Chapter 522
When Prince Jin found out that his wife was leaving, he frowned for a long time.
"Your highness, that wicked woman has an unstable personality. She suddenly came over on her way to Jiangnan with doubts. It's better for her to leave now, lest she do something unfavorable to her master in the future.
" Prince Jin frowned. Although he didn't have a good impression of that wicked woman, who had ruined her appearance and acted strangely, she suddenly left and went with Mu Yunyao, causing him to be extremely concerned about her,
"Let's have some people pay more attention to her. Although I don't know what kind of abilities she has, I think she isn't that kind of person.
"
"Yes.
"
For the next few days, the skies were still considered beautiful. Other than the two drizzles of rain, the rest of the journey had proceeded smoothly as Qi Yun led his men to survey the river courses and plan the riverbanks.
Mu Yunyao flipped through the account books of the Nebula Market and the Not Envy Pavilion and couldn't help but sigh. After this battle, she had spent most of her silver taels and had to find a way to earn more silver.
On the other side of the imperial palace, the imperial concubine was kneeling in front of the emperor's study. Her delicate body was thin, and her body did not even have the slightest bit of jewelry.
"Your majesty, please be merciful.
"
Xu Li gently placed the teacup by the Emperor's side and bowed, not daring to make a sound.
The emperor took a sip of tea. It was not the Lotus Time Fragrance that he liked to drink.
"Is the Lotus Time Fragrance gone?
"
"Reporting to your majesty, the Herbal Tea Dew that was sent to the palace was personally picked, dried, and stir-fried by Princess Wen Xian. This year, the princess was far away in Jiangnan to provide relief, so the new tea hasn't been delivered yet.
"
The Emperor placed the teacup by his side, picked up the red ink brush and continued to read the imperial reports. After a long while, he said,
"Get someone to take Imperial Consort Zhen back to the palace. Let her copy some Buddhist scriptures and do not forget the imperial concubines' rules.
"
"Yes.
"
As Xu Li walked out of the hall, the imperial concubine hurriedly raised her head and looked over,
"Eunuch Xu, is the emperor willing to see me now?
" When she found out that her kin had been exposed for their crimes, she hurriedly went to the palace to take off her hairpin and beg for forgiveness. However, the Emperor did not show the slightest trace of pity, as if he was acting out of the ordinary.
Xu Li stepped forward and bowed.
"Imperial Concubine Zhen, the emperor has decreed that you return to the palace to write down Buddhist scriptures. Think about the rules you should follow as imperial concubine of the imperial harem.
"
Just a few days ago, someone suddenly brought up the matter of her mother's brothers seizing property, forcibly seizing civilian girls, and even beating up dead people in front of the emperor. Afterwards, Imperial Concubine Li suddenly launched an attack in the imperial harem, revealing that she was secretly bewitching Honorable Zhou and allowing Honorable Zhou to have an affair with the imperial guards.
The emperor was furious on the spot. Even though she had tried to prove her innocence afterwards, it still made him unhappy. In addition, the matter of her parents and brothers had already been strictly investigated by the Ministry of Justice. If she didn't plead for mercy now, her family might not be able to survive.
The corners of Xu Li's lips curved up in a cold smile.
"Grand Concubine, don't make things difficult for this servant. Who would dare disobey the emperor's dictum?
" Please go back.
" He turned back to the study room.
Because of her lowly birth, she supported her family and brothers to greatly develop. She didn't expect that she would lose all of her family members the moment she showed any signs of improvement.
The Ministry of Justice was the King's territory to begin with. Now that they had the chance to handle the cases of the family members of the consort, their speed was naturally very fast. In just five or six days, they had already sent the closed case file to the Emperor. By the time Prince Jin, who was far away in Riverside City, received the news, he had already been exiled.
After hearing that he had been dispirited for a few days, he tidied himself up and went to see the Jin Emperor.
He didn't know what had happened to Prince Jin's arm, but the wound had been lingering for a long time and had finally healed. When he heard about the news in the capital, he was so angry that he threw a cup of tea and accidentally caused the wound to split open.
"When the king arrived, the imperial physician had just bandaged Prince Jin's arm.
"
"Third brother's injury must have been for at least a dozen days. Why is he still bleeding?
" His third brother loved to show off his skills. Previously, when he was patrolling the riverbank, he even went into the water to save people. It was all for the sake of gaining a good reputation.
His mother's home had been plundered. By the time he returned to the capital, Prince Jin would probably lose all face.
Prince Jin's arm twitched. It was unknown if it was because he was in pain or because he was angry, but his face turned pale and he said,
"Thank you for your concern, big brother.
" King Jin was clearly angered to the point of death, but he still pretended to be refined and elegant, feeling extremely displeased in his heart.
"Third brother is well and well, there's no need to worry about Lady Jinfei. Now that she's sick because of her own family, it makes royal father very upset.
"
Yue, but my mufei and her sisters have been together for so many years, they will definitely take good care of her.
"
Prince Jin raised his head, his eyes cold.
"When I return to the capital, I will definitely thank Imperial Concubine Li well.
" There must be something behind this! Wang Dong naturally heard the threat in his tone, but he was not the least bit bothered by it.
"Then brother, please wait properly. You should recover from your injuries. I hope that your injuries will recover before we return to the capital.
" One could gain a good reputation by being injured for the sake of the common people, but if this injury was never good …
After the King had left, Prince Jin slammed his teacup angrily. The wound on his arm was torn, and blood flowed out.
"Go get the imperial physician. It's just a wound. Why is it not healing?
"
"Yes.
" The imperial physicians complained incessantly. The wounds on Prince Jin's hand were indeed not too serious, and had caused more blood to flow from the wounds. But more than ten days had passed, and the deeper the wounds were already starting to heal, the worse the wounds would be. Furthermore, they had suspected that the wounds on his body might not be able to heal at all.
Whether someone had poisoned him or not, after some investigation, he was unable to find any traces of poison. The imperial physicians had no choice but to tactfully advise Prince Jin,
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, this official and others' medical skills are shallow, why don't you ask Princess Wen Xian to have a look? Her medical skills have reached perfection, and the pills she made previously to treat the plague are extremely effective.
"Be quick about it.
"
"Got it, thank you Imperial Physician.
"
Mu Yunyao was in the middle of picking medicinal materials and was about to rush out another batch of medicinal pills.
The Poison Matriarch was lying on her soft couch, waving a fan in her hand as she tossed a sparkling red stick after another into her mouth.
When Si Qin walked in and saw this scene, she secretly curled her lips. The young miss was especially indulgent towards this wicked woman, and no matter what she did, she would still comply. It was really hard for people to understand,
"Young miss, His Highness the Prince of Jin sent someone to accompany him, he wanted you to help him look at the wound on his arm.
"
Mu Yunyao's finger paused for a moment before she smiled slightly.
"Got it. Tell him that I'll be there after I pack up my things.
"
"Yes, miss.
" After Si Qin left, the woman sat up on the soft couch.
"If you go and help Prince Jin recover, will he be able to recover in this lifetime?
