Prince Needs to be Tamed

Why was Lu Jinnian hiding near the temporary morgue?

It was simple. She did not completely trust Chen Li.

Although this person looked both honest and stunned, she couldn't completely believe that they had only met for a short period of time.

The Chen family had been practicing medicine for generations, and quite a few people had entered the Imperial Hospital. It could be said that the Chen family had a large background, and was a very untouchable character. Lu Jinsheng, on the other hand, only recognized half of them.

What kind of place was the palace? Chen Li was really tough. No matter who he bumped into, he wouldn't sit on a bench in the Imperial Hospital for eight consecutive years. Rather, not even his bones were left.

Of course, these were the rules that Chen Li and even the entire Chen family followed. Lu Jinsheng didn't care and was too lazy to ask, as long as he didn't play tricks on her, he would just point out what he promised to point out.

As for pointing out that the corpse wasn't Du Lang himself, it wasn't that Lu Jinniang couldn't do it, it was just that he couldn't. Not only could she not properly explain that she knew how to examine the corpse, she didn't have any authority over the words said by the people of the hospital, not to mention that Chen Li was someone who had come into contact with this corpse from the start. From his perspective, the credibility of the matter wasn't limited to just one or two points.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Jinsheng didn't need to appear directly.

Inside the morgue, Chen Li was speaking to the two of them with a respectful and serious attitude.

Vice Minister Du knew that the one who died was not his own son and that his own son was still alive. However, he did not know where he had gone, but was filled with sorrow and joy. He felt a sense of lingering fear.

The eunuch then thought to himself, "Someone is actually torturing a child in the palace, even daring to kidnap the son of a court official, and even trying to change him. If he succeeds, what will happen to him?"

"Imperial Physician Chen, you're only interested in the difficult illnesses and never look at the corpses. Why are you paying so much attention today?" The noble and benevolent official was not suspicious. It was just that he had developed a cautious personality when working with the Emperor. It would not be a bad thing to ask another question.

Chen Li nodded solemnly, "This humble subject recognizes a master, and teaches this humble subject that watching the dead can save people, but this time, it is master's suggestion. If this humble subject does not care about the corpse, I would not have discovered that this person is not Assistant Minister Du's son, and Minister Du's real son is missing. I do not know what will happen if time goes by, is it not a sin?"

Even if it wasn't yesterday, Madam Du's wails and howls had confirmed whether or not the corpse was her son. She didn't say whether or not it was her own son's death, but she eagerly requested for a coroner to examine her body. If the imperial physician examined her corpse, wouldn't that be slapping the hospital in the face?

In the end, no one recognized the corpse as real or fake, and that was it.

The person behind this was truly bold. He had attacked in the palace, and his target was still the minister's son. Next time, he should not extend his hand to the princes.

The noble official's eyes narrowed, a sharp light flashing through them. "Imperial Physician Chen's words are true. Honorable Vice Minister Du, follow us to face the sage and ask for an imperial decree to search the palace."

But in the end, she couldn't help but ask, "Right, Imperial Physician Chen, I still haven't heard about you taking me as your disciple. I wonder who your master is, where's your famous master?"

Chen Li lightly smiled, causing the concealed Lu JinNian to feel uncertain.

"My master is a crane in the wilderness, and he does not like to put himself in a high position. Apart from medical skills, I know nothing. I only know my master's name — the slut Hou Long."

Lu JinNian, "..." She had a sentence that she didn't know whether to say or not.

"..."

When he returned to the living room in the palace, it was already quite late. Lu JinNian changed back into his own clothes, pushed open the door and saw Xiao Yun staring at her with his wet and misty eyes. His scarlet lips pouted.

As a boy, and also a boy whose age even dogs despised, Xiao Yun's skin was extremely good, and his character was simply beyond good … Yes, this is in front of Lu JinNian.

Staring at this child who was maliciously acting cute, Lu JinNian resisted the urge to pinch his face and tell himself that this was a prince and that he couldn't pinch him. He smiled and said, "Good morning, Seventh Prince."

Xiao Yun crossed his hands and said, "It's getting late, father has already left!"

Lu JinNian stroked his chin, "Yes, my daughter should leave the palace and return home." He had to confirm whether Du Lang had been sent over by the Demon Lord. Even if he hadn't, the items that she left on Du Lang's body would have helped her find the person.

"No, no!" Xiao Yun shamelessly went up to hug Lu JinNian's waist and said, "Sis Jin'er, you promised to accompany me. In the end, you only coaxed me to sleep, then ran out. At the very least, you have to accompany me to eat breakfast! Furthermore, I finally mustered the courage to do so. As long as big sister Jin'er is here, I'll … "

Lu JinNian put his finger on Xiao Yun's lips, curled his lips and smiled, "Brat, you're threatening me."

Being seen through, Xiao Yun's face turned red as he lowered his head in silence.

"Hey, I told you before that there are some wounds that should not be opened. They are not for you to threaten me with. Furthermore, I do not have a good temper."

"Even though I said that, Big Sister Jin'er couldn't bear to see me sad."

Lu JinNian retracted his finger and narrowed his eyes to look at him, "What did you say?"

"Nothing!" Xiao Yun laughed foolishly.

Lu Jinnian sighed, "The reason I said that is because even if the wound is scabbed, it will still hurt if it is picked up. What I want to tell you now is, if the scar is ripped open, it will hurt, but not the wound will never heal. Your Highness Seventh Prince, you know what I'm talking about, right?"

The matter of Du Lang's disappearance was an opportunity. Perhaps the shadow in Xiao Yun's heart could not be dispelled. However, it would also be a good thing if he could face that matter head on.

Even if it was a child, there would always be a day when they grew up. They couldn't hope to be protected forever and didn't want to be too fragile and good.

Lu JinNian always remembered the first time he saw Xiao Yun four years ago.

She had just returned from a faked death at the border, and on the way, she noticed that there was something wrong with the expressions of a group of people. Based on her many years of experience charging into a bandit's nest alone, she could tell that they were a group of bandits.

The smell of blood could be smelt from far away, causing Lu JinNian to report it to the officials without hesitation. Afterwards, he continued to track down the bandits.

At that time, she had thought that the goods on the Mountain Bandits' carriages should have been obtained by killing people and looting their goods. She hadn't thought that it would be Xiao Yun, this child.

The interior of the horse carriage was very small. Lu Jinniang only dared to approach the horse carriage to inspect its contents while the bandits were resting.

Her face was as white as paper, yet very calm. However, her trembling body revealed his panic, and her sleeves were torn apart. She held a dagger in her hand, which was now pointed at him, then dashed out.

She was facing a woman who had a face covered by a mask, but her lust was not concealed …
