Su Jin's willow eyebrows shot up, and she said angrily, "You two roughnecks know nothing! What do you understand"

"Yes, yes, yes, I don't understand what you're thinking."

Su Pingbei curled her lips and said, "But I know what it means to be ignorant of one's blessings. You spend all day dreaming about ideals, freedom, the most beautiful love, a husband who shares weal and woe with you. Wake up! It's just that you've eaten too much."

Su Jinpa was just about to speak when Li Chen, from afar, shouted, "Jinpa, boil a pot of hot water for me, I'm thirsty."

Su Jin glared at him with anger in her eyes, "Do you treat me as your maid"

Li Chen grumbled, "What's wrong Do I have to personally boil the water"

Su Jinpa saw Li Chen frown, her heart inexplicably felt empty. She had something to say but dared not speak out, so she could only stomp her feet and look at her older brother with grievance.

Hurry up!

When faced with others directing his younger sister to do chores, Su Pingbei not only felt no dissatisfaction but also showed a hint of schadenfreude.

If this were someone else, they would have probably drawn their sword and attacked right away.

But since it was the prince, Su Pingbei was happy to see it come to pass.

The sullen Su Jinpa knew that she couldn't rely on her brother anymore, so she puffed up her rosy cheeks and turned...to find a water pot.

"I want that too!" Su Pingbei exclaimed.

But the next second, a snowball came flying over, followed by Su Jinpa's voice, "Think beautiful, go burn it yourself!"

And at this moment, Wang Tenghuan and the Ninth Prince have been escorted into the capital city by a squad of Imperial Guards.

As soon as this matter came to light, Zhao Xuanji was the first to know.

He immediately arranged for someone to stop Wang Teng's bleeding and gave the Ninth Prince medicine.

"The Ninth Prince fainted from fright, this scare wasn't light. After waking up, he's likely to have nightmares and night terrors, but it's not a big problem. As long as he takes good care of himself, he'll be fine. It's just that the Ninth Prince's body is too weak. After this, he'll probably be easily injured."

The imperial physician's words left Zhao Xuanji with a face as dark as water.

"Take good care of him and make sure the Ninth Prince stays healthy." Zhao Xuanji said.

The physician bowed and said, "I will do my best."

"How is Wang Da-ren doing" Zhao Xuanji asked.

The imperial physician smiled bitterly: "There's no danger to life, but his ear has been bitten off. Even if it heals, he will be disabled for life. I ask the Chief Minister to forgive this."

Zhao Xuanji slapped the table with his hand.

A sudden, enormous roar startled the imperial physician. He hurriedly lowered his head and dropped his hands, wishing he could vanish on the spot for fear of incurring Zhao Xuanji's wrath.

Zhao Xuanji also noticed his own agitation.

He took a deep breath. Years of navigating the treacherous waters of the imperial court had honed his ability to regain composure in the face of adversity, at least on the surface.

"A person not dead is a good thing."

Zhao Xuanji spoke with difficulty, then got up and said, "This old man will go see Lord Wang. Please, Taiyi, return to the palace first and inform Empress Dowager about the Ninth Prince's situation."

The imperial physician, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly left.

And Zhao Xuanji also came to Wang Tenghuan's room.

As soon as the door opened, a pungent smell of medicine and nauseating blood mingled with Wang Tenghuan's pained screams. Several maids hurried back and forth carrying basins full of blood, attending to Wang Tenghuan's wounds.Chapter 839: Transmigrating into Beauty
