Chapter 52: Scheme
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Young Master Du, don’t worry. The prince said that the people he arranged to take care of you are all experienced. They won’t let you get cooked.”
Lin Suisui couldn’t help but laugh as she comforted Du Yuanruo in a teasing tone, “Besides, your injuries aren’t that serious. You’ll recover in about two more days.”
For the sake of your health, bear with it for the time being!”
With that, Lin Suisui covered her mouth as she left while snickering.
Just as Lin Suisui had promised Du Yuanruo, Pei Qian really didn’t want Du Yuanruo dead. Therefore, although he had separated his followers, he didn’t stop them from approaching Du Yuanruo, although their approach was useless.
On the way back, Lin Suisui happened to see two familiar faces.
She had been busy with the recent epidemic, but now, she remembered that these two followers were the ones she had seen interacting with the two northern barbarians in the mountain.
However, Lin Suisui still remembered Lu Ze’s instructions and didn’t choose to alert the enemy. Instead, she lowered her head and planned to leave directly.
But just because she wanted to leave didn’t mean that others were willing to cooperate.
The two followers came over and stopped her.
“Madam Liu, may I ask about my young master’s condition…”
The follower in the lead was quite polite. He bowed respectfully to Lin Suisui and asked politely, “This makes our travel inconvenient, so please think of another way to remedy the situation!”
They had been scolded for as long as Du Yuanruo had been soaked inside.
Moreover, if there was no solution to this matter, with Du Yuanruo’s temper, the first thing he would do after getting out would be to silence them.
Therefore, the most effective way for them to save themselves now was to quickly release their master from the vat.
“I’m afraid I can’t.”
Lin Suisui shook her head and replied very sincerely, “Your young master is the only patient in the refugee camp who hasn’t recovered yet. As you know, your young master has a noble status. A doctor like me isn’t qualified to treat him!
Therefore, the original plan was to ask you guys to escort Young Master Du back to the capital to find an imperial physician.
However, the conditions are limited now. This place is not only far from the capital, but he also has the plague. If something goes wrong halfway, it would be a serious matter that no one can afford to bear.
Therefore, Mr. Pei thought of this idea to speed up the recovery of your master.
If he stopped taking the medicine at this moment and changed the treatment method, firstly, all the suffering your young master had suffered previously might be in vain. Secondly, he might pass the plague on to others. If your young master came out before recovering, wouldn’t it be bad if the plague was passed on to the people who took care of him?!
Therefore, although Young Master Du will suffer for the time being, it will be very beneficial to his recovery.”
Lin Suisui bowed slightly as she smiled politely. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
Looking at Lin Suisui’s departing figure, although the two servants felt that what she said might not be true, what else could they do?!
After all, if they really insisted on letting their young master out of the water vat, if anything happened…
If they fell into Du Yuanruo’s hands, they could get a quick death, but if he provoked the sadistic Pei Qian…
The two of them couldn’t help but shiver and shut up.
Lin Suisui ignored the two people behind her. Wanting to go back quickly, she quickened her pace. However, halfway through, she bumped into Lu Ze, who was rushing over.
“Is everything okay?”
After Lu Ze sized Lin Suisui up and saw that she looked fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and frowned in disapproval. “Didn’t I say earlier that if you want to go over, you have to wait for me?!”
“Although Du Yuanruo is boiling in the vat now, his followers haven’t left! What if he acts up and harms you?!”
“I just went over to take a look. If you’re worried, I’ll wait for you to accompany me next time!” Lin Suisui apologized obediently.
She just wanted Lu Ze to go into the mountain to search for prey again and accompany her when he returned. However, encountering the two followers today reminded her that in order to avoid trouble, it was better to stay with him next time.
“By the way, I saw those two followers again when I came back today.” On the way back, Lin Suisui recalled their previous encounter. She reached out and tugged at Lu Ze’s sleeve as she lowered her voice and said to him, “They’re the two I saw in the forest that day.”
Lu Ze stopped and subconsciously turned around. “They caused trouble for you?!”
“No! I just feel that it’s a little strange.” Lin Suisui shook her head and in a low voice, she quickly told him what had happened after interacting with the two followers today, “I feel that these two people don’t look like the two we encountered in the forest previously.
These two people have different figures from the two we encountered in the forest previously!
Moreover, from their submissive appearance, they don’t look like the two people we saw in the forest previously. More importantly, the two of them don’t look like people with profound martial arts skills!”
“If we can disguise ourselves, I’m sure others can too.” Lu Ze didn’t think that this was that strange. Although they had seen them rendezvousing that day, the information it could provide them was actually very limited.
Therefore, they could only take it one step at a time.
“These people are really idle!” Lin Suisui despised these schemes. This place was already thousands of miles away from the capital, but was still used as a battlefield!
Although these refugees had their own shortcomings and were indeed not very outstanding, they were all citizens of the empire. These people’s former hometown had encountered a disaster, so they were heading to the north for a way out!
However, they still couldn’t escape the schemes of those people!
“It doesn’t matter. Since we know, as long as we observe carefully, we will definitely be able to discover evidence! As long as we get even a little evidence, with Pei Qian’s ability, it won’t be difficult for him to find the truth!”
Lu Ze knew very well what Lin Suisui hated the most. He reached out and patted the dejected girl’s shoulder to comfort her.
However, these words didn’t have any effect. Instead, these words made Lin Suisui even more unhappy. “If Pei Qian finds out that the ones who caused all this are actually his subordinates, or rather, the forces behind him?! Wouldn’t he be even more ruthless?!”
