"Doctor Song treasures her herbs so much, she would not abandon them! Moreover, several pots of those five-split coptis chinensis were broken into pieces. If what they said is true, Doctor Song escaped on her own, then as long as her life is not threatened, she would have properly handled the five-split coptis chinensis even if she could not take it away!"
Gu Ha finished speaking in one breath, and seemed to be speaking up for Song Lianhe.
Zhou Junlin glanced at him calmly, "Don't you hate her very much?"
"I hate her, but I don't deny that she is a qualified doctor. Moreover, she saved the princess before. How can I let her suffer this injustice?"
Gu Ha glanced at the people behind him, and then said angrily: "If it is true that Doctor Song cut the tendons of Chen's hand, he must have done something evil!"
Zhou Junlin suddenly laughed: "Guha, I didn't know that you have such a good relationship with Doctor Song!"
Gu Ha blushed and said hesitantly, "She always likes to tease her subordinates."
Zhou Junlin glanced at him, retracted his gaze, walked towards the carriage, and said, "Do you really think that I can't hear their poor excuses?"
Gu Ha was stunned.
Zhou Junlin narrowed his eyes and said softly, "This journey is destined to be troublesome."
Gu Ha suddenly understood.
Whether to protect one person or a group of people, as a prince, there are different considerations.
only……
Gu Ha looked at the pile of broken flower pots in the corner and sighed in his heart.
Zhou Junlin lifted the curtain and got into the carriage. Kong Qing was helping Song Xilan apply ointment on her external injuries.
"You go out first."
"Yes."
Kong Qing got off the carriage, and Zhou Junlin took the ointment on his own initiative. "I heard from the servants that when they found you, the carriage had already stopped safely."
Song Xilan's heart skipped a beat, and her face showed lingering fear. "Yes, fortunately the horse was only slightly frightened, otherwise... the prince might not be able to see Lan'er again now..."
Zhou Junlin frowned: "Don't talk nonsense."
He was a little gentler in his movements, and she only had some superficial injuries. Fortunately, the wounds were not serious and the bruises would disappear in three to five days.
He put away the medicine box and looked up at her: "That falcon...is not the first time it has appeared. Do you still remember it, Lan'er?"
As Song Xilan was able to predict the plot, she naturally knew that it was the falcon raised by Zhou Cangyan.
But if he told it now, Zhou Junlin would definitely cause trouble for him, and if he then implicated himself, it would be a waste of time.
So, she nodded slightly, and said in confusion: "I did see it once before in the E Mansion, but I don't know if it is this one." Then she looked at him curiously: "Does the prince suspect that someone deliberately released this beast?"
Zhou Junlin lowered his eyes and smiled: "I will handle this matter myself, Lan'er, take a good rest."
"Your Highness!" Song Xilan called him again, "Have you found Doctor Song?"
Zhou Junlin raised his eyes and looked at her quietly. After a while, he said, "Since she ran away on her own, why bother looking for her?"
"Your Highness, there must be a misunderstanding. Doctor Song has always been with us, how could she be colluding with bandits? Moreover, with your trust in her, if she wanted to harm us, she would have plenty of opportunities. Why would she do this?"
Song Xilan lowered her eyes again and blamed herself, "It's my fault for coming back too late. If I had come back earlier, Doctor Song would not have left."
Zhou Junlin stared at her anxious look and said suddenly, "Don't worry, Princess. Leave this matter to me."
These words were no longer perfunctory, but more sincere and genuine.
When Zhou Junlin got off the carriage, he saw Kong Qing waiting beside him and ordered, "Take good care of the princess."
"Yes."
Kong Qing got on the carriage and asked hurriedly, "Princess, will the prince really bring back Song Lianhe?"
Song Xilan said calmly, "If he hadn't made trouble just now, he wouldn't have brought the person back."
Especially the group of bandits that appeared just now were really weird. He would never spare any time and energy just for an irrelevant woman.
"Send some medicine to Master Chen."
Kong Qing couldn't help but praise: "The princess is kind-hearted."
-
"pain……"
Song Lianhe lay on the cushion, sweating coldly from the pain.
There was a large bruise on the back, which was shocking to look at.
Da Xi applied the medicine on her and told her not to move.
"These people were really harsh! She was a delicate girl after all, and yet they beat her like this!"
Xuan Mei and Yin Huan sat outside driving the carriage.
Yinhuan turned around and said, "Don't you know how to use poison? Why do you let others bully you like this?"
Song Lianhe's helpless voice came from the carriage: "The poison I carry with me is for saving lives at critical moments. If they don't die, they will only be half dead. Although they are hateful, their crimes do not deserve the death penalty... Moreover, encountering bandits on the official road sounds like someone deliberately targeting us. If I take action at this time, they may not be able to escape."
After saying that, he was very unconvinced, and more like he was angry at himself, he shouted loudly: "I'm not afraid! I just don't care about them!!"
In the carriage in front, Zhou Cangyan opened his eyes slightly.
Yinhuan's teasing voice came from behind again: "I don't know who it is, sitting on the ground holding a flower pot and crying so miserably~"
Song Lianhe said stubbornly: "It's not me!"
Inside the carriage, the shadow guard lifted the curtain and looked back, "Hey, it's quite lively."
Behind them, Yinhuan was still arguing with Song Lianhe.
He lowered the curtains with a smile, "With Doctor Song here, this journey will definitely not be boring."
Zhou Cangyan adjusted his sitting posture, resting his elbows on the brocade stool, and continued to half-close his eyes.
"Who are those bandits?"
The shadow guard then said, "Xuan Xi followed and hasn't come back yet."
He looked at his lord again and asked in a low voice: "Lord, are we going to take her all the way back to Ling'an like this?"
Zhou Cangyan didn't open his eyes, but just raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, what do you think, Mr. Ying?"
"Oh, please don't yell like that. It's embarrassing for me~"
Zhou Cangyan raised his eyes, and the shadow guard immediately stopped teasing and said seriously: "Since King Ling wants to use him to damage the reputation of the lord, why don't we take advantage of his trick!"
Zhou Cangyan seemed to be in high spirits. He put one hand on his cheek and looked at him with a half-smile: "How about turning the tables?"
"Doctor Song is the wife that the lord married in Suining. Even though His Majesty has not officially canonized her, she is still the lord's legal wife! The wife of His Royal Highness Prince Qing was humiliated like this. Shouldn't we ask Prince Ling for an explanation? What's more, our Doctor Song saved Princess Ling's life! They are repaying kindness with enmity! If we really investigate, it will be much more serious than the lord abandoning his wife!"
Zhou Cangyan remained calm and turned the bone ring on his index finger habitually.
The shadow guard asked cautiously, "Uh, my lord, are you... worried about Princess Ling?"
Zhou Cangyan didn't say anything.
At this moment, Daxi's angry rebuke came from the carriage behind him: "These damned people are really abominable! They actually want to strip you of your clothes and ruin your reputation?!"
The man who was originally calm and composed suddenly turned cold, raised the corners of his lips and said slowly: "Do as you say."
