Chapter 593: Failed In Teaching Your Daughter
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying stopped in her tracks. When she took a closer look, she saw that the person who had been thrown out was actually a young girl.
She raised her eyes and saw Xiao Jin walking out of the room with an ominous face.
This sight shocked everyone in the courtyard so much that they went down on their knees at once.
“Eldest Young Miss? It’s the Eldest Young Miss. Why is the Eldest Young Miss in the side room?” The servants of Duke Jingguo’s Residence recognized the person on the ground and exclaimed in shock.
Chu Yunn was in so much pain that it seemed that her bones were about to fall apart. She never thought that the Emperor would throw her out.
She curled up her body, afraid that others would see her face. She could not afford to lose her dignity!
Su Ying gestured with her chin in Chu Yunn’s direction. “What happened?”
Xiao Jin’s expression became even more unsightly when he saw Su Ying in the courtyard.
“She’s just someone who’s courting death. Men, this person is trying to harm me. Capture her!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Chu Min heard the commotion and came out of the main house. When he saw Chu Yunn on the ground, his heart sank.
He hurriedly went forward and knelt in front of Xiao Jin. “Your Majesty, please calm down. I don’t know what my daughter did to anger you. Please forgive her on account of her young age.”
Xiao Jin gave a scornful sneer and the killing intent in his eyes burst forth. “She tried to harm me, yet you want me to let her off? Even if she is a three-year-old child, I will not let her off easily. Take her away!”
Chu Min was shocked when he heard that. “Your Majesty, I’m afraid there must be some misunderstanding…”
A layer of frost spread across Xiao Jin’s dark eyes. “Chu Min, are you saying that I’m lying?”
Chu Min’s heart shuddered. “Your humble subject wouldn’t dare.”
Chu Yunn lay on the ground with a pale face. She had thought of thousands of outcomes, but she never once expected that the Emperor would directly throw her into prison!
“Your Majesty…” Chu Yunn turned around and immediately saw Su Ying standing at the side. She gritted her teeth and crawled to Su Ying’s feet.
“Your Imperial Highness, your subject is willing to give herself to His Majesty. Please fulfill my wish to show my admiration for His Majesty.”
“You’re courting death!” Xiao Jin swept his palm, and a gust of strong wind quickly lashed at Chu Yunn.
Chu Yunn did not even have time to react before she was sent flying by the strong wind. Her body crashed heavily into the stone pillar under the roof beam.
Pfft! She spat out a mouthful of blood. As her eyes rolled backward, she fainted right away.
The Emperor was furious, and the Imperial Guards did not dare to delay any longer. They quickly carried Chu Yunn away.
Chu Min’s face was deathly pale. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, but he did not dare to show any emotion on his face.
Eldest Mrs. Chu immediately rushed over when she received the news.
When she saw her precious, beloved daughter being dragged off like a rag, she was so angry that she erupted in rage.
“What are you doing? Let go! Let her go! This is the Duke Jingguo’s Residence! It’s not your place to act in such an outrageous manner!”
“What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and save Eldest Young Miss!”
Eldest Mrs. Chu screamed shrilly, completely devoid of her usual dignified and elegant appearance.
Chu Min’s heart was filled to the brim with hatred but he could only grit his teeth and say sternly, “Chu Yunn should bear the consequences of her mistakes. It’s already her fortune that His Majesty is merciful and didn’t take her life. Don’t cause trouble. Hurry up and come over to apologize to His Majesty!”
Eldest Mrs. Chu turned her head and her gaze abruptly met Su Ying’s two almond-shaped eyes with an ambiguous expression. Her fury was immediately extinguished as if it had been doused by a basin of cold water.
Cold sweat broke out on her back despite the freezing weather conditions.
She took a deep breath and stiffly walked up to Xiao Jin and Su Ying.
“Your subject deserves to die. I didn’t know that Your Majesty and Your Imperial Highness were here. Please forgive me.”
Su Ying turned her eyes, and her gaze fell lightly on Eldest Mrs. Chu.
