Divine Doctor Mo’s treatment gradually improved Xiao Tianyao’s legs conditions. However, Divine Doctor Mo still can’t guarantee that his legs would return to its original state. But, he can make sure that Xiao Tianyao would be able to stand up and walk.

  Hearing such news, they should be jumping from happiness. But, Xiao Tianyao and his wife were not. Because…… ……

  There was a big commotion going on from the outside!

  *

  Early this morning, a group of scholar students gathered and shouts tremendously outside the Xiao Wangfu. Because they want Xiao Tianyou to get out and confess his sins to the family of the deceased soldiers.

  Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu knows that someone deliberately made a rumor out of Xiao Tianyao’s gossip plan about him taking a break to political issues to focus taking care of his wife.

  However, because of that someone, his said gossip plan turns into a more and more dramatic case. And soon, Xiao Tianyao became a hypocrite, coward, lustful and a military exploiter in the eyes of the citizens. And now, the citizens are even thinking that Xiao Tianyao’s achievements were fake. And that he only robbed it to someone else.

  Obviously, that someone who instigated those rumors has a nose and eyes to the details in the palace because his depicted information sounds so real. And if Lin Chujiu herself didn’t know Xiao Tianyao personally. She might even think that those rumors were true.

  While the rumors were spreading, the palace court officials even dare to make another movement by impeaching Xiao Tianyao’s mentor due to being corrupt. And because of the said corruption, it gave birth to the death of ten of thousands of soldiers during the war. And because of it too, the family of the deceased soldiers didn’t even receive a penny that they should have received. And due to their miserable state, the family was forced to sell their children and daughters.

  In just a short moment, this issue in the palace court immediately spread in the capital. So, Xiao Tianyao’s reputation hit the very bottom. And now, in the eyes of all the citizen of East Country, Xiao Tianyao is no longer the God of War of the East. Instead, he became the Sinner of the East.

  And all of this happened because of Lin Xiang, Lin Chujiu’s father.

  Fortunately, in regard to this matter, Xiao Tianyao didn’t say anything nor speak about it to Lin Chujiu. After all, her attitude recently shows that they were merely a father and a daughter in named.

  Another fortunate thing is that, Xiao Tianyao didn’t get angry nor blamed her. Which is very different to his attitude before. Because of this, Lin Chujiu had a little peace of mind.

  However, this is a moment where she shouldn’t forget that she is her father’s daughter, so she needs to be very careful. She can’t control the wind and rain from outside, she can only do her best. So, if Xiao Tianyao will ask for more effort, she’ll try to finish them too. Lin Chujiu wanted to discuss this with Xiao Tianyao to try settling the matter, but she didn’t expect…… ……

  The corruption issue that hasn’t been proven yet will already turn the citizens into madness and incite trouble in Xiao Wangfu.

  “Wangye, the scholar students that had gathered outside keeps shouting in anger. There were some old and young family members of the deceased and wounded soldiers too. They want Wangye to give a statement.” Housekeeper Cao reported while constantly patting his sweats: “The guardsmen have blocked the gates, but if those group of citizens will still force their way inside. I’m afraid it won’t take long before……”


  Xiao Wangfu didn’t expect that things would turn out like this, so they don’t know how will they end this up. In order to force Xiao Tianyao to get outside, the Emperor didn’t even hesitate to act to this extent.

  “Get ready, Benwang …… ……” Xiao Tianyao said, but he hasn’t finished his words when Lin Chujiu interrupted him by saying: “Wangye, I’ll go, let me deal with it.”


  Lin Chujiu stand up and said without any hesitation. She is not sure if she could settle the issue outside, but she must stand up because there was no other choice.

  With Housekeeper Cao’s report, she can imagine what will happen to Xiao Wangfu. This is because of her father, so if Xiao Tianyao will get into an accident, she could only blame herself. She could no longer stay in Xiao Wangfu if it will be destroyed. And if her father succeeds, he will definitely not let her stay as Princess Xiao.

  However, even if Xiao Tianyao can get out from this predicament. She can’t guarantee that Xiao Wangfu won’t be put in a difficult position. After all, they didn’t let her prepare from this.

  “Wangfei, those people outside are acting like crazy. They don’t have a sense of propriety right now. It will be bad if Wangfei will meet them.” Housekeeper Cao came forward to persuade Lin Chujiu.

  It’s not like Housekeeper Cao doesn’t believe in Lin Chujiu, it’s more like he’s afraid for her to get in trouble. Because if something embarrassing happens to Lin Chujiu, their Wangye can still accept her. But, the royal family will definitely not.

  Xiao Tianyao didn’t speak, but he looked at Lin Chujiu. He knew the reason why she is doing this. She wanted to keep her promise, she wanted to prove that she is useful.

  Lin Chujiu knows that it’s very dangerous outside, so what can she do?

  Lin Chujiu wry smile, then said: “I am Princess Xiao. Xiao Wangfu’s Imperial Mistress. Aside from me, who else can deal with this matter? Wangye can’t go out. Doctor Mo said that the treatment had reached the critical moment, so there shouldn’t be any slightest mistake.”


  “But, Wangfei you …… ……” are only a weak woman, so what’s the use?

  HousekeeperCao bitterly looks at Xiao Tianyao. Hoping that he would say something to stop her. However, Xiao Tianyao said: “Can you solve the problem outside?”


  “I wouldn’t know unless I’ll try. Wangye, cannot go out. Apart from me, who else in the family will come forward?” Lin Chujiu gradually calms down herself and started writing a manuscript inside her heart.

  With all the crisis she dealt in this world, Lin Chujiu learned a thing or two. However, she doesn’t know if those things are quite enough, but she is willing to put everything on the line.

  The treatment of the world to classy people are obviously different. The treatment between aristocracy and commoners are a world apart. So the behavior of these ordinary people to besieged Xiao Wangfu can be said to be very outrageous. The law exists to arrest the person who had sinned, so they don’t need to make a big trouble like this.

  Xiao Tianyao looks at Lin Chujiu’s eyes deeply, then nodded his head and said: “Well, you can go. Benwang will believe you this once.”


  Obviously, Lin Chujiu is helping him to get out from this danger, but he is still a strong headed as ever. However, Lin Chujiu really need this opportunity, so that her position in Xiao Wangfu remain.

  Lin Chujiu shook her head and no longer think. She turned around and let Housekeeper Cao help her to prepare Xiao Tianyao’s clothes.

  On the battlefield, the armor is indispensable. However, for a woman, her gallant life is her best armor!

  *

  Divine Doctor Mo and Mo Yuer doesn’t know what’s happening to the outside. So, when they saw Lin Chujiu coming out, the two of them got puzzled. However, they don’t want to ask her directly, so they said instead: “Wangfei, you’re going out from Jing Tian Courtyard? Aren’t you going to massage Wangye’s legs? Are you going back?”


  Their series of questions made Lin Chujiu’s mood turn bad. So, she replied with full of dissatisfaction: “Doctor Mo, I am not a prisoner and Jing Tian Courtyard is not my cage. So, me, going out is not your business. Oh, about Wangye? Rest assured, because this princess will be back on time.”


  After Lin Chujiu finished, she just walk away and didn’t even look back. At that moment, the atmosphere around her looks very powerful, so Divine Doctor Mo got even startled: Is she the same woman I met before?

  Mo Yuer also couldn’t help but look at Lin Chujiu in a daze when she saw her walking straight followed by eight guardsmen. She doesn’t look all that mighty, but the atmosphere around her won’t definitely be copied by ordinary women.

  Is this how a young noble lady from the capital suppose to act? Or an Imperial Princess?

  Mo Yuer looked in trance ……
