Chapter 13 The Unexpected
When Mo Yunzhu, covered in blood, was carried down from the carriage by Yuan Qing and brought back to the General's Mansion, it caused an uproar in the entire General's Mansion. Feng Jinyu was so scared that her legs went limp, and Mo Tiancheng was directly furious.
"What? She hasn't even gotten married yet, and Concubine Hui dares to treat Yun Zhu like this? I'm going to settle the score with her!" Mo Tiancheng was so angry when he heard what Yuan Qing said that he immediately rushed out.
"Dad..." Mo Yunzhu, who was pretending to be unconscious, raised her head and called him.
"Yunzhu, what's wrong with you? How could this happen?" Feng Jinyu was frightened and burst into tears.
Mo Yunzhu saw the servants and said quickly, "Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you. Let's ask the others to go down first."
Seeing that his daughter was looking at him seriously, Mo Tiancheng immediately sent everyone away, while Yuan Qing stood guard at the door cautiously.
Mo Yunzhu didn't want to hide it either. After all, after she and Prince Lan were tied up, the General's Mansion also needed to take a stand.
She opened the ugly wound on her waist, and then peeled something off from it. Mo Tiancheng and Feng Jinyu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
It turned out to be a very realistic fake wound.
The wound was made of chicken skin, and the blood came from when Mo Yunzhu caught mice for testing in order to study Jun Huolan's poisonous blood. The blood from the mice was collected and used to make several blood bags.
Mo Yunzhu knew that although she was a special forces military doctor with good strength, she did not have the internal strength unique to this dynasty, so she would be inferior to her opponent in terms of strength.
So she was more cautious and had been trying to save her life these past few days. She knew that being tied to Jun Huolan, a man who wanted revenge, would be very dangerous.
The purpose of fake wounds is to deceive the enemy's eyes and make them underestimate you, so that they can find an opportunity to turn the tables.
Mo Yunzhu also told her parents about Prince Lan's tragic experience and how vicious Concubine Hui was.
Mo Tiancheng and Feng Jinyu were both shocked, but fortunately Mo Tiancheng quickly calmed down.
"Yun Zhu, are you really ready to live a good life with Prince Lan?"
"Father, the imperial decree has been issued and cannot be changed. Otherwise, it would be an insult to the emperor and the general's office would also be accused of being ungrateful."
In fact, Mo Yunzhu felt that it would be best for her to reach an agreement with Prince Lan.
If she doesn't marry Prince Lan this time, she will definitely be forced to marry someone else later, and that won't be easy to reach an agreement.
“Yunzhu, if you really don’t want to, Dad will risk his life to ask the Emperor to revoke the imperial edict.” Mo Tiancheng didn’t want his daughter to suffer.
"Dad, why bother? Prince Lan and I were framed together. It's hard to explain. It's most reasonable for my daughter to marry him." Mo Yunzhu didn't say that Prince Lan would take advantage of the situation.
"But King Lan's body..."
"Dad, don't worry, I will take care of him. I shouldn't be a widow in the short term. But dad, since I have chosen Prince Lan, I don't want him to be bullied again, otherwise I will lose face."
"Of course. If you have made up your mind, Dad will definitely stand on your and Prince Lan's side. But Dad didn't expect Concubine Hui to be so cruel to her own son."
"So I have to help Prince Lan get rid of Concubine Hui's arm first. This way, at least this mother will know that she has a fierce daughter-in-law, and she won't dare to hurt Prince Lan easily in the future."
"Are you going to take this opportunity to get rid of Nanny Gu?" Mo Tiancheng understood immediately.
Mo Yunzhu nodded: "Dad, this has already happened. The General's Mansion can't just let it go. If they can't touch Concubine Hui, can they still kill Madam Gu?"
Mo Tiancheng thought about it and nodded, "Okay, since Prince Lan is my son-in-law now, I have to let everyone see my attitude towards Prince Lan."
"Thank you, Dad." Mo Yunzhu smiled immediately.
