Chapter 17 The Ancient World XVI



Song Wanqing didn't know why, but since this morning, she had been unable to calm down. It was as if something had happened, but she didn't know what it was.

Just when I was feeling uneasy, I saw Dongfang Wen walking into Tinglan Garden with a dark face and a dazed look.

"Liu Lang, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

Dongfang Wen spoke very softly, and Song Wanqing couldn't hear clearly. He had to get close to him to hear what he said.

"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more..."

Dongfang Wen was in a very abnormal state. Song Wanqing thought about how he had been feeling inexplicably uneasy before and knew that something must have happened to him.

She tentatively hugged Dongfang Wen's body, but before she could say anything, Dongfang Wen fell on her.

"Someone come quickly, something has happened to the prince, go and call the imperial physician." Song Wanqing ordered anxiously, first went to call the court physician, and then carefully helped the man lie down on the bed.

During this period, Dongfang Wen was apparently favored by Emperor Xuan, and when she fainted, the imperial physician came to see her soon.

"The Sixth Prince was suddenly stimulated and depressed. He caught a cold in the cold weather and fainted suddenly. I can prescribe a medicine for him."

Before the imperial physician left, he also reminded Song Wanqing that Dongfang Wen should pay attention to her own mood and not work too hard. She would be fine after a few days of rest.

Song Wanqing nodded repeatedly, and finally ordered someone to give some reward money.

After sending the imperial physician away, Song Wanqing immediately sent someone to get medicine. While the medicine was being decocted, Dongfang Wen slowly woke up.

Song Wanqing hurriedly held down Dongfang Wen who wanted to get up, "Liu Lang, lie down well, you need to rest now."

Dongfang Wen held Song Wanqing's arm and said weakly, "What's wrong with me?"

Song Wanqing explained worriedly, "The imperial physician came. Liu Lang, you've been busy with work lately. You've been overworked and stressed out. You've caught a cold, and..." Song Wanqing finally changed his words, "That's why you fell ill."

Dongfang Wen gave a wry smile, "Did the imperial physician mention any other reasons?"

Song Wanqing knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he lowered his eyes and said, "You were also stimulated and depressed, so you suddenly fainted."

Dongfang Wen has always known that Song Wanqing is the same as him and has the same desires. He wants to sit in that position, and she also wants to be the queen.

So he didn't hide it too much and told Song Wanqing what he was thinking.

"Wanqing, I met my third brother in the imperial study today."

Song Wanqing trembled. What did that mean? Shouldn't that sickly Dongfang Rui be staying in the Third Prince's Mansion? And Song Wanning too? She was a little anxious to know what had happened.

Dongfang Wen could feel the princess's anxious mood beside him, "Yes, the appearance of the third prince in the imperial study means that his previous disobedience to our father is over, and..." He took a deep breath and continued.

"The key is that he already has a child."

"What!"

Song Wanqing was a little bit unbelievable, "Didn't you say before that he couldn't do it?"

Dongfang Wen felt annoyed when he thought about this. He didn't understand. A year ago, all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital examined Dongfang Rui and confirmed that he was really injured there and had lost his fertility.

"How should I know? It was those imperial doctors who said so."

Song Wanqing hesitated, "Liu Lang, do you think it's possible that my sister did something wrong and gave the child to the Third Prince... and then the Third Prince recognized the child for the sake of face."

Dongfang Wen was a little shaken, but he lowered his head and thought for a long time, then shook his head firmly.

"You don't know my Third Brother. He wouldn't be a fool. What you're saying can't happen."

Dongfang Wen himself didn't notice the certainty in his tone when he talked about Dongfang Rui.

Having reached a dead end, both of them fell silent, thinking about how to act next to save the situation.

What Dongfang Wen and Song Wanqing didn't know was that as soon as the imperial physician who treated him left, several princes and kings knew that he had fainted due to anger because of the return of the Third Prince.

When the news came, Emperor Xuan and the cabinet ministers were discussing how to deal with the problem of flood prevention and control in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, there was a cold snort.

The ministers were all smart people and immediately saw the future of the Sixth Prince from Emperor Xuan's attitude.

Dongfang Wen found out about it during the morning court session the next day, but her face turned pale. It was not only because of Emperor Xuan's attitude, but also because his ministers already knew about the situation and did not remind her at all.

He knew that he had no chance.

But now Dongfang Wen is still thinking about how he should get along with several competitors and Dongfang Rui.

After all, he had previously stood on Dongfang Rui's side, and his team was still some of Dongfang Rui's former people, which made things very awkward.

Dongfang Wen urgently contacted his core ministers, but in the end less than one in ten of them showed up, and they failed to discuss countermeasures. Dongfang Wen also became unwell.

Because their hearts are no longer with him, and some people even advised him to apologize to the Third Prince and return to his camp.

In the end, they parted on bad terms.

When Dongfang Rui knew all this, he said nothing and had a blank expression on his face.

He doesn't attack Dongfang Wen now because of their past relationship. What happens to him in the future depends entirely on Dongfang Wen herself.

No matter how turbulent the outside world was, Song Sanniang lived a happy life at Prince Rui's Mansion.

Before, there were people watching over Prince Rui's Mansion, and there were few servants. Considering that Dongfang Rui was pregnant, there were many dishes that the chefs in the mansion could cook that she had not tried yet.

Now that we have helpers and the Prince Rui's Palace is open, we can buy any ingredients as long as they are not too far away.
