Since Li Yu decided that he wanted to help Liang-shi, he didn’t want to make Liang-shi make another trip. Immediately he pulled Jing-wang along and headed back to request an audience with the Emperor.
After the Emperor learned that Li Yu wanted to help Liang-shi, he felt very flabbergasted. However, remembering how the wangfei had educated his sons, he felt like this was expected from the kindhearted Li Yu.
“He wants to do this, what about you?” The Emperor asked Jing-wang, also wanting to know Jing-wang’s opinion.
Jing-wang nodded, expressing his support for Li Yu.
Currently, the Emperor was happy to grant the wishes of the Jing couple: “Since it’s like this, I will allow it.” The Emperor was originally going to warn them of something, but after thinking some more, he shut his mouth.
Li Yu quickly brought the news to Liang-shi. Liang-shi was afraid that Imperial Guards might obstruct her way and begged Li Yu to go together with her. Li Yu hesitated briefly, then thought: since he started this, he might as well finish it to the end. After obtaining Jing-wang’s approval, they went to the front of the tent that was holding the 6th Prince.
Taking another step forward was definitely impossible. Li Yu was very careful himself. Plus, it wasn’t he who was visiting the 6th Prince anyways.
Liang-shi gave a thousand thanks and entered the tent.
Seeing the completely dirty Mu TianXiao(6), who had his arms and legs shackled , Liang-shi started shedding tears from her swollen eyes again.
“SuYun, how did you get here?” As soon as Mu TianXiao saw his wife, he was overjoyed by the surprise. The guards responsible for watching him originally didn’t allow him to see anyone. Why would Liang-shi appear here? Did this signify that the Emperor had softened?
“Did father let you come? Has he forgiven me?” Mu TianXiao(6) asked urgently.
“It was myself. I went to beg Jing-wang and Jing-wangfei for help so that I could obtain father’s approval.” Terrified that the 6th Prince would be displeased, Liang-shi explained timidly.
“Jing-wang again?” As soon as Mu TianXiao heard Jing-wang’s name, his expression immediately changed. Pushing away his wife’s hands in irritation, he said: “You could have begged anyone else, why did you have to beg him! Don’t you know it was him who did this to me?!”
In terms of his failure, the 6th Prince had pondered extensively and felt like he had fallen into Jing-wang’s plot. The Emperor only observed him closely because he had listened to Jing-wang’s slander and lies. The 6th Prince pushed all of the blame on Jing-wang.
Liang-shi wiped away her tears, not knowing how to answer. Should she tell the 6th Prince that currently, there was no one else willing to help them?
Already imprisoned, Mu TianXiao(6) can’t be bothered with continuing his pretense. He cursed out Jing-wang’s entire family loudly, not even letting off Jing-wang’s young sons, insulting them as unpleasantly as possible.
After cursing enough, he seemed to have finally remembered something and turned his head to look at Liang-shi. His tone returned to being gentle.
“SuYun, don’t cry anymore.” He reached out and helped Liang-shi wipe away her tears, saying expectantly: “Since you came, can you help me plead with father? For the sake of the child in your stomach, he will definitely let me out. I promise I will treat you well in the future.”
Liang-shi heard him promise nonstop, yet his face was covered by a fake smile that had no warmth at all. She felt a wave of sharp pain in her heart. How had she fallen for the 6th Prince’s deception previously?
This husband, who always looked gentle and kind, clearly only had himself in his heart.
Li Yu and Jing-wang stood right outside of the tent. When the 6th Prince was cursing nonstop inside, they also heard it.
Jing-wang originally didn’t care about getting insulted. However, once the 6th Prince started to insult Xiao Yu and even the kids, Jing-wang’s expression turned dark as he squeezed his sword tightly.
“TianChi, you better not!” Li Yu hastily grabbed Jing-wang’s arm.
When he heard the 6th Prince insult his children and hubby, Li Yu practically wished nothing more than to beat the 6th Prince black and blue. However, seeing Jing-wang about to teach the 6th Prince a lesson, he knew that this was really not acceptable.
Mu TianXiao was already the Emperor’s prisoner. It wasn’t appropriate to beat him up out here, right in the eyes of the public. With Jing-wang’s current position, playing tricks was fine; personally doing it himself was definitely unnecessary. Not to mention, it would make the Emperor suspicious again.
In a small voice, Li Yu whispered to Jing-wang a few methods that could make the 6th Prince suffer. After Jing-wang finished listening, he looked at Li Yu, who was just soft hearted enough to help Liang-shi, and felt somewhat speechless.

Li Yu mischievously stuck his tongue out: “An eye for an eye. Liang-shi is unfortunate, but the 6th Prince did so many ugly things. I definitely wouldn’t forgive the 6th Prince because of her.”

The 6th Prince had ambitions for the throne. As his bedside companion, Liang-shi could see this to some extent. Before, Liang-shi had thought that husbands all had their own goals to strive for. As a wife, she actually couldn’t lend a hand anyways. Plus, what woman didn’t wish for a chance at advancement?
