It had to be said that this Imperial Brother-in-law wasn't a particularly capable person in Jing. However, because his sister was the Empress of the Middle Palace and his nephew was the Crown Prince, he was a bit arrogant and didn't think much of ordinary people. However, even though he was frivolous and arrogant, when he heard that he had startled Princess Xian's carriage and caused Princess Xian to be injured, he knew that he had caused trouble.
What would he do if he caused trouble? Naturally, he would have his mother send a token to the Imperial Palace to see the Empress and have her think of a way to resolve this matter. Otherwise, if the matter spread, it wouldn't be easy to deal with.
When the Empress heard that her paternal family had sent a token to see her, she felt it was strange. They had just met two days ago. Why did they send a token to see her now? She was curious, but still had the palace servants invite her paternal family in.
The Empress' paternal family was surnamed Fang. Originally, it wasn't a prominent family in Jing. However, after she entered the Eastern Palace, the Fang Family gradually rose to prominence in Jing. However, compared to the established families, they still lacked a lot of background.
After meeting with her paternal family, the Empress noticed that her mother and sister-in-law's expressions were slightly uncomfortable. It seemed that there was something that was hard to say. She knew that her younger brother had caused trouble again. She sipped her tea and asked: "Did something happen at home?"
Fang Furen looked at her graceful and noble daughter. With difficulty, she recounted everything that had happened on the street. She also emphasized that Princess Xian had injured his forehead.
The Empress thought about Xian Junw.a.n.g Fei's beautiful face and how much Xian Junw.a.n.g Fei cared about this Junw.a.n.g Fei. She felt slightly distressed. "Why is Didi riding a horse in Jing? The Old Ancestor has already given the order that horses are not allowed in the city. Why do you allow him to do such a thing?" She looked reproachfully at her sister-in-law Lin shi. Her words were somewhat blaming Lin shi for not keeping her younger brother locked up properly.
Lin shi felt uncomfortable being stared at by the Empress. However, the other's status was noble and she couldn't do anything disrespectful. Her husband didn't even listen to her mother-in-law, so how could he listen to her advice? Even if the Empress blamed her, she couldn't do anything about it.
"Now that things have become like this, Empress, you should help your younger brother think of a way." Fang Furen wiped her tears and said, "I only have you two children. Right now, the fu is completely supported by your younger brother. If something happens to him, what will the Fang family do? Your two nephews are still young."
The Empress sighed helplessly. This matter was no longer about Princess Xian injuring her forehead, but about her younger brother injuring a relative of the Imperial Family by riding a horse in the city. It wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small joke either. Prince Xian's fu had some influence these years, and the Nghi An Marquis was a great noble family with many generations of inheritance. If this matter was pursued, the Fang Family wouldn't have an easy time.
"Right now, the most important thing is to see how Princess Xian's injury is. If it's not serious, then it's fine. If it's serious …" The Empress waved her hand and said tiredly, "Go and prepare an apology gift and go to Prince Xian's fu. As to what happens after, it will depend on the attitude of the Emperor and Prince Xian."
Fang Taitai saw her daughter's tone soften and knew that she would help. She smiled and said, "You are the Empress. Xian Junw.a.n.g will not make the matter too ugly because of you."
That's because you didn't see how much Prince Xian cherished his Jun Wang Fei. The Empress said this, but looking at her mother's smiling face, she was so tired that she didn't want to say anything more. In the end, she waved her hand and said, "Then go back and prepare. I'm tired." When she was young, her father doted on his concubines. In order to protect her and her younger brother, her mother had spent a lot of effort. Although she still remembered the friendship of the past, this friendship had been worn down time and time again by the disappointing family of her mother.
"Niangniang," A palace maid saw that she was strangely tired and presented a cup of ginseng tea. Someone also gently massaged her temples.
"Have someone prepare something to replenish energy and blood. Have Zhao Dong personally take the things to Prince Xian's fu." Zhao Dong was the chief taijian in her palace. Having him personally deliver the gifts was a sign of her attitude.
Hearing this, the palace maid on the side went to prepare according to the Empress' orders. But thinking of Princess Xian's flower-like face, it would be a pity if her face was disfigured.
At this time, Xian Junw.a.n.g Fu was busy. The mistress of the household had been wounded on the forehead. This was a major matter. So there were those who boiled water, those who boiled medicine, and those who went to inform Junw.a.n.g Ye. Fortunately, Jun Wang's fu had good rules. Even though the servants were busy, they didn't panic.
When Yan Jinqiu came back from outside, the two taijian had already arrived at the fu. When he walked into the inner courtyard, he saw the taijian taking Hua Xi Wan's pulse. Even though the blood on her forehead had been wiped clean, there was still such a large swollen patch that it looked terrifying.
Yan Jinqiu's brow furrowed slightly. Walking to Hua Xi Wan's side, he put his hand on her shoulder and asked, "Does the wound still hurt?"
Hua Xi Wan smiled, "It's fine.
She smiled, "It's alright. The imperial physician has already applied medicine on me. It just looks scary."
Hearing this, Yan Jinqiu didn't say anything. He just stared at the frightening lump, his face darkening. In the end, he coldly looked at the servants serving Hua Xi Wan and said sternly, "What are you doing? How could you injure your mistress so seriously?"
The servants in the room instantly knelt on the ground. They were so frightened by Jun Wang Ye's words that they didn't dare to breathe.
