The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince! Chapter 1585 - 1578: The Hidden Danger
She gently caressed her belly, recalling Qin Muyan’s words, "Jingjing, bear another child for . Great Wei’s realm needs him!"
How she wished that her and Qin Muyan’s desires could co true!
Nanny Yan devotedly stood guard by Rong Yun’s side. She had thought that in such a small village, even if life was a bit difficult, there wouldn’t be any major crises. However, she never expected that a crisis had been lurking by their side for so long.
When Mr. Nie taught Rong Yun calligraphy, it was always Nanny Yan and two others guarding her, with Wei Mingze standing at the door with a knife, so everyone let their guard down around him.
It was not until one day, after he finished teaching Rong Yun calligraphy, that he went to help a villager chop firewood.
This villager was Wei Mingze’s third uncle, known to everyone in the village as Uncle Wei the Third, who often brought fresh fruits and vegetables to Rong Yun’s fenced-in garden.
After Wei Mingze enlisted in the army, he concealed his identity. Thus, the Wei Family in the village only knew that he was serving in the capital city, unaware that he was a palace guard on a mission to protect the noble Princess of the Scarlet Fla King. They rely speculated from afar that Rong Yun was perhaps a madam from a wealthy family.
Since Mr. Nie had beco a familiar resident in this place, Uncle Wei the Third didn’t take much notice and thought he rely slipped when he stumbled during the wood chopping.
But his fall was severe, and he ended up lying on the ground, unable to move.
Mr. Nie, with his scholarly deanor, imdiately squatted down to ask, "Uncle Wei, how shall we handle your injury? Let carry you on my back!"
Saying this, he turned around, allowing Uncle Wei the Third to climb onto his back.
But Uncle Wei the Third patted his slender back, "You’re a scholar, how could you carry a rough old man like ? Hurry, go quickly and call Ah Ming over!"
Seeing the frailty of Mr. Nie, he knew Mr. Nie couldn’t carry him. When he helped before, it was only after Uncle Wei had finished chopping wood that Mr. Nie would gather it up and carry the rest down the mountain for him.
These city-dwelling scholars had little strength.
Mr. Nie hesitated for a mont, then promptly said in a gentle voice, "You wait here, I will imdiately call for help."
As he turned, a glint of darkness flashed through his eyes.
He delayed for a while before returning to Rong Yun’s fenced garden. He knew that at this ti, Rong Yun’s three maidservants had all gone to do laundry and prepare als, leaving only Wei Mingze to watch over her.
He sared so dust and mud onto himself, then raced over in a panic, "Palace Guard Wei! This is bad! Hurry and check it out! I was chopping firewood with your third uncle on the mountain, and he fell down the slope, out of sight! I truly couldn’t rescue him!"
"What? Which slope?" Wei Mingze’s hand gripped the hilt of the knife, imdiately asking with concern.
"It’s on that skewed slope on the rear mountain. Uncle Wei said he wanted to catch so ga to nourish the madam’s health, but he accidentally slid down. I am really..."
Flushed with red, his scholarly face was filled with urgency and regret, making Wei Mingze even more anxious.
He took two steps forward but glanced back at the house, "No, the madam cannot be left unguarded."
Even if his third uncle’s life was in danger, he could not desert his post.
"I’ll stay here and watch over the madam for you; I’ll stand right at the door and let no one in! I’m just afraid if we wait any longer, Uncle Wei’s life will be at risk! He went to the rear mountain for the madam’s health..."
Mr. Nie’s tears were flowing, he covered his face with his sleeve, unable to contain himself.
Seeing Wei Mingze remain steadfast, not budging, Mr. Nie turned and picked up a rope from the courtyard’s millstone, "That’s it then. Even if it costs my life today, I must save Uncle Wei."
As he spoke, he rushed out, and Wei Mingze growled, "Stop!"
He turned and walked helplessly away, seeming to kneel and ask for Rong Yun’s instruction, then stepped out and locked the wooden door with a key.
His eyes sharply fixed on Mr. Nie, "Stay guard at the madam’s door, no one shall spy on or approach."
Mr. Nie put down the hemp rope in his hand and imdiately nodded, "Yes, I will make sure to guard madam well."
As soon as Wei Mingze left, the man’s face changed from educated and refined to sinister and cold.
Rong Yun was sitting on the low table at the head of the k’ang, writing characters stroke by stroke with earnest concentration. She had to not only write Shunshun well but also other poetry lines.
Last ti Qin Muyan ca over, she showed him her writing. Qin Muyan said she needed to practice more, so in the future, she could be their children’s first teacher.
She practiced with even more dedication and focus than when her mother had forced her to learn calligraphy from the Grand Tutor!
But soone’s figure appeared at the window, jumping through it directly, startling Rong Yun into screaming, "Ah! Who is it!"
"Princess Your Highness." Mr. Nie’s eyes were cold and dark, "Princess Your Highness really is at leisure, still practicing calligraphy now!"
"You... what are you going to do! Why are you climbing through the window!"
Rong Yun, holding her draft paper, jumped off the bed. Her instincts alerted her to the danger; this Mr. Nie was different from how he was before when he taught her calligraphy!
"It’s to... desecrate you, of course! My cousin was killed because of you, why should you live well? Do you still want to continue being the honored Princess?" Mr. Nie’s gaze was icy and piercing, like a black hole hiding countless centipedes, entirely lacking the forr scholar’s clarity and integrity.
"Ah!!!!"
Mada Yan had just returned with a basin of clothes when she heard Rong Yun’s screaming.
She imdiately dropped the basin and ran towards the door, "Princess! What happened to the Princess!"
Seeing the door locked, she beca frantic, ran to the window, looked inside, and saw a disheveled man pressing Rong Yun to the ground...
Mada Yan’s heart was about to leap out of her chest, she quickly climbed through the window, and scrambled over, "Beast! Let go of the Princess!"
"Ah!"
Mr. Nie kicked her away, his hands tightening around Rong Yun’s neck, his eyes ferocious, "You all deserve to die! You all deserve to die! My cousin was so pitiful, following you in escape, you didn’t get killed by the rebels, yet she died! Why!"
"The ones who should die are you despicable people!"
He tore Rong Yun’s dress, attempting to assault her, Rong Yun cried until her voice was hoarse, "Don’t! Let go of ! Let go of !"
"Princess!" Mada Yan picked up a stool and smashed it towards Mr. Nie, with Mr. Nie screaming in agony, "Ah!"
He covered the back of his head and fell to the ground; Mada Yan quickly helped Rong Yun up, "Princess, are you alright?"
"Auntie!"
Rong Yun wept in Mada Yan’s arms.
Mada Yan imdiately tore off a quilt to wrap her whole body and lifted her.
With a loud bang—
Xiao Xiang, along with Hong Xiu, broke through the door; they arrived just in ti, with Mada Yan imdiately ordering, "Catch him!"
Xiao Xiang rushed forward, binding the bloody and injured Mr. Nie, and seeing Rong Yun crying miserably, she slapped the man hard, "Bastard! How dare you bully the Princess! I’ll beat you to death!"
She gave Mr. Nie a brutal beating, knocking him unconscious.
