Chapter 352: Caning
Lin Pianran stared quietly at Prince Duan's receding back, with endless depth in her eyes.
Prince Duan's action was a choice made out of sheer helplessness. He could only bite the bullet and apologize to Emperor Wu of Qin, temporarily suppressing his anger deep in his heart.
However, he is not someone who gives up easily. This time of forbearance is just the temporary calm before the storm.
Lin Pianran raised her hand gently and then called a secret guard.
She gently opened her red lips and whispered, "Go quickly and spread the news that the poison in Prince Duan's body has been eliminated and he has fully recovered..."
"Then, send someone to quietly inform Concubine Li and Prince Chang, letting them know that Prince Duan had secretly found a miracle doctor who cleared the toxins from his body, but he turned a blind eye to them, mother and son, and offered no help..."
Upon hearing this plan, Baili Qingyun couldn't help but burst into laughter, his hearty laughter echoing in the air.
"Sister, you're really too mean! Not only did you force Prince Duan to come to the palace to apologize, but you even tried to sow discord between the three of them, mother and son. Aren't you pushing Prince Duan into a dead end?"
"But, sister, I will always support you and stand on the same front with you..."
Han Chaolin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, like a flower blooming inadvertently in spring, warm and subtle, making people intoxicated.
He has been silently watching his sister's every move, his heart filled with indescribable emotions.
He had never expected that his sister was so capable, with such sharp minds and varied strategies. Especially when facing enemies, her decisiveness and ruthlessness were simply astonishing.
Her mind worked extremely fast, and every move she made hit the enemy's vital parts...
While chatting, laughing and joking, you can easily kill someone without any compensation!
It’s really amazing!
With such a wise, brave and resourceful sister, how could the future of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion not be bright and brilliant?
A century of prosperity no longer seems to be an unattainable dream.
The glory and splendor of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion will be continued in the hands of my sister and will shine with unprecedented brilliance.
Thinking of this, Han Chaolin was extremely excited.
Just at this moment, Jingyu came to report happily, his voice full of uncontrollable joy.
"Miss, His Highness has already ordered the betrothal gifts to be delivered to the Duke of Huguo's residence. The betrothal procession is like a long, winding dragon, stretching from the main street to the end of the alley. It is very spectacular, and its length is breathtaking..."
Lin Pianran had never expected that Huo Yuchen would choose today to send the betrothal gifts to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
If it weren't for so many things going on recently, the betrothal gifts might have been sent over long ago, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Pianran's heart couldn't help but ripples, but her face still maintained that calmness, without revealing any emotion and no flaws.
She first walked up to Huo Qing and slowly untied him, not forgetting to sarcastically say, "Didn't your men go to get reinforcements? It's been over half an hour, and there's still no sign of the ghost. It seems they've lost their way, right?"
"this......"
Huo Qing hesitated for a long time and was unable to speak.
At this moment, several royal guards dressed in gorgeous armor walked in with heavy steps, carrying in two people covered in blood and torn flesh.
Emperor Wu of Qin, this iron-blooded emperor, did not disappoint Lin Pianran!
As expected, he did not let Prince Jing and Prince Jing's son go. At this moment, both of them must have been beaten with a stick.
The father and son lay quietly on the stretcher, their consciousness having long since sunk into endless darkness and they were unconscious.
Lin Pianran was so happy that she almost cried out loud, but she still maintained her composure on the surface and said slowly, "Let's ask the doctor to take a look! With such a serious injury, I'm afraid you'll have to lie down for ten days or half a month!"
Although Huo Qing felt a little embarrassed, he still ran to Baili Qingyun, tugged at his sleeve, and said pleadingly, "Divine Doctor Baili, you happen to be at your house, please help treat their injuries!"
Baili Qingyun naturally would not be kind to this shameless villain who had just stood by and watched him die without helping, but now had the audacity to beg for help. He had an indifferent and distant look on his face, and was about to refuse him righteously.
But unexpectedly, Lin Pianran took the initiative and agreed.
"It's OK to have my brother treat the illness, but the price needs to be made clear first. It costs three thousand taels of silver to treat one person."
"If you think the price is right, then we will treat you. If you don't agree, then we will leave your house immediately."
When Huo Qing heard this, he was surprised that the request was really too high.
Later, I thought about it carefully. I just offended the great doctor Baili. Now I will just consider it as a loss to ward off disaster!
So he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet a few times, and had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, it's settled. Doctor Baili's medical skills are well-known throughout the Qin Dynasty. I believe he will be able to help father and the prince recover as quickly as possible."
Before Baili Qingyun had a chance to speak, the two men had already reached an agreement.
Although he didn't know what Lin Pianran was planning, he guessed that she must have some plan.
I had no choice but to cooperate.
So, he followed Huo Qing and the others into the front yard without saying a word.
In order to facilitate treatment, Huo Qing had Prince Jing and Prince Jing's son carried into Prince Jing's courtyard so that they could receive concentrated treatment and Baili Qingyun wouldn't have to run around.
Baili Qingyun was very satisfied with this arrangement.
He just wanted to treat the father and son's wounds as soon as possible and leave Prince Jing's Mansion as soon as possible.
Today, we've already eliminated one of Huo Li's senior brothers, and there's also a third senior brother. When will he fall into our trap? How can we capture him? We need to discuss this with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
This heartless person knew to send the betrothal gift but didn't come to save him. How mean!
He wanted to go back to the Prince's Mansion and have a good talk with Huo Yuchen.
While Baili Qingyun was treating his injuries, Lin Pianran and Han Chaolin were sitting in the yard leisurely drinking tea. The brother and sister were talking and joking, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
Huo Qing no longer paid any attention to them and let them play as they pleased.
During this time, Lin Pianran found an excuse, saying that she wanted to wash her hands, and left quietly. About a cup of tea later, she returned quietly without attracting anyone's attention.
By the time Baili Qingyun finished carefully bandaging Prince Jing and Prince Jing's son, half an hour had passed. Lin Pianran, Baili Qingyun and Han Chaolin finally left Prince Jing's mansion side by side.
