1388 Love Crazy, Left Bank is Back
The Ninth Prince fell ill as soon as he came out of the palace, and his illness was very serious. There were several reports that he was critically ill, and the entire Ninth Prince's Mansion was shrouded in a dark atmosphere.
There was an endless stream of people visiting the Ninth Prince's Mansion. The Emperor even issued an edict, giving the Ninth Prince a lot of good medicinal herbs and requiring the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to do their best to treat the Ninth Prince and not let anything happen to him.
It's not that the emperor is kind, but... the Ninth Prince went into the city and the palace safely, but fell ill as soon as he left the palace. If anything happens to him, the emperor cannot be free from responsibility.
How come the Ninth Prince got sick, and the whole capital knew about it? What was the Ninth Prince up to?
Wang Jinling went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to visit the patient with a lot of questions in his mind, and found out... the Ninth Prince was really sick, and his illness was very serious.
"Are you really sick?" The calm and self-controlled young master almost jumped up.
There was no way. He knew better than anyone how insidious the Ninth Prince was. He thought the Ninth Prince was going to do something again, but he didn't expect that he was really sick. This was really hard to believe.
"I am a human being, isn't it normal for me to get sick?" The Ninth Prince asked back coldly. Even though he was lying on the sickbed with a pale face, he did not weaken his momentum in front of Wang Jinling.
"It's normal for others to get sick, but you getting sick... I really didn't expect it. I thought you were going to frame the emperor and harm his brothers and sisters." Wang Jinling wanted to say that he had never regarded the Ninth Prince as a human being. He always regarded the Ninth Prince as a monster.
The Ninth Prince snorted in annoyance. Not to mention Wang Jinling, even his good brother didn't believe it. But what did it have to do with him? It would be better if outsiders didn't believe it.
"By the way, why didn't Qingchen come when you were sick?" Wang Jinling would never admit it. He was trying to provoke the Ninth Uncle. He was just curious.
The Ninth Prince's expression changed immediately, and he glared at Wang Jinling coldly: "Wang Jinling, I don't want to see you."
Wang Jinling smiled, and that smile as gentle as spring breeze could instantly soothe people's hearts, but the Ninth Prince became more and more angry as he watched, and he said again: "Wang Jinling, get out..."
Wang Jinling didn't even move his buttocks, and looked at the Ninth Uncle with a smile: "I was wondering why you were sick, Ninth Uncle, it turns out that this is the case... What? Did you have a fight with Qingchen? Do you want me to be a peacemaker for you?"
It is indeed not a gentleman's act to kick someone when he is down, but it depends on the target. If the target is the Ninth Prince, then there is no need to be a gentleman.
Wang Jinling felt relaxed all over. He was no longer worried about Feng Qingchen going to Beiling. What could be more gratifying than seeing the Ninth Prince suffer a setback? He had not forgotten how the Ninth Prince used Feng Qingchen to provoke him.
Things have changed, and Donglingjiu has come to this day.
"Wang Jinling, remember that you are a gentleman." He was stupid to let Wang Jinling be a peacemaker. This time Qingchen was kidnapped by King Luo, and it was Wang Jinling who made the greatest contribution.
As Feng Qingchen is always repaying a favor, her affection for Wang Jinling has only grown.
"I have always been a gentleman. Ninth Prince, don't judge others by your own standards. If I were not a gentleman, do you think Qingchen would still care about you?" He is a gentleman, so the Ninth Prince is naturally a villain.
"Remember your words and continue to be a gentleman. Feng Qingchen belongs to me and no one can take her away from me." The Ninth Prince declared domineeringly.
"Whether it is yes or no, it is not up to you to decide. Everyone knows that Feng Qingchen will go to Beiling as a dowry. People in the outside world are saying that you are so angry because Feng Qingchen is going to Beiling that you are bedridden. Ninth uncle, you are really a lovesick person." Wang Jinling persuaded Feng Qingchen that he could come forward to protect Feng Qingchen and would not let Feng Qingchen go to Beiling as a dowry. However, Feng Qingchen was determined to go to Beiling no matter what.
