Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 131 – Reward Granted By The Third Princess

“Fourth Miss, what are you doing? This handkerchief belongs to our Miss!” Without time to consider anything else at this time, Shufei grabbed Wei Yuewu’s handkerchief out of Wei Qiufu’s hand and looked at Wei Qiufu with hostility.

“I’m… I’m just…” Wei Qiufu certainly couldn’t say that she wanted to see if Wei Yuewu really spat blood. She became nervous and found an excuse, “I just wanted to see how severely Sixth Younger Sister was injured!”

“Sixth Young Lady was seriously injured, and the blood was definitely spat out by her just now. If Fourth Young Lady doesn’t believe me, you can send someone to check it out.” When they were in a mess in the inner room, imperial doctor Chen heard it in the wing room. The moment he came in, he saw Wei Qiufu’s actions, and he immediately mocked her.

These words were extremely rude and targeted at Wei Qiufu’s intentions. Being debunked so bluntly, Wei Qiufu blushed and she couldn’t even say a word.

The Third Princess calmed down and looked at Wei Qiufu coldly. A trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes. However, she had always been good at controlling herself, so the expression on her face was not obvious. Her own imperial doctor had also followed her here, and he went into the inner room one step behind imperial doctor Chen.

Seeing imperial doctor Chen coming forward, the Third Princess quietly made a pause gesture with her hand, so her imperial doctor did not go forward.

Imperial doctor Chen did not check Wei Yuewu’s pulse. He only looked at her complexion and the trace of blood on the corner of her lips, and said anxiously, “It is anxiety and anger that caused her to spit blood and faint. Sixth Young Lady got injured repeatedly. If something goes wrong again, I’m afraid she might even lose her life.”

Hearing this, the Third Princess’ face immediately sank.

She did have her own thoughts, so she came with Wei Qiufu. Actually, she wanted to reward Wei Yuewu on behalf of Wen Tianyao so as to prevent the further development of the karma between Wen Tianyao and Wei Yuewu.

No matter what the cause was, the sword that was supposed to plunge into Wen Tianyao actually plunged into Wei Yuewu, which meant that Wen Tianyao had to be responsible for Wei Yuewu. At this time, it was exposed that Wei Yuewu had already been drugged, and she was even on the verge of death.

If the situation developed in this way, Wen Tianyao would have to interfere in the affairs of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, which was not an ordinary aristocratic family. Marquis Hua Yang was a general trusted by the Emperor and took charge of large military forces. Besides, Second Master Wei Luowu was the Minister of Rites. There were two important officials in the family. How could it be easy to interfere in affairs of such a mansion?

The Third Princess wanted to use the opportunity of granting a big reward to Wei Yuewu to conclude this matter, so that Wen Tianyao wouldn’t have to interfere in affairs of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

Unexpectedly, before she granted this reward, Wei Yuewu spat blood. At this moment, the Third Princess was a little panicked. If something really happened to Wei Yuewu, she wouldn’t be able to distance herself from this issue. In the end, Wei Yuewu was still the model of loyalty who sacrificed her own life to block sword for the Crown Prince.

Imperial doctor Chen took out a needle from the medicine chest and applied it to Wei Yuewu.

Everyone was quiet in the room. No one dared to speak loudly for fear of disturbing the imperial doctor. At this time, both the Third Princess and Wei Qiufu understood that Wei Yuewu couldn’t be in danger.

After about fifteen minutes, Imperial doctor Chen put down the medicine in his hand. Everyone could see Wei Yuewu looked a little better, but she was still lying there motionless.

The Third Princess could not tell Wei Yuewu’s condition, so she asked hurriedly, “Imperial doctor Chen, how…”

“It’s fine for the present, but … it depends on how much longer Sixth Miss Wei can continue to endure. Care must be taken not to make her angry again. If I came here a step late just now…” Imperial doctor Chen shook his head and didn’t continue, but the meaning of his words was very clear.

The imperial doctor from the mansion of the Third Princess had checked Wei Yuewu’s pulse before, and he nodded continuously to show his agreement.

“Remember, you can’t let your Miss get angry again. Otherwise, her life will be in real danger.” Imperial doctor Chen turned around and warned the two maids.

