Chapter 79: Bitter and not intentional
The Scholar studentâs two ears donât listen to anything outside the window, they only focus on reading books. So, these group of people is the best tool to incite the peopleâs heart to make them do things that they donât dare. Unlike the palace officials who only tried using their familyâs reputation and connection to be officials.
âSend a few more scholar students to continue pa.s.sing rumors, I want to hear different voices.â Xiao Tianyao uses the public voice to washed away his bad reputation. The Emperor will use the same method, however, to step down on him.
âRemember, Zhen doesnât want you to blindly say that he is not good.â The Emperor sent people to guide the rumors, but he doesnât want it to be too obvious. After all, people who have eyes were smart. So, he doesnât want those scholar students to see that he was in a hurry. With Xiao Tianyaoâs disability, the people will eventually be cold to him and will call him cruel once again.
âThis servant understand.â The kneeling man stayed motionless until the Emperor finished. When the Emperor finished, the man immediately got up and retired.
âCome in, Prime Minister Lin Xiang.â The Emperor didnât stop even for a minute, he gave his order one after another.
âThis official greets the Emperor.â When Lin Xiang greeted the Emperor, his spirit is somewhat low.
After all, his baby daughter had knocked her head to the wall when they visited the Xiao w.a.n.gfu. When the doctor saw the injury, he said that the injury will be scarred. Because of that scar, Lin Wantingâs marriage to the Crown Prince will be in danger.
Thereâs no way a future emperor will marry an ugly woman, right? However, the saddest part is, his baby daughter wants to marry the current Emperorâs most annoying brother. These continuous events are simply terrible.
So in these past few days, Lin Xiang was so worried to the point where he could no longer eat.
âPrime Minister Lin.â The Emperor frown and said a bit coldly. However, when he saw Lin Xiangâs low-spirited appearance, the Emperor felt satisfied, so he nodded his head before he continues to say: âPrime Minister Lin, a few days ago, I heard that Imperial General Ning Yuan is the ringleader of the corruption that is happening in our army. He was corrupting our deceased and casualties soldierâs pension. Donât you think that this is a serious matter?â
Although the Emperor had asked about it, his intention is self-evident. After all, Imperial General Ning Yuan is Xiao Tianyaoâs confidant. And under him, there were thirty thousand soldiers. With this issues, Xiao Tianyao will definitely pay him a visit to talk about this matter.
Once you heard the sound of the string, you will know the song. Lin Xiang has always been good in figuring out the Emperorâs intentions. However, this time, his face turn pale because he canât understand him.
What ring leader? What corruption? Imperial General Ning Yuan didnât do anything like that, so it doesnât matter. There is no evidence, so it doesnât matter. They only want to take this drastic measures to instigate the scholar studentâs mind to see that the people under Prince Xiao are corrupt.
And what if Xiao w.a.n.gfu counterattack?
Xiao w.a.n.gfu is not as big the palace, so no one will risk his life to anger the emperor and protect a small p.a.w.n.
The other two monarchs inside donât agree, but they know very clear that Lin Xiang is always backing the Emperor. Seeing Lin Xiangâs clueless face, the Emperor couldnât help but rubbed his eyebrows and wanted to rest for a bit. However, the Emperor personal eunuch suddenly came in and said âThird Prince Xiao Zaneâs legs disease trigger, the doctors cannot suppress his pain. Third Prince Xiao Zian was in a lot of pain because his blood stops flowing to his legs, his finger toes are starting to turn black.â
âMy son, Zian ⦠â¦â The Emperorâs face immediately changes in color, then he suddenly got up: âSummon Imperial Qing Yuan immediately!â

Inside the room, Third Prince Xiao Zian was lying deathly pale on the bed. His whole body was aching, so heâs trying to harden his muscles. His lips were trembling and his forehead was full of sweat. The pain is too much for him to handle so he couldnât help but tightly pulled the bed sheet.
However, he still kept silent about it, so the people around him donât know how he exactly felt.
âZian, how are you?â The Emperor direct went to him and didnât mind kneeling beside the bed.
