"It's great that Mr. Zhang can wake up. The Crown Prince will hold a banquet in this restaurant tomorrow night. Mr. Zhang is invited to the banquet." The eunuch, Ni Gong, said respectfully.
"Mr. Zhang has just woken up and almost can't walk around. How can he attend to the banquet?" Wu Shou was upright and seemed to refuse the invitation.
"Is that so? The Crown Prince gave you a hundred-year-old ginseng, a rare snow lotus that was found on the peak of the snow region, an oyster from the heartless sea. The general's body should have more or less recovered a little!" Although Ni Gong lowered his head and his posture was extremely humble, his words were threatening.
Wu Shou swallowed and didn't know how to answer.
He was a military doctor. He knew that the medicinal materials mentioned by Ni Gong just now were top-notch medicinal materials that couldn't be bought with only money. He had only seen them in medical books. Who would have thought that the prescriptions he had used these days were all of such high value; even one drop was worth a few taels of gold.
It was also because of these medicinal materials that Zhang Tianqing was saved from the gate of hell and recovered very quickly. Although she could not move freely as usual, it was not a problem for her to attend the banquet.
As the saying goes, gifts blind the eyes...
Wu Shou looked back at Zhang Tianqing.
"Let Li Muhan know. We will meet on time tomorrow night." Zhang Tianqing said.
"You are a decisive person. I'll report it to the Crown Prince immediately." Ni Gong said as he left.
The next evening, Li Muhan walked out of the wing-room where he lived. He saw a beautiful figure in front of him, and a strong smell of rouge powder was blowing on his face.
Li Muhan slowed down his footsteps warily and turned his body slightly. This beautiful figure seemed to have no bones in her body. She was determined to stick to Li Muhan's body. Her entire person flew out in a slanted manner.
Li Muhan frowned and quickly leaned to one side to avoid the lady's pounce. However, at the last moment, she still grabbed his wrist.
"Your Highness, thank you for holding me. I'm Bi Qiong." The voice of the woman who called herself Bi Qiong was like music to ears, and her eyes were charming. It was she who grabbed Li Muhan and avoided the embarrassment of falling on the ground with her face. But now she thanked Li Muhan. She had a glib tongue and was really a clever woman.
Unfortunately, such a glib person met Li Muhan.
Li Muhan's face was as cold as the thousand-year-old frost, and he was obviously angry. He shook off Bi Qiong so hard that she fell to the ground on her face.
Li Muhan habitually took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his wrist that had been grabbed by the woman. He was furious.
"Men, chop off this person's hand." Li Muhan left behind these words and strode away.
He had only taken two steps when he saw two other young women. They were all terrified and trembling all over. They did not dare to approach Li Muhan further.
This was the Guest Welcoming Hall, as well as Li Muhan's residence. It was heavily guarded outside, so it was impossible for ordinary people to enter. He soon figured out the identities of these women.
"Your Royal Highness, what did Bi Qiong do wrong? Why do you want to chop my hand? I was sent by the Empress to serve you!" Bi Qiong's crying voice came from behind Li Muhan. At this moment, she was still unwilling to believe that Li Muhan would really chop off her hand. She would never have imagined that she would be in such a miserable situation the moment she saw the Crown Prince after traveling from the capital to the border under the orders of the Empress.
"You're acting wildly and hiding your evil intentions. Chopping off your hand is already a small punishment." Li Muhan said in a cold voice, obviously speeding up his footsteps.
"Your Highness, please spare my life! Please!" Bi Qiong cried out in horror. She was pulled to the backyard of the restaurant by two guards.
It was only now that Bi Qiong realized that Li Muhan would never break his promise.
And her hand was really going to be chopped off!
A miserable scream lingered in the air above the restaurant. After Bi Qiong shouted for a while, there was no sound. She must have fainted due to the pain.
The other two beauties hugged each other, shivering as if they had seen an evil ghost. They just looked at Li Muhan and then returned to their wing-rooms in a hurry.
Rumors had it that the Crown Prince was as handsome as a deity that entered the lower realms. The first time they saw him just now, he was indeed looking so charming, but in the next second, he had become so The Empress wanted them to serve the Crown Prince closely. It would be best if they had children. However, in such a situation, how would they dare to approach him?.