Jin Ling and Shufei kept nodding.

“It’s good that she is fine!” At this moment, the Third Princess already had the intention to leave, so she immediately stood up and said goodbye.

“Third Princess…” Wei Qiufu did not want to leave and called in a low voice. She didn’t realize until she saw the Third Princess’ cold eyes. The Madam Dowager thought highly of her in the mansion largely because she was favored by the Third Princess. If the Third Princess was displeased with her, her situation would become even more difficult.

Thus, she did not dare to say anything else. She secretly rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, and a smile appeared on her face. “Third Princess, after I say goodbye to my Sixth Younger Sister, let’s go back and she can have a good rest.”

The Third Princess nodded.

Wei Qiufu stepped forward and said gently to Wei Yuewu whose eyes were still tightly closed, “Sixth Younger Sister, the Third Princess and I will go back now. I’ll come to see you when you feel better.”

She was only meant to be polite.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yuewu opened her eyes slightly. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Wei Qiufu, but didn’t speak out a single word. Then she coughed violently.

“Sixth Young Lady, don’t get angry. If you get sick again, then… it’ll be really awful!” Imperial doctor Chen was shocked and advised hurriedly.

As soon as the words were spoken, Wei Qiufu’s face blushed with embarrassment and hatred. A trace of malice flashed in her eyes, but she knew that this was not the right time to haggle with Wei Yuewu.

“Fourth Miss Wei, let’s go!” The Third Princess looked at what happened in front of her with a mysterious expression and said. Then she turned around and left.

Wei Qiufu bit her lips and was unable to say anything else. Then she followed the Third Princess and went out.

A large group of palace maids followed behind them and walked out.

The room immediately became quiet.

Jin Ling led them to the gate of the courtyard. When she returned, she saw that Imperial doctor Chen was checking Wei Yuewu’s pulse, so she and Shufei waited anxiously at the side.

After a while, Imperial doctor Chen put down his hand and opened his eyes.

“Imperial doctor Chen, how is our Miss?” Shufei was the first to ask.

Everyone in the room knew what had happened was just a play.

“Sixth Young Lady has been much better. After today, she can use the medicine that suits her case.” Imperial doctor Chen also heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that Wei Yuewu’s body functions were quite good and she was actually in a much better condition than yesterday. A smile appeared on his face.

“That’s great. Thank you, Imperial doctor Chen.” The two maids looked at each other almost in jubilation and said excitedly.

Imperial doctor Chen smiled and shook his head. Then he went to the wing room to give Wei Yuewu another prescription.

Everyone went out and the room suddenly became empty. Jin Ling couldn’t help but laugh, “Miss, I saw when Fourth Young Lady walked out, the Third Princess ignored her and she even chased after the Third Princess. Miss, it is a pity that you didn’t see how intimate they were when they came in.”

“Miss, Fourth Young Lady was really unwilling to give up. She came here again and wanted to make it impossible for you to refuse in the presence of the Third Princess. But now she has even offended the Third Princess!”

Wei Yuewu leaned against the pillow. After taking half of the pill and resting for a while, she was in good spirits. She raised her watery eyes and smiled. She had expected that Wei Qiufu would not eat humble pie and would definitely come to make trouble for her again.

Jin Ling suddenly remembered something. She stopped smiling and asked anxiously, “Miss, what is the Third Princess’s real intention?”

“She came here to grant a reward to me on behalf of the Crown Prince.” Wei Yuewu answered as if she knew everything.

“Why is the Third Princess so kind?” Jin Ling asked suspiciously.

Wei Yuewu gently shook her head and said quite casually, “The Third Princess rewarded me on behalf of the Crown Prince to show the grace and favor of the royal family. With the reward, even if the Crown Prince did not do anything else, no one else would say anything.”

Anything else? Jin Ling didn’t understand for a while.

As soon as she recalled something, her eyes widened and she asked with astonishment, “The Third Princess didn’t want the Crown Prince to interfere in the affairs of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?”

“It should be!” Wei Yuewu revealed a thoughtful smile.

“Then what should we do?” Jin Ling was really anxious. Causing the Crown Prince to interfere in the affairs of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was originally part of her Miss’ plan.

