Chapter 25 Beauty Trap 3 Sure enough, I have a fever.
"Go and call Duan Zhenghong over." Zhu Song ordered the guards as soon as he came out of the prison.
When Zhu Song returned to the lobby, Duan Zhenghong was already waiting there. His breathing was a little rapid, his eyes were dark, his lips were pale, and he looked frivolous, as if he had indulged in excessive sexual activities.
Seeing Zhu Song coming in, Duan Zhenghong stood up and called out, "Master Zhu."
Zhu Song nodded at him, took a seat at the head, and said directly, "The weather has cleared up. Lord Zhang has observed the astronomical phenomena and the rain disaster has passed. It's time for the people to return home."
Duan Zhenghong felt bad, but he still responded, "Yes, the shop owners in the city also came to me and said they couldn't hold on any longer."
Zhu Song said, "The remaining 50,000 taels in the account have been completely spent these days. Has Lord Duan recovered the 150,000 taels of disaster relief funds?"
Duan Zhenghong replied calmly, "Master Yi has always been in charge of this matter. I was not aware of it."
"Yi Kangning was imprisoned for his crime and is now under severe interrogation." Zhu Song paused when he said this. Duan Zhenghong didn't know that Yi Kangning had been arrested. He was shocked when he heard the news.
"Lord Yi is a high-ranking official. Lord Zhu, even though he is an imperial envoy, how can he arrest people at will? This is a gross disregard for the law."
"Master Duan," Zhu Song raised his voice and stood up. "Yi Kangning is guilty of corruption and abuse of power. The evidence is irrefutable. Not to mention that his imprisonment of the Crown Prince is a serious crime of treason. And you dare speak up for him?"
"Prince?"
Duan Zhenghong was stunned for a moment, then a figure flashed through his mind. After all, the Crown Prince was known for his beauty. Could it be him? He was actually the Crown Prince?
Zhu Song said, "Whether Lord Duan was involved in this matter remains to be investigated. If he was, his official hat will have to be replaced by someone else."
Duan Zhenghong quickly said, "I have no knowledge of this matter. Even if I were given a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to imprison the prince."
Zhu Song smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Lord Duan. The Crown Prince hasn't said anything yet. He's just worried about the people. Seeing that they can't return home for a long time, he's inevitably in a bad mood. The Crown Prince is kind and kind, so he didn't blame anyone for not knowing. If the Crown Prince's bad mood persists, if we really investigate, it will be a serious crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of his family."
Although Duan Zhenghong was indeed unaware of the situation, the prince had been imprisoned in the governor's office. If anyone wanted to accuse him, he would not be able to explain himself even if he had ten mouths.
"Lord Duan knows the Crown Prince went to Suzhou to recuperate, but he's been stuck here for so long, and now that something like this has happened, it's natural he's feeling down. I don't want to make a big deal out of this. I'll just wait for the people to return home so I can report back to the capital, right? If we can't find the relief funds, we'll have to investigate. That would be too embarrassing, and I'm afraid it won't end well."
Zhu Song's tone was gentle but contained a hint of compromise. Duan Zhenghong hesitated after hearing this. Should he really take out the money and put an end to this matter?
Zhu Song saw his expression and knew he was wavering, so he said, "Master Duan, please think of a solution. But if I don't see the silver before dinner, then we'll have to open a case and investigate."
Duan Zhenghong responded and left. Zhu Song looked at his back and ordered his attendants, "Keep an eye on him in secret."
"yes."
After waiting for a while, Zhu Song finally came out of the lobby and said to his attendants, "Let's go to the prison and see if Yi Kangning has confessed."
"yes."
After finishing his work, Zhu Song returned to his room. A dozen officers were still standing at the door, feeling drowsy and with sore feet. When they saw Zhu Song coming, they all shouted, "Master Zhu."
Zhu Song responded, "Thank you for your hard work." Then he walked into the room. The moment he pushed the door open, he was stopped by the nearest officer, "Master Zhu."
Zhu Song turned to look at him, "What's the matter?"
The officer forced a smile and asked humbly, "Master Zhu, what are we guarding here for?"
Zhu Song replied, "I didn't ask you to come here, so how would I know what you are guarding here?"
Hearing his words, the officer felt like crying. He said, "Master Zhu, please let us go. We know we are wrong."
Zhu Song just wanted to prove his and Wen Fengxuan's innocence, not really wanting to embarrass them, so he said, "I didn't ask you to guard in vain. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inside. His Royal Highness is in poor health and has been frightened this time, so he can't be disturbed. Leave two people on duty, and the others can go back."
"Thank you, sir."
The officers thanked them repeatedly, but the candidates who stayed behind looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while. Seeing this, Zhu Song said, "Alright, alright, go back and rest, we'll talk to you tonight."
"Thank you, sir." After getting permission, the officers hurried away. They had been standing for so long that their legs were stretched and they could not walk properly for a while.
Zhu Song found it a little funny to see them walking crookedly, so he raised his lips slightly and pushed the door open and walked in.
The charming scent in the room had not yet dissipated. When Zhu Song smelled it, his face immediately turned red. He closed the door, opened the window for ventilation, took a deep breath of fresh air, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and then walked inside.
In order to conceal his tracks, Zhu Song did not change the soiled bedding. He just spread out his clothes and let Wen Fengxuan lie on them. When he left, Zhu Song put clothes on Wen Fengxuan, but it still could not cover the red marks on his neck. Zhu Song could not help biting his lip when he saw it now.
