Transmigrating into a Demon Spirit to Blow up the Entire World Chapter 144.3

Chapter 144: Prince’s little quilt 19 (part 3 of 4)

Yuwen Zhengyang has long been cast aside since long ago. In contrast, the concubine’s son, Yuwen Ze, born from Mrs. Zheng during that time, was very clever. In just the age of around 4 or 5, he was already able to intelligibly stand in place, without making a single peep from start to finish.
Regardless of whether it be flogging someone as punishment, or the search in the mansion. Qi Wang was completely unable to stop any of this from happening, even more so, for someone like Qi Wangfei. The reverberating sounds of the beating rod and Yuwen Zhengyang’s miserable screams accompanied the search, which eventually became a deep and unforgettable event to everyone in the Qi Wang’s mansion that night. The multitude of officers and soldiers did not immediately follow after Yuwen Yin in leaving, as they only left upon having found the stack of the Jiang family’s tokens, which they were searching for.
Truth be told, being flogged 15 times was not a big deal to people practicing military arts, but when applied to the always pampered and spoiled Yuwen Zhengyang, it would reach to the point of fracture and even result in internal injuries. Although Qi Wang still had a pending case, but since he was still a Wangye, he could still call upon an imperial physician to examine his son. However, the imperial physician shook his head and said that he couldn’t be cured, because the relatively scarce medicine for reconstructing bones and removing blood stasis had run out.
Something bad had happened to the Jiang family, so the financial resources and manpower that Qi Wangfei could utilize were also immediately cut off. So she could only assign her personal maid to buy the medicines from the major pharmacies, but all of them had run out of stock.
Qi Wangfei blamed everything on Yuwen Yin. Her gloomy and cold eyes became so full with hate, that she actually cast aside her pride, and ran to the gate of Jin Wang’s mansion, where she started to cry out loud.
“Your Highness Jin Wang, I know you’ve hated me to the depth’s of your heart since young. I’m sorry for letting you down. Today, I’ve come to make amends to you. I don’t care what you want to do to me. But please be magnanimous, and spare the lives of my elder brother and my only son!!”
She brought along her personal maid and dowry wet-nurse to miserably cry together, the people who heard this were moved. The hidden implications in these words distorted the facts. She implied that Yuwen Zhengyang was harmed to the point of death by Yuwen Yin, in addition to implying that the imprisonment of Jiang Likai, her elder brother, was the utilization of government office to avenge private wrongs by Yuwen Yin.
“Especially my son Zhengyang, he is still your younger brother after all. It’s alright to resent me and Qi Wang. But how could you viciously harm your own younger brother like that! His body has never been that strong. But because of your instructions to have him be flogged for dozen of times, he directly reached the brink of death. He’s still incapable of speaking, eating or even moving now! The physician refuses to treat him because of being pressured by authority. He’s just fifteen years old, and has yet to start a family. But now, he can only lie in bed helplessly and wait for death……”
Qi Wangfei seriously knocked her head on the ground as she said this, sounding bloody and tearful, “Your Highness Jin Wang, I’m kowtowing to you. Imploring you to at least take consideration of a mother’s heart and let Zhengyang live!! I’m willing to knock myself to death to make amends in place of my son and elder brother! I beg you!!”
After this much disturbance, a lot of the common people immediately surrounded the gates of Jin Wang’s mansion. The populace were extremely easy to incite. So, a lot of people soon stood by Qi Wangfei’s side, and one by one, helped her in denouncing Yuwen Yin.
More and more onlookers gathered around, that the entire street had almost been completely blocked, and almost all of which, were deriding Yuwen Yin. There were even some people, who couldn’t help but spit at the tightly shut gates of the Wang mansion, while stating that Yuwen Yin was actually so vicious, and unworthy of being a crown prince of the Dayu Dynasty. The clamour outside could even be heard in the mansion’s central hall.
