Chapter 137 The Second Treatment (Revised Chapter)
Chapter 137 The Second Treatment (Revised Chapter)
Day two.
After Su Tang woke up, Chunmei came over to report that Aunt Zhao had been waiting in the Plum Courtyard early in the morning.
Su Tang knew that Nanny Zhao was going to take her to see the Second Prince.
She simply washed up and had a quick breakfast, then called Madam Zhao to the courtyard where she lived.
"Sorry to have kept Madam Zhao waiting for a long time."
"It's okay. The master said that we should wait until everything is settled here."
Su Tang raised her eyebrows, smiled and stood up, "Well, let's go now, don't let His Highness wait too long."
"Yes." After agreeing, Nanny Zhao walked to the front to lead the way.
Soon Su Tang saw the second prince again.
"Are you used to living in the Plum Courtyard, my little sister?" The second prince sent the servants away. At this time, only Su Tang and he were left in the room.
"Well, the Plum Courtyard is quiet and elegant. Aunt Zhao said that the scenery will be even more beautiful when the plum blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom." Su Tang sat opposite the second prince, observing his expression.
Although the Second Prince's complexion was still somewhat pale, he was indeed more energetic than before.
"I will treat His Highness now." Su Tang said and took out a tranquilizer gun.
"What is this?"
"Injectable anesthetics. This one can better control the dosage."
The reason why Su Tang took out the anesthetic gun today was because when she finished treating the second prince that day and came out of the space, she found that there was a person hiding in the house.
This man had been hiding on the beam of the house before. Su Tang neglected him when she came. She didn't expect that the second prince actually let a secret guard hide in the house.
The reason why she was able to discover it when she came out was that she subconsciously wanted to see if there was anyone watching around.
But I didn't expect that there was someone hiding in the house.
Therefore, the fact that she and the second prince disappeared and reappeared out of thin air could definitely not be concealed, but neither of them made it clear, and Su Tang did not intend to tell the second prince about the space.
Su Tang handed the anesthetic needle in her hand to the second prince, who took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Press here, and the anesthetic inside can be injected into the body. This anesthetic is much more effective than Ma Fei San."
Su Tang walked to the side of the Second Prince and explained to him how to use the tranquilizer gun.
"This thing is really novel." The second prince looked at the anesthesia gun for a while, and returned it to Su Tang. "If military doctors can also use this thing, then the soldiers fighting for the country will feel less pain when they are injured."
"There aren't many anesthetics this pure."
"It's a pity."
"Let's start the treatment." Su Tang held up the anesthetic gun and signaled the second prince to roll up his clothes on his arms.
The second prince did as he was told without any hesitation.
After one injection, the second prince fell asleep quickly.
Su Tang held the Second Prince's arm and looked up at a spot on the beam.
Behind a thick beam on the roof, a corner of black clothes flashed by.
Su Tang waved towards the beam, then disappeared into the house with the second prince.
Behind the beam, the secret guard beside the second prince noticed the disappearance of the aura in the house, and instantly stuck his head out from behind the beam to look down.
Sure enough, the place where the Second Prince and Su Tang had just been was empty in the room.
He was standing on a high place and could see the situation inside the house clearly at a glance. There was no one else in the house at this time.
He jumped down from the beam in an instant, and when he landed on the ground, there was no sound.
The seat where the second prince had just sat still felt warm to the touch.
Then how did the second prince and Su Tang disappear?
Yesterday, he witnessed with his own eyes the Second Prince and Su Tang suddenly disappear, and then suddenly appear in the house.
He had no idea how Su Tang managed to do all this, and he had no idea where the Second Prince and Su Tang had gone during that time.
However, there was one thing he was sure of, and that was that Su Tang knew no martial arts and had no internal strength. She was an absolutely ordinary person.
When he told the Second Prince about this yesterday, the Second Prince told him to observe carefully today, but absolutely not to harm Su Tang.
However, what he never expected was that today he still couldn't figure out where the Second Prince and Su Tang had gone, but instead Su Tang discovered his hiding place.
In desperation, the secret guard had to show up, come to the yard, and join other secret guards hiding around the yard.
