Chapter 33: Locked Away

As soon as Chu Xuanchen walked inside the room, he immediately saw Yun Ruoyue, his gaze became even more ice-cold. He instantly strode across the room and swiftly took her by the throat. “Why are you doing this to him? How could you be so vicious to kill a dying man!” Chu Xuanchen glared at her. 

Chu Xuanchen’s strong fingers clutched her throat and picked her up effortlessly like gripping a chicken. 

Yun Ruoyue’s throat was constricted, she couldn’t let out a single word and was deprived of air, her body shivered as she never felt so close to death before while she struggled by shaking her head to him. 

Feng’er was seized by the imperial bodyguards and at this moment she cried out loud, “Your Highness, this servant begged you to spare princess consort. Her Highness came here to save Mo Zhu, to treat his wound, she wasn’t killing him.”

Chu Xuanchen snorted. “Does she know how to treat a wound? If I hadn’t found you sneakily hidden in the backyard, I wouldn’t have known that you and she were up to no good. Imperial guards, come and take princess consort and Feng’er, lock them away together into the wooden shed and wait for my further instructions.” He said in a low, firm voice. 

Chu Xuanchen had just arrived at Green Bamboo Garden from Stars at Dawn Pavilion, that’s the time he saw Feng’er at the backyard, his senses telling him that something bad was happening. 

He immediately instructed the imperial guards to apprehend Feng’er on the spot and interrogated her, however he couldn’t get any information out of the interrogations. Chu Xuanchen wasted no time and quickly went to the front entrance to inform Mo Li, and they storm inside to see what was Yun Ruoyue doing inside Mo Zhu’s room.  

Apparently, the sight that they saw inside the room was Yun Ruoyue holding a sharp knife. 

This woman’s viciousness was out of his expectations. 

He threw her on the floor after gave out his orders, as she fell to her knees, she clutched to her chest, breathed through her mouth and gasped for each breath. She almost died from suffocation. 

About a few minutes passed, she finally managed through her constricted throat and she tried to explain to him the situation. However, before the word could leave her lips, the imperial guards came forward and took her and Feng’er away, to be locked inside the wooden shed. 

After Yun Rouyue and Feng’er was brought away, Chu Xuanchen turned to Mo Li and asked, “Did she hurt Mo Zhu?”

“In response to Your Highness, no. Fortunately, Your Highness discovered it early or else the situation will turn out differently.” Mo Li cupped both hands in salute. 

“It seemed, the last discipline was too light for her!” If he knew this was going to happen, he should have been giving her fifty flogging until she quit breathing.  

“This subordinate did not anticipate that the princess consort would retaliate by targeting a sick person. If she has resentment towards me, she should have come after me.” Mo Li’s throat tightened, and his eyes misted at the sight of his brother. 

“Don’t worry, I shall give you a satisfactory answer upon the investigations. What did the imperial physician say?” His brows knitted as he looked at Mo Zhu. 

Mo Li lowered his head, his eyes closed as his heart was seized with pain, he replied, “All the physicians said the same replies, Mo Zhu cannot be cured and I was told to prepare his funeral because he couldn’t live through tonight.”

These words entered Chu Xuanchen’s ears causing his eyes to turn red and his hand tapped on Mo Li’s shoulder. “Reassure you as this prince will not give up on him easily, I will go around to find a divine physician to save him.” 

“Your Highness, just forget about it, it’s useless. You have seeked more than ten physicians already to treat Mo Zhu. Moreover, Imperial Physician Wang has said, his condition is grave unless the arrowhead is removed from his body. Otherwise, it’s impossible for him to survive even with Hua Tuo still alive. I don’t think he has a slightest chance to survive. Your Highness, please don’t waste time and energy on him.” His face contorted and he shook his head.  

“No, not until the very end, you can’t give up yet. This prince is willing to take all my possessions to exchange for his life.” The two brothers, Mo Li and Mo Zhu were orphans from a young age and thereafter they had followed and served Prince Li until today. Since then, their relationships were more closely knitted than real brothers. 

Chu Xuanchen is not willing to let go of Mo Zhu without trying. Please read original and free translations from  (https://cloudmanor.wordpress.com/prince-consort-index/)

Mo Zhu immediately replied, “Your Highness, no, you shouldn’t have done this. As of now you have to keep the possessions to retain your strength. There are too many obstacles and difficulties you have to face. I know you have Mo Zhu in your heart, and I believe he will understand your kindness and rest in peace after death.
