Mountain River Festival 342: Mother and Son Severance

"Bitch!" Princess Zhenning stared at Concubine Liu lying on the ground, her face full of cold resentment and disgust. Shen Yang's words completely shattered the last hope Princess Zhenning had for her mother. Princess Zhenning was bewitched in the cold palace and her face was ruined. In the past two years, she hated Concubine Liu all the time, but this hatred was mixed with a trace of expectation for her mother and unbreakable admiration. If Concubine Liu sincerely apologized to her tonight, even if there was a trace of guilt and regret, Princess Zhenning's golden hairpin would not have pierced her body.

But at this moment, there was only pure disgust and hatred in Princess Zhenning's eyes, and the relationship between mother and daughter was truly severed from then on.

Mo Wuyou did not hesitate after hearing what Shen Yang said. He quickly pulled out the golden hairpin, and blood gushed out. Mo Wuyou took out the healing medicine Shen Yang had prepared and poured it on the wound, then tore off a piece of white gauze from Concubine Liu's clothes and began to bandage the wound.

Princess Zhenning didn't injure Concubine Liu's vital parts. If we exclude the fact that she can no longer have children, even if Concubine Liu died, it was just because of excessive bleeding. And now with Shen Yang's hemostatic medicine, her life is naturally not in danger. After bandaging the wound, Mo Wuyou took out a small porcelain bottle and gave Concubine Liu a drink. After a while, Concubine Liu's originally pale face began to regain color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Wouldn't it be a waste to give such a good thing to her? Did I give you such a thing to make you do such a thing?" Shen Yang stared at Mo Wuyou unhappily. Mo Wuyou looked up at Shen Yang and smiled sweetly, "Master, Uncle Ding and the Princess must have something to ask. How could she get anything out of the way she was just now?" Shen Yang snorted and said, "You are smart."

Mo Xiuyao narrowed his eyes and watched Concubine Liu's expression improve. He nodded indifferently and said, "Since everything is fine... Xiaoyun, what do you think?" Mo Xiaoyun lowered his hands and said calmly, "Everything is up to Uncle Wang. This person has nothing to do with me and my sister anymore."

"Even though we have nothing to do with each other anymore?!" Princess Zhenning suddenly said, turning her head and staring fiercely at Concubine Liu Gui's beautiful face, gritting her teeth and saying, "She still owes me a face."

Hearing this, Concubine Liu's face changed, and she glared at Princess Zhenning and said angrily: "What do you want to do?" Princess Zhenning looked at her, gritted her teeth and said word by word: "You ruined my face, shouldn't you compensate me?" Concubine Liu sneered and said: "You are my child, don't say I ruined your face, even if I want your life, you should bear it."

Mo Xiaoyun walked over to Princess Zhenning, took her hand, looked at Concubine Liu Gui and said, "I've just said it, we have nothing to do with you anymore."

Concubine Liu snorted disdainfully. How could the relationship between biological mother and son be easily severed? In Concubine Liu's view, Mo Xiaoyun and Zhen Ning would always be her children. She could be dismissive of them, but they could never be disrespectful to her. She forced herself to stand up and sit on a chair at the side. Although the wound was bandaged, it was impossible to heal it in a short time even with the best elixir. The severe pain made her expression a little distorted, and the look she gave Princess Zhen Ning seemed to be poisoned.

Princess Zhenning didn't care about her eyes. When a person is completely desperate about another person, he or she will become unusually indifferent.

Concubine Liu Gui did not care about the reactions of Princess Zhenning and Mo Xiaoyun. If she had cared about these two children in the past, the painful struggles over the past two years had wiped out all the insignificant feelings. Since Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li appeared here, most of Concubine Liu Gui's attention has been focused on them. However, she no longer had the infatuation with Mo Xiuyao as before, but was filled with deep resentment. In fact, Concubine Liu Gui hated Mo Xiuyao more than Ye Li at this time. But she knew that she could not be impulsive anymore. She had always experienced Mo Xiuyao's ruthlessness towards her.

