Chapter 488 Recuperation
Song Ruize took people to send Tang Yichen back to Tang's house. He did not enter the gate of Tang's house, but left with the people from the military department.
When Qin Huiyin rushed out after hearing the news, she only saw Song Ruize riding away on horseback.
The whole family stayed by Tang Yichen's bedside waiting for Tang Yixiao's diagnosis results.
Tang Yixiao took Tang Yichen's pulse first, then checked his wound, and said to everyone, "Brother's wound is healing well. As long as he rests well at home and doesn't cause any more trouble, he will be able to get out of bed and walk in half a month at most."
"Thank God." Tang Dafu clasped his hands together, "God bless you."
"It wasn't the Bodhisattva's blessing, it was the capable man from the Song family who was protecting us," Li Taohua said. "He saved your son, and we should thank him very much."
"That's because my son is lucky. God is going to take away that vicious woman and save him from disaster." Tang Dafu said.
"God is very busy and can't hear your prayers. If you have the time to trust in God's protection, you might as well cling to the right person." Li Taohua said unhappily, "Forget it, there's no point in telling you this."
Tang Yichen woke up quickly. Seeing his family standing by his bed, he said weakly, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Princess Yuanying committed suicide by jumping into a well in the middle of the night. Even if you agree now, Prince Zhong's mansion won't have a daughter to marry you. We've finally gotten rid of those lingering evil spirits in Prince Zhong's mansion," Li Taohua said. "But you've angered the Emperor. Without his approval, you can't return to the Ministry of Works. Be prepared. Even if you do return, this incident might make it difficult for you to get promoted. Even if you do return, your once-friendly colleagues might start to use force against you. Who has made you lose the Emperor's favor now?"
"I understand." Tang Yichen said, "No matter what's waiting for me ahead, I'm not afraid. What's more, I don't think things are that bad."
Tang Yixiao wrote a prescription and brought back some herbs from the Imperial Hospital to boil the medicine for Tang Yichen. From picking the prescription, selecting the herbs, to boiling the medicine, he personally supervised the entire process, just to achieve the best effect and let Tang Yichen recover sooner.
Tang Luwu and Qin Huiyin stayed by Tang Yichen's bed to entertain him. They only left for a while when Tang Yichen was resting.
Tang Yichen lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. He looked like a different person, with a bit of sickly pretty look.
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu took advantage of Tang Yichen's break to come to the kitchen to make him something delicious. The two sisters hadn't cooked in a long time, and this moment seemed to have returned to the time when they were in the countryside.
"Why can't I see your little tail?" Qin Huiyin asked curiously while stirring the soup in the bowl.
"Not long ago, the Imperial Guards were recruiting, and he applied. After three rounds of screening, he's currently in training."
"Why does he suddenly want to join the Imperial Guard?"
"I don't know either," Tang Luwu said. "But he's very smart and has good skills. It's a bit of a waste of his talent to always follow me around as a little follower. If he has a better place to go, of course it would be better to watch him climb up."
"That's right."
Zhilan walked in and said to Qin Huiyin, "Miss Xia is here."
"Where is she? Bring her here!"
"Do I need someone to take me to your house?" Xia Ruwan walked in. "It smells so good! Give me some later."
"Okay." Qin Huiyin glanced back at her and saw a worry on her face. She asked doubtfully, "You don't look well. Did you not sleep well, or are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"The daily bills are so huge, and I have to support thousands of employees. How can I not feel some pressure? I'm so worried. I can't sleep all night long. I'm so worried."
"I thought you were only thinking about Young Master Li, but you're worried about business too?" Qin Huiyin said, "I heard Young Master Li led a caravan out of the capital."
"Yes! He has to start from scratch now, and many business deals have to be negotiated in person. However, now that the Li family has no one to tell him what to do, he can be the boss."
"The Li family's fortune is gone, leaving only an empty shell. If others still dare to interfere, I'm afraid they won't even have a roof over their heads to shelter from the sun or rain. Do they dare to object?"
Qin Huiyin cooked the soup, called Su Jin, packed a portion and asked her to deliver it to the Bingmasi.
"The one from the Song family is in charge of the entire military department now. She's truly formidable. I heard she beat up the Jiang guy. Even though he was rescued by the Earl of Anping, he still received over twenty lashes of the cane. The imperial physician examined him and said his buttocks were completely shattered, with not a single piece of healthy flesh left. He'll have to lie down for ten to twenty days before he can move."
"You are well-informed. I don't know these things." Qin Huiyin was surprised.
"I happened to hear it." Xia Ruwan touched her cheek.
Qin Huiyin thought that Song Ruize had just returned to Beijing and had done several big things, and she didn't know how tired he must be now.
She turned around and said to Tang Luwu, "I'll go to the Song residence later. I need you to take good care of my brother here."
When Tang Luwu heard Xia Ruwan mention the brother of the Song family, she knew that Qin Huiyin would definitely go to see him. The brother of the Song family saved the eldest brother and was indebted to the Tang family. Everyone was very grateful to him.
At this time, Song Ruize came out of the Princess's Mansion.
Jiang Qibin followed him and said to him, "Commander-in-Chief, what does the Princess mean?"
"what do you mean?"
"She fought for you to get the position of commander-in-chief of the military department, and she also asked you to work hard, make more contributions, and strive for a promotion soon."
"Ah."
"Why did she promote you so much?" Jiang Qibin asked. "She also mentioned the Lady Minghua, saying she was very satisfied with your escort and said many good things about you. This doesn't sound right to me. Could it be that the Lady has taken a fancy to you?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Song Ruize frowned, "I haven't been alone with her this whole time."
"But that Lady Minghua was very enthusiastic towards you, actively trying to talk to you along the way. Brother Ze, these royal ladies are particularly spoiled. If you marry one like that, you'll never be able to hold your head high again. The man from the Tang family lost half his life after getting involved with Lady Yuanying. If you hadn't returned in time, I'm afraid he would have lost his entire life. Now that he has escaped from the sea of suffering, you won't be the next one to jump into it, right?"
"I've been too nice to you lately, and you've even dared to curse me." Song Ruize glared at him. "How about I let you go to the North City Military Affairs Department and be the second in command?"
Of the five city garrisons, the North City garrison was the most difficult to control. After all, they had a strong backing and it was difficult to find any evidence against them. The other garrisons were his to take, but the North City garrison would take time to tame.
