The soft and fragrant thighs became Nanny You's old legs, but this was not the saddest thing. What hurt her heart was that Concubine Rong actually said, "The medical skills of Imperial Physician Zhang are recognized by the entire Imperial Hospital. Since he said so, there must be a reason. Just listen and let him treat you. Our Rong family has few descendants, and you are the only one left. Of course, you must vigorously expand the family in the future to comfort your grandfather's spirit in heaven."

Rong Tang felt bitter after hearing this. This was probably a mission that he couldn't accomplish even if he was pricked into a hedgehog.

Nanny You was like a kind old lady, stroking his head like she was coaxing a baby, "Sir, listen to the Queen. The Queen will not harm you."

Rong Tang was left with only despair in his heart.

Concubine Rong sat down on a chair nearby and talked about the trial.

"I've already told the Third Master that you don't have to show up for the trial tomorrow. Just stay home and lie down."

"why?"

He thought he would have to be carried to the court to have a fight with the Jin family, but it turned out that he was not allowed to go.

Nanny You sighed, "Prince, you are still young and don't understand human nature. In this world, things aren't always black and white. No matter how much of a scoundrel Jin Shizhao is, he is still your father. In tomorrow's court hearing, he will surely do his utmost to protect his son. If you confront him in court, it would be like a son suing his father, a truly unfilial act. If there hadn't been an imperial decree to establish a crown prince, ordinary people would have sympathized with you and spoken up for you. But now that you've become the crown prince, the Jin family is in turmoil and at a disadvantage, and you can't step forward. It would be better for you to stay at home and claim to be seriously injured. This would actually avoid the pressure of public opinion."

Rong Tang understood that this was the only way to completely crush the Jin family.

"Too much is as bad as too little. As a junior, you shouldn't push too hard. You're violating the moral code. Now the censors are speaking up for you, purely because the Jin family was careless and didn't cover up their scandal, which brought disgrace upon the official family. If the censors don't impeach them, the people will say that all officials are so filthy. In fact, which official's family doesn't have dirty deeds? They just do it secretly, never revealing anything. You're really pursuing them relentlessly, and that only makes them feel insecure and gang up on you. Tomorrow, you can't really convict Jin Yaoyang. You have to let the other families in the capital see that you have sensible principles and let him go, so that you can win their hearts."

What else could Rong Tang say? He really admired that even an old nanny beside Concubine Rong knew so many ways of being a human being.

"Nephew knows."

Rong Tang was in a low mood, but it wasn't because he couldn't bring down the Jin family. It was probably because he couldn't get rid of the bullying of Doctor Zhang. Others thought that Doctor Zhang was a Bodhisattva who came to save him.

Before Concubine Rong left, Rong Tang asked Chuncao to give her another thousand taels. Concubine Rong's expression was indescribable.

In short, Nanny You was very relieved, "Prince Tang is still on your side, Madam, you will have no worries in your later years."

Fortunately, Rong San came back in time. The internal energy he practiced was stronger than Rong Qi's. He only needed to hold Rong Tang's palm and slowly guide the internal energy into the meridians. Soon the blocked meridians were unblocked, and Rong Tang felt that his lower body belonged to him again.

She gritted her teeth, vowing to find a way to shake off Doctor Zhang's entanglement. At the very least, she would make him give up that ridiculous idea.

At dusk, a group of guests came to the villa. They were villagers from Rongjia Village.

The leader was Rong Dashan, who brought a dozen strong men with him. They said they came to support Rong Tang in the lawsuit. They had no cars or horses, so they had to walk all the way here.

Rong Tang noticed something strange from Rong Dashan's evasive look, so he asked about the equipment.

Rong Dashan was indeed a man of few thoughts, unable to conceal his feelings. He blurted out, "Our equipment was stolen by the father and son of the Yang family in town."

It turned out that Yang Lianye had been following them since the day they went to town to buy these things. After two days of tracking and investigating, he was sure that these untouchables from Rongjia Village were buying winemaking equipment. He took advantage of Rong Dashan and his men going to town to pick up the goods today, and stole the goods, including the ox cart and handcart, and locked them in the backyard of the wine shop.

Rong Dashan felt very guilty. "It's all my fault. Yang Lianye hired some thugs from the town. I was afraid of hurting the villagers, so I ran away without much resistance."

Rong Tang knew that Rong Dashan was honest, or even cowardly, but he was not going to blame him for this matter. Instead, he comforted him, "You did the right thing. Safety is the most important thing."

But that didn't mean he was giving up and giving the things to Yang Lianye. Aren't they just a few thugs? As if no one had them.

What's more, he is now the future crown prince. If he can't deal with Jin Shizhao, how can he not deal with the brother of a concubine?

He looked at Rong San and Rong Si, and they understood.

The villagers felt very cramped when they arrived at the villa. They even brought dry food with them and only asked for a room to stay overnight, nothing else.

Rong Tang would never treat them unfairly, so he asked Chuncao to buy a lot of meat and vegetables to entertain them.

It was another quiet night. Shortly after the city gates were opened at dawn, Rong San and Rong Si came back and reported the results of the battle to Rong Tang.

"Every thug in town had a leg broken. Yang Lianye and his son were tied up and hung at the town entrance overnight. The equipment was stolen back, and over three hundred taels of silver were found in the liquor store, along with Rong An's hidden account book."

"Divide the money among you. It's not easy for everyone. Use it to marry a wife and have a son. Go and have some rest. We probably have to go back to the village in the afternoon."

Someone from Jingzhao Prefecture came to summon Rong Tang to the court. Rong Tang couldn't refuse, so he asked Rong Qi and Rong Wu to represent him, followed by a group of people from Rongjia Village.

People kept reporting back on the trial process, which was basically the same as what Nanny You had said. Jin Shizhao had indeed tried his best to protect Jin Yaoyang, and even mobilized a lot of favors. Many people in the court spoke for Jin Yaoyang, downplaying his crime of hunting him down, saying that it was just a dispute among young men and he had no intention of taking Rong Tang's life.

Many people witnessed the chase and fight in the alley that day, and they also came forward to testify that in the battle between the two sides, Master Rong did not suffer any loss. Instead, Master Jin suffered heavy losses, and most of his men were knocked down.

Nangong Jing concluded in a calm tone, "So what you're saying is that Young Master Jin led over a hundred armed men to attack three unarmed men, one of whom was crippled, and not only did he not win, he was also wounded by over half of them?"

"That's right." The witness answered like this. His family's head had received benefits from Lord Jin, so he had to say this.

Besides, what he saw that day was almost the same, so he was not acting against his conscience.

Nangong Jing looked at Minister Jin with a puzzled expression, "Your son is so weak, why would Lord Jin want him to inherit the title of Earl of Jian'an and lead the army in the future? At this ratio, 50,000 troops against 1,000 enemy soldiers won't win!"

Jin Shizhao's face looked constipated and he was very embarrassed.

Rong Qi's face was filled with sorrow. "Your Excellency, our Master is also seriously injured."

Jin Yaoyang screamed at the side, "It's fake, he's just pretending, he's not hurt at all."

"The accused is quiet. The imperial physician has examined Young Master Rong's injuries and confirmed them. If you continue to talk nonsense, you will be charged with the crime of roaring in court.

Jin Shizhao also stopped him, "Speak less."
