Chapter 537 This woman is as cunning as a fox
At the critical moment, Xiao Yuanshan grabbed Xiao Ziheng and single-handedly faced the two protectors without retreating an inch.
On the contrary, the two guardians were both terrified. They stood guard over Jiang Nuanzhi.
Dong Cang instantly stepped forward and exchanged several blows with Xiao Yuanshan, who struck again. Finally, he was struck by Xiao Yuanshan's palm and forced to retreat more than ten steps. He tapped his toes on a thick pillar in the hall and then leaped forward again.
Lord Xie's gun was pointed directly at the other side, and Judge Liu's knife was already drawn.
Outside, the Jingwei soldiers were poised to fire, waiting only for the order to engage in battle.
"Your Highness, won't you check on your son first?"
At the critical moment, Jiang Nuanzhi shouted loudly.
Xiao Yuanshan narrowed his eyes: "If any of you harm my son today, I will turn you all into medicinal pigs."
After saying that, he squinted, turned around, and squatted down to look at Xiao Zhiheng.
"Heng'er, is something the matter?"
Xiao Zhiheng's face was pale, but his eyes showed no fear whatsoever: "Father, kill her, kill this little bitch! She stole my mother's things, she deserves to die, she deserves to die!"
Xiao Yuanshan examined Xiao Zhiheng from head to toe before returning to his original appearance and coldly ordered, "Take the young master back and let him rest well."
"Father, I want to kill her with my own hands!"
Xiao Ziheng looked very dissatisfied, punching the guard's hand while shouting.
"Heng'er! Stop fooling around!" Li Mingyu frowned. "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up!"
The servants took Xiao Zhiheng away, and only then did Xiao Yuanshan turn around to face Jiang Nuanzhi and her entourage.
"Now, I, the King, will settle accounts with you properly."
He stared intently at Jiang Nuanzhi and the protectors behind her, then stepped forward on his own.
Grand Tutor Fang stood still, without retreating an inch.
"We had no intention of harming the young master, but he was the one who offended us first..."
"Fang Siming!" Xiao Yuanshan's face was now completely undisguised, and his eyes suddenly revealed murderous intent.
Grand Tutor Fang frowned slightly: "Since Your Highness insists, this old minister will accompany you."
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Xiao Yuanshan's lips.
The next second, Lord Zhang suddenly gripped his wrist tightly.
"Your Highness, please reconsider."
"Does the young master have some kind of illness?" Jiang Nuanzhi frowned, meeting Xiao Yuanshan's cool gaze, and said earnestly, "Your Highness should know this, right? Is he unable to sit still? He can't listen to what others say, his temperament is quite extreme, ruthless and cold-blooded, and he lacks empathy."
"Insolence!" Xiao Yuanshan's cold eyes shot straight at Jiang Nuanzhi.
“I’m here to examine you. My consultation fees are very high.” Jiang Nuanzhi said calmly, “Your Highness, please don’t be angry. Other doctors may not know how to treat the young master’s illness, but for me, it’s not a serious illness. I have expertise in heart diseases, and I can treat his condition.”
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Nuanzhi pointed to Princess Li Mingyu next to him and dropped another bombshell: "I can also cure her leg."
The woman's clear, melodious voice, like the gentle murmur of a spring stream, echoed in every corner of the hall.
Lord Zhang, standing behind Xiao Yuanshan, was startled. He looked towards Xiao Yuanshan in front of him. Seeing that the prince had withdrawn his hand and was squinting in thought, Lord Zhang also frowned.
Those around him knew perfectly well that Princess Li Mingyu's leg was the prince's unresolved issue.
Everyone knows that the Regent is a master of both medicine and poison. But they know very well who he studied medicine for.
It has to be said that this woman has the prince's life in her hands at this moment.
"Your Highness, do not be naive! This woman is as cunning as a fox; who knows if she is deceiving us!" Marquis Xie said coldly, "She is Li Rong's wife. Have you forgotten what happened back then? How could Li Rong's people sincerely treat the Princess and the Crown Prince? This is definitely Li Rong's scheme!"
“If Your Highness had any other way, you wouldn’t have waited until today, would you?” Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow: “I can cure it. If I were Your Highness, I would definitely risk trying it.”
Having said that, she looked at the Regent's wife: "What does Your Highness think? Have you ever considered standing shoulder to shoulder with the Prince again, instead of being pushed around like this?"
Although Li Mingyu was suppressing her emotions, her clenched fists and slightly trembling body indicated that she was not at peace.
In fact, she couldn't control herself for long before she subconsciously grabbed Xiao Yuanshan's sleeve, her eyes glistening with tears.
Xiao Yuanshan grasped Li Mingyu's hand in return, but did not respond, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow, her voice gentle and persuasive: "I am a person with great medical ethics. If Your Highness had inquired about me, you would know that I have treated countless patients, and most people have not called me, Jiang Nuanzhi, a quack doctor."
I've treated more than one patient like the princess...
Leaving aside others, let's talk about my son, Arong. Before he met me, His Highness must know very well the extent of his leg injury. In just three months, I was able to let him run and jump freely.
Even if the princess's condition is serious, is it more serious than A-Rong's?
As Jiang Nuanzhi spoke, she glanced at the two holding hands, her voice carrying a hint of seduction: "Does Your Highness not want to ride through the streets with Your Highness? Doesn't Your Highness want to sleep and go out together, watch the clouds rise and listen to the wind fall, and stroll hand in hand under the moon at night?"
And then there's the young prince. He's currently restless, but if we prescribe two medicines for him to take for a year, followed by some specific training, he can calm down and focus. In the future, even if he doesn't become the top scholar in the imperial examinations, he'll likely be able to manage the Regent's Palace without a doubt. If we wait another two years, and the prince's temperament settles down, then there will truly be no way to deal with him. But now, everything is still possible.
Wouldn't the prince and princess be living the happiest life then?
Upon hearing this, not only Xiao Yuanshan and his wife, but even Dongzang was taken aback. She had known before that the lady was adept at using persuasive words, but now she witnessed it firsthand. Not only Xiao Yuanshan and his wife, but even she herself couldn't help but want to agree.
In particular, what a temptation it would be for someone who has been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time.
She glanced at Li Mingyu instinctively, and sure enough, upon hearing the madam's words, her eyes blazed with a burning light, her fingers clenched so tightly they were almost bloodless. Her eyes were fixed on Jiang Nuanzhi. She even disregarded Xiao Yuanshan beside her, her voice trembling as she asked about the milk, "Can you really heal my leg? And my Heng'er?"
Jiang Nuanzhi calmly met her eyes, a smile on her face, and nodded firmly: "I know what Your Highness is thinking. If Your Highness does not believe me, you can let me try. Then you will know whether my words are true or false."
"How to treat it? How to cure it? How long will it take to cure me? When will I be able to stand up again?"
Li Mingyu nearly fell off her wheelchair due to the exertion, and Xiao Yuanshan beside her helped her to sit up. She had no time to care about anything else, and only stared at Jiang Nuanzhi, waiting for her reply.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at Xiao Yuanshan without showing any emotion. He was looking directly at Li Mingyu, his eyes filled with so much that Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't quite decipher, but she was certain it wasn't just affection and tenderness.
