~ I’M AFRAID YOU’RE BLIND ~
After Mu Yunyao revealed the truth about her previous life, the most significant doubt in Yue Wang’s heart was solved, and the two of them felt their hearts had become closer to each other.
Yue Wang held onto Mu Yunyao’s fingers, gently stroking her pink fingertips. “Yao’er, what plans do you have for Jin Wang?” After he understood the reason behind Mu Yunyao’s hatred towards Jin Wang, Yue Wang suddenly became more murderous, who had initially only wanted to suppress Jin Wang.
Mu Yunyao smiled slightly and said, “Fourth Master wouldn’t think I would make a move against Jin Wang in the Palace, right?”
“Jin Wang is still unconscious, so we must use some tricks ….”
“Has Fourth Master gone to pay his respects to the Emperor?”
“After I heard about what happened to Jin Wang, I immediately went to pay my respects to Imperial Father. However, Imperial Father said that he was tired and did not see me.”
“The Emperor didn’t say anything, but his heart was filled with regret. The Emperor had loved him dearly before he committed such wrongdoings. Today, The Emperor ordered him to be imprisoned, which is also a profound responsibility of love. Now that he saw Jin Wang’s left a will with death and still unconscious, he must feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart. If we were to directly kill Jin Wang now, perhaps the Emperor would only remember his previous good deeds and ignore the evils Jin Wang had created. After all, he’s his biological son and connected by flesh and blood. Even the Emperor cannot be exempted from the custom...”
“Indeed, even if Imperial Father wants to uphold justice for the common people, Jin Wang is already over. This price is heavy enough.”
“Therefore, I won’t act in a hurry. Jin Wang used such despicable means to kill me in the past, and he should pay some price now. Furthermore, there are so many Imperial Physicians here. With so many pairs of eyes watching me, even if I were to make a move, I’m afraid I’ll leave behind a flaw.” She would not take Jin WAng’s life in one fell swoop but will completely cut off his future career.
“I believe you know your limits.” Yue Wang stepped forward and gently hugged Mu Yunyao before softly saying, “It’s getting late. I have to rush out of the Palace. I’ll come to visit you another day.”
Mu Yunyao wore a shallow smile on her face. “Alright.”
Yue Wang left the Palace and rushed back to his mansion. Eunuch Cheng rushed over and greeted him, “Your Royal Highness, how is the situation in the Palace?”
“Jin Wang committed suicide to show his sincerity and innocence. Imperial Father placed him in the Palace, so the Imperial Physician could examine and treat him.” As Yue Wang spoke, he quickly walked into the study and took out the portraits that Mu Yunyao had previously painted, “How has Liu Nan been during this period?”
“Reporting to Your Royal Highness, ever since you had ordered everyone to keep an eye on him, the servant has always been on guard. I found that he had secretly contacted the uncle of Jin Wang. He looked a little absent-minded, especially after the two men had an accident. However, these days he returned to normal.”
“Did you have anything about the others?”
“A few days ago, a person called Dong Nie came to seek refuge. He looked exactly the same as the person in the portrait, so we can confirm his identity. However, the current whereabouts of the others are unknown.”
“Capture Liu Nan and Dong Nie. I want to interrogate them personally.”
Eunuch Cheng was a bit surprised. It had been a long time since Wang Ye had taken action himself. “Yes, this servant will go now.”
Yue Wang stepped into the dungeon, and it took nearly an hour before he came out with a bloody aura. When he returned to his room, he took off his clothes and threw them aside: “Take these clothes and burn them.”
“Yes.” Eunuch Cheng hurried forward and accidentally touched the bottom of his shirt when he picked it up. His hand was immediately stained with blood, and he was secretly startled. He had no idea what the two of them had done to make Wang Ye angry.
After Yue Wang finished bathing, he put on his clothes and went to the lotus pond beside the training grounds.
After digging the spring hole, Eunuch Cheng invited people who were good at detecting water veins and studied it for a long time. He tried his best to excavate it, but he didn’t expect to actually find a lotus pond. At this moment, there were green leaves and fields on the water. A few flower buds could occasionally be seen on the water’s surface. The night wind blew, and the water’s surface was filled with microwaves, which shook the lotus flowers and green leaves lightly. It was quiet and elegant, which was very different from the Cold Palace.
