The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion

Chapter 267

The Fourth Princess tried her best to raise her voice.

"He was stung by the puppet gu, and the mother gu is with the Crown Prince. Once the Crown Prince finds out that he has been rescued, the Crown Prince will urge the mother gu to kill the child gu in his body. Once the child gu dies, Mo Yuance will not be able to survive either."

There was no need for the Fourth Princess to say this. Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were already well aware that if the rescue of Seventh Master Mo was discovered and the Crown Prince crushed the mother gu, then Seventh Master Mo's life would be lost.

What they needed to do first was to get the mother gu from the Crown Prince's hands. Only by doing so could they ensure absolute safety in rescuing Seventh Master Mo and removing the gu from him.

Mo Jiuye did not want to explain too much to the Fourth Princess about his wife's ability to remove gu.

"Princess, don't worry. Since I'm going to rescue my seventh brother, I will certainly consider all angles."

The Fourth Princess would never doubt Mo Jiuye's abilities. It was possible for him to successfully rescue Mo Yuance, but he would not be able to remove the gu from Mo Yuance.

"You can't rashly go to the dungeons. The Crown Prince's men are guarding there. Once they discover that Mo Yuance has been rescued, the Crown Prince will crush the mother gu and his life will be lost."

After the Fourth Princess said so much in one breath, she suddenly became breathless.

Lan Er was so frightened that she quickly pulled He Zhiran, "Master, please take another look at our princess. Lan Er begs you to save our princess. She is a good person."

What Lan Er wanted to say was that the princess had never done anything to wrong the Mo family. If it hadn't been for the princess' efforts to keep Seventh Master Mo there, Seventh Master Mo would have been sent out as a suicide soldier long ago. No one even knew now whether he was still alive.

Although unspoken, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye could understand the implication behind her words. There is always someone to blame. It was the Empress who had poisoned the Mo family's women, and it was Nan Heng who had plotted against the Mo family. The Fourth Princess was unrelated.

However, even with He Zhiran's excellent medical skills, there was no way to reverse the Fourth Princess' current condition.

When she first took the Fourth Princess' pulse, she wondered how such a young woman in her early twenties could have such a deteriorating body.

Now she knew. The Crown Prince's abuse was a possibility, but the gu worms in her body also played a major role.

Thinking of this, He Zhiran suddenly realized a problem.

Their main purpose in looking for the Fourth Princess was to get the placenta skin. Mo Jiuye had lost some sanity when he learned about his seventh brother's situation. She must not follow him in confusion.

So she nudged Mo Jiuye with her elbow and softly reminded: "Placenta skin."

With her reminder, Mo Jiuye remembered the real purpose for them to find the Fourth Princess.

"Princess, I came to the Crown Prince's mansion this time specifically to ask you for something."

The Fourth Princess slightly raised her increasingly heavy eyelids, "What else can you ask from me in this state of mine?"

Mo Jiuye hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I want the placenta skin from the princess' dowry."

"What do you want that useless thing for?"

Hearing the Fourth Princess ask this, Mo Jiuye could confirm that she did not know about the Empress poisoning the Mo family's women.

"Someone needs the placenta skin for medical treatment. I know that the princess has it in her dowry, so I came here to ask for the medicine."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Princess did not think much more. Placenta skin was an extremely rare item to begin with. Moreover, Mo Jiuye had escorted her to Nanjiang for her marriage back then, so it was not strange at all that he knew she had this item.

It was just that at the moment, she had no way of helping Mo Jiuye at all.

"The placenta skin is indeed still around, but unfortunately my dowry is no longer in my hands now."

Mo Jiuye frowned. Even in an ordinary family, they seldom touch a woman's dowry, let alone the Crown Prince's mansion of grand Nanjiang. How was it possible that they needed to supplement the Crown Prince's treasury with the Crown Prince Consort's dowry?

Seeing her mistress gasping for breath again, Lan Er explained, "Ninth Master doesn't know that my princess' dowry is now in Concubine Xiao's hands."

Mo Jiuye frowned and asked, "Where is Concubine Xiao?"

When it came to Concubine Xiao, it was obvious that Lan Er deeply loathed her.

"Concubine Xiao is greatly favored, so of course she lives closest to His Highness the Crown Prince."

They had judged the location of the Crown Prince's courtyard based on the singing and dancing sounds. Naturally, they had also carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Not far behind the Crown Prince's courtyard was an extremely luxurious place. That must be Concubine Xiao's residence.

Through this brief exchange, Mo Jiuye's earlier impulse was gone.

He asked solemnly, "Please, Princess, what does the gu raiser who brought my seventh brother here look like?"

The Fourth Princess recalled and said, "He was wearing a hood so I didn't see his appearance. I only know he is a man with a somewhat thin figure."

Mo Jiuye knew that the Fourth Princess did not intend to conceal anything. Since she said she did not see his face, then she definitely did not.

He Zhiran looked at the pitiful woman on the bed. If she had a way, she would also try to save her. After all, she was just over twenty years old and had not done anything detrimental against the Mo family.

Unfortunately, she was already at her last gasp. He Zhiran hoped she could be reborn into a good family in her next life and become an ordinary yet happy woman.

At that moment, the Fourth Princess suddenly felt choked. She could neither swallow nor cough it out, yet He Zhiran could see that she still had something to say.

So she hurriedly needled a few of her acupoints with silver needles.

"Princess, you have at most another fifteen minutes. Quickly say what you need to say."

The needles did have a significant effect. The Fourth Princess' breathing stabilized noticeably.

Lan Er and the other maid immediately knelt by the bedside, crying as they held her hands, "Princess, rest assured and move on. Yu Er and I will accompany you so you won't be lonely on the way."

The Fourth Princess forcefully held both maids' hands in return.

"No, I won't allow you to do that."

With effort, she looked towards Mo Jiuye, "Mo Jiuye, may This Palace ask you to help with something?"

With one glance, He Zhiran could see the Fourth Princess' intention. If not for the solemn occasion, she would definitely have said, the Ninth Master is attracting peach blossoms...

Mo Jiuye still did not understand the Fourth Princess' true intention. At this time, he really thought the Fourth Princess would entrust him with some important matter.

Such as letting the Emperor Shunwu know about her real cause of death.

Seeing that Mo Jiuye did not refute her words, the Fourth Princess slowly spoke, "My two maids, one named Yu Er and one named Lan Er, have served me since they were young. Although we are mistress and servant, we are as close as sisters. I don't want them to die meaninglessly in this foreign land like me."

"No... Princess, we want to follow you wherever you go."

The two maids were already prepared to die.

Mo Jiuye still could not see through the Fourth Princess' true intention.

"If it is within my ability, I can bring these two ladies back to Da Shun."

Of course he could bring them back to Da Shun, but he could not bring them to the capital city, otherwise his recent activities might be exposed.
