Chapter 836 Like a Fighting Beast
Chapter 836 Like a Fighting Beast
He Jinan narrowed his eyes. If the Ding Prince's Mansion really offended the eldest princess, he would not let them go.
"Yeah, yeah, could it be that I really didn't see clearly, and there are actually other people inside?"
"Let's go in and take another look. The girl's reputation is at stake."
Princess Ding's heart was like a raging sea, completely losing her usual composure. Her mind was in a state of chaos, as if she were being stung by countless bees, buzzing all at once.
These people aren't as easy to deal with as those in the fiefdom! Princess Ding secretly complained. Sometimes, troubles would arise in the fiefdom, but it was her own territory after all, and the power of the Ding Palace was there, so dealing with them was relatively easy. But these people before her made Princess Ding feel unprecedented pressure.
Each of them had a sharp gaze, and was not easy to fool. It seemed as if they wanted to see through Princess Ding and leave her nowhere to hide.
What was even more infuriating was that they did not come simply to inquire about things, but came with a sense of joking and mockery, as if they would not be satisfied until they dug out the secrets of Prince Ding's Mansion.
Princess Ding's anger gradually rose in her heart, and her eyes were filled with deep malice when she looked at the eldest princess.
"Don't worry about the affairs of the palace. You will come to the palace today to attend the banquet, and the table is in the front yard. Please go there first." After saying that, he gave the butler a look, asking the butler to ask these people to leave.
He Xuan narrowed her eyes, she was at a loss.
He Jinan saw the eldest princess's clenched fists and stepped forward, saying, "How can we just let it go like this when the matter hasn't been thoroughly investigated yet?"
He Feng saw that Master Tao had stood up again and said unhappily, "This is the family affair of the Ding Palace. It is not your turn as a scholar from the Imperial College to interfere here."
The chief academic officer of the Imperial College stumbled and almost fell out of the crowd.
He looked at He Feng, then at He Jinan, and stepped forward to smooth things over. "Since the princess said there's no need to call a doctor, then let's listen to her, okay? Jinan, we're guests, so let's go back to the front yard first."
He Feng was puzzled by the friendly and conciliatory attitude of the Imperial College's chief academic officer towards Mr. Tao. In his opinion, the chief academic officer should have severely reprimanded Mr. Tao and forcibly dragged him out.
Zhang Jian was also worried that Tao Jinan would anger these powerful people if he stood up, so he stepped forward and pulled Tao Jinan's sleeve, whispering, "Brother Tao, let's go quickly. Why are you showing off by standing up?"
He Jinan ignored him, but looked around and said with a smile: "Don't you find anything strange? Who would disregard the prince's safety and leave him unconscious without seeking medical treatment? But it doesn't matter. The princess refused to send the court doctor, but there is a doctor ready on the scene."
After he finished speaking, his gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Doctor Liu who was not far away.
Doctor Liu coughed lightly. He had originally come here to have a drink on his day off, but he didn't expect to have to see patients again.
But since the Second Prince had already seen him, he couldn't help but step forward and said, "Then let me treat His Majesty."
Doctor Liu's medical skills have long been famous in the capital, and Princess Ding has also heard of it. Seeing Doctor Liu stand out, her whole body stiffened and she almost fainted.
"This... it's common for my prince to faint, so I won't bother Doctor Liu."
But Doctor Liu didn't dare to refuse to treat the patient because of the Second Prince's gaze, so he waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter, just a piece of cake, no need to bother." As he spoke, he went in.
"Please ask a few more people to serve as witnesses and supervise Doctor Liu's treatment." As soon as He Jinan finished speaking, several curious people followed Doctor Liu's footsteps and entered the room like the wind.
He Li's face was pale. She was the most frightened person now, because when she woke up, she saw her grandfather lying naked beside her. She had no idea what her grandfather had done to her while she was unconscious.
Shame and a deep resentment made her instantly like a devil crawling out of hell. She glared viciously at the eldest princess who was standing proudly and independently in the crowd.
Yes, everything started because of the eldest princess. Originally, the person lying next to my grandfather today should have been the eldest princess. The eldest princess must have used someone else as a substitute in order to escape.
He Xuan felt a deep malice directed at her. She calmly met that gaze and clenched her fists like a fighting beast.
He Jinan walked a few steps towards He Xuan, and followed He Xuan's gaze to look at He Li, who was in the room with a pale face but a resentful look.
He was now quite certain that Prince Ding's Mansion had indeed angered the eldest princess.
Not long after Doctor Liu went in, he came out with a group of people. He glanced at the eldest princess and the second prince and said, "Prince Ding is not optimistic. He must have overdosed on a powerful pill, which caused him to faint."
"Power pill? What is this thing?" People in the crowd asked, but some people blushed silently.
"Don't you know this? Isn't this... the tonic that men and women use before sex?"
"But why did the prince take that medicine and run to his granddaughter's room? Oh... Oh my God... It can't be what I think it is?"
"This Dingwang Mansion really refreshes my knowledge. I have never heard of such a bizarre thing before."
"This young lady only looks fourteen or fifteen years old. To be so young, she was... the key is her own grandfather... It's over, it's over. I can't think about it anymore. If I keep thinking about it, I'm going to vomit."
He Jinan listened to the discussions behind him and was on the verge of a rage. He had a guess in his mind: the reason why the eldest princess was furious today was because she almost fell into the trap set by Prince Ding's Mansion!
He hurriedly looked at He Xuan, wanting to see if she was okay.
He Xuan also looked at him, smiled slightly, and gave him a reassuring look.
He Jinan breathed a sigh of relief, but the anger in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Princess Ding no longer knew where she was. Her ears were buzzing, her body went limp, and she leaned against Nanny Fang.
"Prince Ding is already advanced in age, yet he still consumes such a powerful pill. While it may indeed bring him immense pleasure in the short term, it will undoubtedly do more harm than good in the long term. I have examined Prince Ding's pulse and discovered that he is severely weakened, likely due to years of constant consumption of this drug, which has been going on for at least three years. The greatest danger of this drug is that it cannot be easily eliminated. It requires... hehe, it requires a woman... I won't elaborate further, you all understand."
Doctor Liu's words shocked everyone even more, and the way they looked at He Li became more and more abnormal.
He Li was struck by lightning. She waved her hands hurriedly: "No, it's not me. It's never me. It's always another girl."
Everyone: "..."
