The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1558: Chapter 1553: Swell Your Face

The Empress Dowager looked to her left, her tone icy, "Yunzhu, go to the Scarlet Flame King’s mansion, punish Li, the secondary consort, with thirty slaps and deprive her of her silver stipend for one year!"

An elderly but still commanding palace servant slightly bent his knee, "This old servant obeys the order."

This servant had attended the Empress Dowager for decades. Even the Empress had to show her deference in the palace. Now that the Empress Dowager had sent her to personally punish Li Yunshu at the Scarlet Flame King’s mansion, even the Ducal Mansion dared not utter a word.

Qin Ge knelt on the ground, her face pale, obviously under immense pressure. Li Yunshu, whom she had valued, had ultimately disappointed her!

She had helped Li Yunshu, yet she never expected her to resort to such despicable methods as drugging Qin Muyan, which was utterly reprehensible!

She no longer pleaded for Li Yunshu, and upon hearing the punishment her mother had ordered, she would fast on vegetarian food for a month in the palace temple to repent for her actions and to pray for Rong Yun’s well-being.

After Qin Muyan escorted her to the temple, he knelt behind her and whispered, "Mother, I know you have my best interests at heart, but I truly love Rong Yun. She is not like Li Yunshu. I am willing to dote on her, willing to give her the best love in this world."

"But she..."

Qin Ge almost blurted out her own concerns, but seeing the sincere and earnest look in Qin Muyan’s eyes, she swallowed her words and said lightly, "Do as you wish, Yunshu deserves this lesson, and I won’t indulge her anymore."

"Thank you for your blessing, mother. Do not worry, Jingjing has grown up, and I will have children with her. The realm of Great Wei will definitely be stable," Qin Muyan bowed to Qin Ge, then stood up and left.

The Empress Dowager assigned Yunzhu to accompany him back to the Scarlet Flame King’s mansion; he brought pastries to Rong Yun’s courtyard while Yunzhu went directly to Frost Blossom Courtyard to carry out the Empress Dowager’s order of thirty slaps on Li Yunshu.

When Qin Muyan arrived, Rong Yun was still lying in bed, weak.

She was so delicate. When he was administering the antidote, he couldn’t bear it, but he inevitably did it anyway.

Rong Yun’s body was sore all over, particularly hurting badly in one spot. After Nanny Yan applied medicine, Rong Yun cried for a long time in a babyish voice. It wasn’t until Qin Muyan held her and soothed her that she finally stopped sobbing.

However, her throat had become hoarse from crying.

Qin Muyan broke off a small piece of the pastries awarded by the imperial grandmother and fed her; Rong Yun managed only two bites before she couldn’t eat any more, "It’s tasty, but it hurts when I swallow."

Rong Yun looked up at Qin Muyan with pitiful eyes, melting Qin Muyan’s heart with tenderness and pity.

He held her in his arms, cradling her delicate face as if holding something fragile, kissing her tenderly, careful even with the pressure of his lips, fearing he might hurt her again.

"Sorry Jingjing, I know I hurt you; I will be gentler in the future."

"Hmm." Rong Yun whimpered softly in his arms.

Qin Muyan felt as if his heart was melting, how could there be such a delicate and lovely girl in this world?

He had been in the military for many years, tough as iron, but being with her was truly a test.

He held her and comforted her for a long time until she was content, curling up on his chest like a little kitten, rubbing against him occasionally.

The dusk settled outside, orange light streamed through the window reminding them that the day was coming to an end, and the afternoon’s moments had been slowly lingering yet so beautiful.

In Qin Muyan’s heart, there had never been a moment as peaceful and tranquil as now.

"Your Highness, please go see the secondary consort! Her face is swollen from the beating, the Empress Dowager is too cruel!"

"Your Highness! Please have pity on the secondary consort!"

"The secondary consort is also your woman!"

Outside the door, a woman’s unrestrained shouting could be heard.

Rong Yun shivered in Qin Muyan’s arms, "What... what’s happening again?"

Qin Muyan hugged Rong Yun and patted her back, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

Qin Muyan put her back on the bed, opened the door, and saw Madam Yan outside saying, "Your Highness, the maidservants and servants from Lady Li’s courtyard are all causing a commotion outside. This maid has already warned them several times, but they refuse to leave and are still shouting loudly, disturbing Your Highness."

"How audacious! Let Wei Mingze drive them all back and also pass on my command, without my permission, no one from Frost Blossom Courtyard is allowed to disturb the Princess, otherwise I will kill them!"

Qin Muyan angrily issued the order, but then softened his tone, glancing back inside the room.

He lowered his voice, "Take good care of Rong Yun, don’t let anyone disturb her."

He couldn’t be with her at every moment, but his Jingjing, no one was allowed to hurt her!

Madam Yan gladly took the order and went down to pass it along.

Wei Mingze drove Chun Xing and others back to Frost Blossom Courtyard. When they attempted to make a fuss again, Wei Mingze personally struck one person and then relayed Qin Muyan’s command, "The Prince has decreed that no one from Frost Blossom Courtyard is to approach the Princess’s courtyard, anyone who dares to come close will be killed without mercy."

Qin Muyan, known for his decisive actions in the military, had palace guards who were similarly imbued with a bloodthirsty disposition in the Scarlet Flame prince’s mansion, enough to scare Chun Xing and the others from daring to step outside.

Chun Xing staggered as she walked towards the house, looking at the figure hidden behind the folding screen, she knelt down trembling, "Secondary consort... His Highness refuses to come."

"Bang—"

"Boom!"

Li Yunshu behind the screen was furiously smashing things, even a large coral was broken, she raged, "Why! Why won’t His Highness come to see me! I was beaten by the Empress Dowager! I was beaten and he didn’t come to see me! Why!!!"

She covered her face, looking in the mirror at her own cheek swollen like a pig’s head, a surge of anger burst from her chest, almost burning her body to ashes with her roars.

"I won’t accept this! I won’t submit!"

"I am the legitimate daughter of Duke Li’s residence! Even the empress wouldn’t dare treat me like this if I entered the palace as a consort! But that Rong Yun... why her!"

"His affection for her, even my aunt wouldn’t plead for me! And the Empress Dowager... she even sent people to bully me! My father and mother have also been punished! Why is this happening!"

Li Yunshu madly smashed everything, nearly destroying everything in the room that could be broken, even attacking the roof, charging up to tear a hole in it.

Chun Xing, familiar with her mistress’s temper, neither dared to stop her nor dared to approach, but Li Yunshu was not willing to give up, she still planned to confront Rong Yun!

Chun Xing couldn’t agree to this, kneeling in front of Li Yunshu, she repeatedly kowtowed, "Secondary consort, please endure! At least get through this period! Duke Li hasn’t returned, the master and madam have been punished, if you cause more trouble... there will be no one to protect you!"

Her secondary consort’s current situation truly was no match for Princess Beiling, even if unwilling, she must endure momentarily to preserve her safety!
