Chapter 424 New drama
After Feng Yanzhen left in a huff, Zhen Yuanzheng said to Tang Yichen beside him, "It's my fault for not governing strictly enough that Yixiao got into this trouble. But don't worry, Master Tang. If Prince Zhong must kill someone to vent his anger, I'm old enough to let him do it, and I won't let him hurt Yixiao even a hair. Even if he's Prince Zhong, he can't disregard the law and treat the life of the imperial physician as worthless."
"Master Zhen, tell me the truth, is my brother's prescription really effective?" Tang Yichen asked.
The Tang family's carriage was outside. After he invited Zhen Yuanzheng to get in, he followed suit. After they were both seated, Zhen Yuanzheng began to speak.
"Princess Yuanying has sustained a fundamental injury. Unless there is a miraculous elixir or medicine, how can she be cured?"
"Did that kid prescribe random medicine?"
"It's not a random prescription. It can regulate her body, but it will also make her suffer excruciating pain. That guy deliberately made Princess Yuanying suffer so that she would stop the treatment herself."
Prince Zhong was overbearing and wouldn't accept any negative outcome. However, humans weren't gods, and couldn't be omnipotent. Since he couldn't accept it, they had to find a way to make him accept it. Only after they had personally experienced the pain would they completely give up.
Tang Yichen understood.
It turned out to be a deadlock from the beginning. The only way to break this deadlock was to force the opponent to retreat first. Only when the opponent retreated could they move forward.
But doing so is also very risky.
As expected, he has grown up and become braver.
Tang Yichen sent Zhen Yuanzheng back first.
When he came back, Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu were looking out the gate. Seeing the Tang family's carriage coming back, the two sisters came to greet them.
"Where's my little brother?"
After Tang Yichen got off the car, Tang Luwu lifted the curtain and looked inside. Finding that there was no one inside, she turned around and asked Tang Yichen.
"Let's go in first."
Tang Yichen looked at what the two were wearing and said, "Why don't you wear more clothes?"
"We were so anxious waiting that we were filled with anger and didn't feel the cold at all." Qin Huiyin said, "Brother, am I okay?"
"It's okay for now."
"What do you mean everything's fine right now?" Tang Luwu grabbed Tang Yichen's arm. "Brother, don't keep us in suspense. Yinyin and I are so anxious that we've got blisters in our mouths."
Tang Yichen stopped and was about to speak when he saw Li Taohua and Tang Dafu standing opposite him. They hadn't changed their clothes yet and were wearing the clothes they had just worn to the night market. They were obviously waiting for news from Tang Yixiao.
"Everyone come in and talk." Tang Dafu said, "Your mother also wants to know about Xiao Ge'er's situation."
After a few people entered, the maid left.
"Brother Chen, what's the situation now?" Li Taohua asked.
"Prince Zhong asked me to stay in the palace and leave when Princess Yuanying's injury is healed. I said it would take a month, so Prince Zhong let me stay for a month."
"He's so overbearing! Is there no one who can control him?" Tang Dafu said angrily, "Aren't you the Chief Censor? You can file a complaint with the Emperor and let him make the decision."
Li Taohua glared at Tang Dafu.
Tang Dafu felt guilty and said, "Is it not possible? He, the Chief Censor, can't see the emperor?"
"Prince Zhong, to be given the title of Zhongqin, do you think he holds a high position in the Emperor's sight?" Li Taohua said unhappily, "When the Emperor was assassinated, Prince Zhong blocked a poisoned knife and nearly killed him. The Emperor, grateful for his life-saving grace, has always been particularly indulgent towards him. This is also the reason why his daughter and son are so domineering. They are confident and not afraid of your complaints."
"What should we do now? Are we just going to wait here and do nothing, leaving my younger brother worried?" Tang Luwu asked.
Pairs of eyes looked at Tang Yichen.
Now he is the one who calls the shots at home.
Tang Yichen said, "That guy is very brave. He dared to agree to this matter, which shows that he knows what he is doing. No matter what, he will be safe within this month. We have a month to find a solution for him. It's too late today, you should go to bed early."
"I contacted the elder brother of the Song family today." Qin Huiyin said, "I asked him to help keep an eye on the movements at Prince Zhong's Mansion. If he finds that my younger brother is in danger, he should notify us immediately."
Tang Yichen nodded: "Okay, no matter what, I appreciate your kindness."
There was no point in being anxious now. Since they were in Prince Zhong's mansion, they could only continue to keep an eye on the situation. As Tang Yichen had said, Tang Yixiao needed a month, so at least this month was safe.
Besides, Tang Yichen could always visit and check on Tang Yixiao's situation. Furthermore, the Imperial Hospital wouldn't turn a blind eye. With Song Ruize's people around, Tang Yixiao's life was relatively secure.
The next day, Qin Huiyin handed a note to Chang Xiaohuan.
Among the noble ladies, only Chang Xiaohuan is honest.
Chang Xiaohuan came over in person, and when he saw Qin Huiyin, he smiled and said, "I'm worried about what to wear today. Come and help me."
Qin Huiyin laughed: "It seems that I came here by chance. Are you going to play somewhere?"
"Some of my cousins invited me to go on an outing," Chang Xiaohuan said. "There aren't many activities on weekdays, so we sisters decided to have fun together to relieve boredom. We're all women about to get married, and if we don't have fun now, we'll never have any fun in the future. While we're still free from the burden of managing the household and the constraints of the backyard, of course we can have as much fun as we want."
"Okay, then I have to dress you up nicely so that they can see how good you look." Qin Huiyin matched clothes for Chang Xiaohuan.
"It's rare for you to come visit me, so come and play with me! My cousins' families don't hold high positions, so they're not arrogant, and it's very comfortable to get along with them. I see you're easygoing too. You're so constrained by those usual banquets, so why not just go on a leisurely outing with us?"
"I came here this time because I have something I want to inquire about." Qin Huiyin said, "Sister Chang, do you know that Princess Yuanying was injured?"
"Such a big thing, who in the capital doesn't know about it?" Chang Xiaohuan said, "I heard it was terrible when he fell, and was stepped on by the horse's hoof. The screams scared away all the nearby birds."
Chang Xiaohuan noticed that Qin Huiyin looked a little strange and asked, "Why are you asking about her?"
"My brother is a doctor, and he happened to be invited by Prince Zhong's Mansion to see Princess Yuanying. He was told that if Princess Yuanying can't be cured within a month, he won't be able to come out." Qin Huiyin said worriedly, "I want to know if Princess Yuanying's injuries are serious. If not, my brother must be safe. But from what you said, I'm afraid..."
Chang Xiaohuan frowned: "This is too overbearing."
I have to talk about this matter with my cousins when I see them later.
