Chapter 299 The Cat Being Instigated
Chapter 299 The Cat Being Instigated
Mu Yunting frowned and looked at Su Nuan, his eyes seemed to be blaming her.
Su Nuan immediately said innocently: "I don't know this rule either."
There are only two concubines in the Prince's Mansion, but when the two concubines entered the mansion, no one told them that there was such a rule. In fact, according to the rule, someone would inform them of this matter when the two entered the mansion, but the Prince's Mansion was in chaos on the day the two entered, and no one cared about such a small matter.
This is embarrassing. Ignorance is not a crime, and Mu Yunting can't blame Dong Jingshu, but the black cat hurt someone, and he doesn't intend to let it go.
"It's fine if you didn't know this rule before, but from today on, cats are not allowed in the mansion. This black cat hurt someone, so we can't keep it. Come on, kill this black cat."
Mu Yunting's cold voice echoed in the room, and several people's faces changed color because of his words.
Dong Jingshu cried even harder and hugged the black cat tightly and refused to let go.
Although Su Nuan doesn't keep small animals, she couldn't bear to see a cat being beaten to death.
Xun Zheng, who was standing by, turned even paler after hearing this.
"Brother Yunting, forget it. This cat is Concubine Dong's favorite. Please let it live."
"No, it hurt you so badly, we can't keep it."
"My injury is not serious."
Dong Jingshu listened to their conversation and looked at them eagerly, hoping that things would turn around.
"I said I would never let you be hurt by a cat again." Mu Yunting said in annoyance. After that, he looked at the black cat in Dong Jingshu's arms with a frighteningly cold gaze.
If looks could kill, Su Nuan believed that the black cat would have been chopped into several pieces by now.
No wonder cats are not allowed in the Prince's Mansion. It turns out that Mu Yunting promised Xun Zheng that she would not be hurt by cats. I guess it was because Xun Zheng had been hurt by a cat in the past that Mu Yunting made such a promise.
It seems that Dong Jingshu can't save the black cat's life today.
Thinking of this, Su Nuan whispered a few words to Chun Liu secretly, and then Chun Liu quietly retreated.
Just as Su Nuan expected, Mu Yunting had the black cat violently snatched away and was about to be thrown to death on the spot.
When the cat's life was hanging by a thread, Su Nuan tugged at Mu Yunting's sleeve and said lightly, "Your Highness, why don't you send someone outside to kill the cat? Miss Xun still has to live in this room."
Hearing this, Mu Yunting didn't think much about it. He just waved at the person who caught the cat, and the person left with the black cat in his arms.
A moment later, a cat's scream was heard and Dong Jingshu fell to the ground instantly, tears falling non-stop.
Su Nuan had someone help her up and send her back to Furong Courtyard.
After the storm, Imperial Physician Yao also hurried over with his little medicine boy.
When the little medicine boy walked past Su Nuan, he quietly slipped a note to her.
Su Nuan guessed that this was a note from Liao Xinyi, so she stepped aside to check the contents of the note while Doctor Yao was examining Xun Zheng's wound.
There was only a line of small words written on it: "I will return to Xiaomian County tomorrow. See you again if we are lucky!"
It is indeed Liao Xinyi's handwriting.
Su Nuan felt very uncomfortable when she saw the note. She had said that she would take the man to tour the imperial city, but she only treated him to one meal after he had been there for so many days.
He stared at the note for a while, while Doctor Yao had already treated Xun Zheng's wound.
"Don't let the wound get wet, and avoid spicy food for a few days. The wound will scab over after a few days. But some flesh has been cut off from the wound, so even if it heals, it can't return to its original state."
When Su Nuan came to her senses, she just heard Doctor Yao say this.
The image of the flesh that had been cut off suddenly became concrete in her mind, and a chill immediately rose in her heart.
The black cat pounced towards her. If she had not turned her head to look at the scenery and avoided the danger, the black cat's claws would have landed on the side of her cheek, leaving a permanent scar on her face.
The sympathy I had for the black cat just now disappeared in an instant.
Normally, cats will not hurt people unless they are provoked. But this black cat came up and grabbed people, which is very unreasonable.
Could it be that someone deliberately released that black cat to harm people?
If this is the case, then Dong Jingshu, the cat's owner, is the most suspicious.
She could indeed do such a thing.
Then her target can only be herself.
Thinking of this, Su Nuan waved to Doctor Yao's servant boy and whispered something in his ear.
"Do you really want to leave a scar?"
Xun Zheng asked in a low voice, with a chill in her voice.
"I heard that there is an ointment in Fanli Country that can heal scars. It's called Jade Face Ointment. If I can get a box of it, maybe my skin can be restored to its original state."
As soon as Doctor Yao finished speaking, Mu Yunting said with a dark face: "If a small Fanli has this medicine, why doesn't the Imperial Hospital have it?"
"Your Highness, you may not know that there is a herb in this Jade Face Cream that only grows in Fanli and its production is extremely low. It is only used by the Fanli royal family. The Imperial Hospital got some a few years ago, but it has long been used up."
Mu Yunting pondered for a moment, then turned to Xun Zheng and said, "I'll find a way to get the Jade Face Cream, don't worry."
Xun Zheng's eyes when she looked at Mu Yunting were as soft as a pool of water.
Su Nuan didn't have time to watch the two of them being so affectionate, so she said, "Your Highness, please stay here with Miss Xun. I feel a little unwell and would like to ask Doctor Yao to take a look."
"What's wrong with you?"
Mu Yunting asked nervously, "Were you scared just now?"
Su Nuan didn't expect Mu Yunting to react so strongly, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
"Your Highness, Concubine Xia has been too worried since she was confined to her room. I am currently nursing her and it is time for me to come and check her pulse in the next two days."
"In that case, let's start taking your pulse."
After Mu Yunting finished speaking, he pulled Su Nuan to sit down.
Su Nuan gently broke free of Mu Yunting's hand and said, "Your Highness, I'd better go back. Miss Xun was frightened just now and she should have a good rest."
"Okay." Mu Yunting turned to Xun Zheng and said, "Rest well today. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Afterwards, Mu Yunting took Su Nuan's hand and walked towards Duiyueju.
Doctor Yao followed behind with the little medicine boy.
When the group returned to Duoyue Residence, Mu Yunting urged Doctor Yao to take his pulse quickly.
The pulse diagnosis process was much slower than usual. Doctor Yao frowned frequently during the process, and Su Nuan's heart was in great tension.
"Doctor Yao, is there any problem?"
"No, no problem. Concubine Xia is in good health."
Su Nuan complained in her heart, how can I believe that there is nothing wrong with me when you are like this!
"Doctor Yao, just tell me what you have to say. There is no need to hide anything from me."
Imperial Doctor Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "There is really nothing wrong with Concubine Xia's health, but I have something I would like to ask you for help with."
Su Nuan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that the person had something to ask of her. She still owed Doctor Yao a favor, and now that the other party had something to ask of her was a good opportunity to repay the favor.
So he said, "What can I do for you, Doctor Yao, please tell me."
At this time, Mu Yunting's curiosity was also aroused. He sat next to Su Nuan and looked at Doctor Yao curiously.
