Chapter 74 Something's happened, I don't want to go back!
Chapter 74 Something's happened, I don't want to go back!
Su Mowan was stunned.
What's the difference between Murong Jing's experience visiting a brothel and that of a eunuch visiting a brothel?
Instead of wasting money, why not use it to build her a house!
Su Mowan walked towards Qinghe, who was waiting in the side hall, her expression not very pleasant. Even Qinghe noticed something was wrong.
"Why did you come out?"
In the past, Qinghe would rest in the side hall and wait for her to come out the next morning. This time, she came out as soon as she went in, no wonder Qinghe was surprised.
Su Mowan waved to her and then walked outside.
"Let's go, your prince has gone off to be with a harem of women."
Qinghe stared in shock, her eyes wide. "W-what did you say?!"
"They said they went to the Wan Hua Lou."
Su Mowan was a little annoyed, so she casually plucked a leaf that was hanging above her head.
She grumbled unhappily, "You should have told me earlier! What a waste of a trip! So many birds are waiting for me to paint them!"
When they passed through the fourth courtyard again, Shen Muyue and her two servants were no longer there. Su Mowan snorted heavily through her nose.
"What's wrong, Consort Su?"
"It's nothing! Like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of pear trees bloom, and even the iron trees are blooming!"
"..."
Qinghe dared not speak.
Because she noticed that Consort Su was a little unhappy this time.
Although she was annoyed, she was glad that there was still a flock of birds to paint. Su Mowan went back and had Qinghe light the oil lamp again. She rolled up her sleeves and began to paint.
Unfortunately, before she could finish drawing even one bird, Granny Wei rushed in and grabbed her, trying to drag her outside.
"Consort Su, hurry! Something has happened to the Prince!"
problem occurs?
Su Mowan grabbed Wei Mama's momentum and said in surprise, "You can get into trouble just by visiting a brothel? People will laugh themselves to death if they hear about this."
If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job!
This time they really messed up!
Su Mowan didn't know whether she should gloat or feel sorry for him.
Granny Wei was so anxious that her face was covered in wrinkles.
"Oh, Consort Su! This is not the time to talk about this. They need your help over there!"
"Alright, I'll help you. This is something that can't be known to outsiders, otherwise I'd be too ashamed to face my fellow villagers."
"..."
Granny Wei pretended not to understand and pulled her towards Fenghua Palace.
The Feng Hua Palace was brightly lit, and sixteen more guards had been added to the outside. These sixteen extra guards looked even more extraordinary than the original sixteen.
Since Qinghe didn't come along, Granny Wei simply followed her into Fenghua Palace.
Su Mowan was heading towards her bedroom when she was pulled back by Granny Wei just as she was about to turn the corner.
"Consort Su, please come this way. The Prince is not in his bedroom!"
Su Mowan was stunned for a moment.
Which way is this? She's never been this way before.
Granny Wei led the way, constantly saying, "Consort Su, this way, watch your step!"
Just as I turned the corner, I saw a house with its lights on.
Su Mowan raised an eyebrow. It seemed that even if Murong Jing was keeping a mistress, no one would know. This place was secluded enough.
The thought was still lingering in his mind when he heard a shrill scream coming from inside the house.
"Ouch! Third brother, go easy on me! It hurts so much!"
Su Mowan stopped in her tracks upon hearing the voice.
Isn't that the Seventh Princess?
When Granny Wei, who was standing to the side, saw her looking over, her eyes flickered.
"Consort Su, to tell you the truth, it was this old servant who took it upon himself to summon you here. Only you can save the Seventh Princess!"
Su Mowan blinked: "What's going on?"
"Is such that……"
Granny Wei leaned closer and whispered, "The Seventh Princess has sneaked out of the palace again, and it's so late at night. I heard she even went to the Wan Hua Brothel to cause trouble! The Prince just caught her and brought her back, and he's furious right now! You must hurry in and save the Seventh Princess!"
Su Mowan coughed awkwardly.
It turned out she was overthinking it; Murong Jing wasn't going out for pleasure, but to capture his own sister.
She quickened her pace and reached the door. Just as she raised her hand to knock, she heard an even more shrill scream from inside.
"Third brother—spare me!"
Startled, Su Mowan withdrew her hand. Wei Mama, looking anxious, gave her a push.
"Consort Su, hurry up!"
Before Su Mowan could react, she stumbled and was pushed through the door, which was then slammed shut behind her by Granny Wei.
The room immediately fell silent.
In an instant, the Seventh Princess cried out in anguish, "Sister-in-law! Third Princess! Help!"
"..."
Su Mowan looked in the direction of the sound.
The Seventh Princess was lying on the edge of the bed, while Murong Jing sat in a wheelchair with a dark expression, only an arm's length away from her.
Murong Jing turned around and looked at her, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Why are you here?"
"I came to see what had happened to the prince after I heard that something had happened to him."
As Su Mowan spoke, she approached, "However, I only just found out that it was the Seventh Princess. Is it a broken bone?"
The Seventh Princess was covered in sweat, with one arm lying flat at her side, and her face was contorted in pain.
"And dislocations."
As Murong Jing spoke, he coldly glanced at the Seventh Princess, who was lying on the bed with a pout.
When the Seventh Princess saw Su Mowan's gaze sweep over her, she immediately cried out with a wronged expression, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you must save me! Third Brother went too far! He wanted to kill me!"
"..."
Su Mowan's mind went blank for a second.
Then, she exclaimed in surprise, "This... was done by your third brother?!"
Murong Jing: "..."
Seeing her third brother's face darken, the seventh princess hurriedly explained, "No, no, no! I mean, my third brother was too rough when he took over for me!"
Su Mowan coughed, avoiding Murong Jing's gaze.
"It'll be fine once it's set, although it will hurt a bit. But this fracture needs to be treated properly. I'm going outside for a bit."
With that, she turned and walked away, followed by the Seventh Princess's wailing: "Sister-in-law, don't go—"
As Su Mowan stepped out of the threshold, she shook her head with amusement. This seventh princess had been talking to her with her nose in her nose earlier, but after being beaten up, she was now calling her "sister-in-law".
Upon arriving at the outer courtyard, Su Mowan saw Granny Wei waiting anxiously outside. She told her that everything was fine and not to worry, and then headed towards the pear tree.
When she found a suitable branch and returned to the house, the Seventh Princess was already groaning weakly.
Murong Jing maintained a cold expression throughout.
Su Mowan took two branches, one long and one short, and walked to the bedside. Without saying a word, she took the Seventh Princess's hand and began to fix it. She tore one side of the gauze into a triangular shape and bandaged it up in no time.
Although her movements weren't exactly gentle, they were nimble. Compared to Murong Jing, the Seventh Princess looked at her with much more affection.
Murong Jing coldly watched her movements from beginning to end, and then suddenly spoke up: "Now that it's done, send it back to the palace."
The Seventh Princess's expression changed.
He then shouted, "I don't want to go back! I'd rather die than go back!"
