Ch 106: This Palace Will Take A Look For Uncle

“I had only just arrived at the room my niece arranged, and I casually found a maid servant, wanting to inquire about the rules and taboos of the Crown Prince’s Mansion, so as to avoid making any mistakes.”

“Unexpectedly, I had only asked two questions when a maid servant rushed in violently from outside. Without a word, that maid servant forcefully twisted my wrist. My wrist still hurts now.”

“Niece, you must see justice for me.”

Speaking of this, Meng Dongliang endured the pain, showing his twisted wrist to Meng Tingyue.

Hearing this, Meng Tingyue slowly reached out, her fingertips lightly touching Meng Dongliang’s wrist. Suddenly exerting force, she softly asked, “Is it painful here?”

Meng Dongliang cried out in pain, his whole body springing up from the chair, jumping several times.

After the pain subsided somewhat, he fixed his gaze on Meng Tingyue, glaring angrily, his voice trembling with anger: “Niece, you!”

Meng Tingyue then slowly used a handkerchief to cover the smile at the corner of her lips, and said, “Ah, sorry, This Palace’s hand wasn’t light, did I press too hard on Uncle’s wrist? This Palace originally intended to help you treat your wrist, but I used too much force at once.”

“Are you a physician?” Meng Dongliang held his wrist, half-believing and half-doubting.

“Exactly, Uncle, look.” Meng Tingyue gently pointed to the small table not far away, where her written prescriptions were scattered, and a small basket of herbal medicine was placed on top, with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Meng Dongliang walked to the small table half-believing and half-doubting, his gaze quickly glancing over it, “I really can’t tell, Niece, you actually also understand medicine.”

“I know a little, but it’s more than enough to treat Uncle.”

Before she finished speaking, her tone changed, and her expression became serious, “Uncle’s hand injury needs to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise, if it is delayed, I’m afraid this hand will be ruined.”

Hearing this, Meng Dongliang’s face instantly became tense and panicked, “Then Niece, quickly help me treat it, this hand is very useful to me, Uncle, I absolutely cannot lose it!”

Very useful?

It’s probably used for doing some bullying men and women deeds.

A trace of imperceptible chill flashed in Meng Tingyue’s eyes. She slowly raised her eyes and pointed to the small table beside her with her slender fingers, “Uncle, please sit down, This Palace will treat you now.”

After Meng Dongliang sat down as instructed, Meng Tingyue instructed, “Qingdian, go find two guards.”

“Niece, isn’t this a treatment? What are you looking for guards for?” A hint of uneasiness appeared in Meng Dongliang’s heart.

“Uncle, you don’t know, this kind of wrist sprain requires skillful force to reset it, and the process may be painful. Niece is afraid that Uncle will be unable to bear it, so I want to borrow the strength of the guards to ensure that the treatment proceeds smoothly.”

Meng Tingyue’s tone and expression were extremely serious, Meng Dongliang was completely fooled, and could only half-believingly agree.

“Then…then Niece, please be quick.”

Meng Tingyue smiled, her gaze falling on the two guards called in by Qingdian, and she lightly opened her lips to instruct: “You two, please firmly hold Uncle, This Palace will treat Uncle’s wrist injury, there must not be the slightest mistake during this time. If Uncle moves, affecting the treatment, This Palace will hold you accountable.”

“Yes.” The two guards nodded and immediately went to restrain Meng Dongliang.

Meng Dongliang saw Meng Tingyue approaching him step by step. Although she had a calm and gentle smile on her face, Meng Dongliang inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.

He subconsciously wanted to retreat, his back hitting the back of the chair.

He had nowhere to retreat.

The guards also controlled his hands.

“Niece, you… ah——”

Meng Tingyue’s hand fell on his wrist, and a sharp pain instantly spread from his wrist, causing his face to twist in pain, almost struggling to escape.

The guards firmly held his body, and also pressed his legs tightly, preventing him from moving at all.

Meng Tingyue mischievously flipped his wrist, wishing to cripple his hand on the spot, so that he would not be able to do evil in the future.

But she still held back.

After tormenting him for a while, she finally reset Meng Dongliang’s wrist bone.

She took the damp handkerchief from Qingdian and carefully wiped her fingertips, “Okay, let him go.”

“Qingdian, here’s a reward.”

“Thank you, Crown Princess, for the reward.”

The guards left with Qingdian.

With the departure of the guards, Meng Dongliang seemed to have lost all his strength, his whole body limply collapsed on the back of the chair, like a fish out of water, helplessly trembling.

His newly healed hand kept trembling.

“Someone, send Uncle back to the West Garden and take good care of him.”

“Yes.”

Four guards carried Meng Dongliang back to the West Garden.

Afterwards, Yan Hong and Xiao Que entered the room.

Xiao Que was in the side room, and heard Meng Dongliang’s screams that lasted half a cup of tea’s time. Those sounds were extremely sharp and exhilarating.

Thinking of this, she involuntarily released Yan Hong’s warm hand, bent her knees, and knelt directly on the ground.

“Thank you, Crown Princess, for seeking justice for this servant girl.”

“This Palace knows you are still angry, and This Palace can assure you that he will pay the price, but not now.” Meng Tingyue explained word by word.

Xiao Que pressed her forehead to the ground, gratitude and fear filling her heart, “This servant girl is already very grateful that the Crown Princess is willing to help.”

As a servant girl, encountering such a thing, and hearing the Crown Princess’s previous words, she didn’t believe that the Crown Princess would be willing to turn against her own close uncle for her.

However, the Crown Princess was willing to do this for her. Xiao Que’s eyes couldn’t help but become moist, and gratitude surged like a tide.

Meng Tingyue slowly lowered her eyes and looked at her.

“This Palace now gives you two choices: do you want to stay in Listening to the Rain Pavilion to serve This Palace, or will This Palace give you a large sum of silver, cancel your slave status, and set you free?”

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Que said sincerely, “Please let this servant girl leave the mansion.”

Meng Tingyue gently turned her head, her gaze soft as it fell on Yan Hong, “Leave this matter to you to properly arrange.”

“Yes.” Yan Hong responded.

Xiao Que kowtowed again, her forehead lightly touching the cold ground, and after a few soft sounds, she slowly walked out of the room with Yan Hong.

Meng Tingyue then turned to Qingdian, her words full of concern: “How is Qinglan injured?”

Qingdian gently pursed her lips, a hint of helplessness and worry in her brows, “The injury is not serious, but the knot in her heart, I don’t know when it will truly be untied.”

Meng Tingyue slowly walked back to the desk, gracefully sat down, her movements neither hurried nor slow, “When her emotions are a little more stable, let her meet Xiao Que, maybe it can help.”

Qingdian instantly understood, “Yes.”

“The Crown Princess previously ordered this servant girl to investigate the Chen Family matter, and this servant girl has some clues.”

“Two years ago, there was indeed a family whose house caught fire in Shang Chen Village, and the entire family perished in the fire, and the government’s handling of the case was rather perfunctory, hastily concluding it as an unfortunate accident.”

Meng Tingyue’s delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, “Are there any other discoveries?”

“About a year ago, a man, who seemed to be a relative of the deceased family in that fire, came to look for relatives, but failed to find them, so he went around the village looking for information.”

“This servant girl has ordered someone to bring Erquan’s portrait to the villagers for identification, and it is indeed Erquan.”
