Chapter 1241 - 40: Debts of Joy (Part 16)_2
The Princely Heir lay on the bed, crying out in pain, the injuries sustained during the day not only failed to improve but worsened.The Princess Ping felt distressed for her son, tears streaming down.
Prince Ping was also distressed but was more focused on reprimanding, "Who told you to provoke Prime Minister Zhao’s niece and General Shi’s nephew?!"
The Princely Heir protested, "It wasn’t I who provoked them, they sought to harm me first."
In his entire life, he had never been poisoned with crotone.
The smell of the inn’s latrine was as unpleasant as could be, he nearly met his end in that inn latrine.
This enmity will not go unavenged, he will never relent.
The Princess Ping wiped her tears and said, "If it were still Nanliang, how could our Prince Ping Mansion suffer such indignities?!"
Prince Ping held the Princess Consort and said, "Alright, don’t be angry."
"How can I not be angry?"
"Our son is the one who got beaten!" said the Princess Ping indignantly.
"Aren’t I preparing for it?" said Prince Ping.
"Prepare, prepare, always preparing, I’ve had enough!" the Princess Consort said impatiently, expressing her disappointment.
Though not explicitly stated, it was quite apparent this was preparation to overthrow Nanlin and restore the former Nanliang dynasty.
Zhao Xu, attempting to show benevolence, spared their lives, only feeding their ambitions.
The Emperor of Nanliang was cruel and unjust, causing resentment among the people; now the citizens of Nanlin live peaceful and prosperous lives, yet they want to provoke war.
Su Yang’s eavesdropping spot was rather hidden, but no matter how secretive a place would be, it was still near the Princely Heir’s room, inevitably leading to discovery.
A yell of "Assassin" rang out, and Hidden Guards of Prince Ping Mansion came forth.
Su Yang dealt with the assassin skillfully.
He came only to investigate, without any intention to act, and swiftly leaped to leave Prince Ping Mansion.
Prince Ping pursued, determined to capture Su Yang alive.
Su Yang wanted to leave, and no one could stop him.
It’s just that General Shi’s Hidden Guard appeared to assist him.
Yes.
The man meant well.
But the Hidden Guard’s martial arts were not fully trained; Su Yang could avoid interference and leave, but he couldn’t.
Su Yang had to return to save him.
This inadvertently led to his arm getting grazed.
Su Yang fled with the Hidden Guard, and Prince Ping was furious, berating the Hidden Guard for being useless.
Two people sneaked in unnoticed, what use were they?!
Fortunately, the sword of the Hidden Guard was poisoned; whoever got poisoned would surely die.
Su Yang always carried Antidote Pills; such small toxins wouldn’t threaten his life, besides, all these years he trained with medicinal baths, can withstand life-threatening poisons better than others.
General Shi’s Hidden Guard blamed himself; if it weren’t for him, Su Yang wouldn’t have been injured.
Su Yang looked at his arm and said, "It’s just a minor wound, you should return, I won’t return to General Shi’s Mansion tonight."
After saying this, he headed straight for the Zhao Family.
The Hidden Guard returned alone to General Shi’s Mansion.
Reported the incident at Prince Ping Mansion to General Shi, who was quite shocked.
Zhao Xu has been on the throne for ten years, the princes of Nanliang have always behaved amicably, not daring to speak rashly, fearing to anger Zhao Xu and bring disaster upon themselves.
Moreover, now Nanlin enjoys good weather and a prosperous life, the princes of Nanliang avidly seek to please Zhao Xu, surprising that they secretly plot to restore the old dynasty.
Had it not been for the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion’s night exploration of Prince Ping Mansion, he wouldn’t have known Prince Ping’s ambition was so grand.
As for the Zhao Family, Princess Yinchuan lay restlessly on the ground mat, unable to sleep.
She was worried that Prince Jing’s adopted son would come for her.
The Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion’s betrothal was repelled with Zhao Xu’s assistance, which should not be challenging.
Besides Su Yang, Prince Jing’s adopted son also declared he would marry her.
Especially at the waterfall site...
This matter almost became a lingering anxiety for Princess Yinchuan.
If she were to marry General Shi’s nephew like this, would Prince Jing’s adopted son cause trouble?
Princess Yinchuan felt troubled and apprehensive.
At this moment—
The sound of the window being moved came through.
Yet it wasn’t pushed open.
Princess Yinchuan immediately sat up.
"It’s me," said Su Yang.
That voice...
Was it Tang Feng?
Princess Yinchuan went to the window and said, "Why have you come back again?"
"I’m injured."
Princess Yinchuan hurriedly opened the window.
Su Yang jumped through the window.
Princess Yinchuan saw at once that Su Yang’s arm was bleeding.
Princess Yinchuan’s face instantly turned white, "How did you get injured?"
Su Yang sat on the small chaise and said, "Quick, bandage the wound for me."
"...I don’t know how," Princess Yinchuan said anxiously.
"Should I summon an Imperial Physician for you?"
"... "
Su Yang was stunned.
Is she scared out of her wits?
Why summon an Imperial Physician at this late hour?
If the Imperial Physician discovered him injured in her boudoir, how would she explain?
Princess Yinchuan was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
The golden sore medicine she brought from Beimo Palace was lost halfway, here in the Zhao Family, anything needed was retrieved by maids, no need for orders.
