Chapter 222 The Prince Expels People
When Yin Hua saw the prince coming back, she kowtowed several times to express her gratitude.
"My Lord, I heard that you saved my young lady. I am so grateful to you. I have no way to repay you, so I can only kowtow to you a few more times to express my gratitude."
The prince thought that the maidservant beside Qianhuan was quite good, at least she was loyal to her master.
He said, "From now on, just take good care of your young lady, and that will be the best way to thank me."
Yin Hua just felt that Prince An was a really nice person, not at all as unkind as the rumors said.
She nodded quickly, "Yes, this slave will definitely do it."
There is a bathroom in the prince's room that is specially used for bathing, with a large bathtub inside.
The servants in the mansion carried buckets of boiled hot water into the bathroom, and Bai Lingxuan sprinkled all the prepared medicinal herbs into the large bathtub.
Doctor Bai came out of the bath room and said to the prince, "Prince, the medicinal bath is ready. Please carry Miss Qianhuan into the bathtub in the bath room and let her soak."
Meng Yuanzhou was immediately displeased when he heard this, "I won't bother cousin Zi Yu with this matter, I can just carry her in."
Having said that, Meng Yuanzhou stood up and walked towards the bed, ready to hug Qianhuan.
Unexpectedly, the prince stopped him. Meng Yuanzhou was confused and asked, "Zi Yu, why are you stopping me?"
The Crown Prince and Meng Yuanzhou usually have a very good relationship. However, since he knew that Meng Yuanzhou also liked Qianhuan, the Crown Prince still had some concerns.
He thought about telling Meng Yuanzhou after a while that he and Qianhuan had actually known each other for a long time, and that they had even kissed each other and slept in each other's arms, and that Qianhuan could only marry him in this life.
But now, he really couldn't bear it anymore. He thought about just confronting Meng Yuanzhou and declaring his sovereignty.
The prince was about to speak, but Yin Hua had already explained to Meng Yuanzhou on his behalf, "Young Marquis, the prince must think that there is a difference between men and women. If you were to carry my young lady to the bathing room, it would definitely damage her reputation."
Meng Yuanzhou nodded and said, "Well, Yinhua, you are right. This will indeed damage Qianhuan's reputation. But except for me, everyone here is a man. At least I like Qianhuan and want to marry her home in the future, so it is best for me to carry her into the bathroom."
As he spoke, Meng Yuanzhou was about to push away the prince's hand that was stopping him, and was about to go forward to hug someone.
As a result, Yin Hua retorted, "Young Marquis, who said that everyone here is a man? Am I not a woman?"
Meng Yuanzhou looked Yin Hua up and down. He found that Yin Hua was tall, but not very fleshy.
He said with disdain, "Tsk, how much strength can a little girl like you have? Can you hold her up..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was stunned by the scene before him.
Yin Hua easily picked up Qian Huan who was lying on the bed, and Meng Yuanzhou suddenly felt his face being slapped.
He pointed at Yin Hua in disbelief and said, "How come you are so strong, little girl?"
Yin Hua carried her young lady in her arms as she walked towards the bathroom, saying, "I was born strong, and the young lady bought me because I was stronger than an ordinary person."
The prince was very happy because Yin Hua had ruined Meng Yuanzhou's good fortune.
He couldn't help but give Yin Hua another point in his heart. The girl next to his Huan'er was great and awesome.
After Yin Hua entered the bath room and put Qian Huan down, she ran out and said to everyone, "Please ask the prince and the marquis to take these grown men out immediately. I am going to take off my young lady's clothes and give her a medicinal bath."
When they heard this, they all walked out of the room in embarrassment.
Yinhua was still worried, so she ran out and locked the door before going in to take off Qianhuan's clothes.
After carrying Qianhuan into the bathtub, Yinhua stayed beside the bathtub and watched her young lady.
If the water was cold, she would quickly add hot water. If Qianhuan accidentally slipped into the bathtub, she would quickly lift her up to prevent her from drowning.
This is really a sweet and loyal little girl.
The grown men left the room and went to the front hall of the Prince's Mansion to drink tea.
Meng Yuanzhou picked up the teacup and took a sip. He felt a little confused and couldn't help asking the prince, "Zi Yu, aren't you always cold to girls? Why did you show such kindness to save Qian Huan this time? Did you know each other before?"
The prince also took a sip of tea, and then he replied, "Well, Qianhuan and I have known each other for a long time. The Imperial College's chief academic officer is our teacher. So, I am her senior fellow student."