Because of this, even though Liang-shi didn’t participate, she also didn’t stop him. Now, Liang-shi regretted it. Regretted being enticed by the possibility back then. If she had attempted to convince the 6th Prince to live less ambitiously, how much better would that have been?
She already didn’t dare to make any unreasonable requests. She only wished to live peacefully with her husband and kids.
Liang-shi did her best to persuade the 6th Prince. The 6th Prince only opened his eyes wide in incredulousness. It’s already enough that Liang-shi refused to listen to him and help him. Why did she have to turn around and criticize him?
Didn’t she obtain her title as Wife of a Prince because of him? If he was imprisoned by the Emperor, what good would that bring her in the end?
Resentment growing in his heart, the 6th Prince had another plan now. With a cold, dark smile, he said to Liang-shi: “What you said was reasonable…… SuYun, come over here. I have another secret I want to tell you.”
Liang-shi was completely unguarded against Mu TianXiao(6). When he called her, she immediately moved over and suddenly found the chains of Mu TianXiao(6)’s shackles wrapped tightly around her neck.
“TianXiao(6), what are you doing!” Surprised and scared, Liang-shi shouted loudly in alarm.
“Don’t move.” Mu TianXiao(6) held onto her neck and coldly yelled towards the outside of the tent: “Someone come inside right now! I want to see the Emperor, or else– I’ll kill her!”
I’ll kill her!
These words completely sent the 6th Prince and Liang-shi’s relationship to the grave.
Liang-shi looked towards Mu TianXiao(6) with tears in her eyes, feeling like her heart was being slowly choked to death.
Jing-wang and Li Yu were just outside. Shocked by the sudden turn of events, they led the guards and charged inside.
Seeing the 6th Prince threatening his wife, Li Yu didn’t even know what to say.
The 6th Prince’s eyes were bloodshot, expression like a devil. He mumbled relentlessly about seeing the Emperor. A guard had already run off to report.
Li Yu saw Liang-shi struggle painfully and wanted to help. However, he was also afraid of the 6th Prince becoming vicious and really hurting Liang-shi.
“Mu TianXiao(6), are you still human? She’s your wife. She has your child in her stomach!”
Li Yu felt extreme injustice for Liang-shi. Why was he always encountering things more unbelievable than fiction?
The 6th Prince scoffed a few times, a hint of a tear seemed to flash across the corner of his eyes.
“I can’t even protect myself, what’s the point of having a wife or child?” The 6th Prince said uncaringly.
The Emperor arrived very quickly. Facing the 6th Prince’s threat, the Emperor was extremely furious.
“Mu TianXiao(6), have you gone insane? Release Liang-shi quickly!” The Emperor shouted.
“Father! You’re here. Please listen to my last words. I remember now. I didn’t actually do anything wrong. I was framed by Jing-wang! Father, you don’t know how crafty he is. Everything was all part of his plan!”
Mu TianXiao(6) did his best to explain himself. Jing-wang listened to the side, lofty and unmoving. After the Emperor finished listening, he only shook his head in disappointment.
“Enough, TianXiao(6). Wasn’t framing Concubine Lu your idea? Didn’t you get Physician Pan involved in all of this? Weren’t you the one who sent your subordinate into the Jing Estate to steal Bao#1’s blood? Are you saying all of this was something that Jing-wang had forced you to do?”
Mu TianXiao was stunned: “Father……”
Why was the Emperor even aware of him sending his subordinate to obtain blood?
In a split moment, Mu TianXiao(6) felt enlightened. He suddenly figured everything out. So Jing-wang had known from that time and guessed what he planned to do already.
How hilarious. Just when he thought he had seized the other’s weakness, his opponent was already waiting for him to walk directly into the trap himself!
“Father, all of this was really Jing-wang’s plot against me!” Mu TianXiao(6) furiously wanted to expose Jing-wang.
“Enough.” The Emperor interrupted him coldly: “Why would I believe someone who wouldn’t even show mercy to his own wife, and not believe in Jing-wang?”
“TianXiao(6), there’s a sentence that you often say to escape from my punishment. Today, I bestow it back onto you.”
“All of this is only your ‘one-sided story’”
“Father……” Stunned, Mu TianXiao(6) actually started laughing wildly, as if the Emperor was telling a joke. After laughing, he gnashed his teeth in anger.
“Pei! Aren’t you just biased towards Jing-wang? You have never believed me!” The 6th Prince spat and stared at Jing-wang with the gaze of an imprisoned beast. He also stared at the Emperor the same way.
The Imperial Guards had circled behind him. With the handle of a blade, a guard swung at the back of the 6th Prince’s neck.
The 6th Prince howled at the top of his lungs at the same time: “What are you waiting for!”
Li Yu: !!!
Li Yu realized from Mu TianXiao(6)’s sudden words that the 6th Prince’s hidden accomplice must be somewhere within the vicinity. Someone had already borrowed the chaos to pull out a dagger and stab towards the Emperor. This was the 6th Prince’s final act.
