Chapter 381 The Crown Prince brought Lin Rouxin back!
Huo Yunzhou looked up blankly: "What did you say?"
"It's nothing, but you need to have your injuries treated."
After finishing her speech, Shen Wantang left with her maid.
Huo Yunzhou stared at her retreating figure for a while before realizing that Shen Wantang was reminding him that if he wanted to protect Lin Rouxin, he had to protect himself first.
He looked at himself and suddenly woke up!
Yes, he couldn't kneel here forever, nor could he collapse covered in wounds. Lin Rouxin still needed his protection!
He gritted his teeth, stood up, and limped out of the yard.
Wutong Garden.
Qin Xin whispered in Shen Wantang's ear, "Princess Consort, General Huo listened to your advice and has already left."
"Um."
"Should we send someone to secretly warn him that Miss Lin might be in danger?"
"No need."
Shen Wantang said calmly, "If I directly remind him, people will suspect that I betrayed him, and the situation won't look good."
"Then what should we do?"
"Has the young master returned yet?"
"Not yet. The young master took Consort Chu out early this morning. They are looking for a partnership with the largest pharmacy in the capital to sell Consort Chu's exclusive scar removal cream."
"Then send someone to tell Mo Ji that the princess wants Lin Rouxin dead, and that's all."
Qin Xin hesitated: "This...would it be useful to only tell the Crown Prince?"
"Don't worry, telling him is the same as telling everyone else. He can't keep a secret."
Since Shen Wantang was so certain, Qin Xin felt at ease and went to find someone to deliver a message to Mo Ji.
Du Juan asked softly, "Your Highness, are you worried that Miss Lin's life is in danger, so you want to help her?"
Shen Wantang gave a mocking smile: "I'm not that kind of person. I don't know Lin Rouxin at all. Why would I help her? I'm only helping myself."
Having been given a second chance at life, she felt blessed by the heavens, so she became more tolerant of many people and things, even helping those who were originally unrelated to her.
However, given Xiao Qingxi's repeated provocations, she was no longer willing to tolerate it.
Xiao Qingxi likes to annoy her, so she'll annoy Xiao Qingxi in return and see who annoys her more.
That night, Xiao Qingyuan finally returned, and he brought her a big surprise—he brought Lin Rouxin back with him.
The commotion at Xinghe Courtyard echoed through the night sky; Shen Wantang could hear Xiao Qingxi's curses and shouts even from her own courtyard.
After what seemed like an eternity, the commotion finally subsided.
A moment later, Qin Xin rushed in: "Princess Consort, the Princess has fainted from anger caused by the Prince! She has also had a miscarriage and is bleeding!"
With all that arguing, it's no wonder the baby is upset.
Shen Wantang wasn't surprised, and simply asked, "Did Physician Zhou treat her?"
"He has been treated. Fortunately, the Princess insisted on keeping Physician Zhou here and refused to let him leave. He came in handy right now, otherwise I'm afraid we would have had to call you over again."
Qin Xin spoke very quickly: "Imperial Physician Zhou is furious. Just an hour ago, he had stabilized the princess's condition and stopped the bleeding, but she has already lost her temper again and fainted from anger."
"Doctor Zhou said that if the princess continues to neglect her health, he will no longer treat her, no matter how much money is offered, so as not to ruin her reputation."
Physician Zhou has always been renowned as a gynecological expert. When the Empress was pregnant with the Crown Prince, she was poisoned and almost miscarried. It was Physician Zhou who saved the Crown Prince. Later, the Empress faced many dangerous situations, and it was Physician Zhou who saved her pregnancy.
As a result, Physician Zhou became famous, and countless people paid him large sums of money to save their pregnancies or to treat infertility.
Whenever Physician Zhou intervened, not a single miscarriage occurred; all the babies were eventually born safely.
Zhou Taiyi's exceptional medical skills earned him a prominent position in the Imperial Medical Academy, and even the emperor held him in high esteem.
None of the other imperial physicians dared to reprimand Princess Xiao Qingxi; only Physician Zhou dared to do so.
"Qin Xin, why did the young master suddenly bring Lin Rouxin back to the palace?"
Shen Wantang was genuinely suspicious: "He knew perfectly well that the princess loathed Lin Rouxin, so why did he bring her back? Could it be that you relayed the wrong message to Moji?"
"This has nothing to do with me, Your Highness!"
Qin Xin quickly replied, "This servant relayed the message exactly as you instructed, without saying a single extra word! The young master brought Miss Lin back because he has already recognized her as his sworn sister!"
Shen Wantang was taken aback: "What? Sworn sister? The young master is praising Lin Rouxin so highly, isn't he afraid that the princess will sever their sibling relationship?"
"The young master said this is for the princess's own good!"
"How is it good?"
"The young master said he has made a deal with Miss Lin. He will recognize her as his sworn sister, become her family member, and help her find a good husband. He will also give her a large dowry and send her off on her wedding day. In return, Miss Lin must promise that she will only regard General Huo as her brother and will not become his concubine or wife! In this way, the princess will not have to divorce General Huo, and they can live happily together as before!"
Shen Wantang was somewhat surprised. Did Xiao Qingyuan actually have this kind of brain? She originally thought Xiao Qingyuan was just fooling around again, but she didn't expect that this time he had actually put in a lot of effort.
After a long while, she asked, "Has Lin Rouxin agreed to become the Crown Prince's sworn sister?"
"Yes, I agree!"
Shen Wantang frowned: "Something's not right. Why would Lin Rouxin suddenly agree to this proposal?"
Qin Xin asked softly, "Princess Consort, is there anything wrong with this? Does Miss Lin have ill intentions in coming to our manor? I always feel that her methods are remarkably similar to those of Consort Chu. Miss Lin used to live far away from the Princess, but now she's living under the same roof as the Princess. Do you think she might want to harm the Princess?"
Shen Wantang suddenly remembered her previous life.
In her previous life, Xiao Qingxi lost her child, and for the next ten years she did not become pregnant again. On the contrary, Lin Rouxin gave birth to a son and a daughter for Huo Yunzhou.
These thoughts only flashed through her mind; she naturally couldn't tell the maid about her past life.
She simply said, "The princess had previously mentioned wanting to recognize Lin Rouxin as her goddaughter and make the entire Ning Prince's Mansion her maternal family. She also said she could give her a generous dowry and help her find a good husband, but Huo Yunzhou refused them all. He said at the time that Lin Rouxin didn't want any of these things and only wanted to follow him wholeheartedly."
"Oh? Could it be that General Huo lied? Miss Lin was actually willing to become the Princess's adopted daughter, but General Huo refused her without her knowledge."
Shen Wantang shook her head: "No, Huo Yunzhou probably didn't lie. He always considered Lin Rouxin's feelings. If Lin Rouxin was really willing to become the princess's adopted daughter, he couldn't possibly refuse on her behalf."
"The most likely explanation is that Lin Rouxin suddenly changed her mind."
