Chapter 121 The Prince's Social Death
"This……"
The waiter looked a little embarrassed and said, "We have a rule in Huichuntang that we cannot disclose the customer's prescription. Please forgive me, young lady."
Song Shiwei took out a seal from her bosom and asked, "Can we talk now?"
The guy's eyes widened when he saw the seal.
He reacted quickly and bowed to Song Shiwei, stammering, "So it's Dong... Dong, I'm so blind.
The lady just now grabbed medicine for treating external and internal injuries.
The prescriptions use some relatively expensive medicinal materials, which can only be purchased in Huichuntang."
Hearing that it was medicine for treating external and internal injuries, Song Shiwei couldn't help but feel curious.
Who on earth was injured that required Wen Ruqing to come personally to get medicine?
She turned and left Huichun Hall, but Wen Ruqing's carriage was nowhere to be seen.
outside the city.
Wen Ruqing sat in the wobbly carriage with an ugly look on his face.
Her life has been smooth sailing. Apart from the fact that her marriage was not to her liking, she has not encountered any bad things.
But ever since Song Shiwei appeared, her limelight has been stolen.
Not only that, the woman also repeatedly opposed her and did not take her seriously.
More importantly, she felt that Song Shiwei and Prince Ling had an unusual relationship.
At the banquet in the Marquis' Mansion, Prince Ling supported Song Shiwei to win the bet, and when Song Shiwei wanted to divorce her husband in front of the emperor, it was Prince Ling who strongly supported her.
Now, Song Shiwei's No. 1 Scholar's Mansion and Prince Ling's Mansion are only separated by a street.
And she didn't like other women being too close to Prince Ling.
"Miss."
Bai Xue, the maidservant who followed her, asked, "Why did you condescend to go and get medicine for Shen Linchuan in person?
If others knew that we took him in, it would damage your reputation, young lady."
Everyone knows that the Shen family is now hated by everyone, like rats crossing the street. She is always a little worried about being associated with such people.
They were afraid that their young lady would be infected with the bad luck of the Shen family.
Wen Ruqing said coldly: "What do you know? Song Shiwei caused the Shen family to be destroyed. They must hate Song Shiwei more than I do.
Song Shiwei is now in her prime, and is also appreciated by His Majesty. It is not convenient for me to deal with her, so let someone else do it."
She snorted, “People at the end of their ropes are the best swords.
I believe Shen Linchuan will remember my kindness to him and sacrifice his life to serve me."
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. She helped Shen Linchuan just to get the Shen family to help her deal with Song Shiwei.
She wanted to step on Song Shiwei, make her fall into the abyss, and never get up again.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a villa in the mountains.
Although this place is not big, it has beautiful scenery and is most suitable for recuperation.
After the Shen family was brought here, they were properly resettled.
The old lady's body had already been buried, and Shen Linzhou personally took his mother's coffin back to Qingzhou early in the morning.
This was his mother's last wish before she died, he wanted to bury his mother next to his father.
Because Shen Linchuan was still injured, he left Shen Suyun to take care of him.
The doctor treated Shen Linchuan's wounds last night, but his injuries were too severe and he had a high fever.
The doctor said that Shen Linchuan's condition was critical. Shen Suyun was so scared that she stayed up all night without sleeping. Fortunately, Shen Linchuan's fever subsided in the morning.
When Wen Ruqing came, Shen Suyun was resting next door. She handed the medicine to the servant and then came to the room.
Shen Linchuan woke up when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
Looking at Wen Ruqing who appeared here, he coughed a few times and said in a weak voice: "Thank you Miss Wen for saving my life."
Wen Ruqing was a little surprised: "Do you know me?"
Shen Linchuan said: "I had the honor of meeting Miss Wen before when I was in the capital."
That was when he first arrived in the capital and was full of vigor and vitality. When his classmates learned that he was going to marry the daughter of the Marquis of Cheng'en, they held a banquet in his honor.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, he happened to see a gorgeous carriage parked in front of the door of the Treasure Pavilion opposite, and the person in the carriage was Wen Ruqing.
Wen Ruqing is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and is engaged to the Crown Prince. Her status is the most noble among the noble ladies in the capital.
But he was just a poor scholar from a poor family, and it was not easy for him to marry into the family of Cheng Enbo.
He never expected that one day he would have the opportunity to be rescued by the young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
I guess God thought he wasn't destined to die.
"Do you know why I saved you?"
Wen Ruqing did not come to the villa with them yesterday because the Shen family was carrying a dead body with them and she felt it was unlucky.
If Song Shiwei hadn't been so successful, she wouldn't have chosen to associate with Shen Linchuan.
"know."
Shen Linchuan's eyes were heavy, he secretly clenched his hands and said: "Song Shiwei asked for permission to divorce her husband in front of the emperor, which made me lose all face.
She drove my mother out and caused her to die on the street. I will settle every single thing with her."
Wen Ruqing asked him: "Then how do you plan to calculate it?
I don't want to save a useless person. If you don't have the ability, I won't spare your life."
Shen Linchuan looked up at her: "Miss Wen, do you think that Song Shiwei has sent me to hell and there is no chance of recovery?"
He chuckled: "Miss Wen, do you want to make a bet with me?"
"Oh?"
Wen Ruqing asked him: "What are you betting on?"
Shen Linchuan said: "Let's bet on whether I can turn things around, but I need Miss Wen to help me deliver a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"You want to join the prince?"
Wen Ruqing thought he was dreaming. Shen Linchuan was stripped of his honors by the emperor because of cheating in the imperial examination and was not allowed to enter the official career.
Who dares to disobey His Majesty's order and reuse Shen Linchuan at this time?
She sneered: "I'm afraid you haven't realized your situation yet."
Shen Linchuan naturally knew his situation, but he had absolute confidence that he could fight back and be valued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He said, "You can think of me as struggling to my death, but how can we know it won't work if we don't try?"
Seeing him like this, Wen Ruqing couldn't guess for a moment whether he was desperate and trying anything possible, or if he had the confidence to be valued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
She also wanted to see if he had the ability to do so.
So he agreed and said, "Okay, I'll help you deliver the letter.
But let me be frank with you, if His Royal Highness ignores you, then you will have no chance to serve me."
"it is good."
Shen Linchuan responded in a deep voice.
This is his last chance, and he believes that the Crown Prince will be very interested in what he has.
……
The No. 1 Scholar’s Mansion.
When Xiao Jingheng came back from the morning court, he heard that Song Shiwei had moved into the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion.
He went back to change his clothes, then climbed over the wall through the back door and entered Song Shiwei's yard.
As soon as he landed, he saw several pairs of eyes fixed on him.
"Hey, isn't this His Royal Highness Prince Ling? I thought it was some little thief from somewhere.
You dare to trespass into the mansion of the top scholar in broad daylight. You are really asking for your life."
Tao Wenyuan covered her lips and found it funny to see Xiao Jingheng being caught red-handed while climbing over the wall.
Qin Yueyao, who was sitting next to him, pretended to know nothing and asked, "Your Highness Prince Ling, why are you climbing over the wall instead of going through the main gate?
Such petty behavior is not your style, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Jingheng: “…”
Well, he has completely lost face!