"Did you see anyone coming out of the house?"
The other secret guards all shook their heads, "No."
"Go back and keep an eye on it." The secret guard sighed, and then returned to the house again.
However, this time he did not stay on the beam, but found another place to hide.
Su Tang continued to treat the unconscious Second Prince in the space. She had done this once the day before. Before coming this time, she had prepared all the necessary equipment and medicines in advance, so the treatment time this time was much faster than the day before.
After coming out, while waiting for the Second Prince to wake up, Su Tang wandered around the Second Prince's room again.
"Why didn't you make the pastries from last time this time?" Su Tang looked around but didn't find any snacks or other food.
The secret guard hiding in the dark listened to Su Tang's muttering, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Su Tang also searched the house last time, but she just looked at the things in the house and didn't take anything.
Of course, Su Tang ate all the snacks in the house.
Su Tang returned to the table and sat down with some boredom, "Why don't you go and tell the people outside to bring some snacks over."
The room was silent except for the breathing of Su Tang and the Second Prince.
"Hey, let me tell you, you're such a grown-up, and it's boring to still play hide-and-seek. Come out and find someone to bring some cakes over." Su Tang pulled aside the curtain under the bed and made eye contact with the secret guard inside.
The secret guard, now that he has been found, there is no need for him to hide anymore.
After crawling out from under the bed, he walked silently into the yard and made several gestures towards the yard.
He couldn't leave this house.
Even though the Second Prince said that Su Tang had no ill will towards him and would not harm him, as a secret guard, he could not leave his master at will and leave his master alone in an uncontrollable environment.
So, after making a gesture, the secret guard returned to the house and stood beside the second prince.
Fortunately, he was wearing a black face scarf, so Su Tang couldn't see his embarrassed expression.
Soon there was a knock on the door, and Su Tang walked over and opened it.
There was another man at the door wearing the same black clothes, but he was holding a food box in his hand.
When the man saw Su Tang open the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then silently handed the lunch box to Su Tang.
"Thank you." Su Tang took the lunch box, thanked him, turned around and closed the door again.
Fortunately, the secret guard saw the secret guard standing in the room at the moment he closed the door, and then he returned to his original position without any expression.
When the second prince woke up again, he found the secret guard standing beside him.
When the secret guard saw the second prince wake up, he immediately knelt in front of him.
"My subordinate has been discovered."
"Hey, don't blame him. I'm a special person. I can see anyone who is hiding." Su Tang finished the last piece of cake and patted the crumbs on her hands.
"Oh?! Is that natural? How come I'm nothing special?" The second prince looked at Su Tang's facial features which were identical to those of Concubine Su. His newly found imperial sister was so special.
She possesses many unique and miraculous abilities. Not only can she cure chronic diseases and difficult and complicated illnesses, she can also make people disappear out of thin air.
Most of the objects in her hands were novel, things he had never heard of or seen before.
It was impossible for such a royal sister to have had some adventure outside the palace.
He has already sent people to Dahe Village to inquire about Su Tang's past experiences. Everything will probably have to wait until those people report back.
Or maybe he would only know the answer when Su Tang let down her guard against him and wanted to tell him.
He admitted that he was somewhat wary when he first met Su Tang.
Firstly, this was a habit he had developed since childhood. After all, he was born into a royal family. If he had not been on guard, he would have died countless times.
Secondly, Su Tang had been separated from him for many years and grew up outside the palace.
He had to be on guard against someone knowing about Concubine Su's entrusting her son to him, and using this to set up a trap to kill him completely.
He has been lingering on for many years, and perhaps he will not live to be a hundred years old, but he does not want to die before avenging Concubine Su.
This would be too easy for those who harmed them.
The second prince waved his hand, signaling the secret guards to leave.
The secret guard hesitated for a moment, glanced at Su Tang who was looking at him with a raised eyebrow, then turned around and slipped out of the room.
This time, there was no third person in the room.
“Little sister, I did mean to test you before, but you also know that since my mother was murdered, you were also sent out of the palace by Doctor Zhao.
I, who was left alone in the palace, was not spared either.
They tampered with my food, but I'm lucky it hasn't happened until now.
