The Cold Prince Dotes On His Wild Wife Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Saving Wu Shang, provoking Helian Yi (1)

At this time, within Prince Xiang's Manor, Helian Yu sat alone in his study. He was looking at the small porcelain bottle that Empress Wei Changning had given him after he returned from the Imperial Palace.

Helian Yu recalled what Empress Wei Changning had warned him before he left, "That is the most dangerous poison of the Fusang Kingdom. It has no color nor taste. The poison cannot be detectable by a silver needle. And no matter how strong a person's innate strength is, as long as they drink it, they won't have any chance of surviving. This drug is also the type where the people infected are only diagnosed to have unknown ailments."

After a long while, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Helian Yu's eyes. If he manages to make Mo Youyou drink it at the Imperial Palace's Evening Banquet tomorrow, he will be able to marry Mo Yan as his concubine. And in the future, if he could obtain Mo Residence's military power, the throne would be his!

He clutched the small porcelain bottle tightly and carefully put it away. All he could do was wait until tomorrow night! Mo Youyou, tomorrow night is the day you die. You were lucky I wasn't able to kill you last time. I don't believe I can't get rid of you this time!"

Helian Yu's entire body released a terrifying killing intent. The atmosphere inside the study room became cold like a thousand-year-old Ice cave that no one dared to go near.

Inside Prince Jing's Manor's southern courtyard, Mo Youyou lay half-dead on her bed. Yue Er had also been brought over by Wu Shang and was quietly guarding outside the door. Hearing Mo Youyou's low muttering from inside the house, Yue Er worriedly asked:

"Miss, are you all right?"

"I'm going to die soon. Yue Er, go and call Wu Shang over, I have something to talk to him about."

When Yue Er heard Mo Youyou's words, she originally wanted to tell Mo Youyou that Wu Shang got called away. But after thinking about it, Yu Er thought that Wu Shang had already finished his work. Thus, she hurriedly left the southern courtyard and headed towards the Northern Courtyard.

In the Northern Courtyard, inside Helian Yi's study, Wu Shang respectfully knelt behind Helian Yi. After a long while, his Master finally spoke.

"Speak, what happened!"

Wu Shang had kept his head low all this time and did not dare to make a sound. But upon hearing his Master's cold voice, he could not help but shrink back a little.

"The Ninth Miss's departure is all this subordinate's mistake. This subordinate will voluntarily accept the punishment."

Helian Yi berated Wu Shang: "Do you know that if she didn't accidentally meet me today, she probably wouldn't even have had the chance to return to this Prince's Mansion?!"

"This subordinate knows his mistakes! Your Highness, please punish me!"

Helian Yi sat in front of the desk and looked coldly at Wu Shang.

"You will receive twenty hits as punishment! Get down!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

When Yue Er's figure appeared near the Northern Courtyard, she heard a series of m.u.f.fled groans inside. Curious, she walked up to take a peek.

Seeing Wu Shang lying on the Xing Xie stool, two guards holding a plank stood beside him and smacked it towards his waist. Yue Er was so shocked that she immediately covered her mouth to ensure that she would not make a sound.

When Yue Er's figure appeared near the Northern Courtyard, she heard a series of m.u.f.fled groans coming from the courtyard. Curious, she walked up to take a peek.

Seeing Wu Shang lying on the Xing Xie stool, two guards stood beside him. The guards held a plank and swung it towards Wu Shang waist. Yue Er was so shocked that she immediately covered her mouth to ensure that she could not make a sound.

She had heard the other misses of the Mo Residence mention it before, but they had only brought it up to threaten her and Mo Youyou. When she saw Wu Shang's broken robe, Yue Er became anxious and hurried back to the southern courtyard.

When Mo Youyou heard a commotion, she thought that Wu Shang had come over. Upon seeing who it was, she curiously asked:

"Yue Er, what's going on? Where's Wu Shang? Why do you look so terrible?"

