When to start treatment?
Of course, she hoped to wait for the Ninth Prince to come out before treating Cui Haoting. However, when the Ninth Prince would come out was a big question. It could be ten days, half a month, or even a year and a half.
After all, the Ninth Prince's crime was serious, and it didn't mean that the Cui and Wang families' efforts would be of any use. However, Cui Haoting's illness could not be delayed any longer. If it was delayed any further, she wouldn't even be 30% sure of being cured, let alone 70%.
If Cui Haoting died because of this, not only would the Cui family not let her go, she herself would not be able to forgive herself. Threatening Cui Haoting for the Ninth Prince was one thing, but killing Cui Haoting for the Ninth Prince was another.
Of course, the sooner the surgery is done, the better. If possible, Feng Qingchen really wants to have the surgery tomorrow: "If Master Cui has no objection, Qingchen hopes that it will be done as soon as possible. It will be disadvantageous to you if you delay any further. Tomorrow, after I meet the eldest master, I will diagnose you and set a time for treatment."
A gentleman honors his promise. Feng Qingchen was not worried at all that Cui Haoting would not help after he recovered from his illness, nor was he worried that no one in the Cui family would help during Cui Haoting's recovery.
Since she was treating Cui Haoting, someone from the Cui family would naturally come forward to cooperate with the Wang family. Cui Haoting's body was not suitable for hard work.
These words were completely from Cui Haoting's perspective and for Cui Haoting's sake. Cui Haoting felt very comfortable after hearing them: "Miss Feng is really straightforward."
Although being threatened by Feng Qingchen was not a pleasant thing, Feng Qingchen's frankness and trust made Cui Haoting feel much better.
After the matter was settled, Cui Haoting had no reason to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and left. When he returned to his house, he sent Yuan Ji to pass the news to the Cui family, asking the old lady of the Cui family to send a capable person over and mobilize the Cui family's forces in Dongling.
The Cui family has been in seclusion for decades, and has been gathering strength during these decades. In recent years, the Cui family has recovered its vitality, and it is time to come out. Cooperating with the Wang family to save the Ninth Prince is an opportunity for the Cui family, an opportunity to come out, otherwise Cui Haoting would not have agreed to it reluctantly.
Just as Cui Haoting said, the Cui family is not so easy to threaten. If the Cui family really takes action, he has a hundred ways to force Feng Qingchen to save him. He has weaknesses, and Feng Qingchen does too.
In this world, no one will work for anyone for nothing. Not even the Cui family and not even Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen is planning to work for the Cui family, so why wouldn't the Cui family be taking this opportunity to step out? No one will do something that has no benefits.
Cui Haoting's matter was dealt with, and Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief. With the Cui family and the Wang family joining forces, even the emperor would have to be wary. Coupled with the power of the Ninth Prince himself, the Ninth Prince should come out soon.
Things have to be done step by step, and meals have to be eaten bite by bite. Feng Qingchen was anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He had to plan everything slowly.
Huh... Feng Qingchen let out a breath and rubbed his sore eyes. He had not slept well in the Sky Prison. It was not because he was afraid of the cold, but because he simply did not dare to sleep.
On the first night in the Heavenly Prison, someone broke into her cell in the middle of the night, looking for the phoenix hairpin. Fortunately, she had already put the phoenix hairpin into the smart medical bag, otherwise she would be charged with losing the imperial gift and she would be afraid that she would be sent to the Heavenly Prison again.
In the carriage, when Su Rou asked, she was not lying.
Feng Qingchen yawned, picked up the strong tea on the table and took a sip, then called Tong Jue and Tong Yao in.
She had been in the Sky Prison for ten days, completely isolated from the outside world. She had to know what had happened during these ten days, otherwise how could she talk to Wang Jinling tomorrow.
Although Tong Jue and Tong Yao were capable, there were limits to what they could find out. Apart from the well-known incident of the Duke's Mansion being raided, they only vaguely learned about the explosions in several mountains close to the imperial city.
The Emperor said that it was the Duke of Zhenguo who did it, and the two of them also found out a little about the rumor, but the Emperor kept it secret too tightly, and the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling also restrained themselves a little in the past ten days, so the rumor did not spread.
But no matter what, this is still a hidden danger, and it might erupt someday.
"The Duke's Mansion was actually raided. They are lucky for the whole family." Feng Qingchen was not happy that the Duke's Mansion was in bad luck.
She had to avenge herself. She had a lot of grudges with the Duke's Mansion. It was a lot less fun for her to lose the Duke's Mansion so easily. But what else could she do since the Duke's Mansion no longer existed?
This can be considered a great revenge. One day she will go to Xiaozhi's grave to burn some incense and tell him about this so that he can rest in peace.
Tong Jue and Tong Yao smiled at each other. Indeed, it was definitely better for the Duke's Mansion to be raided than for it to fall into the hands of the young lady.
"Send people to the villages and towns near those mountains to inquire and see if there is any news or explanation." After Feng Qingchen sorted out the major and minor trivial matters that had occurred in the past ten days, he finally focused his attention on this matter.
She always felt that this matter was not simple.
No matter the emperor is in power or not, he likes to create some auspicious signs to prove that he is the one chosen by heaven. The simultaneous explosion of five mountains is not an auspicious sign. Even if the emperor says that it was the Duke of Zhenguo who blew it up, the people will not believe it. They will only think that it is the displeasure of heaven and that he has offended Tai Sui.
If someone with ulterior motives spread the news, they would say that the emperor has lost his moral integrity.
This is a good opportunity!
Tong Jue and Tong Yao were not stupid. When they heard Feng Qingchen say this, they also understood that there was a loophole to exploit. The two girls nodded repeatedly, their eyes shining: "Miss, do you think we should also create some trouble?"
"Okay, do you have any good suggestions?" Feng Qingchen looked at the two of them with a playful look on his face. These two girls were too naive. They really thought that this chaos was easy to create. Not to mention whether they had the manpower and material resources, just thinking about creating chaos, what would happen? The information here was not well developed. If they didn't handle it properly, the chaos would be covered up soon.
The term "whitewashing the truth" is specially prepared for emperors.
"Uh..." The two girls thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. They lowered their heads dejectedly. They thought too simply.
Feng Qingchen had no intention of making things difficult for them. He smiled and told them to go back and rest: "Okay, you've been frightened these past few days. Go back and have a good rest. You'll be busy tomorrow."
Feng Qingchen herself was also very sleepy, but she couldn't fall asleep yet. She planned to go to Feng Mansion at night. Some things could not be rushed, but some things could not be delayed any longer.
There has been constant unrest outside for ten days, and Zhai Dongming should have prepared everything she wanted. Many of those things were used to deceive people, but many of them were also useful. She would go to Feng Mansion tonight to check it out and clean it up.
After Tong Jue and Tong Yao left, Feng Qingchen called out the secret guard and asked him to take him to Feng Mansion.
What? The dark guard's eyes suddenly widened and he took a step back in fear.
Why is he so unlucky!
"What's wrong?" Feng Qingchen asked in confusion. These secret guards have always been like ice cubes, rarely showing human emotions. It was really weird to see them out of control.
"No, no. Are you going now, young lady?" The secret guard shook his head repeatedly and cried secretly.
Could he tell Feng Qingchen that the secret guard who carried Feng Qingchen to Feng Mansion last time was rewarded handsomely by the master in the name of protecting her wholeheartedly?
He could tell Feng Qingchen that the master's reward was more terrible than the punishment.
Wuwuwu... He didn't want to be rewarded heavily, but he couldn't refuse Feng Qingchen's request, otherwise he would definitely get a "heavy" reward...