"Silly child, you really scared your mother to death. How could you come up with such weird things?" After Mo Tiancheng figured it out, his eyes were filled with affection again.
"Hehe, every failure makes one wiser. Do I have to be bullied after being framed? By the way, is there any news from the prince? Has he caught the person who framed me?"
Mo Tiancheng immediately said angrily: "Dad met with the prince this morning, and this guy hasn't found the person who framed you and Prince Lan yet. He is talking nonsense and even threatening me to marry your sister as my concubine!"
"What!" Feng Jinyu said angrily, "That's too much. Even if I want to marry her, why can Huai Qing only be a concubine? Who are you looking down on?"
Mo Yunzhu could tell from her mother's words that she also doted on her vicious sister.
In an instant, the plan that she had already made in her mind seemed a bit cruel. Her mother would definitely be very sad.
"The prince said that I have to give him an explanation. He lost face this time and wanted me to save face for him. He must marry Huai Qing, but she can only be a concubine, and he will re-select the crown princess soon." Mo Tiancheng said angrily, "This is because the prince does not want to give up the influence of the General's Mansion."
"What should we do? Tiancheng, the prince is not a good person." Feng Jinyu became anxious.
"Mom and Dad, haven't you been helping my second sister look for a suitable candidate recently?" Mo Yunzhu asked immediately.
"I've seen some of them, and they're all pretty good, but Huai Qing doesn't like them. I don't know what's in her mind, she just wants to marry into the Prince's Mansion!" Feng Jinyu looked like she was about to be pissed off.
Mo Yunzhu was just about to ask who were there when Yuan Qing's voice was heard outside.
"Miss, the second lady is here."
"Mom and Dad, you can't let anyone know about my affairs. Once discovered, it would be a crime of deceiving the king." Mo Yunzhu immediately said to her parents.
Feng Jinyu turned pale again and nodded quickly. Mo Tiancheng naturally knew the interests involved.
Mo Huaiqing was also shocked when he heard that Mo Yunzhu was carried back by servants, injured and covered in blood.
She was about to take a nap, so she hurried over immediately.
"Mom and Dad, what happened? Sister, are you okay?" Mo Huaiqing immediately came to the bed.
Seeing that Mo Yunzhu was covered in blood, his face turned pale.
Although she was jealous of Mo Yunzhu, she didn't want her to die. She just didn't want her to have an easier life than her.
She was also eager to see how wonderful Mo Yunzhu's life would be after marrying the crippled Queen Lan.
In the past, Mo Yunzhu was more glorious than her, but the situation will be the opposite in the future. Look at her, she is still so arrogant.
"Huaiqing, let's go out and talk. Let your elder sister rest first." Feng Jinyu hurriedly pulled Mo Huaiqing who was getting too close and said.
Mo Huaiqing was a little unhappy, but was still pulled out by his mother.
Outside, the sky was overcast, the weather was gloomy, and soon heavy rain came pouring down.
Inside Prince Lan's mansion, the atmosphere was gloomy. Concubine Hui sat there in silence, her face twisted into a knot. The rain outside made her even more irritated.
"Mother, if you don't use Nanny Gu as a scapegoat, this matter will definitely become a big deal. When the time comes, the Queen Mother will hold you accountable, and General Mo will definitely not let it go. Ahem…"
Jun Huolan, lying on the couch, explained the interests to his mother, but he sneered in his heart.
"But, Aunt Gu has been by my side for so many years..."
"If mother is reluctant, then you will have to bear the consequences yourself. Given the Queen Mother's love for Mo Yunzhu, I'm afraid mother will have to live in the cold palace again, and someone will still need to take the blame."
"No, no, I don't want to live in the cold palace!" Concubine Hui was so scared that she immediately shook her head.
Jun Huolan didn't say anything, and Concubine Hui stood up.
She paced back and forth anxiously for a long time before she stood in front of Jun Huolan and said sternly, "Huolan, can you let Mo Yunzhu not make a big fuss about this? If you can, then you can't let Madam Gu return to the palace. Execute her now to prevent her from entering the palace and talking nonsense."
