582 We are all taking action to take back power
Cui Haoting seemed to have expected Feng Qingchen to come to him. When Feng Qingchen said, "Mr. Cui, I want to talk to you about your illness?" Cui Haoting waved his hand and sent everyone around him away.
"Miss Feng, there are no outsiders around now, you can speak." Cui Haoting's ten fingers were snow-white, with blue veins visible. His frail body looked obviously sick. It seemed that a month of recuperation did not make his body much better.
Feng Qingchen understood that Cui Haoting's illness could not be delayed any longer, so he got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Cui, your illness can no longer be delayed. I have discussed the detailed treatment plan with you last time. I think after a month, you should have considered it enough."
Cui Haoting's grip on the cup tightened, and although he quickly returned to normal, it did not escape Feng Qingchen who had been staring at him. Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
This means that Cui Haoting's matter can continue to be discussed, which is a good sign. She was still worried that after a month, Cui Haoting would refuse to undergo the operation. After all, she told Cui Haoting about the risks of the operation and said that if the operation failed, she had to ensure that Cui's family would not be angry with her.
Feng Qingchen also picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. The warm liquid went down his throat, making Feng Qingchen feel warm all over and his face relaxed.
Unexpectedly, after thinking for a moment, Cui Haoting did not answer Feng Qingchen's question, but said leisurely: "Miss Feng, how about this tea?"
Now it was Feng Qingchen's turn to freeze, and he stood there holding the teacup. He looked up and met Cui Haoting's eyes. His slightly melancholy eyes were like black water, deep and quiet, and no emotion could be seen.
Feng Qingchen frowned, and put the cup down with a "thump". "Mr. Cui, since you haven't made up your mind, I won't bother you. Three days, I'll give you three days. If you don't reply within three days, I'll consider that you have given up on the treatment."
After saying that, she walked away without looking back, her steps as calm as usual. However, only Feng Qingchen herself understood that she was almost mad to death.
They had clearly agreed before that if it weren't for Wang Jinling's incident, Cui Haoting and his group would have been recovering. But they didn't expect that Cui Haoting's attitude would change so much after a month.
As for the person who made Cui Haoting change his position, Feng Qingchen knew it without thinking. After Cui Haoting came to Dongling, he only came into contact with a few people, besides Yun Xiao, there was Mr. Yuan Xi who came to visit recently.
The person who dissuaded Cui Haoting from the idea must have been Mr. Yuan Xi.
"Asshole, you ruined my plan." When Feng Qingchen reached the gate of the yard, he couldn't help but kicked the stone under his feet away. With a bang, it hit the wall.
After Feng Qingchen left, Yuan Ji, the guard beside Cui Haoting, came out and said to Cui Haoting respectfully, "Sir, the third young master has returned to the Cui family. The old lady ordered the third young master to reflect on his mistakes for three months and hand over all the businesses he managed."
The Third Master Cui was the one who sent someone to assassinate Feng Qingchen and caused Feng Qingchen to be injured in the neck. Cui Haoting leaked a little bit of the information to Feng Qingchen, and the Third Master Cui was expelled from the Dongling Imperial City and left injured. Now he is being punished by his family.
"Feng Qingchen's skills are indeed amazing. I wonder if her medical skills are as good as her scheming." Cui Haoting didn't care about the power struggle within the Cui family. He cared more about his own life.
"Young Master?" Yuan Ji looked up. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, he couldn't hide the worry in his heart.
"Yuan Ji, what do you think? Should I treat him or not?" Cui Haoting closed his eyes and leaned back.
He thought a lot during this month. Mr. Yuan Xi was right that it was not worth the gamble with a 70% chance of success. But Yun Xiao was also right. If he didn't gamble, he would have no choice but to die. Now he was just struggling to survive, asking God for help.
How could a servant like him give advice on such a matter? If there was any mistake, the Cui family would not let him go. Yuan Ji lowered his head quickly and said, "No matter what decision you make, I believe in you."
"Forget it, go down and let me think about it carefully." Cui Haoting sighed deeply.
Feng Qingchen returned empty-handed from Cui Haoting, but she was not discouraged. She did not put all her hopes on Cui Haoting. Feng Qingchen calmed herself down, went back to her room, changed her clothes, and then went out to the Ningguo Mansion.
She had just recovered from her injuries and had just returned to the city, but she had to run around everywhere. Only she understood the hardship involved. However, when she learned that the Emperor was forcing the Ninth Prince, she had to take the initiative, otherwise the Ninth Prince would not be able to concentrate on dealing with Xuanxiao Palace, and she would also be implicated.
Because Feng Qingchen saved the Ningguo Duke's wife and her two sons, Feng Qingchen was a distinguished guest to the Ningguo Duke's Mansion, and the wife of the prince personally received Feng Qingchen.
"Miss Feng, you are such a rare guest." After more than half a year of recuperation, the Crown Prince's wife looked much better, and her attitude towards Feng Qingchen was even more polite than before.
It must be said that after what happened at the city gate yesterday, everyone saw Feng Qingchen as a target, and also saw that the Ninth Prince valued Feng Qingchen. As long as someone was not hostile to the Ninth Prince, they would be polite to Feng Qingchen.
"Madam, you are too polite. Qingchen has come here specially to deliver the invitation." No one would come to the palace for no reason. If she didn't have a good reason and her purpose was too strong, the Ningguo Mansion would definitely not help. Some things should be left to nature, and that is beautiful. If she doesn't make the emperor suffer to death, she would not be named Feng.
