Chapter 42: His Saviour 

“Your Highness, my young miss is a weak lady, she didn’t know a thing. Please don’t hurt her, you can beat me instead. I am begging you please let her go.” Feng’er said with tears streaming down her cheeks. 

Seeing that Feng’er has no intentions to leave Yun Ruoyue’s side, it’s starting to get on his nerves. Hence, he immediately barked out an order, “Someone, come and drag that lowlife servant out of the way.”

The two manservants at the side walked toward Feng’er, lifted her up and pulled her away from the princess consort. 

Hence, Yun Ruoyue was left all alone. 

Yun Ruoyue couldn’t contain her anger, she shouted angrily at him, “You dog poop prince! Go ahead and flog me to death if you can. When I’m dead and gone to the afterlife realm, I’m going to tell on you. Tell the God of Death in every evil deed you have done, let the God of Death preside at the judgement and take your life!” 

“You have a rather sharp tongue. Still haven’t learned your lessons, do you?” Chu Xuanchen’s tall and vigorous figure walked to her, held the whip near her pretty face and with his blazing eyes gave her a warning look.  

Yun Ruoyue did not accede to his threats but chose to remain silent. She shut her eyes and held her head higher to brace herself in accepting this dreadful fate. With that, she bravely waits for the merciless whip to greet her delicate and fragile body. 

Pah! The powerful slash jumped off into the air like a ferocious snake flying over to strike Yun Ruoyue, at this moment in time, a dark shadow rushed to the scene and they heard a voice of a man calling out urgently, “Your Highness, please have mercy on her. Mo Zhu woke up and he said the princess consort was his saviour!” 

When the tip of the lash was only 0.01 millimeter away from her face, he was startled and immediately backed away with a quick jerked at the handle to retract the lash at his full strength.  

The long braided thong sprang back in great speed and struck heavily on his body, he grunted as his body withstood the inflicted pain.   

The moment was so tense, Feng’er quickly turned her face away while Mo Li held his breath and stunned at the spot. 

Chu Xuanchen’s expression stiffened for a second before returning to his solemn look as he began to coil up the heavy leather whip, his deep and low voice escaping from his lips. “What is it? Speak!”

Mo Li gulped, he walked forward and cupped his fist, “Replying to Your Highness, Mo Zhu woke up one hour ago, he was in a good health condition and also ate a few bowls of porridge. As stated by Mo Zhu, it was the princess consort who saved him by helping him to remove the broken arrowhead, cut away the dead tissues and clean the pus discharge. After that, she applied the medicinal powder to the wound and bandaged his leg as well. That’s how he recovered.” 

Though outwardly, Mo Li wore a serious expression on his face as he reported the series of events to the prince, but inwardly, not quite believing in what he had just said that these events were literally done by the princess consort on her own.

As soon as his voice faded, he had a quick glance at the princess consort and realized she was still the same hateful woman, however, his heart subconsciously started to blossom shame and guilt feeling that made him afraid to look straight into her eyes.  

In the prince’s mind, the two Mo brothers were his honorable and capable men, and he knew them well enough to trust their words. Yet, his disbelieving eyes gazed at her. “She? This prince wouldn’t believe that she has any medical knowledge. I shall make a visit to the Green Bamboo Garden to ask Mo Zhu again, and find out the exact situation, and then we’ll talk it over later on.” 

Mo Li immediately asked, “Your Highness, how about princess consort? Should we untie and release her first?” Mo Li couldn’t bear to see the princess consort in a sorry sight, she looked very weak, as if she would faint at any time. 

“Drag her along, as I wanted to know her real intention, whether she was saving or killing Mo Zhu.”  

When Mo Li heard this, his heart was overjoyed because what the prince meant in his words was that he agreed to release the princess consort.  

At once, he quickly instructed the imperial guards at the side to let go of the princess consort from tying to the wooden pole. 

Yun Ruoyue could feel her back was in burning pain. The pain not only came from the fresh lacerated wound inflicted by the prince just now, but also the old wound was torn open making the pain at the back increasingly obvious. It was too painful and she was completely unable to stand on her own. 

Seeing that her mistress was set free, Feng’er hurriedly ran over to support her. 

Prince Li and the imperial guards brought Yun Ruoyue along with them and headed to the Green Bamboo Garden. On the way, she secretly took out two anti-inflammatory tablets and stuffed them into her mouth to help her to reduce both pain and inflammation. 

Shortly after, Chu Xuanchen arrived at the Green Bamboo Garden. 

When he stepped into the bedroom to look around, Mo Zhu had woken up and was leaning against the headboard on a bed while drinking water. 

The moment Mo Zhu saw the prince taken a few steps into the bedroom, he abruptly coughed by his sudden pause from drinking water and jolted up straight, he greeted, “This subordinate pays his respect to Prince Li.”  

He was about to get out of bed and wanted to pay his respects before being interrupted by Prince Li with a wave of his hand to signal Mo Zhu to stop, “Don’t move, let this prince see your wound.” Chu Xuanchen in his worried face walked in front of him. At the same time there were a few manservants following behind the prince who stepped forward and helped Mo Zhu to lift up the trouser legs.

When Mo Zhu’s left thigh was exposed to the prince’s sight, the prince looked at the bandage for a while and then he stared at the iron arrowhead that was placed on the table for a very long time, in a beyond belief expression on his face.  

That piece of iron arrowhead was the same as the assassin’s weapon that was sent to kill him the other day. After he saw the evidence in his own eyes; he believed the person who helped Mo Zhu to take out the arrowhead was indeed her!  

At this moment, Mo Li showed up at the entrance and he personally escorted the princess consort into Mo Zhu’s bedroom. (Please read original from cloudmanor.wordpress.com) 

Quickly afterwards, the princess consort appeared in the sight of everyone. Mo Zhu excitedly waved his hand at her with a broad smile wreathed on his face. “Hello beautiful. I have waited so long for you. Where have you been?”

“Hello beautiful?” Chu Xuanchen glowered at him. 

Mo Li interjected, “Mo Zhu, open your eyes and look again, she is Princess Consort.” He enunciated each word “princess consort” slowly. When he saw his younger brother infatuated with the princess consort, he couldn’t help it but broke out in cold sweat.