Xiao Zian shook his head hard but didnât speak. He was so afraid to open his mouth because he doesnât want to shout in pain. Seeing this, Imperial Concubine Zhou immediately came forward and explained: âHuangshang (Emperor), Zian is feeling an extreme pain, so he couldnât speak.â
âI know, I know.â The Emperor said while sitting on the bedside. He wants to comfort Xiao Zian, but seeing him suppressing the pain. The Emperor couldnât help but vented his anger to the doctors: âDoctor, where are the doctors? Come in here!â
*
Inside the palace, the people are like chickens that are flying around because the dog started barking. However, inside Jin Tian Courtyard, the peopleâs actions are very detailed. At least, they look like that on the surface.
Divine Doctor Mo started using a needle to stimulate Xiao Tianyaoâs tendon on the legs. Then, he told Mo Yuer to ma.s.sage Xiao Tianyaoâs acupoints. But, Xiao Tianyao rejected her by simply saying: âItâs just a menial work, so Miss Mo doesnât need to bother. â
If such work canât be done by Mo Yuer, then who will?
Divine Doctor Mo wanted to ask Xiao w.a.n.gfuâs doctors, but Xiao Tianyao immediately said: âw.a.n.gfei, benw.a.n.g will trouble you.â
What do you mean?
Lin Chujiu who is standing on the side blinks her eyes. She swears sheâs not trying to flirt with Xiao Tianyao by doing that, but because she was angry! Very angry!
Mo Yuer canât do such menial work, but she can?
Which part of her is much worse than her ah?
Youâre too much!
âI ⦠â¦â Lin Chujiu only said a word, but Xiao Tianyao waved his hand and said: âCome and listen carefully to Doctor Mo. If you made a mistake, benw.a.n.g will not spare you.â
Between a husband and wife, the word âspareâ doesnât mean negatively. Itâs more like a code name for an ambiguous activity. However, Xiao Tianyao was the one who said it, the master of impolite words, so surely it doesnât mean like that.
If there are no outsiders, Lin Chujiu wouldnât mind it. But Xiao Tianyao said it during his treatment, so she cannot treat it like nothing has happened.
Xiao Tianyao had said it in front of Divine Doctor Mo and Mo Yuer, so how will these two people take care her seriously? Wonât they find it easy now to take her position when she officially married in Xiao w.a.n.gfu?
Lin Chujiu started complaining inside her mind. She admitted that she respect Xiao Tianyaoâs righteousness, but what he did repay her?
A b.l.o.o.d.y knife!
She doesnât care even if Xiao Tianyao will let a naive girl stay by his side. She doesnât care if Xiao Tianyao will have another woman. But, if he will hit her face in front of another woman, she canât let it slide because he trampled completely on her pride. Even if itâs not intentional.
She doesnât want to dispute with Xiao Tianyaoâs favor. But for his honor, she needs to take half a step near him, even if she doesnât want to see Xiao Tianyaoâs face. Additionally, she will not only see Xiao Tianyaoâs face in the future but also Mo Yuerâs face.
Lin Chuju felt very uncomfortable, but right now, she can only keep it inside her, And at this moment, she and Xiao Tianyao can only continue this show. In the end, she was the only one who suffers.
She would face Xiao Tianyao because she cannot make him lose his face in public.
Lin Chujiu secretly pinch her sour pharyngeal, then brightly smile as if she doesnât know how cold Xiao Tianyaoâs words were. While smiling, Lin Chujiu elegantly lifted her skirt and walked near him. Then, directly sits on his side. Lin Chujiu half jokingly and half bitterly said: âw.a.n.gye, donât be so fierce in front of other people. We are husband and wife, so I know who you are, but Iâm afraid other people might get scared of you. Right, Yuer Meimei (Sister)?â
It goes without saying, that Mo Yuer was the one she was referring as other.
Unfortunately, Mo Yuer aka the other people didnât give her a face and completely ignored her. Fortunately, Lin Chujiu was expecting that Mo Yuer will not cooperate. So, she gently punch Xiao Tianyaoâs legs, then said: âSee, you scared Yuer Meimeiâ
Lin Chujiu said to complain, but it sounds very romantic. So with that kind of words, a third party shouldnât involve themselves. Seeing Lin Chujiuâs extremely bright face, Divine Doctor Mo and Mo Yuer glared at her. But then, they felt that it was only Lin Chujiuâs wishful thinking. In the end, Xiao Tianyao is no match to Lin Chujiu. Most of her actions are not allowed, but⦠â¦
The father and daughter pair were still comforting themselves, but Lin Chujiu had already taken another action.
