Chapter 1543: Chapter 1538: Qin Muyan Eager to Return

With great difficulty, when midnight arrived, Madam Li awoke. Qin Muyan accompanied Li Yunshu in attending to her, preparing soup and medicines, and listened to her crying and complaining for a long while. Qin Muyan was already somewhat exhausted. After comforting Madam Li, he wanted to take his leave, “Madam, if you’re worried about the secondary consort, Your Highness will allow her to stay at the mansion for a few more days. Tomorrow, Your Highness will also come to visit Madam again.”

He had barely finished speaking when he wished to depart, but unfortunately, Madam Li ran out of breath and fainted once more.

“Mother!”

“Madam!”

Li Bo and Li Yunshu cried and shouted, sending the court physicians into another flurry of activity.

Qin Muyan, who wished to hurry out of the Duke’s residence, had no choice but to stop again.

He paced back and forth, irritated, outside Madam Li’s room, even kicking over a potted flower in his impatience.

Seeing him like this, Qin Ge stepped forward to remind him, “Mu Yan, what are you doing?”

“Mother!”

Qin Muyan, unable to let go of his anger, couldn’t vent it at her, “Mother, do you know that Jingjing has been waiting for Your Highness for too long! Now, to speak nothing of dinner, at this hour, she would have already gone to bed!”

“If you know that dinner time has passed, why are you in such a hurry? Either way, it has already been missed. Even if you rush back now, she would have gone to sleep, wouldn’t she? Go back tomorrow. If today your younger sister-in-law cannot escape danger, what will those in court think of you? Since you were a child, you called her Auntie, and now she is your mother-in-law. She was injured because of you!” Qin Ge knew the reasons well, but still had to make them clear to comfort Qin Muyan.

At Qin Muyan’s age, it was no longer a time to be anxious over such matters.

Qin Muyan’s heart was in turmoil, and his voice became hurried, “Mother, your son is fully aware of this. Your son wants to stay here to consider his own reputation and to honor Mother, but has failed Jingjing!”

“Although she is the Princess, she is also just a woman! Is she really worth comparing with your reputation and future?” Qin Ge’s tone became more severe.

She didn’t object to Qin Muyan’s fondness for Rong Yun, but even fondness should have its limits.

It was just a missed dinner.

Could Qin Muyan still rush back now to have dinner with her?

Could it be that they won’t have dinner together tomorrow?

Qin Muyan didn’t understand why he couldn’t calm himself; he was filled with guilt and worries for Rong Yun.

He worried that this little one wouldn’t last until his return and would cry, that she wouldn’t eat dinner, that she wouldn’t sleep out of fear, and that her restlessness might lead to all sorts of accidents!

In short, he was extremely worried!

He could not continue discussing Rong Yun with his mother, only frequently summoning the court physician to inquire when Madam Li could regain consciousness.

The court physicians looked at each other, equally nervous, “Your Highness, we have used all the medicines and acupuncture available. Madam Li’s condition fluctuates. This lesser official really does not know how to proceed.”

They all wiped the sweat off their foreheads, appearing hesitant and unsure.

Could they really say that this was not their problem, but the patient’s?

After hearing their response, Qin Muyan, enraged, stomped out and viciously kicked a pillar, cracking its base.

Wei Jue was also busy all night, as Rong Yun had Wei Mingze keep looking for Wei Jue; she wanted Qin Muyan to return.

Wei Mingze, tasked with protection, naturally obeyed Rong Yun’s every command, repeatedly urging his master many times. Wei Jue even went to the Duke’s residence twice, but each time, the message he brought back was for Rong Yun to go to bed early. Rong Yun was so angry that she cried, running around in the courtyard, crying several laps, wearing out a pair of Cloud Brocade Jade Shoes. The small jade beads on the Cloud Brocade scattered everywhere. She pulverized them, rolling the beads into the mud.

Wei Mingze stood guard outside the courtyard, his dark face sunken around the eyes, revealing a trace of pity.

He risked punishment to run to the Duke’s mansion again, but this time he didn’t manage to see Qin Muyan before being penalized. Qin Ge’s people scolded him, and Li Yunshu directly ordered the palace guards to block him at the mansion gate.

Wei Mingze, thinking of Rong Yun’s orders, stubbornly wanted to rush in to report to Qin Muyan, but the people of the Duke’s mansion were many and powerful, leaving him bruised and battered.

After daybreak, Qin Muyan came out from the Duke’s mansion and saw Wei Mingze lying in a pool of blood. He hurriedly pulled him up, his heart pounding, “Has something happened to Rong Yun?”

Wei Mingze gasped for air, “The Princess is… waiting for Your Highness to return to the prince’s mansion, this subordinate was ordered to report to Your Highness.”

“Damn it!”

Qin Muyan’s eyes reddened, unable to control his temper any longer.

He strode back to Qin Ge’s side, face ashen, “Mother, I must take my leave now, I will come back tonight, but at this moment, I must go!”

“Mu Yan!”

Qin Ge grabbed at Qin Muyan’s sleeve, frowning, “Is it really that urgent? You’ve waited here all night, and now you’re leaving? If the Princess were broad-minded, why make such a fuss? Do you realize how much it affects you for a palace guard to be bloodied at the Duke’s mansion?”

Rumor would have it that the Princess was petulant and jealous, imperious and domineering, calling Qin Muyan back countless times during the night, hindering his important tasks, entangling him in romantic affairs, losing both reason and the dignity of a prince.

This was something Qin Ge had to consider for Qin Muyan.

If it weren’t for Wei Mingze repeatedly sending messages, for his boldness in bloodying the Duke’s mansion, he might not be so anxious, but Wei Mingze was someone he had sent to watch over Rong Yun. The commands he relayed represented Rong Yun’s stance.

Rong Yun was waiting for him, anxious and in agony.

She must have some important matter to tell him.

She wasn’t just throwing a tantrum over trivial matters.

His little girl wouldn’t do that.

“Mother, I have waited here all night, I sincerely thank the secondary consort for her eagerness, and I’ve also brought the court physician to treat her illness, but now, I must return to the prince’s mansion, to see the person I long to see, to do what I long to do, my heart yearns for her.”

Qin Muyan’s heartfelt yearning deeply moved Qin Ge.

She saw the impulsiveness of the old Qin Muyan, the coldness of the man entangled in love after Su Yingxue left.

But now, he was once again passionate, his eyes filled with happiness, anger, sorrow, and tender affection.

Qin Ge smiled bitterly and shook her head, “Go, I’ll stand watch here and clean up after you.”

Qin Muyan smiled gratefully, “Thank you, Mother.”

He nearly flew on the wind as he ran out, and Qin Ge could hear from far away the sound of his horse’s hooves as he mounted and the horse neighed.

It was clear how eagerly he wished to return.

“Auntie!”

Li Yunshu hurried over with medicine in hand, and seeing that Qin Muyan was gone, asked anxiously, “Your Highness, he just left like this? My mother hasn’t woken up and is still in danger!”
