Chapter 458 Disguised as a Medicine Boy
As soon as the eldest princess sat down in the hall, the atmosphere in the whole hall became very subtle.
Her guards stood on both sides, directly blocking the prince consort, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the people from the Miaoshou Pavilion.
Zhou Ziqi also understood what the princess meant, so he was not in a hurry to move forward.
The current situation is unclear, and there is no news from the Madam and the Marquis, so he cannot act rashly.
The carriage was moving slowly on the official road.
A colorful pigeon flew over and landed on the carriage shed.
"News from the capital!" Lu Shui leaned over to take a look. "It's a carrier pigeon from Miaoshou Pavilion." The different colors of the pigeon's feathers indicated where it came from. She caught the pigeon and untied the secret letter from her foot.
"Madam, Marquis, the prince consort has taken the injured child and the concubine to Miaoshou Pavilion to find Doctor Zhou!" Lu Shui took a look and quickly handed the secret letter to Su Jixiang and Wei Ling.
"Ah?" Su Jixiang was originally leaning on Wei Ling with his eyes closed to rest, but he immediately sat up straight when he heard the news.
"How far are we from the capital?" She looked at the letter and then asked.
"We've only traveled a short distance," Wei Ling said. The carriage wasn't going very fast, and it had only traveled ten miles. If they wanted to ride back on horseback, it would probably only take half an hour.
"Then can we go to the hunting ground in a few days?" Su Jixiang asked.
Wei Ling smiled at Su Jixiang and said, "Of course you can." He immediately stopped the carriage by the roadside.
He took Su Jixiang out of the carriage and had a few horses brought over from the back. "You continue on your way. My wife and I will return to the capital first and then meet up with you later."
Since everyone saw that they had already left the city, wouldn't it be obvious that they were just going to watch the fun if they came back in such a brazen manner?
Lushui and Guihua came over and disguised Su Jixiang and Wei Ling for a while, and then the two of them rode back to the capital quickly with Lushui and Guihua.
They quietly changed into the clothes of the medicine boy of Miaoshou Pavilion. When Su Jixiang and Wei Ling pretended to be the medicine boys of Miaoshou Pavilion, the lobby of Miaoshou Pavilion was surrounded by the eldest princess's men.
"It's been so long, why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?" Su Jixiang asked in a low voice.
"You must be doing it on purpose." Wei Ling was now wearing the clothes of a medicine boy, but he was tall and strong. Even with his face disguised, he stood out among the young medicine boys. Su Jixiang, on the other hand, was a bit smaller, almost the same height as the other medicine boys.
Calculating the time, at least two hours had passed from the time they received the news to the time they rushed back and then stood here after changing their appearance and clothes.
It looks like there is still no movement inside and no progress.
They had already found out what happened in the lobby facade when they were changing clothes.
They waited outside the lobby, and Lu Shui brought some medicinal tea. "If you want to go in and take a look, send some tea in."
"You go ahead. I'm a bit awkward here." Wei Ling looked at his own stature with some embarrassment and said to Su Jixiang and Lu Shui, "You two, protect the lady."
"Yes." Lushui and Guihua responded.
Su Jixiang, Lushui and Guihua each picked up a tea tray, and Lushui went forward and knocked on the door of the hall.
"What's the matter?" A guard from the Princess's Mansion came over and opened the door. Seeing three young men who looked like medicine boys, he asked in a harsh tone.
"Our manager said that you have been waiting in the lobby for a long time. In order to prevent you from feeling thirsty, he specially prepared medicinal tea. If possible, I will go in and serve you tea." Lu Shui changed her accent and spoke. The sound coming out of her throat was no different from that of a teenager in the voice change period. In addition, the height of the three of them and their disguised appearance made them look like three ordinary teenagers.
"Go away!" The guard glanced inside the door, then frowned and said in a harsh voice, "There are important people inside. If you offend any of them, you will be in trouble!"
"Wait a minute!" The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery stopped the guard.
"Your Highness, Princess, why don't you try the medicinal tea from Miaoshou Pavilion first." The wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong had been waiting in there with them for a long time, and she understood in her heart why the imperial physician had not come yet.
The prince consort was arguing with the eldest princess before. The two of them had been arguing for an hour, and the prince consort's face was now frighteningly dark.
This medicinal tea arrived at the right time. Even the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery felt her mouth was dry, let alone the two people who had just had a quarrel.
The eldest princess had not originally thought of drinking a sip of water, so it was disrespectful to mention this matter. As soon as it was mentioned, the eldest princess felt like smoke was coming out of her throat.
"Bring it in!" she said.
After arguing for so long, my voice is indeed a little hoarse.
"How long are you going to wait?" Chen Xinghe knew in his heart that the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital must have received a letter from the princess. Such a long time had passed, he would have crawled here from the Imperial Hospital even if he had to!
"Don't worry. Maybe everyone in the Imperial Hospital is busy today!" The eldest princess glanced at her husband, feeling a little happy in her heart.
Let this little beast and that bitch bleed to death!
The child no longer had the strength to cry in Chen Xinghe's arms. His face was pale and the injured area no longer bled, but the blood on his face had not been wiped off and now dried on his face, making the child look fragile.
Chen Xinghe felt the child's pulse from time to time. It was still beating, but as time went by, it seemed much weaker than before.
He was now in a dilemma. The eldest princess's guards had surrounded the place tightly. He had just wanted to take the child directly to the Imperial Hospital, but was stopped by the eldest princess's men. The only reason he was able to snatch the child and walk out of Ximoxuan was because the eldest princess had not yet recovered.
Now the eldest princess is on guard against him, and he is weak and alone. If he were alone, no one would dare to stop him, but he cannot take the child and Qin Wanfang away!
Originally, those who surrounded Qin Wanfang were the maids and servants brought by the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. After the eldest princess brought people here, those maids and servants were driven away, leaving only the eldest princess's guards to guard Qin Wanfang.
"The prince consort is getting impatient, let's get him some tea!" The eldest princess said slowly to Lushui, Su Jixiang and others who came in to bring tea.
Lushui served the tea to the eldest princess first, and Su Jixiang took the tea to Zhou Ziqi.
When serving tea to Zhou Ziqi, she quickly showed her wrist. She was wearing a mahogany bracelet, and Zhou Ziqi recognized the bracelet at a glance.
His eyes lit up and he looked at Su Jixiang in surprise.
Su Jixiang gave him a quiet look, and Zhou Ziqi immediately returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
