Chapter 215 The Regent's Ignorance
The imperial physician was threatened by this and looked at Shangguan Lan apologetically: "General Shangguan, I will be back soon."
"No! If you don't save my little sister today, I will not let you go anywhere." Shangguan Lan stopped him and shouted in a deep voice.
When Lin Yao saw the people being stopped, she also shouted sternly: "Shangguan Lan, you, a second-rank general, dare to disregard the life of the current Grand Tutor. If anything happens to my father, I will make you and your sister pay with your lives."
"Ms. Lin, when we came back from the mountain just now, I saw your father standing outside the tent. How come he fainted after such a short while?
Also, you have always been at odds with my sister. I now strongly suspect that you stopped the imperial physician just because you didn't want him to treat my sister.
"Imperial Physician, you must treat my sister immediately, otherwise she will be in danger." Shangguan Lan grabbed the imperial physician and pulled him to the bed.
Lin Yao was so shocked by what he said that she shouted, "Imperial Physician, I think you don't want to be an Imperial Physician anymore. Why don't you go and treat my father?"
The imperial physician shook off Shangguan Lan's hand in embarrassment: "General Shangguan, I'm sorry!" Then he was about to leave.
Shangguan Lan saw that the imperial physician was afraid of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and he was anxious. He drew his sword and blocked the door: "If my sister can't be cured today, you can't go anywhere."
"Shangguan Lan, are you planning a rebellion? The Dongqiang people are indeed untrustworthy. Come, capture Shangguan Lan for me."
Lin Yao gave orders in an arrogant manner. Her father was the Grand Tutor, so she was not afraid of anyone. Even if the Regent came, she would not be afraid.
This woman had a relationship with that man before, but he only treated her as a bed warmer.
When I was in Lizhou City, that man treated me much more important than this mistress.
Now their past is a thing of the past, so that man would never offend their Grand Tutor's Mansion for a married woman.
Besides, she had embarrassed Yun Wansheng several times before, and the man hadn't cared either! This made her conclude that she was more important to the man than this singing girl.
Following her order, the guards from the Grand Tutor's Mansion immediately came in to arrest people.
Shangguan Lan would not surrender, so he raised his sword and fought with the two palace soldiers.
Lin Yao hid in the corner and watched the excitement in front of her. She was not in a hurry at all. As long as she could delay saving the woman's life, she didn't care how long they fought.
Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, a loud shout was heard: "Stop it, my king!"
This shout was indeed effective, and both sides stepped back and stood aside.
Mu Xingci walked into the tent with murderous aura all over his body. He didn't ask anything and went straight to the bed to look at the woman whose life was hanging by a thread.
"Imperial Physician, I order you to treat Madam Yun immediately. If anything happens to her, you will not be alive anymore."
"Brother Xingci, my father has also fainted and urgently needs treatment from the imperial physician." Lin Yao stepped forward and said, pretending to be worried.
Mu Xingci ignored her: "Come here, ask Miss Lin to leave. Her presence will only delay the imperial physician from saving people."
Lin Yao was stunned when she heard this. She obviously didn't expect that this man would actually drive her out: "Brother Xingci, how could you...!" Before she could finish her words, she was dragged out by Qi Yi.
The master is in a hurry to save people now, so how could he let this woman chatter and waste time saving people.
Lin Yao was forcefully dragged out of the tent, her eyes wide open in disbelief. Mu Xingci actually dared to treat her like this.
He totally disregarded her dignity as a young lady of the Grand Tutor's House, and she was driven out just like that, which instantly shattered her confidence.
At this time, there were only Mu Xingci and Shangguan Lan in the big tent. They watched without blinking as the imperial physician treated the woman who was most important to them.
I don't know how long I watched worriedly, but I saw the imperial physician finally stop.
"Your Majesty, since Madam Yun is seriously injured, I cannot guarantee that she will be fine. However, as long as she can survive tonight, her life will not be in danger." The imperial physician said uncertainly.
"What should I pay attention to?" Mu Xingci asked without taking his eyes off the woman.
"The main thing is to prevent her fever from getting too severe. I'll go make her some medicine in a moment, hoping to stop her fever."
"Well! Go quickly! I want you to use the best herbs to make her a brew. As long as she can wake up safely, I will reward her handsomely."
"As you command."
After the imperial physician left, Mu Xingci took another step forward, knelt on one knee in front of the bed and looked at the unconscious woman.
"Wan Sheng, I won't let anything happen to you. If I find out who hurt you, I will make him pay double." Mu Xingci stroked the woman's pale face with his palm, his eyes slightly moist with heartache and anger.
Shangguan Lan, who was standing by, chuckled softly upon hearing this: "What if it was the young lady of the Grand Tutor? Would the Prince Regent also seek revenge?"
Mu Xingci paused as he was touching the woman's face. "Shangguan Lan, as long as there is evidence that she did it, I will not tolerate it."
"Evidence? You know clearly that I, a native of Dongqiang, cannot find any evidence, yet you still use the word 'evidence' to evade me.
Regent, let’s not talk about any evidence for now. I didn’t suspect Miss Lin out of thin air. When we came back, I clearly saw the Grand Tutor standing at the door of his tent, and he watched me come back with my men.
But when I called the imperial physician, Miss Lin came in and said her father had fainted. Do you think it was such a coincidence?" Shangguan Lan sneered.
After Mu Xingci heard what he said, his eyes darkened: "I will get to the bottom of this matter."
Shangguan Lan listened to his light words, which seemed to be perfunctory, which made him sneer: "Will this matter be left unresolved if it is not investigated?"
Mu Xingci never turned around to look at him. His distressed eyes were always fixed on the seriously injured woman on the bed: "Don't worry about this matter. This king will not let my woman become the target of others' prey."
Shangguan Lan heard this and looked towards the door with a cold gaze: "Prince Regent, I only have this one sister. If anything happens to her, I don't care if he has evidence or not, she must die!"
Mu Xingci's eyes narrowed slightly, "I understand." He then stood up and looked at him, "Take good care of Wan Sheng. I'll be leaving first. I think there should be news from Tian Jinfeng by now."
When he mentioned this, Shangguan Lan finally remembered the purpose of their visit: "Don't worry, Regent, I will take good care of my sister."
Mu Xingci looked at Yun Wansheng who was still unconscious, and then went to do another thing with concern.
Sure enough, not long after he returned to his tent, someone came to report: "Reporting to the Regent, the Duke just returned and seems to be injured. Since they just returned, they don't allow others to approach. I don't know the exact extent of his injuries at the moment."
Mu Xingci thought for a moment with a suspicious look in his eyes: "Have someone keep watching, and if anything happens, report it to me immediately."
"Yes!" The guard replied and went out.
