"I originally thought that even though you’re from Jin Country, and you almost destroyed my nation, turning into a captive, at least you’re still a human, and you still have so humanity."
"I was wrong. You don’t have the slightest bit of humanity. You’re not even worthy of being called a human!"
"You—" Yun Jiao’s emotions surged to the peak, her brain deprived of oxygen, her strength exhausted, and she suddenly fainted, collapsing limply backward.
Wanyan Zhang forcefully pulled her forward at the sight, and Yun Jiao fell into his embrace.
He lowered his head, looking at the unconscious woman in his arms, his heart stinging as though pricked by needles. He touched the sweat on her forehead, picked her up horizontally, and instructed the servant, "Go call Doctor Chen, tell him to go to Qinxin Garden!"
He swiftly carried Yun Jiao into Qinxin Garden.
Yang Ying followed after him at a jog.
Earlier she didn’t dare to enter, but she heard everything from outside.
She knew Yun Jiao was pushed too far, which is why she recklessly tried to kill Wanyan Zhang.
Wanyan Zhang carried Yun Jiao into the bedroom, placed her on the bed, and sat by the bedside holding her hand.
He knew that her outburst earlier must have taken a serious toll on her body.
He also rembered a ti in his childhood when he had a similar intense argunt with his father, and it took him two days to recover.
Doctor Chen arrived quickly.
After checking Yun Jiao’s pulse, he said, "Madam has fainted due to a sudden surge of emotions beyond her capacity to endure."
"I’ll prescribe a formula, but this ntal ailnt requires a redy for the heart. She needs more guidance; otherwise, she might develop a chronic condition."
Wanyan Zhang pursed his lips tight and waved Doctor Chen to go write the prescription.
He himself sat by Yun Jiao’s side, watching her unconscious form, lost in thoughts unknown.
Doctor Chen wrote the prescription and had the pharmacy boy prepare the dicine.
The Prince Mansion has its own pharmacy, so there is no need to go outside for dicine.
Once the dicine was prepared, Yang Ying set up a small stove under the corridor and watched as the dicine was boiled.
When the dicine was ready and cooled to lukewarm, Yang Ying brought the bowl inside.
Wanyan Zhang still sat by Yun Jiao’s bedside, silent and unmoving, staring at her like a statue.
When Yang Ying ca to prop Yun Jiao up to feed her the dicine, and watched as she consud it all, Wanyan Zhang remained by the bed a while longer before leaving.
Returning to the study, Wanyan Zhang with a cold expression instructed the servant, "Go summon Chi Mu."
The servant was gone for quite so ti before bringing Chi Mu, who was not on duty today.
Chi Mu entered the study and paused in shock upon seeing Wanyan Zhang.
A ring of purple bruises encircled the Crown Prince’s neck, as if soone had strangled him.
But who would dare to strangle the Crown Prince?
Before Chi Mu could make sense of it, a whip striking down on him interrupted his thoughts, "Did I not tell you to remove her, find a quiet place, and deal with it? What did you take my words for? Huh!"
It took Chi Mu a mont to react to which matter the Prince was referring.
He kept his head down, silently enduring the lashes from Wanyan Zhang’s whip.
He had been a bit hasty that day, but to him, a person from Chu Country was no better than livestock, dood to die. Did it matter how?
Wanyan Zhang lashed him with ruthless force, tossed the whip aside, and bellowed in rage, "Get out!"
Chi Mu retreated with his head lowered.
It wasn’t until later in the evening that he heard the news — it was the girl from Chu Country he had brought into the mansion who had strangled the Prince.
It was said the Prince simply stood there, letting her strangle him.
And he not only didn’t bla the girl, but personally carried her back to her quarters.
Chi Mu thought the once wise and mighty Prince had lost his mind.
Just a woman, and a Chu woman at that — if you fancy her, indulge her for a bit; if she disobeys, give her a beating. Why place her on a pedestal?
