Chapter 1046 Give Up
The prince was silent for a moment and then asked, "Do you remember how you fell off your horse?"
"Of course I remember, that guy attacked me from behind!" Although he couldn't remember what happened afterwards because it was too confusing, he still remembered being hit by Du Yu with a polo bat.
The prince coughed lightly and said, "Your horse was injured. It got a cut on its belly, and that's why it went crazy."
Su Jian was stunned for a moment, and his memory finally came back a little. "I was just about to climb back onto the horse's back, when it suddenly gave up its hooves? Who plotted against my horse?"
The prince looked at his broken foot and said, "Your foot has a nail embedded in the bottom of your boot."
Su Jian was stunned for a moment before his face turned pale. "Someone plotted against you? Who did it? Your third son?"
Old Madam Su couldn't help but coughed violently, and Su Jian immediately stopped talking. Only then did he realize that there seemed to be too many people in the room.
The Crown Prince also reached out and patted his hand, saying, "Just rest and recuperate. Leave these matters to us. Father has already ordered Minister Feng to investigate."
Su Jian murmured, "It actually alarmed Minister Feng, that's not..."
Then will the things they did in their confrontation with the Third Prince also be discovered?
He kept winking at the prince.
The prince didn't seem to care much and waved his hand, saying, "You should take good care of your injuries. The Queen Mother's birthday is next month, so you have to go to the palace, right?"
Madam Su nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you are seriously injured this time, you must take good care of yourself."
Su Jian agreed and said to the prince, "Your Highness, tell my younger sister that I'm fine and tell her not to worry."
The prince responded, stood up and left, giving him time to rest.
Old Madam Su also stood up and took her people out. The Third Madam hesitated for a moment and did not leave.
Manbao and Doctor Zheng then rolled up their sleeves and prepared to give him a thorough examination.
Manbao said to the servant, "Bring two basins of warm water and one basin of boiling water."
The servant agreed, quickly brought people up to bring water, then bowed and left.
Manbao washed his hands and undressed him.
Su Jian widened his eyes and looked at Manbao's face for a long time, but he still couldn't remember who she was. The main reason was that she didn't look like a girl at all.
He felt a little uncomfortable, but couldn't move, so he asked, "You, who are you?"
The third wife hurriedly explained: "Husband, she is a doctor, she is treating you."
"No, I already have the imperial physician here, why do I need a little girl to treat me?"
Although he is a grown man, it would be awkward for him to be looked at by a female doctor, okay?
Manbao had already undressed him and untied the bandages on his stomach. After a careful examination, he said to Doctor Zheng, "There's still some bleeding. Let's clean it up and apply new medicine."
Doctor Zheng also looked at the wound carefully and agreed.
After discussing the medicine to be applied, Manbao soaked a white cloth and gently wiped his wound, saying, "Don't be shy. Yesterday I looked through all your internal organs. I saw everything I should and shouldn't have seen."
Su Jian's face turned pale.
The third wife quickly held his hand and comforted him.
Manbao was dealing with Su Jian in the house, while Bai Shan outside was listening to a lot of gossip.
There was no way, he did not hide his presence at all, and just sat on the stone bench and wrote something honestly. As a result, the Duke of Pi who came and the Crown Prince Su's wife who just came out of the house pretended not to see him, and stood not far away from him to discuss things.
For example, how to deal with this matter with the Du family.
Who was behind this incident? Was it the Third Prince, or someone else they don't know?
How does the emperor feel about this matter? The most important thing is, what did the prince and others do to the third prince in the past few days? If Minister Feng investigates, will he be able to find out those things?
What to do after finding out.
What should I do?
The prince was not worried at all. He sneered and said, "Even if I find someone to impeach him and have his people taken down, what can he do? Duke, just go and find the people who harmed Sanlang. Don't worry about this matter."
Seeing him being so snarky, the Duke of Pi couldn't help but say earnestly, "Your Highness, His Majesty and His Majesty have high hopes for you. The Third Prince is your brother. Even if you're dissatisfied in your heart, don't show it on your face."
The prince was furious. "I treated him as my brother, but did he treat me as his brother? I finally had a child, but..."
"He wants to be the crown prince. He told me that. He wants to snatch it from me. He wants to kill my offspring. How dare he kill my offspring..."
Bai Shan saw the prince's face flushed red, his eyes nearly bulging, and he was pacing in circles in frustration. Duke Pi tried to appease him, but the prince waved his sleeves to fend him off, angrily saying, "There's no turning back on this matter. I don't care who's behind this, but he was the one who aborted the child, and he's not at fault at all!"
The prince's voice was choked with sobs. With red eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "My dear brother, my dear brother, this may be my only child..."
If someone else had dropped it, he might not have hated it so much!
Duke Pi and Old Madam Su both fell silent.
Although the child was not in their daughter's belly, they had been looking forward to it for a long time. As long as the child was born, the Crown Princess could hold him and raise him by her side. A son would be best, but a daughter would not be bad either, as it would be a child after all.
But despite their caution, someone still took advantage of them.
Both old men sighed.
The prince turned away.
The old Duke and his wife looked at each other for a long time, and finally sighed softly. They were about to leave together, but when they turned around, they found Bai Shan sitting on a stone bench, holding a pen and looking at them innocently.
Duke Pi and his wife: ...Is it too late to clear the area now?
Of course it was too late, but the two of them thought about it and realized that what they had just said was both confidential and not confidential.
Because the final title of Shangshu will most likely be discovered, it doesn't seem to matter much whether it is concealed or not.
So the two of them nodded to Bai Shan, and left together.
Bai Shan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said to Man Bao, who had just finished treating the injured, "I think this path for the Crown Prince is going to fail."
Manbao asked, "Why?"
Bai Shan didn't answer at the time, and only said it after returning home: "The prince gave up the throne from the bottom of his heart. He gave it up first, so naturally he can't win the fight."
"Does that mean the Third Prince is going to win?" Man Bao asked, "Is it too late for us to go over and fight the Third Prince now?"
Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, "If the child of the Crown Prince's concubine was indeed aborted by the Third Prince, I don't think the Emperor would favor the Third Prince. We want to seek justice, not participate in the fight for the throne."
Manbao thought so too and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Bai Shan said, "I think it's much easier to make your name known than mine right now. Come, give me ten taels of silver."
Manbao covered his pocket and asked, "What are you doing?"
Bai Shan: "...It will be your capital for fame. Don't worry, when you become a famous doctor in the capital, you will earn the money back soon. Think about how much the Su family gave you last night."
The next update will be around 8pm
