Inside the Longxuan Prince's Mansion.
"Mother, is Father really alright?"
Upon learning that Li Mufeng was injured, Li Jingchen rushed over immediately.
"He's fine, just lost too much blood. I've prepared some blood-nourishing medicine for him and had someone make chicken soup. I believe he'll be fully recovered after a few days of rest."
"Blood Purple Rose" spoke in a clear, melodious voice, feeding Li Mufeng spoonful by spoonful, and carefully wiping the soup from the corners of his mouth.
"Thank you for saving my father."
The little guy is quite grateful, as he said softly.
"You're welcome. He was injured because of me, so it's only right that I save him."
"Blood Purple Rose" didn't seem to care much; the little guy blinked his glassy eyes.
"Does Mother like Father?"
"dislike."
Without hesitation, "Blood Purple Rose" and the two reached a consensus that as long as Doctor Ouyang woke up, they would divorce.
"Your father is such a good man, and he is also a prince. I heard from the servants that Grandfather seems to intend to pass the throne to your father. If you are with your father, you might become the empress in the future. Aren't you tempted at all?"
The little guy really couldn't understand why his aunt used to be so eager to climb into his father's bed, but this woman in front of him was unwilling.
"Money and status are indeed tempting, but they are not love."
"Blood Purple Rose" freed one hand to stroke the little guy's soft hair and said softly.
"Then what is love?"
The little guy was rubbing his fingers, tilting his head, looking completely bewildered.
"You're still young. You'll understand when you grow up."
"Blood Purple Rose" withdrew her hand, glanced at the unconscious Li Mufeng, and a trace of confusion also flashed through her heart.
"What exactly is love? She didn't understand either. Last night, when she saw this man shield her from an arrow, her heart was pounding in her chest. When she learned that the people sent by the Prince of Jingnan had injured him, for a moment, she even wanted to massacre the Prince of Jingnan's mansion."
"Your Highness, it's done, it's done, Prince Jingnan is dead, dead..."
Just as "Blood Purple Rose" was lost in thought, Wang Feng walked in excitedly.
"Um!"
"Blood Purple Rose" raised an eyebrow, her expression remaining completely calm, as if she had expected this all along.
"I had already planted a deadly poison in Prince Jingnan's body. If it weren't for the 'Blue Jade Flower,' the poison wouldn't be harmful if it were planted in his body. But once he encountered this flower, even Hua Tuo himself would have difficulty curing him."
Originally, it was to prevent problems before they arose, since the two had long been enemies. He had crippled his son's leg, and his daughter, Mu Xue'er, was also his sworn enemy. It was only a matter of time before the Prince of Jingnan would cause him trouble. This assassination attempt was his own death.
"How does the Princess know that Prince Jingnan will definitely summon Consort Cui to his bedchamber?"
Wang Feng was puzzled. When he learned that it was an assassination attempt by the Prince of Jingnan's mansion, "Blood Purple Rose" had someone spray some "Blue Jade Flower" juice on Cui Meier's body. She also sent a letter to Madam Shen, saying that Cui Meier's clothes would attract many butterflies when they got hot.
"The Prince of Jingnan's favorite concubine is his concubine. If he doesn't summon Cui Meier to his bedchamber, who else can he summon, Shen Qinglian?"
"Blood Purple Rose" spoke matter-of-factly, her fox-like eyes darting around as she pondered how to kill Cui Teng, when she heard Wang Feng say...
"Cui Teng is dead too?"
"What? Cui Teng is dead too?"
"Blood Purple Rose" suddenly stood up, which was unexpected.
After Wang Feng whispered something to her, "Blood Purple Rose" raised an eyebrow, surprised that such a thing had happened.
The book did not record the scandalous affair between Cui Meier and Mu Xi, so she was unaware of their relationship. Now, hearing Wang Feng say this, "Xue Ziwei" was extremely surprised.
However, considering that Cui Meier was in the prime of her life while Murong was already over forty, it didn't seem strange.
"Uncle Wang Feng means, is the Prince of Jingnan dead?"
Li Jingchen rested his chin on his hand, stared at the two of them for a long time, and then asked in a childish voice.
"Dead."
When Wang Feng told the truth, the little guy jumped up excitedly.
"Great! That villain injured Father, he deserves to die."
Looking at the excited little guy, "Blood Purple Rose" couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Her serene appearance, her large, bright eyes that shone like pearls, smiling and charming, her beauty veiled in mist, exuding allure, made her seem like an elf. Not only did Wang Feng's heart skip a beat, but even the newly awakened Li Mufeng was deeply captivated by her.
"Cough cough..."
Li Mufeng coughed violently, and Wang Feng shouted with joy.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you're awake..."
"Father, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!"
The little one pounced on Li Mufeng, eliciting a gasp from "Blood Purple Rose".
"Young master, slow down! You've hurt the prince. He's still injured."
Li Jingchen was practically swung up by "Blood Purple Rose." Looking at the woman who cared so much about him, Li Mufeng felt a warmth in his heart.
"Young Master, let's go out first! I imagine the Prince and Princess have a lot to talk about."
Wang Feng was quite sensible; without saying a word, he picked up Li Jingchen.
“I won’t leave, I won’t leave. I also have many things to say to my father.”
The young prince, Li Jingchen, was being held by Wang Feng and throwing a tantrum in his arms. But this time, Wang Feng didn't let him have his way. For a moment, only the two of them were left in the room, staring at each other, neither of them willing to break the silence first.
"that……"
The two spoke at the same time, then fell silent in unison.
"You go first!"
Li Mufeng's thick, pale lips parted slightly.
"Your Highness has only lost too much blood. I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare chicken soup for you, and the medicine has also been prepared. As long as Your Highness takes it on time, you should recover sooner or later."
If there's nothing else, I'll head back. My mother is also injured, and I've arranged for Doctor Ouyang to stay at the Prime Minister's residence; he needs my constant care. The Prince has the imperial physicians looking after him, so I don't think he needs me much.”
As the clear, melodious voice spoke, Li Mufeng's heart skipped a beat, as if he were somewhat reluctant. He asked in a muffled voice, "Blood Purple Rose."
"Is this what you wanted to tell me?"
"Blood Purple Rose" raised an eyebrow, and after a moment, her red lips parted again.
"By the way, you don't need to worry about Doctor Ouyang. I will definitely keep my promise to you. After the divorce papers are signed, just have someone send them to the Prime Minister's residence."
"Is divorce absolutely necessary?"
Li Mufeng never expected that after waking up, she would say such a thing to him.
"Your Highness won't go back on your word, will you? You said you would divorce me if I saved Doctor Ouyang."
"Blood Purple Rose" thought Li Mufeng had changed his mind, and his expression became very serious.
"I did say that, but I suppose Physician Ouyang hasn't recovered yet!"
In Li Mufeng's view, since Doctor Ouyang was so badly injured, he probably wouldn't recover so quickly. As long as he didn't recover, he would have a reason to prolong the illness. His wicked heart even wished for a moment that Doctor Ouyang would never wake up.
"I will definitely cure him. I will stay at the Prime Minister's residence for the time being. Since we have decided to separate, it is better not to drag things out."
"Blood Purple Rose" was as cold as ice. She turned to leave, but was grabbed by Li Mufeng.
"Are you really so heartless, woman? My injuries haven't healed yet; you can't leave."
