No need to say a word, because Divine Doctor Mo’s medical skill is indeed excellent. Doctor Wu treat Xiao Tianyao’s legs according to Divine Doctor Mo’s treatment plans. Xiao Tianyao’s legs didn’t improve, but at least it also didn’t get worst.
After half a month, Lin Chujiu’s injuries get better. She can now perform some light works. Third Prince Xiao Zian’s condition also improves a lot. So, only Xiao Tianyao’s condition didn’t have any improvement.
Because of this, Doctor Wu felt pressured. So, every time he goes to Lin Chujiu to change her wound dressings. He tried saying a word or two. Hoping Lin Chujiu would express some concern to her husband, but… …
Lin Chujiu only acted like she didn’t hear anything. As if she totally doesn’t care whether Xiao Tianyao lives or die.

Xiao Tianyao’s legs didn’t have any improvement. But, the palace doesn’t have any plan to wait for him to recover. Rather, the emperor doesn’t want to waste this great opportunity.
And so, after the Emperor successfully took away Divine Doctor Mo, to make sure that Xiao Tianyao will not recover. And after his beloved son’s condition improved. The emperor uses his energy to wipe Xiao Tianyao’s army and continues pursuing the corruption that happens to the dead soldier’s pension.
In addition to that, the army’s food supplies suddenly got empty. So, the problem in the military got even worse. Fortunately, Xiao Tianyao’s soldiers didn’t get affected by this problem. But because of that, who would say that he was not involved?
So, with the emperor’s quick action and Lin Xiang’s careful planning. A large number of military officers appeared in front of the emperor to be impeached. These people didn’t mention Xiao Tianyao’s name even once, but nine out ten of them are Xiao Tianyao’s confidant.
And according to the law, if these people were proven convicted. Xiao Tianyao won’t be able to escape the royal punishment.
In addition to this impeachment issue, rumors about Xiao Tianyao’s corruption and brutality started spreading again. Even the big commotion that the group of scholar students had caused in front of Xiao w.a.n.gfu before had been brought out. Lin Xiang was a.s.signed to verify this accusation. But, after careful investigation. Who would have thought that the result will be far worse than that?
This result came out not because of Lin Xiang’s power, but because Lin Xiang was able to deal with it in time. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu were so busy to pull up a good show to cover their own charges, that’s why n.o.body notices anything. Thankfully, Lin Xiang was able to find a loophole.
*
Right now, everything they had planned has vanished. The rumors keep spreading day by day. So more or less, Xiao Tianyao won’t had a chance to reopen this case. And as for Lin Chujiu?
She doesn’t care whether Xiao Tianyao lives or dies. And if Xiao Tianyao had died at that time, she might have been freed from all of this trouble a bit more early.
The emperor pressures them more and more because he doesn’t want to give Xiao Tianyao an opportunity. And so, the situation got more and more unfavorable for Xiao Tianyao. So in these past two days, Su Cha’s eyebrows didn’t get straight.
“w.a.n.gye, this time, the emperor’s suppression become more and more ruthless. If this continues, we won’t have any place to go.” Su Cha walked all day to change the court’s mind. So, he knows about it more clearly.
Liu Bai also said with a calm face: “w.a.n.gye, if your military confidants fall to the emperor’s plan, we will not only lose their support, but we will also lose their heart.”
Under great pressure, loyal people will change. If that happens, who else will be loyal to Xiao Tianyao?
“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao nodded his head and said.
Seeing Xiao Tianyao’s emotionless face, Su Cha anxiously said: “w.a.n.gye, you have to make a decision.” If they won’t fight back, only death will await them.
“Let benw.a.n.g think again.” If they didn’t hear these words, they wouldn’t know how deep Xiao Tianyao’s mood is.
Su Cha still wanted to pursue this case further, but when he was about to open his mouth, Liu Bai pulled him and said: “Su Cha let’s go out for now.”

Su Cha nodded his head, but before leaving, he didn’t forget to say: “w.a.n.gye, if you don’t want to fight for yourself, at least fight for the sake of your three hundred thousand soldiers.” No matter who took over Xiao Tianyao’s confidants and soldiers, they will only end up as a cannon folder. They will be used unjustly to the battlefield.
Xiao Tianyao’s soldiers are too strong. They were so strong that’s why the other three countries and the emperor fear them.
And these soldiers are very loyal, but they were only loyal to Xiao Tianyao. That’s why even though the emperor took Xiao Tinyao’s military power. He cannot mobilize them. And because he cannot mobilize them, the emperor had used them in this conspiracy.
When Su Cha and Liu Bai left, Xiao Tianyao sits in his study room for a long while. But after that, he decided to go to see Lin Chujiu. Of course, he wanted to call Lin Chujiu over and see him, but… …
When he called one of his guard, he cannot give him the order.
He doesn’t know why, but he cannot say it.
And so, Xiao Tianyao personally went to see Lin Chujiu. Xiao Tianyao went there without notice, so when he got near their place. He heard Lin Chujiu and her servant’s conversation.
“w.a.n.gfei, today, Housekeeper Cao sent this thousand years old ginseng. He said w.a.n.gye specifically ordered him to send this so that your body will recover fast. This kind of ginseng is really rare, w.a.n.gye must have sent it because he’s really worried about you.” Zhenzhu said cheerfully. Compared to other three, she’s a little more naive, that’s why she can say those words naturally.
“Aside from this ginseng, there were lots of good stuff too. For many years, w.a.n.gye has been fighting with northern and southern countries. So, they were able to get a lot of good stuff. w.a.n.gfei can look at them later.” Shanhu also followed.
However, Feicui and Manao are a bit too old, so they can only tactfully persuade her by saying: “w.a.n.gfei, the chicken soup tonight taste really good. Do you want to eat it with w.a.n.gye tonight?”
“In these pa.s.sed few days, w.a.n.gye has been working until midnight, so maybe at this time he’s a little hungry.”
Aside from Housekeeper Cao, the four of them also tried to persuade Lin Chujiu. Hoping the two of them would have a good talk.
Because whenever Xiao Tianyao goes out, Lin Chujiu will stay inside her room. But whenever Xiao Tianyao is having his treatment, Lin Chujiu will go out in her room. Seeing this, they understand that Lin Chujiu is hiding from Xiao Tianyao. Or more likely, she’s avoiding to see Xiao Tianyao.
Even if she is the imperial consort. If she doesn’t have the support of the master of the house. She will face a lot of difficulty in this mansion. So if she will continue doing this, in the end, only her will suffer.
Lin Chujiu knows this very well, that’s why she tried compromising before. But, what was the result ah?
Xiao Tianyao is a selfish man, that’s why he still doesn’t believe her. So, even if she follows his orders a bit more, it will only be useless.
In front of those maidservant’s eager eyes, Lin Chujiu couldn’t afford to refuse. So, she only said: “Tomorrow, this ginseng’s taste will become bad, so give it now to w.a.n.gye to drink.”
This is a disguised rejection.
So, when the four maidservants heard it, all of them exposed a helpless look in their face. After getting along with her for two months, they learned that their w.a.n.gfei is an easy going person. She is not an opinionated person, rather she listens to other people’s words. And if she can do something, she will really do it without any hesitation.
So it can be said that their w.a.n.gfei had changed.
When Xiao Tianyao heard Lin Chujiu’s answer from outside her place. He can’t understand why his heart suddenly felt in pain. As if a big hand suddenly grab his heart and crus.h.i.+ng it bit by bit. It doesn’t seem fatal, but still, it’s very painful… …
