Chapter 115: Is Qin Lang now practically a cripple?
Chapter 115: Is Qin Lang now practically a cripple?
As Qin Wan left Nanfeng Courtyard and stepped out of its gates, she could still hear the scolding behind her.
However, she no longer cared and simply regarded the sound as incompetent barking.
Qin Wan did not return directly to Wanyue Courtyard, but went to Jingxin Courtyard. The commotion at Nanfeng Courtyard was quite significant, and her grandmother must have found out.
Because of the rain, Grandmother didn't come, but Qin Lang is also Grandmother's grandson, so she must be worried.
Step into the Tranquility Courtyard.
The courtyard was much quieter than usual, and Qin Wan called out from the doorway.
"grandmother!"
The next second, the door to the room was opened from the inside.
It was Granny Sun who opened the door.
Qin Wan walked to the corridor, handed the oil-paper umbrella to Wan Shuang, and then went inside alone.
Old Madam Qin was sitting on the soft couch, and even though Qin Wan was far away, she could feel the deep sorrow emanating from her.
"Grandma~"
This sound was even gentler than before.
Qin Wan moved closer and sat down next to Old Madam Qin.
"Wan'er, you've come!" Old Madam Qin's previous joy was gone; she couldn't even force a smile.
Fearing that the old lady Qin might harm her health because of this, Qin Wan comforted her, saying, "Grandmother, I just went to Nanfeng Courtyard. Although I didn't go inside, I saw that many imperial physicians had come. These physicians are highly skilled, so Second Brother will definitely be fine!"
Madam Qin sighed deeply; it was precisely because so many imperial physicians had come that she was worried.
If it were a minor injury, a single imperial physician would suffice. But this commotion is so great, I'm afraid...
"Wan'er, do you think Lang'er can... this time?"
Madam Qin's eyes reddened, and she was almost in tears.
Qin Wan couldn't bear it and quickly interrupted, "Second brother will definitely be alright, Grandmother, don't worry!"
She didn't care about Qin Lang's final outcome; what she cared about was her grandmother's health. Her grandmother had finally recovered somewhat, and now she might collapse because of this.
"Wan'er is right, Lang'er will definitely be alright, she will definitely be alright..." Old Madam Qin kept repeating the last sentence, showing how worried she was.
"Wan'er, tomorrow is the day Leishan Temple is open to the public. You will accompany your grandmother to Leishan Temple. Your grandmother will ask the Bodhisattva to bless your second brother with safety!"
Qin Wan did not refuse; she was willing to do anything her grandmother asked.
"Alright, Grandmother, don't be sad. Wan'er will go with you tomorrow!"
It was a light drizzle, but the rain got heavier as evening approached.
After several hours of treatment, the imperial physicians finally stopped.
Qin Huai forced himself to remain calm and bowed to the imperial physicians to express his gratitude.
"Thank you all for saving my life. I will never forget your kindness!"
Qin Huai lowered his status because he was genuinely grateful to the imperial physicians for saving Qin Lang's life.
A few days ago, he received a letter from Yunzhou saying that Qin Lang had fallen into a trap while chasing bandits and his whereabouts were unknown.
He then resigned from the court and, together with Qin Yi and all his guards, rode swiftly to Yunzhou. After a fierce battle, he finally rescued Qin Lang.
But when he saw Qin Lang, he was covered in blood, his thigh was pierced by a spear, and his body was covered in countless wounds.
His purple lips indicated that he was not only injured but also poisoned.
Qin Huai, holding Qin Lang, disregarded his grief and ordered the accompanying military camp to treat him. However, Qin Lang's injuries were too severe, and the military doctors could only stabilize his condition. To save his life, they would need to call in someone with even higher medical skills.
Qin Lang couldn't afford to delay; time was his life.
The heavy responsibility of suppressing bandits in Yunzhou fell on Qin Ye's shoulders alone, and he quickly returned with Qin Lang.
His tense heart, which had been pounding for days, finally relaxed a little at this moment.
Physician Zhao led the way, bowing and returning the greeting to Qin Huai, his clothes still stained with blood from the treatment.