“You are responsible for teaching that daughter?”
Eldest Mrs. Chu tightly gripped the embroidered handkerchief in her hand tightly.
“It’s my fault for not teaching my daughter well.”
“Indeed. Men, drag Eldest Mrs. Chu away and give her a severe punishment of 30 strokes. It is her fault for failing to teach her daughter well.”
Eldest Mrs. Chu’s eyes widened in disbelief. She had always thought highly of herself since their Duke’s Residence had been around for a hundred years, and her father-in-law held an important position in the Imperial Court. Therefore, even if the Emperor and Empress were unhappy, they should be more accommodating toward them on account of the prestige of the Duke’s Residence.
Now, not only did the Emperor order her daughter to be captured, but he also wanted to beat her. If this matter were to spread, would she still be able to raise her head in the capital city in the future?
However, she did not dare to voice any dissent. If she were to argue with the Emperor and the Empress, she would only end up in an even more miserable state!
Two Imperial Guards came forward and caught hold of Eldest Mrs. Chu. Someone brought a long bench over and began to dish out the punishment on her in the courtyard.
Chu Min listened to Eldest Mrs. Chu’s heart-wrenching cries as the pole hit her flesh. He felt as if he was being slapped in the face each time she was hit. A strong sense of humiliation and hatred rose from his heart.
However, he did not dare to show any signs of dissent!
“Your lowly subject is incompetent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
The anger in Xiao Jin’s eyes had yet to dissipate. “Chu Min, you’re indeed useless.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Su Ying. However, when he met Su Ying’s mocking gaze, Xiao Jin’s eyes revealed a trace of grievance, as if he was begging her for mercy.
Su Ying rolled her eyes at him and turned to enter Duke Jingguo’s room. Xiao Jin followed closely behind her.
The Imperial Physician was still treating Duke Jingguo, but from his tightly furrowed brows, it could be seen that Duke Jingguo’s condition was not good at all.
“How is Duke Jingguo?”
Upon hearing Xiao Jin’s words, the Imperial Physician and the rest stepped forward to report.
“Your Majesty, Your Imperial Highness, Duke Jingguo’s heart meridian is very badly blocked. Because we don’t know what is blocking it, we don’t dare to clear the blockage rashly. We can only try our best to maintain the operation of Duke Jingguo’s heart meridian.”
If they were trying their best to maintain its operation, it meant they couldn’t solve the root of the problem. Even if he got better now, his life would be in danger at any time.
Su Ying knew Duke Jingguo’s physical condition well. His foundation had been damaged, but he had been carefully recuperating during this period. At night, there would even be servants checking to see if he was properly covered with a blanket. How could he suddenly catch a cold?
While mulling over this, Su Ying walked to the bed.
The Imperial Physicians stepped back at once when they saw her approaching.
Su Ying stretched out her hand to check Duke Jingguo’s pulse. It was clearly much weaker than before.
As she observed Duke Jingguo’s lips, they were so pale that they were almost bloodless. It was obvious that the blood flow in his heart was impeded. To put it bluntly, the cold affliction was too severe, and it had seriously injured his already weakened body.
Judging from Duke Jingguo’s current condition, there was a high possibility that he would need surgery.
“All of you go out. I need to give Duke Jingguo further treatment,” Su Ying said as she turned around and glanced at Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin knew her rules, so he didn’t waste any time and left with the Imperial Physicians.
After Su Ying locked the door from the inside, she brought Duke Jingguo into the interspatial store.
After a series of examinations, Su Ying found the location where Duke Jingguo’s heart vessel was blocked.
Once the blockage was cleared, Duke Jingguo’s life would be saved.
This was a minimally invasive surgery, so it wasn’t difficult for Su Ying.
After the blockage was cleared, she used a device to extract some of the contents of Duke Jingguo’s stomach for testing.
However, this test result would not be ready for a while. When the effect of the anesthetic was about to wear off, she brought him out of the interspatial store.
At this moment, the sky outside was already dark.
Su Ying opened the door and saw Xiao Jin still waiting outside..