Yue Er did not have time to explain as she knelt on the ground and panted heavily.

"Miss, not great! Terrible! Wu Shang, Wu Shang is in trouble!"

Hearing Yue Er's words, Mo Youyou suddenly sat up, and because it was too abrupt, she accidentally twisted her waist, causing her to scream miserably. Mo Youyou endured the pain and rushed to the Northern Courtyard with Yue Er's support.

Just as Wu Shang was about to accept the last board, Mo Youyou's voice suddenly rang.

"Stop!"

The guard's hands froze in midair and looked towards the Northern Courtyard's door at the same time.

Mo Youyou limped into the Northern Courtyard. She stared coldly at the guard, who was punishing Wu Shang. Upon seeing her glare at them, the two guards could only lower their heads and silently stand at the side.

When Wu Shang saw Mo Youyou's figure, he could only sigh in his heart, "I'm doomed! This time, the twenty boards would probably become thirty big boards!"

Mo Youyou walked in front of the bench. Seeing Wu Shang's badly mutilated back and the beads of cold sweat dripping down from his forehead, Mo Youyou turned around and began to scold the guards who executed the lesson.

Wu Shang frowned. Helpless, he can only hope that the Master would give him some leeway.

Inside the study room, Helian Yi had already heard Mo Youyou's movements the moment she entered the Northern Courtyard. He just hadn't thought that this reckless woman would truly barge into his bedroom! And worse, it was for his subordinate, Wu Shang!

Helian Yi's fist tightly clenched as he stared at the scene outside the window. He saw that she was leaning over Wu Shang's ear and was saying something. This action, in Helian Yi's eyes, was extremely ambiguous! He thought to himself, d.a.m.n it!

Helian Yi walked out of the study room with long strides. When Mo Youyou heard the creaking sound of the door opening, she stared ahead wide-eyed: It's over!

Wu Shang innocently looked at Mo Youyou, then, supported his injured body as he jumped down from the Xing Mo bench to pay his respects.

Seeing that, Mo Youyou anxiously walked forward, "Wu Shang, don't move!"

As she said that, she reached out to support him, but got hindered by Helian Yi's palm wind. Mo Youyou could only retreat, while Wu Shang, who was on the ground, could not hold on much longer and fell.

Helian Yi looked at Mo Youyou coldly, "Wu Shang is one of my people. Why is Mo Residence's Ninth Miss causing an uproar about this? You must not forget, this is my residence! If you think this Prince's Manor is boring and keep causing trouble, I will immediately order someone to send you back!"

Mo Youyou quivered and quickly stood up. Who would have thought that Helian Yi would be so petty?

As to not implicate Wu Shang, Mo Youyou hurriedly walked over to Helian Yi and smiled flatteringly. However, Helian Yi only thought that the woman in front of him was shameless. Extremely shameless!

When Mo Youyou rushed towards him, Helian Yi took a step backward, maintaining some distance from Mo Youyou.

Mo Youyou stopped in her tracks and innocently looked at Helian Yi.

"Royal Uncle, Youyou only sent Yue Er to ask for help. But when Yu Er found out that Wu Shang got punished, she reported it to me. Youyou only came here because she thought that if Wu Shang gets injured, no one would be there to help her. After Wu Shang had done all this for Youyou, Youyou thought that it wasn't too late to receive my punishment. So Youyou anxiously ran over here.…"

With that said, Mo Youyou stole a glance at Helian Yi and Wu Shang. As expected, the two men stared at her in disbelief.

Especially Wu Shang, a trace of sadness and helplessness unmistakably appeared in his eyes.

After Helian Yi heard Mo Youyou's words, he gave her a cold glare and turned around, leaving a few words, "Follow me!" He then walked into the study by himself.

Mo Youyou pointed at Wu Shang, then at herself, and curiously asked:

"Your master wants me to follow him in?"

Wu Shang nodded and did not dare say anything. Mo Youyou calmed herself before carefully following Helian Yi in.
