Chapter 340 - 325: One More Update Part 2
Zheng Nianru had just woken up, feeling somewhat disinclined to move. The fatigue and weakness from the night before made her all the more dependent on the embrace she was in.
Prince Duan grew impatient. Was she moving so slowly because she was uncomfortable?
Qi Ling immediately jumped over and grabbed Prince Duan.
"Prince—," Qi Ling first bowed, successfully using his height advantage to block Prince Duan’s view, "The physician said that the Commandery Princess’s condition isn’t very good. She needs to rest well these next few days. The physician will come again in the afternoon. The prescription has been fetched as ordered by the Crown Prince, and it will be delivered to the Prince’s Mansion shortly," Qi Ling continued, taking another step forward.
"Prince—," Prince Duan frowned. His mind was preoccupied with Nian Ru; he had no interest in listening to Qi Ling.
Moreover, what was Zheng Congyuan thinking? He had trusted the people from Zheng Congyuan to escort Nian Ru safely, so why did they leave halfway? Had he known, he would have brought Nian Ru back himself.
"Prince, the Crown Prince said that, even if this matter is Heir Zong’s fault, the Prince should first restrain his anger. After all, the status of the Zong Sheng Aristocratic Family is there..." Qi Ling spoke, and sure enough, he saw Prince Duan frown, his anger rising from his belly in a flash to his chest. It didn’t reach his throat only because he was one of the Crown Prince’s men.
"This matter will be handled appropriately by this Prince," Prince Duan huffed coldly. Did he really have to guess what Zheng Congyuan was implying? He really thought his daughter would cling to such a family? What of the Zong Sheng Aristocratic Family? If it hadn’t been for him, the Duke of Qing, personally going to their door, he wouldn’t have even considered it...
"Yes, Prince," seeing that he had achieved his objective, Qi Ling watched as the curtains of the carriage were slowly opened. Zheng Nianru, supported by Xing Yu, slowly got out of the carriage. Fu Dong followed, while Nanny Yun didn’t dare to move away, fearing that Prince Duan might notice something amiss.
