Luo Zhiheng deliberately had someone return to the palace through the back door, summoned Qi Wan, and carried Mu Yunhe back to his room, avoiding eye contact with anyone.
"Quickly find a doctor. Xiao Xizi, don't go. Your wet nurse, go and find the most famous doctor in the capital. Also, most importantly, bring him secretly. It's best not to let anyone know," Luo Zhiheng instructed. Mu Yunhe had just made his public debut today. If they called a doctor as soon as he got home, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
The wet nurse left immediately, so fast that she almost disappeared in front of Xiao Xizi, leaving Xiao Xizi with his mouth agape in shock.
"Qiwan, go and guard the gate. Don't let anyone walk in or out of the courtyard at will. Xiaoxi, stay in the room and be ready to do whatever you need. Bring me a cup of water." Luo Zhiheng gave the instructions methodically, and the two of them immediately did their jobs.
Luo Zhiheng tried to give Mu Yunhe some water, but Mu Yunhe couldn't drink it at all, and the whole cup of water spilled out. Helpless, she could only help Mu Yunhe change his clothes. Mu Yunhe's body was already soaked with sweat, and although she was quick and efficient, her hands were trembling slightly as she unbuttoned Mu Yunhe's clothes.
Looking at Luo Zhiheng's pale face and tense expression, Xiao Xizi felt frightened. He asked cautiously, "Your Highness, do you need my help? I... I'm very good at unbuttoning..."
Luo Zhiheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly glared and growled, "What are you all standing there for? Get over here and serve me!"
Xiao Xizi's face fell, and she almost cried from fright. She hurriedly helped Mu Yunhe take off his clothes. But whether Xiao Xizi was too silly or too anxious and forgot, she actually tried to pull down Mu Yunhe's pants right in front of Luo Zhiheng. Her hand had already pulled off a section of them when Xiao Xizi suddenly turned around, her eyes brimming with tears, and pleaded, "Your Highness, please help me, please?"
No matter how capable, experienced, or reserved Luo Zhiheng was, she was still a virgin. Even when she occasionally teased Xiao Hehe, she always kept things within limits. Now, this silly little slave had pushed her to such a level that she was a bit bewildered.
Staring blankly at Mu Yunhe's half-exposed...fleshy and firm buttocks, her heart trembled slightly. She forgot to look away, and even forgot to close her eyes, and foolishly asked, "How can I help you?"
Xiao Xizi was overjoyed: "Could you help me lift Master's leg up a little? It's too heavy, I can't take it off."
"Go to hell! Let me help you strip Mu Yunhe naked, butt..." Luo Zhiheng blurted out in her bandit-like slang, but then she suddenly felt she couldn't continue, and the rest of her words got stuck in her throat. With Xiao Xizi staring in disbelief, she completely lost it: "Hurry up and change his clothes, if you can't take them off, take scissors and cut them!"
She dashed out of the room like a headless fly! She ran all the way to the center of the courtyard, trying to calm herself, but she couldn't. Her face was flushed and burning, her heart was pounding, and her mind was a jumbled mess. Finally, it all turned into a soft, firm, white mass, and two large, naked characters…
Buttocks! Buttocks! Mu Yunhe's buttocks...
Luo Zhiheng slapped her forehead hard, her mind a complete mess. What was wrong with her? Mu Yunhe was in such danger, and she was still thinking about his butt! The worst part was Xiao Xizi—why didn't she tell her when she took off his pants? She could have gotten out immediately! Now, her mind was filled with those barely visible buttocks she shouldn't have seen…
It looked really nice to the touch, but she wondered what it would feel like. And it was firm, perky, and quite fleshy. Luo Zhiheng was certain that it was definitely the most sensual part of Mu Yunhe's body. The word "sexy" instantly popped into her mind. Luo Zhiheng nodded. Yes, that's right. Now it seemed that Mu Yunhe's buttocks were the sexiest part of his body…
"What's wrong? Why are you cursing my grandpa?" Xiao Xizi pouted with tears in his eyes, continuing to serve Mu Yunhe with a wronged expression. But Mu Yunhe was too heavy, and Xiao Xizi's arm was injured, so he couldn't use his strength. Xiao Xizi was worried that Mu Yunhe would catch a cold, and he was sweating profusely. Suddenly, he had a bright idea. He quickly ran to the door, leaned on the door frame, and looked around. Seeing Luo Zhiheng standing in the yard, he quietly called to Qi Wan, who was guarding the door: "Qi Wan, hey, come quick, come help me." 14.
