Chapter 256 Seeking Medical Treatment
Everything went as Jing Anle had predicted. After Jing Rou told Qi Zhi in Zhaoyang Palace that they were in love, they started discussing it as soon as they returned to the manor.
It was pitch black outside, but brightly lit inside.
Prince Qing remained expressionless, seemingly deep in thought. Jing Rou was unsure of his intentions, her face showing barely concealed distress.
"Father..."
Jingrou thought that Prince Qing was blaming her, but there was really no other way in that situation. She couldn't really marry into the Southern Frontier.
Princess Qing also tried to mediate, saying, "Your Highness, we should be thinking about what to do now. Rou'er acted rashly."
Prince Qing's expression immediately relaxed, and he burst into laughter, "You don't need to be nervous, Rou'er did a great job this time."
Seeing the surprised expressions on Jing Rou and Princess Qing's faces, Prince Qing continued, "Now is the perfect time to win over Qi Zhi. I believe that with Rou'er's beauty and wit, Qi Zhi will be more than happy to do so."
"He will certainly not suffer any loss by becoming my son-in-law."
Although Jing Rou and Qi Zhi were in an ambiguous relationship, he had never mentioned marriage, leaving her undecided. Princess Qing noticed Jing Rou's hesitation and immediately reassured her, "Rou'er, don't worry, your mother will help you."
“There is another matter that is even more important right now,” Prince Qing added.
"That means Murong Peifeng can no longer be allowed to stay!"
Jing Rou had thought about this before, but hadn't done it due to various reasons.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this."
Jing Rou steeled her heart and obediently said, "Daughter will listen to Father."
……
The next day the weather was fine, but the Pingchang Marquis's residence was shrouded in gloom.
"Useless quack, quack doctor, all of you quack doctors, get out!" Murong Peilin was filled with grief and indignation. As he spoke, he casually threw the doctor's medicine box out, which crashed to the ground at the feet of Murong Qingyun as she entered.
She jumped in fright and said timidly, "Second Brother."
"You may all leave." Murong Peifeng followed.
The doctors all rushed off in a panic.
"Brother, why can't these doctors save Mother?" Murong Peilin couldn't hold back her tears when she saw Murong Peifeng.
Murong Peifeng glanced at Wu Zhihua, the wife of the Marquis, who was lying unconscious on the bed. She had been unconscious ever since she fainted from excessive grief a few days ago. They had invited countless famous doctors and sorcerers over the past few days, but to no avail.
Murong Peifeng patted Murong Peilin on the shoulder and gently comforted him, "Second brother, don't worry. Mother's illness came on strangely. We have already consulted many famous doctors, including the imperial physicians from the palace. In my opinion, we should go and find a famous doctor from the martial arts world."
“I remember your master traveled all over the world and was very knowledgeable. Perhaps he has a way.”
“Yes, brother is right.” Murong Peilin slapped his forehead, as if he had suddenly realized something. Ever since Murong Ruoyan passed away and Wu Zhihua fainted, he had become unkempt and even his brain seemed to have rusted.
"But if we are to search for it, it will probably take some time," Murong Peifeng said with a solemn expression.
"No matter what, we must cure Mother," Murong Peilin said firmly.
“If it weren’t for me…” Murong Peifeng looked at his hands, his face full of disappointment, “I would have gone there myself.”
Murong Peilin immediately refused, "Brother, you are the eldest son in the family, and the Marquis's mansion still needs you to manage it. Besides, although Master's whereabouts are hard to find, I do have some ways to find him."
"In short, elder brother, leave this matter to me. I will definitely find Master and bring him back to cure Mother," Murong Peilin said confidently.
"You've worked hard, second brother."
Murong Qingyun watched from the sidelines and felt that the two brothers' friendship had deepened considerably. She was deeply moved, but little did she know that it was all an illusion.