"Prince Ding, what do you mean by ordering these two people to assassinate me? Are you trying to make enemies with Beirong?" Concubine Liu raised her chin and stared at Mo Xiuyao proudly. She is now the future princess of Beirong, and her status is no lower than Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li. She doesn't need to be polite to them anymore.

Ye Li was speechless, silently glancing at Mo Xiuyao who was sitting beside her. Is this the legendary love turning into hate?

"What do you mean?" Princess Zhenning stepped forward and said, "What does this have to do with Prince Ding's Mansion? I just want to kill you, so what? At worst, I'll give you my life!"

"Royal sister!" Mo Xiaoyun looked at Concubine Liu Gui deeply, and said to Princess Zhenning: "Let's see what Uncle Wang says." Mo Xiuyao tilted his head to look at Princess Zhenning and Mo Xiaoyun, and smiled faintly: "Zhenning, although your father is dead, Da Chu has nothing to do with you now. However, as long as the king recognizes you as a princess, you will still be a princess. Take your life in exchange for her life? Is this the reason why the king let people raise you for so long? Who will compensate the loss to the king?"

Princess Zhenning was stunned. She was not good at many intrigues. But she also knew that she could not solve the problem by acting on impulse. She lowered her head and said, "Uncle Ding, it's Zhenning's fault."

Mo Xiuyao nodded in satisfaction. He didn't raise this princess and prince for fun. If he lost his life for Concubine Liu, wouldn't it be a waste of his efforts? Therefore, Princess Zhenning and Mo Xiaoyun must not die, but must live well. Looking at Concubine Liu, Mo Xiuyao asked gently: "I just want to make enemies with the Northern Rong? What do you think? Do you want to go back and ask Yelu Ye if he is willing to go to war with me for you?"

"You!" Concubine Liu Gui was extremely angry. Mo Xiuyao's casual question was clearly a mockery of her.

"How about me?" Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Beirong and the Seventh Prince are here." Zhuo Jing came in and reported from outside the door.

"Oh? This small Changxing Palace is quite lively tonight. Let them in." After a while, Zhuo Jing brought Yelu Hong, Princess Ronghua and Yelu Ye in. Seeing the blood on the ground and the beastly Concubine Liu, everyone was stunned. Princess Ronghua smiled and said, "Princess, what happened?"

Ye Li said calmly, "It's nothing. Miss Qing Yina suddenly broke into the Changxing Prince's Mansion with the intention of harming the Changxing Prince and the princess. The princess panicked and hurt Miss Qing Yina."

"Ye Li! You are talking nonsense!" Concubine Liu roared, but the pain from the wound made her clench her teeth and sweat. Yelu Ye walked over to support Concubine Liu who was about to fall in the chair and asked, "What happened?" Concubine Liu bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "My lord, it was Prince Ding and Princess Ding who ordered that girl to hurt me." The three women present, except Princess Zhenning, rolled their eyes and looked up at the sky. Concubine Liu was at least thirty-four or thirty-five years old. Is it really okay for her to act like a spoiled child like this?

Yeluye obviously did not sympathize with Concubine Liu's fragility, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"

Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Miss Qing Yina, you are not going to say that I sent someone to capture you, right?"

Concubine Liu Gui had spoken out of turn. She did come to the Changxing Palace on her own, but she couldn't tell the reason in front of so many people. Ye Li looked at Yelu Ye calmly and said, "Prince Yelu, just now Miss Qing Yina accused me and the prince of ordering Princess Zhenning to assassinate her. Now I want to say that she broke into the Changxing Palace without reason and intended to harm the princess and the Changxing prince, and framed me."

Yelu Ye frowned, although in fact he believed more in Concubine Liu's words in his heart. But Ye Li's words left him speechless, and at the same time, Yelu Ye was also unhappy about Concubine Liu's unauthorized visit to Changxing Palace. Yelu Hong, who was sitting on the side, watched Ye Li attack Yelu Ye, but his face was very calm. He just frowned slightly and said, "As the host, Prince Ding and Princess Ding would definitely not be so rude to the guests. Not to mention that it is too unreasonable to instruct Princess Zhenning to assassinate Qing Yina. But seventh brother, Qing Yina has always been with you, why did she come to Changxing Palace?" It is indeed unreasonable for Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao to instruct Princess Zhenning to assassinate. However, Yelu Hong simply ignored the fact that Princess Zhenning herself assassinated Concubine Liu Guifei, and obviously put all the blame on Concubine Liu Guifei.

