Chapter 12: Face is more important than reality

  Yun Lingwei hadn't even had a chance to speak before Yun Moche casually uttered two words: "Alright."

  He Lian Cangning's eyes finally showed a hint of subtle appreciation, but unfortunately, due to her lowered eyelids, Yun Mo couldn't catch a glimpse. Turning his head to look at He Lian Cangtu, he nodded lightly: "Let's go back to the Emperor, we can give it a try."

  "No! The palace does not permit it!" Yun Lingwei finally spoke up, refusing without hesitation, "The palace absolutely will not allow you to play with Xiao Er's life!"

  You're the one who's playing with his life. Yun Mo's gaze turned cold as he looked at Yun Lingwei, seemingly respectful: "Your Majesty, do you choose to wait for death or take a gamble, what is your choice?"

  "But..."

  "Empress!" He Lian Cang furrowed his brow, and a single glance made Yun Ling Wei stop talking. He turned to look at Yun Mo Ran, "Yun Mo Ran, do you really have 100% confidence in curing Xing Xu?"

  "There is." Yun Mo said with a calm tone, "If Your Majesty is still worried, you can order someone to supervise by the side. If there's even half a mistake, immediately take me down and punish me!"

  He Lian Cang hesitated for a moment, and He Lian Ning had already softly spoken up: "Your Majesty, hand it over to my younger brother."

  Just as I intended! He Lian Cang nodded repeatedly: "Good! Then I will entrust this important task to my 19th brother! Yun Mo Ran, whatever you need, just speak up, I won't refuse! But if you can't cure Xing Xu, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"

  "What is needed has been prepared, Mo Ran doesn't want anything." Yun Mo Ran shook his head, "Mo Ran only hopes that after curing Xiang Wang, the Emperor will recall his order and not let Mo Ran be a substitute for Xiang Wang's happiness again."

  "That's natural." He Lian Cang nodded, "If Xing Xu was fine, would there still be a need to rush the wedding?"

  Yun Mo nodded: "Since it is so, please have Your Majesties move to a different location."

  Although Yun Lingwei was reluctant and unwilling to leave, once the Emperor had spoken, she did not dare say more and left with a heavy heart.

  After clearing the bystanders, Yun Mo immediately took out the medicine box he brought with him and opened it, taking out the necessary items for disinfection. Finally, he handed the improved Ma Fei San to He Lian Jing Xuan's face: "Your Highness, this is..."

  "Yun Mo Ran, you are not willing to marry me?" He Lian Qing Xiao suddenly spoke up, his eyes cold and with a hint of anger. Thinking that he was the second prince, the current King of Xiang's son, how many young ladies had risked their lives to become his queen. But this rumored weak and timid ugly freak actually couldn't wait to get rid of him, wouldn't it make him furious?

  Yun Mo's expression changed slightly as she hesitated, dodging the heavy topic and saying lightly, "This isn't important, what's most important now is..."

  "This is important!" He Lian Jing interrupted her coldly, "As the prince, my face is more important than reason! Now you actually rejected me in front of everyone, how do you want me to save face?"

  What you're concerned about isn't being rejected in public, but rather being rejected by a freak! Yun Mo's eyes turned cold, his voice still relatively calm: "Your Highness' meaning?"

  "This king..."

  "Hold back, don't be reckless." He Lian's voice suddenly rang out, sounding gentle yet carrying an unyielding authority.

  He Lian Jing Xuan was stifling his anger, but didn't dare disobey, so he reluctantly responded with a "Yes, Nineteenth Imperial Uncle. However, Yun Mo Yan, you'd better listen up - this debt I will settle with you sooner or later!"

  Yun Mo ignored the sentence and handed the bowl over again: "This is hemp boiling powder, after drinking it, Your Highness will fall into a deep sleep, when you wake up, everything will be done."

  He Lian Jing didn't say much, took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Soon after, he indeed felt his brain becoming dizzy and drowsy, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

  After careful observation, Yun Mo nodded in satisfaction and picked up the razor to shave He Lian Jing's hair.

  All preparations were complete, Yun Mo had washed his hands clean and picked up the temporary tool used as a surgical knife, walking to the bedside, aiming at He Lianjing's head, ready to make the incision...
