Chapter 382 Returning to Beijing Cannot Be Delayed
As soon as these words were spoken, a loud and angry roar was heard from downstairs.
Luo Yidao put his hands on his waist, looked up at the two people standing and talking, and shouted with full force: "Which eye of yours saw that my sister was interested in General Qiu?"
He snorted coldly and looked Eunuch De up and down. Seeing that Eunuch De had a fair complexion and no beard and looked wealthy, and even the clothes he was wearing were made of the finest material he had never seen before, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
He turned to look at Cheng Duan, who had caught up with him half a step later, and asked in a low voice, "Is this person from the palace?"
Cheng Duan looked at it carefully and nodded.
Not only did she come from the palace, but judging by the style of her clothes, she was also a person of status.
Thinking about the eunuch's weird and cunning words, Cheng Duan was afraid that Song Yanxi would be wronged, so he said directly: "My princess must be tired from the journey. If you have anything to ask, just ask me directly. I will tell you everything I know."
Eunuch De opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard Mo Jinchuan's voice from inside the room.
"Please ask General Cheng and the others to come up."
As for this "they", Eunuch De implicitly excludes Song Yanxi.
She thinks so too.
But before she could even take a step, Cheng Duan rushed up the stairs in two steps, and said as he walked into the house, "Princess, please follow me. I need your help with something."
Eunuch De's eyes widened in surprise. As soon as he said "What's the matter", Luo Yidao, who had followed him, pushed him aside with great force.
He lived a life of luxury on weekdays, and the most tiring work he had done was helping Emperor Xuande run errands and deliver rewards. In terms of physical strength, he was no match for the two strong men.
They didn't even have to do anything special, they just stood at the door with their arms folded and shoulders touching, blocking his way in on both sides.
No matter how hard he squeezed, he could only see their backs and the bulging muscles on their backs and arms.
Eunuch De was very angry, but he could only use his ears to listen to what was said inside through the two walls of people.
Mo Jinchuan dipped his fingers into the tea and wrote on the table, "Returning to Beijing cannot be delayed."
Looking at the unopened envelope he had placed aside, Song Yanxi walked forward and wrote on it with a dip of water: "How many days?"
Mo Jinchuan: "The sooner the better."
His urgency made Song Yanxi feel more and more that the vague feeling that had always existed in her heart was very likely to be true.
Princess Huayang's love for the prince is not as genuine as the rumors say.
However, it is normal that royal family members do not have sincerity, and it is not a rare thing.
She was just wondering who else was truly kind to Mo Jinchuan, the kind who was willing to repay his sincerity without any calculation.
The two door gods stood shoulder to shoulder, communicating with their eyes.
Luo Yidao: "Can they pull this off right under people's noses?"
Cheng Duan gave him a look that reassured him.
The prince and the princess are in charge, they just need to watch, they can't be wrong.
Listening to the anxious pacing at the door, Mo Jinchuan raised his hand to wipe away the water marks on the table and asked calmly, "General Cheng, what does it mean to be with me?"
Cheng Duan said hurriedly, "Isn't it that Princess Shihan? She treated patients for free, prescribed medicine, and provided hot porridge. But today's patient waited for her for two hours and she didn't come back."
"She should be in the General's Mansion right now, go and invite her."
"I invited her, but her courtyard door was tightly closed. People who went to invite her knocked on the door but didn't see anyone."
"Right now, there's a huge uproar going on at Huichun Hall. They're saying they want to see Princess Shihan no matter what. If they can't treat her, they're going to destroy the clinic."
"Ridiculous!" Song Yanxi's face turned cold, and she frowned and asked, "Aren't there two or three doctors in Huichun Hall? Isn't Elder Li here too?"
Cheng Duan said in frustration, "Don't mention it. When the epidemic broke out, those doctors suppressed Princess Shihan everywhere. Before the New Year, they left under the pretext of returning home to visit relatives and disappeared without a trace."
"Where's Mr. Li? Did he go back too?"
"That's not the case..." Cheng Duan looked hesitant, obviously not knowing how to start.
Luo Yidao muttered, "So nagging, it's not as good as a woman being straightforward."
Cheng Duan was so angry that he hit him on the shoulder and cursed, "You know nothing."
He glanced at Song Yanxi, then at Mo Jinchuan, and after a lot of hesitation, he finally said, "I heard it from someone on the street. It's hard to say whether it's true or not."
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
"Ah, to be honest, it's just Princess Shihan's one-sided story. She insisted that Master Li barged in when she was changing clothes in the clinic."
Cheng Duan started to get angry just by talking about it.
She couldn't help but curse, "Mr. Li has been in the army for many years. In terms of age, he can even be her grandfather. How could he do such a shameful thing?"
Song Yanxi frowned as she listened, thinking carefully about what he had just said, and asked, "If it's just one side of the story, why do others believe her and not Mr. Li?"
There must be something behind this.
Xu Xiao scratched his head and sighed, "I just heard something about it in the teahouse outside the post station. How could I know so much?"
"How about we go over and take a look?"
Song Yanxi and Mo Jinchuan looked at each other and nodded.
A voice sounded at an inopportune time.
"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
Eunuch De finally found an opportunity to squeeze in and said in a serious tone, "The prince's old injuries have not yet healed, and he needs to stay in the post station to recuperate."
The tough attitude doesn't sound like simple concern at all.
Mo Jinchuan raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes cold as he asked, "Where should I go now? Should I ask Eunuch De first?"
Eunuch De quickly apologized with a smile, "Your Highness, your words are too serious. How could this old servant dare to have such intentions? But before leaving, His Majesty instructed me to prioritize Your Highness's health."
Hearing this, Mo Jinchuan's expression turned even colder. "So, it was Father's will to restrict my freedom?"
Eunuch De suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He bit his tongue and then said, "Your Majesty is also worried about the prince. As a son, the prince should also sympathize with His Majesty's painstaking efforts."
"That's what you said."
Mo Jinchuan nodded and said thoughtfully, "In that case, you should find a bundle of hemp rope to tie my hands and feet, so that I won't run away and you won't be able to report to my father when you return to the capital."
His light words made Eunuch De break out in a cold sweat, and the furious face of Emperor Xuande appeared before his eyes.
How could he dare to kidnap someone and take him back?
Seeing that Eunuch De was standing still, Mo Jinchuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why, are you waiting for me to do it myself?"
"I dare not!"
"Bang!" Mo Jinchuan raised his sleeve and overturned the teacup on the table.
The sound of porcelain pieces breaking made Eunuch De's heart tremble even more.
Your Majesty is right. Once his fifth son gets angry, he is no less angry than he was back then.
Given His Majesty's love and respect for him, and his abilities being far superior to those of the other princes, the position of crown prince is very likely to fall upon him.
If they offended him badly today, considering the Mo family's past behavior, it would be difficult for them not to bear a grudge against them.
He's the most like his father, the Emperor. What if he also learns the old ways of settling scores?
The more Eunuch De thought about it, the colder the chill on his back grew. He quickly lifted his robe and knelt, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, please calm down."
