After knowing that Kong Xunqi had returned, Kong Fangzhou, the eldest son of the Kong family, who had been waiting for news at home, quickly came out of the medical center. He was shocked by his father’s despondent expression and quickly came over to ask, “Father, did something happen?”

“It’s nothing serious.” Kong Xunqi placed his hands behind his back and turned to look at his eldest son. Then, he told him what had happened in the medical association today before saying, “Tell everyone in our medical center to be more alert recently. Don’t cause trouble for us at this juncture again!

“Also, tell our other relatives to be careful not to cause trouble. If anyone causes trouble for me at this time, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Kong Fangzhou’s heart skipped a beat, but he didn’t dare to retort. He quickly lowered his head as he agreed. Then, he followed Kong Xunqi up the stairs and escorted him into the private room where he usually rested. As he brewed tea for his father, he asked, “Then, did the Sun family say anything?”

“What can he possibly say? I just paved the way for him in advance. He’ll thank me later. How can he blame me?” Kong Xunqi sat down and snorted disdainfully. “You don’t know Sun Yunzhong’s ability. It’s fine for him to play tricks, but if it’s really a competition of medical skills, he’s at most second-rate in the northern region’s medical association.”

Although Kong Xunqi sounded relaxed, he didn’t look relaxed at all.

This time, the trouble was much greater than he had imagined. He had to think about how to escape unscathed from this mess.

Even if he couldn’t retreat unscathed, he had to at least cut his losses.

… .

Lin Suisui only found out from Lu Ze that Kong Xunqi had gone to see the Fourth Prince tonight.

She couldn’t help but widen her eyes and look at Lu Ze in shock. “No way. He just returned from our medical center in the afternoon. He went to look for the Fourth Prince so quickly?”

“As expected of the person who revived the Kong family’s medical center from the verge of bankruptcy. His shrewdness is really rare.” Lu Ze smiled as he told Lin Suisui about Kong Xunqi’s plan. “Actually, he already sensed it from the moment we arrived at Cloud Mountain City and attacked the general’s residence.”

While the other families were still accumulating wealth in a frenzy without knowing about the danger, he had already cut off all shady dealings related to the Kong family’s medical center.

As for those shady businesses, he quickly closed them all. Even if a few of them ended up losing money, he didn’t hesitate at all.

As for those relatives who relied on the Kong family for a living, they had also been instructed by him to lie low since the new year.

He began to work hard to pull strings everywhere, but after encountering many obstacles, he thought of this last resort.

In the northern region, there was no one more powerful than the Fourth Prince.

The reason he could seek an audience with the Fourth Prince was actually because of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry. He had spent a lot of money to find out that the Fourth Prince had a hidden illness.

He probably wants to use this to attract the Fourth Prince’s attention!”

“Did he get to see the Fourth Prince?” Lin Suisui couldn’t help but be curious.

She wasn’t interested in whether Kong Xunqi could cure the Fourth Prince, but she was curious about what excuse Kong Xunqi used to get the Fourth Prince to see him.

He couldn’t possibly directly say that he had a way to treat the Fourth Prince’s hidden illness!

Wouldn’t that be equivalent to telling the world that the Fourth Prince was incompetent?!

Besides, how was he going to mention treating the hidden illness when he saw the Fourth Prince?

If he spoke that bluntly, he probably would have been killed by the Fourth Prince in the next moment…

“Of course not.” Lu Ze glanced at Lin Suisui and held back his laughter as he said, “The Fourth Prince is busy refining pills with the immortal master. How can he have the time to care about him?”

Sometimes, Lu Ze really didn’t know if the Fourth Prince was lucky or unlucky to have a cousin like Pei Qian.

If not for Pei Qian’s help, the Fourth Prince and his useless mother probably wouldn’t have been able to compete with the Third Prince, who was from the Consort’s faction.

But in terms of luck…

Pei Qian had dug this series of traps for him.

Now, not only didn’t the Fourth Prince notice that something was wrong, but he also valued Pei Qian even more…

He was being played for a fool by Pei Qian.

“That’s strange.” Lin Suisui touched her chin as she muttered in confusion, “With Kong Xunqi’s intelligence, he should have guessed that the Fourth Prince wouldn’t see him. But even so, he still went over.

Therefore, the person he really wanted to see wasn’t the Fourth Prince.”

Lin Sui’s conclusion was very sudden, surprising Lu Ze, who had already walked to her side. He stared at Lin Suisui for a long time before nodding and replying softly, “Yes, he actually went to see Princess Ning Fu.”

Princess Ning Fu was probably the most low-key person in the entire Duke Huai Yang’s ministry.

Ever since what happened at the banquet previously, the Fourth Prince had lost his temper at Princess Ning Fu. Almost every time she went to see the Fourth Prince, Princess Ning Fu would be scolded or even beaten up.

The Fourth Prince didn’t have so many scruples in private and beat women ruthlessly.

Therefore, after suffering a few consecutive beatings, Princess Ning Fu didn’t dare to approach the Fourth Prince anymore, nor did she dare to show any dissatisfaction. She hid in her grandmother’s courtyard and didn’t appear in public unless she had no choice.

She had no other choice but to stay away from the Fourth Prince.

Kong Xunqi had gone to Duke Huai Yang’s ministry under the ruse of taking the old consort’s pulse. After all, the Kong family’s medical center had always had some dealings with Duke Huai Yang’s ministry, so this trip wasn’t out of the ordinary.

Even though he was mentally prepared, after seeing the old consort and Princess Ning Fu, Kong Xunqi was still shocked by the two people in front of him and he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Why are you two so thin?”

Princess Ning Fu, in particular, was so thin that she looked like skin and bones, as if even a mere gust of wind could blow her away!
