I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

373 Trick

Seeing that the intimidation was effective, Pei Qian didn’t pressure him anymore. Instead, he changed his attitude and asked him to sit at the side to calm down in case he acted shifty in front of the Fourth Prince later and aroused his suspicion.

However, it was obvious that Pei Qian had underestimated this badger game expert in front of him.

The moment he alighted from the carriage, the man, who had not even dared to look up from the carriage previously, immediately seemed to have become a different person. With a flick of the dust in his hand, he straightened his body and immediately looked sage-like again.

Pei Qian glanced at him in satisfaction. Then, he brought him all the way to the courtyard where the Fourth Prince lived.

!!

Zhou Hengchang had been waiting on the road after receiving the letter. When he saw Pei Qian, he welcomed him eagerly.

“Mr. Pei, you’re finally here.” Zhou Hengchang wanted to sigh when he saw Pei Qian. Previously, he thought that protecting the Fourth Prince’s safety was actually a good job. After all, the Fourth Prince wasn’t difficult to serve and he didn’t have to interact with him that much.

But that was in the past.

Zhou Hengchang didn’t know what had happened. Ever since the Gu family and the Lin family’s incident, he realized that the Fourth Prince seemed to have changed. Now, he gave people the feeling that he was a monster trapped in a cage and might go crazy at any time. Sometimes, he would suddenly fly into a rage even without others saying anything.

With his current status, when the Fourth Prince lost his temper, the ones who would suffer would definitely be his subordinates.

For example, this morning, he didn’t know what had happened at all, but was reprimanded and he watched as an innocent little girl was beaten to death by the Fourth Prince.

He wasn’t a coward who had never seen a dead person.

He had killed countless people on the battlefield, so he had always been very indifferent to deaths, but this didn’t mean that he could accept the loss of innocent lives.

That little girl didn’t do anything unforgivable. She served tea and soup, but not the way the Fourth Prince wanted. Therefore, she was executed by the Fourth Prince for disrespect.

“I understand. It’s been hard on you during this period of time.” Pei Qian could guess what Zhou Hengchang wanted to say from his expression. The Fourth Prince had probably lost control of his emotions again today.

He reached out and patted Zhou Hengchang’s shoulder gently. Then, he said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already found a solution. You guys will be much more relaxed from now on.”

“That’s good.” Hearing Pei Qian’s assurance, Zhou Hengchang heaved a sigh of relief. The expression on his face relaxed a lot as he said in a low voice, “If this continues, I really won’t be able to take it anymore.”

Pei Qian smiled, but didn’t say anything else. Instead, he turned around and walked towards a noisy courtyard.

The Fourth Prince was in a terrible state.

Previously, Princess Ning Fu served him, but ever since Princess Ning Fu schemed against others but got schemed against instead, she rarely appeared in front of the Fourth Prince anymore.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but she didn’t dare to.

Now, as soon as she appeared, she would be scolded and punished by the Fourth Prince. As a result, Princess Ning Fu couldn’t help but tremble at the mention of the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince couldn’t find anyone to vent his anger on, so in the end, all his anger was directed at the servants serving him in Duke Huai Yang’s ministry.

When Pei Qian entered, the Fourth Prince was barefooted. His hair was disheveled as he held a horsewhip and whipped the little eunuch, who was lying on the ground and barely breathing.

“Your Highness, calm down.” After Pei Qian glanced at the badly mangled little eunuch on the ground, he advised the Fourth Prince in a low voice.

“How can I calm down? Trash, they’re all trash!” The Fourth Prince turned around and roared at Pei Qian angrily, “There are so many doctors, but none of them can treat my illness!

Do you know what this means to me?!”

“Your Highness, I’m here to tell you good news.” Pei Qian lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly, “I’ve found an expert who can treat Your Highness’s secret illness.”

“What did you say? Are you serious?”

When the Fourth Prince, who was already on the verge of despair, heard this news, he ignored the shattered porcelain on the ground and rushed to Pei Qian. “Is there really someone who can treat my illness?”

“Yes.” Pei Qian nodded and said with certainty, “Previously, I only thought of doctors. Since desperate times call for desperate measures, I asked Madam Liu for help.”

“Madam Liu?” The Fourth Prince frowned at Pei Qian in confusion. “What does this have to do with her?”

“A few days ago, I found an opportunity to ask Madam Liu if she knew any reliable doctors. I couldn’t say that you had a hidden illness, so I found an excuse and said that my friend needed help.

Madam Liu said that in the Three Pure Ones Temple outside the city, there’s a Mage who’s very good at treating all kinds of difficult illnesses. She asked me to go over and ask that Mage if there’s a way to help.”

Pei Qian looked at the Fourth Prince and explained, “I just wanted to give it a try, so I sent someone to invite that Mage over. I didn’t expect this person to really have the ability to help.”

“Mage?” The Fourth Prince felt that hope was slim.

Even the so-called divine doctor was helpless. Could a Mage really treat his illness?!

“Your Highness, at this moment, even slim hope is better than nothing.” Pei Qian could see the Fourth Prince’s distrust and suspicion, so he smiled and said calmly, “Why don’t we give it a try?”

“Alright.” After the Fourth Prince thought about it for a moment, he finally agreed to Pei Qian’s arrangements.

Seeing that the Fourth Prince agreed, Pei Qian turned around and gave Qian He, who was behind him, a look. Qian He immediately arranged for someone to come in. As he helped the Fourth Prince wash up, he quickly cleaned up the mess in front of him.

When the sage-like Mage Chi Songzi walked into the room to pay his respects, the Fourth Prince resumed his refined and gentle facade once again.

“Heavenly Venerable Immeasurable.” Chi Songzi recited his Dharma name to the Fourth Prince. Then, he glanced at the Fourth Prince calmly. Before the Fourth Prince could ask, he said, “Your illness is not difficult to cure.

The cycle of karma is predestined.

You will carry a heavy burden in the future, so this illness is just a test from the heavens. You don’t have to worry. Just face it calmly.”
