Chapter 26: Seriously injured

The original Yun Rouyue’s mother, Eldest Madame Huang was the mistress of the Prime Minister’s residence. However, a few years back, she fell ill and was overtaken by sickness. 

She had been long ailing and needed to stay in bed, for that reason, the mistress position was replaced and handed over to a concubine, who was the second wife to the Prime Minister. Second Wife Liu became the mistress and was in charge of all the matters in the Prime Minister’s Manor.

When Yun Rouyue’s got married, the dowry was prepared by Second Wife Liu instead of her mother. Eldest Madame Huang has no say in the daughter’s marriage. 

The wedding dowry prepared by Second Wife Liu was merely a few boxes of cheap mahogany boxes filled with little money, dresses and clothes made from coarse materials and other common essentials.

When Eldest Madame Huang learned about this, she was aggrieved for not being able to help the daughter to prepare the wedding. With her ailing body, she gets down from bed and gathers a few bags of silver coins, silk materials and jewelry for her daughter’s wedding. 

With those bags of silver coins and jewelry, the original Yun Rouyue used them to give away to the maidservants as tips, hoping to get good connections by buying their hearts. That’s how the money was all spent.

In the beginning, she indeed lived a comfortable life in the prince’s residence. However, when she had no more silver coins to spend, they disregarded her completely. The money that she spends earlier on them becomes in vain. 

In the view of the fact, this was all Chu Xuanchen’s fault. If it wasn’t him, hold in derision and openly ridiculing Yun Rouyue, and resulting in the servants behaving the same. 

Prince Li was very wealthy, the manor was never short of silver and gold coins, and he controlled the money. Looking at the current situation, it is very likely he would handed over the imperial treasury to Concubine Nangong. That means all the expenses and disbursement of the money has to go through her. 

When the whole imperial treasury falls on Nangong Rou’s hands, doesn’t that mean she’s doomed? 

As Yun Rouyue contemplated. “I can’t let this happen, I have to bring back the control under my wings again, only then I have a chance to spend the money.”

After three days passed, Yun Rouyue stayed in bed to recuperate. 

In these three days, Feng’er diligently helped her to clean, changed the dressing and to treat the wounds. Wounds have to be regularly checked, the more frequently she changes to new bandages, it would be better for the healing process, to close the wound as quickly as possible. 

At present, the wound started to heal; the gaping wound slowly closed up. Take another few days of rest, she should be fine. https://cloudmanor.wordpress.com/prince-consort-index/

Thankfully, she has the time space medical facility with her, if not, she won’t be lucky enough to survive. In the current situation without any medical supplies, the wound would be hardly treated, eventually having the risk of germs to enter and cause infection. In consequence, she will end up losing her life. 

This morning while Yun Rouyue and Feng’er was having their mantou for breakfast at the outer chamber, and at this time, could be heard Old Maidservant Zhang’s voice resounded nearby.

“Stop and put down what you are doing right now. Regrettably, Mo Zhu can’t make it through, he has bravely saved our prince’s life and is going to die soon. His Highness was terribly upset, as a friend we should bid him a last farewell before he departed this life.” It was Old Maidservant Zhang who broke the news. 

Upon hearing the news, several maidservants in the vicinity hurriedly put down their chores and gathered to discuss in hushed voices. 

“Mo Zhu really can’t make it through? We should stone them to death, those barbaric assassins. Hurry, let’s go now to see him.”

The maidservants rapidly left the scene. 

Yun Rouyue has heard and seen everything before her, she stared at Feng’er with a query look and asked, “Who is Mo Zhu? What has happened to him?”

“Your Ladyship, you don’t remember him? He was Imperial Bodyguard Mo Li’s younger brother. This incident took place in the capital when His Highness was ambushed by assassins and it was Mo Zhu who took the arrow and saved the prince’s life. In the past few days, his condition has worsened and jeopardized his life. He was unconscious for three days already. Just now, when I was in the kitchen to take mantou, I heard them saying the physician has announced and confirmed that he won’t make it through this night. That’s why Old Maidservant Zhang and other maidservants were going to see him for the last time. He was a fine young man and liked by many of us.” 

Her words made Yun Rouyue to remember him again, yes indeed, there was a guy named Mo Zhu worked in Prince Li Manor. 

He was Mo Li’s younger brother, Deputy Commander of the Imperial Bodyguard. A good looking and fine young man. 

“What kind of injuries that almost take his life?” You Rouyue casually asked while she took a bite of the mantou. 

“His thigh was pierced by an arrow and the arrowhead broke inside his leg. The physician couldn’t pull it out because he can’t find the location of the arrowhead. The situation became tedious and dragged on until today.”
