Liu Shimei entered the room and the first thing she saw was a silly dog with a face full of grievance, eyes pleading at her. The pitiful sight of abandonment almost shattered her heart!

“I had a lot of things to handle, so it took longer than expected,” Liu Shimei explained in response to his questioning look. She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, speaking gently, “Lingyao, you must have other wounds on your body. Shall I take a look at them again?”

Well, weren’t there quite a few things to deal with?

She still needed to find time to talk to Zhong Lang about tonight. Unlike the mindset of ancient high-ranking officials, she didn’t think her guards should be her servants, to be ordered around as she pleased.

She didn’t think Zhong Lang owed her anything; he had his own private matters, and she respected that.

But even so, some things needed to be clarified to avoid such incidents in the future.

After all, she trusted that with Zhong Lang around, her safety was guaranteed. But who could have predicted such an event today, which put that trust in jeopardy.

It must be resolved!

“I’m fine, just some minor wounds. They have all been treated,” Huangfu Lingyao said, feeling extremely great seeing her gentle demeanor.

He thought, ‘Although my wife was scared today, thankfully she’s alright. It’s worth enduring this injury for her!’

He looked at her eagerly and asked, “Wife, you’ve been busy all evening. Are you hungry? Have you had dinner yet?”

“Not yet,” Liu Shimei shook her head and replied, “My uncle’s wife will have dinner sent over to me shortly.”

Huangfu Lingyao blinked and asked, “Have those scoundrels’ matters been taken care of?”

He had already been plotting in his mind. Even if those black-clad men were thrown into the dungeon, he had to find a way to make them pay the price, to make them understand that this 100 taels of silver coins was not earned so easily! As for Du Gong, who had arranged the assassination behind the scenes, he was not going to let him off either!

In this case, Du Gong would probably be sentenced to death by beheading.

But Huangfu Lingyao had already figured out what to do before Du Gong’s execution.

Liu Shimei replied, “You are the Prince. In the face of an assassination attempt, the Magistrate cannot bear the responsibility alone. So tomorrow, the case will be presented to the Grand Court. After investigating the cause and effect thoroughly, it will be left to the Emperor to decide.”

“Oh.” Huang Fu Lingyao lowered his eyelids, thinking, ‘Originally, I wanted to stay by my wife’s side and seek her affection. But now, I can’t! If I don’t go to the palace and cry ‘ouch’ in front of Imperial Father, how can I blow this matter out of proportion?’

With this thought, he made up his mind: he could always coax his wife later; emotions could be cultivated slowly. Dealing with his wife’s proper matters was more important!

He said, “Should I also go to the palace tomorrow to recuperate?”

Seeing his reluctant expression, Liu Shimei sighed, reached out, and touched his delicate face. “If you don’t want to go, then don’t. But you’ve been injured; it should be recorded in the medical records. So tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the palace to find Physician Shu.”

In addition, she also planned to ask Shu Han about Huang Fu Lingyao’s martial arts training during his childhood.

As for those patients with appointments, she had no choice but to reschedule them. Work needed to be done, but surely, having survived an assassination attempt, she deserved to postpone it a bit, right?

“Great, great!” Hearing that his wife would accompany him to the palace, the naive husband naturally agreed wholeheartedly!

He then asked, “What about that guy, Polang Hua?? Did you settle the score with him?”

When he asked this question, a momentary hint of hostility flashed in his eyes, something he couldn’t quite contain, making him momentarily grim.

But he quickly recovered. It was just a child’s momentary anger.

Liu Shimei was taken aback, realizing that every time she was in danger, he would show extreme anger, revealing his hostility…
