Leading her maids back to her room, Su Li washed up, then sent them all to rest.
Su Li stared at the lamplight, lost in thought.
For her to treat Jun Hui’s wounds?
This was truly the funniest joke she had ever heard!
Who else in this world wished for Jun Hui’s death more than she did?
Should she feed him poison or poison then?
If she accidentally, carelessly, killed him in the process, the Minister’s Estate would probably cease to exist.
What could be more galling than treating the wounds of her own enemy?
"What are you thinking about, so deeply engrossed?"
A gentle voice interrupted Su Li’s thoughts.
Su Li turned around to see Jun Mo walking towards her.
Su Li exclaid in surprise: "Why are you here?"
He had been coming during the day lately, why had he switched back to sneaking in through the window at night?
Jun Mo frowned, saying: "Why isn’t your hair dry? What if you get sick?"
Su Li chuckled: "I have dical skills."
"Even with dical skills, you can still get sick. You’re not an immortal. Even if your dicine is good, you’ll still suffer."
Su Li always felt her hair was too thick and long; every ti she washed it, she was too lazy to dry it.
Jun Mo walked over, picked up the towel she had left aside, and naturally began drying her hair with gentle movents.
Su Li’s body stiffened. "I can do it myself."
Jun Mo chuckled: "We’re an engaged couple, Li’er. Are you shy?"
Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Su Li no longer hesitated and allowed him to dry her hair.
"What do you make of the assassin incident?"
Jun Mo scoffed, his voice still gentle and pleasant: "This prince is increasingly impressed by him. If that sword had been a fraction of an inch off, he would have died."
Su Li touched her strands of hair and said: "If it wasn’t dangerous enough, how would the Emperor believe it? And how would he make the Emperor take him seriously?"
Jun Mo chuckled: "Indeed, Imperial Father is very anxious about him."
Su Li sighed: "Truly cunning, it’s so frustrating."
Jun Mo saw that her hair was dry and put down the towel.
His hand, however, playfully twirled a strand of her hair.
"Then while he’s in a coma for these few days, we’ll dismantle all his properties!"
Su Li chuckled softly. This was truly hitting him while he was down.
She wondered what kind of expression he would have when he woke up and learned his properties were utterly destroyed.
"The Emperor wants to enter the palace tomorrow to examine him."
Jun Mo’s face fell, and he said coldly: "Imperial Father is getting senile, isn’t he? You are my Princess Consort, not an Imperial Physician."
Su Li smiled faintly. Only he dared to speak such treasonous words.
She looked up at him, reached out, and tugged at her own hair, trying to retrieve the strand he was holding.
She got her hair back, but her hand was enveloped by his large hand.
She struggled several tis but couldn’t pull free, so she simply gave up.
"Tell , should I add sothing extra to that dicine?"
Jun Mo played with her small hand, gently squeezing it one mont, lightly tickling it the next. Finally, looking at the crescent moon shape at her fingertips, his lips curved slightly. "You are my future Princess Consort, and I am close with the Crown Prince. For Consort Yun to agree to let you examine her son, it must not be that simple. Tomorrow, when you treat him, it’s best to have several Imperial Physicians present. Li’er, don’t be impulsive. Proceed cautiously."
Su Li was startled.
She had indeed been too eager for quick results.
Just imagine, an enemy lying unconscious on a bed, utterly defenseless. If she could, she wished she could stab him.
Su Li tutted and sighed: "What a pity, what a pity."
Jun Mo said: "What’s the rush? This way is much more interesting."
Su Li stood up and withdrew her hand. This ti, Jun Mo didn’t hold on tightly.
"It’s late, you should go back."
Jun Mo stood up and said: "Alright, Imperial Father has ordered to find the assassin. For the next few days, I’ll just go through the motions. This is also a good opportunity to dismantle so of Jun Hui’s properties. I might be busy, so if you need anything, just tell Moyun."
Su Li narrowed her beautiful eyes and said: "Your Highness, has anyone ever told you that you are very insidious?"
Jun Mo burst out laughing.
Su Li stepped forward, intending to cover his mouth.
"Why are you laughing so loudly! Do you want to wake up those maids?!"
Jun Mo embraced the beauty who threw herself into his arms and said: "No one has ever called insidious, only that this prince is suprely intelligent and exceptionally astute."
After speaking, he planted a firm kiss on Su Li’s cheek, released her, and then swung out of the window.
Su Li touched her face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Was this still the gentle and amiable, pure as a breeze and bright as the moon, Prince Jing? He was an utter rogue!
Early the next morning, Su Li accompanied her father into the palace.
The Emperor looked at Su Li and said: "Changning, this ti I can only rely on you again. If you cure Old Six, I will bestow lavish rewards upon you."
Su Li did not ask such nonsense as what if she couldn’t cure him, but nodded and replied: "This subject will do her utmost!"
Su Li entered with several Imperial Physicians, including Chief Imperial Physician Qiu, which Su Li had personally requested.
With so many Imperial Physicians watching, if sothing were to happen to Jun Hui later and she was accused of causing it, all these Imperial Physicians would be implicated.
It would be impossible to wrongfully accuse her in front of so many highly skilled Imperial Physicians, unless the accuser’s dical skills surpassed hers and those of all the Imperial Physicians present.
When Su Li entered, she saw Jun Hui lying there, his face ashen.
Such a scholarly and refined face, such a hypocritical face!
"County Princess?"
Su Li ca back to her senses and chuckled: "Uncle Qiu, you can just call Li’er."
Chief Imperial Physician Qiu nodded and said: "Li’er, let us begin."
Su Li nodded, stepped forward, took Jun Hui’s pulse, and then examined his wound.
She couldn’t help but feel admiration.
A person who could gamble with their life was truly a madman!
She had already decided last night: since she couldn’t take the opportunity to kill him or tamper with him, she would treat him as quickly as possible!
Every extra day he lay here, the Emperor would show him more affection, and that was sothing she didn’t want to see!
Half an hour later, Su Li erged.
Consort Yun had arrived at so point and quickly asked: "How is he?"
Su Li glanced at her and said: "I have already perford acupuncture on His Highness. Take this prescription to get the dicine. The prescription has been reviewed by all the Imperial Physicians. Decoct this dicine and take it orally three tis a day. He will wake up by tonight at the latest. I will return tomorrow."
Consort Yun looked at the Imperial Physicians, and they all nodded in agreent.
The Emperor imdiately ordered soone to get the dicine according to the prescription, then rewarded Su Li with so jewelry and ornants before sending soone to escort her out of the palace.
