Chapter 281: Self-Inflicted Cleverness

"Doctor! Hurry up and give Mo Han a look!" Chu Duyun picked up Chu Wanxiang, rushed out of the post house, and ran towards the palace.

As soon as Chu Wanxiang's body was sent to the palace, Chu Mohan woke up.

He opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by many people. He struggled to get up and held on to the wall so that he didn't fall. He looked around and saw a familiar figure, it was Chu Muchen. He frowned, why is Chu Muchen here? He clearly remembered that Chu Wanxiang had fallen off the cliff.

Chu Mohan stood firm against the wall and looked at Chu Duyun, who was wiping his tears with a handkerchief, and when he saw Chu Mohan wake up, he immediately walked over and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"How's it going?" Chu Mohan grabbed Chu Duyun's arm, his eyes were red, "Where did you go Wanwan?"

Chu Duyun patted him on the back and said softly, "She's fine, don't worry."

Chu Mohan breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

Chu Wanxiang's death was unexpected by Chu Mohan. He thought that he would die at the hands of Chu Muchen, but he didn't expect to be accidentally injured by the assassin and die of excessive blood loss.

The picture that Chu Mohan saw before he died flashed in front of Chu Mohan's eyes, and he saw Chu Wanxiang fall off the cliff, blood splattering out of a very high height.

He opened his eyes suddenly, his chest heaving violently, sweating on his forehead, and his heart aching sharply.

He looked around, the furnishings in the house were simple, the furnishings were simple and plain, it was Chu Muchen's house, and he was not a stranger. He remembered what had happened a few days ago in the Western Frontier, when he was seriously injured, and Chu Muchen arranged for him to recuperate here.

This was the place where the Northwest Army was stationed. At that time, Chu Muchen told him that when he arrived at the headquarters of the Northwest Army, he would slowly tell him the ins and outs of the matter. Chu Mohan thought that Chu Muchen was worried about his safety, so he chose to hide it.

Chu Mohan's mood was extremely complicated, feeling both ecstatic and resentful. Chu Wanxiang is his wife and the person he loves deeply, why does Chu Muchen want to take away their happiness?

Chu Muchen pushed the door in, saw Chu Mohan waking up, and walked over quickly: "Are you awake? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Chu Mohan shook his head. Chu Muchen stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist, frowned, and said, "Your poison has been cured." He stared sharply at Chu Mohan, "Why don't you tell me about the strange poison in your body? Why don't you tell me about your ability to do the exercises? Did you know that this can cost you your life? Are you so sure I'll help you detoxify?!"

"Father...... I ......" Chu Mohan's throat was blocked, and he couldn't answer.

"What are you?!" Chu Duyun said angrily, "Do you know that because of your unauthorized actions this time, you almost killed the entire army! How do you want me to forgive you! Do you know how wrong you are! Do you know that you are the king of a country, representing the dignity and image of the Great Chu State! You dare to go out on a private expedition, you are flouting military regulations! Defy the Emperor!"

"Father! I know that I am wrong, and I ask you to punish me."

"Reprimand!? How can I punish you?" Chu Duyun scolded angrily, "If you have three longs and two shorts, how can I explain to your mother?"

Chu Mohan bowed his head and knelt down, pleading, "Please give me a death from my father!"

"Live well!" Chu Duyun gritted his teeth, "Otherwise, I will never give up!"

"The retainers obey."

Chu Duyun was panting, his chest rose and fell violently, obviously angry, he pointed at Chu Mohan and scolded angrily. His henchmen and civil and military officials also stepped forward to persuade him, and Chu Duyun suppressed his anger a little and waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat.

Chu Mohan sat quietly for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, how did you find us?"

"The men I sent out to look for you found the secret message you left on the way, and immediately reported it to me, and I came overnight." Chu Duyun sighed, "How did you become so reckless? You shouldn't have rushed into the army!"

Chu Mohan apologized in a low voice: "I was wrong."

"Well, don't be too busy admitting your mistakes. I believe in your loyalty and ability, but this is something you don't think about. If you don't want to fight, why don't you tell me? Do you have to be wise?"

"Son's ......"

"I know you're depressed, but I really can't tolerate you coming back. Did you know?

What does this battle mean for the Chu family's army? If you are defeated, the Chu family army will definitely suffer a catastrophe. You are our last hope, you must not have anything to do......" Chu Duyun said sadly.

Chu Mohan was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "I...... I'm sorry, Father."

"I don't blame you." Chu Duyun held his hand, "Father understands your feelings. Over the years, you have endured all the hardships and finally ascended the throne as emperor, but you have suffered this catastrophe again......

"Father doesn't have to blame himself, these are all children's own faults." Chu Mohan said, "Now Chu Muchen not only snatched the throne, but also wanted to put the child to death, which is really too deceitful."

Chu Duyun sneered, "He just had this intention in mind, wanting to get rid of me and you. Sooner or later, I'll kill him."

"But he has occupied the southeast border, and his troops are strong, and we are afraid that we will not be able to please him now."

"Have you heard? Last night, the third prince knelt outside the princess's dormitory for a whole night, hoping that the princess could open up." A handmaid leaned over to a few maids and whispered, her tone full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"I don't need to hear about it! No one in the entire capital knows that the third prince has favored that princess to the extent that the world is staggering!" The other maid immediately retorted, her eyes glinting with jealousy.

"Ouch! The third prince has no children and no daughters, if he marries a princess and gives birth to the eldest son...... Our family's glory and wealth may be robbed!"

"Don't guess! Although the third prince treats the princess very well, it does not mean that he will hand over the power to the princess, after all, the third prince has no children under his knees, in case he dies one day, the country of the Three Princes Mansion will fall into the hands of others!" A maid shook her head and sighed, as if she had been able to foresee the fate of the Three Kings Mansion in the future.

Several maids gathered together, chattering, and the topics they talked about were all about Chu Wanxiang and Chu Mohan, their voices were not small, and they could hear them clearly even if they were far away.

"You guys are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Chu Wanxiang suddenly walked out of the house, stood on the steps and scolded several maids sharply, staring at them sharply.

Chu Wanxiang is gentle and virtuous on weekdays, kind and easy-going, and rarely gets angry, so many maids are afraid of her, and they are so frightened that their faces turn pale.

"Slaves and maids deserve to die! Please forgive me!" Several maids hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Humph!" Chu Wanxiang glared at them and walked into the house with her sleeves brushed up.

"Ah! Mother, spare your life!" Several maids kowtowed and begged for mercy, and their foreheads touched the cold slate, and the pain was unbearable.

"Get out! Dare to chew the root of your tongue again, and be careful that this palace tears your mouth!" Chu Wanxiang's threat made them frightened, and they hurriedly got up and left in a hurry.
