Chapter 318 - 318 Fourth Prince, You're Overpraising Me
318 Fourth Prince, You’re Overpraising Me
“Little general, our prince was indeed negligent this time.” Qian He lowered his eyes and explained to Wei Qing with a serious expression, “Who would have thought that the girl who had always served him was actually a northern barbarian spy?”
After Wei Qing stared at Qian He for a long time, he realized that he probably wouldn’t be able to get any useful information from him today. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes and smile at Qian He. “Alright, I have a way to find out even if you don’t tell me!
I’ll ask someone else. Can you hide it from me forever?!”
After saying that, Wei Qing couldn’t be bothered with Qian He anymore. He turned around and walked out without looking back. “I’ll go ask Lin Suisui!”
Lin Suisui had just instructed someone to clean up after dinner when Yuan Niang rushed in and reported to her in a low voice, “Your Highness, General Wei Qing requests to see you.”
“At this time?” Lin Suisui was stunned for a moment. She was a little surprised that Wei Qing would come looking for her at this time.
However, when she thought of the fourth prince’s arrival just now, she couldn’t help but worry and instructed Bai Guo to invite him to the warm pavilion.
“I don’t know about this either.”
Originally, she thought that something had happened next door. After hearing Wei Qing’s motive for coming over, Lin Suisui was relieved. At the same time, she couldn’t help but be amused by Wei Qing’s question. “As you know, yesterday was the day of the medical center’s examination. We were originally in Doctor Luo’s courtyard watching those candidates that came over for the examination.
However, Qian He rushed over and told us that something had happened to Mr. Pei.
When I rushed over, the knife hadn’t been pulled out of Mr. Pei yet. It took us quite a while to deal with everything. This morning, everything finally became stable.
However, Duke Huai Yang’s ministry isn’t a suitable place to recuperate, so we suggested bringing Prince Pei back to recuperate.
“Firstly, it’s easier to deal with everything in his own residence. Secondly, it’s more peaceful and quiet. With the fourth prince around, there are people coming and going every day, so he can’t even rest.”
Lin Suisui’s answer made Wei Qing even more puzzled. He hesitated for a long time before saying, “But according to Pei Qian’s personality, he shouldn’t have made such a mistake!”
“How can there be so many predictable things in this world? People always make mistakes and get careless sometimes. After all, Qian He also said at that time that that girl had always served the fourth prince very well. Who would have thought that she would suddenly attack?
Fortunately, he was lucky this time. Although the blade went very deep, it avoided the vital parts. Although the wound looks serious, it’s just slightly more serious laceration. He’s fine.”
Lin Suisui was not as suspicious as Qian He. Moreover, even if she felt that something was wrong, she had to pretend that everything was normal before Lu Ze and the others revealed it.
After Wei Qing thought about it for a moment, he didn’t ask further. Instead, he told her his next plan. “Lu Ze has sent the fourth prince back to Duke Huai Yang’s ministry. We don’t know if it’s safe now, so I’d better stay and wait for him to come back before leaving!”
Lin Suisui was about to say that there was no need when she saw Yuan Niang bring Du Yue’e in.
“Yue’e is already a junior apprentice at our medical center. She said that she wants to come over and kowtow to you to thank you.” Yuan Niang smiled at Lin Suisui as she whispered the reason Du Yue’e was here.
“She should have come during the day, but she has been going to Doctor Luo’s place to learn things these few days, so she can only come over now to disturb Your Highness at this time.”
“Hey, little girl, are you really planning to study medicine?”
When Wei Qing saw Du Yue’e, he couldn’t hide the surprise in his eyes. He had heard from Du Yueheng a few days ago that his sister wanted to study medicine, but at that time, he didn’t take it to heart. He didn’t expect this girl to really put this idea into action.
“Yes.” Du Yue’e nodded at Wei Qing very seriously. “I already participated in the medical examination yesterday. Now, I can start learning the basics from Doctor Luo.”
“Impressive!” Wei Qing gave Du Yue’e a thumbs-up with a look of admiration. “But little girl, studying medicine is not an easy task. You have to think about it carefully!”
“I know. Madam has already told me. I’m not afraid.” Du Yue’e bowed to Wei Qing as she replied seriously, “Please don’t worry. No matter how difficult my future pathway is, I definitely won’t give up.”
“Impressive!” Wei Qing applauded Du Yue’e seriously. There was no contempt or mockery on his face. Instead, he instructed her seriously, “Just focus on learning. If anyone bullies you, feel free to look for me. I’ll definitely help you vent your anger!”
“Thank you, General Wei.” Du Yue’e bowed to Wei Qing politely. Then, she turned to look at Lin Suisui and bowed to thank her. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely study hard. I won’t disappoint you.”
Lin Suisui nodded and instructed her with a smile, “Just study hard. You don’t have to worry about anything else. If anyone really bullies you or causes trouble for you, you don’t have to be afraid!
Didn’t General Wei say just now that if anyone bullies you, you can go look for him?! If it’s not appropriate to look for him, go look for Yuan Niang. Those people won’t be able to hurt you.”
On the way to Duke Huai Yang’s ministry, Lu Ze and the fourth prince interacted with each other respectfully.
Originally, Lu Ze planned to ride a horse, but when the fourth prince got into the carriage, he insisted on calling Lu Ze along. His excuse was very reasonable. If he was sitting alone in the carriage, if anything happened, who would protect him?
Therefore, in the end, Lu Ze could only follow the fourth prince’s wishes and sit in the spacious carriage with him.
“I’m really envious of you, Gu Erlang. You have such an intelligent and capable wife.” The fourth prince narrowed his eyes and sized up Gu Erlang, who was sitting beside him. After a while, he said indifferently, “Not only did she save my life, but if not for her, Song Tao would have suffered too.
I didn’t expect a woman to have such good medical skills.”
“You flatter me. She’s just a country bumpkin, so she doesn’t deserve your praise,” Lu Ze replied calmly. Although he had already begun to think about how to punish the fourth prince, he still had to maintain his composure on the surface.
