When Lanqin learned that the Fourth Prince was going to duel with the Master, she tried to stop him, but it was too late. After lunch, the Fourth Prince stayed with Lanqin for a rest, but Lanqin actually fell asleep again. The Fourth Prince thought to himself: This little princess, can she sleep from morning till night?!
Fourth Master got out of bed and walked to the door. He said to Nianxue, who was standing guard by his side, "Don't wake your princess later. You should go in and rest for a while. Let her sleep as long as she can!"
Nianxue was unaware that the Fourth Prince was going to have a martial arts competition with Miaoshou that afternoon. She thought it was because the Fourth Prince felt sorry for her princess, so she sweetly agreed.
In fact, Fourth Master really cared about Lanqin, so he knew how to use swords and spears to avoid making her worry!
Su Peisheng had a bitter face. When he saw Fourth Master come out of Lanqin's room, he immediately followed and helped him wash his face. Su Peisheng had chased away all the servants in the restaurant and wouldn't let them come up to serve him at all.
"Why are you looking so miserable? Are you worried that I'll lose?" Fourth Master was secretly amused by Su Peisheng's expression.
"If you ask me, this 'miracle doctor' is simply too presumptuous. We should just send someone to tie him up and take him back to His Majesty for treatment. How can we allow him to act so recklessly? Swords and spears have no eyes. What if he hurts the Prince? How can I explain this to His Majesty?" Su Peisheng was almost in tears.
"Alright, stop with your nonsense. You're so sure I'll lose to him?" Fourth Master laughed.
"Of course I won't lose to a mere old man from the mountains, but I'm worried that you might get hurt by accident!" Su Peisheng had already cursed the ancestors of the master craftsman to the eighteenth generation in his heart.
"If I were to tie him up and take him back to treat Father Emperor, he would harbor resentment, and it would be difficult to guarantee that he would give his all. This kind of person has a strange temper, and if I were to use force, he might harm Father Emperor's health. I cannot take that risk. Only by making him truly convinced and then using a little force and power can he genuinely submit and help me treat Father Emperor!"
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful; I hadn't thought of that. But Your Majesty must be extremely careful later. If you suffer any loss, I won't be able to return to see the Emperor alive," Su Peisheng said, still with a mournful face.
"Alright, stop jinxing me. You're practically cursing me to do something terrible." Fourth Master said with a deliberately stern face.
"Pah, pah, pah! This servant's foul mouth is a real jinx. Master will definitely be unharmed and knock that master to the ground." Su Peisheng spat several times on the ground to get rid of the bad luck brought by his previous worries.
Meanwhile, Miao Shou was also ready. He had nothing of value, and there were no knives or swords in sight. He arrived at the agreed location early and started circling around. Li Wei followed behind him, wanting to ask him what he was doing, but Miao Shou completely ignored her.
"Dr. Miao, are you really going to fight Fourth Master? How can your body compare to ours? Why bother? If you get hurt by swords, it will be a huge loss! You have to go whether you want to or not, so why make such a fuss?" Li Wei still refused to give up any hope. He wouldn't be happy if either of them hurt someone, and he would be implicated.
"Don't worry, we'll just stop short of causing serious injury. Li Wei, you've really put me in a difficult position this time. If I really go and let his 'father' cure my headache, do you think I'll ever get out of here again? I might end up in the biggest prison in the world." Miao Shou shook his head, refusing to go to the Forbidden City, which everyone envies and hopes to enter.
