Chapter 1560: Chapter 1555: Solving Li Yunshu Once and for All

Qin Muyan roared furiously, summoning Stern Mama and Wei Mingze, pointing at Rong Yun’s calf, he rebuked, "How did the Princess sustain an injury? Where did this snake poison come from? Explain clearly to Your Highness!"

Wei Mingze immediately knelt down, "It’s my negligence. I failed to protect the Princess, allowing her to be bitten by a venomous snake in the garden. I deserve to die!"

"Bitten in the garden? Since when are there snakes in the garden of the prince’s mansion, and who put it there?"

The chill in Qin Muyan’s gaze fell on Stern Mama, "You tell me! What happened!"

The anger of Qin Muyan was expected by Stern Mama, yet when faced directly with his fury, her heart trembled slightly. She then knelt and lowered her head, saying: "Your Highness, the Princess said not to fuss over such minor matters. Besides, it wasn’t the first or second time that Li, the secondary consort, has harmed the Princess. I often advised the Princess to endure when possible..."

"Li Yunshu? Her again!"

Qin Muyan, furious, punched and shattered the white jade screen in Rong Yun’s room. He grabbed his sword, angrily heading towards Li Yunshu’s Frost Blossom Courtyard.

He won’t let this malicious troublemaker off tonight!

"Qin Muyan!"

"Ouch!"

Rong Yun chased after him getting out of bed, and stumbled, falling to the ground.

Hearing the noise, Qin Muyan hurriedly ran back to pick her up. He soothed the lady, seeing she was about to cry again, he quickly said, "Don’t cry, don’t cry. Your Highness will go and discipline her. She repeatedly harms you, it’s utterly detestable! Your Highness will expel her from the prince’s mansion right now!"

"Qin Muyan, don’t go, let Auntie handle it! I... I’m scared. Can you stay with me?"

Rong Yun wrapped her legs around Qin Muyan’s waist and nestled softly against his shoulder, acting coquettishly.

She looked at Stern Mama with a puzzled expression, not understanding why her aunt asked her to do this, but she did it anyway.

Her aunt would never harm her.

Stern Mama nodded at her, her eyes showing some appreciation.

Qin Muyan could not resist her clinging, and despite the unquenched anger in his heart, he could not bear to leave her.

He put down the knife, turned around and instructed Stern Mama, "Jingjing trusts you, you shall go on Your Highness’s behalf to give orders—watch Li Yunshu tonight, don’t let her cause any trouble. Tomorrow, Your Highness will expel her from the prince’s mansion and divorce her!"

He had already tolerated Li Yunshu many times, but she had gone too far!f.re(e) w.e(b)nov el.c.om

Not only did she repeatedly harm Rong Yun, but this time even set a poisonous snake on her. If the doctor had not treated her in time, or if something happened to Rong Yun, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

Leaving Li Yunshu in the mansion, he fears in his fury he might kill her directly!

Then, the real disaster would commence!

After assigning Li Yunshu to Stern Mama, he immediately instructed Wei Jue to go to the imperial palace and the Eldest Princess’s Manor, telling his Imperial Brother and mother about all of Li Yunshu’s recent deeds. He really couldn’t keep Li Yunshu in his mansion any longer.

Otherwise, Rong Yun would definitely suffer by her hands.

Having kept Qin Muyan with her, Qin Muyan bathed with her and then carried her to bed.

He still kept checking her wound, personally changing her dressing, and worryingly said, "Even though the snake venom is cleared, it might still have harmed your body. You must take good care of yourself these days. Make sure not to rush for the sake of bearing children and harm your health."

"But I really do want to have a child for you. It’s still okay when you’re at the mansion with me, but once you leave, I get so bored," Rong Yun leaned on his shoulder and softly voiced her grievances.

"Your Highness has tried to come back to accompany you as much as possible, but there are numerous affairs to attend to in the court, and as the Scarlet Flame King, now the Imperial Brother also intends for Your Highness to inherit the throne." Qin Muyan’s tone grew heavy as he spoke.

He never told anyone about matters of the throne, but facing Rong Yun, he felt assured and revealed it to her.

Upon hearing that he was going to inherit the throne, Rong Yun reacted differently from others. She blinked her moist eyes, "Then I must bear children for you even more. My mother said that the imperial family must have many offspring, otherwise the ministers will harbor ill intentions, and the royal court will be unstable!"

"Yes, Princess Jingjing, you even know about this!" Qin Muyan extended his index finger and playfully flicked her nose, his eyes brimming with indulgence.

Rong Yun, after all, grew up in the palace, she still understood some things.

"Qin Muyan, let’s have children."

Rong Yun now understood a lot about the matters of the bedroom, and knew how to undress for Qin Muyan.

Qin Muyan threw both their clothes under the bed, and embraced her as they submerged beneath the Fragrant Cloud Brocade Quilt.

A night filled with charm and fascination ensued.

In another part of the prince’s mansion, however, the atmosphere was not as pleasant.

Nurse Yan accompanied by two maidservants entered Frost Blossom Courtyard, where Wei Mingze had already brought out Li Yunshu, tied to a chair with iron chains.

Li Yunshu, with disheveled hair and a bruised face, looked pale and ghostly, "Wench! What are you here for! Your Highness has returned, hasn’t he? Let Your Highness come see me, I want to see Your Highness!"

"Your Highness has our Princess to keep him company; naturally, he won’t come to you. You’re wasting your energy."

Nurse Yan wore a dark blue silk shirt, and under the bland moonlight, her pale face exuded a strong oppressive force.

She started as a low-ranked concubine and rose through the ranks following Imperial Consort Yu, saying she survived battlefields would not be an exaggeration.

Thus, as Li Yunshu yelled and screamed before her, her expression remained unchanged, instead, she calmly ordered someone to prepare something and asked Wei Mingze to take all the people from Frost Blossom Courtyard away for punishment.

In the courtyard paved with pebbles, only Li Yunshu and the three people including Nurse Yan remained.

The night was eerily quiet.

But Li Yunshu’s shrieking voice was like a pair of hands tearing through the peace.

Her eyes nearly popped out as she screamed, "You lowly maid, what right do you have to punish me! I am the Scarlet Flame King’s secondary consort, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Li! Even the princesses of Great Wei are not more noble than I am! My aunt is the Eldest Princess, and my family has generations of merits. You better kneel down immediately, lick my feet, bow and apologize to me! I might still spare your dog’s life, otherwise..."

"Slap!"

Nurse Yan fiercely slapped Li Yunshu, "Whose life is a dog’s life?"

Li Yunshu was momentarily stunned, "You...you lowly maid dare to hit me!"

"Slap slap!"

Nurse Yan alternated her hands, giving her two slaps, with real force, causing Li Yunshu to spit out blood.

Nurse Yan looked down on her from above, "Listen well, this is the Scarlet Flame King’s mansion, I am a maid of the Scarlet Flame King’s wife, even if you’re a secondary consort, you’re just a concubine, not fit to shout before someone close to the Princess! And your noble identity..."

Nurse Yan’s lips curled up in a cold smile, "It’s precisely because of your noble identity that I have no choice but to deal with you, making your noble status useless."

After receiving several slaps, Li Yunshu calmed down quite a bit. She had never taken Rong Yun seriously before, thinking that aside from her beauty, she had nothing.

But this maidservant by her side...