"You can't blame them. The horse was suddenly startled, causing the carriage to be unstable," Hua Xi Wan reached out to pull Yan Jinqiu's sleeve, "Don't be angry. If you are angry, my head will hurt."
Yan Jin Qiu was both helpless and amused by her words. Seeing the bump on her white forehead, his heart instantly softened. "All right, since Junw.a.n.g Fei cares for you, you can stand up."
"Thank you, Junw.a.n.g Ye, thank you, Junw.a.n.g Fei." The servants all sighed in relief. After they stood up from the ground, their actions became even more careful. They wanted the Grand Doctor to take out a divine pill and medicine so Junw.a.n.g Fei would immediately recover.
After the taijian finished taking the pulse, he stood up and bowed to Yan Jinqiu, "Jun Wang Ye, Jun Wang Fei's injury is not light. For the next few days, she should eat less spicy food and pay attention to whether she is drowsy or vomiting. This official has prescribed a calming and blood-replenishing prescription. Please ask the servants in the fu to prepare the medicine according to the prescription. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl. If there are no symptoms after drinking it, then drink two more bowls."
"Thank you," Yan Jinqiu handed the prescription to Mutong behind him, then asked, "If she is drowsy or vomiting, what are the serious consequences?"
"The head of a person is the most complicated. This official doesn't dare to speak rashly, but seeing Jun Wang Fei's expression, there shouldn't be the most serious consequences. However, it is best that she rest in bed for a few days and avoid shaking as much as possible." The taijian saw that Prince Xian was very concerned about Jun Wang Fei's injury and said a lot of things to pay attention to before leaving Jun Wang Fu with the apprentices of the Imperial Hospital.
After the taijian left, Yan Jinqiu had someone fetch water for Hua Xi Wan to wash her hands and soak her feet. Then, without any explanation, he put her on the bed. Looking at her slightly pale face, he said, "I heard from the servants what happened. Rest at ease and recover. I will deal with everything outside."
Did this mean that he was going to settle the score with the Empress' younger brother?
Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be just talking, Hua Xi Wan lay on the bed and said, "I only have some superficial wounds. The taijian said that this injury won't leave a scar. It's just that the merchants on the side of the road had a lot of goods destroyed. I don't know if the Guard Office has compensated them for their losses."
"They will definitely take care of this matter." Yan Jinqiu didn't tell Hua Xi Wan. He even knew that she had a servant girl give a pouch to the Vice Minister of the Guard Office and had the Vice Minister give the pouch to an injured child. Reaching out to adjust the blanket for her, he said softly, "Rest for a while. I will have the kitchen prepare food for you to nourish your blood and focus your mind."
Hua Xi Wan smiled and really closed her eyes to sleep. After all, she had talked for half a day with the womenfolk at the assistant minister fu and was really tired.
After Hua Xi Wan fell asleep, Yan Jinqiu ordered Bai Xia and the others to take good care of her before rising and walking out of the room. Just as he walked out, he heard Mutong report that Fang Guojiu had brought gifts to Jun Wang's fu to apologize.
Yan Jinqiu laughed coldly. He didn't say anything, but a wave of viciousness rose in his heart. A moment later, he said, "Lead the way."
Mutong's heart trembled. He led Yan Jinqiu to the main hall and stood in the corner.
Seeing Yan Jinqiu appear, Fang Chengde stood up from his chair and smiled as he bowed to Yan Jinqiu. "Prince Xian, today this one accidentally disturbed Jun Wang Fei's carriage. This one has specially come to apologize to you and Jun Wang Fei."
"Imperial Brother-in-law is too polite." Yan Jinqiu picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip. He blew the steam off the surface of the water and raised his eyes to glance at Fang Chengde. "It's my wife's bad luck that she chose the street that Imperial Brother-in-law was riding on."
Hearing that there was something wrong with these words, the smile on Fang Chengde's face froze. Even though he was a bit angry, seeing that Yan Jinqiu didn't have the slightest hint of a smile on his face, for some reason, he was afraid and didn't dare to show it on his face. "This was truly an accident. How are Jun Wang Fei's injuries?"
"Even though she lost more than half a bowl of blood, she managed to keep her life." Yan Jinqiu put the teacup on the table and looked coldly at Fang Chengde. "This one is worried about my wife and will leave first. Imperial Brother-in-law, please do as you please."
Seeing that Yan Jinqiu didn't give him any face, Fang Chengde's expression changed. In the end, he didn't lose his temper in Jun Wang's fu. After he was "escorted" out of the wang fu by the servants of Jun Wang's fu, he was so angry that he kicked the stone lion at the door. Seeing the guards at the door of Jun Wang's fu looking at him, he instantly shouted angrily, "What are you looking at, dog!"
After cursing, Fang Chengde felt that his mood was much better. He turned and got on the carriage. He decided that he would never come to this stupid place again.
The guards at the door of Prince Xian's fu coldly looked at Fang Chengde's actions. They all stood at attention and weren't affected at all by his previous actions.
Mutong stood at the door and spat. He said to the gatekeeper, "Watch the door. Don't let any cat or dog accidentally come in. If they startle Jun Wang Ye and Jun Wang Fei, be careful of being beaten."
He was just the Empress's didi. He really thought of himself as someone important. It was really funny.
