Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Can birthmarks on the face be treated?
During the time Chun Tao went to call the guard, Murong Jiu quickly wrote a note.
“Has Prince gone to Queer Alley to maintain order?”
She asked the guard urgently.@@@@
“To answer Princess Consort’s query, Prince indeed went to the refugee area. The Emperor has ordered Prince to manage the influx of refugees this morning, so as to prevent unrest in the Capital.”
Just as she thought.
She had just suddenly remembered that in her past life, Jun Yuyan had come back home wounded one day, and she happened to see him. She smelled the pungent odor of blood and wanted to help, but the Mansion Physician had already arrived, so she was unaware of the severity of his injuries.
...
The servants said that day there had been a disturbance among the refugees, looting and killing of the common people, and the incident was extremely serious.
Within a few days, she heard that the Second Prince had made meritorious achievements by capturing the remnants of the former dynasty, whereas Prince Ling was punished by the Emperor for his incompetence in handling the situation.
At that time, she had been happy for the Second Prince, hoping that he would receive more favor from his father, the Emperor.
Later, she learned that the remnants had been deliberately let into the Capital by the Second Prince with the intention of gaining merit.
Looking back now, she suspected that the so-called disturbance was also intentionally exacerbated by the Second Prince.
The injury Prince Ling had suffered was surely caused by the experts dispatched by the Second Prince.
Jun Haoze was such a malicious person.
Unfortunately, in her last life, she had been in a bad mood, unconcerned with the outside world and with Jun Yuyan, so she knew very little about this incident. The only thing she could do now was to warn him.
She said to the two guards, “Go and find Prince immediately and give him this note from me, then stay by his side to protect him.”
Although the guards were somewhat puzzled, Prince had instructed them that they should obey Princess Consort’s orders above all else, so they agreed and immediately left the mansion.
Murong Jiu thought he was going to ask about today’s refugee incident, and she had already prepared an excuse, but instead, Jun Yuyan said to her,
“Your master has come down from the mountain safely and will rest briefly before returning to the Capital.”
Her eyes widened with excitement, “That’s wonderful! Thank you, Prince. If you hadn’t sent someone to accompany my master into the mountains, maybe... maybe...”
She did not dare to continue. In her past life, her master must have been no longer alive; otherwise, the old man would have come to find her.
Her eyes reddened in a flash. She even feared to imagine what it would be like this time without Jun Yuyan’s help, if she had the courage to face that outcome.
Suddenly, there was a large hand on her head. She looked up in surprise as Jun Yuyan gently patted it before withdrawing his hand immediately.
The soothing pat, like an adult comforting a child, was brief, yet it brought her a sense of security.
“Prince...”
Worried she might feel offended, Jun Yuyan moved his hand behind his back and told her, “Your master will reunite with you soon; there’s no need to be sad. I heard from my men that he was thrilled to have found the medicine and wants to return to the Capital earlier to give you a big surprise.”
The same sentiment about a surprise had been mentioned in her master’s letter before. She hadn’t thought much about it then, for being able to see her master again was the biggest surprise. She had only been looking forward to her master’s quick return to the Capital.
Now, hearing the word “surprise” again, she became curious about what the surprise could be. She herself was not ill or distressed, so surely her master hadn’t gone to find medicine for her, right?
She subconsciously touched her face, then immediately negated the thought. Her master had already said that the birthmark on her face could not be cured.
It was better not to hold on to false hopes.
“Thank you for bringing me this good news, Prince. You should go to the palace now,” she said.
Jun Yuyan told her, “I should also thank you for your reminder, otherwise, I could not have captured the remnants of the former dynasty.”
“Why doesn’t Prince ask me how I knew?”,
Jun Yuyan said something that touched her deeply.
“Ah Jiu, doesn’t everyone have secrets?”
