Before Chu Xiuwen could react, Mo Qi, who stood by Chu Yihan’s side, appeared right in front of him. His movements were as swift as lightning, landing a powerful punch on Chu Xiuwen’s face. Chu Xiuwen let out a startled cry as Mo Qi swiftly extracted one of his teeth, then promptly returned to Chu Yihan’s side.
Mo Qi placed the extracted tooth on Chu Yihan’s table and spoke with utmost seriousness, “Master, this is a tooth from the Third Prince.”
Only when Chu Xiuwen’s mouth filled with blood did he realize that Chu Yihan’s men had knocked out his tooth.
He clutched his injured face and grumbled indignantly, “Ninth Imperial Uncle, you…”
“What about me? Have you gained a few extra teeth?” Chu Yihan raised an eyebrow, his imposing aura making it difficult for anyone to catch their breath.
Chu Xiuwen turned his gaze toward his father.
Chu Mingyuan’s expression remained calm as if he was accustomed to Chu Yihan’s audacious behavior.
Chu Mingyuan looked at Chu Xiuwen with a solemn expression, “Xiuwen, Ling’er is your younger brother. As the eldest, you should be tolerant and magnanimous.”
With a missing tooth, Chu Xiuwen had no choice but to swallow his anger and take a sip of wine. The fiery liquor burned his mouth’s wound, causing him both pain and an inability to cry out. He could only endure it before everyone, the frustration growing.
Chu Chengye empathized with his third brother’s plight, yet he understood the roles of subject and son. If his father chose not to pursue this matter, he, as a loyal subject, couldn’t interfere. Otherwise, he might suffer the same fate as Chu Xiuwen, losing a tooth.
Moreover, his attention hadn’t fully shifted from Su Yingxue yet!
She seemed to be engaged in an unending conversation with Chu Jinling!
Chu Jinling shared gossip with Su Yingxue, “The madam of the Minister of Rites is here today. She’s an exceptionally astute and capable woman. She and the madam of the Minister of Personnel have been close friends since childhood.”
“Oh?” Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, her eyes revealing a hint of intrigue.
She was aware that Madam Wu was standing nearby.
So, that was the situation?
Su Yingxue’s lips curved into a sly smile as she lifted her cup, her gaze directed over Chu Jinling’s shoulder.
From her vantage point behind her, it appeared as if she had emptied her cup of tea and remained oblivious to any anomalies.
A trace of venom flashed in Madam Wu’s eyes. “Su Yingxue!”
Just wait for what was coming today!
Between Madam Wu and Su Yingxue, Su Yurou heard Madam Wu’s words and couldn’t help but show a hint of delight.
She would finally be able to see Su Yingxue make a fool of herself, so she did not have to be anxious.
After finishing his chat with Su Yingxue, Chu Jinling passed by Chu Mingyuan and went to greet him and his mother.
His mother, Noble Consort Xiao, hailed from a prestigious family, boasting elders from three dynasties and esteemed officials and generals. Even within the harem, she held a respected position.
Unable to tolerate Chu Xiuwen’s disparaging remarks about her son, she beckoned Chu Jinling over and questioned him loudly in front of everyone, “Ling’er, what did you and Miss Su talk about for so long? You’re only coming to your mother and father now.”
Leaning against Noble Consort Xiao, Chu Jinling smiled with a radiant and dashing expression. “I admire Miss Su’s medical expertise. We chatted about medical book contents. While I might not fully grasp them, Miss Su’s explanations were enlightening. If I chat more with Miss Su, 1 might even find a way to cure Mother’s headaches!”
“Oh, my dear Ling’er is such a filial child! Nothing like what others are saying… claiming that my Ling’er has tarnished the royal family’s reputation!” Noble Consort Xiao embraced Chu Jinling and laughed heartily.
From the angle that the empress could see, she arrogantly raised her chin at the empress, as if she was demonstrating her power..
