The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Chapter 418 Linze's Flash of Light

"Your Majesty, please understand my love for my daughter." Zhenguo Gong said.

Xie Rong sighed slightly, as if expressing deep regret, and said, "Since you insist on doing this, this is a reward for you, and I cannot go against your wishes. So, let's do as you say."

"Speaking of which, although Princess Pingning isn't by your side, her temperament is very similar to yours. She's equally...bold and fearless, and hates evil with a vengeance. Princess Pingning has made significant contributions to suppressing the rebellion, and I should reward her generously."

"You've been away from the capital for several months, and I'm sure you're eager to return home. I won't keep you any longer. Come home and reunite with us soon. As for our relationship as monarch and subject, it's a long journey. The rewards will arrive at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion soon, so you can go back first."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." The Duke of Zhenguo bowed and retreated respectfully.

It was not until his figure disappeared in the Taiji Hall that the corners of Xie Rong's mouth gradually relaxed and his eyes returned to indifference.

"Oh, you're still so cautious."

He slowly turned around, walked towards the dragon table, and sat down on the dragon chair.

His expression was gloomy and unclear, and the jade ring on his thumb was spinning rapidly. It was unknown what he was thinking.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Suddenly, he spoke, "Li Shunquan."

"The slave is here."

Li Shunquan, who had been on edge, immediately stepped forward and responded.

He heard the monarch on the dragon throne ask, "How is the Fifth Prince's poison being cured?"

Li Shunquan had been keeping an eye on the Fifth Prince's movements. When Xie Rong asked about it, Li Shunquan immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince's health has improved considerably and is no different from that of an ordinary person."

"Doctor Pei said that the remaining toxins in the body can be completely eliminated within the next two days."

"Oh?" Xie Rong laughed in an ambiguous tone. "The Fifth Prince recovered so quickly. Doctor Pei is truly capable. With such talent, I must reward him handsomely."

"Please pay close attention to the Fifth Prince. Once the remaining poison in the Fifth Prince is completely eliminated, inform me immediately. I will personally reward him."

"Yes, I obey your command." Li Shunquan bowed in response, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.

……

A carriage was parked in an alley not far from Prince Rui's Palace.

Shen Qionghua looked at the magnificent gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, and she hesitated to move forward.

Shaoyao looked at Shen Qionghua, who had been struggling for two quarters of an hour, and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are we going in yet?"

Shen Qionghua looked at Shaoyao and explained uncomfortably, "I was thinking that Prince Rui had helped the Shen family a lot. He was injured, so I should come to visit him. I sent Xiyao away because I was afraid she would overthink things and start talking nonsense. She always wants to cause chaos in the world."

Regardless of what Shaoyao was thinking, she remained calm and said with a smile, "Miss, this is what I saved you. This is what you should do. You don't have to explain it to me."

Shen Qionghua: “…”

Why do I feel like this explanation makes me seem even more guilty?

Faced with Shaoyao's increasingly strange gaze, Shen Qionghua finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

She took a deep breath and was about to go forward and knock on the door of Prince Rui's Mansion when she saw the door open slightly and a familiar figure walked out.

It’s Linze.

Shen Qionghua's eyes lit up.

Immediately ask Shaoyao to call the person over.

Linze knew Shaoyao and knew that she was Shen Qionghua's personal maid, so he followed Shaoyao easily.

Lin Ze was extremely shocked when he saw Shen Qionghua in the alley.

"County Lady, you...why are you here? Are you here to see the Prince? Why don't you come into the palace? I'll go inform the Prince right away. He'll be very happy to know that you've arrived!"

As Lin Ze spoke, he excitedly went to tell Xie Nanyuan, and Shen Qionghua was so frightened that she quickly called out to him, "Wait a minute!"

Lin Ze paused and turned to look at Shen Qionghua.

Shen Qionghua coughed lightly and said, "You don't have to go and inform the prince specifically. I... I just heard that the prince's injuries have worsened in recent days and he can't get out of bed. I happened to be on a business trip today and passed by the Rui Palace. It was only right for me to come and inquire about it."

"Just... just a brief understanding of the prince's injuries. Just tell me what you think. I won't bother the prince again, so as not to disturb his recovery..."

Finally, he added hurriedly, "You don't need to tell the prince about this. It's more important for him to rest and recuperate."

