Chapter 6 Tang Bao didn’t lie!
Prince Qing carried little Tangbao in his arms and ran all the way to the medicine house.
How could a child who could make his own prince care so much be an ordinary one? Doctor Xu immediately put down what he was doing and hurriedly welcomed the person into the house.
Even though they were mentally prepared, when Xiao Tangbao's clothes were undressed, everyone present gasped.
The child in front of him had his eyes tightly closed, and his ribs were clearly visible on his overly thin body.
In addition, her body was covered with scars, and her fingers and toes had many frostbite, which was really shocking.
Prince Qing was furious. He stared at the scars on the little kid's body without blinking, his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.
Even though he felt reluctant, he did not take his eyes off every part of her body as the court doctor treated her wounds.
He knew without the court doctor telling him that most of the injuries on the child's body, except for whipping and burns, were caused by beating with sticks.
How could it be that the servants of the Shen family, who were eating the food of their master, actually condoned two outsiders to do such a cruel thing to a child?
Damn it!
Damn them all!!
"How is Shengtian Mansion's investigation into the Shen family's affairs going?" Prince Qing's tone was cold enough to quench ice.
Chengfeng retracted his gaze and lowered his head to report, "Your Highness, Shen Ying'er was indeed wrongly accused. Before I returned, the prefect had already imprisoned all those involved in the case for murder, awaiting Your Highness's decision."
Xiao Tangbao's thick eyelashes trembled violently.
Prince Qing, who thought she was unconscious, suddenly narrowed his eyes and his clenched fists loosened a little.
"Your Highness, the bodies of Shen Fugui and his mother have been thrown into a mass grave by my subordinates. As for Shen Ying'er's body..."
"I know about Shen Ying'er's affairs." Prince Qing interrupted Chengfeng and stared at the little girl on the couch. "All servants of the Shen family will be executed. The rest will be dealt with according to the law."
"As for Shen Ying'er, whose whereabouts are unknown, you don't have to look for her anymore. If she knew that Tang Bao had been kept in my house, she would come looking for her."
"???" Didn't the prince know that Shen was dead? Why... Chengfeng suddenly looked up.
When he saw little Tangbao's eyes rolling around through his eyelids, he immediately understood his prince's intention.
"I understand! I'll take my leave."
What do you understand?
Why are you quitting?
So mother is not dead, right?
Why don’t you uncles explain yourself clearly?
Xiao Tangbao frowned, as if she was throwing a tantrum, and pursed her lips tightly, refusing anyone to pour the bitter medicine into her mouth.
Doctor Xu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at Prince Qing helplessly, holding the medicine bowl.
Unexpectedly, the man did not get angry. Instead, he took the medicine bowl and sat down beside the couch.
Everyone was so frightened that they made way for him and retreated to the door.
"I know you are pretending to be unconscious. It is not a good thing to lie to others. Do you want me to kick you out of Prince Qing's Mansion?" Prince Qing's voice was cold and heavy.
Xiao Tangbao's heart skipped a beat.
No, she doesn't want to be kicked out!
If Tangbao leaves here, where will mother go to find Tangbao in the future?
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. The little guy's mouth shrank into a crescent shape and he cried out "wow".
"Tang Bao didn't lie!"
"Uncle Prince, you can't wrongly accuse Tang Bao!"
Seeing that the little cricket pupa couldn't get up after several attempts, Prince Qing sighed and reached out to help her.
But she didn't expect to be pushed away by the grumpy little kid, "You don't care about Tang Bao, and you wrongly accuse Tang Bao. I don't need your help!"
Prince Qing was so distressed by her crying that he was about to get up and leave when he heard the little fellow confidently say, "Tang Bao was scared and in pain last night. He didn't even close his eyes the whole night."
"Tang Bao didn't pretend to be unconscious. He fell asleep because he was so sleepy. He was just woken up by the pain!"
Hearing her say this, Prince Qing's brows knitted into a knot. If she said she was too scared to sleep, he could understand, but Shen's medicine was so effective, how could this child be in pain all night?
etc……
Could it be...
The man looked at the little fellow's tearful eyes and asked in disbelief, "Did you give all the medicine your mother left for you to me?"
Seeing that the other party's attitude had improved, Xiao Tangbao nodded and responded softly.
She reached out and gently tapped the man's tightly knitted brows, a hint of worry on her skinny face, "Does your uncle have a headache again?"
"Don't be mean to Tang Bao. When Tang Bao's hand doesn't hurt anymore, make some pills for uncle."
"..." At this time, this child is still thinking about him? Prince Qing's hand holding the medicine trembled slightly.
He should have taken care of the child himself last night!
He himself didn't care about the person he brought back, so how could he expect those servants who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak to treat her well?
Almost...
It was just a little bit, and such a good child was almost killed by those bastards!
I'll order someone to skin that old woman alive later.
At this moment, Prince Qing had not yet realized it. Deep down in his heart, he had already determined that Tang Bao was his biological daughter.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Xiao Tangbao stretched out his hands wrapped in fine cloth, took the medicine bowl and began to gulp down the medicine.
That sensible look on his face makes people feel very distressed.
Seeing that the little girl was about to finish drinking the medicine while holding her breath, the man just reached out to take the medicine bowl, but she vomited with a "vomit".
Seeing that she had even vomited out her bitterness, everyone was shocked. For a moment, those who offered water offered water, those who offered handkerchiefs offered handkerchiefs...
The originally quiet room suddenly became busy.
“Wow—”
"S-Sorry! Tangbao's stomach hurts, Tangbao didn't mean it..."
Doctor Xu was in his early fifties. His face, which was originally very kind, turned ashen in an instant when he heard Xiao Tangbao say that she had a stomachache.
"Young Master, didn't you have dinner last night?"
"Wuwuwuwu..." Little Tangbao covered his stomach and shook his head, his face full of sadness, "Tangbao hasn't eaten in a long time. Uncle, uncle only allows Tangbao to drink cold rice soup..."
? !!
There was a "boom" in Xu Fuyi's head, and his legs went weak and he knelt down.
How could it be possible? He had clearly confirmed it. The housekeeper said that the child had eaten last night. Otherwise, how could he have prescribed such a strong medicine for her...
"Your Majesty, calm down! I am guilty and I deserve to die!"
"No, no, no, don't blame Doctor Grandpa..." Little Tang Bao hurriedly said to the man, "It's not that Doctor Grandpa doesn't feed Tang Bao. Doctor Grandpa is very kind. He is afraid that Tang Bao will feel pain, so he has been feeding her gently..."
Doctor Xu looked at the little baby on the couch with gratitude, and his heart was almost melted.
He swore that if the prince spared his life today and kept him in the palace, he would take good care of the child in the future!
"..." Prince Qing was about to say something when a strange singing voice suddenly came from outside.
"The emperor has given an order, please accept it, Your Highness Prince Qing—"
Why did the emperor think of him so early in the morning?
Prince Qing pushed the door open and saw a team of palace guards at first glance.
He had just led the others to kneel when he heard the pale-faced eunuch say, "The emperor has issued an order, ordering the imperial physicians to immediately examine the paternity of the two children in His Highness's household. There should be no delay."
