I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

Chapter 317 - 317 Little General, Someone Next Door Is Eavesdropping



317 Little General, Someone Next Door Is Eavesdropping

Not long after Pei Qian was sent back to the residence, he woke up. However, probably because he was too seriously injured, he didn’t stay awake for long before falling unconscious again.

Lin Suisui went over to take Pei Qian’s pulse and adjust the prescription before returning to have dinner with Lu Ze.

Halfway through dinner, they heard a commotion next door. Soon, Su Qi came over with a dejected expression and reported to the two people in the room, “The fourth prince is here.”

Lin Suisui turned to look at Lu Ze and saw him put down his bowl and chopsticks. After he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, he stood up and said to Lin Suisui, “I’ll go over and take a look.”

Knowing that it was inappropriate for her to go over now, Lin Suisui nodded and reminded him to be careful before watching Lu Ze leave with Su Qi.

Qian He didn’t expect the fourth prince to find them so quickly.

However, although the fourth prince had brought many guards and followers, he didn’t bring a bunch of luggage. Qian He heaved a sigh of relief and came forward to greet the fourth prince.

“I only came over to take a look after hearing that Song Tao has woken up.” The fourth prince looked at Qian He and raised his hand slightly to signal him to get up.

The smile on the fourth prince’s face was as gentle as ever as he looked at Wei Qing, who was standing behind Qian He, and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Are you General Wei?”

“Hello, Fourth Prince.” Wei Qing bowed to the fourth prince. “I heard that Mr. Pei was injured, so I came to visit.”

“Your Highness, Mr. Pei woke up for a while just now, but because his injuries were too serious, he fell asleep again not long after.” Qian He lowered his eyes slightly and reported in a low voice, “But Your Highness, you can rest assured. Madam Liu also came over to take a look just now and said that Mr. Pei will wake up tomorrow.”

“That’s good. I might as well stay here for the night. It won’t be too late for me to go back after I confirm that Song Tao is fine.” The fourth prince smiled as he made this decision, but Qian He’s expression turned ugly.

The fourth prince was pushing his luck.

If he stayed for the night, he might have an excuse to stay tomorrow and the day after as well.

However, although he was dissatisfied, he couldn’t stop him. After all, in terms of status, the other party was a prince and he was just a henchman.

“Your Highness, this arrangement is inappropriate.” Lu Ze brought Su Qi over from the side just in time to help Qian He out. After saying this, like Wei Qing, he cupped his hands and bowed to the fourth prince. Then, he met the fourth prince’s unhappy gaze and explained, “Your Highness, it’s too dangerous here now. Please return to Duke Huai Yang’s ministry under the escort of General Wei Qing.”

“What do you mean?” The fourth prince stared at Lu Ze with a scrutinizing gaze. For some reason, ever since he first saw Gu Erlang, he had never felt a sense of intimacy with him.

Instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of threat.

“Why? Since you said that this place is dangerous, why did you place Song Tao here? Doesn’t this mean that you don’t care about his safety?”

“Your Highness, the reason Mr. Pei is staying here is that he’s the bait.” Lu Ze looked at the fourth prince very calmly as he said, “Do you know why these northern barbarian spies are here?”

“You’re not here for Song Tao, are you?” The fourth prince snorted. Although he had the feeling that Pei Qian was hiding something from him, compared to Gu Erlang, Pei Qian was naturally more trustworthy.

“Your Highness, this matter is too important. Because it’s related to that person, Mr. Pei has always been very careful.” Lu Ze pointed in the direction of the capital calmly. “Otherwise, why would Mr. Pei make this trip personally?

It’s because there’s something important that attracted Prince Pei’s attention!

“Now that we’ve reached the stage of retrieving the net, I hope that you can consider the big picture and return to Duke Huai Yang’s ministry to rest first. When the matter is resolved, I believe Prince Pei will tell you everything he knows.”

Lu Ze’s words were very tempting, making the fourth prince, who had wanted to cause trouble, immediately calm down. He snorted softly and although he was still a little dissatisfied, he chose to compromise for the time being.

“Then you have to guarantee that Song Tao will be fine.” The fourth prince stared at Lu Ze for a long time before turning to instruct Qian He, who was standing at the side, “And you, you’ve been by Song Tao’s side since childhood, so I’ll leave Song Tao’s safety to you. If anything happens, you have to arrange for someone to inform me immediately.”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ve already used my life to ensure his safety.”

Seeing that the fourth prince had the intention to leave, Qian He heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he lowered his head and promised very seriously, “Unless I die, no one can hurt Mr. Pei!”

The fourth prince nodded in satisfaction before looking at Lu Ze. “I don’t need General Wei to escort me. Gu Erlang, since you’re the person Song Tao values the most, why don’t you send me back?!”

“Please.” Lu Ze took a step back and raised his hand without hesitation.

The fourth prince snorted and turned to leave with a group of guards.

“Tsk, I thought that His Highness had a deep brotherly relationship with His Highness. It seems that he’s just so-so!” After the fourth prince and the others left, Wei Qing crossed his arms and sneered disdainfully. “When he heard that there was danger, he ran faster than anyone else.”

“Walls have ears, so please be mindful of your words.” Qian He sighed helplessly and turned to remind him seriously, “Aren’t you afraid that someone in the residence will hear you and tell that person?”

“If there was such a spy in your residence, I’m afraid Mr. Pei would have already skinned you before anything happened!” Wei Qing snorted and the disdain on his face intensified as he glanced at Qian He, who looked serious. “But then again, I remember that Mr. Pei has always been careful, so why did he suffer so badly this time?

This doesn’t seem like his way of doing things! Qian He, what is he planning again?”
