The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

This time, Xiu Luoran left very decisively, without giving Du Lingfang a chance to recruit anyone.

When Xiu Luoran returned home, he pulled Xiu Lingqun, who had just entered, into his room:

"Third brother, send someone to monitor the Du family for twelve hours."

Xiu Lingqun asked: "Which Du family?"

How would Xiu Luoran know this?

She suddenly thought of Su Jin:

"Third brother, wait a moment, I'll ask someone."

Su Jin told Xiu Luoran that Du Lingfang was the eldest daughter of Du Yuliang, the Deputy Minister of Rites, and was twenty years old this year.

She also has a younger brother named Du Zixuan.

Du Lingfang's biological mother died early, and her stepmother Pan was indifferent to her and her siblings, but insisted on arranging their marriage.

The Du family came from a poor family and had no wealth.

Pan's family was not wealthy either, and they only wanted to exchange the two siblings for money.

She wanted to marry Du Lingfang to an old man as his second wife, and she wanted a lot of betrothal gifts.

Not only did he let Du Zixuan marry a nympho, but he also made her a live-in son-in-law.

A loyal servant in the family told Du Lingfang about this. Du Lingfang went to her father to cry and asked her grandfather to come and seek justice. Only then was the marriage between the siblings called off.

Xiu Luoran told Xiu Lingqun:

"Third brother, it's the family of Du Yuliang, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Pay special attention to all the situations of his eldest daughter, because she wants to harm me."

Xiu Luoran didn't dare tell Du Lingfang that she was going to marry Xiu Yuancang. She was afraid that Xiu Lingqun would get angry and impulsive and do something stupid.

Xiu Lingqun was shocked to hear that someone was actually trying to harm his sister:

"Luoluo, don't worry, I will make sure everything is clear for you."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Hey."

Seeing Xiu Lingqun go out, Xiu Luoran came to find his father.

As soon as she entered her father's room, she saw her father and eldest brother sitting there with sad faces.

"Dad, brother, what's wrong? What happened?"

Xiu Lingce said: "Luoluo, the third prince is missing."

"what?"

Xiu Luoran felt very surprised:

"The prince is missing? The emperor didn't send anyone to look for him?"

Xiu Lingce shook his head: "The people in the Third Prince's Mansion have blocked the news for now, and they are still working hard to find it."

"Where did the Third Prince go?"

“According to the people in the Third Prince’s Mansion, the Third Prince was asked to go out, but he never came back. It has been three days.

If you don't come back before dark today, they will go to the palace and tell the emperor."

"Brother, is this what you are worried about?"

Xiu Yuancang said: "Luoluo, our Xiu family supports the Third Prince, not only because your eldest brother is his study partner, but also because the Third Prince is much better than the Second Prince.

He is more benevolent than the second prince, cares more about the people than the second prince, and is more suitable to be the emperor than the second prince.

If the Second Prince becomes the Emperor, I'm afraid he won't be as good as our Xiu family."

Xiu Luoran said: "That is to say, we must support the Third Prince, there is no other choice?"

"Yes."

"Dad, are you waiting for news from the Third Prince's Mansion?"

"Yes."

Xiu Luoran asked Xiu Yuancang: "Dad, will you marry again?"

Xiu Yuancang looked at Xiu Luoran strangely:

"I won't marry again. What makes you suddenly want to ask this?"

"Dad, for example, if the other person is a beautiful, young, and virgin girl, and she comes to you on her own accord, would you marry her?"

"Don't marry."

"Dad, do you keep your word?"

"count."

"Then you better be careful in the future, don't be like your second uncle and have someone sneak into your bed with you."

Seeing Xiu Yuancang glaring at him, Xiu Luoran ran out happily.

Dad said he won’t marry again, and he definitely won’t marry again.

No matter what Du Lingfang's purpose was, she was going to be disappointed.