Xiao Xizi called out very carefully, but Qi Wan was a straightforward person who was on high alert guarding the door. She was annoyed that Xiao Xizi was disturbing her at this time, so she didn't control her voice and said unhappily, "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm guarding the door?"
Qi Wan's loud voice made Xiao Xizi tremble all over, and he tried to run away immediately. But Luo Zhiheng had already heard the noise, and Qi Wan successfully interrupted Luo Zhiheng's increasingly lewd thoughts, pulling Luo Zhiheng's burning lustful heart back to the right path.
When Luo Zhiheng saw the timid and cowering Xiao Xizi, she couldn't contain her rage, feeling as if she had been caught stealing stars.
"Little Xizi! Instead of serving your master properly, what are you doing sneaking around like that? You're asking for trouble!" With a roar, she unleashed her full power, and Little Xizi became an innocent casualty. 15867921
Zhiyi went to the Ren family residence. Xiao Xizi awkwardly stepped out from behind the door and said weakly and aggrievedly, "This servant didn't do anything. I just wanted Qiwan to help me, so I took off Master's pants."
Xiao Xizi was oblivious to the fact that she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, but Luo Zhiheng almost died of anger when she heard it.
"You, you idiot! Qi Wan is a pure and innocent girl, and you actually let her..." She was too angry to finish her sentence, but whether it was really just for Qi Wan, she didn't know. In any case, she was furious. Is Mu Yunhe's buttocks something anyone can look at? Even Xiao Xizi's eyes should be gouged out!
Left with no other choice, Luo Zhiheng went inside and worked with Xiao Xizi. She tried her best not to look up, and whenever Xiao Xizi told her to move, she would grab Mu Yunhe's legs, lift them up, lower them, lift them up again, and lower them down again, finally managing to change his pants. The doctor was also brought over by the wet nurse…
Xiao Xizi was dumbfounded once again. The wet nurse stood behind Luo Zhiheng without changing her expression, while the old doctor glared at Luo Zhiheng and the others, panting and cursing them as bandits.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiheng's tense face broke into a smile, and she said in a sinister tone, "You're right, I am a bandit. I've entrusted this person to you. If you don't save him, I'll not only take your life, but also the lives of your entire family, and I'll seize all your property."
The old man looked horrified. He wanted to be more assertive, but with his wet nurse, the one who had abducted him, present, he could only swallow his pride and treat the patients. After taking their pulses, the old man's face turned extremely grim: "This illness is difficult to treat. The poison has already penetrated into the meridians, and there are toxins in all five internal organs." The illness was already advanced, perhaps even terminal. These people had still come to him for treatment; wasn't this blatantly sending him to his death?
"I didn't ask you to treat that. Just check why he fainted, when he'll wake up, and besides the illnesses you mentioned, does he have any other problems today?" Luo Zhiheng said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, the old man quickly said, "The fainting was just due to a relapse of an old illness, coupled with emotional excitement and fatigue. As long as he gets more rest and takes his previous medication, there's nothing else to worry about. He'll wake up on his own soon."
Luo Zhiheng nodded, somewhat satisfied. Mu Yunhe's current condition was unsuitable for taking any medication; any medicine would become a deadly poison in his body.
After the wet nurse saw the old man off, Luo Zhiheng, finally able to calm down, sat on a stool and leaned over Mu Yunhe's bedside, gazing at him longingly. He looked so handsome, and the more she looked, the happier she became. She felt as if something was overflowing inside her, a joyful and warm feeling that she could hardly contain.
"You know, I didn't force you to actually appear there. I just wanted you to move around more at home. But you looked really handsome today. I should have brought that calligraphy back and given it to you." Luo Zhiheng twirled her fingers around Mu Yunhe's long hair and whispered in his ear in a childish tone that Mu Yunhe would never have expected.
She spoke for a long time, a smile always on her face. But suddenly Mu Yunhe jolted, startling Luo Zhiheng. She threw herself onto his arm and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mu Yunhe did not wake up until Luo Zhiheng called him several times. He slowly opened his heavy eyes, which were unfocused and blank for a while before he could finally see clearly. His pupils gradually met Luo Zhiheng's face.
"Aheng?" A hoarse voice, an uncertain tone, and a hand reaching out urgently as if to grab something—that was all Mu Yunhe was feeling at that moment.
Luo Zhiheng quickly grabbed his hand and replied repeatedly, "Yes! I'm here. Mu Yunhe, how are you? Are you feeling unwell? I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."
A strange light flashed in Mu Yunhe's eyes. Her pitiful little appearance, so delicate and fragile, so cautious—this was an expression that didn't belong to Luo Zhiheng. It was the first time it had appeared on Luo Zhiheng, yet it didn't seem out of place at all. He had fallen in love with this side of Luo Zhiheng at first sight; it was like… a gentle and adorable domestic cat, meant only for his enjoyment.
He couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her cheek. Seeing her wide-eyed surprise, Mu Yunhe smiled and said, "So only you can pinch me, but I can't?"
Luo Zhiheng thought she should go along with him for now, so that his heroic act earlier was also for her, his lover. So she nodded with a smile and even brought her cheek closer for him to pinch: "Yes, yes, pinch me as much as you like."
Mu Yunhe was in a great mood, so he couldn't bear to pinch her tender cheeks. He wrapped his long arms around her neck and pulled her into his embrace, sighing with a heavy heart: "If only I had left home sooner and fought alongside you, you wouldn't have had to endure so much grievance and criticism. Ah Heng, I'm so sad."
What saddens me is your unbearable circumstances; what saddens me is the absence of my companionship and support during every day you endure hardship and humiliation; what saddens me is your silent suffering and burden on your own!
If I had taken that brave step sooner, if I had rushed to you sooner, then those terrible and malicious rumors would not have been able to harm you in the slightest. But I, who was the one who could have saved you, was the last one to arrive.
Ah Heng, do you understand how much I hate and regret?
152 Little Aheng's tragic childhood! The wet nurse was cunning!
Updated: 2013-07-05 14:56:14 Word Count: 6631
The Princess visited Mu Yunhe. Upon learning that her son had stood up for Luo Zhiheng, she was both shocked and delighted. Regardless, seeing her son improve day by day was the greatest joy for her. As for Luo Zhiheng, since she had helped Mu Yunhe recover, why wouldn't the Princess reciprocate? She even bestowed upon Luo Zhiheng a large amount of jewelry, supposedly to celebrate her victory. However, judging from the considerable shock on the Princess's face, she was even more astonished by Luo Zhiheng's triumph.
But the reward was real, and it made Luo Zhiheng so happy she was practically fuming. She even forgot to finish feeding Mu Yunhe.
Mu Yunhe scolded her for a long time with a stern face, but Luo Zhiheng was not angry. She teased Mu Yunhe all the way and fed him dinner, making Mu Yunhe's ears turn red. He kept looking at her with the whites of his eyes.
Neither of them mentioned their previous inexplicable argument, but it miraculously vanished from their relationship, disappearing without a trace of resentment. Moreover, there seemed to be a greater understanding and tolerance between them—a sign of growth.
That evening, Mu Yunhe and Luo Zhiheng began to reward those who had contributed. The assassination attempt on the family had enraged the Princess, but Luo Zhiheng was quicker to react than the Princess. By the time the Princess arrived in a fit of rage, Luo Zhiheng had already swiftly and decisively resolved the situation. The Princess held Luo Zhiheng in even higher regard, feeling that this child was destined for good fortune.
"Seven Bowls performed very well this time, holding the last line of defense, but you must pay attention to the methods next time. Although protecting Mu Yunhe is important, you are equally important. You must protect your own lives, understand? Seven Bowls, is there anything you want? Tell me, and your young lady will do her best to make it happen for you." Luo Zhiheng, who was always fair in rewarding and punishing, sat down next to Mu Yunhe and smiled.
Qi Wan blushed the whole time, feeling embarrassed by the praise, but still scratched his head and said, "Miss, I don't really want anything, I just want to keep following you."
Luo Zhiheng was quite satisfied; look at how popular she was! But Qi Wan immediately muttered, "Following Miss means I get to eat, and I can even eat my fill."
Luo Zhiheng nearly fell over, Xiao Xizi burst out laughing, and Mu Yunhe also couldn't help but chuckle. She pointed at the seven bowls and asked, "So you followed me just so you could have enough to eat? My heart is broken."
Qi Wan was so frightened that he waved his hands hurriedly and stammered that he could not speak clearly.
Luo Zhiheng stopped teasing her and laughed, "Alright, as a reward, you can tell the kitchen whatever you want to eat from now on, and it will be as plentiful as you like. All expenses will be covered by your young lady. As for Xiao Xizi, he did a good job this time, bravely protecting his mistress. Although he's a bit clumsy, he's loyal. How about I reward you with one hundred taels of silver?"
Little Xizi's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice. One hundred taels of silver! Enough for him to buy lots and lots of glutinous rice cakes. Little Xizi's secret was that he loved glutinous rice cakes the most.
Luo Zhiheng did not reward the wet nurse. After distributing the rewards according to merit, she dismissed everyone but kept the wet nurse. This time, she did not avoid Mu Yunhe. For some reason, she felt there was no need to hide this from Mu Yunhe. They were now able to support and encourage each other and needed more trust.