If the Third Princess really destroyed the plan, there would be no way to investigate the issues in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang! Without the Crown Prince’s help, no one would stand up for Miss and have the mansion find out who had drugged Miss.

“It’s fine. The Third Princess has not granted the reward yet. Did the Third Princess go back to her own courtyard or the Crown Prince’s courtyard?” Wei Yuewu asked calmly.

Jin Ling recalled the scene she had just seen with her head titled and replied, “I observed when I saw them off. She walked towards the front yard, so she should have gone to the courtyard of the Crown Prince. After following her for a while, Fourth Young Lady went back embarrassedly.”

The courtyards for women were separate from those for men. According to the overall layout of Plum Blossom Nunnery, the location of the courtyards for men were relatively peripheral, while the courtyards for women were located inside.

But after a while Jin Ling asked doubtfully, “Had the Third Princess gone to the Crown Prince’s courtyard to discuss your situation? Miss, will the Crown Prince’s reward be sent over very soon?”

“No!” Wei Yuewu shook her head. The status of the Crown Prince was much higher than the Third Princess, and the royal family had always granted high rewards to those who sacrificed themselves to protect their masters. Moreover, the Crown Prince was the future emperor of the dynasty. At that time, if the Crown Prince had brought her back to treat her, it would be reasonable for him just to grant a reward to her.

However, Yan Huaijing intervened, leaving no chance to Wen Tianyao.

Granting a reward and then turning a deaf ear to Wei Yuewu was something that the Third Princess could do. As the future emperor of the dynasty, the Crown Prince couldn’t do it so brazenly. Moreover, his “savior” was now on the verge of death…

“Jin Ling, just wait and see!” Wei Yuewu said with a relaxed voice, “What I need to do now is to get recovered.”

Wei Qiufu had landed her in such a situation. If the Crown Prince supported her, even if the Madam Dowager wanted to play the matter down, she wouldn’t succeed; nor would she be able to vent her anger on Wei Yuewu!

Killing two birds with one stone was not something that only Wei Qiufu could do…

What she would do next was to see how massive the waves would be in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang…

In the study room of the Crown Prince Wen Tianyao’s courtyard.

“Third Younger Sister, you don’t have to interfere in this matter. I have my own plans.” After listening to the Third Princess’ gentle explanation, Wen Tianyao raised his head and said with deep thoughts.

“Brother, Marquis Hua Yang is an important official favored by His Majesty. If you interfere now, will it cause His Majesty’s misunderstanding?” The Third Princess frowned and asked uneasily.

Even though the Crown Prince would be the future ruler of the country, he was not the emperor right now. The people of the royal family deeply understood that a country couldn’t have two rulers at the same time.

“It’s fine. I’ve already sent someone to report the matter to His Majesty. He has given me full authority to deal with it.” Seeing this Third Younger Sister worrying about him, Wen Tianyao’s heart warmed up and he comforted her gently.

Compared with his own younger sister, the Fourth Princess, who had always been a troublemaker, he felt that the gentle Third Princess who was his half-sister was even closer to him in terms of blood relationship.

“Since you have made this decision, I will not say anything else. I had wanted to help you deal with this matter, but I didn’t expect that Sixth Miss Wei would faint from anger when she saw Fourth Miss Wei.” The Third Princess shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

“Sixth Miss Wei got very angry when she saw Fourth Miss Wei?” Wen Tianyao asked without showing much concern.

“Yes, Sixth Miss Wei was so angry that she spat blood.” The Third Princess reached out and pinched the handkerchief in her hand. She smiled softly and said, “What happened that day was really strange. Since Fourth Miss Wei misunderstood Sixth Miss Wei, it is normal for Sixth Miss Wei to hold grudges against Fourth Miss Wei.”

In other words, Wei Qiufu might be ill-intentioned and Wei Yuewu was too narrow-minded.

“Alright, I understand. You can go back and rest now! I’ll handle this matter.” Wen Tianyao said gently with more deep thoughts in his eyes. Mansion of Marquis Hua Yang? Actually, he had always wanted to interfere, but he was also afraid of arousing the suspicion of Her Majesty. Since there was such a perfectly justifiable opportunity now, how could he let it go!