"Is the prince so injured that he can't get out of bed?" A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Ze's eyes. He was about to ask Shen Qionghua with a smile where she heard the rumor from, but suddenly stopped.

When he turned his eyes and looked at Shen Qionghua again, that silly smile had disappeared completely. His eyes were filled with three parts sadness and seven parts worry, and his face was full of frustration.

He sighed softly and lowered his voice, "Yes, the prince is indeed injured and can't get off the bed. He needs to be served by others when eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. The imperial physician said that his injuries are too severe and he can't move around casually, so as not to disturb the wound and affect its healing."

Seeing Lin Ze speak so seriously, Shen Qionghua's eyes were filled with worry, "How could this be?"

She looked at Lin Ze and asked carefully, "I heard from Xiyao that his fatal wound was in his chest. Will he be fine after the wound heals? Did the imperial physician say whether there will be any sequelae?"

It turned out that Princess Pingning was the one who was meddling in the matter.

Linze said secretly.

Seeing Shen Qionghua's anxious look, Linze decided to add fuel to the fire.

He said with a bitter face: "I dare not deceive the county lady. Our prince has a hard life!"

"When I disappeared, I was rescued by an old man. Although I saved my life, I was seriously injured. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken me so long to recuperate before I could contact the Duke."

"There's been constant fighting at the border, and there's a shortage of medical care and medicine. The prince was preoccupied with the war, so how could he rest and recuperate? Then he raided the Chen Kingdom's grain reserves, and his injuries never fully healed."

"Later, he was implicated in Lin's collusion with the State of Chen. As soon as the war ended, he hurriedly brought the criminal back to the capital, traveling day and night. How could he get enough rest?"

"I originally recuperated in the capital for a few days, with the help of the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital. My injuries have mostly healed, except for the chest wound which is a bit troublesome and needs to be taken care of."

"But who knew that the injury would suddenly worsen? County Lady, didn't you see that the blood seeping out had soaked through the thick gauze and stained the clothes? The wound was even oozing pus!"

As Lin Ze spoke, he pretended to pinch his sleeves to wipe away the tears that didn't exist at the corners of his eyes, while secretly looking at Shen Qionghua's expression.

Seeing Shen Qionghua's distressed face, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Shen Qionghua frowned, looking panicked. "How could it be so serious? When did his injury start to worsen?"

"Ah, let me think about it." Lin Ze counted on his fingers and said, "It was probably the day after Madam Shen and Master Shen were assassinated."

Shen Qionghua: “…”

So the wound got worse, couldn't it really be because she pushed him that night?

Is she really that strong?

The wound is bleeding and pus is oozing out?

Concern made her confused. Under Linze's deliberate description, Shen Qionghua had lost her ability to make normal judgments and could not recall at all how hard she had used to push him that night.

She only knew that Xie Nanyuan's injuries had worsened, were very serious, and were most likely caused by her.

Shen Qionghua twirled the handkerchief in her hand, her face solemn. Just as she was about to ask something else, she saw Lin Ze suddenly hurried out of the alley.

"Hey, I'm here! I'm here! Did something happen to the prince again?" Lin Ze was thinking about what to do next when he saw a guard coming out of the palace. A light bulb went off in his head and he immediately came up with a good idea.

He strode up to the guard, who looked stunned and bewildered. Just as he was about to call out "Sir," he heard Lin Ze lower his voice and say, "Don't say anything. Return to the mansion immediately and remove all the guards and servants between the mansion gate and the prince's study. Act quickly!"

Before the guard could react to what was happening, he saw Lin Ze clenching his hands tightly, and the sound was so loud that it almost shattered his eardrums.

"What did you say! Is the prince's injury worse? Is he bleeding again? Is the prince fainted?"

"Okay, I got it. You go back first, I'll be there soon!"

As he said that, he raised his hand, pushed him away, and walked towards the alley not far away.

The guard was completely confused and had no idea what Linze was doing. When did the prince's injuries worsen and he fainted?

Although he didn't understand, he subconsciously did what Lin Ze said, turned around and ran towards the mansion in a hurry.

Lin Ze ran to Shen Qionghua breathlessly. Before Shen Qionghua could speak, he said anxiously, "County Lady, the prince has fainted from bleeding wounds. The mansion is in chaos now. I'll be going back first."

After saying this, he bowed and disappeared in front of Shen Qionghua with quick steps.