"Nanny, is there anything you want to say to me?" Luo Zhiheng asked with a smile. The nanny's unusual nature was already obvious, but Luo Zhiheng had been too busy these past few days; her first priority was to confirm that the nanny was beneficial and harmless to her.
The wet nurse remained calm and composed: "What does Miss want to know? I will tell Miss everything I know." 14.
"Who are you?" Luo Zhiheng asked bluntly. Beside her lay a tigress, a woman of extraordinary martial arts skills. How could she not be surprised? With such abilities, what couldn't she do? Why did she choose to become her wet nurse?
“This servant is Miss’s person,” the wet nurse said with a smile. Seeing Luo Zhiheng’s confusion, she quickly added, “Miss is your mother!”
Luo Zhiheng was stunned. She had become a ghost possessing Luo Zhiheng's body, but she had never seen this body's father, mother, or brother. However, she knew that Luo Zhiheng's mother had died in childbirth long ago. The wet nurse was her mother's person, so she should be reliable.
"But why do you only follow me and treat me well? Why do you ignore Luo Ningshuang?" There was also a faint sense of rejection and disgust. Luo Zhiheng had already noticed this.
The wet nurse's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Miss was cursed to death by Luo Ningshuang. If it weren't for her birth, Miss wouldn't have died, and the Luo family wouldn't be in this state now. A third-class noble? How laughable! The Luo family could be kings, and a third-class noble trying to control them is simply a pipe dream! But all of this became a reality because of Luo Ningshuang's birth, which cursed Miss to death! It wasn't Miss who deserved to die, but Luo Ningshuang!"
The wet nurse's words were absolutely earth-shattering!
Luo Zhiheng suddenly stood up and shouted, "Nanny, don't talk nonsense!"
Becoming a king? Wouldn't that make you just like Prince Mu? Although you wouldn't be as powerful as Prince Mu, a king is still someone even third-rank nobles look up to! To say such arrogant and crazy things in the royal palace is courting death!
Mu Yunhe narrowed his eyes, his calm surface masking a heart filled with disbelief and doubt.
The wet nurse stopped abruptly, but glanced at Mu Yunhe with a slightly sharp look. She shouldn't have said it, but she felt that Luo Zhiheng had grown up and become sensible. What was most gratifying was that she had matured and become so outstanding. Such a woman was now qualified to know the secrets about her mother's clan.
But Luo Zhiheng forbade her to speak, so she remained silent, only mentioning Luo Ningshuang. In front of Mu Yunhe, the wet nurse made no attempt to conceal her humiliation and laid bare Luo Ningshuang's viciousness: "Young Prince, you are a man of great fortune. Although it was by a twist of fate that you were able to marry my young lady, at least you can rest easy. If you had married that venomous Luo Ningshuang, I'm afraid the sky would have fallen from the sky of the Mu Prince's mansion."
"When the young lady was little, she often had injuries on her body, such as pinch marks or scratches that would appear out of nowhere. At first, I thought it was because she was naughty and playful, and the scratches might have been caused by cats. I even got rid of all the cats in the manor. But the young lady still had injuries. Later, I paid attention to it secretly, and one day I accidentally discovered that it was Luo Ningshuang who caused the injuries."
“I can’t be sure if it was just once, after all, Luo Ningshuang was only two or three years old at the time. But would a two or three-year-old child pinch someone again and again? And it never stopped, and she even knew to pinch the most private parts of the young lady. I find it unbelievable. At that time, although the general didn’t like Luo Ningshuang, he still gave her the second young lady some dignity. But after this incident, after I told the general, he started to pay attention himself, and as a result, we discovered something even more terrifying.” The wet nurse looked at Luo Zhiheng with heartache, her eyes were wet and her face was pale, showing that this incident still frightened her.
Mu Yunhe's relaxed nerves tensed up again. He glanced at Luo Zhiheng, then looked at the wet nurse with such sharp eyes, waiting for her to continue.
"For several years, we kept a close eye on Luo Ningshuang. After all, she was still a child, but sometimes the way she looked at the young lady was filled with hatred! She was only a few years old, as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. At least her twin sister, the young lady, only knew how to eat, sleep, and play at that age. But Luo Ningshuang was different. She seemed to be born with a strong aura of malevolence and resentment. When she opened her eyes, she didn't cry, but laughed, and her laughter had a very tragic feel to it. The expression on the face of an infant who hadn't fully developed looked terrifying, like a ghost. And because her young lady died in childbirth, the general naturally didn't love her."
