Ye Junfei was not surprised at all when he heard this. If the Prince of Pingnan didn't cause him trouble at this time, he wouldn't be the Prince of Pingnan.
Just because the Prince of Pingnan wants to see him, does that mean he has to go see the Prince of Pingnan?
He felt that the Prince of Pingnan was not that important to him yet.
He immediately leaned against Lin Xiuyan and said weakly, "I was already seriously injured, but I forced myself to speak out for the people this afternoon."
"I'm so tired right now, my wounds are about to reopen, I really can't hold on any longer."
"If my father has something urgent to discuss with me, I would be grateful if he could come in person."
Wu Ge, quick-witted, immediately helped him up: "Your Highness, I'll send someone to fetch a doctor for you right now."
After he finished speaking, he and Lin Xiuyan helped Ye Junfei walk away, one on each side, leaving the servant who came to announce their arrival dumbfounded.
Even if Ye Junfei is not favored, his status is still there, not to mention that he broke Ye Jingxian's leg just two days ago.
The servant dared not stop him, scratched his head in great distress, and truthfully reported to the Prince of Pingnan.
The Prince of Pingnan was furious when he heard the servant's words. Since he couldn't scold Ye Junfei, he gave the servant a good scolding instead.
The chief secretary advised from the side, "Your Highness, the young master is indeed injured. Please don't take it to heart."
The Prince of Pingnan looked coldly at the Chief Secretary and said, "How much benefit has he given you that you speak up for him like this?"
The chief secretary paused for a moment, and the Prince of Pingnan continued, "If he were really seriously injured, he wouldn't be able to attend the ceremony today, let alone interrogate the patrol guards on the way."
"His failure to come at this time is clearly a sign that he is going against me!"
“He is not yet the Prince of Pingnan, and you are already so eager to please him. You are disappointing me greatly.”
Upon hearing the words of the Prince of Pingnan, the Chief Secretary sighed inwardly, letting out a long sigh.
He knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he simply said nothing and let the Prince of Pingnan scold him.
Before the Prince of Pingnan could finish his rant, the gatekeeper came in and said, "Your Highness, there is someone outside who claims to be the Sage of Medicine and wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Pingnan forgot all about scolding the chief clerk and immediately said, "Quickly, invite the person in."
Just as the servant was about to go and fetch someone, the Prince of Pingnan said again, "I will go see him myself."
After he finished speaking, he strode to the gatehouse of the Prince's mansion. The Sage of Medicine turned around and looked at him. Their eyes met, and he saw the mockery in the Sage of Medicine's eyes.
The two had known each other for many years and had even quarreled when they were young. Now that they met again, their feelings were somewhat complicated.
The medical sage gave a mocking smile, his words utterly blunt: "Many years have passed, and Your Highness is no longer the man of your former glory."
"If you had met Yiyi looking like this back then, she probably wouldn't have fallen for you, and she wouldn't have died so tragically."
If the Prince of Pingnan hadn't been forced into it, he wouldn't have wanted to see the Sage of Medicine.
However, he needed the help of the medical sage at this moment, so he could only suppress his anger and say calmly, "Childbirth is a woman's life, and it is like walking through the gates of hell."
"If she had been a little more mild-mannered back then and hadn't been angry every day, then that kind of thing probably wouldn't have happened."
When the Sage of Medicine heard that the Prince of Pingnan showed no remorse for the death of the former Princess of Pingnan, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
He said calmly, "You're absolutely right. That applies to Ye Jingxian as well."
"If he hadn't been courting death, his leg wouldn't have been broken. Since that's the case, what's the point of treating it? Let him just limp!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and left. The Prince of Pingnan knew that if he left like this, Ye Jingxian would probably really be crippled, so he quickly ordered someone to stop him.
The guards who were blocking the way of the Sage of Medicine collapsed to the ground before they could even get close to him.
The Prince of Pingnan could only say, "I was also very saddened when Yiyi had her accident back then."
"But she has been gone for many years, while I am still alive. I must look forward."
The medical sage felt that he had no sincerity at all after hearing his words, and strode forward.
The Prince of Pingnan took a deep breath and said, "She left you some things back then, don't you want to take a look?"
The Sage of Medicine stopped and looked at the Prince of Pingnan. His expression was somewhat complicated: "As long as you heal Xian'er's leg, I will give you all those things."
The Medical Sage sneered: "There's something Your Highness might not understand yet, let me remind you again."
"Right now, you're the one asking me for help, not the other way around. When you're asking for help, you should act like one."
The Prince of Pingnan's expression changed, and he forced a smile, saying, "As long as you can cure Xian'er's leg, I will reward you handsomely."
The Sage of Medicine, seeing the fake smile on the Prince of Pingnan's face, knew that the Prince of Pingnan was asking him to treat Ye Jingxian.
As he thought about how Ye Junfei had been all alone in the capital all these years, and how the Prince of Pingnan had never inquired about her, a chill ran through him.
He desperately wanted to turn around and leave, but he forced himself to hold back.
He looked at the Prince of Pingnan and said, "Five conditions. The first is that Lady Hu kneels before Yiyi's grave and kowtows to apologize."
The Prince of Pingnan's expression changed slightly: "The Hu family has not done anything wrong..."
The Sage of Medicine turned and left, leaving the Prince of Pingnan with no choice but to say, "Fine, as you wish!"
The Sage of Medicine stopped in his tracks: "The second condition is that you kneel before Yiyi's grave and kowtow to apologize."
The Prince of Pingnan's face grew even uglier: "I have never done anything to wrong her; it's just that she's too jealous..."
The Sage of Medicine walked even faster, and the Prince of Pingnan gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you."
Hearing this, the Sage of Medicine felt even more mocked and said coldly, "My third condition is that I want all of Yiyi's belongings left in the Prince's mansion."
The Prince of Pingnan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's no problem."
The Sage of Medicine continued, "The fourth condition is a consultation fee of 100,000 taels."
The muscles on the Prince of Pingnan's face twitched. How dare he make such an outrageous demand!
Knowing the Sage of Medicine's temperament, he could only grit his teeth and accept: "Alright, what is the fifth condition?"
The Sage of Medicine glanced at him sideways and said, "I haven't thought of the fifth condition yet. I'll tell Your Highness when I have."
Prince Pingnan: "..."
He had a bad feeling; this fifth condition was probably very harsh.
But now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to agree.
He took a deep breath and said, "I will take you to Xian'er's residence."
The Sage of Medicine said calmly, "Wait a moment. I heard that the young master is seriously injured. I'll go see him first."
Prince Pingnan: "..."
He asked the Sage of Medicine to treat Ye Jingxian's illness. The Sage of Medicine made a bunch of demands, but when he entered the palace, he went to treat Ye Junfei's illness first.
The medical sage is really showing too much discrimination!
The medical sage seemed to know what he was thinking and said calmly, "I will not charge any fees for treating Yiyi's son."
"I will treat your son's illness only when you meet the four conditions I mentioned earlier."
Prince Pingnan: "..."
He took another deep breath and said, "Xian'er's leg has been broken for a few days. If it's not treated soon, it might have an impact."
"What does this have to do with me?" The Sage of Medicine looked at the Prince of Pingnan and said, "He is your son, not my son."
Prince Pingnan: "..."
