Chapter 272 Zhao Lingmeng's carriage was stopped
Zhao Lingmeng handed the tools in her hand to Qiuyue, wiped her hands with a towel, and then began to admire her masterpiece. It seems that even though she hasn't done makeup for a long time and doesn't have as many products as in her previous life, her craftsmanship is still very good!
Qiuyue smiled and praised: "Your Highness, your cooking skills have taken away my job."
"Hahaha, don't worry, I won't steal your job. I think your makeup skills are also very good, I like it very much." Zhao Lingmeng comforted Qiuyue first before ordering the carriage to set off.
On the way, Zhao Lingmeng instructed Qiuyue to comb Fan Yong's hair like a maid's hair, and to perform the whole act.
It’s no wonder that Zhao Lingmeng is so cautious. In Zhao Lingmeng’s mind, Fan Yong’s martial arts skills are extremely high. I don’t know what mission he carried out that caused him to be so seriously injured. It’s better to be careful.
Zhao Lingmeng and his group walked faster for the rest of the journey. This was mainly because Fan Yong was seriously injured, and Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to delay him, so they didn't stop much along the way.
When they arrived at the east gate of Yuanjing, their carriage was stopped by a group of people. The guards around Zhao Lingmeng were also very nervous and immediately drew their weapons. The atmosphere was very tense. It felt like a fight would break out if the wrong words were spoken.
Chunshui gave Chunmu a look, and Chunmu immediately came to the front, "How dare you stop Princess Funing's car!"
The group was visibly stunned for a moment, and then a leader stepped forward. "Your humble servant greets Princess Funing. The Third Prince's villa was robbed last night. Your humble servant is following the Third Prince's orders to search the carriage. I hope the Princess will cooperate with your humble servant for the Third Prince's sake."
The leader was a confidant of the Third Prince, a fifth-rank military officer, Zhaowu Commandant Zhou Pingyuan, who usually acted in a domineering manner by relying on the Third Prince.
Although he heard that the carriage that was stopped was that of Princess Funing, he felt that Princess Funing was not the emperor's biological daughter, so how could she be as precious as the favored Third Prince?
As long as he mentioned the Third Prince, Princess Funing would give him face. Of course, he hadn't thought about how to search the princess's carriage, he just needed to open the carriage door and let them take a look.
Zhao Lingmeng's heart skipped a beat when she heard someone stopping the carriage. She immediately had Fan Yong lifted up and placed on the floor of the carriage, pretending that a maid was adjusting her skirt. Qiuyue also stood in front of the two of them, making it look even more like a real person.
But when she heard that it was the Third Prince's men, Zhao Lingmeng's upright body collapsed immediately. She was not afraid of people of the Third Prince's level at all.
In response, Chunmu kicked Zhou Pingyuan out directly. Chunmu said one word expressionlessly: "Get out!"
Zhou Pingyuan's men had not yet reacted when they saw their leader flying out and then hitting the city gate. Even the city gate made a thud, which showed how painful it was.
Immediately, someone with good eyesight rushed forward and helped Zhou Pingyuan, who was lying on the ground and unable to get up, saying, "Sir, sir..."
Zhou Pingyuan was helped up and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared angrily at Zhao Lingmeng's bicycle frame and said unwillingly, "Let's go."
It can be seen that Chunmu still has some sense of proportion. He only spat out a mouthful of blood and did not kill the victim.
Chunmu saw that the incident had happened and the people had left. He stood up and walked back to Zhao Lingmeng's carriage. He quickly got on the horse and said, "Your Highness, the people have left."
"Okay, let's go back too!"
Chunmu lightly ordered to set off, and then the carriage began to move forward. The people who were watching the excitement nearby instantly dispersed and moved far away.
Only after Zhao Lingmeng and his companions had driven away did the people nearby dare to discuss in a low voice.
One of the middle-aged men asked the person next to him: "Which mansion is this from? He is so arrogant that he even dares to beat up the Third Prince's people?"
The people next to him looked at him in surprise and said, "Didn't you see the logo on the carriage? It's from the Princess Funing's Mansion, the same princess who discovered cowpox."
The middle-aged man looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "That's her right to be so majestic!"
As for Zhao Lingmeng, as soon as the carriage entered the front yard of the mansion, the doctor was already waiting. Zhao Lingmeng immediately ordered the doctor to get on the carriage and take a look, while Zhao Lingmeng herself got off the carriage and waited!
Doctor Ma came down soon after. "Your Highness, there's probably no poisoning or anything, just external injuries. He should be able to wake up in ten days or half a month. After that, it depends on how the wound heals. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to drink first."
"Thank you, Doctor Ma. I've been very troubled by your recent efforts. If you need any other herbs for your research, please make a list and I'll have someone find them for you. Also, don't be stingy with the medicine, this man has a lot of money! When he wakes up, make a list of the herbs he used and I'll ask for them for you. You can triple the price."
Zhao Lingmeng's gratitude was never just lip service. It was usually genuine. But this time, since it was to save Lord Fan, of course, Lord Fan himself paid the lion's share.
This is also why Dr. Ma, despite his exceptional medical skills, refused to even enter the Imperial Hospital, preferring to stay at the Princess's residence. He has freedom of movement, and if he can't cure Zhao Lingmeng, he won't be unreasonable. Furthermore, Zhao Lingmeng is generous.
This time, because he had news about the medicinal ingredient that Doctor Ma had been looking for, he left the hot spring villa a day earlier and did not return with Zhao Lingmeng and the others.
As expected, when Doctor Ma heard His Highness say this, he immediately laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared. "Don't worry, Your Highness!"
Zhao Lingmeng felt relieved when she heard what Doctor Ma said. She then instructed Chunshui, "Put him in the front yard! Find two reliable people to take care of him. Use alcohol to disinfect the wound every time you change the dressing."
Zhao Houyang then joked, "Mom, put it in the front yard? Don't the stories say that women who save people will hide in their own yard?"
"Read less storybooks. The entire Princess Mansion is my territory, so it doesn't matter where I'm stationed. And Lord Fan is not a criminal, so there's no need to hide him. But none of you are allowed to tell anyone."
After Zhao Lingmeng gave instructions to the two younger ones, she turned her gaze to the people serving around.
They understood what the princess meant and immediately responded, "Yes!"
Zhao Ling dreamed that everything was settled, and after giving the two children a few words of advice, she took Qiuyue back to Menglinyuan. She was still tired after walking all day. Before leaving, she told the two children to take care of their own dinner and not to bother her.
After Zhao Lingmeng left, Yang Chengchen only left one confidant to clean up his own courtyard. He returned the gifts and went straight back to the eldest prince's mansion. He hadn't been back for half a year and he still missed his father and mother very much.
When Yang Chengchen took his men away, Zhao Houyang did not follow. He followed Chunshui and the others to see where Lord Fan was settled. After seeing that they were settled, he gave instructions to the servants around him before taking his men back to his own yard.