"That day, the general was heartbroken and even wanted to kill this ghostly infant Luo Ningshuang, but she was, after all, his own flesh and blood, so he held back. But he could tolerate her living, yet he couldn't bear her existence. So he ignored her for so many years. So we've been wondering, did this child know that her father didn't love her, which is why she tried to poison the young lady who knew nothing? But how could she understand?"
"Later, they both grew a bit older. The two sisters were very close when they were little. The eldest young lady would give Luo Ningshuang anything good she had, but she would still often have injuries. We tried to stop them from being together, but for some reason, the eldest young lady would always inexplicably run off with Luo Ningshuang. However, the most hateful thing was that time by the pond in the garden, I saw with my own eyes Luo Ningshuang push the eldest young lady into the pond!" The nanny said, her face still pale and trembling.
Mu Yunhe's pupils constricted, and he abruptly fixed his gaze on Luo Zhiheng, as if she were currently drowning. A deep sense of heartache welled up in his eyes.
"A six or seven-year-old child would push me into the pond?" Luo Zhiheng was also shocked. Was this malice innate? Could such a young child really do such a thing?
"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes. The day you disappeared, I led people to search everywhere, but just as we passed the artificial hill, we saw this scene. It was definitely Luo Ningshuang who deliberately pushed the young lady into the water. She was standing by the pond, quietly watching the young lady scream and struggle in the water, without even asking for help. It was already late autumn, and the pond water was icy cold. When I jumped in and pulled the young lady out, she was almost dead. It was only thanks to the general finding the imperial physician that the young lady's life was saved," the wet nurse said, still shaken.
She glanced at Mu Yunhe again and, seeing his pale face, felt relieved. She knew she had a purpose in saying all this. Mu Yunhe was simply too handsome, and now that he was in front of everyone, he would inevitably become someone others wanted to curry favor with. Once Mu Yunhe's health improved, it was inevitable that some people would cling to him like glue.
Of all the women, the one that worried the mother the most was Luo Ningshuang! She knew perfectly well why Luo Zhiheng had married Mu Yunhe. It was entirely Luo Ningshuang's doing. Luo Ningshuang was shrewd; she didn't want to be a widow, so she sent her own sister to her death. But man proposes, God disposes. The young prince met the eldest daughter, and good fortune smiled upon him; his misfortune turned into good fortune.
So Mu Yunhe is now a piece of meat, who knows if Luo Ningshuang will get jealous and cause some trouble? If that thing wants to snatch Mu Yunhe back, what will happen to her young lady? The wet nurse is already instilling in Mu Yunhe the idea that Luo Ningshuang is a femme fatale, so that Mu Yunhe won't be bewitched by Luo Ningshuang.
Luo Ningshuang always pretends to be weak and pitiful, doesn't she? Her young lady can be delicate too!
Undeniably, Mu Yunhe was shocked by his wet nurse's memories, but he also felt considerable anger and pain. His feelings towards Luo Ningshuang intensified, even bordering on murderous intent.
Luo Zhiheng rubbed her forehead and said, "Could it be that she was careless?" She couldn't imagine that a six or seven-year-old child could have such a vicious mind. Was she a reincarnated demon?
“No, the general has grown to dislike her more and more because of her wickedness since childhood, and now he even loathes her. Luo Ningshuang is too scheming. Every time, it is the young lady who suffers, but in the end, outsiders always say that you are bullying her, and she becomes the victim. Once or twice, we might feel sorry for her, but every time it is like this, don’t you think it’s too strange?” the wet nurse retorted.
Luo Zhiheng was speechless. She had never liked Luo Ningshuang, and this time she was even more furious. Clenching her fist, she sneered, "Fine! Now that you know about my tragic childhood, you can't forgive Luo Ningshuang even more! This time I'll take back everything, including the principal and interest. Both dowries are in my hands. I'll make sure she's bankrupt and vomits blood!"
“That’s right. Without her dowry, she has nothing left. Plus, she foolishly made a bet with you, so this time she’s going to lose everything.” The wet nurse laughed as well.
“But wet nurse, you seem to be interrupting me. I asked about your identity.” Luo Zhiheng brought the topic back.
The wet nurse solemnly said, "I am your mother's person, and I am also your person. I will only be loyal to you for the rest of my life. Even your father has no right to control me. As for Luo Ningshuang, she should have been my mistress, but she didn't want me and chose someone else. I don't like her either, so it has nothing to do with her. If you ever want to know anything about your mother, Miss, you can come and ask me. However, you must get your dowry back as soon as possible. The most important thing in it is what your mother left you."
"A treasure?" Luo Zhiheng's eyes lit up.
