Princess Pingyang deliberately put on a stern face.
"How is it healed already? Be careful or Mother will punish you."
Duoduo held Princess Pingyang's hand and tugged at the bandage.
"Mother, I'm not lying, it's really healed!"
Princess Pingyang saw that yesterday's gauze was already crooked, exposing the flesh inside.
"Why is this gauze loose? Let Mother re-bandage it for you."
Princess Pingyang unwrapped the gauze layer by layer until the last layer fell off.
Just as Princess Pingyang was about to get out of bed to fetch clean gauze, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye.
She sat back down, pulled Duoduo's back toward her, and looked closely.
Princess Pingyang could hardly believe her eyes.
Duoduo's back was incredibly smooth, without any trace of an injury.
Duoduo was very proud. She turned her head to look at Princess Pingyang.
"Mother, Duoduo didn't lie! Is it all healed?"
Princess Pingyang nodded as if in a dream.
"It is healed, it really is."
Duoduo nodded happily, "Duoduo didn't lie!"
Princess Pingyang put Duoduo's clothes back on, still in disbelief.
"Are the medical skills of the doctor this time really that good?"
Duoduo covered her mouth, looking at her mother and giggling.
After Princess Pingyang helped Duoduo wash up, she took her to the study.
She planned to tell Prince Pingyang about Duoduo's healed wound.
When they arrived, Prince Pingyang was listening to Ling Feng report the news.
Princess Pingyang pulled Duoduo and sat down to the side.
"Last night, the Third Prince's men arrived first."
"They hijacked the carriage of the Song Manor, but the old madam of the Song Manor and the eldest miss of the Song family were not in the carriage."
"According to the driver, Song Shuyu suddenly had a stomachache, and the old madam took her to find a doctor."
"By the time the Third Prince's men rushed to the doctor, they ran into the Fourth Prince's men."
Duoduo opened her big eyes and listened carefully to Ling Feng.
She understood that Ling Feng was talking about her twin sister, Song Shuyu, and her grandmother.
"At that time, the Third Prince's men and the Fourth Prince's men started fighting."
"And the Fifth Prince's men took the opportunity to snatch Song Shuyu away."
"However, they encountered the Sixth Prince's men halfway."
Duoduo listened, completely engrossed.
Prince Pingyang turned the jade thumb ring on his hand.
"And then? Who won?"
Ling Feng seemed to hesitate for a moment.
"No one won."
"Because Song Shuyu ran away by herself."
"Ran away?" Prince Pingyang was a little surprised.
"Yes, because the scene was too chaotic at the time, everyone's attention was focused on dealing with each other."
"By the time the winners came to their senses, they realized that Song Shuyu had escaped."
"They searched the vicinity thoroughly but couldn't find her."
Prince Pingyang turned his jade ring and asked after a while.
"Our men didn't see her either?"
Ling Feng smiled.
"Our men saw her and immediately followed Song Shuyu."
"They saw her fall into a dry well, so they disguised the top and hid her."
Prince Pingyang glanced sideways at Ling Feng, and Ling Feng immediately restrained his smile.
"Your Highness, what should we do next? Should Song Shuyu be brought back, or..."
Ling Feng made a gesture across his neck with his hand.
Prince Pingyang remained silent, seemingly in thought.
"What about the Second Prince? Is he still making no move?"
Ling Feng shook his head.
"That's what puzzles your subordinate. The commotion last night was so big, it's impossible that the Second Prince's men didn't receive the news."
"But from beginning to end, the Second Prince's men never showed up."
Prince Pingyang's hand, which was turning the jade ring, stopped.
"Have someone leak Song Shuyu's whereabouts to the Third Prince."
The Third Prince's mother was Consort Shu, who was the Emperor's childhood sweetheart.
However, her maiden family was not as prominent as that of Noble Consort Li.
Moreover, she gave birth an hour later than Noble Consort Li, causing the Third Prince to always rank behind the Second Prince.
If it were based on the order of birth, the Second Prince had a better chance than the Third Prince.
This was also what the Third Prince was very unwilling to accept.
"But Old Madam Song is in the hands of the Fifth Prince," Ling Feng quickly said.
The Fifth Prince was Consort Xian's child, and his maternal family was the Minister of Personnel.
"Wait until the Third Prince rescues Song Shuyu, then release the news," Prince Pingyang said casually.
"Yes."
"Have our men pretend to search for Song Shuyu's whereabouts and make some noise on the edge of the Second Prince's territory!"
"Yes, your subordinate will do it immediately!"
Ling Feng walked out.
Prince Pingyang stroked the jade ring and didn't speak for a long time.
"Your Highness, let's have breakfast."
Princess Pingyang felt a little heartache that Prince Pingyang was dealing with matters so early in the morning.
"Mm."
Prince Pingyang let go of his hand and pushed his wheelchair.
Duoduo obediently walked over and helped him push.
The three of them came to the dining hall, where the servants had already set up breakfast.
In front of Duoduo was still a bowl of blood-nourishing medicinal diet.
Duoduo frowned. Thinking of what Prince Pingyang had just said, she suppressed her reluctance, picked up the spoon, and took small sips.
Although she didn't quite understand what Prince Pingyang had just said.
But she understood that Song Shuyu's life didn't seem to be going very well.
Thinking of this, Duoduo drank the entire bowl of blood-nourishing medicinal soup in a very good mood.
After breakfast, Duoduo took leave of Prince Pingyang and the Princess, and went to Nanny Li's place.
When Pangya saw her coming, her attitude was much more respectful, but her eyes were still full of disdain.
Pangya felt that Duoduo must have used some tricks for the Prince and Princess to recognize her as their adopted daughter.
Pangya looked down on Duoduo.
Duoduo didn't notice Pangya's expression. Under Nanny Li's guidance, she began today's training.
Because of yesterday's foundation, Duoduo was already very adaptable to Nanny Li's training today.
Since Duoduo was young, Nanny Li didn't dare to be too harsh.
Therefore, when Duoduo completed her tasks, Nanny Li let her rest for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
Duoduo wanted to find Lüdou, so she ran happily towards the kitchen.
At this moment, it was resting time for the kitchen.
Duoduo ran to the room where Lüdou slept and found that Lüdou was not in the room.
Duoduo was very puzzled. She thought about it and ran to the kitchen again.
Beside the flowerbed outside the main kitchen, Duoduo saw Lüdou.
Lüdou was leaning over a chair, writing something unknown.
Duoduo rolled her eyes playfully and tiptoed over.
She wanted to quietly give Lüdou a scare.
"Boo!"
Duoduo jumped behind Lüdou, and Lüdou trembled in fright, falling to the ground on her bottom.
Duoduo went forward very apologetically and helped Lüdou up.
"Lüdou, it's me!"
Lüdou turned her head and saw Duoduo, revealing a smile.
"Duoduo, why are you here?"
"Oh right, I heard you were injured. Where are you hurt? Let me see."
Because the masters ordered the kitchen to make a bowl of blood-nourishing soup for Duoduo every meal, Lüdou was extremely worried when she found out.
Duoduo waved her hand.
"I'm already healed. By the way, Lüdou, what are you doing?"
Duoduo leaned over to look and saw a book that had been burnt black.