"Invitation? Miss Feng, are you inviting us to enjoy the snow or the plum blossoms?" As the year draws to a close, there are constant banquets in various major families in the imperial city. Some ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families make full use of their lady diplomacy to build relationships for their husbands.
There is no way around it. The annual Ministry of Personnel assessment is coming up and many people’s official positions will be changed. We have to take action.
If it were in the past, the Crown Prince's wife would definitely not think about it, but this year the matter between the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen has become increasingly clear. The Crown Prince's wife's words can be regarded as a test of Feng Qingchen, to see if Feng Qingchen would represent the women of the Ninth Prince's Mansion to come out and entertain them.
You should know that the Ninth Prince has never hosted anyone for a banquet since he established his palace. To receive an invitation from the Ninth Prince's Palace is no less exciting than receiving an invitation to a poetry gathering.
Feng Qingchen chuckled and guessed what the wife of the Crown Prince was thinking. She had to say that the directness of the wife of the Duke of Ningguo was very cute.
The wife of the Crown Prince felt embarrassed by Feng Qingchen's laughter, and quickly opened the post to hide her embarrassment. Only then did she realize that it was not the case at all, and her face turned red with embarrassment: "Miss Feng, I am really sorry, Miss Feng, rest assured, I will definitely be there."
Feng Qingchen came to the Ningguo Mansion under the pretext of moving back to the Feng Mansion, and tried to get close to the Crown Prince's wife under the pretext of delivering an invitation.
This was the best and most appropriate reason Feng Qingchen could come up with. Feng Mansion was burned down by a fire, and the arsonist has not been found yet. Now that Feng Mansion has been rebuilt, she wants to move back. Of course, she has to tell everyone in a high-profile manner and warn the person who did it in the first place that Feng Mansion will always belong to her, Feng Qingchen. After a fire, Feng Mansion will only become more majestic and solid.
"Qingchen would like to thank the Crown Prince's wife first." Feng Qingchen thanked her sincerely this time. According to the status of the Ningguo Mansion, at most they could send a respectable nanny. The Crown Prince's wife came in person to give her face.
In order to express his gratitude, Feng Qingchen suggested taking the pulse of the Crown Prince's wife and checking her physical condition. The Crown Prince's wife happily agreed.
She had not been feeling well for some time, so it was not a good idea to ask a doctor for treatment. She had thought about asking Feng Qingchen for treatment, but firstly, Feng Qingchen was very busy, and secondly, Feng Qingchen's current status was different, so she did not feel comfortable asking Feng Qingchen for treatment.
The two of them came to the inner room, and Feng Qingchen opened the smart medical kit in advance. It was not that she did not use the pulse-taking method, but most of the diseases that women who had just given birth could not easily ask a doctor to see were gynecological diseases, and gynecological diseases could not be taken by pulse at all, so she could only take off her clothes for examination.
She didn't dare to ask the prince's husband to strip naked for her examination, so she could only use the smart medical kit and supplement it with her own questioning.
As expected, the Crown Prince's wife had a serious gynecological inflammation. Feng Qingchen withdrew his hand, took the opportunity to take a look at the smart medical bag, and asked the Crown Prince's wife a few questions.
Just as Feng Qingchen had thought, the Crown Prince's wife had itchy lower body, yellow discharge and foreign matter, her menstruation was often watery and took several days to clear up, her body was not feeling well, there was a strong odor in her lower body, and her lower body was swollen, painful and uncomfortable during intercourse.
It would be fine if the prince's wife was like other wives and prepared a bunch of concubines and maids for her husband, but the prince of Ningguo Duke only had a wife like him and never had private affairs with the maids.
This made life difficult for the Crown Prince, who had to hold his beloved wife in his arms every day but could not move. The Crown Prince's wife was also in a headache. No matter how much incense she used, it was useless to remove the foreign object on her body. She did not dare let the Crown Prince get close to her, for fear that he would dislike the odor on her body. Feng Qingchen's arrival was undoubtedly a timely help.
"Madam, you should use less incense in normal times, especially for underwear. Just keep it fresh and clean. Incense is not good for your body. In addition, I will prescribe some medicine for you. You can ask someone to pick it up from my house. It will only take a few days to be cured." To show that she was serious, Feng Qingchen wrote down some precautions and medicines that should be taken more often.
"Use?" The Crown Prince's wife was quite puzzled. Isn't medicine meant to be taken orally?
"Try to take as little medicine as possible. The medicine I prepared for the Crown Prince's wife is for cleansing. You can use it first. If it doesn't work, I'll try again. If you don't take good care of yourself, it will be difficult for you to get pregnant. Even if you take pregnancy-inducing medicine, it won't be effective." Feng Qingchen subtly revealed the purpose of his visit today.
She had drugs that could induce pregnancy, and she didn't believe that such things would drive women crazy.
The Emperor used the Ninth Prince's mother to threaten the Ninth Prince, so she used women to annoy the Emperor to death.
The Crown Prince's wife's eyes lit up, she leaned forward and quickly grabbed Feng Qingchen's hands: "Miss Feng, you said there is a medicine that can make people pregnant faster?"
If there is such a thing, then the young lady that the Ningguo Mansion sent to the palace some time ago could get pregnant faster than others. Maybe the Ningguo Mansion could also become the prince's in-laws...
