Coming of the Villain Boss! - Chapter 782

Chapter 782: The Prince Is Well (31)

Ming Shu handled Prince Nine in a quick and violent manner.

As for Prince Three and Prince Six, things didn’t go as easily. They both suffered heavy losses as they fought for the throne. In the end, Prince Six won by a small margin.

Ming Shu felt that the emperor wanted to see his sons killing each other and he would let the person who won have the throne.

When the emperor saw Prince Six, he was not surprised at all. He seemed to have expected it.

Later on, Prince Six mentioned that he thought he hid really well but in actual fact, the emperor knew everything.

The first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to find highly skilled physicians and cooks from all around the world.

It was equally hard finding good cooks and good physicians.

Song Yunyan was really lucky too. Besides feeling uncomfortable occasionally, she lived quite well.

Ming Shu felt that it didn’t matter if they cured her or not. Either way, she would not die.

The greatest obstacle was that she might faint when they were in the middle of doing their thing.

However, Prince Six was really persistent. Since she ate so much of his food, Ming Shu finally told him the method. However, it was up to fate whether the method would work or not.

–

In the third year after Prince Six ascended the throne, a huge mass of people suddenly entered the Capital and went to look for Yi’an Mansion. They wanted to get an answer from Yi’an Mansion.

They said that Ming Shu sold fake treasure maps.

These were the people who bought the treasure maps in the first place. They followed the map and went to find the treasures.

After enduring so many hardships, they finally saw—a sea.

The ending was the sea!!

Ming Shu didn’t come out. Lord Yi’an was the one that gave these people a lesson.

The map had been passed down for so long. There had to be some changes over time. If the ending was the sea, it just meant that the burial grounds were near the sea in the past and after so many years, the land eroded and it became part of the sea.

If not, it would mean that some big changes happened and the burial ground was submerged underwater.

After finishing the lesson, he added, “If the treasure can really be found, would you all be the ones to find it?”

Everyone: “…”

The imperial family had a special treasure hunting team. The treasure maps that Lord Yi’an had were maps passed down from the various emperors after they failed to find any treasures according to the map. They were useless treasure maps.

Longevity was enticing, but if it was in the depths of the sea, who could go down there to find it?

–

Ji Xun dug his own grave every day since he knew he was stupid.

The entire mansion knew that the princess consort wanted to divorce the prince.

Hence, Ming Shu would always go out and hide from him.

“I didn’t think that you would be selling real maps,” Lord Number One exclaimed.

“When did I ever lie to people?”

“You tricked me into barbecuing meat yesterday,” Lord Number Two complained.

“Is that lying?” Ming Shu narrowed her eyes at him. She corrected him righteously. “That is called strategy.”

The three foppish lords sniggered. They had been interacting with Ming Shu for a while and didn’t find her so scary anymore.

The three lords had opened Yunxi Pavilion in various parts of the country. Although the status of a merchant was lowly in this era, they had people above them so they didn’t care at all.

Lord Number Three suddenly asked, “Princess Consort, why didn’t the prince follow you today?”

“I threw him off.”

“The prince will definitely come after a while,” Lord Number One said, “do you want to bet?”

“No, no. I lost last time.” Lords Number Two and Three shook their heads at the same time.

Just as they were talking, Ji Xun had appeared not far away from them.

The three lords exchanged glances with each other. He’s here.

“Wife…” Ji Xun ran over pitifully. Tears were already swimming in his eyes.

Ming Shu’s head hurt. “Stop crying!”

Ji Xun: “…” F**k, do you think that I want to cry? I would violate my character profile if I didn’t cry.

The character setting was not allowed to be violated.

He was a genius with professionalism.

Ji Xun continued tearing up.

“If you continue crying, we will divorce!”

Sure…

Ah no! Divorce for what! I will not divorce!

Ji Xun started sobbing. His tears fell down furiously. The three lords huddled together and shrunk to the side.

Ji Xun’s instant crying technique was really good now.

Ming Shu was so annoyed she couldn’t even eat comfortably. She stood up. “Ancestor, stop crying.”

Ji Xun, idiot, ancestor: “…” I will cry. Let’s see if I can disgust you!

“Let’s go home.” Ming Shu grabbed Ji Xun and left. She waved at the people behind her.

Ji Xun looked back at the three lords and gave them an innocent smile.

There were still tears on his face so that expression seemed a little eerie.

The three lords: “…” Why is the prince smiling at us!! We didn’t do anything to the princess consort!

They just invited her… to eat some food.

Once they returned to the mansion, Ji Xun sniffed and asked, “Wife, like, me?”

“No, raise your arms.” Ming Shu took off his outerwear which got dirty from who knows where and put on a new one for him.

“Why?”

“You are stupid.”

“I am not stupid!” Ji Xun puffed up his cheeks. He was unconvinced. “I, smart.”

“Heh heh.”

Ji Xun suddenly pounced at Ming Shu and they both rolled onto the floor. All the things on the table fell onto the floor.

The servant girl outside ran in. “Prince, Princess Consort, what…”

The servant girl’s face turned red immediately. “I didn’t see anything.”

She ran out after she finished her sentence and closed the door on the way.

–

Ming Shu kept being pestered by Ji Xun all day. He didn’t have any reaction even if she scolded or hit him. What could she do?

She felt hopeless too.

She could only eat more snacks so that she would have more stamina to fight this crazy person.

Ming Shu hugged a plate of cakes and walked back from the kitchen as she sighed miserably.

The servant girl ran over hurriedly and bumped into Ming Shu. She greeted her in a flurry. “Princess… Consort.”

Ming Shu protected her snacks. She didn’t really care about the servant girl at the start but when she saw her pale face, she asked, “What happened? Why are you in such a flurry?”

“Prince… Prince suddenly fainted,” the servant girl said. “I am going to find a physician.”

Ming Shu was stunned.

Ji Xun suddenly fainted so the people who attended to him got quite a huge fright too.

Ji Xun was in a coma. The physician came over but couldn’t tell anything at all. He just said that Ji Xun’s life was dwindling away.

Lord Yi’an sent someone into the palace to invite the imperial physicians.

The imperial physicians gave a more accurate answer.

Ji Xun’s body was deteriorating.

Just like a young man who suddenly became an old man.

The food that the servants gave to Ji Xun had all been tested for poison before sending them over. It was not a poison.

The imperial physician also said that there was no poison in Ji Xun’s body. His body was just deteriorating.

“Why did this happen?” Lord Yi’an grabbed the imperial physician. “Look at him again, why would something like this happen to Xun-er? He was still fine… I saw him all lively…”

“Lord… Lord, calm down.” The imperial physician shivered in fear.

If there was no need for them, they really didn’t want to come.

After all, if anything happened to the prince, they didn’t know what Lord Yi’an would do.

“Did Xun-er get poisoned? Look at him carefully!!” Lord Yi’an grabbed the imperial physician and didn’t want to let him go.

“The prince… he really wasn’t poisoned.” The imperial physician wanted to cry.

“Then why did Xun-er became like this?”

“This…” They didn’t know, either.

This was the first time they saw something as strange as this.

“Lousy physician! A bunch of lousy physicians!” Lord Yi’an didn’t get any answer so he started scolding them.

Imperial physicians: “…” Although they were not lousy physicians, they didn’t dare to refute him now.

Being a lousy physician was better than losing their lives.

Let them be lousy physicians.
