Chapter 16: As If Facing a Great Enemy

  At this time, the Anguo Gongfu was like facing a great enemy, and everyone seemed to see the bright blade already placed on their necks, at any moment they could become souls under the knife!

  One glance and they were at a disadvantage, Yun Baiyu and Yun Su'you reacted immediately and chased after him. However, what made them furious was that Yun Mochen had ridden away on the fastest horse in the Wang Manor!

  When they finally arrived at the palace gate, they heard a message that made their souls fly away: Yun Mo Ran had guaranteed the lives of everyone in the An Guo Gong Fu and claimed to be able to cure the Second Prince's brain disease!

  The two of them were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat, each silently cursing Yun Mo in their hearts. Having no other choice, they returned to the mansion, but before long, a group of Imperial Guards unexpectedly followed and surrounded the An Guo Gong Mansion, sealing it off tightly!

  The crowd, unaware of the inside story, exploded upon hearing Yun Su's account. They cursed loudly: "That damned cheap girl! She can die herself if she wants to! How dare she drag us down with her?"

  "She's clearly resentful that we pushed her out to die and is using this method to take revenge on us, wanting us all to be buried with her!"

  "The second prince's brain disease has left even the imperial physicians helpless, what can a useless person like her do? It's clear that she just wants to borrow a knife to kill someone!"

  In an instant, the Anguo Gong Mansion was filled with mournful wails and cries that shook the heavens, as if the end of the world had arrived.

  Yun Baiyu was fed up and suddenly waved his hand loudly shouting: "Enough! All of you shut up!"

  Everyone felt a shock throughout their body and involuntarily stopped crying. Yun Baiyu coldly swept his gaze around the room, hummed, and said: "Although Xia Qi is not self-aware of her own strength, the current empress is our own aunt, how could she just watch us being implicated by Xia Qi? Moreover, since Xia Qi dared to say such words, perhaps she really has a way to save the Second Prince. Let's wait and see before making any decisions."

  The crowd heard this and indeed did not seem as desperate as before. However, everyone still unconsciously gathered at the gate of the mansion, stretching their necks to gaze in the direction of the imperial palace, a magnificent scene.

  Yun Jia Fei Chai Xiao Qi's move to stake the entire An Guo Gong Fu on saving the Second Imperial Son had not only spread throughout the palace, but also spread like wildfire throughout the entire capital city. As a result, whether it was near the palace gates or around the An Guo Gong Fu, there were crowds of people whispering among themselves, with some gloating over others' misfortunes, some showing sympathy and concern, and others simply watching the commotion...

  This wait was already three hours long. The prolonged waiting had exhausted the patience of most people, and the crowd gradually dispersed. The eyes of those who stayed looked at the Yun family with a gaze that was not much different from looking at a pile of corpses.

  At this scene, Yun Anqi, who was the most resentful, spoke first with a clenched jaw: "I think there's no hope left! The Emperor will soon issue an edict to behead us!"

  "Third sister, don't scare me..." Yun Lanyue cried with a gloomy face, trembling like a sieve, "I really don't want to die..."

  "Shh! Don't make a sound! It seems like Little Seven is back!"

  Yun Su's low voice, everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look, and indeed they saw Yun Mo dye walking over with a smile, and behind her was a team of fully armed Imperial Guards!

  A group of people walked to the gate of the mansion. The inner attendant, Cheng De Zhang, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The imperial edict has been issued! Duke An Guo is summoned to receive the edict!"

  Yun Baiyu did not dare to be slow and immediately led a group of people to kneel down on the ground: "Your subject has received the imperial edict!"

  It's coming! The good show is about to begin! Those who have been waiting until this moment are all excited, perking up their ears to listen. Whether Yun Mo Ran has cured the Second Prince's illness or not, it's a major piece of news worth spreading far and wide!

  Cheng De Zhang nodded, unfolded the imperial edict and read it out in a shrill voice: "By the grace of heaven, the emperor decrees: The An Guo Gong Fu Yun Mo Dye has exceptional medical skills, with wonderful hands that bring people back to life. He cured the old illness of the two princes Helian Jingxuan, which fills me with joy and gratitude. As a special reward, I grant him 10,000 taels of gold to show my appreciation. Come forth and receive the edict and express your thanks!"

  A loud shout, everyone was in an uproar! The doctor has succeeded, and it's really cured! This Yun family's seventh daughter is indeed a divine person!

  Yun Baiyu and others were even more shocked for a long time, and only reacted after a moment: "Your subject has received the imperial edict and thanks Your Majesty!"

  Lin Jun, the commander of the Imperial Guard, had a million taels of gold carried into the mansion of Duke Anguo. Cheng De Zhang then returned to the palace to report back. Yun Bai Yu held the imperial edict in his hands, and for a moment, it was as if he were in a dream. He looked at Yun Mo Yan who was staring blankly and opened his mouth: "Xiao Qi, you...you really cured the Second Prince's brain disease?"

  Yun Mo coldly glanced at him and turned her head to leave: "Someone come! Move all this gold into Yunlai Pavilion!"

  "Yes!"

  Looking at the back of Yun Mo's ink-stained figure, Yun Anqi was already furious with a pale face: "Big brother! Why don't you stop her? What right does she have to take those golden tokens?"

  "Gold was bestowed upon Little Qi by the Emperor, what's wrong with her taking it?" Yun Baiyu furrowed his brow, his eyes revealing a deep contemplation. "First, there's the mysterious martial arts, and then the extraordinary medical skills. Little Qi has been living alone in Cloud Arrival Pavilion for so many years, what exactly has she experienced?"

  Yun Anqi couldn't be bothered with all this, her only concern was that since Yun Mo didn't have to die for the Second Prince's sake, she wouldn't die anytime soon either. Wouldn't she be able to avenge her severed wrist then? She had to think of a way, besides getting rid of that detestable dead girl...
