~ TO RELY ON MU YUNYAO ~
Jin Wang gripped his numb legs tightly as the anger and remorse in his heart surged.
Seeing that he had remained silent, Imperial Concubine Zhen’s expression turned even uglier. She couldn’t help but ask again, “Junjin, are you sure it was Mu Yunyao who did something to you?”
Jin Wang shook his head. “People of Imperial Concubine Li and the Eldest Imperial Brother are among the imperial physicians. I can confirm that the current situation is odd, but I don’t know who did it.”
“The matters at the Imperial Palace have never been simple. Apart from Imperial Concubine Li, Ling Wang, and Mu Yunyao, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that someone else has secretly done something.”
Imperial Concubine Zhen felt very flustered. “Junjin, with your current situation... have you decided what to do next?” Without eyes and legs, Jin Wang had no hope for the rest of his life. What about her? What should she do?
Ning Junjin forcefully thumped his legs, his face showing a trace of insanity. He was so proud before, but he is now regretful and hopeless.
Imperial Concubine Zhen burst into tears beside him: “Junjin, calm down. You might have a turning point...”
After a long while, Jin Wang raised his head and took a few deep breaths to calm himself. The crazed look on his face slowly disappeared as he returned to his usual gentle expression: “Mother, my two uncles have been convicted, and we are powerless to save them. Right now, in the entire Imperial Harem, only you will help me sincerely. We, mother and son, are dependent on each other.”
Imperial Concubine Zhen nodded quickly. “You say, as long as Mother can do it, I will spare no effort to help you.”
“Help me find some poison.”
“Junjin, you... Who are you going to deal with?”
“No, I’ll take it myself.” Jin Wang’s voice was cold.
Imperial Concubine Zhen was taken aback: “Are you crazy?”
“Mother, my current predicament is one in which my survival is impossible. It’s game over if I don’t take any risks. Imperial Father still feels remorseful about me now. He’ll be furious if he finds out that someone secretly wants to kill me. But when I recover, I’ll have to move out of the Imperial Palace and back to my residence. If someone else were to make a move secretly upon returning to my residence, given my current blind and immobile state, I would have no chance to resist at all.”
Imperial Concubine Zhen raised her hand to wipe away her tears. “Okay, okay, Mother knows. I will find someone to choose some poison secretly.” “Un, Mother has to be secretive and not let anyone find out about it. The dose of poison must be controlled well and not be too light, but it is not lethal either. Therefore, Imperial Father won’t be too angry about the dosage of the poison. Of course, it cannot be too hefty. Otherwise, I will die for certain. Mother, I’m putting all my life on you now. Thus, you must help me.”
“Alright, but what about after you consume the poison? Even if the dosage is decreased, it will still cause harm to your health if you do not treat it promptly. What are your plans after using the poison this time? You have to know that even if the Emperor sent Imperial Physicians to guard you at all times, there are still some methods you couldn’t defend yourself against.”
“Mother, don’t worry. I’ve already thought about it. I’ll look for Mu Yunyao.”
“Looking for her? Didn’t you suspect her before?”
“Her medical skill is so excellent that she can’t even compare with those Imperial Physicians. Moreover, she is the granddaughter of Grand Princess Yi De, so according to seniority, she has to call me Third Imperial Uncle. In Imperial Father’s eyes, she is the one most unlikely to harm me. Thus, I will think of a way to get Imperial Father to agree to let her take care of me. Even if it’s due to Imperial Father’s orders, she would still try to protect me thoroughly.”
Imperial Concubine Zhen felt that this was a bit inappropriate. After all, Grand Princess Yi De, the backer of Mu Yunyao, was not easy to fool, but she couldn’t think of a better method, so she could only nod and agree for the time being, “Alright, I’ll immediately send someone to do it. Junjin, you should rest well and recuperate your body. It’s hard to say when you will get better.”
A dark cloud rose in Jin Wang’s heart: “Got it.”
Mu Yunyao returned to Yuhua Palace and accompanied her mother and grandmother to finish the meal. After that, she sat to the side and quietly chatted.
Xu Yanhan didn’t have a good impression of Jin Wang. After hearing Mu Yunyao say that his eyes couldn’t see and his legs couldn’t move, she couldn’t help but feel relieved in her heart. “Yao’er, is there any way to treat Jin Wang’s current condition? It would be best if there were no cure to avoid harming others in the future.”
Mu Yunyao smiled slightly and said, “There should be a way. I have read in medical textbooks that the nine-pulse golden needle technique could remove blood clots. There is also precedent for restoring a person’s eyesight. However, my medical skills are shallow, and I can only watch from the side, unable to help.”
Grand Princess Yi De spoke up. “Earlier, Jin Xian, the head of the Imperial Hospital, had a golden needle in his hand that could bring him to perfection. Unfortunately, his luck was bad. During the fight between Imperial Concubine Zhen and Imperial Concubine Li, he was framed and lost his hands. If he was fine, he might have been able to cure Jin Wang.”
Mu Yunyao was stunned, as she didn’t think there would be such a situation. “Such a coincidence?”
“That’s right,” Grand Princess Yi De said as she turned to face Qu Mama. “Tell this news to Imperial Concubine Li later.”
“Yes!” Qu Mama quickly responded. As long as Imperial Concubine Li knew, the entire harem would probably be aware of this news, and it is a wonder how Imperial Concubine Zhen and Jin Wang would regret it.
When Imperial Concubine Li heard this news, she laughed carefreely. It had been a long time since she had been this happy. “This is a cycle of nature, a way to repay one’s misfortunes. I’ll visit Imperial Concubine Zhen to inform her of the good news.”
At that time, Jin Xian had secretly helped her recuperate and conceive a new child. Imperial Concubine Zhen secretly made a stumbling block as she used the name of misdiagnosis to punish Jin Xian severely and took the opportunity to cripple his hands. At that time, Imperial Concubine Zhen was delighted with her actions, but who would have thought there would be such a day that it would slap her in the face?
On the same day, the news spread throughout the Imperial Palace, causing Imperial Concubine Zhen to regret so much that her intestines almost turned green. She hurriedly sent people out to search for the descendants of the Jin family. But unfortunately, Jin Xian had already left the Capital for more than ten years and was nowhere to be found, not to mention his descendants.
Ling Wang used the opportunity to visit Jin Wang to tell him the news.
Jin Wang looked calm and relaxed, as if everything had gone according to the circumstances. He was so depressed that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood. After Ling Wang finished taunting him and leaving, Jin Wang took the pill sent by Concubine Zhen from under his pillow and ordered someone to come over. After hearing the sound of someone coming, he raised his head and ate it.
When the palace maids heard the sound, they hurriedly ran in. When they saw Jin Wang clutching his chest with blood trickling down his lips, they were so shocked that their souls were at a loss for words. Someone, please summon the Imperial Physician.”
Since Jin Wang’s condition could be considered stable, the Imperial Physicians only left one person on duty. The rest gathered at the Imperial Hospital to study the medicinal prescription, hoping that Jin Wang could recover as soon as possible.
The Imperial Physicians on duty hastily called over. When he examined Jin Wang’s pulse, his face immediately turned as pale as paper. “His Royal Highness Jin Wang has been poisoned. Hurry and invite Princess Wenxian and the other imperial physicians from the imperial hospital over.”

So Jin Wang is going to frame Ling Wang…? Good. They can fight it out so Yunyao and hubby can feed us some dog food without being disturbed by those two. 😅
ReplyDeleteI think the author would have been open with us if it was Yunyao that did something to Jin Wang's medicine, so it must have been a physician belonging to someone else who did it.
