I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

365 Aftermath

“No, ask her first. If Madam Liu can treat me, there’s no harm in troubling her.” The fourth prince didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it or think that his request was overboard.

He was a prince. In the entire northern region, who was more e than him?

“I’ll arrange it when I get back.” After Pei Qian glanced at the brazen fourth prince, he bowed and left.

It was impossible to communicate with such a fool.

!!

When Pei Qian came to look for Lu Ze, he didn’t expect Lin Suisui to be there as well.

For the past two days, Lin Suisui had been learning the northern barbarian language from Lu Ze. When Pei Qian came over, the two of them were huddled together on the low couch by the window and reading a book. When they saw him come in, Lu Ze, who was hugging Lin Suishou with a smile, looked at him with dissatisfaction and disdain.

“I didn’t know that you guys were busy here. If I had known, I would have come later.” When he saw that Lu Ze was unhappy, Pei Qian’s anger towards the fourth prince dissipated. After he walked to a chair at the side to sit down, he continued, “It’s fine. You guys can go ahead. I can wait.”

“What is it?” Lu Ze was already used to Pei Qian’s teasing. After he let go of Lin Suisui and sat up, he asked Pei Qian, “Didn’t you go to see the fourth prince? Why are you back so soon?”

Although they had made some preparations in the early stages, this matter had blown up after all. Even with Pei Qian’s importance to the fourth prince, it wasn’t easy to completely settle it.

Therefore, Lu Ze was surprised to see Pei Qian return so quickly.

“Even if I betray the fourth prince in front of him, he still won’t realize it and might even praise me. Do you believe it?”

In front of Lu Ze, Pei Qian didn’t hide his disdain for the fourth prince at all.

However, Lin Suisui, who was listening to them, was confused. In the end, she couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Since you look down on the fourth prince, why did you help him previously?”

If not for Pei Qian’s previous contributions to the fourth prince, he wouldn’t have been so highly valued by the fourth prince.

Lin Suisui thought that Pei Qian and the fourth prince had a good relationship. After all, they were cousins. With such kinship, they were probably loyal to each other.

However, from Pei Qian’s attitude, it seemed that she was overthinking things.

“The reason I helped him…” Pei Qian glanced at Lin Suisui with indescribable bitterness in his eyes, but he didn’t seem to want to explain. Instead, he turned to look at Lu Ze. “It’s not what you think.”

Hearing Pei Qian and Lu Ze talking in riddles, Lin Suisui only thought that it was something inconvenient to say in front of her, so she didn’t ask further. She stood up with her book as she said to the two of them, “If you guys have something to say, I’ll go back first.”

“Wait,” Pei Qian suddenly stopped Lin Suisui, who was about to leave. “Do you know about the fourth prince’s hidden illness, Madam Liu?”

“What a strange question. How would I know?” Lin Suisui turned around and looked at Pei Qian calmly.

“If you don’t know, that’s fine.” Pei Qian nodded with a smile. “The fourth prince even asked me to help him find a doctor who can treat his hidden illness. If Madam Liu has a suitable doctor, I’ll have to trouble you to introduce him to the fourth prince.”

“Okay.” Lin Suisui didn’t say anything else and simply nodded.

As for whether she would introduce the doctor or not, that was another matter.

This time, Lu Ze and Pei Qian had targeted the Gu family and the Lin family to use this opportunity to completely eliminate corruption in the northern region’s military.

However, although this plan sounded simple, it was quite difficult to execute.

No matter what, the Gu family and the Lin family had considerable influence in the north. After so many years of business development, they already had a complex network of connections in the north.

Now that the two families had been destroyed, their allies were naturally implicated as well.

Among them, the Zhou family and the Song family were naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Zhou Hengchang sat in his seat as he looked at the furious Marquis Sui Ning and his eldest brother and he suddenly couldn’t help but want to laugh.

These two idiots actually wanted to cooperate with the Gu family and the Lin family and use the Zhou family’s influence in the north to control them…

Now that things had developed to this point, not only didn’t the two of them reflect upon themselves, but they even directed their anger at Pei Qian, who had exposed everything.

“No matter how much you hate me, the Zhou family is your family! How dare you hide such a big matter from us?”

Zhou Hengyuan was furious and blamed Zhou Henchang.

Zhou Hengchang was so close to Pei Qian that he was like Mr. Pei’s lackey. He must have known long ago that Pei Qian’s people were going to attack the Gu and Lin families!

However, he had not revealed anything for so long!

He refused to help even though he knew they were doomed!

“Brother, you also know that this matter is closely related to the Zhou family’s future?” Zhou Hengchang slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at Zhou Henyuan, who was standing angrily in the ruins, as he said calmly, “I hid it for the sake of the Zhou Family.”

You wanted me to tell you everything so that you could go to the Gu and Lin families to snitch and implicate the Zhou family even more?”

“You should have at least reminded us!” Sui Ninghou coughed softly. He couldn’t help but speak up for Zhou Hengyuan with a disapproving look. “After all, we have ties to these two families. Isn’t it too ruthless for you to watch them meet their demise without even saying a single word?”

“You mean you want our family to be wiped out with the Lin family?” Zhou Hengchang turned around and looked straight at Marquis Sui Ning as he asked word by word.
