Chapter 45 The Emperor's Decree to Execute Yun Jiaoyue
Xiao Xiuning twisted her leg, but was otherwise unharmed.
However, Xiao Xuanwu suffered internal injuries and kept coughing up blood.
Madam Yang cupped the blood flowing from the corner of his lips in her hands; the blood was so abundant it couldn't be contained and dripped down between her fingers. "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, someone, quickly fetch a doctor..."
"Mother, I can save my fifth brother."
Yun Zhaoxue had Zhuiying carry Xiao Xuanwu back to the house. After taking his pulse, she pulled open his clothes to reveal his chest and quickly pressed two acupoints on his chest with two fingers.
His chest stopped trembling.
He then took out a silver needle from his sleeve.
Xiao Xiuning stopped her, "Wait, you don't know medicine. What if you kill Fifth Brother?"
Yun Zhaoxue didn't like being questioned when she saved someone, so she told Zhuiying to shut her up.
"yes!"
Xiao Xiuning was surprised that Zhuiying agreed so readily. She took a half step back and threatened, "Zhuiying, if you dare to listen to him, I'll tell my third brother..."
"Fourth Miss, please forgive me!" Zhuiying quickly tapped her twice.
She froze on the spot, unable to move, and opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.
Zhuiying had witnessed Yun Zhaoxue's medical skills, which were superb.
Their crown prince was beaten half to death, but he was able to walk on the ground the next day. He was a divine physician who could heal the dead and restore flesh to bones.
Yun Zhaoxue's needle insertion speed was so fast that it was almost a blur.
Yang and Hongzao, among others, were terrified.
One was worried about his son's life, and the other was worried about his princess.
They knew that Yun Zhaoxue was not skilled in medicine, let alone acupuncture.
The people outside are spreading rumors that the Prince of Zhenbei has been wronged, and that his mansion might be exonerated and restored to its former glory, allowing the princess to once again roam freely in the capital.
If they accidentally kill someone, they'll have to pack their bags and leave.
The red dates were so anxious they were practically steaming.
what to do?
What should I do?
Green Branch was also worried, but seeing Yun Zhaoxue's confident demeanor, she felt relieved, even if she didn't know medicine.
The princess must have secretly learned medicine.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Yun Zhaoxue then inserted more than twenty silver needles into Xiao Xuanwu's chest.
They clapped their hands, saying, "Mission accomplished!"
"alright."
Madam Yang asked, "Xue'er, is Xiao Wu alright? It's my fault for not stopping him. If you hadn't brought Zhuiying in time, Ning'er would have been injured too. I thank you on their behalf."
"Mother, don't worry. With me here, there won't be any major problems. The needles can be removed in half an hour. I will also prescribe some medicine, and you should be fully recovered after taking it three times."
Consider it her way of repaying me for using the title of Prince of Zhenbei to plunder the Zhongda City mansion.
Yang excitedly grasped her hand tightly and stroked it, "That's good, that's good, Xue'er, thanks to you."
"Mother, come here, let me show you something." Yun Zhaoxue pulled Yang Shi in front of Zhuiying, using her body as a cover.
Zhuiying pulled a memorial tablet from his sleeve, revealing the three characters "Zhenbei Wang" (King of Zhenbei), and then put it back.
Yang's voice trembled, "This is the real one?"
"Yes, I didn't tell everyone because I was worried about being exposed. Please don't be offended, Mother."
"It's no trouble at all. I should thank you for saving it for me. Otherwise, I would not be able to die in peace. Xue'er, you are the lucky star of our Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. We are really grateful to you."
"Mother, don't talk about life and death. Everyone will live well."
...
On her way back to the Marquis of Yunyang's residence, Yun Jiaoyue's coachman was kidnapped and forced to drive the carriage into an alley.
Sitting in the carriage wiping away tears, she thought they had arrived at the Marquis's residence. She quickly wiped away her tears with her handkerchief and blinked, not wanting anyone to notice anything amiss.
"Bring me a mirror."
"Yes!" The maid took out a mirror and held it up in front of her.
Yun Jiaoyue saw that her cheeks were swollen high, and even after applying medicine, the swelling wouldn't go down. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and it was hard to tell that she had just been crying.
She was so angry that she ran back to her parents' home in such a disheveled state, which was against etiquette. Her brothers and sisters in the mansion would only listen to her and her words. As for her mother, Madam Wang, she was no longer the glamorous Lady of Yunyang, but a woman in the inner quarters who had been deprived of her power to manage the household due to adultery. She couldn't help her at all.
Yun Jiaoyue hurriedly ordered, "Don't go into the Marquis's residence, let's leave quickly."
However, the carriage did not move.
The maidservant lifted the curtain, shouting, "How dare you! The Princess Consort told you to leave, why didn't you leave?"
Not seeing the driver, I looked to the side and saw that the driver had a knife held to his neck.
"Who are you? Our young lady is the Princess Consort of Xuan."
"Our master wishes to speak with Princess Xuan for a few minutes. Please!"
He said "please" but his fierce expression carried a hint of threat.
Not far away, a tall man stood with his back to them.
Yun Jiaoyue was curious about who he was.
In this life, she strictly adhered to the rules and never had any contact with other men; she was after the Third Prince.
Yun Jiaoyue gripped the handkerchief tightly with one hand and held onto the maid's arm with the other, hiding half of her body behind her.
"Who are you? What do you want with this princess? If you're trying to threaten me into helping you deal with the Third Prince, let me tell you, absolutely not. I would never betray my husband."
“Princess Consort Xuan, you are overthinking this. I am not here to deal with the Third Prince, but to ask you to return something.”
"What is this? I don't know you."
"Jade pendant".
"Are you from Yasukuni?"
Yun Jiaoyue remembered, he was... Wanyan Zonglie, the fourth prince of Jingguo.
In this life, she didn't meet him at Jinlu Pavilion, so why would he come looking for her and ask about the jade pendant?
In his past life, he gave her a jade pendant to repay her for saving his life. Could it be that he was also reborn?
Yun Jiaoyue's eyes darted around, hesitating whether or not to admit it.
In his past life, he led his troops to conquer the capital, mistook Yun Zhaoxue for her, and cherished her dearly.
For a woman, being cherished by a man of high position and power is the greatest honor.
Wanyan Zonglie couldn't help but wonder if they were the same person.
The woman I met at Juxing Tower that day was like a cunning fox.
I don't know how they managed to print his sign there in such a short time.
...
A dark figure saw the two talking from the other side of the street and immediately rushed towards the palace.
When the Emperor heard the report from the secret guards, he wanted to order Yun Jiaoyue to be executed. How could a princess consort of the emperor be colluding with spies from an enemy country? Or was she born with the destiny of a phoenix?
Such a person is a scourge to the royal family.
"Someone, convey my imperial edict..."
He sent his father-in-law down to deliver the imperial decree, thinking that if someone were executed without cause, wouldn't that confirm the Taoist's rumors?
"The third prince is hereby summoned to the palace."
"yes!"
