Chapter 186: Saving Song Likang
The next morning, the sun had just risen and the warm sunlight was shining on the earth. Tang Peipei took Xiaotuanzi and rode in the general's carriage and slowly drove back to the princess's mansion.
At the gate of the Princess's Mansion, the guards stood in high spirits. When they saw the little Tuanzi's carriage approaching, they immediately greeted it respectfully. After the carriage stopped, a guard gently opened the door and carefully helped the little Tuanzi out of the car.
After entering the Princess's Mansion, Xiaotuanzi said goodbye to Tang Peipei and headed for the courtyard that Princess Qinghe had set aside for him to study. He had to go to the teacher's class. Along the way, the servants greeted her one after another, their eyes full of respect. Xiaotuanzi responded to everyone's greetings with a smile, showing her approachable side.
It seems that little Tuanzi was well educated in the Princess's Mansion and did not become arrogant because of the change in his status. Tang Peipei felt more at ease raising little Tuanzi in the Princess's Mansion.
Since Tang Peipei came to the Princess's Mansion, she naturally had to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.
When she finally arrived at the door of the Princess's Mansion, Princess Qinghe had just finished her breakfast. Seeing her, she smiled and asked her to sit down.
"How did the incident a few days ago end up?" Princess Qinghe held Tang Peipei's hand and asked with concern.
"The third prince is not making any movement at the moment." Tang Peipei smiled slightly and answered softly.
"That's good." Princess Qinghe nodded. "I heard that he hosted a banquet for the famous families in the capital two days ago, and also made sapphires from foreign countries into jewelry and gave them to his future wife?"
"Well, that's true. I think it's to refute the rumors spread by the people that he is stingy." Tang Peipei couldn't help laughing as he said this.
"That should be it. Sapphires are very rare, and there are only a few of them. The emperor rewarded them to several princes. I didn't expect the third prince to be so generous this time." Princess Qinghe smiled as she spoke.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law did not expect that he would be willing to spend so much money for a few jokes." But she did not say that when she asked someone to pass on this message, she wanted to make the third prince bleed heavily.
Tang Peipei was secretly proud in his heart. Although there was no substantial harm to the Third Prince this time, he must have felt pained to give away the sapphire, right?
"But this also shows that he cares a lot about his reputation." Tang Peipei said thoughtfully.
"He doesn't care about his reputation, he just cares too much about face. With his temper, he would probably kill the person to vent his anger after hearing people say that. I think he must be concerned about the emperor's love for the people, so this time he used this method to resolve the rumors outside." Princess Qinghe said.
Tang Peipei's eyes lit up. As a mother-in-law, she actually understood the character of the third prince.
According to the news reported by the secret guards, it is indeed true.
After hearing this, the third prince really wanted to kill someone, but was stopped by his adviser.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted about some trivial matters.
Princess Qinghe originally wanted to keep Tang Peipei for lunch, but unexpectedly, someone from the general's mansion came to take her away.
Tang Peipei was taken back to the general's mansion by people arranged by Mu Jintang. Before she entered the mansion, Mu Jintang, who came out of the mansion, pushed her into the carriage.
The carriage sped all the way until it stopped in front of a tall gate.
The carriage was running fast, and Mu Jintang held Tang Peipei in his arms all the way, and Tang Peipei did not feel any discomfort.
Tang Peipei got off the carriage and saw the words "Song Mansion" written on the door of the house.
Tang Peipei looked at Mu Jintang with a puzzled expression.
But the situation was urgent, and there was really no time to explain to Tang Peipei, so he could only pull her towards the mansion while saying, "It's Song Yichen's fourth uncle who is ill, and the situation is a bit urgent."
When Tang Peipei heard that Song Yichen's relative was sick and the condition was quite serious, she naturally did not dare to delay and quickened her pace and followed Mu Jintang inside.
When they arrived at Song Kekang's yard, they saw men, women, young and old standing in the yard.
An old man with white hair saw them coming and hurried forward to salute.
Mu Jintang quickly supported the old man and said, "Master Song, there is no need to do this. Let my wife go and see how Fourth Master Song is doing."
Only then did Tang Peipei realize that the person in front of him was the scholar Song who was praised by everyone and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a man of great learning.
Song Siwei quickly made a gesture of invitation and had someone take Tang Peipei into the inner room.
Tang Peipei walked into the inner room and saw Song Kekang lying on the bed with a pale face and weak breathing. She quickly checked his condition and found that Song Kekang's condition was more serious than she thought.
Tang Peipei immediately used her medical skills to provide first aid. She took out a silver needle and skillfully inserted it into Song Kekang's acupuncture points, then gently massaged him to help clear his meridians.
Everyone watched Tang Peipei's movements nervously, expecting a miracle to happen. After a while, Song Kekang's breathing gradually stabilized and his complexion improved slightly.
Tang Peipei breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned to the Song family. "Mr. Song's condition has temporarily stabilized, but further treatment is needed. I will prescribe some medicine. You should give him the medicine according to the prescription and pay attention to diet and rest."
The Song family nodded repeatedly, expressing their gratitude to Tang Peipei. Mu Jintang also smiled with satisfaction, and held Tang Peipei's hand tightly, "Thank you, Peipei."
Tang Peipei smiled and shook her head, "This is what I should do. Saving lives is important." After that, she went to write down the prescription and gave it to the Song family.
After Tang Peipei explained the precautions, she and Mu Jintang left the Song Mansion together.
The Song family originally wanted to keep the two of them for lunch, after all, it was already lunch time, but Mu Jintang politely declined.
Fourth Master Song had just settled down, and the Song family members had probably just relaxed as well. It was really not suitable for him to entertain the couple, and their staying would only add to the burden on the Song family.
Tang Peipei knew that Mu Jintang and Song Yichen had a good relationship, so after getting on the carriage, she took the initiative to say: "Mr. Song's condition is indeed very serious, but if they can strictly follow what I say and insist on taking the medicine I prescribed, they will definitely recover." Tang Peipei said worriedly.
"That's good." Mu Jintang felt relieved after hearing his wife's words, "Mr. Song will be blessed by heaven, and everything will be fine."
Tang Peipei nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I didn't seem to see Song Yichen in the Song Mansion just now."
"He went out for something. We received some news about the third prince last night, so he rushed over to investigate. He hasn't come back yet." Mu Jintang explained.
"I see." Tang Peipei expressed her understanding, then leaned back in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.
Mu Jintang looked at her tired appearance and felt a little distressed. "If you are tired, take a nap. I will call you when we get home."
"Okay." Tang Peipei responded and fell asleep not long after.
Mu Jintang gently adjusted her sitting position so that she could sleep more comfortably, and then drove the carriage towards the general's mansion.
