Chapter 40: Mo Zhu woke up
“Who did you say was tempting you? Your Highness, didn’t you have a great time too? You say you loathe me, yet, why did you enjoy it so much? Perhaps.. You have fallen in love with me?” Yun Ruoyue’s eyes gleamed with a slight amusement, faking a look as if she had deciphered the biggest secret.
As usual, her astute observation is always right to the point.
After Yun Ruoyue spoke, Chu Xuanchen couldn’t help it but recalled the entire scene on that consummation night. His body was indeed drugged by her and controlled by it, however, his conscious mind was fully aware at that moment and he knows what he’s doing.
That feeling made him so totally out of control, somehow, he has the lingering desire to savour those feelings again.
Because of this reason, he intensified his hatred toward her by hoping that he could suppress his emotion and obliterate those lingering thoughts from his mind.
His face reddened, mingled with shame and vexation when he thought about it. “This prince is a hot-blooded young man. Of course, this prince will not refuse any great giveaways delivered at my doorstep.” Right after he spoke, the whip was raised and struck Yun Ruoyue’s back fiercely!
He had enough with her provocation tonight. If he doesn’t teach her a lesson, she won’t shut her mouth.
When the whip landed on her, a hot, painful sensation struck her from the back. She could feel the back of the dress was torn, exposing her lacerated skin, at the same time, a sweet taste appeared at the back of her throat and she vomited a mouthful of blood.
Feng’er was horrified to see the scene, she darted forward to hug Yun Ruoyue tightly as she begged, “Your Highness, please don’t beat her. I’m begging you, please have mercy on her!” She let out a soft whimper.
“Get out of there right now! If you don’t, I’ll thrash you both.” He roared.

Green Bamboo Garden
At this moment at the Green Bamboo Garden, Mo Li had sent his subordinates to call Imperial Physician Wang to come to the manor.
This time, he prepared five hundred taels of silver coins and it was his entire life savings. He ordered his subordinates to bring the money and gave it to Imperial Physician Wang secretly, otherwise how could the imperial physician easily agree to come out in the middle of the night?
Actually, all Mo Zhu’s medical consultations were paid by Prince Li. However Mo Li was impatient as he needed the imperial physician to come urgently. Therefore, he forked out all his fortune hoping the physician could be more attentive in saving his brother.
When the imperial bodyguards carrying the sedan chair with Imperial Physician Wang sat on it arrived at the Prince Li Manor, he was still asleep.
Shortly after that, he was awakened by Mo Li’s voice. With that, he was riding with a sullen expression on his face and he grunted as he replied, “Imperial Bodyguard Mo, how many times does this old physician have to tell you? Your brother cannot be saved anymore and won’t live for long. Why do you still persist and bring me here?” His eyelids were partially drooped and he let out a loud yawn.
He was someone important in the imperial palace; he often received expensive items and perks from the inner palace for his medical services. Why would he care for those five hundred taels of silver coins? It didn’t mean much to him anyway.
He came here in the middle of the night because he was afraid of Prince Li.
If he refused Mo Li and this matter was made known to the prince, isn’t he inviting trouble for himself? Everyone knows Prince Li had a domineering personality; consequently he won’t let him slide off just like that.
Therefore, he wouldn’t dare to infuriate Prince Li, no matter how tired and sleepy he was; he still had to drag himself to come. He feels like having a black cloud hanging over his head as he contemplates.
“Imperial Physician Wang, could you please take another look at my brother? You are the senior imperial physician in the palace. Your creditable medical skills and experience at dealing with arrow injuries are remarkable. I believe you could do it.” Mo Zhu pleaded earnestly to him. He would kneel down to beg if Imperial Physician Wang wanted him to.
Imperial Physician Wang responded by quickly getting to the point. “No, no. I have seen his injury and the arrowhead can’t be taken out. And another thing, his left thigh was rotten and he was also in a comatose condition. I dare to conclude the chances to save him are almost zero and will not survive tonight.”
And it was at this time, a maidservant ran out from Mo Zhu’s bedroom, reported, “Imperial Bodyguard Mo, Mo Zhu woke up. He said he was hungry and wanted a bowl of porridge.” The young maidservant panted a little as she excitedly broke out the news.
“What did you just say?” Mo Li immediately left the scene and rushed into the bedroom.
When the news got into Imperial Physician Wang’s ears, first he was surprised, and then disbelief crossed his face. Right afterwards, he quickly followed behind Mo Li and walked toward the bedroom.
He was expecting a dead man tonight, but surprisingly he has woken up just now! And not only that, he was also asking for a bowl of porridge?
When Mo Li stepped into the bedroom, the first sight that greeted him was Mo Zhu sitting on the bed, and his complexion seemed fine, in fact, he looked much better than before. (Please read the original from cloudmanor.wordpress.com)
“Mo Zhu, you awoke? Great, you finally woke up.” Mo Li’s eyes were wet. He exhaled as if a heavy stone just alighted from his chest.
“Elder brother, I’m starving. I want to eat porridge.” Mo Zhu’s feeble voice left his chapped lips.
“Alright, I have ordered the cook to keep the porridge ready at all times in the kitchen, so you can have it at any time. I will tell someone to get it right away.”
Soon after, a maidservant was seen walking into the bedroom with a food tray that contained a bowl of porridge and other side dishes.
