Chapter 373
~ MU YUNYAO IN MAID’S OUTFIT ~
“If he dares to act like this, then Imperial Elder Sister will take care of him for you.” Besides, that child is still worried about you, or else he wouldn’t have come back every year just for your birthday.”
The Emperor thought about it and could not help but nod. “Indeed, that child is filial. However, this time, we have to let him suffer a little. He was clearly framed, but e has to accompany a few of his Imperial Brothers to receive a beating.”
The Grand Princess Yi De smiled. “Didn’t the Emperor already instruct those imperial guards to take action? The force of impact on the four of them is different, right?”
“Of course. This is to teach Thrid Son a lesson, to let him know what to do and what not to do. However, he can’t ruin his entire future just because of one mistake. This can only be used to make him remember, and he won’t dare to commit another offense.”
The Grand Princess Yi De’s eyes moved slightly. “The pain of the flesh can only be remembered for a moment. Once the wounds healed, the scars will fade, and he couldn’t recall any of them. If Imperial Brother really wants to teach Third Prince a lesson and prevent him from taking the wrong path, he still has to find another way from the root.”
“What does Imperial Elder Sister mean?”
“I don’t have any good ideas. I just want to ay something like this. It will still be up to Imperial Brother to decide what to do.”
The Emperor couldn’t help but ponder. Indeed, the pain in their flesh was over, and if he didn’t let them call an imperial physician today, there would still be plenty of people by their side to attend to them. Within a few days, their wounds would be healed. What can really make them feel pain should be when taking away their power.
Right now, they were competing for power and connections, right? Since that was the case, then he might as well start from these two points of view and let them know that there were some things they could not do!
When Jin Wang returned to his tent, a maid welcomed him immediately. She hurried to clean up the wound and applied the medicine to it. Jin Wang sat on the chair, violently overturned the medicine bottle on the table to the ground, and shouted in a low voice, “Get out!”
The maidservants did not dare to refute her words. They hurriedly knelt down and saluted, then quickly walked out of the tent.
Jin Wang’s expression was slightly distorted. It took a long while before he regained his usual calm demeanor, “Imperial Father was after all, Imperial Father. I thought that I was flawless, but in reality, I was thoroughly investigated by him in a short period of time.” This punishment was a lesson to him. He would never be as reckless as he was today …
Yue Wang’s tent was a little further away, and Yu Wang stretched out his hand to stopped him. He bared his teeth and said: “Fourth Brother, you better not listen to Imperial Father’s words foolishly. You don’t ask for an imperial physician, and you’ll obediently do nothing. The imperial physician helped his Imperial Father study the prescriptions. However, all of the apprentices brought by the imperial physician were idle, and it’s not a problem to treat the wounds on our back. If it’s not success, then I can call a few doctors or medical women and leave the wounds on my back unattended.”
Yue Wang nodded his head: “Second Imperial Brother, quickly go back and apply the medicine. Don’t worry about me. I know what to do.”
“Alright, then you go slower when you go back.”
When Yue Wang arrived at the entrance of his own tent, just as he was about to push open the door and enter, he sensed someone in the shadows at the side. He stopped abruptly, “Who is it?”
A small maidservant with a slender figure walked over. Her head was bowed, making it difficult to see her face. She went forward to greet Yue Wang.
Yue Wang’s eyes suddenly trembled, and a warm feeling flowed through his body: “Get up. I just happened to be injured. Come in and help me treat my wounds.”
Entering the tent, Yu Heng quickly brought over the medicine box. “My Lord, this subordinate will apply the medicine for you, this young maid is … Ah, Mu …” When he studied of the maidservant that had raised her head, Yu Heng almost cried out in alarm, and he immediately covered his mouth with his hand. Miss Mu?
Mu Yunyao took off the hat on her head. Her soft long hair was folded into a braid and quietly hung by her side. Without the silky pearl hairpin from before, it made her face look even more delicate. “I’ll help Fourth Master deal with his wounds. I’ll have to trouble you to help guard the entrance of the tent.”
“Yes.” Yu Heng hurriedly tactfully left.
Seeing the blood-soaked clothes behind Yue Wang, Mu Yunyao frowned and angrily said, “Your Majesty is too ruthless.”
“Imperial Father had already made people restrain their strength, which means that although it appears to be serious, it is actually just some superficial wounds. As for the Third Prince, I’m afraid that he will have to lie in bed for a few days to recuperate.”
“Does the Emperor plan on using such a method to punish Jin Wang?” The accusation of falsely accusing Yue Wang kill Meng Handong was not a small crime. If there were no evidence to dispel the suspicion in the end, then Yue Wang would be at a disadvantage and suffer a heavy loss.
“Imperial Father should have other methods. Even if he didn’t think of it, Imperial Aunt would have warned him.”
“Grand Princess Yi De?”
“That’s right.” Yue Wang turned his head to look at Mu Yunyao and his body slanted along with her.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly reached out her hand to press it against his shoulder, allowing him to sit upright. “Don’t move. I’ll help you clean the bloodstains first before I applied the medicine.”
Yue Wang felt a cold hand on his shoulder. The strength in his shoulder was as though it was touched by a cat’s soft claws. Thus, his heart couldn’t help but shrank, showing a hint of numbness. “All these years, even though Imperial Aunt is not in the Capital, she is still very clear about what has happened in the Imperial Court.
When she returned to the Capital this time, she picked out a girl to sign under her lost daughter’s name. On the other hand, we can saw the first signs of a struggle between princes in the Capital. ”
Mu Yunyao’s finger paused slightly. “It turns out that this is the case. I thought that Grand Princess Yi De really didn’t want to bother with these mundane matters.”
Yue Wang said with emotion, “If it were not for me, perhaps Imperial Aunt really would not have gotten involved in all this ruckus in the Capital. Speaking of which, I feel quite ashamed in my heart.”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes couldn’t help but slightly widen as a bright light flashed through her mind. She made a bold guess in her heart. Could it be that Grand Princess Yi De supported Yue Wang to fight for the throne? Thinking of this, she quickly pursed her lips and didn’t continue to speak.
Yue Wang could not help but turn his head back to look at her, his eyes filled with laughter. “Have you guessed something?”
Mu Yunyao nodded, “I did think of something, but I don’t know if I guessed it right?”
“Tell me about it.”
“Forget it. There are some things that are not suitable for me to say now. If I guess wrong, aren’t you going to make a fool out of me?”
Yue Wang couldn’t help but trace Mu Yunyao’s eyebrows with his eyes. Under the candlelight, she slightly lowered her head, the light in her eyes especially gentle and exquisite. It was as if people’s hearts were filled with cotton that had baked with sugar, sweet and soft, which made people feel at a loss and can’t help indulging in it.
Mu Yunyao chatted with Yue Wang as she quickly moved to treat the wound on his back, “Fourth Master has to be careful of your body. It has only been a short time, and you have already been injured many times. If you don’t pay attention now, you will suffer in the future.”
“Alright. I’ll listen to you.” Yue Wang nodded his head obediently. At this time, no matter what Mu Yunyao said, he was willing to agree to it.