Yelu Ye frowned and said, "My brother is right. I'm afraid today's incident was just a misunderstanding."

Princess Ronghua smiled and covered her lips, saying, "Seventh brother is right. Qing Yina is so similar to the late Concubine Liu Guifei that some misunderstandings are inevitable. The Prince of Changxing and Princess Zhenning came to visit us two days ago. Could it be that the Prince of Changxing and the princess are still..." Mo Xiaoyun bowed to Princess Ronghua and said respectfully, "What Aunt Ronghua taught me is that it was the prince and the princess who were reckless before. The matter has been made clear. My sister and I have nothing to do with Miss Qing Yina. We recognized the wrong person." After speaking, Mo Xiaoyun took a step back and secretly grasped Princess Zhenning's hand tightly. Princess Zhenning lowered her eyes to hide the hatred in her eyes, and finally did not say anything more and tacitly agreed to Mo Xiaoyun's words.

Yelu Hong smiled and said, "It's good that it was a misunderstanding. Then what happened tonight..."

Mo Xiaoyun said, "It was a misunderstanding tonight. Miss Qing Yina came suddenly and we had some conflicts in our words. My sister thought that Miss Qing Yina wanted to harm us and stabbed her. I hope Prince Yelu will forgive me. If there is any punishment, Xiaoyun is willing to bear it."

Since people said so, Yeluye naturally couldn't bully a child who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He had to let it go. Concubine Liu got hit with the hairpin in vain. Yeluye said goodbye to Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li with a gloomy face, and helped Concubine Liu out.

"Wait a minute." Shen Yang, who had been watching the excitement from the side, suddenly spoke.

Although Yelu Ye was not familiar with Shen Yang, he knew that he had a very special status in Prince Ding's mansion, so he turned around and waited patiently for him to speak. Shen Yang took a prescription written by Mo Wuyou and handed it over, saying, "As the saying goes, a doctor is like a parent. Since she is a patient, I cannot ignore her. This girl has had too many miscarriages, and she was injured in a wrong place just now. You can take this prescription back and give it to her. Although it cannot guarantee that she can get pregnant in the future, it is still good for her body."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people in the whole hall became strange. In fact, Ye Li and others had already known this before, but now seeing Shen Yang saying this to Ye Luye seriously, Ye Li couldn't help but stiffen the smile on his face. Ye Luye's face was even more gloomy and frightening. Even if the Beirong people didn't particularly care about women's problems, that was only referring to the ordinary Beirong people. The royal family and the nobles were no less concerned about these things than the people in the Central Plains. Even if Ye Luye and Concubine Liu were not in that situation, it was still very shameful to let people say it in front of so many people.

Concubine Liu Guifei turned even paler at Shen Yang's brilliant move. She glared at Shen Yang and Mo Wuyou with resentment, then followed Yelu Ye in a daze.

After Yelu Ye left, Yelu Hong and Princess Ronghua naturally did not want to stay for long, so they also stood up and said goodbye. Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Shen Yang stood up and took Mo Wuyou with him to leave. When he passed by Princess Zhenning, he stopped and looked at her and said, "You are an interesting girl. Come back to Prince Ding's Mansion to find me." After that, he left without looking back. Princess Zhenning and Mo Xiaoyun did not understand what Shen Yang meant, but Mo Wuyou knew. However, Princess Zhenning's injury was too serious. Even Mo Wuyou, who was very confident in his master's medical skills, did not dare to guarantee that she would be able to recover. He could only say, "Zhenning, remember what the master said, you must come to Prince Ding's Mansion when you are free." Seeing Princess Zhenning nod, he bowed to Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao and chased after them.

For a moment, only Mo Xiuyao and the other three were left in the hall. The originally tense atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Mo Xiuyao frowned as he looked at the young man and woman in front of him. Although there were not many things tonight, two of them made Mo Xiuyao very unhappy. He looked at Mo Xiaoyun and Princess Zhenning with a bit of hostility. Even if it was not intentional, the pressure from such a strong man made beads of sweat appear on the foreheads of Princess Zhenning and Mo Xiaoyun.

