Chapter 564: Your Highness, so wise!
His Highness gave Wei Shen a look, and Wei Shen knew His Highness wanted to get off the stage, not wanting to perform.
"Don't just stand there, sir! Hurry up and take these people back to the Jing'an Office, and find a doctor for our young master!"
Shen Yu scrambled to his feet, "Yes, yes, yes! Someone, take all these people back to the Jing'an Office, that young master..."
Wei Shen interrupted: "Also take them back to the Jingzhao Prefecture, and have the doctor wait there!"
The Jingzhao Prefecture staff, in a frenzy, first carried His Highness away, then brought Wei Hang and his gang, along with the shopkeeper and his assistants, all of them, back to the Jing'an Office.
The Wei family heard from a servant that the master's legitimate second son had offended the Prince of the Northern Border, and the master wasn't surprised. The second son is domineering and a cleanliness freak—he offends people far too easily.
Wei Kai calmly put down his book and asked, "What is it this time? Really the Prince of the Northern Border?" He thought of the Prince of the Northern Border as just a child—although his status is noble now, he hasn't even taken the throne yet; at this critical juncture, it wouldn't be worth going to war over the second son offending him. He thought the Prince of the Northern Border should, like Bai Li Jun, win over the Chang'an aristocracy and gain their support. Even if the Prince of the Northern Border is young and unwilling to back down, he surely has smart people around him?
"……Reporting to the master, the people in the shop say it was the second young master…… who knocked over the Prince of the Northern Border and even tried to steal his dog."
"What?! This unfilial son!"
The head of the Wei family felt it was not good, fearing he would have to go apologize.
"How did you hear about it? Weren't you an eyewitness?"
"The servant was left outside the shop; the people the second young master brought in have already been arrested by the Jingzhao Prefect… the second young master too. Even, even the Prince of the Northern Border was carried away by the Jingzhao Prefect…"
This person was just a runner, couldn't get to the point, and the Wei family head smashed the teacup on the table at him.
"Useless! You can't even speak clearly!"
Wei Kai thought this couldn't be easily resolved, so he hastily summoned several family elders and brothers to discuss; who knew they hadn't even worked out a plan when the doorman said the Wei manor was surrounded by the Prince of the Northern Border's Black Armor Cavalry!
It wasn't just the Wei manor that the Black Armor Cavalry surrounded—Liang He personally led troops to encircle the Jingzhao Prefecture as well.
Shen Yu knew that His Highness was displeased with this; not to mention his position as Jingzhao Prefect, the entire Jingzhao Prefecture was done for.
Such a big commotion quickly reached the court, but it's awkward because His Highness hasn't even taken the throne yet, so the usual remonstrations don't work. You wouldn't lecture a feudal prince who seized Chang'an by force about the dignity and magnanimity of a monarch, would you? Who knows how long they can keep this up!
At this moment, His Highness was still lying in the Jingzhao Prefecture, and Shen Yu had found an elderly physician who was taking his pulse.
The old man knew nothing of those official matters, but he thought His Highness's physique was superb, better than anyone he had ever seen.
"The pulse is completely normal. Your Highness, could you describe which part of your body hit the ground first? Or where do you feel pain?"
His Highness lowered his raised leg and said, "Your question… everything hurts."
The elderly physician: ……This makes no sense!
No external injuries, and the pulse is perfectly unprecedented.
"Does Your Highness have a headache?"
"It hurts."
"Does your chest hurt?"
"It hurts."
"How about your arms?"
"They hurt too."
"How about your legs? …Got it, they hurt too."
His Highness gave him an innocent look and nodded.
The elderly physician began writing the medical case:
Appearance: pallid complexion, no color on the lips, cold sweat on the forehead, rapid breathing, weak voice,
Inquiry: pain all over the body.
Pulse: all six pulses are slow and sluggish.
Treatment: dare not decide alone, will consult with the Imperial Physician Director.
Having written it, His Highness nimbly sat up to look, discovering that this old man was quite spry!
"Not bad, give it to the Jingzhao Prefect."
The elderly physician wiped his sweat and relaxed, it seems he guessed right. "I take my leave."
After finishing this, His Highness patted his butt and wanted to go, of course not using his own legs, but having people carry him back exactly as he was to the Jianzhang Palace.
As he was leaving, he still lay there and bade farewell to Shen Yu: "Sir Shen, I'll return first. I know I'm here just to pressure you and affect your case—I understand the reasoning. I'll go back to the palace and wait for your good news~"
Shen Yu: ……
If you won't relieve the pressure, at least withdraw the heavy-armored soldiers outside!
Shen Yu still had to kneel and see him off: "Your Highness, so wise! Farewell, Your Highness!"
