Sitting in the carriage, Lin Jinghan tried hard to pull her hand back, but she couldn't pull it out at all. She said angrily, "I'm going to save people, what are you doing?"
"I'm worried about you going alone." Sikong Zhan pointed to the sword-shaped emblem on the carriage, "This is the carriage of the General's Mansion."
Lin Jinghan was wearing a veil, so naturally no one would recognize her. If she were to go alone to save the person, the general would definitely drive her away if she revealed her identity. If she did not reveal her identity, if the general knew that it was Princess Jingnan who saved the person, who knows what he would do.
Therefore, he had to go with them so that Qi Guang would know early on that it was Princess Jingnan who saved people, and he would not be able to stop her!
"So what if it's the General's Mansion? I'm going there to save people, not to fight." Lin Jinghan disagreed.
"The general is on the emperor's side and is at odds with me. I'm worried they might harm you. Besides, since they dared to come to my clinic and ask my princess to deliver his wife's baby, they should be prepared to arouse the emperor's suspicion."
It turned out that this man was trying to trick the emperor and the general. Lin Jinghan shrank back: This man is too dangerous.
She just wanted to save someone, but he wanted to use this to cheat her. Although she was happy to be able to cheat the emperor, she felt uncomfortable when she thought about him changing the nature of her medical treatment.
The carriage moved quickly but steadily and soon arrived at the General's Mansion.
The steward of the General's Mansion was already pacing anxiously at the door. When he saw the people sent out to call for the doctor, he hurried over and said, "My wife is in critical condition. Doctor, please follow me to save her."
"Tell me about your wife's situation quickly." Lin Jinghan jumped out of the carriage swiftly, and Sikong Zhan followed closely behind.
The presence of Prince Jingnan was so overwhelming that the butler looked up and saw him. It took him a moment to realize it was Prince Jingnan! He was so frightened that his legs gave way and he nearly fell, but a servant nearby had good sense and supported him.
He finally found his voice and stammered, "Jing, Jing, King Jingnan?"
Sikong Zhan regained his usual cold demeanor as the Prince of Jingnan. "You invited me so sincerely. My princess is kind-hearted and can't bear to see your wife die. Even though she's sick, she's here to help your wife give birth. Why don't you lead the way?"
Prince Jingnan wanted to enter the General's Mansion, but they invited him in. How could a steward like him stop him? Besides, they were there to rescue someone!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please come this way!" The butler quickly asked the servants to support him and took difficult steps. At the same time, he winked at the people beside him, indicating that they should go and find the general: this matter was not something he could decide!
Soon, General Qi Guang rushed over. His eyes were red, his eye sockets were black, and he looked haggard. It seemed that he must have had a very hard time during the two days when his wife was in labor.
But when he faced Sikong Zhan, he showed no sign of fatigue, and his tone remained firm.
"The people below are ignorant. I am sorry to trouble Prince Jingnan and Princess. My house is busy right now, so I will not entertain you."
Lin Jinghan came to save the man out of kindness, but the man didn't appreciate her kindness at all and wanted to drive her away. She immediately became furious.
"Since you've made a special trip to Huichun Hall to invite this princess here, how could you send the doctor away before even seeing the patient?! Could it be that the general would rather see your wife die than let this princess save her?"
It was his subordinates who had suggested going to Huichun Hall to seek out a doctor, and he had agreed. But he had no idea that the people being invited over were actually the Prince and Princess Jingnan! If he had known this would happen, he would never have let anyone go to Huichun Hall!
If he asked Princess Jingnan to deliver the baby for his wife today, regardless of success or failure, the world would think that he had a close relationship with Prince Jingnan. He knew very well how much the emperor feared Prince Jingnan, and he would definitely be suspected by the emperor because of this.
Therefore, his first thought was to cut off his relationship with Prince Jingnan, and he never thought that the Princess Jingnan in front of him could help his wife survive.
It is said that it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. Given the temperament of Prince Jingnan, since he had followed me on purpose, it would be difficult to send him away easily. Qi Guang was in a great trouble. He looked at Princess Jingnan, thought about his future, and made up his mind.
"Princess Jingnan is so young and has never even been pregnant before, how can she possibly know how to deliver a baby? Besides, life and death are determined by fate. Whether my wife can survive this or not depends on God's will. You two, please return!"
He had known for a long time that Xiang Yuanqing was in Prince Jingnan's Mansion, and it wasn't that he hadn't thought about asking him to save people. However, if he wanted to ask him, he would have to go to Prince Jingnan's Mansion and become associated with Prince Jingnan, and his official career would be over. So, he decisively gave up this way of saving people. As long as it wasn't the last moment, he would never get on Lin Jinghan's path again!
This is what a man is like. Once he makes up his mind, everything else must take a back seat to his future, even his wife and unborn child!
"General, have you really thought it through? If I were to rescue them, your wife and child might not be beyond saving! I am sure that as long as your wife and child are still alive, I am 80% sure that I can save them." Lin Jinghan was very angry:
His wife fought tooth and nail to bear him a child, but he didn't even give her a chance to save her life in order to avoid suspicion. This is simply irresponsible to his wife and child! How despicable is such a man! How could such a man actually hold the position of a general? Could such a general truly have sympathy for the ordinary soldiers under his command?
If she hadn't thought about the poor woman and child struggling between life and death, she would have stormed out immediately!
The general's expression relaxed a little, but when he thought about his future, the balance in his heart began to tilt towards power again.
At this moment, a woman came running over in a panic and shouted to the general from a distance, "General, it's bad! The lady has fainted. The doctor said that both the child and the mother may not be able to be saved!"
"Forget it, Jinghan, since the general doesn't care about his wife's life or death, why should we outsiders worry about it? Your body hasn't recovered yet, it's not suitable for you to travel outside for a long time, let's go home." Sikong Zhan looked at Lin Jinghan gently, and glanced at the general with disdain.
"Tomorrow, if rumors spread in the capital that the general is heartless and ungrateful, disregarding his wife's life and refusing to see the doctor who came to save her, I hope that the general will not cry bitterly while holding his wife's cold body."
This is a threat, a blatant threat.
After saying that, he pulled Lin Jinghan up and was about to leave.