Meng Yuanzhou couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea. It was obvious that he was shocked by the news.
"What? You are actually Qianhuan's senior brother? How is that possible?"
He continued, "Haven't you been in Beijing all this time? And Qianhuan hasn't been in Beijing for long. How come I've never heard her mention you as her senior brother? Ziyu, did you recognize the wrong person?"
"It's a long story. I can only tell you that we knew each other before she came to Beijing, but she didn't know my identity at the time. However, I will tell her when she wakes up."
Meng Yuanzhou was a little careless. At this moment, he didn't realize that the prince in front of him was his love rival.
He also said to the prince with a hint of reproach, "Zi Yu, this is your fault. Since you are our Qian Huan's senior brother, why did you hide your true identity from her? If everyone knew that she had a senior brother like you, the God of War General, as a backer, how could Princess Ning Jia dare to bully our Qian Huan in the street?"
Upon hearing this, the prince's face immediately turned gloomy, "You said that Princess Ning Jia had bullied her in the street?"
"Yes, they whipped her in the street. Fortunately, Commander Qian stopped them. However, Princess Ningjia still slapped Qianhuan in the face, and her face was swollen. If I hadn't stepped in to stop it, I don't know how badly she would have been bullied. I think this incident was probably the work of Princess Ningjia. When I find out the truth, I will punish the murderer severely and help her get revenge."
The prince silently made a note of Princess Ning Jia in his heart: Princess Ning Jia, if it is found out that it was really you who did it, I will not let you off easily.
Even after the tea had been refilled several times, Meng Yuanzhou still stayed in the Prince's Mansion and refused to go back.
The prince looked at his number one love rival and couldn't help but find him an eyesore.
He decided to start chasing people away directly, "Yuan Zhou, it's getting late, don't you need to go back to the mansion for dinner? The prince's mansion has not prepared dinner for you."
"It's okay, I'm not hungry. I want to wait for Qianhuan to wake up, then take her out for dinner and then send her home."
When the prince heard that Meng Yuanzhou actually had this idea, he immediately wanted to drive him back even more.
He secretly pulled Bai Lingxuan aside and said, "Lingxuan, quickly find an excuse to send Meng Yuanzhou away. Don't let him stand here and get in the way of this prince."
Doctor Bai was somewhat speechless, "My Lord, you two brothers have fallen in love with the same woman, and it is not appropriate for me, an outsider, to get involved. You should just send him away."
The prince glanced at Divine Doctor Bai with a slightly threatening look, "Okay, if you don't want to get involved, then I will send someone to the palace to tell the Seventh Princess that you have returned to the capital, but are hiding and don't want to see her."
When the Seventh Princess was mentioned, Bai Lingxuan suddenly had a headache. He had no choice but to agree, "Okay, okay, okay, isn't it enough for me to promise you? I will find an excuse to let him go, but if he refuses to leave, don't blame me."
The prince nodded.
Bai Lingxuan walked over and said to Meng Yuanzhou, "Young Marquis, Miss Qianhuan needs at least an hour and a half of medicinal bathing before she wakes up. It's a waste of time for you to wait here. Why don't you go back to the princess's mansion to eat first? When she wakes up, we will send someone to notify you."
Meng Yuanzhou shook his head and said, "No, I must wait here for Qianhuan to wake up. I hope that the first person she sees when she wakes up is me."
Bai Lingxuan looked at the prince helplessly. His eyes seemed to be saying, "Look, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that this big Buddha can't be moved at all."
The prince didn't want Qianhuan to see Meng Yuanzhou the first thing after waking up, and he didn't want Meng Yuanzhou to take his beloved girl out to dinner and personally send her home.
Finally, the prince was really at his wit's end. He made up his mind and ordered the secret guards to carry the young marquis out of the mansion, and the reason he gave was quite novel.
"This prince likes quietness. You all are standing here, and this prince feels a headache."
In order to show that he really wanted some peace and quiet, the prince drove Bai Lingxuan out of the mansion as well.
Anyway, the poison was removed after Qianhuan took the medicinal bath, so there was no point for Bai Lingxuan to stay in the Prince's Mansion. He was eager to leave as soon as possible.
But Meng Yuanzhou refused to leave. He was held by the secret guards. He was so angry that he didn't even call Zi Yu his cousin, but started cursing him by calling the prince by his name.
"Teng Yu, you are such a moody guy. You actually chased people away without hesitation. How can you treat your own brothers like this? How can you bear to do that?"
