I thought that if I told the truth, Marquis Huaifeng would not be angry with me or have a good attitude, but the result was much better than I expected.
Huang Yu finally figured it out. Although Marquis Huaifeng was disappointed and sad, he might have already guessed the outcome and was mentally prepared.
It is not difficult to understand. Any doctor who has had contact with the Marquis of Huaifeng's Mansion does not know that Fang Xiaohou's leg injury is very serious.
It would be nice to be able to save my life now. It is wishful thinking to hope that the injured leg will recover as before without lameness at all.
Huang Yu was thinking about this, thanked the Marquis for the reward, and went out without wanting to stay at all.
When I walked to the road, I saw a young boy hurried in and passed by.
In the study, the steward Fang Zhong just sent Doctor Huang out, then turned around and came in. Suddenly he knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Master Hou, please save the prince!"
"You get up first." Marquis Huaifeng looked down at the man on the ground who was talking and kowtowing, and frowned.
The steward Fang Zhong couldn't help but kowtowed: "Master Marquis, the prince is the eldest son of you and your wife. You have watched him grow up! Eunuch Ma is narrow-minded and will do whatever it takes to fight for power, which may endanger his life." How can you just watch the prince's life, Lord Marquis! As long as you say a word, the prince can live! Please save the prince!"
The steward is not young anymore, and he has watched the eldest son Fang Zhen grow up. Fang Zhen has always been kind to the servants of the Hou Mansion, especially the old servant, the steward. The steward had lost a son that year, and he was about the same age as Fang Zhen. There had been empathy, and Fang Zhen was the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, and his steward was loyal to Huaifeng Hou. Naturally, he did not want to see Huaifeng Hou's eldest son die like this, so he kept kowtowing and asked Huaifeng Hou to save the eldest son.
"Master Marquis, even if it's for Madam..." Seeing Master Marquis sitting still, the steward's heart sank, but he kept talking.
Marquis Huaifeng sighed and said, "You, I know my wife was kind to you back then. You should get up first. Don't worry, Ma Eunuch has promised me that as long as Zhen'er cooperates with him, Zhen'er's life will not be harmed." "
The steward raised his head, already crying, and choked with sobs: "But what if the prince refuses?"
The prince refuses?
Marquis Huaifeng thought of Eunuch Ma's expression and tone when he spoke to him, and his heart trembled, and he sighed: "Then it depends on his fate."
This is not to say that the Huaifenghou Mansion is a soft persimmon. The Houfu itself is a Houfu and one of the founding princes. It has a lot of potential connections and power. It can be hard-topped, but it can make the Huaifenghou Mansion a doomed cripple. It's not worth it for my son to offend Eunuch Ma.
He asked Huang Yu just now just to make the final decision.
The eldest son Fang Zhen has good legs and can attack the nobles. Even if he offends Eunuch Ma, he still has to save the eldest son.
But who told the eldest son’s legs that he couldn’t heal at all?
After recovering from an injury, he will become a cripple. How can a cripple attack a noble? How to serve His Majesty? Being an official requires that one's appearance and body be intact. Fang Zhen's injury meant that his future was ruined.
A son whose future is destined to be ruined, and a chief eunuch who cannot afford to offend, no matter how you think about it, you should choose the latter.
But even though he had made up his mind, the thought of giving up the eldest son he had raised made Marquis Huaifeng feel tight in his chest, he closed his eyes, and a trace of tears appeared.
"Rui Niang, when you went there and held my hand before you died, I promised that I would never let Zhen'er lose her mother. But now...well, after all, the Hou Mansion is the second generation and the third generation. Come on, how can I fight with Eunuch Ma?"
With no other choice, a servant suddenly came in, knelt down and said, "Master Marquis, I have entered the palace on behalf of the king!"
Acting king? The acting king is here?
Marquis Huaifeng knew that his eldest son, Fang Zhen, had a relationship with the king. Dai Wang had come to Huaifenghou's mansion for his eldest son before. Now when he heard this, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
After standing there for a long time, just lost in thought, Huaifeng Hou finally put his hands together and said to the void outside the door: "Ancestors bless you, ancestors bless you!"
As a father, he didn't dare to offend Eunuch Ma and anger His Majesty to save his eldest son. Now that the acting king had come and his eldest son was saved, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief immediately.
"No matter what, even if you leave the house, you can always remain useful."
"well……"
The sigh of Marquis Huaifeng was heard for a long time, but in the courtyard where no sound could be heard, there were more than a dozen people standing outside the door and window. They were not servants of the Marquis Mansion. They all looked strange and held long knives, with a sinister aura. .
In the corridor not far away, there were several maids standing there who wanted to get closer but didn't dare. One of the maids heard the sound coming from inside and looked unbearable.
I heard someone in the room say: "Mr. Fang, although you are no longer from the Imperial City Division, you have also been in the Imperial City Division. You should know the rules of the Imperial City Division. Only by cooperating can you get good results."
The man who spoke was wearing the official uniform of Baihu. After saying this, he looked at Fang Zhen's legs where he was sitting, and his expression became more and more contemptuous.
"We've been talking for a long time, so let's speak plainly!"
"If you were the Crown Prince, of course we wouldn't dare to do anything to you, but you are no longer the Crown Prince of Huaifenghou, and you no longer have the official status of Mingli. Even if you die of illness tomorrow, it is still possible. Mr. Fang, I advise you. , it’s better to be aware of current affairs.”
"Oh? You are just a member of a hundred households, so you are so bold and dare to openly threaten the children of the Hou family?"
Before Fang Zhen could show his angry face, the door suddenly kicked open and a voice came in at the same time: "Someone told me before that the Imperial City Secretary was unruly and unrestrained. I didn't believe it. Now that I heard this, I really believe it."
"Who?!" Baihu turned around immediately and saw a young man coming in from the outside with a sneer.
It was daytime, so the room was no longer dark. Once the door was opened, the light became brighter. Hundreds of households could naturally see who the young man was who came in, and a bucket of cold water suddenly poured down!
Is the acting king here?
No matter how much surprise you feel in your heart, if you are a hundred households, even if you are a hundred households of the Imperial City Division, facing a prince, you can only kneel down immediately: "I am a humble household of the Imperial City Division, and I will bow to the king."
Su Ziji ignored him. When he came in and took a look, he saw Fang Zhen sitting on the couch. He looked haggard and really embarrassed. Back then, he and he were known as the third young master in the capital.
There is no wonder in fate than this.
Su Ziji's eyes flashed, and he sighed, without even looking at the hundreds of households kneeling on the ground, and said to the people who followed him in: "We can't stay here any longer. Someone, please carry Mr. Fang out and go back to the palace with me! "
Baihu, who was kneeling on the ground, was dumbfounded. When he saw someone coming forward to lift someone, he stood up quickly and said, "Your Majesty, please wait!"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Fang was involved in the smuggling case of Rubao Trading Company a few months ago. Because it was related to the purchase in the palace, Eunuch Ma sent a special agent to inquire. This, he just started asking, but there is no result yet. Your Majesty, you We can’t just take him away!”
"It's really hard to explain my humble position."
As he was lifting Eunuch Ma up, Su Ziji unexpectedly gave him a crisp slap in the face!
"You bastard!"
"Taizu has laws. The founding heroes and noble sons have iron cards that exempt them from death and reduce their crimes. Even if they commit a crime, they must have a decree before they can be interrogated."
"Fang Zhen is still the eldest son of the Hou Mansion. If he is guilty, he will have his own will. When will it be the turn of hundreds of households like you to question him?"
