Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 36 How long do you intend to stay in my bed?

This assassination attempt caused quite a stir, and the news reached the palace that very night.

Emperor Mo Yao slammed his hand on the table, his entire body radiating a chilling killing intent.

"What a traitor! How dare he be so audacious! To act so presumptuously right under the emperor's nose, have I been too lenient with them in the past?"

The guard kneeling on one knee said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this matter is of utmost importance. We have not yet found out who did it."

Emperor Mo Yao snorted, his eyes sharp: "It seems I can no longer tolerate this, otherwise, once the Prince of Qin retaliates, the world will..."

The guard lowered his head, pretending not to hear.

Emperor Mo Yao's expression suddenly changed, and he asked with concern, "How is my daughter-in-law?"

"..."

The guard blinked. Shouldn't His Majesty be concerned about Prince Qin first?

"Consort Su is seriously injured and unconscious. His Highness Prince Qin has already invited the Poison Immortal to treat her."

Emperor Moyao slammed his fist on the table again, causing the memorials on it to bounce a few times: "That little brat! He actually made his wife take the knife for him? Is he even a man?!"

"..."

The guard had no choice but to pretend he hadn't heard.

Jingyang Palace also received the news.

The Empress was about to retire for the night when she heard this and immediately sat up again.

"What did you say? The King of Qin has been assassinated?!"

The head palace maid nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, the news was sent by Granny Wei. It says that Prince Qin and Consort Su were assassinated on their way back to the Prince's residence."

The Empress asked anxiously and worriedly, "Is His Highness Prince Qin injured?"

The head palace maid shook her head.

"The message sent by Granny Wei only mentioned the assassination attempt, but did not say whether the Prince of Qin was injured. However, I heard that His Highness the Prince of Qin took Consort Su to Fenghua Palace."

Upon hearing this, the Empress became even more anxious: "Quickly send someone out of the palace to inquire whether it was Jing'er who was injured or Consort Su!"

Inside the Chu King's Palace.

Su Huayue was trying to persuade Murong Jin: "Your Highness, it's the middle of the night now, why don't you go tomorrow?"

Murong Jin insisted on going to the Prince of Qin's residence: "My third brother was assassinated, and I should go and inquire about the situation."

Su Huayue shuddered as she recalled the corpses she had seen on the way back to the manor, but still advised, "Your Highness, you saw it too. So many people died in the streets. It's clear there were quite a few assassins, and some must have escaped. It's very dangerous for you to go out now!"

Murong Jin frowned, and after thinking for a while, finally agreed not to go.

"Then you will come with me tomorrow to see if Su Er and the Third Prince are alright."

Su Huayue's eyes darkened, and she responded softly, "Yes."

At the Prince of Qin's residence.

Su Mowan groaned for a while before drifting off to sleep, only to wake up again amidst waves of dull pain.

I still feel a little dizzy.

One reason was that the remaining poison had not been cleared, and another reason, Su Mowan privately believed, was excessive blood loss.

Before she even opened her eyes, she let out a weak hum, and then Su Mowan felt a slightly cool hand cover her forehead.

Su Mowan was so startled that she immediately opened her eyes.

The first thing you see is a cold and handsome face, with lips so pale they look like they're covered in frost.

Seeing that she had opened her eyes, Murong Jing parted his thin lips slightly, and upon closer listening, his voice was not as cold and hard as usual.

"woke up?"

Su Mowan nodded blankly and was about to get up when a sharp pain shot through her left shoulder.

At the same time, Murong Jing pressed her down with undeniable force.

He frowned: "Don't move around if you're injured!"

Su Mowan certainly hadn't forgotten how she had stepped forward last night, selflessly helping the disabled, and then... bravely sustaining injuries.

She opened her chapped lips.

"Your Highness, I vaguely remember there were other men here last night."

It would have been better if she hadn't brought it up, because the moment she did, Murong Jing's face turned cold: "You're mistaken. Only I was here last night."

Su Mowan glanced at his expression and then looked puzzled.

But she clearly heard someone call out "Murong" last night. Could it have been her?

Su Mowan glanced at the bandage on her shoulder, coughed, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for detoxifying me. I'm much better now. Your Highness, please have Yinshuang come and take me back."

It was still dark.

Murong Jing gave her a cold glance and said unhappily, "How are you going to go back looking like this?"

Su Mowan raised an eyebrow. This injury, though painful, should still allow her to walk, right?

She had just moved her arm when her expression changed.

"Your Highness, what kind of poison was applied to the arrow?"

Seeing her expression change, Murong Jing curled his lips into a mocking smile: "Soul-snatching powder, if you can get up in three days, then you're really something."

"..."

Su Mowan had heard of this thing; it could travel through all the meridians of the body in half an hour, and without an antidote, one would surely die.

"Your Highness, how do you have the antidote for the Soul-Stealing Powder?"

Murong Jing's phoenix eyes flickered slightly, and he said coldly, "No."

"Then how was this poison cured?" Su Mowan stared in astonishment.

That's how it's solved.

Murong Jing snorted coldly as he spoke, "I've been busy all night, do you think I can't even cure this little bit of poison?"

"..."

Su Mowan closed her eyes and recalled for a moment, then opened them and looked at Murong Jing, saying firmly, "No, there was indeed another man I didn't recognize here last night."

"I say no!"

Murong Jing's expression was somewhat strange as he turned his eyes away. "If you remember what I did last night, you'll know how to cure this poison."

Su Mowan blinked, and suddenly her expression turned strange.

She quickly coughed and said, "This concubine does not remember. However, is Your Highness alright?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Jing's expression darkened again, and his cold gaze sent chills down Su Mowan's spine.

"What could possibly be wrong with me! Who gave you permission to act on your own last night? If that arrow had gone any lower, I wouldn't have had to save you!"

Su Mowan assumed that Murong Jing's expression clearly showed his anger at her stealing the spotlight, and immediately expressed her understanding: "Your Highness, please calm down. I was a little nervous at the time. Next time, I will definitely hide behind Your Highness!"

"..."

Murong Jing snorted coldly and called out to the outside, "Go and have Granny Wei bring the medicine in."

A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and Granny Wei asked for permission at the door.

Murong Jing said calmly, "Come in."

Su Mowan was still lying flat on the bed when she immediately tried to sit up.

Granny Wei put down the medicine bowl, intending to lend a hand, but Murong Jing waved her hand to stop her.

"Let me do it."

Granny Wei withdrew her hand and smiled ambiguously at Su Mowan.

Su Mowan was injured and didn't even bother to roll her eyes. After she sat up and leaned against the headboard, Granny Wei came over with a bowl of medicine. Su Mowan looked at the dark medicine and grinned.

Murong Jing suddenly said, "Granny, go and get some candied dates."

Su Mowan: "..."

Granny Wei left with a smile, and Su Mowan spoke with difficulty, "Your Highness, now that the poison has been neutralized, could this medicine—"

"cannot!"

Murong Jing coldly interrupted her, glaring at her: "How long do you intend to stay in my bed?"
