I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Novel - Chapter 288
288 Concern
“Of course I remember.” Lu Ze nodded and turned to give Su Qi, who was standing at the side, a look.
Without any hesitation, Su Qi came over and lifted the thick blanket on the fourth prince’s body. Then, he carried the fourth prince, who was only wearing a single shirt, over his shoulder. Under Princess Ning Fu’s dumbfounded gaze, he carried him out of the door in a few steps and threw him into a snow nest that had been piled up after the servants cleaned the courtyard…
“Mr. Pei, this, this…”
Princess Ning Fu, who had rushed out of the room after them, was dumbfounded when she saw the scene in front of her and almost fainted.
!!
This was the fourth prince!
How could he just throw the fourth prince into the snow?! What if he suffered hypothermia?
“Don’t worry, Princess. When we were in the army previously, when we encountered anyone with a high fever, this was basically how we dealt with them.” Lu Ze glanced at Princess Ning Fu, who was screaming beside him, as he explained seriously.
“But what if he freezes?” Although Princess Ning Fu was worried sick, she still didn’t dare to refute Lu Ze. She could only try her best to reason with him. “He’s the fourth prince. Moreover, I heard that the fourth prince has never been in the army before!
I’m afraid he won’t be able to tolerate such a rough method!”
“Su Qi, keep an eye on him. When it’s about time, bring the fourth prince back.” Lu Ze didn’t respond to Princess Ning Fu. Instead, he instructed Su Qi, who was still standing by the snow nest, “Also, see if his condition improves later. If not, throw him here again.”
It was unknown if this method really worked or if the fourth prince woke up on his own, but not long after Su Qi carried the fourth prince, whose face was pale from the cold, back to his room and placed him under a warm blanket, the fourth prince, who had been unconscious for more than a day, opened his eyes. Although he still looked a little groggy, at least he woke up.
“Fourth Prince, are you alright?” When Pei Qian saw the fourth prince open his eyes, he pulled Princess Ning Fu, who was closest to the bed, away. Then, Pei Qian approached the bed and looked at him with an anxious expression.
“Song Tao… Song Tao, is that really you?” The fourth prince stared at Pei Qian for a long time until he was really sure that the person in front of him was Pei Qian. Then, his eyes turned red, as if he was a child who saw his parents after suffering an ordeal. Tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes. “I… I’ve finally seen you!”
“Fourth Prince, don’t move yet. You’re still injured and have just been treated. If you pull on your wound, it’ll be even more painful.” When facing the fourth prince, Pei Qian acted completely differently and his eyes were red.
Lu Ze watched in amusement for a while. Not long after, he felt bored. Without saying anything, he turned around and left the room quietly. He stood under the roof as he waited for Pei Qian to finish.
However, to Lu Ze’s surprise, Princess Ning Fu followed him out of the room. She stood beside him as he said in a low voice, “Mr. Gu, this trip must have been hard on you!”
Seeing that Lu Ze didn’t respond, Princess Ning Fu hesitated for a moment before moving closer to him and saying softly, “I know that Duke Huai Yang’s ministry was in the wrong previously. After we return this time, I’m willing to personally go apologize to Madam Liu.”
Princess Ning Fu naturally didn’t express goodwill to Lu Ze for no reason.
She had actually thought it through just now. No matter what, Pei Qian was the fourth prince’s biological cousin. He was the fourth prince’s most reliable supporter and the person he trusted the most!
Therefore, if she wanted to fulfill her wish, she definitely had to think of a way to befriend Pei Qian!
However, after interacting with him a few times, she could feel that Pei Qian wasn’t easy to get close to. Therefore, after thinking about it, the best way was to start with the people around him!
Gu Erlang seemed to have a close relationship with Pei Qian. If she could build a good relationship with Gu Erlang’s family first, wouldn’t that be equivalent to getting close to Pei Qian and the fourth prince?
After thinking it through, Princess Ning Fu didn’t hesitate anymore. Seeing Lu Ze come out, she took the opportunity to follow him and get closer to him.
As long as she could achieve her goal, she was willing to act humble!
“What do you want?” After Lu Ze listened to Princess Ning Fu mutter in his ear for a long time, he finally couldn’t take it anymore and interrupted her self-reproach.
“I just feel that I made a mistake previously and want to apologize to Madam Liu!” Princess Ning Fu’s expression froze, but she quickly regained her senses and tried her best to maintain the smile on her face. She wanted to convince Lu Ze, as well as herself.
“You’ve taken a fancy to the fourth prince?” Lu Ze immediately guessed her motive. From Princess Ning Fu’s attitude towards the fourth prince in the room previously, it wasn’t difficult to guess what Princess Ning Fu wanted.
After he paused for a moment, without waiting for Princess Ning Fu’s answer, he continued with a smile, “Princess, do you know that the fourth prince is already engaged? The emperor personally bestowed the marriage. Do you want to become the fourth prince’s concubine?”
“They’re just engaged. They’re not married yet! Besides, everything can change. Even if they get married, they still might get a divorce!”
Princess Ning Fu’s expression changed slightly when Lu Ze exposed her thoughts. Seeing that she couldn’t hide it, she stopped pretending and looked at Lu Ze as she said, “Why can’t I fight for what I want?”
“You’re quite ambitious!” Lu Ze nodded. He didn’t mock Princess Ning Fu, as she had expected. Instead, he raised his hands and applauded. Then, he said, “However, although you’re so ambitious, aren’t you using it on the wrong person?
Even if you find my wife, she doesn’t know the fourth prince!
“I think that if you really have a plan, you should think of a way to persuade Mr. Pei! After all, Mr. Pei is the person the fourth prince trusts the most!”
“But Mr. Pei doesn’t have time to listen to me now.” Princess Ning Fu bit her lip. Lu Ze’s words had given her hope, so she walked up to Lu Ze and looked up at him as she said pleadingly, “You know my current difficulties. I really want you to help me!
If I can get what I want in the future, I will definitely return the favor and be forever grateful to you!”