After Eunuch Cheng had finished disposing of his clothes, he saw Yue Wang standing by the lotus pond and hurried over with a lantern. “Your Royal Highness, the lotus pond has already been dug. When will you invite Miss Mu to take a look?”
Thinking of Mu Yunyao’s surprised expression after seeing the lotus pond, the murderous aura around Yue Wang’s body gradually faded. A trace of gentleness appeared in his eyes, “In a few more days after. When I finish dealing with the matters in the Palace, I’ll bring Yunyao here.”
The smile on Eunuch Cheng’s face intensified. “Your Royal Highness, this servant wishes to plant more flowers. It would be best if the residence had flowers blooming in all seasons.” Miss Mu likes to admire flowers, so if the residence has flowers to bestow upon her all year round, she will be able to stay here forever. His master was no longer young, so it was time to marry and have children.
When he thought about Mu Yunyao being able to stay by his side all day long, Yue Wang wanted time to become faster and faster so that he could take advantage of the one-year agreement made during the autumn hunt to marry Mu Yunyao into his family and keep her by his side all the time, “Uncle Cheng, find some craftsmen who can fix the garden. It’s fine to prepare in advance by tidying up the entire residence.”
Eunuch Cheng nearly showed his back teeth in laughter when he heard Yue Wang’s hidden intentions. “Alright, this old servant will send someone to find the craftsmen tomorrow. I will clean up the residence until it looks like a fairyland.”
In the Palace, Mu Yunyao and the Imperial Physicians watched over Jin Wang for three consecutive days, and the situation of Jin Wang, who had always been weak, was considered to have eased.
On the fourth day’s evening, Jin Wang moved his fingers and slowly opened his eyes on the bed.
Mu Yunyao checked the prescription that Jin Wang had used in the past few days. These were all to be handed over to the Imperial Hospital for archiving, and not a single flaw could be seen.
The Palace maid at the side was fanning Jin Wang. When she saw him open his eyes, she hurriedly went to Mu Yunyao in surprise and reported, “Princess, His Royal Highness Jin Wang has woken up.”
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked over. Facing Jin Wang’s blank gaze, she couldn’t help but pause slightly for a moment. Why was this person’s gaze …
“His Royal Highness Jin Wang, how do you feel?”
Jin Wang raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. His voice was hoarse as he had not spoken for a long time, “Is it night? Why is there no light in the Palace?”
Mu Yunyao’s heart tightened. She extended a finger and brushed it across Jin Wang, but when she discovered that he had no reaction, she turned around and instructed the Palace maid, “Send someone to report to the Emperor that His Royal Highness Jin Wang has woken up. Also, call the Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Hospital over.”
“Yes.” The Palace maid quickly retreated.
Jin Wang raised his hand in front of his eyes. After a moment of silence, he revealed a pale smile, “Yunyao, are my eyes blind?”
Mu Yunyao stood by the bed and lowered her head to look at Jin Wang. His face was pale, and that worn smile bloomed on his handsome face, which made people unable to stop feeling a lot of heartache from the bottom of their hearts. “We still need to invite the Imperial Physicians for a diagnosis. But it’s daytime now, and His Royal Highness can’t see anything, so I’m afraid your eyes are blind.”

I was thinking that after a near-death accident he would recover memories from his past life. As wicked as he was in his past life, its hard for me to hate him in this one for things he hasn't done yet (though he did cause a terrible flood that killed many, so he is far from innocent). If he had his memories it would take away Mu Yunyao's advantage, but it would also make her eventual revenge against him my justified in my mind (I know most Chinese stories are quite ruthless with revenge though and don't see a difference).
ReplyDeleteI suspect the blindness could be an act to gather sympathy from the Emperor and have his sins forgiven. Either he is a really good actor, or maybe he was able to take medicine that temporarily blinds him?
Mighty convenient timing there. 😑
ReplyDeleteIf the blindness is permanent, that will disqualify him from being able to inherit the throne. Because they're supposed to be the son of the dragon, they can't have any physical disabilities.
ReplyDeleteI call fake blindness.. that's just too convenient..
