Chapter 83
Chapter 83
Ren Dong, who was beside Song Guanzhou, had been restless since she got the news. When she saw the guards riding back from the mansion and telling the wife of the prince about the evacuation of the Pei family, she ignored her status and stepped forward to grab the guard's sleeve and asked politely, "Is my young lady okay?"
Mrs. Mei, Xiao Yinxiu and Jin Fuyun were all nearby. When they heard her question, they looked over.
The guard actually told the truth, "The young lady is fine, she can speak, and she also ate some of the ginseng soup that the fourth young master brought." He didn't have the nerve to say that Song Guanzhou disliked the bitterness of the ginseng soup, so he only drank one sip.
When Ren Dong heard that Song Guanzhou was still able to talk and eat, she felt relieved and asked, "How was the young lady's injury?"
The guard shook his head. "He looks fine, but he's just lying there. I don't dare to get too close to him. Why don't you sisters pack up your things and go out right away so you can catch up."
Zhuanggu, Lianhua and the others were already prepared, looking eagerly at Madam Mei and Xiao Yinxiu. Xiao Yinxiu had no choice but to order, "Call a car first and send them to serve." Rendong quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Madam."
When Rendong and the others were about to board the car, Ling Ge'er came running out from nowhere, grabbed Rendong's dress and said, "Sister Dong, I'll go with you to see Fourth Aunt."
Aunt Chu hurried over and said, "My ancestor, you will see him when you return home."
Why rush at this moment——
Pei Yulin was stubborn and refused to let go. "I've been worried about Fourth Aunt for days. Sister Dong, please take me with you." Ren Dong looked at Xiao Yinxiu in embarrassment. If this was the child of the Fourth Room, she would not take him with her, but this was -
Seeing that Aunt Chu couldn't let her son go, Xiao Yinxiu could only say, "Aunt Chu, you are with Ling Ge'er. She is worried about Fourth Aunt, and her heart is clear."
After getting the nod, Rendong reached out and lifted Pei Yulin and put him into the carriage.
Pei Jian looked around, then pulled Pei Hai aside and asked, "Where's Brother Che?"
Alu came down the mountain later and reported to the master, "The third young master has left on his own. The fourth young master wanted to chase him and keep him, but there was no trace of the third young master——"
Is that so?
Pei Jian sighed slightly in his heart, looking lonely.
He finally resented this whole mansion...
When Song Guanzhou returned to the Duke's Mansion, Miss Sun and her daughter were already waiting for him in Shaohua Garden. They checked him from head to toe and found many scratches, including a wound over an inch long on the calf, waist and back. As they had been soaked in water for a long time, they were beginning to swell, and the skin and flesh had turned white and were turning to the sides.
Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhao in the mansion were in a dilemma.
Song Guanzhou took a look and said through gritted teeth, "Find a needle and sew it up."
Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhao looked at each other in shock, "We do have catgut that can be used for sutures, but Ma Fei San is hard to find nowadays and its efficacy is not good. Stitching has always been done with force, and the pain is severe. I'm afraid--" Song Guanzhou closed her eyes. Of course she knew that it was extremely painful.
But what if I don’t sew?
"Before the young lady's wound is sutured, the rotten flesh must be cut off."
Pei An was anxious when he heard this, "Apart from this, is there no other way?"
Doctor Sun shook his head. "It is possible not to sew it, but if that is the case, the wound is too big, and the weather will get hotter over time, which will be bad for the wound."
Pei An couldn't bear it, "How can I bear this? Is it true that the so-called Ma Fei San can't be found?"
Doctor Sun said, "It's recorded in the medical book, and I found a prescription, but it still doesn't work."
Song Guanzhou lay on the bed and said, "Just get some mandrake and some wine. Can I get through this?"
"What is a mandala?"
——Song Guanzhou said slowly, "A kind of flower has a paralyzing effect."
Everyone looked at each other, having never heard of this. Song Guanzhou wanted to pound the bed, and said stubbornly, "Then give me more wine, and it will probably not hurt so much when I get drunk."
...Pei An felt that he had never understood Song Guanzhou.
Many people got off Shaohua Garden. Pei Yulin only looked at Song Guanzhou and made sure he was alive before he obeyed and returned to his carriage. Back in the courtyard, Huan Ge'er coughed and pulled him to ask, "Is Fourth Aunt really back?"
"came back."
"not dead?"
"Won't die."
Qin Qingdong and Jin Fuyun received the news from Pei Hai about Song Guanzhou's physical condition. They straightened their appearance and prepared to go to the palace to apologize.
When they arrived at the Central Palace, the Empress summoned the two of them into the hall. After they knelt and bowed, the palace aunt brought an eight-legged drum stool and gave it to the two of them. After they thanked the Empress and sat down, they told her about the accident.
The Empress was kind and said a few words from beginning to end, "Xian'er came back and forgave the crimes of his guards and eunuchs. I think this is good. Xian'er is a prince and stands in front of the people. He is gentle and kind, and he has lived up to the example of the royal family."
Qin Qingdong stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is kind, the Crown Prince is virtuous, and the Tenth Prince is kind. It is a blessing for the people of the world. I was lucky and almost caused a disaster. Please punish me, Your Majesty." He knelt down again to apologize, and Jin Fuyun knelt down beside him, "It was my miscalculation that caused this disaster. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
"You have no intention of harming me. It's inevitable that you will encounter bumps and bruises when you go out to play. But are the lives of Lord Pei's female relatives in danger?"
Qin Qingdong bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty, the fourth young master of the Pei family, Mrs. Song, has been found now. She only has superficial wounds on her body. She has indeed suffered a lot, but fortunately, her bones are not broken. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"That's good. Xian'er thought about it every day, and finally there was no danger."
The Empress pardoned them, and the two of them managed to get out of the palace. A young eunuch came up and said, "Your Majesty summons Erlang of the Qin family to see you."
Qin Qingdong straightened the cuffs of his clothes, said goodbye to Jin Fuyun, and followed the eunuch to the Shangshufang.
He bowed his head and entered the room, kowtowed and knelt. After completing the etiquette, he heard His Majesty's mellow voice, "Get up, Erlang."
Qin Qingdongfang just stood up to thank His Majesty and stood under His Majesty's desk.
"Do you admit your guilt?" Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly asked Qin Qingdong to kneel down immediately and called out to him, "Student, you admit your guilt."
His Majesty put down the imperial edict, looked at the person sitting below him, and sighed, "Stand up and answer."
"Students don't dare."
"Get up! What were you guys doing when Song Shouan's daughter jumped down?"
This question made Qin Qingdong blush, and he could only say, "Your Majesty, the students went deep into the peach forest. After the accident, they rushed here, but they couldn't react as quickly as Silang's wife. In addition, the students were not good at swimming, so they could only lower a rope from the shore to help."
Your Majesty threw down his pen and ink and snorted coldly.
"I have been in charge of government affairs for many years, and I have rarely seen such a strange thing. There are many men on the mountain, but only a woman jumped down. Where is Pei An?"
Qin Qingdong whispered, "None of us can swim. Madam Song warned us many times before she jumped in, not to let those who can't swim go down and cause trouble."
His Majesty sneered, "Are you obedient or are you afraid of death?"