Xiu Luoran came back from practicing Qinggong in the small garden, and Mochou told her:

"Miss, someone from the Third Prince's Mansion has arrived and said that the Third Prince was injured and it seems to be very serious. The Marquis and the Young Master have already gone to the Third Prince's Mansion."

The third prince was injured?

Xiu Luoran returned to her room, closed the door, sat on the bed, closed her eyes, and began to carefully search through the things in her small space.

Mainly, she wanted to see what medicines and medical supplies were in her small space. She wanted to arrange these things properly so that she wouldn't lose them when she needed them.

She had a premonition that the Third Prince's injury this time might not be simple, and maybe her eldest brother and father would ask her to help heal the Third Prince.

She would wait and see what the situation was, and would not intervene if she could. Royal affairs were complicated, so she should not get into any trouble. …

In the imperial palace, in the center of the Qian'an Hall, the third prince Yi Jingpin was lying on the ground covered in blood, having fainted.

Emperor Yi Dingyao stared at the imperial physician intently:

"You mean, Pin'er's legs can't be saved?"

The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his face:

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has suffered a comminuted fracture, and his leg is useless.

Apart from this, if the high fever is not controlled and the wound is not prevented from swelling and festering, it may be life-threatening.”

Yi Dingyao closed his eyes and opened them after a while:

"What do you think we should do?"

"Your Majesty, the best way is to saw off this injured leg. This is the safest way."

"No."

Xiu Lingce turned his wheelchair and walked over:

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is currently in a coma. I hope Your Majesty will wait until the Third Prince wakes up before making a decision."

Someone nearby said, “We can wait, but this wound can’t wait.

The Third Prince fell so hard that his leg bones were broken into many pieces, if not completely. There is really no need to keep this leg."

Xiu Lingce said loudly: "Whether to stay or not is up to the Third Prince.

The feeling is not your leg anymore, you have been advocating to saw off the third prince's leg, what are you thinking?"

Seeing that the emperor was staring at him, the man quietly stepped aside.

Yi Dingyao asked Xiu Lingce: "Do you mean to let Pin'er keep this injured leg?"

Xiu Lingce half lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is not even thirty years old yet, which is the age when he should pay attention to his appearance.

His legs are broken and he can't walk anymore, but as long as he has his legs, he is still a complete person.

Even if I have to sit in a wheelchair like me, it's better than losing my legs and becoming a one-legged chicken, right?

I request Your Majesty to wait until the Third Prince wakes up and listen to his opinion.

If the Third Prince agrees to have his legs sawed off, I have nothing to say."

Another minister said, “Your Majesty, please listen to the imperial physician.

Young Master Xiu did not want to have his legs sawed off for the sake of the Third Prince's face.

But we have to consider the life of the Third Prince. Losing a leg is better than losing his life."

Several other ministers echoed this minister's words and requested the emperor to agree to allow the third prince to have his leg sawed off to prevent his condition from worsening and his life from being in danger.

Xiu Lingce was so anxious that he fell off his wheelchair. He crawled forward to Yi Jingpin's side and stretched out his hands:

"I wonder who dares to touch the Third Prince! Don't think I don't know what you are up to. The Third Prince is already like this, so just let him go!

Even if he is disabled, you should at least give him some face."

Xiu Yuancang, Zhang Yuetang, Prince Shun and other old ministers also disagreed with sawing off the third prince's legs.

The emperor looked at this and that, his sharp eyes sweeping over every face present.

At this time, the chief eunuch, Eunuch Zhan, trotted in, came to Yi Dingyao's side, and whispered a few words into Yi Dingyao's ear.

Yi Dingyao clenched his fists and shouted at the ministers who had just insisted on having the Third Prince's legs sawed off:

"You all get out of here!"

The ministers were so frightened that they fell silent and quietly left the Qian'an Hall one after another.

The second prince was mixed in with the crowd and slowly walked out of the palace.

When no one was paying attention to him, he quickly curled the corners of his mouth and left briskly.
