You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

"Puch"

"Ha ha……"

Guo Shu and Mu Yunge laughed out loud at the same time.

"You guys should just stop joining in the fun. You should know when to stop and understand that too much is as bad as too little."

The old man nodded and said, "If I were to come forward, no one would dare to say anything. But if you were to go, things would be completely different. They would be the ones being bullied."

Mu Yunge hugged the old man's arm and said, "Grandfather, let's be clear. You can make a fuss, but you can't be really angry. You must take care of yourself so that you can join us in defending the General's Mansion and protecting everyone."

"Don't worry, Grandfather is in good health and can still fight in the battlefield."

"Yes, yes, Grandfather can still go into battle and kill the enemy, but your main battlefield is now in the capital, and the enemies you want to kill are also in the capital. I, a small soldier, am still waiting for you to lead the charge."

Just a few words made the old man laugh heartily.

"Haha... our Ge'er is right. I, with my old bones, will stay here to fight against these monsters in the capital."

Everyone in the general's mansion closed the door and was happy on their own.

On the other side, the Yongguo Mansion and the Mu Mansion were busy healing their wounds.

The Mansion of Duke Yongguo.

After the Duke of Yongguo and his wife brought Lin Jinhao back to the mansion, they immediately called a palace doctor to treat his injuries.

While waiting, the Duke's wife was heartbroken and kept complaining: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess today."

"I should have known earlier. How could there be so many things I could have known earlier? If I had known earlier, Jin'er wouldn't have brought those damned datura flowers and sage, and none of this would have happened."

Speaking of medicinal herbs, the Duke's wife now remembered something she had forgotten because of the Great Yan Emperor's anger.

"Master, I noticed Jin'er's complexion wasn't right in the guest room today. Quickly ask the palace doctor to take a closer look and see if there's anything wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I looked at his face, and it was flushed with purple."

Duke Yongguo devoted a lot of effort to Lin Jinhao, his only legitimate son.

In order to help his sister and nephew, his son's reputation is now ruined. It is not a big deal for a man to have his reputation ruined, but he must not have any problems with his body.

Duke Yongguo frowned, stood up and went into Lin Jinhao's room.

At this time, the court doctor was treating Lin Jinhao.

"How's the injury?"

The court doctor replied truthfully: "My Lord, the Crown Prince is a martial artist. Twenty strokes of the cane wouldn't hurt him at all."

The court physician considered his words carefully before continuing, "But the prince was taking medication and had just experienced a love affair, which overdrew his physical strength. While he was weak, he received twenty strokes of the cane, which is why he has been comatose."

Duke Yongguo reached out and touched his son's forehead, "Apart from the injury and overdrawn physical strength, is there anything wrong with Jin'er's body?

Madam said that when she first met Jin'er, her face was cyanotic.

"Blaugrana?" The court doctor felt doubtful and solemn as he took Lin Jinhao's pulse again.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm not very skilled, I really can't find any problems.

"My Lord, this concerns the Crown Prince's health. To put your mind at ease, would you like to invite an experienced imperial physician to examine him?"

The court doctor was afraid that Lin Jinhao really had some problem, and that he had not found out and delayed the treatment, and he could not take responsibility, so he made a reasonable suggestion.

When the Duke of Yongguo heard this, he thought it made sense and hurriedly shouted outside: "Someone come!"

A man who looked like a secret guard entered the room and took orders: "Master!"

"Tomorrow morning, go to the palace and see the virtuous concubine. Ask her to find an experienced imperial physician to examine the prince.

Just say that the Madam saw that the Crown Prince looked unwell in the palace and asked the Imperial Physician to check him out to make sure she was at ease."

"Yes!" The man agreed and left.

The Duke's wife leaned against the door and asked, "Master, what did the court doctor say?"

"He couldn't find the problem and suggested calling in a royal physician."

The Duke's wife nodded in agreement and put her son's matter aside for the time being, "Now that things haven't been accomplished, what are you going to do?

Speaking of which, that Mu Qinxue is a jinx who always ruins our plans. I don’t know what kind of magic potion she has given Jin’er that makes her insist on her?

A woman with such a ruined reputation is not even qualified to be a concubine in my mansion. I will never allow her to enter my house..."

As she continued to talk, the Duke of Yongguo lost his patience and said, "You'd better watch your mouth. Be careful what you say."

The Duke's wife looked around, curled her lips, and finally held back the unpleasant words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Humph, it's obvious that she is not a woman who can be taken care of. What the Queen said is right. A lowly creature who relies on her seductive tricks to seduce men is not worthy of entering our Duke's Mansion.

Seeing her angry look, Duke Yongguo didn't want to waste any more words with her, so he stood up and walked out. His aunt was really considerate and gentle, and knew how to please others.

When the Duke's wife saw the direction he was going, she was so angry that she cursed him without any dignity, "Your son is in such a state, and yet he still doesn't forget to run to that vixen's house. Be careful that he will die in a woman's belly one day."

After scolding him, he still went in to check on his son's condition out of concern.

"Doctor, thank you for taking good care of me. I will not treat you unfairly." As she said this, she took out a small-denomination silver note from her bosom and handed it to the doctor.

The court doctor took it and bowed in thanks, "Don't worry, Madam. I will take good care of the prince and report any situation to you promptly."

Only then did the Duke's wife pat her waist and turn back to her own yard.

Mu House.

Li and others brought Mu Qinxue back home and hurriedly called a doctor.

After treating the wound and sending the doctor away, Li sat down on the chair.

Think about the emperor's rage, Concubine Lin's insults, the Duke's wife's cold words, the world's scorn, and everything you have to face after the failure.

Li slumped in the chair and didn't respond for a long time.

Xiao Cui stepped forward and called softly, "Madam, if you are tired, go and rest. I will leave this to you."

Li suddenly came back to her senses: "Xiao Cui, tell me everything that happened tonight from beginning to end. If you dare to hide anything, you will be in trouble."

Xiao Cui nodded and started talking from the moment Mu Yunge walked out of the hall.

"Miss Yun Ge came out from the hall, and a little while later, the young lady also came out and took the initiative to take Miss Yun Ge to the guest room..."

After Xiao Cui finished speaking, Li found herself at a loss for words.

The accusations made by Mu Yunge and the two maids were exactly the same as what Xiao Cui said, without a single flaw.

After thinking for a moment, Li asked again, "Who do you think knocked Xue'er unconscious?"

"I think the only people who have the ability and conditions to do this are those related to the palace. No one else can bring anyone in."

Li knew exactly who Xiao Cui was talking about, and she happened to notice the look the emperor gave the princes.

The beneficiaries of this matter are none other than the eldest prince, the second prince, and their mother.

Not only did they ruin the good deeds of Prince Lin and others, they also made Xue'er look so ugly.

The most infuriating thing is that I have no evidence and no connections. These people are not people I can afford to offend. I can only swallow this loss and cannot seek justice for my daughter.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess.

Li stood up in a daze, muttering to herself as she walked, "What will happen to Xue'er in the future?"
