Chapter 130 -130: Leading the Second Prince into a Trap
Yun Weiwei was indeed clever.
She knew how to make a man feel pity for her.
However, although the Second Prince took pity on her and wouldn’t let her commit suicide, he certainly didn’t trust her as he had before.
In the future, whatever Bai Weiwei did, the Second Prince would definitely consider whether she was lying first in his heart.
Murong Jiu didn’t bandage the maid named Yu Zhi either, she remembered that in her previous life, this maid had helped the wicked and aided Yun Weiwei in doing many bad things.
She was no different than Bai Weiwei, unworthy of sympathy.
Seeing that the Second Prince was already holding Yun Weiwei in his arms, Murong Jiu simply sat in a chair and watched the excitement.
She couldn’t see the Second Prince’s expression, but when Yun Weiwei raised her head, she revealed a provoking cold smile to her.
Murong Jiu understood Yun Weiwei’s intention, she was deliberately provoking her so that she would get angry and not treat her properly, which would then anger the Second Prince.
However, her calculations were destined to fail.
Murong Jiu had now changed her mind, she decided to cure Yun Weiwei and let Murong Man and Yun Weiwei fight each other from the inside.
After the last palace banquet, her spy from Marquis Murong’s Mansion reported that Murong Man had tried several times to see the Second Prince, hoping to become the Second Princess Consort sooner.
If that was the case, then she might as well lend Murong Man a helping hand.
Of course, before that, treating Yun Weiwei properly was also paving the way for Murong Man.
“Cough.”
Murong Jiu cleared her throat.
Although she enjoyed watching the excitement, her time was limited. She had promised Yu Yan to accompany him for dinner.
When the Second Prince heard her voice, he hurriedly released Yun Weiwei.
“Ah Jiu, I apologize for the scene. Weiwei has been delicate since childhood, relying only on me. She did this to get more of my attention,” he explained to Murong Jiu.
Yun Weiwei clenched her fingers quietly.
Before, her cousin had never cared about Murong Jiu’s thoughts, but now he was taking the initiative to explain.
Murong Jiu said, “People with heartaches should not undergo drastic emotional fluctuations. I came today to treat Miss Cousin, but if Miss Cousin does not cooperate, I think I might not come again.”
“She will cooperate, Weiwei has long wanted to get rid of her frail constitution,” the Second Prince said.
He remembered Yun Weiwei always telling him how she yearned to go outside and play, but her body wouldn’t permit her to leave home.
Little did he know, Yun Weiwei was feeling somewhat panicked inside.
The reason her cousin pitied her was her frail body poisoned for his sake. If her heart condition suddenly got better, would her cousin still come to see her?
But on second thought, if her body became healthy, she could do more things to secure her position in her cousin’s eyes.
So she spoke up, “What cousin says is true. Weiwei’s lifelong dream has been to get better, to go out boating, enjoy the greenery, climb mountains, worship at the temples, all these are things Weiwei longs for.”
Hearing this, the Second Prince felt even more pity for her.
His cousin had been unable to go out like normal people because of him.
Very good, Murong Jiu was satisfied.
Next, she began the acupuncture treatment for Yun Weiwei.
She had specifically discussed Yun Weiwei’s condition with her master, who improved upon the basis of her acupuncture technique and prescribed a new set of treatments.
After all, Yun Weiwei’s heart condition wasn’t congenital; those were the hardest to treat.
Rather, Yun Weiwei’s condition stemmed from being poisoned in her food as a child, which had damaged her heart meridian, leading to frequent heartaches.
At the heart of the matter lay the difficulty in clearing the toxins from the heart meridian.
Since Murong Jiu wanted to cure it in one go, she consulted with her master and was fully confident in her treatment plan.
After the acupuncture, Murong Jiu then took out several pills and had Yun Weiwei take them.
Yun Weiwei hesitated and looked at the Second Prince.
The Second Prince assured her to take them at ease, believing that Murong Jiu wouldn’t possibly harm his cousin.
It was all because of him that Murong Jiu was treating his cousin so attentively.
Not long after taking the pills, Yun Weiwei suddenly vomited several mouthfuls of black blood.
She exclaimed in panic, “Cousin, cousin, I’m not going to die, am I? Those pills…”
“What you’ve vomited out is the old poisonous blood accumulated in your heart meridian.”
Murong Jiu said calmly, gesturing to Chun Tao who was carrying the medicine box, then turned around and planned to leave.
The Second Prince was initially a bit worried, but upon seeing the blood Yun Weiwei vomited and the genuine flush of color returning to her usually pale complexion, he immediately felt reassured. Seeing that Murong Jiu wanted to leave, he quickly followed her.
“Ah Jiu, it’s almost time for the meal, why don’t you stay for dinner before leaving? I’ll have the kitchen prepare some dishes you like.”
Murong Jiu turned around and asked, “Does Your Highness know what dishes I like to eat? Why don’t you name a couple for me to hear?”
The Second Prince was choked up, indeed unable to name a single one.
He had never paid attention to what Murong Jiu liked to eat, nor had he ever asked.
In contrast, Jun Yuyan remembered every dish she liked to eat, every fruit snack, clearly.
With this in mind, Murong Jiu was anxious to return, as Jun Yuyan was waiting for her at the mansion.
He had been jealous when she left and wanted to accompany her.
“Ah Jiu, I’ve been too preoccupied with numerous matters recently, so distracted that my memory has worsened. Please don’t mind it, okay? You know my feelings for you. Even when you had a birthmark on your face before, I never despised you. What I like is your resilient heart, it’s you as a person that I like. I don’t know what others have said to you, making you avoid me as if I were a viper, but my heart for you has never changed.”
The Second Prince, fearing she would leave, confessed his feelings to her regardless of the occasion, while Bai Weiwei, who was in the room, heard everything clear as day, nearly crushing a silver tooth in frustration.
“And the child in your belly, that is our child, I’ve even thought of a name for him. Ah Jiu, please leave Eldest Imperial Brother and come back to me, okay?”
Murong Jiu suppressed the repulsion and hatred in her heart.
It wasn’t the time to openly break with him yet; she knew Jun Haoze all too well. Once she turned against him, Jun Haoze would surely not hesitate to eliminate her.
While she herself wasn’t afraid, she had two children in her belly.

Moreover, there’s a saying that a thief cannot be on guard forever, who knows when Jun Haoze might secretly move against her? And it’s impossible for her to never leave the Prince Mansion.
It would only be time to openly break when Jun Haoze was completely defeated and taken down from his position.
Just as Murong Jiu was about to respond, suddenly, one of the Second Prince’s aides, frantic with urgency, ran over.
“Your Highness! Your Highness! There’s urgent news!”
“No matter how important the matter, it’s not as important as the person before me. You may leave first,” the Second Prince said.
“But, but…”
The aide was so anxious he began to stamp his feet.
Murong Jiu remembered that Jun Yuyan had said he had laid a trap for the Second Prince to fall into and speculated that this aide must have learned of the Third Prince’s situation at the Yingtian Academy to be acting so agitated.
Showing an expression of weariness, she said, “I’m very tired from performing the acupuncture today, I would like to return to the mansion to rest, Your Highness the Second Prince can attend to his affairs first.”
Seeing that she indeed looked very tired, and considering the aide’s urgency, presumably a serious matter had arisen, the Second Prince allowed her to be sent back first.
“What has happened?”
Once inside the study, the Second Prince immediately asked in a grave voice.
