Medical Consort, the Prince is Pretending to be Dumb Again

To put it nicely, it was for Huangfu Lingyao’s sake that they let him stay in the palace. In reality, they probably confined him to prevent any further trouble.

He did hit someone, and if he were to reappear today, Huangfu Jiao would definitely not let the opportunity slide and would hold him accountable for the assault.

However, Huangfu Lingyao did not show up, and Huangfu Jiao was angry, but with the Emperor leading the situation, she could not do anything about it.

Liu Shimei asked again, “May I ask, Chief Eunuch, did the Emperor say when he would let His Highness return to the Imperial Residence?”

In other words, when would the confinement end?

Long An smiled slightly and said, “Miss Liu, there’s no need to worry. Once this matter settles down, King Dun Yu will naturally return to his residence. The Emperor is quite indulgent toward King Dun Yu.”

As expected of the eunuch beside the Emperor, he was good at talking.

Liu Shimei gave a courtesy bow. “Thank you, Chief Eunuch. In that case, I’ll take my leave from the palace.”

Originally, she wanted to see how her little puppy was doing—she worried that he might have received additional punishment on top of the confinement. However, Long An’s words clearly reminded her to be patient and not provoke the Emperor.

As for the claim that Huangfu Ling was indulgent toward Huangfu Lingyao, it was probably because the Second Prince was a headache for him, and he had no choice but to handle things this way.

So, she could only leave the palace obediently with Liang Wei.

Seeing that she had boarded the Liang family’s carriage, not even making an attempt to keep up appearances with the Liu family, Liu Fuyun’s face darkened even more. It seems that she did not want to maintain a good father-daughter relationship with Liu Fuyun and instead wanted to get close to the Liang family.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this daughter of his would suppress the Liu family in the future! Liu Yan’er was not one to withstand pressure—what would they do in the future?

In the Liang family’s carriage, Liang Wei burst into hearty laughter. “Haha, seeing Liu Jun’s dark face gives me such satisfaction!”

Liu Shimei smiled as she sat beside him. “Thanks to you, Grandfpa, otherwise, I’m afraid the Yu family would have swallowed me whole.”

“Don’t be afraid of them.” Mentioning the Yu family, Liang Wei snorted and said, “For so many years, the Yu family has been relying on the Grand Princess to maintain their dignity. Do you think they have any real ability?”

Liu Shimei nodded and said, “I’ll listen to you, Grandpa.”

Then she added, “However, I can’t help but feel that the Grand Princess isn’t pleased with the Emperor’s ruling. During the half-year that Princess Ping’an is staying in the Capital, she might try to find a way to keep her here.” “Speaking of this, Grandpa has to remind you.” Liang Wei’s expression changed. “From now on, no matter where you go or what you do, you must have someone by your side. The Yu family’s bunch might not dare to do anything openly, but they might seek revenge against you secretly.”

“I think so too.” Liu Shimei smiled gently at the old man and said, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I have Mr. Zhong here. I’ll bring him along whenever I go out in the future.”

Zhong Lang’s body was almost fully recovered. Now that she had provoked the Yu family, she should be more careful!

“As long as you understand,” Liang Wei said before asking, “By the way, Shimei, even though Princess Ping’an caused trouble, what about you and the Crown Prince….”
