852 Showdown (5)

“She’s doing everything she can to protect the Shen family. The future emperor of Ming Qi is also someone she wants to deal with.” He said coldly and mockingly, “Do you really understand Shen Miao?”

Shen Xin collapsed on the chair. At this moment, he suddenly felt ashamed.

“On the contrary, although I don’t have a deep relationship with Shen Jiaojiao, we’ve been through thick and thin together. We listened to each other’s stories and came up with ideas at night. I saved her life and saved her from danger.” Xie Jingxing said, “Why can’t I marry her?”

Shen Xin suddenly felt extremely tired. The Shen Miao Xie Jingxing was talking about was unfamiliar to him. He did not know anything about what Shen Miao had experienced. Just as Xie Jingxing said, he thought he doted on his daughter a lot, but he didn’t even know what she had been through. Then what had he done all these years?

He looked at the chessboard on the table for a long time. When his eyes started to hurt, he said softly, “Tell me everything.”

“Everything you know about Jiaojiao, tell me.”

…

When Pei Lang woke up, he was in an unfamiliar place. There were many well-dressed maids serving him medicine. Pei Lang’s memory of before he fainted was in the dungeon of Prince Ding’s mansion. A masked man in black saved him from the fire.

He did not know who saved him, nor did he know why that person saved him. He asked the surrounding maids who came to serve him, but he was only told that this was Prince Rui’s mansion.

Pei Lang vaguely sensed that Shen Miao and Prince Rui might be friends, but he did not know how deep the friendship was. He thought that Prince Rui would not take him in for no reason. If he did, it must be because of Shen Miao. Shen Miao did not give up on him. At the thought of this, Pei Lang’s heart skipped a beat.

It was as if everything he insisted on was worth it at this moment, although Pei Lang did not understand where this strange thought came from.

Just as he was thinking, the door to the room opened and a young man walked in with a medicine box on his back. He walked up to him and sat down, as if he wanted to take his pulse.

Pei Lang did not look at the young man seriously at first, thinking that it was a doctor hired by Prince Rui. When he saw the doctor’s face clearly, he was slightly stunned at first before shouting, “Imperial Physician Gao!”

He reacted so strongly that he accidentally pulled the wound and gasped in pain. Gao Yang quickly pressed down on his wound and said, “You don’t have to be so surprised. Be careful not to pull on the wound.”

Pei Lang looked at Gao Yang, and many thoughts flashed across his mind. Gao Yang was the youngest imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital. The royal family liked this young imperial physician very much, probably because he was very good with words and often made Emperor Wen Hui happy. In the eyes of the consorts, he was much more pleasing to the eye than the old men in the Imperial Hospital.

Since he was an imperial physician in the palace, he would not treat people outside the palace for no reason, let alone in Prince Rui’s mansion. Pei Lang’s first thought was that Prince Rui might have borrowed Gao Yang from Emperor Wen Hui for him, but this thought was quickly shaken by Pei Lang. Although Gao Yang was excellent, he was not the only physician in the capital. There was no need for Prince Rui to find Gao Yang to alert the royal family.

Then the second possibility was that Gao Yang and Prince Rui were friends in private.

This possibility was really shocking. He looked up at Gao Yang with a suspicious gaze, but he smiled gently and said, “Imperial Physician Gao, why are you here?”