Used only when it was most necessary. A frantic strike towards the person that he hated the most.
Mu TianXiao(6) hated his birth, and hated Jing-wang, who stole his everything. However, the person that he hated the most in the end was the person who had never liked him from the start, who still disregarded him no matter how much effort he had spent trying to gain his favor- his father.
He knew the Emperor wouldn’t kill him. However, he couldn’t take it anymore. He didn’t want to return to being the transparent him back then.
At this moment, Li Yu was the closest to the Emperor. He subconsciously pushed the Emperor aside. However, he didn’t have any time to dodge himself and accidentally exposed himself in front of the dagger.
Xiao Yu–!
A myriad of sounds roared out of Jing-wang’s chest. Pulling out his sword, he anxiously charged over.
Time seemed to have frozen in this instance.
Li Yu closed both of his eyes in terror.
A whistle of air flew past his ears. There was also a cacophony of voices.
He waited for a while. There was no pain.
Li Yu opened his eyes once again. A servant stood right in front of him with a dagger in hand. The pointy end of the dagger was only a finger’s width away from him.
With a clank, the dagger fell to the ground.
Jing-wang’s sword had already pierced through this person’s chest from the back.
Jing-wang had saved him!
“TianChi, I’m fine!” Li Yu yelled excitedly.
Jing-wang pulled out the sword coldly and kicked this servant to the side. He caught Li Yu, who had pounced over, within his arms.
The 6th Prince was pressed to the ground by a group of imperial guards, unable to move. Liang-shi had already been saved and was watching all of this in horror.
It was hard to imagine that in the end, he didn’t even manage to touch the Emperor’s dragon robes. The 6th Prince was extremely despondent.
He suddenly saw a palace beauty standing in the crowd of onlookers. This person’s face was lovely, like a celestial fairy from a painting. His indifferent yet exquisitely charming eyes quietly observed everything.
Mu TianXiao(6) looked at this person avidly. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered who this was.
This was the Emperor’s new favorite, Chu-Guiren. A chess piece that he had sent to the Emperor’s bed personally, one of his people!
Yu-er, help me……
Laying on the ground, Mu TianXiao(6) begged wordlessly.
He still had hope. Right now, Chu YanYu was his last hope.
Chu YanYu seemed to have also seen him as well, giving him a smile from far away that was filled with the same docile meekness of their youth. Then, Chu YanYu took all of his hope, turned and left mercilessly, without looking back.
After the shocking scene, the Emperor wasn’t harmed. However, towards the 6th Prince who dared to try assassinating him, the Emperor was no longer as courteous as before.
Mumbled “just kill me” repeatedly, Mu TianXiao(6) was trussed up completely by the guards and dragged off.
Liang-shi sat on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
“TianChi!” Li Yu hugged Jing-wang tightly. Just now he was really extremely afraid.
At that time, he had figured out the target was the affectionate grandpa of the kids, the Emperor, who was also Jing-wang’s father.
The 6th Prince’s assassination was too sudden. Other than trying to save a life, there was pretty much no time to think about anything else.
Jing-wang didn’t blame Li Yu for his recklessness. Instead, he only embraced him and rubbed his head briefly.
Li Yu keenly discovered that Jing-wang’s face color didn’t seem too right.
“What’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?” Li Yu asked in concern.
Jing-wang really looked unwell. Gently releasing Li Yu, he pressed a hand to his chest.
Li Yu has never seen him gasp for breath so harshly before. Jing-wang suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently. Black colored blood seeped out from between his fingers.
“TianChi, what’s wrong with you!” Li Yu was frightened stiff.
Wait so ogshou might just wipe his hands clean of everything and live a lavish life as a favoured concubine? I mean I get that he just did things for love and he was punished after the attempted drugging but also…I can’t help hating him because of the original novel where he made Jing-wang completely heartless by the end of it. Maybe I’m needlessly cruel for wanting him to crumble alongside the other villains (although he’s more of a cannon fodder) but like…at least make the emperor realise the drunk scheme? Anyway thanks for the chapters!
Yess agreed, at least the emperor have to find the truth about that drunk scheme
I cannot with this cliffhanger!!!
I- WHATS WRONG WITH OUR MAN????? WAS HE STABBED??? POISONED??? 👁👄👁 currently im still suspecting his wetnurse was forced to ingest poison or smthing that our highness then drank trhough the milk and he became mute???

OMG NOOOOO. TIANCHI!!!
okay so here’s my theory, I’ve been thinking about it for awhile. they said 6th prince’s mother was jing-wang’s servant before right? she’s def the final boss I think she is the one responsible for the muteness. she clearly is willing to to anything to climb up, why wouldn’t she teach her son the same? and just now tianchi shouted out when Li Yu was about to get stabbed that’s gotta be what triggered this sickness
thanks for the chapter 🙂
