I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Chapter 259 You Can't Escape Disaster!

259 You Can’t Escape Disaster!
At this moment, Princess Ning Fu was in a dilemma.
She stared at Zhou Hengchang awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.
That’s right. She did want to borrow the Zhou family’s power to help her escape, but that didn’t mean that she was willing to marry Zhou Hengchang!
After struggling for a long time, Princess Ning Fu bit her lower lip and stammered, “It’s not that I don’t agree, but regarding the marriage, don’t we need our parents’ permission?!
I have to go back and tell my grandmother. I can only answer you after discussing it with her.”
When she said this, she paused for a moment. She looked up carefully and saw that Zhou Hengchang’s expression was normal. Then, she mustered her courage and continued to suggest, “However, you also know that my grandmother is seriously ill now. Can you help me and my grandmother so that we can leave Cloud Mountain City first? We can talk to my grandmother about this after she recovers!”
“Since she’s not feeling well, she should stay in bed to recuperate and really shouldn’t think too much about it. It’s cold outside, so how can she withstand the bumpy journey?!
I think it’s better for you guys to stay in Cloud Mountain City in peace. This will be beneficial to the old consort’s recovery!
As for what I just mentioned, you can find an opportunity to discuss it with the old consort first. When you guys make the decision, it won’t be too late for you guys to inform me at that time.”
After saying that, Zhou Hengchang had no intention of staying any longer. He slowly stood up and was about to leave.
When Princess Ning Fu saw that he was about to leave, she became anxious. She chased after him and raised her voice as she said to him, “You’re just unwilling to help me, right?!”
“Princess, no one in this world is a fool! I didn’t expose your motive now in order to save you some dignity!
No matter what, I, Zhou Hengchang, won’t sacrifice the Zhou family’s hundred-year-old foundation just to please you!
From the beginning to the end, you only said how aggrieved you were, but why didn’t you think about how much trouble you had gotten into this time?!
It’s one thing to use soldiers to harm commoners, but after the incident, they even tried to kill the officials of the Imperial Court! What kind of crime is this? This is treason!
In my opinion, the reason Duke Huai Yang’s ministry hasn’t been completely wiped out yet is that Mr. Pei, who has just arrived in the north, is too soft-hearted!
However, you didn’t mention such an important matter at all and only said that you had been bullied!
Because I wanted to avenge you, I’ve already offended that madam! Therefore, I had no choice but to come today! This is also the last chance for you to cooperate with me!
If you’re willing to marry me, I’ll think of a way to help Duke Huai Yang’s ministry. But if you’re unwilling, there’s no need to try to mislead me!
I, Zhou Hengchang, am not a donkey raised by Princess Ning Fu!”
With a flick of his sleeve, Zhou Hengchang strode out of the reception pavilion with his followers and walked towards the entrance of Duke Huaiyang’s Mansion quickly.
However, when he saw Wei Qing sitting at the door, he frowned slightly. He originally didn’t want to pay attention to him, but Wei Qing was clearly here for him!
“What are you doing?” Zhou Hengchang looked at Wei Qing, who had driven his horse over to stop him. He raised his eyebrows unhappily as he said, “There’s no enmity between us!”
“I know! I’m here because I was asked by someone to invite Mr. Zhou over for a chat!” Wei Qing played with the whip in his hand with one hand as he told Zhou Heng with a smile, “Mr. Zhou, we meet often, so I don’t want to make things ugly. Please follow me!”
“Where are we going?!” As soon as Wei Qing spoke, Zhou Hengchang guessed the reason he was here.
It was most likely because he had rashly gone forward to stop that madam’s carriage last night! At this moment, he had stirred up a hornet’s nest. It would be strange if her husband didn’t come looking for him!
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, what was coming would eventually come!
Sooner or later, he would have to face this. He couldn’t escape!
“The Imperial City Government Office!” Wei Qing smiled and winked at Zhou Hengchang. Before he could speak, he added, “The Xingsheng Teahouse beside it.”
After Zhou Hengchang gave Wei Qing a side-eye, he rode towards the place Wei Qing had reported.
Lin Suisui and Doctor Luo were busy discussing the adjustment of the prescription. Naturally, they didn’t know that Lu Ze had already gone to the Xingsheng Teahouse to cause trouble for Zhou Hengchang.
These soldiers had been drugged for varying lengths of time, so they were naturally addicted to different degrees!
Therefore, after the first day of observation, the corresponding prescription had to be adjusted appropriately. However, Doctor Luo didn’t expect Lin Suisui to place hemp leaves in the medicine.
“You saw their situation yesterday! If we forcefully cut off their contact with this leaf again, they probably won’t be able to last long before losing their sanity!
You should know that once people become addicted to this thing, during the withdrawal process, people’s desire for it will gradually increase and they will eventually go crazy!
If this continued, they might even break off their own arms in order to escape!
Therefore, I went back last night and flipped through the handwritten letter my mentor had left behind. There was a record stating that we could use the hemp leaves to slowly reduce the patient’s reliance on the hemp leaves during withdrawal.
This kind of withdrawal is not something that can be completed in a day or two! We have to be prepared to treat them over the long term.”
Lin Suisui briefly explained the reason for her actions, making Doctor Luo feel much more relieved. “You’re right. They basically caused a ruckus for most of the night last night. They couldn’t even drink the calming soup!
This is only the first day. If they really endure it for a few more days, I’m afraid they’ll really go crazy and kill people!”
After confirming the treatment method, Lin Suisui didn’t hesitate anymore. She quickly arranged different soup prescriptions for the soldiers according to their addiction levels.
After handing all of this to Doctor Luo, she didn’t forget to instruct, “Drink this medicine for three days and adjust it according to the situation! You have to be careful. Everyone’s prescription is different. Don’t mix it up when preparing it for them!”
“Don’t worry. In order to prevent such mistakes, we’ve arranged for female servants to brew medicine for every soldier. We definitely won’t make a mistake!” Doctor Luo promised Lin Suisui with a smile to reassure her.
