Chapter 1586 - 1568
Feng Luo was quite upset. Initially, she didn’t support Chu Ge’s approach, but now she had changed her mind, and not only that, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Before Chu Ge could say anything about what to do, Feng Luo rushed up to the maid.
The maid screamed in fright, "Who are you?"
The osmanthus cake in her hand was knocked to the ground in shock. Feng Luo looked at the cake on the ground and clicked her tongue, "Looks like Lao Luo won’t get to eat this osmanthus cake."
She approached the maid, and at some point, a dagger appeared in her hand. She said, "Tell me, where is the Princess Consort?"
The maid was already trembling with fear, unable to utter a word. She looked at Feng Luo in fear, wanting to call for help, but it felt as if something was choking her throat, making it impossible to scream.
Chu Ge stepped forward at the right moment and said to Feng Luo, "You’re scaring her so much she can’t speak."
Feng Luo looked speechlessly at Chu Ge. She obviously had a cute face, so how could she be scary!
Ignoring Feng Luo’s gaze, Chu Ge stepped forward and softly said to the maid, "Don’t worry, we’re not bad people, and we won’t take your life. If you tell us where the Princess Consort is, we’ll let you go. But if you don’t..."
He glanced at the knife in Feng Luo’s hand and continued, "If you don’t, this knife might just find its mark."
The maid nodded hurriedly, swallowed her saliva in fear, and said, "I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. The Princess Consort lives in the Qingyou Pavilion. Just follow the corridor straight to the end and turn right."
"Straight to the end and then turn right?" Chu Ge murmured to himself. When he turned around, he saw Feng Luo had jumped onto the roof again, looking in the direction the maid had indicated.
After a moment, she jumped down from the roof, strode up to the maid, and pressed the blade against the maid’s neck, "You’re lying! I just checked that place, Qingyou Pavilion is so secluded, how could it possibly be where the Princess Consort resides?"
"That is indeed where the Princess Consort lives, as arranged by the Prince."
Feng Luo, being from modern times, thought of scenes from television dramas when she heard that, and she sheathed her blade with a chuckle, "So she’s an unloved Princess Consort. Then why are they making such a fuss for Luo Qi to treat her?"
The maid, focused only on saving her own life, quickly explained, "Because the Housekeeper wants to use this to humiliate the Princess Consort."
"Humiliate? What do you mean?" Feng Luo was puzzled.
"It’s just... just..." The maid swallowed, whispered, "using a beggar to humiliate the Princess Consort."
"Damn!" Feng Luo couldn’t help but curse! "I’ll show them we’re irreconcilable!"
Feng Luo rolled up her sleeves and headed in the direction of Qingyou Pavilion, while Chu Ge looked down at the maid who was still sitting on the ground.
The maid’s eyes were full of terror, nervously gazing at Chu Ge, her eyes pleading.
"I’ve said everything I can. Please don’t kill me."
"I won’t kill you, so there’s no need to worry," Chu Ge paused, squatted down, and said to the maid, "I will only..."
The maid didn’t realize what happened, but suddenly everything went dark, and she fainted.
"I will only knock you out."
After knocking the maid out, Chu Ge placed her to the side and then followed along.
At this time, Qingyou Pavilion was bustling inside and out.
When Chu Ge and Feng Luo arrived, they saw a group of people standing by the door, peering inside.
"I wonder if this Beggar Gang Leader can cure the Princess Consort."
"The Housekeeper said if it’s not cured, heads will roll."
"Is it that serious?"
"Of course, our Prince already dislikes the Beggar Gang. If the Gang Leader can’t cure the Princess Consort, the Prince will seize this opportunity to deal with the Beggar Gang."
Upon hearing this conversation, anger surged in Feng Luo’s heart, and she glared at the people gossiping, intending to rush up and fight them, but was stopped by Chu Ge.
Chu Ge said to her, "They’re just talking nonsense. Why get angry with them?"
Feng Luo couldn’t stand it, she wasn’t going to pay attention to them. She forcibly shook off Chu Ge’s hand, "Today I’m going to teach them what proper disciplining means!"
Once again, Chu Ge stopped her, "Don’t you trust your father’s skills?"
Feng Luo suddenly turned and glared at him, "What do you mean by that?"
"Just what it sounds like. I think your father won’t fail. When your father successfully saves the Princess Consort, who’s the one going to be embarrassed?"
Feng Luo was even more puzzled.
Chu Ge shook his head speechlessly, "You’re usually so smart, why become so dull at critical moments? Think about it, if your father cures the Princess Consort, won’t the Prince thank you? They wanted to use this chance to teach you a lesson, but in the end, they’ll have to say thank you. Won’t they feel stifled?"
He paused, glanced at the situation inside, and continued, "By then, instead of saying they want to deal with you, they’ll have to admit their Princess Consort was saved by the Beggar Gang while the Imperial Physicians were useless!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Luo immediately understood, and she smacked her forehead, saying, "Right, how did I not think of that? I believe Luo Qi will certainly cure the Princess Consort. We will wait here; I want to see their faces when the Prince Manor thanks us."
Chu Ge, seeing Feng Luo was easily placated by just a few words, shook his head helplessly.
They stood there waiting for a long time, but nothing stirred inside.
Luo Qi had been inside for some time. Due to the Princess Consort’s noble status, he could only diagnose her pulse from outside the screen, frowning all the while.
The Princess Consort’s condition was peculiar; there was nothing wrong upon diagnosis, yet she wouldn’t wake up.
Luo Qi was stumped; unable to approach the Princess Consort closely and lacking a direct observation of her condition, his task was made harder.
"Boss Luo?" The Housekeeper, standing by, watched Luo Qi anxiously, "How is the Princess Consort’s condition?"
Luo Qi shook his head slightly, without saying a word.
The Housekeeper hurriedly pressed, "Boss Luo, can’t you say something about the situation?"
Luo Qi finished the line check and frowned at the Housekeeper, "I say, Housekeeper, I haven’t finished diagnosing, how can I tell you?"
The Housekeeper’s lips twitched, fine, he’d wait longer then!
After a moment, Luo Qi stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and paced silently.
"I say, Boss Luo, you can stop pacing; you’re making my head spin."
The Housekeeper asked urgently, "Is the Princess Consort’s condition serious or not?"