"My lord, there's no need for such formalities. This is our duty. However, although Young Master Qin's life has been saved, the injury to his thigh has damaged his tendons and veins, and I'm afraid he will have difficulty standing in the future!"
The tendons and veins are damaged!
Cannot stand!
Wouldn't that make one practically useless?
Upon hearing this, Han Shu and Su Yan'er both fainted.
The Nanfeng Academy, which had just relaxed, descended into chaos once again.
......
The residence of the Marquis of Zhongyi.
Zhang Yue suffered a loss at Xiao Lingyun's hands today, but he has not given up on avenging Shen Siyi.
He knew that Shen Siyi's injury was definitely related to Qin Wan.
He just doesn't have evidence yet. Once he finds it, he'll take Qin Wan's life.
Thinking about it, Zhang Yue went to his father Zhang Jiu's study.
"Father, you were looking for me!"
Just as Zhang Yue finished speaking, a teacup landed with a 'thud' at his feet, startling him.
"What did you do today?" Zhang Jiu asked.
Seeing his angry expression, Zhang Yue felt a tremor in his heart and went through the events of the day in his mind.
"I...I didn't do anything!" Zhang Yue didn't say it directly.
"Didn't do anything?" Zhang Jiu raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the desk, causing a document on the desk to tremble violently.
"You didn't do anything wrong, so why was your application for the position of heir apparent rejected? The reason is that you are unstable in your actions, lack virtue, and need more experience!"
Zhang Yue froze, then rushed forward and picked up the document on the desk. Underneath it were two large red characters: 'Rejected'!
Zhang Yue couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed them and looked at them again. The document was indeed real.
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Zhang Yue looked panicked and shook his head repeatedly.
"The heir of the Marquis of Qingyang is only five years old, yet the document for him has already been approved. A five-year-old child is even more unsteady in his actions. This must be someone deliberately making things difficult for him!"
Zhang Yue recalled Xiao Jingyan's words from earlier that day: 'If you cause trouble now, you may lose your chance at the position of heir apparent...'
Could it be him?
But Zhang Yue quickly dismissed his idea. Xiao Jingyan was nothing but a useless prince who wasn't even mentally sound. How could he possibly get involved in this matter?
If it wasn't him, then who could it be?
Seeing that Zhang Yue remained silent for a long time, Zhang Jiu asked again, "What did you do today?"
"My son didn't do anything special, he just went to Guangdelou..."
Zhang Yue recounted how he had surrounded Qin Wan and met Xiao Lingyun that day.
Having served as an official for many years, Zhang Jiu knew that this matter was intentional, so he wanted to find out the reason and find out who was behind it.
"Father, could it be the Marquis of Pingding's residence?"
"Qin Huai went to Yunzhou these past few days and only returned today. He was too busy saving Qin Lang to handle everything. Besides, you are acquainted with the third young master of the Qin family, so this matter should not be related to the Pingding Marquis's mansion!"
"Could it be the Sixth Princess?"
Zhang Jiu did not deny it. Consort Yan may seem indifferent on the surface, but who knows what lies behind her actions?
"Behave yourself these next few days. Don't interfere in the affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion anymore. I will send another document in a few days. Before the position of heir apparent is confirmed, do not cause any more trouble!"
Zhang Yue was filled with resentment. "Damn Qin Wan, damn Xiao Lingyun, wait till I become the heir, I'll make you pay!"
The next morning.
It rained all night, and I thought it would clear up in the morning, but the sky is still overcast, and it seems that the sunny weather today is not guaranteed.
Qin Wan got up early; she was going to accompany the old lady to Leishan Temple to pray for Qin Lang's well-being.
Therefore, we cannot delay.
After getting into the carriage, Qin Wan smiled as she watched Wan Shuang hurrying up behind her.
"Miss, we're ready!"
"Hurry up and get in the carriage! Grandmother and I will go together, you can sit in the back!"
"Yes!"
Today, Qin Wan went to Leishan Temple to thank Master Qiao in person, so she asked Wan Shuang to buy some storybooks early in the morning.
The conditions didn't allow it a few days ago, but today she wants to personally thank Master Qiao.
I also wanted to buy some bamboo shavings from him to make medicine for my grandmother.