Wen Fengxuan hadn't woken up yet, lying quietly on the bed, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, his thin lips were swollen, and his cheeks were rosy.
Zhu Song stood at the door and looked at him. He felt that Wen Fengxuan exuded an alluring scent, like the sweetness of a ripe peach, which made people's mouths dry.
Zhu Song stood at the door for a long time. He originally wanted to wait until he calmed down, but the more he looked, the angrier he became. He simply walked over with his eyes closed, but when he approached Wen Fengxuan, he realized something was wrong.
The breath was too hot, just like the time when Wen Fengxuan was drunk and had a fever. Zhu Song immediately lost all thoughts and quickly reached out to touch his forehead. Sure enough, he had a fever.
grass!
Zhu Song cursed inwardly, he had to find a doctor with a tight-lipped mouth. The only option left was to go to the doctor at Xinglin Hall. Zhu Song was so anxious that his mind was almost in a mess. He rushed out and shouted, "Someone, someone, come."
All the officers who heard the noise rushed over. They had never seen Zhu Song lose his composure like this before, and asked hurriedly, "Sir, what happened?"
Looking at so many people in front of him, Zhu Song calmed down a little, "Go, call Zhu Lingye over to me."
"yes."
Two officers hurried away, while the others were still waiting for Zhu Song's instructions. Zhu Song took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, go away."
"yes."
Zhu Lingye, who had received the news, quickly rushed over. Seeing Zhu Song's pale face and sweat, he hurriedly asked, "Brother, what happened?"
Zhu Song looked at him as if he were grasping at a lifeline, tightly grasping his arm. "The prince has a fever. You've been out and about a lot. Find a doctor you trust. Remember, you must find a doctor you trust."
Zhu Lingye knew that Zhu Song had a strong reaction to the fever, so he comforted him, "Brother, don't worry too much. A fever is not a big deal. Calm down. I'll go find a doctor right away."
Zhu Song was not comforted at all. He urged, "Go quickly."
"I'll be there right away."
Zhu Lingye did not delay and immediately turned around and ran away. Zhu Song looked at his back and was so anxious that he was running around. He should have brought his blessing as well.
"Someone come, someone come."
Zhu Song shouted twice more, and the officers came running over. Zhu Song said, "Go and fetch two basins of water."
Two officers left, and the remaining officers waited for instructions. Seeing that Zhu Song was in a very bad condition, they asked worriedly, "Sir, are you okay?"
Zhu Song then realized that someone was waiting for him. "It's okay, let's go."
Although the officers were worried about him, they did not dare to ask any questions. They kept looking back at him and whispered to each other.
"What happened to Master Zhu?"
"Are you sick from being too busy?"
"It does look like he's sick."
"I've been busy ever since Master Zhu arrived. It would be abnormal if I weren't tired."
"Master Yi is in jail again..."
"You don't want to live anymore after saying this. Is this something we can talk about?"
The officers were afraid to go far because they were worried about Zhu Song, and they just watched from a distance.
Soon, water arrived. Zhu Song walked into the room carrying a basin in one hand, placed it on the bedside, wrung out a handkerchief, and placed it on Wen Fengxuan's head. Wen Fengxuan was so feverish that his entire body turned pink. Zhu Song blamed himself immensely. He had known for a long time that Wen Fengxuan was in poor health, yet he still...
Fuck Yi Kangning! Zhu Song was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could stab him with his sword twice.
After the handkerchief had been changed ten times, Zhu Lingye's voice rang out at the door, "Brother, I've found a doctor."
Zhu Song jumped over with a quick step, and the first thing he saw when he opened the door was a silver mask.
"Su Li?"
Su Li's face didn't look good, and her voice was a little cold, "Where's the patient?"
Zhu Song stepped aside, and Zhu Lingye was about to follow him in, but was stopped by Su Li, "Nonessential people, please stay away."
"Oh." Zhu Lingye responded and walked out. Zhu Song asked, "What about me?"
Su Li glared at him, "Are you also irrelevant?" Before Zhu Song could answer, Su Li continued, "Close the door and follow me in."
Zhu Song quickly closed the door and followed him in.
The smell in the house became stronger and stronger, and Su Li's face became uglier and uglier, even with a mask she couldn't hide her ugliness.
Su Li stepped forward and skillfully took Wen Fengxuan's pulse, then took out a white porcelain bottle from her lapel, poured a pill from the bottle and fed it to Wen Fengxuan. After doing all this, she glared at Zhu Song fiercely.
Zhu Song was puzzled by his inexplicable hostility, but this matter was not very important to him. He just asked anxiously, "Is the illness serious? What medicine do you need? I will prepare it right away."
Su Li snorted coldly, her tone very bad. "You are so focused on preparing the herbs, but you don't have the mind to clean out the things in his body? Your mind is empty when you do it, and your mind is empty after you are done? Do you know that his body is not in good condition and can withstand such torment from you?"
Zhu Song rarely got scolded, but this incident was indeed his fault, so he didn't feel unhappy. He was just a little confused by what he said, "What do you mean by clean up?"
Su Li rolled her eyes. "Master Zhu is already 25, is he still a bachelor? Don't you understand this? You need to clean out what you left in his body. You need to clean it out. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Zhu Song was afraid that Su Li would be mad to death, so he replied with a slightly red face: "I know, I know."
Su Li said angrily, "You know what to do, but why don't you just go? Do you still need me to teach you step by step?"
When Zhu Song told Zhu Lingye to prepare the bath water, Zhu Lingye was a little puzzled, "Brother, why are you taking a bath at this time?"
"Don't ask."
"oh."
