After seeing his precious son, Marquis Wenchang came out with red eyes. Just as he was about to reach out and pull at the collar of Doctor Fan, he said, "If anything happens to my son..."
But before he could stretch out his hand, it was blocked by a scabbard. He turned around angrily and found that it was Jiang Siyuan.
He knew this person. He was the heir to the Supervisory Council who was only slightly lower than Lu Zhixing in the Dayan Dynasty. He could not afford to offend him at the moment. If his son wanted to save his life, he had to please this person.
So, Marquis Wenchang took a deep breath and retracted his hand. He stared at Doctor Fan fiercely, "Keep your eyes wide open for me! If my son loses even a hair, you'll be waiting!"
How could Doctor Fan be afraid of a mere marquis? He raised his eyes slightly and glanced up and down at the Marquis of Wenchang, then picked up his medicine box, took Maidong with him, and turned to leave.
You must be kidding! Do you think that if he wasn't helping Song Yushu complete his plan, he, a former head of the Imperial Hospital, would come to save a little beast?!
Marquis Wenchang hadn't expected Doctor Fan to react like this. He froze in his tracks for a moment before he exploded in anger. "Someone! Bring that old bastard back to me!"
"So the Marquis is so courageous that he wants to go to the Prince's Mansion to bring back old Doctor Fan?" Song Yushu, who had been standing aside watching the show, suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone.
The furious Wenchang Hou suddenly calmed down. He turned to look at Song Yushu, "Who do you say he is?"
"I think you are just fat, Lord Marquis, but not deaf, right?" Song Yushu stood behind Lu Zhixing, speaking sarcastically with a clear conscience.
If Lu Zhixing hadn't been there, Marquis Wenchang would have cut the damn eunuch into pieces and thrown him into the cesspool!
Marquis Wenchang stared at Song Yushu angrily for a long time, then turned around and wanted to go back into the house, but was stopped by Jiang Siyuan, "My Lord, you have already seen the prince, you cannot come in again."
"What did you say?" Marquis Wenchang looked at Jiang Siyuan in disbelief. "My son's life is hanging by a thread! I want to take him home!"
"It is the Emperor's wish to imprison the Crown Prince. Are you going to disobey his order?" Jiang Siyuan was not afraid at all. As the heir to the Supervisory Council, he basically had no one to fear except the Emperor.
Marquis Wenchang naturally did not dare to say that he would disobey the order. He turned his head to look at Lu Zhixing who was standing there indifferently, and finally, after being pulled by his confidant beside him, he gritted his teeth and left.
"Do you think they will fight each other?" Song Yushu looked at the back of Wenchang Hou as he left, and suddenly had a question. She was in such a hurry just now that she didn't have time to point out Wenchang Hou.
Lu Zhixing thought for a moment and said, "Yes, even if Wenchang Hou is stupid, the people around him are not stupid."
Lu Zhixing was right. Marquis Wenchang was sitting in the carriage, his hair standing on end with anger, while his confidants analyzed the situation for him.
"Unless the Emperor orders, no one can release the Crown Prince from prison. My Lord, please do not act rashly at this moment." A trace of consideration flashed in the confidant's eyes. "My Lord, there is something I'm not sure if I should say."
This confidant had always been with the Marquis of Wenchang, and he trusted him very much. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Just tell me what you want to say! What time is it now?"
The confidant leaned close to the ear of the Marquis of Wenchang and whispered, "In my opinion, the Crown Prince's danger must have been caused by Prince Yu."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Wenchang Hou opened his eyes wide and shouted softly.
As Lin Zong's brother-in-law, even if he is just a cousin's brother-in-law, he has already had countless connections with the Lin family, and it can even be said that one move affects the whole body.
The confidant was not afraid. He knew the Marquis of Wenchang very well. Even when his heart began to waver, he continued, "My Lord, only you and the Crown Prince know about Prince Yu's private mining. I just went to investigate and found out that the Crown Prince came to the Supervisory Office a few days ago, and the eunuchs around Prince Jing have also had secret talks with the Crown Prince."
"You mean that Prince Yu wanted to prevent the secret from being leaked..." Marquis Wenchang couldn't finish the rest of the sentence.
His son is important, and the future of Wenchang Marquisate is also important. As their lifeline, he still doesn't believe that Prince Yu can do such a cruel thing.
The confidant naturally knew the fear in the heart of Wenchang Hou, "My Lord, Prince Yu is not Uncle Lin."
Prince Yu is a very suspicious, heartless, petty and vindictive person. Once before, the prince accidentally said that Prince Jing is more valued in the Lin Mansion than Prince Yu.
Prince Yu had made things difficult for the Crown Prince many times. If it hadn't been for Lin Zong's mediation, this matter would not have been resolved so easily.
"Pa!" Marquis Wenchang slammed his palm on the seat, his face grim. "If this is truly what Prince Yu wants, I don't mind fighting to the death!"
He had originally been thinking about the wealth and glory of the Marquis's Mansion, but Prince Yu's behavior would inevitably lead to him being abandoned in the future. Even if he couldn't vent his anger for his son, he had to make it clear that he, the Marquis of Wenchang, was not someone to be bullied!
So when he arrived at the Lin Mansion and saw Lin Zong, he immediately took the initiative and said, "Lin Zong! I've been working like a slave for you, and this is how you do things?!"
Lin Zong thought that it was the Marquis of Wenchang who was making a fuss about his son's affairs. He did not get angry, but tried to appease him, "My Lord, if you have something to say, please talk it over nicely. Why do you have to do this?"
"What else can I say? My son is about to meet the King of Hell! Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent the imperial physician here, otherwise I would not be so easy to talk to!" Marquis Wenchang was still very angry.
He was suffering in that desolate southern land, while Prince Yu and Lin Zong were still enjoying their wealth and splendor in this prosperous capital, yet they actually wanted to kill his son!
Lin Zong had been calm and composed at first, but upon hearing the word "Crown Prince," he immediately looked at Wenchang Hou with a sharp gaze, "Crown Prince?"
"What is the Overwatch Council? It's the Crown Prince's territory, how could he not know that?" Marquis Wenchang snorted coldly, "Regardless of what the Crown Prince thinks, he saved my son's life! And you? You want my son's life!"
Marquis Wenchang was a playboy with many wives and concubines in his mansion. He would even abduct women from time to time. But perhaps it was retribution, as he had many daughters but only one son, whom he treated as precious as the apple of his eye.
Lin Zong naturally knew that the son of Marquis Wenchang was his life, and he also made many contacts. He was just about to report to the emperor, turning the incident of Marquis Wenchang secretly releasing arms dealers into an attempt to invade other countries.
He frowned, "What are you talking about? Why would I, the Minister, want to take your son's life?"
"Wasn't it my son who risked his life to smuggle the mined jade ore for you?" Marquis Wenchang snorted coldly. "Smuggling a vein of jade is a serious crime. How much risk did my father and I take for you? Now that something's happened, instead of saving him, you're thinking of killing him?!"
"What did you say?!" Lin Zong widened his eyes in disbelief.
