Chapter 126: Chapter 125: The Princess Consort Who Lies Through Her Teeth
The Divine Doctor Zhang was happily preparing to fetch the medicine when Nan Feng happened to appear. As soon as he appeared, he politely looked at the Divine Doctor Zhang and said, "Let me help you fetch and brew the medicine, then could you please check on my Prince?"
Previously, when the Divine Doctor Zhang came, Nan Feng had invited him to check on his Prince.
Although the Princess Consort had checked on the Prince and prescribed medication, given the current situation the Prince was in, Nan Feng was truly worried. With the Divine Doctor Zhang’s long-standing reputation, Nan Feng hoped to invite him to take a look.
Unfortunately, as soon as Nan Feng spoke, the Divine Doctor Zhang refused, "Not interested."
Nan Feng had no way to persuade him. Seeing the Divine Doctor Zhang conversing well with his family’s Princess Consort, Nan Feng tried once more.
The Divine Doctor Zhang glanced at Nan Feng, then at Feng Qing, and immediately agreed with a smile, "Alright, I’ll take a look."
He felt a connection with this little girl and decided to help her family’s Prince.
Nan Feng was overjoyed and immediately signaled to Nan Xuan to lead the Divine Doctor Zhang to the Prince’s room.
Feng Qing and the Divine Doctor Zhang followed behind Nan Xuan into Rong Ling’s room.
Rong Ling was already awake, but because his body was too weak, he lay on the bed without moving.
Feng Qing gazed at him under the lamplight, his ink-black hair spread out, and the features above the ink-black hair — brows and eyes as if drawn, skin as white as cold jade, the black pupils lacked their usual sharpness and coldness, were crystal clear and bright. When staring intently, they seemed like a massive black magnet, pulling people in.
Feng Qing was astonished; it turned out that beneath this fierce and brutal exterior was such an exquisitely beautiful appearance.
Indeed, a monstrous beauty.
Feng Qing quickly withdrew her gaze, lest she irritate this guy by staring too long.
One must know that an injured lion is still a lion, albeit a little softer right now, so it’s better for her to be cautious, lest he settle accounts with her later.
Feng Qing signaled the Divine Doctor Zhang to step forward and check Rong Ling’s pulse, and the Divine Doctor Zhang obliged, stepping forward to check Rong Ling’s pulse. With this diagnosis, his facial expression turned harsh, and he loudly chastised.
"This is reckless; clearly after being poisoned with Furong Drunk, you still forcibly used Inner Strength, and then took wolf-and-tiger medication afterward — you’re treating your own body as if it’s nothing."
Furious, the Divine Doctor Zhang shook off Rong Ling’s hand, for he, as a doctor, abhorred patients who disregarded their own health.
"Since you don’t cherish your body yourself, there’s no point in further check-ups."
Feng Qing quickly stepped forward to calm the Divine Doctor Zhang, "All right, all right, please don’t be angry. The Prince had his reasons for acting this way. Last night, an assassin broke into Yijing Courtyard, leaving the Prince no choice but to use his Inner Strength. As for today’s consumption of the wolf-and-tiger medication, he was afraid something would happen to him, thus held on to return to the court and hand over the governance to Your Majesty."
"This way, Your Majesty can manage the state affairs. Our Prince wishes only peace and well-being for the people of Dayan; the stability and prosperity of Dayan and the happiness of its citizens are our Prince’s greatest wish."
In the room, Nan Xuan and a few guards exchanged wry smiles silently, gazing speechlessly at the Princess Consort, who spoke lies with open eyes. Though their Prince indeed had the people’s interests at heart, this time, he was clearly holding out to scheme against the Little Emperor.
Yet the way she spoke, the Divine Doctor Zhang actually believed it.
The Divine Doctor Zhang stood up with a face full of guilt, walked to the side of Rong Ling’s bed, and performed a grand salute: "I was shortsighted in the past, underestimated the Prince."
Rong Ling softly replied, "No worries, old Divine Doctor, you need not blame yourself. As long as the people are happy, a little loss on my part is nothing."
