Chapter 185 Conflict
Princess Cheng suddenly fainted, and the main courtyard was in chaos. When Prince Cheng and Doctor Sun hurried over, they saw Rong Yue lying pale on the bed with her eyes closed, unconscious. Nanny Jiang, who always served Princess Cheng, was at a loss.
"Mother Yue."
Prince Cheng hurriedly wanted to step forward, but before he got close to the bed, he was stopped by a maid who looked unfamiliar to him.
"What are you doing?"
Prince Cheng had only met Ayane once. That day, Prince Cheng's mansion was in chaos. He was completely focused on Princess Cheng and Song Tangning. In addition, the Black Armored Guards broke in later, so he had never paid any attention to Ayane who had fought with others that day.
He didn't recognize the person in front of him, he just frowned and said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way!"
Ayane, however, stood aside in front of King Cheng who was trying to get around her: "Your servant Ayane, I am here to protect the princess by the lady's order."
"The princess and the prince have not reconciled, and she has also said that the prince is not allowed to set foot in the main courtyard. Since the prince loves the princess, he should respect her wishes. Please leave first so that the imperial physician can treat the princess."
Upon hearing this, Prince Cheng's face suddenly darkened. "Yue Niang fainted for some reason, and you still have time to tell me this? Song Tangning is just a junior. What right does she have to interfere in the affairs of her elders? Besides, this is Prince Cheng's residence, and she has no say."
"Get out of here!"
When Prince Cheng heard that it was someone sent by Tang Ning, and that someone dared to stop him in public, he was filled with anger and stretched out his hand to push Ayane away, but he didn't expect that the slender and powerless woman was standing there motionless.
He pushed twice but there was no response. He was immediately filled with shame and anger. When he waved his hand to hit Ayane, his wrist was grabbed.
King Cheng cried out in pain: "What are you doing? Let me go..."
"The princess is not in good health, yet the prince still wants to fight with me. It seems that the prince has never loved the princess that much."
Ayane looked at Prince Cheng, whose face was pale with pain, and the Imperial Physician Sun and the servants of Prince Cheng's mansion who followed in, all with faces full of astonishment. She waved her hand, and Prince Cheng staggered backwards.
When he stood firmly, King Cheng felt excruciating pain in his hand bones and his wrists were red and swollen.
"Your Highness!" The old steward of Prince Cheng's mansion supported Prince Cheng and turned around and shouted angrily, "How dare you attack my Prince?!"
"Wasn't it the prince who attacked this servant first?"
"You are a lowly slave..."
Snap——
Without Ayane making any big movement, the old butler was slapped in the face. When Ayane retreated to her original position, her expression was cold.
"I am from Jiyun Lane. My life, death, honor, and disgrace are decided by my master. Before the princess fainted, she said that I am the master of this courtyard. Until the princess wakes up, no one except the imperial physician is allowed to set foot here."
Prince Cheng looked at the woman standing in front of the bed with a murderous look on her face. The old housekeeper beside her was covering his mouth with blood between his fingers.
He suddenly recognized her and exclaimed, "It's you!"
A moment later he became angry again:
"Are you Xiao Yan's man?!"
Ling Yin did not respond to King Cheng's words, but said coldly: "The princess needs to rest. You two, send King Cheng out."
Two girls who looked like maids came forward with cold faces, while the other one retreated to Ayane's side. They were obviously just a few women, but the murderous intent shrouding them made everyone realize that they were probably not just ordinary maids.
These people have seen blood and even have lives on their hands.
If they dare to come forward, they will take action.
The atmosphere in the room was heavy and solemn, and Prince Cheng's expression kept changing. Seeing the conflict between the two sides, Nanny Jiang couldn't help but whisper, "Miss Lingyin, the prince is also worried about the princess..."
"Madam Jiang!"
Ling Yin suddenly interrupted Nanny Jiang's words, and when she looked up at her, her eyes were already cold and stern: "The girl said that apart from the princess, the servants will be the main ones on this trip."
Her gaze made Nanny Jiang's scalp tingle, and her voice suddenly cut off. Seeing that she had calmed down, Lingyin looked up and said, "If the prince was really worried about the princess, he should have left earlier so that Imperial Physician Sun could treat her instead of constantly pestering me. Or does the prince simply not want to see the princess well?"
“Nonsense!”
Prince Cheng looked at Nanny Jiang who was "suppressed" by Ayane, and saw that her face was pale and she didn't dare to refute Ayane at all. His heart suddenly jumped.
Nanny Jiang is the person Rong Yue relies on and trusts the most. Even if the people were sent by Song Tangning and Xiao Yan, they would never scold Nanny Jiang in such a strong manner without a reason.
And she said that she was the main thing. What was the main thing? Was it to deal with her, or to protect Rong Yue? Nanny Jiang's expression was obviously not right...
Prince Cheng's heart, which was originally irritated by Ayane's attitude, instantly cooled down, and the sudden uneasiness made him subconsciously clench his fists.
Rong Yue suddenly returned home. He originally thought that she was soft-hearted and wanted to make peace with him, and hoped that the two of them could be back to normal. However, Rong Yue was accompanied by such a strong and powerful female maid, which made him even more wary of him. He recalled her expression and behavior after seeing Rong Yue today.
He said submissively, "Don't talk nonsense. I was just anxious for a moment and worried about Yue Niang, so I lost my composure. Since you don't trust me, then I will wait outside."
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness."
Ayane's reaction, despite the subtle probing, made him feel even more depressed.
Prince Cheng subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Nanny Jiang, but saw that she looked uneasy, and his heart became more nervous.
This time, Prince Cheng did not insist on pursuing the matter. He only gave Doctor Sun a few instructions, looked at Princess Cheng lying on the bed with deep affection, and then turned and left.
"You two, guard the outer room."
"yes."
The two maid-like guards retreated and stood guard at the door. Ayane then turned to the stunned Imperial Physician Sun and said, "Please, Imperial Physician Sun, treat the princess."
Doctor Sun had seen the struggles in the rear houses of the rich and powerful, and had also seen those dirty and vile things, but this was the first time he had seen something like what happened between Princess Cheng and Prince Cheng.
Doctor Sun was deeply shocked by Ling Yin's unrestrained and cold treatment of Prince Cheng just now. Moreover, if he had heard correctly, the woman in front of him was from Jiyun Lane. How could the affairs of Prince Cheng's mansion involve Governor Xiao...
Doctor Sun had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he hurried forward.
Princess Cheng was already weak and her pregnancy was unstable. She had been relying on Lady Qin's medicine to keep her healthy during this period. Although she was pretending to be fainted, her physical weakness was real. The weakness shown in her pulse also surprised Doctor Sun.
"This..." Doctor Sun looked up: "The princess's child..."
"The princess has been unstable since she became pregnant. It was Madam Qin who used acupuncture and medicine to keep her pregnant."
Doctor Sun suddenly understood what he said: "No wonder."
Princess Cheng's pulse was indeed not good, and her pregnancy looked extremely bad, but there seemed to be a vitality in her body that was keeping the child safe.
But judging by her pulse alone, Princess Cheng seemed to be suffering from depression, with poor blood circulation, and...
Imperial Physician Sun couldn't help but look down at Princess Cheng, who had her eyes tightly closed. She didn't look like she was fainting.