Seeing the brother and sister struggling, Ye Li sighed and held Mo Xiuyao's hand, then said to Mo Xiaoyun and the others, "You are tired too, take a good rest. Don't act rashly in the future."

Mo Xiaoyun nodded. Mo Xiuyao stared at Princess Zhenning and asked, "Do you still hate her?"

Princess Zhenning gritted her teeth and said, "I wish I could tear her into pieces!"

Mo Xiuyao sneered and asked, "What do you think you can do?" Princess Zhenning was stunned and looked at him in confusion. Mo Xiuyao said calmly, "Do you have the ability to cut her into pieces? I'm afraid that the next time she cuts you into pieces, you will be the one." Princess Zhenning gritted her teeth. In terms of skills and means, she was indeed not as good as Concubine Liu. Mo Xiuyao pulled Ye Li to stand up, looked at the two of them calmly and said, "You two are not allowed to interfere in Concubine Liu's affairs anymore. Similarly... you are not allowed to help her. If I find out that you have secretly done something you shouldn't do... don't blame me for being cruel."

Mo Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat. Prince Ding's words meant that he was going to deal with Concubine Liu Gui. Holding Princess Zhenning, Mo Xiaoyun said respectfully, "Please follow the instructions of Uncle Prince Ding. Xiaoyun and my sister will not act rashly. She has nothing to do with us anymore."

"Very good." Mo Xiuyao nodded with satisfaction, holding Ye Li's hand and walked out.

After returning to the mansion, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao both issued strict orders not to tell Mr. Qingyun about what happened last night. In fact, Mr. Qingyun was so old that he had already stopped worrying about many mundane things and had become more open-minded, but as the younger generation, they still did not want the old man to worry about something that they could solve themselves.

The next morning, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao had just gotten up when the guards outside came to report, "Miss Dongfang wants to see you."

Ye Li was stunned for a moment, not quite sure who this oriental girl was. Mo Xiuyao curled his lips in disdain and said, "The one from Cangmang Mountain. Ask Master Qingchen to handle it. The king and the princess have something else to do." The guards took the order and left. Ye Li asked in confusion, "What do we have to do?" Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Shall we go see my little princess and cultivate our relationship?"

In the hall of Prince Ding's mansion, a woman in white was sitting quietly drinking tea. She didn't seem to be angry at the host's indifference, but just waiting calmly. Half an hour later, footsteps were heard outside the door. The white-clothed woman's lips curled up a perfect smile, and when she looked up, she saw not the handsome man in white clothes and white hair, but another black-haired man in white clothes as pure as snow. Although Master Qingchen attracted attention, she focused all her attention on Mo Xiuyao last night and didn't even notice Xu Qingchen sitting among the Xu family. However, just by looking at the elegant demeanor of the man in white, she could guess the identity of the man. She stood up and smiled faintly, "Dongfang You has seen Master Qingchen."

Xu Qingchen smiled faintly and nodded, "Miss Dongfang, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

Dongfang You nodded and sat down, looking at Xu Qingchen and said, "I wonder if Prince Ding is here?"

Xu Qingchen smiled and said, "Prince Ding has some things to do and has no time to receive the young lady. Please forgive me."

Dongfang You looked at Xu Qingchen and raised her eyebrows and said, "Master Qingchen is hostile to me? I wonder what I did to displease Master Qingchen?" Xu Qingchen just smiled and said nothing. Dongfang You sighed helplessly and said, "I understand. Master Qingchen is the cousin of Princess Ding. No wonder Master Qingchen is dissatisfied with me."

Xu Qingchen shook his head calmly and said, "I'm afraid Miss Dongfang thinks that I have hostile intentions towards you? Miss Dongfang thinks too much. The relationship between Li'er and Prince Ding is their business, whether it is good or bad, it is their business, and the Xu family will not interfere." Dongfang You said, "I have no intention of interfering in the relationship between Prince Ding and Princess Ding."

Xu Qingchen said: "This is Miss Dongfang's own business."
