a bad mood today and had no interest in engaging in witty banter. She directly instructed the doctor to take Ye Junfei's pulse.
Soon, the doctors had all taken the pulses of the princes and said to Princess Pingnan, "The prince's condition is very serious and requires careful treatment."
Princess Pingnan frowned slightly: "Is the Crown Prince's illness really that serious?"
Those doctors were unaware of the sordid affairs within the Prince's residence, and Princess Pingnan presented a gentle and magnanimous image to the outside world.
The doctors assumed she was genuinely concerned about Ye Junfei, and they said, "The young master's pulse is very weak; he must have overexerted himself before."
"I was frightened again last night, and my body couldn't handle it, so I developed a high fever. It's perfectly normal."
"Given the current condition of the young master, he should only rest and recuperate. We must not let him suffer any more."
Princess Pingnan clenched her fist beneath her sleeve.
She avoided the doctors at the Prince's residence because she was worried that the grand gathering had been bribed by Ye Junfei, which is why she sought out doctors from outside.
She randomly selected these doctors; if only one person had said this, she might have suspected something was wrong.
But now that several doctors have found the same pulse, it proves that Ye Junfei is indeed ill.
No, Ye Junfei is definitely not sick!
She felt that Ye Junfei was faking it, but she couldn't produce any evidence right now.
She feigned concern, wiping away her tears: "Xiu'er is actually so seriously ill!"
"My poor Xiu'er, you must not be hurt."
As she spoke, she took a needle that she had prepared in her sleeve and stabbed it fiercely at Ye Junfei.
Lin Xiuyan had been observing Princess Pingnan the whole time. Just as Princess Pingnan was about to stab Ye Junfei, she threw a flying knife.
She shook it while shouting, "Cockroach!"
Princess Pingnan was unable to dodge in time and was stabbed in the back of her hand by a flying knife, causing her to scream in pain.
Lin Xiuxiu completely ignored her and screamed as she jumped and stomped on the cockroach.
Princess Pingnan angrily rebuked, "Lin Xiuyan, what are you doing?"
"Didn't Your Highness see it?" Lin Xiuyan said in a horrified voice, "A huge cockroach just flew by... Ah!"
"Your Highness, why is your hand suddenly bleeding? Doctor, please bandage it quickly!"
After she finished speaking, she said with a concerned expression, "The Princess came to see the Prince, but she was accidentally injured. How can I bear to do this?"
Princess Pingnan was so angry that she nearly fell backward.
She was originally a master of palace intrigue and extremely adept at putting on airs.
But now that she's met Lin Xiuyan, she's discovered that Lin Xiuyan, despite her young age, is incredibly shameless!
She gritted her teeth and said, "This is where you stabbed me!"
Lin Xiuyan immediately said with tears in her eyes, "I accidentally injured the princess who came to visit the prince while I was pricking a cockroach!"
"I am a sinner, please punish me severely, Your Highness!"
Princess Consort of Pingnan: "..."
Lin Xiuyan volunteered to be punished, but in front of all the doctors, she couldn't punish Lin Xiuyan.
Because if she is punished, the kind and dignified image she has painstakingly cultivated will collapse.
Her facial muscles twitched, and she suppressed her displeasure, saying gently, "This can't be entirely your fault."
"It's just that it's not appropriate for you, as the Crown Princess, to act so rashly. You still need to work on your temper."
"I haven't been feeling well lately, so I really don't have the extra time to teach you."
"The princess is well-mannered and dignified. You will begin learning etiquette from her tomorrow!"
Lin Xiuyan was slightly surprised to hear this, but she quickly understood the Princess Consort of Pingnan's intention.
Princess Pingnan is trying to use these doctors to spread the word that Lin Xiuyan's etiquette was taught by Ye Qingwan.
If Lin Xiuyan makes a mistake in etiquette during the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, it's because Ye Qingwan didn't teach her well.
In this way, Princess Pingnan would have a valid reason to punish either Ye Qingwan or Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan felt that the Princess Consort of Pingnan truly deserved the title of a master of domestic intrigue; this arrangement was brilliant.
And she couldn't refuse this offer.
She sniffed lightly and said, "Yes, I will listen to the Princess."
Princess Pingnan felt a little better when she saw her aggrieved look.
She had the doctor bandage her wound, and then asked Yan Nan to send the doctors out first.
As she left, she gave Lin Xiuyan a cold look and said, "You can't escape my grasp."
