Chapter 536 What if I say no?
"No, does she think that if she shouts like that, someone will come to save her?"
Jiang Nuanzhi's howling left Lord Xie and the others speechless.
Lord Zhang, standing beside him, lowered his eyes and stared blankly for a while. This most eloquent and eloquent official in the court was speechless for quite some time.
Lord Xie also found it boring, so he went to Qin Lin and leaned against the cage: "General Qin, Li Rong married a woman who is only beautiful and has no medical skills. Don't you really want to laugh at him?"
Qin Lin stared at Jiang Nuanzhi with concern. After hearing her words, he pursed his lips and said, "My lord, you should mind your own business."
After holding back for a while, he couldn't help but say, "Furthermore, our lady has many virtues. Just look at her courage, which is beyond the reach of ordinary women. At least she won't be scared out of her wits by a name."
Clearly, Qin Lin was practically pointing his finger at Lord Xie and saying, "Your princess is far inferior to our lady."
Lord Xie choked, his gaze darting back and forth between Jiang Nuanzhi and the Princess several times. Courage?
The princess didn't seem to have it.
appearance
Enough, this comparison is so unfair. How old is Jiang Shi now?
When the princess is this age, she must have been just as stunningly beautiful as she is.
medical skills
This is something only country women learn; why would a princess need to learn this?
Putting all that aside, in terms of knitting and embroidery, the six arts of a gentleman, she certainly doesn't compare to the lady, does she?
However, when the two of them were together, Lord Xie felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if the prince was actually somewhat inferior to him, Li Rong.
He squinted unhappily, pondering where to stab Qin Lin to curb his arrogance.
The next second, his ears twitched, and his face suddenly changed color.
"Your Highness!"
As Jiang Nuanzhi let out those two howls, the sound of footsteps on the ground outside grew closer and closer.
Xiao Yuanshan obviously noticed it too, and squinted as he looked out of the hall.
A dark, oppressive mass loomed towards the main hall of the Prince's Palace.
The guards who had been lying in ambush in the Regent's Palace aimed their longbows at the crowd again just as they had brought them down.
A middle-aged man in military uniform, who was over fifty years old, walked in with a leisurely stride. A step behind him was Commander Liu, the commander of the Imperial Guards.
Xiao Yuanshan narrowed his eyes, looking at the hostile crowd, and finally his gaze fell on the old man in military uniform: "Grand Tutor Fang, what is the meaning of this? Why have you led troops to surround my Regent's Mansion?"
The Grand Tutor Fang, with his graying temples, entered the room and his gaze swept over everyone's faces before finally settling on Jiang Nuanzhi.
Jiang Nuanzhi, naturally, was quick to act, and immediately stood behind Grand Tutor Fang with the two old men in black beside her and Dongzang.
Grand Tutor Fang was taken aback by Jiang Nuanzhi's youth, then clasped his hands in greeting to Regent Xiao Yuanshan, who was seated above him: "Greetings, Your Highness. Physician Jiang's most important task right now is to treat the Emperor; her safety is crucial to His Majesty's health. Your Highness, what are you doing with all those knives and swords?"
Xiao Yuanshan raised an eyebrow: "Grand Tutor, are you here to question the Emperor?"
Grand Tutor Fang frowned: "His Majesty is a rare and benevolent ruler, and naturally he will not punish innocent people."
Xiao Yuanshan's smile deepened, his eyes fixed on Grand Tutor Fang's face.
Grand Tutor Fang, however, did not yield an inch, standing in front to confront Xiao Yuanshan.
Lord Xie and Lord Zhang were also standing next to Xiao Yuanshan. The guards lying in ambush in the mansion were drawing their bows tighter and tighter.
Behind Grand Tutor Fang were Commander Liu, two protectors, and Dongzang, followed by the palace guards. The guards had already raised their shields, and the archers were ready.
You could almost hear people breathing all around.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced around and saw that the Emperor had brought a large, dark mass of people, clearly surrounding the Regent's Palace completely. Even looking out from the main hall, you couldn't see their heads.
Jiang Nuanzhi knew the Emperor would protect her, and she also knew he cared about her illness, but she didn't expect him to care so much that he would directly surround the Regent's Palace? Had he completely broken off relations?
As it turns out, Regent Xiao Yuanshan is just a person with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. No matter how fearsome he is, he's still just a human being.
If you think he has immense power, then he does; but if you don't believe that, then think about it carefully, aren't they just a group of patients seeking treatment from you?
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at the Regent's wife sitting in a wheelchair again and touched her chin—speaking of which, before these people get better, can I just walk around the capital with my head held high?
Wait, something's not right, is it?
How did the Emperor and his entourage enter the Regent's Palace as if no one else was there?
Could it be that Xiao Yuanshan has some other tricks up his sleeve?
Or perhaps Xiao Yuanshan was overconfident, thinking he had everything laid out, the door wide open, just waiting for A Rong to arrive? Little did he expect that Lord Fang and his group would benefit from this?
"Ha, good! Good, good! I didn't expect this coward to actually stand up for himself this time."
Xiao Yuanshan's smile remained unchanged. His gaze swept over the Jingwei team in front of him as if they were ants. He glanced at Ya'an casually, then looked at Grand Tutor Fang: "Grand Tutor Fang, what are you doing? I'm just inviting Physician Jiang to come and treat you."
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Fang lowered his head and clasped his hands in greeting: "There are many people here, which has disturbed Your Highness. I apologize to Your Highness. We are only here to escort Physician Jiang back to the palace. I hope Your Highness will grant us this favor."
Xiao Yuanshan looked over with cool eyes, then suddenly sneered: "What if I say no?"
Grand Tutor Fang clearly knew that the Regent Prince wouldn't be so easy to talk to, but he continued, "His Majesty is unwell, and Jiang Nuanzhi is going to the palace to examine him. Your Highness, please do me a favor and don't make things difficult for this old minister."
"What if I can't do that?" Xiao Yuanshan laughed. "As I said, she came to the manor for a medical consultation."
Grand Tutor Fang frowned slightly: "What does Your Highness mean by this? Is this an open attempt to snatch someone from the Emperor?"
"I wouldn't dare," Xiao Yuanshan laughed. "It's just that Physician Jiang stayed by His Majesty's side all day. Since His Majesty let the person go back today, he must be alright. Now that Physician Jiang has come to my residence, His Majesty must be considerate of me as his uncle. Surely he wouldn't just take the person away without even examining him?"
Lord Zhang also laughed, saying kindly, "Grand Tutor Fang's words sound like they were said on purpose, as if the Emperor didn't want the Prince to recover from his illness at all. In fact, the Emperor was concerned about the Prince's health before, and wanted the Prince to take good care of himself so that he could serve my Great Jing. Aren't you slapping the Emperor in the face by acting like this now?"
“I had no such intention,” said Grand Tutor Fang. “Your Highness should know very well how you are feeling now.”
The two were locked in a stalemate once again.
Just then, a sudden change occurred. In a flash, a child about the same age as Ping'er darted forward and brandished a dagger at Jiang Nuanzhi.
At the last second, Jiang Nuanzhi dodged sharply, the blade grazing her skin in the blink of an eye. A shiver ran through her.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you, you slut!"
The child in front of him missed with his first strike, so he swung again. The excitement in his eyes grew even stronger.
The old man in black behind her narrowed his eyes, stood protectively in front of Jiang Nuanzhi, and struck out with a palm.
"Heng'er!"
Xiao Yuanshan's eyes narrowed sharply, and he immediately rushed forward as well.
I've recovered 80% of my health, I'll give you guys an extra chapter tomorrow!
