Chapter 148 This is not something I can’t take the blame for
The head of the hospital took the pulse, checked the exposed wound, and glanced at Prince Rui, who was standing quietly at the side. "Your Highness, the lower body of Princess Chaoyang is covered in whip wounds. The whip is also stained with chili water. We need to ask the female doctor to treat it and apply medicine."
"I will prescribe some medicine for Princess Chaoyang. Take it first, and you will feel much better."
At this moment, the silent Cang Mo could no longer express his heartache. He did not expect that there would actually be someone who dared to do these things to her. He had repeatedly made it clear that Chu Ci was his, but he did not expect that there was still someone who was not afraid of death.
"it is good."
The head of the hospital left with the emperor and the empress, and soon the female doctor came in with ointment and other things in her hands.
Cang Mo took off all of Chu Ci's outer clothes, and then his inner clothes, leaving only his pants and bellyband.
Almost instantly, all the scars on Chu Ci's body appeared in front of Cang Mo.
Cang Mo's eyes darkened, he clenched his fists, and his veins bulged, as if he was trying hard to suppress the pain in his heart. The sadness was almost suffocating.
He wanted to ask if it hurt, but the words got stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say a word.
The female doctor looked at Prince Rui and warned him, "Your Highness, this may be very painful for me to handle. You'd better hold the princess, otherwise I'm afraid she will hurt herself."
Cang Mo slowly helped Chu Ci up, holding her tightly in his arms, trying his best to carefully control her hands, "Let's start."
Cang Mo stared at the doctor's hands. Every time she treated a wound, it was like she was cutting his body with a knife.
Only after the female doctor had treated all the wounds did she dare to breathe a sigh of relief. The pressure around Prince Rui was really too great.
Prince Rui touched Chu Ci's cheek with pity, "Little fox, don't worry about this matter, I won't let it go like this."
Prince Rui covered Chu Ci with the quilt and walked outside alone. "How did things go?"
"Master, Rong Ziyu has already broken his limbs and thrown him back to the Duke's Mansion. Now the two children in the Duke's Mansion are either dead or disabled. I'm afraid they will take action directly."
"Send twice as many people to the little fox's place and around her. Also, pick a few with strong martial arts skills and quick minds to serve as little fox's maids."
"Let's first arrange for the little fox so I can deal with the next matter. The Duke's Mansion no longer has any need to exist. Since everything is almost ready, let's get started."
It was already the next day when Chu Cixing arrived.
Prince Rui had just returned from court and wanted to spend some time with his little fox to rest, when he discovered that the little fox slowly opened its eyes.
When Chu Ci opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Cang Mo’s red eyes.
"You were a thief last night? Why are your eyes so red?"
Cang Mo gently stroked her hair, his brows full of guilt, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."
"It's okay, I forgive you. Look, I don't have any major problems. You don't want me to have to comfort you with this IUD, do you? Otherwise, how about converting it into a banknote?"
Prince Rui was amused by her eccentric idea and gently scratched her nose. "Okay! Wait until I ask Lin Feng to send you all my private property and the account books of Prince Rui's Mansion. I'll give it all to you and you can spend it however you want."
Chu Ci waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't want it. If it became mine, I wouldn't be willing to spend it. It's yours, so I won't feel bad if I spend it."
In this way, Chu Ci began to recuperate in Prince Rui's mansion.
A few days later, Chu Ci was having the maid take care of her nails when Lin Feng arrived with good news, "Princess! Rong Ziyu has been trampled to death by thousands of horses. He's turned to mud. The master has turned the ground into fertilizer and separated all the flesh."
Chu Ci grinned, saying that his death was so tragic, but he didn't know if it hurt.
At this time, Chu Ci was applying the ointment he made himself. All the wounds on his body had scarred and it didn't hurt at all. Apart from the obvious scars, he was not much different from a normal person.
Mu Qiran was just thinking about Rong Ziyu's death when he heard the eunuch's voice outside, "The Emperor has arrived."
Chu Ci looked at Lin Feng in confusion, "Where is your master?"
Lin Feng shook his head, "Princess, I have been in charge of your affairs recently, and I don't know where the master has gone."
In fact, Lin Feng knew that his master should be making compost at this time, but it was too bloody, so he didn't say it out loud.
"Then let's go and welcome him."
Chu Ci was about to stand up while holding onto the table when the emperor, who was not far away, spoke up, "No need. You are covered in wounds. Let's skip it this time."
The emperor walked to the main seat and sat down, smiling at Chu Ci, "Okay, sit down. If Rui'er saw this, he would think I was bullying his little princess."
Chu Ci looked at the emperor generously, "I wonder what the emperor wants to see me about this time?"
The emperor laughed heartily. "You are quite clever, little girl. I came to you to ask you to do something. The Duke's Mansion has reported many things recently, all related to the Ministry of Revenue."
The Ministry of Revenue is asking about the lack of money, and they don't know where the money went. I want to use this matter to conduct a thorough investigation, but those people are not capable enough. I think you are the most suitable person to handle the audit."
"Don't worry, it's just one year's account. I've checked everything before that, but I didn't find any problems."
Chu Ci thought about it and actually she was not very willing to do it. If she did this, she would offend people. In the future, she would have to bring more people with her, otherwise she would not know how she died.
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's money is like killing their parents. If she really investigates, countless people will die, and the credit will definitely not fall on her. She will definitely be the one to bear the blame.
Chu Ci chuckled twice and tried to play dumb to get by. She didn't want to do anything that would bring no benefit at all, and she didn't love this country as much as she thought.
The emperor took out a blank imperial edict and placed it in front of Chu Ci. "This is my promise to you. I will also send people to protect you at all times."
Chu Ci touched the imperial edict. In fact, this pot is not impossible to love. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Ci was holding the empty imperial edict, wondering where to put it, when the emperor came over and knocked on the table, "Don't be happy yet, follow me."
"Leave? Go now? Is it so urgent to settle a bill?"
The emperor sighed. "It's been a flood season lately. The dikes have burst, and coupled with the poor harvest this year, the treasury is running low. It's impossible to take care of both sides."
"Besides, this matter cannot be spread out. If it is discovered, no one knows what will happen during the period of auditing."
