"Your Highness, I need to examine the mandery Prince as well to ensure no mistakes before taking any action," Lu Sangqi said frankly, always serious about his patients.
The Elder Princess paused for a moment and quickly made a decision: "Alright, Doctor Lu, please go over and assist."
"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Sangqi was pushed to the adjacent courtyard.
The courtyard was very quiet. As he pushed open the main door, he immediately saw the dispirited mandery Prince. He raised his eyes slightly, and the sound of wheels rolled for a while before he stopped in front of the mandery Prince.
Outside the main door, several guards stood vigilantly.
Lu Sangqi faced it calmly, without any visible emotion of meeting an enemy: "mandery Prince, I am here on orders to examine you."
"Lu Sangqi? Why is it you again?" The mandery Prince lifted his head, emotions surging in his eyes as he struggled to suppress his anger, "Did my mother really send you?"
"mandery Prince, I dare not lie." Lu Sangqi gently reminded, "Actually, letting some blood is not necessarily a bad thing. After the blood is taken, with some recuperation, your body will return to its original state."
"Just taking blood?" The mandery Prince seemed to hear an enormous joke, his voice full of desolation, laughing madly twice: "Why should I..."
Lu Sangqi rolled his eyes in his mind, thinking the mandery Prince’s life was too fortable. He felt no passion for his own son, only trapped in fruitless arguments with the Elder Princess, having lived twenty or thirty years without prehension.
"mandery Prince, rest assured, the Sacred Girl of Southern Border is also here. Her medical skills should set Your Highness at ease," Lu Sangqi said casually.
However, the mandery Prince’s expression suddenly turned cold: "What did you say, the Sacred Girl is here too? I want to see her!"
"mandery Prince, you need to seek Her Highness the Elder Princess’s opinion on this matter." Seizing his inattentiveness, Lu Sangqi placed his hand on his wrist.
The mandery Prince angrily tried to shake him off: "Someone, call my mother, or you can forget about my cooperation!"
Lu Sangqi withdrew his hand.
Two guards entered, restraining the mandery Prince’s hands, rendering him unable to struggle.
The mandery Prince had not expected the Elder Princess to be so resolute, actually having the servants act, his face full of anger: "Insolence, release me!"
"mandery Prince, what Her Highness means, we dare not disobey. If you don’t cooperate, we’ll have to resort to force." The guard replied methodically.
The mandery Prince indeed darkened his face, uttering various angry curses.
This caused the servants throughout the courtyard to fall silent.
Receiving the news, the Elder Princess cooled her gaze and suddenly asked the Sacred Girl of Southern Border: "Saintess, does the mandery Prince need to be conscious?"
The Sacred Girl of Southern Border flashed a trace of astonishment in her eyes, seemingly not expecting them to go this far, "Your Highness, no, only taking the blood is necessary."
"Then let the mandery Prince sleep for a while." The Elder Princess slowly rubbed the ring on her finger, speaking coldly.
The old nanny beside withdrew, quickly returning to whisper a few words to the guard, after which a guard went over and knocked the mandery Prince unconscious with a hand chop.
"Doctor Lu, please, could you first examine the mandery Prince?" The old nanny remained affable, as if the incident of knocking the mandery Prince out hadn’t occurred.
Lu Sangqi showed no sign of shock at witnessing the secret, calmly nodded, went over to examine the mandery Prince, and confirmed that there was no remaining medicinal effect in his body that would impact the Young Prince’s illness.
Soon, the mandery Prince was carried over and placed on a nearby low couch.
