I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night-Chapter 58 - Are You Worried About the Fourth Prince?!

“Yes?”

Pei Qian came back to his senses and looked at Lin Suisui. “What?!”

“He’s already awake. What do you have to ask?” Lin Suisui took a step back and moved to Lu Ze’s side.

Although the sergeant lying on the bed had already opened his eyes, it was obvious that he wasn’t completely awake yet. By the time Pei Qian stood beside him, the fully awake sergeant subconsciously sat up from the bed. “I have to deliver a letter!”

“What letter do you want to send?! I’m the Minister of Justice, Pei Qian. I’ve received the imperial decree to escort refugees to the northern region. You’re seriously injured now. If you have any important military information, you can report it to me. I’ll immediately arrange for it to be sent back to the capital.”

As Pei Qian spoke, he had already taken out his waist token and placed it in front of the soldier.

As expected, his method of directly revealing his identity was very effective. The soldier panted for a moment before reaching into his pocket. After a while, he took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Pei Qian with trembling hands. “This is what my master asked me to send back to the capital before he died.

Here, there is evidence that the general of the northern part of the town colluded with foreign enemies, embezzled military pay, and trafficked military goods!!

“My master was killed, and we don’t know if General Zuo is dead or alive! The eight of us ran out together to report this evidence back to the capital, but for some reason, the news leaked. We were chased all the way, and in the end, I was the only one who escaped!” 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

“Sir, please pass this evidence to the Ministry of War…”

It was unknown if it was because he was exhausted or if he had lost his energy after entrusting everything to him, but the soldier closed his eyes before he could finish speaking…

Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Lin Suisui quickly went forward and applied silver needles to his acupoints. At the same time, she didn’t forget to stuff a piece of ginseng that Qian He had just sent over into his mouth.

“I’ve already tried my best to protect his heart with silver needles. If he can survive tonight safely, although it will take a long time for his body to recover in the future, there’s a high chance that I can save his life.”

Lin Suisui didn’t ask further. She only turned around and explained the situation to Pei Qian after giving the soldier a needle.

Pei Qian nodded. For once, he had no intention of keeping Lin Suisui. He didn’t even instruct them not to say anything after they left. He raised his hand and gestured for them to leave.

“You guys can go back. A few medical officers will take care of the rest here! It’s a little inconvenient for you to stay here and take care of a man.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Pei. We’ll go back now.”

Lu Ze cupped his hands and bowed before turning around to protect Lin Suisui as they walked out of the tent.

“Pei Qian looked displeased. Do you know those people too?!”

After the two of them walked for a while and saw that there was no one else around, Lin Suisui gently tugged at the corner of Lu Ze’s shirt and whispered into his ear curiously.

“Gao Xuwei is the general who stabilizes the north and Pei Qian’s uncle.” Lu Ze naturally knew about the collusion between officials. Seeing Lin Suisui ask, he didn’t hide it and calmly told her about their relationship. “The Gao family was originally a poor family in the capital. Early on, Gao Xuwei relied on working in the casino and working for loan sharks to earn a living.

Later on, for some reason, he actually got to know Pei Qian’s widowed aunt.

With the Pei family as a guarantor, they sent Gao Xuwei to the army for a while. Later on, with the help of the Pei family, he naturally rose through the ranks step by step, so that he became the famous general who stabilizes the north.”

“If what that sergeant said just now is true, if the evidence in his hands is sent to Pei Qian, wouldn’t…”

Wouldn’t that be a one-way trip?!

Lin Suisui tightened her grip on Lu Ze’s clothes. She thought of what the soldier had said just now. If the person guarding the border was really such a bastard, then…

“There will be a solution to this matter. Don’t worry.” As Lu Ze looked down at Lin Suisui’s hand that was gripping the corner of her shirt tightly, his tone subconsciously softened. He reached out to hold Lin Suisui’s hand and pulled her back slowly. “Pei Qian is probably more trustworthy than you think.” 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

“But isn’t this matter also related to the Pei family?! If this matter is exposed, won’t the Pei family and the fourth prince suffer?!”

Lin Suisui wasn’t relieved by Lu Ze’s answer. Instead, she became even more nervous.

She didn’t know why Lu Ze trusted Pei Qian so much, but she also knew that these messy court affairs were as difficult to deal with as trying to determine the right amount of medicine.

They seemed unrelated, but in fact, they were all connected. If the dosage of one medicine was wrong, the entire prescription would be useless.

The reason Pei Qian could have such power and authority now was that he was a member of the Pei family and the fourth prince’s cousin! If he didn’t have this status, what right did he have to torture and insult Du Yuanruo?!

Moreover, what the general who stabilizes the north was involved in this time wasn’t an ordinary crime!

Everything else was fine, but colluding with external enemies was enough to destroy the clan for eternity!

If someone had evidence of this, the consequences would be…

Even if Pei Qian put righteousness before family, he wouldn’t disregard his own life, right?!

“Are you worried about the fourth prince?!” Lu Ze stopped in his tracks, then turned around and stared at Lin Suisui. His tone was unpleasant.

“Huh?!” Lin Suisui was still thinking about this matter. When she heard Lu Ze’s question, she looked up at him in confusion. “What did you say?!”

“If this matter really blows up, the Pei family naturally will not be able to escape. However, wouldn’t the fourth prince suffer the greatest loss?!”

“Are you in such a hurry because you’re worried that the general who stabilizes the north will ruin his career?!”

Lu Ze took a step back and stared at Lin Suisui with a gloomy look that he usually didn’t have. There was even a hint of anger and… grievance?!

Lin Suisui blinked. Her first reaction was that something was wrong with her senses.

However, soon, after she understood what Lu Ze meant, she couldn’t care less about these details. She stared at him in shock and anger. “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

Why would I be worried about him?!

Should I be worried that his new wife in the capital wasn’t considerate enough, or that he would have no choice but to take in a few more concubines for the sake of his future?!

I’m not crazy, stupid, or cheap! Why would I be worried about him?!”
