The medical sage glanced at King Pingnan and said, "When the prince asked me to treat the second young master's leg, I was willing to spend one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Now that I want to extend my son's life, the prince will be reluctant to part with it, right?"
King Pingnan: "..."
He had the feeling that his son and outsiders were teaming up to steal his money.
At this moment, Zong Zheng looked at him with a dark face. If he dared to give up the money, Zong Zheng would hit him with a cane.
It's just that Prince Pingnan's palace doesn't have much money to begin with, so how can it afford such an expense?
He took a deep breath and said: "Medical Saint, don't worry, I will definitely pay the consultation fee."
The medical sage handed an IOU to King Pingnan and said, "That means I won't pay now. Please sign this IOU first."
King Pingnan: "..."
This IOU looks like it was written before!
The medical sage explained: "During the time I lived in the palace, the people I saw in the palace were either injured one way or the other."
"I was afraid that the prince would not be able to pay the medical expenses, so I prepared several IOUs early."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am a doctor with medical ethics, and I believe that Your Majesty is also a qualified patient's family member."
King Pingnan turned green when he heard this. Zong Zheng looked at him and felt ashamed!
King Pingnan took a deep breath and let Ye Junfei help him down.
As soon as they left, Zong Zheng couldn't help but said: "My lord, if you can't give the prince justice this time, I will never be able to rely on my old bones!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything more and walked away on crutches.
However, less than half an hour after he left, all branches of the Ye family's royal family came together to sit in meditation in front of the palace.
Sitting at the front is Zong Zheng.
In the past few years, the royal family of the Ye family has been suppressed by the Hu family, and their power in the gale is not as good as that of the Hu family.
But even so, they are still a royal family. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and their influence in Gale State is not small.
The point is, many of them are quite senior.
Although King Pingnan is the king of Liefeng State, he cannot completely ignore them.
Not to mention that they have very good reasons to come to the palace to cause trouble at this time.
Although King Pingnan has been in trouble with them recently, he can only appease them at this time.
Otherwise, given Zong Zheng's age, if something unexpected happened outside the palace, these tribesmen could tear him apart.
But his comfort today was of little use to everyone. Under the leadership of Zong Zheng, they sat there quietly without moving.
King Pingnan could only take a deep breath and said: "I hereby promise that the murderer will be punished on the spot after he is caught!"
Zong Zheng glanced at him and said, "I'm waiting here for the prince to send someone to catch the murderer."
"Whenever the murderer is caught, I will leave."
King Pingnan: "..."
He took a deep look at Zong Zheng and knew that these successive incidents had really angered Zong Zheng.
If he can't handle things well this time, Zongzheng won't give up.
King Pingnan's mood was very complicated.
He knew before that when Ye Junfei tied his interests with those of the Ye family, he would be able to get their help.
Now Ye Junfei has obtained the position of captain with their help, which is a hope for them.
At this time, Ye Junfei was assassinated and seriously injured. Naturally, they would not give up like before.
King Pingnan did not persuade Zongzheng again, because he knew that it would be useless.
He returned to his residence with a cold voice and went directly to Princess Pingnan.
This time he did not hit her, but said very calmly: "Find someone from the Hu family to take the blame."
Princess Pingnan also already knew about Zong Zheng leading people to sit in meditation in front of the palace.
When she first heard about this matter, she knew it was a bit troublesome.
Now King Pingnan's attitude completely confirmed her guess. She took a deep breath and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the Hu family."
King Pingnan said coldly: "I believe this, but Zongzheng doesn't believe it, and the members of the Ye clan don't believe it."
"After all, you have done too many little tricks before. Regardless of whether you did it or not, this matter will be held against you."
"At this time, only by handing over one person can this matter be settled."
"As for who to hand over, you decide. Before dawn tomorrow, you give me a name."
After he finished speaking and was about to leave, Princess Pingnan said in a deep voice: "Does the prince want to incriminate the Hu family?"
King Pingnan looked at her and said, "I am not insisting that you, the Hu family, come to confess your sins."
"But something like this happened. Apart from the Hu family, I can't think of anyone who has the courage to hurt the prince of Pingnan Palace."
After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and strode away.
Princess Pingnan's face was very ugly. She had already sent someone to ask about this matter. It was true that it was not the fault of the Hu family.
It's just that since Ye Junfei returned to Pingnan Palace, she has taken action a lot. At this time, she said she didn't do it, but she didn't believe it herself.
Yan Nan whispered from the side: "Princess, what should we do now?"
Princess Pingnan gritted her teeth and said, "What can we do? Ye Junfei, this little beast, has completely gained the support of the Ye clan."
"As soon as he was appointed as the captain by the prince, something happened. To outsiders, this matter was caused by the Hu family."
"In all these years, I am the only one who has caused trouble to others, but this is the first time someone has poured dirt on me!"
Yan Nan hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Princess, do you think this is the prince calling for a thief?"
"Yes." Princess Pingnan said coldly: "Ye Junfei has always been cunning and ruthless in his actions, and he does not follow the ordinary path."
"He can really do this kind of thing. Now that the matter has come to this, we have to admit this."
Yan Nan asked: "Who does the princess want to take over this matter?"
Princess Pingnan took three deep breaths and said, "Look for an insignificant side branch of the Hu family!"
"Go handle this matter and appease them."
Now she had to hand over one to take the blame, but she couldn't let the Hu family who supported her feel dissatisfied with her because of this incident.
Yan Nan knew that she must be feeling very uncomfortable at this time, so she asked again: "Is this the only way?"
Princess Pingnan closed her eyes and said, "Only in this way can Zongzheng take away those members of the royal family."
"But we can't just let this matter go. Sooner or later, I have to make Ye Junfei pay the price!"
Yan Nan is not as optimistic now as before.
Because she knew clearly that the current Ye Junfei was completely different from the Ye Junfei who had just returned to Pingnan Palace.
Ye Junfei now has four guards in his hands, as well as the official position of captain, and has won the hearts and minds of many people in Gale Wind City.
He has established a firm foothold in Prince Pingnan's palace, and it is now very difficult to get rid of him.
It's just that they still have an advantage at the moment and have a chance to get rid of Ye Junfei.
