Chapter 234 Linze was tricked into knocking out Xie Nanyuan
Shen Qionghua nodded in satisfaction and continued, "No need to call a doctor. This is the medicine prepared by Dr. Pei. An antidote prepared by an ordinary doctor would probably be ineffective and even harm the prince's body."
"Your Highness has already weathered the most difficult time. The remaining time won't be any harder than before. When the day breaks in two hours, everything will be fine."
Lin Ze was very convinced of Pei Liangchuan's medical skills. After hearing Shen Qionghua's words, he nodded repeatedly and felt that it made sense.
Shen Qionghua caught a glimpse of Xie Nanyuan glaring at her angrily. After a moment's thought, she said to Linze, "How about this: you knock the prince unconscious?"
Xie Nanyuan: “!”
"Huh?" Lin Ze was startled and subconsciously took two steps back. He asked, "Why...why?"
Shen Qionghua rubbed his chin with his fingertips, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.
Given Linze's heart for protecting his master, he might have taken the cloth out of Prince Rui's mouth before he even left the Shen family's house. He might as well go all out...
There was a strange light in her eyes as she looked at Lin Ze and said, "Think about it, the prince only brought you with him when he came out. Given the prince's current condition, it's not convenient for me to keep you here."
"If you leave before daybreak, you can still conceal your actions. If you leave during the day, if someone on the road sees the prince's limp state, who knows what rumors might spread."
Lin Ze nodded, then asked in confusion: "But why did you knock the prince unconscious?"
Seeing that he had been successfully misled, Shen Qionghua continued to deceive him, "Of course it's for the prince's sake!"
"Think about it, the prince's medicine has not yet worn off, and his limbs are limp. It will be difficult for you to bring him back to the palace by yourself."
"That's fine, but what if the prince regains some strength and struggles? The prince is still unconscious from the effects of the drug, but he could do anything."
"If you meet a woman on the way, can you stop the prince or beat him?"
Lin Ze was speechless: "How can I...how can I defeat the prince..."
Shen Qionghua understood and said, "That's enough. Besides, the prince has been working hard all night and has not slept. Now he has been enduring it. Why don't you knock him out?"
"This way, not only will the prince be spared the pain of patience he currently endures, without having to gag him, but he will also be able to rest for a while, conserving his strength and energy for handling official business tomorrow, and it will also make it easier for you to take the prince back to the palace."
Shen Qionghua clapped her hands and said excitedly, "This is simply killing three birds with one stone! Why not do it!"
These words tilted the balance in Lin Ze's heart towards Shen Qionghua, but he was still a little hesitant. "But how can I commit such an act of disobedience? The prince will definitely punish me later..."
As he spoke, his eyes still looked in one direction, his whole body shuddered and he shrank back, "No... No, absolutely not!"
Shen Qionghua looked in the direction he was looking at, and saw Xie Nanyuan looking at her with bloodshot eyes.
Lin Ze thought he was glaring at him, but Shen Qionghua understood that Xie Nanyuan was glaring at herself.
Shen Qionghua smiled at him, then looked at Lin Ze and advised: "As subordinates, we should not only complete the tasks assigned by the prince, but also remind him when he goes astray."
"Think about it: which is more important, the prince's punishment or the prince's reputation and health?"
As she spoke, Shen Qionghua took a few steps forward and walked to Xie Nanyuan's side. She covered Xie Nanyuan's angry eyes with her soft hands and looked at Linze. Her voice was bewitching, "Hurry up. The prince is unconscious right now. When he wakes up and understands your good intentions, he will definitely not blame you."
Lin Ze gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time before finally being persuaded by Shen Qionghua. He slowly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness. I am doing this for your own good. If you want to punish me when you wake up, I will accept it!"
Xie Nanyuan: “…” Idiot!
With his eyes covered, Xie Nanyuan could only feel the sweet scent of a woman lingering around him. He heard Shen Qionghua say, "Don't worry, as long as the prince is reasonable, he won't punish you."
Xie Nanyuan: "..."
He heard Lin Ze's footsteps approaching slowly, and then he felt a pain in the back of his neck and fainted.
Shen Qionghua looked at Lin Ze in surprise. Lin Ze had knocked Xie Nanyuan unconscious with such great force that she was shocked. The bruises on the back of Prince Rui's neck would probably remain for a while.
But logically speaking, Lin Ze's martial arts skills are good, so he shouldn't be unable to control his strength. Could it be...
Lin Ze faced Shen Qionghua's suspicious gaze and chuckled, "This is my first time attacking the prince, so I'm a little nervous."
He would not admit that he had smuggled some private goods into the company because of this rare opportunity.
It’s the prince’s fault for being so bullying before!
Lin Ze removed the white cloth from Xie Nanyuan's mouth, carefully carried Xie Nanyuan onto his shoulders, and said to Shen Qionghua, "Then Miss Shen, Lin Ze will take his leave first."
Shen Qionghua nodded.
Lin Ze then strode away, and in the darkness, he disappeared into the yard with a few difficult leaps.
As soon as Lin Ze left, Shen Qionghua couldn't hold back her laughter any longer and sat down on the armchair and burst out laughing.
She could imagine how furious King Rui would be when he woke up after being teased like this and knocked unconscious by his trusted subordinates.
Just thinking about it made Shen Qionghua feel extremely excited, and she wished she could turn invisible and run to Prince Rui's Mansion to watch it live.
Shaoyao closed the door and walked in, her eyes and eyebrows full of smiles, "Miss, your trick is really brilliant. I'm afraid Prince Rui will be furious when he wakes up."
Shen Qionghua snorted coldly, "That's not true, but he deserves it. He's the one who repeatedly entered my bedroom without my permission. He deserves to be taught a lesson."
"It's just pitiful for Linze... But it doesn't matter. King Rui trusts and values him the most, so he won't punish him severely."
Shen Qionghua felt a little guilty towards Linze, but not much.
Shaoyao saw the dark circles under Shen Qionghua's eyes and said with some distress, "Miss, you have been busy all night. It's still early. Go to sleep for a while."
This Prince Rui is really something. He has to come at night and makes people unable to sleep peacefully.
Shen Qionghua yawned, nodded, and said, "You can go back to your room and get some sleep. You don't have to keep watch over me."
Anyway, Prince Rui will not come again tonight.
Shaoyao nodded in agreement, helped Shen Qionghua change clothes and get on the bed, then she left and returned to her room.
As the sky gradually brightened, the master and servant of the Shen family were sleeping soundly, but the Rui Palace was in an uproar.
