…
Inside the carriage.
Mulansheng sat outside, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
I haven't felt that kind of suffocating pain for a long time since my mother passed away.
Ye Feng had already stepped forward. He stood outside the carriage, lowering his head and not daring to look Mulansheng in the eye. "Your Highness, I'm sorry. It's my fault that I didn't do my best to protect Miss Yun."
"I don't blame you. It's my own fault that I don't have the ability." Unexpectedly, Mulansheng spoke in a low and hoarse voice.
It's him, he has no ability and is a waste.
He was fully aware of his own powerlessness at the moment and could only sit there and watch it all.
Ye Feng immediately knelt on one knee, his heart aching even more. "Master, please don't think that. I will lead people to search for Miss Yun's body... and her whereabouts. Perhaps, after falling to the bottom of the cliff, there is still a glimmer of hope."
Mulansheng's eyes flickered, and he finally raised his eyelids: "Is there really... a glimmer of hope?"
It's a question, a desire to be affirmed, and also fear.
Ye Feng had never seen the once high-spirited prince's temperament change so much because of Yun Miao? Could it be that his own prince...
No, it's impossible.
I have never been moved by any woman, maybe because of the life-saving grace.
"If you want to stay, Ye Feng will accompany you to wait for the result." Ye Feng knew that Mulansheng would not be able to leave here tonight.
So Lin Feng led half of the Eagle Guards to escort Pei Lu back to the capital first.
Luo Yan also insisted on staying, under the pretext of worrying about Mulansheng's health.
The remaining half of the Eagle Guards started searching the structure of the deep cliff from the side with torches at night.
Changfang also joined in.
But before midnight, the group turned back.
"Master, the bottom of this cliff is very deep and it's not easy to find. The scope of our search at night is limited and it's very difficult. I'm afraid... we can't search again until daytime." Ye Feng came in exhausted to report the progress.
In fact, what he didn't dare to say was that given the condition of the cliff, it was impossible for a person to survive if he fell down.
How could Mulansheng not know the other meaning in Ye Feng's words?
However, he did not want to give up. He insisted, "Continue during the day."
This went on for three whole days.
Ye Feng led a group of Eagle Guards to search at the bottom of the cliff, but looking at the surging river, everyone fell silent.
Even if Mulansheng didn't want to give up, he had to accept this fact.
Yun Miao is dead.
…
Chang Fang had been crying non-stop for the past few days. He sat in the carriage on the way back, feeling uncomfortable. He handed a crumpled piece of paper to Mulan Sheng and said, "This is what Sister Yun put in my hand when she left that day."
Mulansheng looked at the paper, slowly took it and unfolded it.
When he saw the beautiful handwriting and content inside, the dull pain in his heart spread and became clearer.
"Mulansheng, even ordinary doctors can prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, but just in case you hire a quack, I'll leave you a backup plan.
Below are the prescriptions for external application and internal administration.
Follow these recipes, start using it three days after external use, and continue using it for half a month.
For oral medication, it is best to stick to it for two months. Be sure to use it on time every day and follow the doctor's instructions.
I won't follow you around like a housewife and serve you and suffer your anger anymore. After all, I need to make my own way in the world.
So, after you reunite with your people, we'll say goodbye! (Although I covet your house and money, we were even when we saved each other's lives! So I really feel embarrassed to accept your favor again. Note: If you don't mind, just ignore what I said.)"
It turned out that she had already written a prescription for him out of concern for his subsequent leg injury, and she had also planned her own future and was ready to leave and explore the world.
"Little money-grubber, how can we be even? I owe you my life again." Mulansheng carefully closed the paper and put it in his arms, but his heart seemed to be leaking air.
From then on, everyone knew that Prince Mu in the capital had a white moonlight in his heart that no one could compare to.
Of course, that’s all in the past.
During these three days, Mulansheng arranged for people to go to the clinic to help Changfang handle his master's funeral.
In the same month, evidence of the Northern King's corruption and murder of the prince was confirmed. The emperor was furious and directly sentenced the Northern King to the death with his entire clan.
However, later on, Jiuzhou City also suffered disasters.
County Magistrate Yang was so scared when he saw the imperial envoys coming in like a swarm of people that he pissed himself to death.
At this time, Yang Qing'er was also unwilling to give in and shouted: "What are you doing? My father is the county magistrate of Jiuzhou City."
"Hmph! County magistrate? Not anymore from today on." The leading imperial envoy sneered and opened the confiscation order in his right hand. "This is the emperor's order. If you have any objections, I can report it on your behalf."
The Emperor's order?
Yang Qing'er was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, and then watched in silence as all the valuable items in her bedroom were moved away. She even ordered Hongyun to take off her hairpin.
Suddenly she was dressed in plain clothes and her hair was messy, like a crazy woman.
"No... No, I'm going to ask daddy." Yang Qing'er was indeed crazy. She didn't believe that she would no longer be the most noble daughter of Jiuzhou City, but would be reduced to a commoner.
Just as she stepped out of the bedroom, the imperial edict arrived.
When he looked at Yang Jingheng and all the members of the Yang family kneeling outside, he finally had to believe this fact.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that the Yang family is corrupt and perverts the law, meddling in maritime trade, embezzling the people's goods for their own use, and defying the authority of the Son of Heaven. The entire family is to be reduced to refugees, the males to exile on sandbars, the females to prostitution, and their descendants are barred from serving as officials again. This is decreed!" The eunuch closed the imperial edict, looked at Yang Jingheng, who was about to faint, and sneered, "You should be grateful. Originally, your entire family was to be executed, but it was the Third Prince's mercy that saved you. Now that you are alive, you should all be thankful. Why don't you quickly thank the Third Prince for his kindness?"
What the old eunuch didn't say was that the investigation of the Yang family at this time was also due to the rise of the Third Prince.
Of course, he wouldn't say anything nonsense about such things.
After hearing the imperial edict, Yang Jingheng felt that this was worse than having his entire family executed! Exiled to a place like Shazhou, where his descendants would never be able to hold official positions, wouldn't that be worse than death?
"Thank... Thank you, Lord, for your grace, and thank you, Third Prince, for your kindness." Yang Jingheng instantly aged more than ten years.
Yang Qing'er knelt in the back, completely stunned.
Demoted to a musician?
No, she is still an unmarried lady. How can she become a lowly plaything for others to have fun in the future?
"No, Daddy, this isn't true?" Yang Qing'er shouted in disbelief.
But the other female members of the family had already started crying. Their former glory and wealth were shattered in an instant. They had enjoyed happiness for half their lives and could not afford to suffer even a little bit.
"Master! Why do you need to come in person to confiscate the property of a small Yang Mansion?" Ye Feng asked in confusion as he pushed Mu Lansheng in a wheelchair.
After two months of recuperation, not only did Mulansheng's illness not recur, but the wound on his knee also recovered very well, leaving only the scar from the operation.
He would often stare at the scars, studying them carefully, and imagine what she looked like when she performed the surgery on him.
She did not break her promise and she did heal her leg injury.
But this matter was only known to her and him, and he never told anyone else.