Regardless of age, the 3 tactics for getting one’s way* was the hardest thing to settle. This kind of move, was actually so crushing, that the people in Jin Wang’s mansion could only bear this with clenched teeth. Because in times like this, showing up would equally be bad as not making an appearance, as such, this situation becomes an impasse. Fortunately, Yuwen Yin didn’t mind this at all, and just behaved as if he was listening to a piece of free farce.
*first is crying, second is screaming, last is the threat to suicide
Yuwen Yin could sit through this, but the little quilt couldn’t stay still anymore.
He actually passed through the front hall very angrily, then flung the gates open with a bang. The sound was so loud, that the people outside were frightened back, and couldn’t help from freezing. Upon having a full view of Shen Tong, they were taken aback once again after seeing such a celestial-like beauty.
Shortly after that, two individuals, who had seen Shen Tong before, couldn’t help but shout ‘godly doctor’ out loud after recognizing him.
Everybody would inevitably suffer from a headache or high fever. So, they would rather offend high-ranking officials instead of doctors. Especially not this person standing in front of them, who’s known as a godly doctor. As soon as this loud shout was heard, the clamor all around the street gradually subsided, as their attention unconsciously shifted towards Shen Tong.
Shen Tong’s gaze fell upon Qi Wangfei after having taken a look around the crowd. He didn’t burden himself in exposing her lies, but straightforwardly said instead: “Isn’t Wangfei Niangniang going to knock herself to death to make amends for her son here? Go knock yourself out. After knocking yourself to death here, I will head to your place and treat your son with a promise that he’ll fully recover. What do you think about this?”
Upon hearing this, Qi Wangfei’s act of wiping her tears instantly froze. Not a sound left her lips despite her opened mouth.
The words Shen Tong had uttered were clearly somewhat ruthless with a mix of evil intention. But for some unknown reasons, the crowd of onlookers didn’t think he had the slightest evil intention at all. Because the youth’s expression remained incredibly flat and lackluster. His eyes even showed a Buddha-like compassion, as he spoke with a clear and guileless voice: “All things are fair. The heavenly law also pays attention to balance. One life in exchange for another, is but, the fairest course in the world. I think that the request placed forward by Qi Wangfei is very good. So, I especially rushed over, to help fulfill Qi Wangfei’s wish.”
The little quilt’s basic skill of [Warms the heart] can give people a warm feeling inside and out. The sun shining down upon him, made his beauty even more unparalleled, that people couldn’t bear to see him show a look of disappointment.
But in the face of Qi Wangfei, who never gave an answer, the youth quickly showed an obvious look of disappointment, “Are you unwilling to go through this exchange?”
After which, he slightly frowned and said in a voice tainted with bafflement and surprise: “Then why were you miserably crying here for so long? Didn’t you speak of wanting to make amends with Jin Wang? Didn’t you say you want to save your son in consideration to a mother’s love?”
This several simple consecutive queries have already caused some of the onlookers to instantly realize something, that the development of event gradually changed. Having just regained her senses at this moment, Qi Wangfei anxiously asserted: “Of course I want to save my son! I……”
“No, you didn’t have any intention to save your son at all, but just wanted to discredit Jin Wang.” Shen Tong cut her off without waiting for her to finish her words: “Actually, if you’ve just agreed, I wouldn’t have let anything happen to you. Even if something had really happened, I would’ve still completely cured you and your son. But since you didn’t truly want to save him, then I also won’t do anything.”
Shen Tong really seemed regretful, as he continued to earnestly say: “But our meeting today, should also be considered as destiny. I’ve recently developed a new panacea, called the ‘leave’ pill. This is especially useful for making all sort of nuisance to leave. Would you like to buy one?”
No one knows whether this ‘leave’ pill was effective. But Qu Hong, who has successfully gotten inside the mansion, wants to take a pill of courage at this moment. He would always have an inexplicable nervous feeling every time he faces Yuwen Yin. He then bowed and respectfully reported: “His Royal Highness’ assumption is really accurate. Jiang Likai and the Southern Xinjiang were really in cahoots. We found a secret letter between the second prince of Southern Xinjiang and Jiang Likai, but it was found in the mansion of Imperial Tutor Wang Hong……”