But my previous body couldn't earn that position. I had no power, and my father didn't pay attention to me. I could only secretly build up my own power. I dragged this broken body with me just to avenge my mother.
And I will find you and give you a rich fortune so that you can have a comfortable life in the future."
"But now I have hope of fighting for my body." The second prince had a faint smile on his face and a determined light in his eyes.
"We can no longer sit there and wait for death. If we want revenge, we must gain more power and resources.
And these can only be achieved by ascending the throne.
So, I need a helper, someone I can trust to help me accomplish this goal.”
What Su Tang showed him, whether it was medical skills or those strange methods, were not something ordinary people could do.
When he came up with the idea of talking things out with Su Tang, he also thought that only with Su Tang's help could he get what he wanted.
The second prince took a deep breath and continued, "Little sister, if you are willing to help me, then we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties together and avenge our mother.
I can swear here that I will never do anything to let you down or betray you."
For Su Tang, being involved in court struggles is not a terrible thing.
If this world must have an emperor, it is not impossible for the second prince to be the emperor.
Of course, Su Tang was not afraid that the second prince would do something bad to her. With the hot weapons in her hands, it was not impossible for her to become the emperor herself.
But Su Tang also knew that being an emperor was not an easy job. There were too many national affairs to deal with every day. She didn't want to be confined to the throne and toil away all her life.
She prefers a free and easy life.
For example, if she opened a medicine valley, she would not treat the patients she did not want to treat.
"Yes, but I want you to write me a letter of guarantee right now, swearing on your kingdom."
Su Tang's words were already very bold, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
For a modern person, such a request is not excessive.
"Okay, little sister, tell me how to write it." The second prince was stunned for a moment after hearing Su Tang's words, but he still agreed and stood up and walked towards the desk beside him.
"I swear on your future kingdom. If you betray me, your kingdom will be taken over by another virtuous person."
The second prince walked to the desk, picked up a pen, and wrote a letter of guarantee as Su Tang said.
Soon, the second prince finished writing the letter of guarantee, stamped it with his own seal, and handed it to Su Tang.
Su Tang knew that the emperor could break this letter of guarantee at any time.
After all, if you are not ruthless, your country will not be stable.
In the history she knew, many emperors would abandon their brothers who had helped them build the empire together after they had secured their throne.
Born in an imperial family, there is almost no family affection.
But Su Tang wanted to see whether her royal brother was the same.
The reason she wanted this letter of guarantee was simply so that she could have a reason to kill the Second Prince if he broke his promise in the future.
After all, she is not the second prince's real sister, and there is no family affection between them.
After talking with the Second Prince for a while, Su Tang got some good things from him.
She didn't expect that the second prince was so wealthy.
The second prince gave her more than a dozen deeds, which included seven or eight shops in Kyoto, all of which were prosperous shops. It was said that they were shops with particularly good business.
The deeds also include several large mansions in the capital and several farms in the suburbs of the capital.
"By the way, I forgot to ask before, what is the relationship between the Qian family and Your Highness?" After reading the contracts, Su Tang looked up at the second prince and asked.
"Don't you know? The Qian family is my mother's family."
"Oh, the Qian family didn't tell me, who is my mother's father's family?"
When Concubine Su was murdered, was there no one to support her?
"Grandmaster Su has been dead for many years. He only has one daughter, my mother."
Su Tang raised her eyebrows. No wonder. He had no one in the court, so it made sense that he was eventually killed by someone.
"Then tell me more about the relationship and power distribution of officials in the capital."
Su Tang stayed in the Second Prince's mansion for a long time this time. It was only when the Second Prince showed signs of fatigue again that Su Tang left the mansion.
"Hehe, I was so fascinated by what he was listening to that I forgot that His Highness had just received treatment today and needed to rest." Su Tang scratched her head, then left happily holding the box of contracts given by the Second Prince.
The second prince looked at Su Tang who was leaving and was stunned for a while.
Although he talked to Su Tang today, he didn't ask Su Tang about her secret.
Just like the anesthetic gun that Su Tang showed him today, when Su Tang wants to say something, she will tell him.