There was no other way, Wang Jinling had to start with the Ninth Uncle. He couldn't understand what was there in Beiling that was worth Feng Qingchen's visit?
Originally, he thought Feng Qingchen went there for the Ninth Prince. After all, the Ninth Prince had taken the smuggling route of Beiling from him. The Ninth Prince was obviously interested in Beiling. But then he thought that Feng Qingchen was not that kind of person.
Her going to Beiling should have something to do with me, right?
Wang Jinling vaguely guessed something, but he didn't dare to think about it too deeply, because that possibility was too terrible!
"Going to Beiling doesn't mean you'll stay in Beiling forever."
“Nine…” Wang Jinling just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by the Ninth Prince: “I won’t tell you.”
"As expected, you are a villain." Knowing that it was useless to ask any more questions, Wang Jinling said no more, stood up, and slowly smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes: "Uncle Nine, you should take your time to recover. I have an appointment with Qingchen for tea, so I will leave first."
Although there were some disputes of pride, he was happy, so the Ninth Prince slowly sulked, and finally he collapsed on the bed and couldn't get up, confirming his reputation as a lovesick man.
The so-called tea tasting was just a casual remark, but Wang Jinling still went to Feng Mansion. He didn't know what had happened between the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, but the matter of the Ninth Prince's illness was a hot topic, so it might as well be that he mentioned it to Feng Qingchen.
"Where is your daughter?" Wang Jinling sat down in the flower hall and asked when he saw Feng Qingchen had not arrived yet.
"Please wait a moment, young master. My young master is talking to Young Master Zuo." Tong Yao smiled sweetly.
"Master Zuo? Zuo An is back?"
Yes, Zuo An is back, he returned to Feng Mansion with injuries, and he also brought a huge secret with him.
"It was the Xie family who sent Sun Zhengdao's head to the Feng Mansion. What does the Xie family mean by this?" Feng Qingchen slammed the table in anger. "In order to make Nanling Jinfan happy, they took it out on me. The Xie family is really capable."
Feng Qingchen was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wished he could drag the Xie family out and beat them up right now.
The Xie family has gone too far.
In order to attack her and Sixing, they actually dug up the remains of Sun Zhengdao and his wife, leaving them with no peace even in death.
"I have asked someone to send the remains of Mr. Sun and his wife to Jiangnan and hand them over to Sun Sixing, who will deal with them." Zuo An's face was pale and bloodless, and it was obvious at a glance that he had lost too much blood.
"Thank you for your hard work. I thank you on behalf of Sixing." They investigated this matter for a long time, and even the Ninth Prince used his connections to investigate, but there was no trace. In the end, it was Zuo An who found it.
After all, no one could have imagined that in order to attack her and Sixing, the Xie family would actually spend manpower and resources to investigate the whereabouts of Sun Zhengdao and his wife.
"No need, I am also... cough cough, helping Sixing." Zuo An coughed twice after saying one sentence, and coughed up blood. Feng Qingchen did not dare to keep him any longer: "You are seriously injured, go to the room quickly, the doctor is coming soon."
"No hurry." Zuo An waved his hand, but Feng Qingchen insisted: "Your health is more important. I will read these things slowly by myself. If there is anything I don't understand, I will ask you again."
Zuo An nodded after a brief consideration, but he did not return to his room. Instead, he went to see his brother. Feng Qingchen certainly didn't know about this. She was immersed in the information brought by Zuo An, and the more she read, the more frightened she became.
Nanling Jinfan and the Princess of Xiling actually extended their hands to Dongling. These two people are too ambitious.
And there is the Xie family. No wonder the eighth prince was crowned king before he was one year old without causing any shock among the people in the court. It turns out that the Xie family has unknowingly gained control of a lot of power in the court.
Even the Xie family had early contacts with Nanling Jinfan and the eldest princess. What is the Xie family planning to do?
Stealing the country?
The more Feng Qingchen looked at him, the uglier her expression became. She vaguely felt that the Xie family's intention to find Sun Zhengdao was not just to attack her and Sixing. Could it be...
Is it related to her background?
