“Princess Ning Fu has taken a fancy to him?” Lin Suisui didn’t expect this development.
There was really no sadness or frustration in her eyes. Instead, she was filled with excitement. “But doesn’t she know that the fourth prince already has a fiancée?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Princess Ning Fu probably already knows that the fourth prince already has a fiancée.” Lin Suisui’s attitude finally dissipated Lu Ze’s unhappiness, but he still looked a little sulky.
He took two sips of the millet porridge before telling Lin Suisui what had happened in the courtyard today. Then, he said, “The fourth prince has a high fever, so it’ll be some time before he can return to Cloud Mountain City.
With Pei Qian watching, it won’t be a problem.”
However, soon, Lu Ze was proven wrong. With a dark expression, he glared at Pei Qian, who had rushed into his study and disturbed him from translating Fortuna. “You better have a good reason.”
“The fourth prince can’t take it anymore. We have to invite Madam Liu over!” Pei Qian explained his intentions directly.
“He has been having a high fever from last night until now! I’ve already found all the doctors in the vicinity of Cloud Mountain City!
But by the time I left, he couldn’t even drink the medicine anymore!
Therefore, in order to save his life, we can only trouble Madam Liu!”
“I don’t agree!” Lu Ze raised his hand and swept the inkstone by the table to the ground. Then, he stood up in anger. He wished he could skin Pei Qian, who had brought this news.
“You have no choice but to agree! Think about it. Who was the one who attacked him so ruthlessly?!” Pei Qian rolled his eyes at Lu Ze and said angrily, “If you hadn’t broken his arm in prison and injured his heart meridian, would he be so seriously injured that he’s about to die now?!”
It was too late to regret it!
Pei Qian gritted his teeth and said to Lu Ze bluntly, “I told you to endure it and that if you couldn’t bear it, you would ruin the plan! You refused to listen and insisted on taking revenge in advance!”
“If he’s dead, so be it. Why should we be afraid?” Lu Ze moved his pen quickly as he copied ‘Fortuna’. “If we let Suisui go over, who will guarantee her safety if anything goes wrong?”
“But you know that he can’t die yet! If he dies, there will be no one in the court who can keep the Third Prince in check! Moreover, his death in the north will definitely cause a huge commotion.
Are you really going to lure over all those people who are already eyeing the north and turn this place upside down?
If that’s the case, things will truly become dangerous for Madam Liu!”
Of course, Pei Qian understood the reason for Lu Ze’s reluctance. Everyone in the capital knew that although Liu Niang was the daughter of a concubine, she seemed to be the fourth prince’s favorite.
If not for her low status, she would have been able to marry the fourth prince!
However, for some reason, she became the Crown Princess of the East Palace’s Lu Ze!
No one would want their wife to reunite with a man she once had feelings for.
“I’ll tell her.” After Lu Ze finished writing and placed his pen on the pen holder, he stared at ‘Fortuna’ and thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll tell her the cause and effect of the matter. The rest depends on whether she’s willing to do it or not.”
“What if Madam Liu is unwilling to save him?” Pei Qian knew a little about their past, so he naturally thought of what might happen next.
What if Madam Liu still cared about what had happened in the past and was unwilling to save the heartless fourth prince…
In that case, what would Lu Ze do?
“In that case, she doesn’t have to save him,” Lu Ze replied bluntly. “I beat him up, so if there are any consequences, I’ll bear them. It has nothing to do with her!”
Before Pei Qian could react, he saw that Lu Ze had already put away the copy of ‘Fortuna’. He walked around Pei Qian, who was standing in the middle of the study, and quickly walked out the door.
Just as Pei Qian had expected, when she heard that the fourth prince’s condition required her to go over and take a look, Lin Suisui’s first reaction was to refuse. “There shouldn’t be a shortage of doctors in Cloud Mountain City, right?! Can’t we find them to take a look at him?”
Although she had never been picky about patients, for some reason, she didn’t want to save the fourth prince. In fact, when she heard that his situation was critical and that he might lose his life if she didn’t save him, she was inexplicably happy.
“Pei Qian has already invited some famous doctors and physicians near Cloud Mountain City to take a look. By the time he left and came to look for us for reinforcements, it was said that the fourth prince couldn’t even drink the medicine anymore.”
Lu Ze didn’t hide anything and repeated what Pei Qian had said to Lin Suisui. Then, he said, “That’s why I came to ask you about your decision.”
“If he dies, it will cause you a lot of trouble, right?” Lin Suisui was silent for a moment before looking up at Lu Ze. Before Lu Ze could answer, she nodded and said seriously, “It will definitely cause you trouble!
After all, the fourth prince was a prince.
If something really happened to him in the north, not only would the royal court be in chaos, but the entire northern region would also be in chaos. Countless innocent people would be implicated and their families would be wiped out!
Personally, I don’t want to save him.
Don’t misunderstand. It’s not because of my previous relationship with him that I hate him. I just don’t like him!
You might not believe me, but I dislike him so much that when I heard his name, I felt an indescribable sense of disgust!
I even feel that if he dies, it will be a joyous occasion!
However, I know that he can’t die yet! Therefore, I’m ready to go!”
Lin Suisui’s response stunned Lu Ze for a long time before he came back to his senses. Then, he took two steps forward and looked at Lin Suisui as he said, “I’m sorry. I made things difficult for you again!
Pei Qian was right. Previously, he had advised me to endure it for the time being and not attack the fourth prince, but I couldn’t resist the urge. I broke one of his arms and injured his heart…”
