Sickish Prince is Scheming - C323
Dongfang Hao smiled. “Even if you go and find Empress Chen now, I’m afraid it will be useless. Let’s think of something else.”
“Just as you said, there’s no time right now. We still need to think about how I don’t know any of the generals in the court, how could I possibly move in here to help?” Shang Yiqing grumbled, her mind was muddled. How could it be so easy to think of a solution?
Ying Ying looked at the two of them and thought for a moment before replying, “My big brother’s relationship with Commander Liu of the imperial guards has always been pretty good. Should I go talk to Commander Liu first?”
“No need …” Dongfang Hao stopped her. “Although we’ve investigated and found the information, there’s no conclusive evidence. Even if you find Commander Liu, will he believe your words? It’s hard to say if he’s willing to help you.”
Ying Ying was at a loss for words. She had never thought about this matter before. She had never thought that palace struggles would be so close to her. She had never thought that dangers were everywhere, let alone that she would be involved in it.
The three of them fell into deep thought and did not speak any further.
The sky was cloudy, layers of clouds were rolling up to the horizon. The weather had become very cold, and there was a gloomy feeling in the dim light. It was like rain, yet not rain, yet not snow. Originally, it was the beginning of the autumn’s end and winter. Who would have thought that the first snow would come so soon! In a few minutes, it was unknown whether it was the raindrops or the snow mixed together, falling down from the sky, the cold air blew on people’s bodies, making them feel as if their bodies were soaked in cold water.
Shang Yiqing hugged her shoulder and winced her head as she said softly, “The sky changes as it pleases, it’s freezing people.”
“That’s right!” Ying Ying glanced at her with a smile. “You woke up too early, so you definitely didn’t eat anything. I had the kitchen prepare porridge, and now I’ll get a maidservant to bring it over for you to have a taste.”
“Mm …” Shang Yiqing smiled faintly. In terms of care, Ying Ying was much stronger than her. She was always this careless, but Ying Ying was so considerate and considerate. She believed that she would definitely be a good wife in the future!
Dongfang Hao also felt Ying Ying’s care and couldn’t help but smile. When he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Manager Li walking in in in a hurry with a letter in his hand. He said, “Princess Rong, someone sent a letter over. Please take a look.”
Shang Yiqing took the letter and read it. Her face changed drastically, and her hand that held the letter started to tremble. Upon seeing this, Ying Ying hurriedly asked, “Did something happen?”
“Hateful, King Xuan actually sent people to arrest my father!” Ever since she was transported here, Shang Tiancheng’s love for her had always been great. He had long been like a father to Shang Tiancheng in her heart, how could she not be anxious?
Ying Ying became nervous as well. “What?” Imperial Physician Shang was captured by King Xuan? ” Was this obviously King Xuan using this to threaten Shang Yiqing? This King Xuan was truly ruthless!
“I don’t care about all that. I want to save my father!” Shang Yiqing threw the letter away and rushed out, disregarding everything else. At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind, she had to save his father. King Xuan had done this to his own brothers, and he had no idea what despicable tricks he would use on his father!
“Wait …” Dongfang Hao moved in front of Shang Yiqing to block his way: “Rao Wangfei, don’t be so agitated yet. Calm down and think about it first, whether King Xuan really did capture the Shang Tian Doctor, or did he trick you to distract our attention!”
“Dongfang Hao, with King Xuan’s character, I have complete confidence that he’ll do something like this. He won’t even let his own brother off. Will he easily pass my father?” Shang Yiqing was incoherent with anger, and almost jumped up in anger.
When Ying Ying heard Dongfang Hao’s words, she felt they made sense and hurried to persuade Shang Yiqing. “Imperial Concubine Rong, don’t be anxious. Let’s send someone to the Imperial Physician’s office to investigate and see what the people there have to say. It won’t be too late to make plans after that. Dongfang Hao’s words are not unreasonable! ”
She really didn’t know who to believe, but his father being taken by someone else had thrown her into confusion. She was never a calm person, and she did things recklessly, so how could she be able to calm down and point to the channel on the ground? “I don’t care anymore, I just want to see the place specified in the letter. No matter what, I can’t ignore the fact that he raised me to such an extent!” As he spoke, he continued to charge forward.
This time, Ying Ying stood in front of her as well. “Consort Rong, please think carefully. Could this be a trap set up by King Xuan to lure you in?” As he spoke, he turned towards Manager Li and instructed, “Manager Li, send someone to the Imperial Physician’s estate right now to see if Imperial Physician Shang is there. You must return as soon as possible.”
“This old servant understands.” Seeing that Shang Yiqing was panicking, Manager Li was anxious as well. He couldn’t wait to find out more information, so he didn’t linger and left.
“No!” “I want to go as well …” Shang Yiqing hurriedly struggled out of the door. If not for Ying Ying desperately holding her hand, she would have broken free long ago.
“Princess Rong, calm down a bit. It won’t be too late for us to go when Manager Li finds out.” Dongfang Hao stopped her. Although everyone could understand Shang Yiqing’s feelings, she was too rash to do so!
How could Shang Yiqing be willing to listen? She was so anxious that even Ying Ying couldn’t hold herself back, so she called over Xiaoyi to help her hold her back. “Royal Consort Rong, impulses can’t solve a problem. Even if Prince Xuan really catches the Imperial Physician, we have to think of a foolproof plan. His goal is to lure you out and finish you off …” Ying Ying said earnestly, “You also know that King Xuan will take action before Prince Rong’s army returns. Prince Rong’s army will return to Southern Marsh Country in a few days. He will definitely take action. You must not fall into his trap!”
“What Ying Ying said is right. What King Xuan did is to avoid throwing at the rat. We must not fall into his trap.” As Dongfang Hao spoke to here, he glanced outside the window at the snowflakes. Previously, the rainwater and the snow had been mixed together, but now, these snowflakes were drifting down and turning into water as they fell onto the ground.
Shang Yiqing covered her face with both her hands as she thought, “Father, please don’t let anything happen to you!” Fang Zinan, come back quickly. I can’t do anything without you by my side. It seems like I don’t have a mind!
Seeing that Shang Yiqing had finally calmed down, Ying Ying let go of her hands and sighed. It was not that she didn’t know Shang Yiqing’s impulsiveness, but now that she did, she knew how terrifying it was!
Time passed slowly, and Shang Yiqing felt that everything was in disarray. Although Shang Tiancheng was not her father, he had raised her for many years and was extremely fond of her. How could she not be worried?
More than an hour later, General Manager Li sent that person back to report, “Reporting to wangfei, Imperial Physician Shang said he was going to the palace to prescribe medicine for the empress to recuperate her body. He hasn’t returned to the palace yet, and according to the eunuchs’ reports, Imperial Physician Shang never went to the palace at all.”
Hearing the servant’s reply, Shang Yiqing’s face turned pale. She waved her hands and straightened her neck, “My father must have been captured by King Xuan. He must have been captured!” He then stood up, “I want to save my father! I want to save dad! ”
Dongfang Hao grabbed her hand and said urgently, “Princess Consort Rong, calm down. Even if we know that the imperial physician has been captured by King Xuan, not only will we not be able to save him, we might even lose our lives!”
