Marry a Duke

Chapter 187 Failed

When Eunuch Liu reported that the wife of the Duke of Weiguo had arrived, everyone was stunned.

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes.

Wei Xuan had a blank expression on his face.

The emperor waved his hand and asked Eunuch Liu to call the person in.

Fu Ran knelt down to pay her respects. The emperor asked her to stand up. She stood up and stood beside Wei Xuan. The wound on her face looked very terrible. She applied medicine on it, and in order to prevent the medicine from falling off, she tied a thin gauze around it, which almost covered half of her face.

The injury is real.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?" The eldest princess looked at her and thought she was just trying to gain sympathy.

Fu Ran knelt down again.

Report to the Emperor everything that has happened in the past few days.

The eldest princess immediately accused her of lying.

"You and Wei Xuan, you two have such vicious hearts. Don't forget that you were just an insignificant little maid in my house. I didn't care about your background, I adopted you as my adopted daughter and married you to Wei Xuan. You two are so cruel and ruthless that you turned around and bit your benefactor fiercely."

The eldest princess' accusations weighed heavily on him.

Fu Ran's back was still straight.

"In the eyes of the princess, my life is not as important as an ant on the ground. In front of the emperor, I dare not tell a lie." She made the most poisonous oath in the world.

"That's enough." Wei Xuan helped her up, "Your Majesty, she is just a woman and doesn't understand the world. Please don't blame her."

The expression on the emperor's face turned pale and blue, and his inner emotions were in turmoil.

Wei Xuan is not a good actor.

There was no way he could get his wife to join him in acting.

This time, I’m afraid it really is my eldest sister’s fault.

If Fu Ran really wanted to slander her elder sister, she could have hurt herself anywhere on her body, but she didn't. She hurt her face.

A woman's face is so important. If she is hurt like this, she may never be able to show her true face to anyone again. The price is too high.

The emperor ordered someone to call the imperial physician over.

After the imperial physician's examination, he confirmed that the wound on Fu Ran's face was real and very long. It would not be easy to avoid scars and it would require slow treatment.

If you are not careful, it is very likely to turn into a scar that can never be erased.

The princess saw that the emperor's mind changed.

Want to win him back immediately.

Unexpectedly, the emperor ordered the imperial guards to investigate.

Find out the truth before making plans.

The eldest princess left angrily with a wave of her sleeves.

Wei Xuan and Fu Ran waited for a while before leaving. The imperial physician gave them some medicine. The emperor ordered the imperial physician to go to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion every day to treat Fu Ran in the next few days.

Make sure the wound on Fu Ran's face can heal without leaving any scars.

Fu Ran thanked God for his grace.

On the way back, Fu Ran said nothing. The wound on her face was burning with pain.

She could still bear it.

From having no expression on his face to finally dozing with his eyes closed.

"Why do you have to rush to the palace? What if the emperor doesn't believe you? Do you know what will happen to you?" The carriage was moving forward, and the candlelight was shining as the interior of the carriage swayed.

"I haven't thought so much about it. The eldest princess wants to take you down and surpass you in everything, even to take away your title. If the emperor doesn't give you power, even if you are the Duke of Weiguo, it will be of no use." He was just a defeated nobleman.

The glory will not last for many years.

"Wei Xuan, what you did was not wrong. The eldest princess's concern is not for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. I don't want Wuyou to grow up and face a ruined family."

Fu Ran said calmly.

"You underestimate our country." Wei Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Fu Ran shook his head.

"I have never underestimated the Duke of Wei. The Duke is so capable that others would not have the courage to do so even if they wanted to. However, the eldest princess' blood relationship with the emperor is stronger than anyone else's. Wei Xiuning, I am a victim, a sufferer, and I should seek redress for myself."

How miserable she was.

She touched the wound on her face.

"Now, I am like this, standing in front of you, the difference is even greater. After a few days, when my injury is better, I will go to Xuzhou from the Yuchi family."

She called him in advance.

Don't refuse to let them go when the time comes.

In the past, she was of humble origin and was controlled by the eldest princess, but she looked good. Now even her face is ruined. In their eyes, she probably doesn't have any advantages at all.

"How can this Duke be a superficial person?" His voice seemed even colder in the dark night. "Fu Ran, how dare you maliciously seize the Duke's title."

There is no malice.

She obviously means well, okay?

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I have no ill intentions. I am just stating the reality." She closed her eyes and rested, feeling a little tired. The tossing and turning of the past few days had made her mind even more confused.

Then, her mind became a little confused.

No matter what Wei Xuan asked, she just responded perfunctorily, her words were irrelevant.

He didn't ask any more.

By the time the carriage arrived at the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, Fu Ran had already fallen into a deep sleep and did not respond even when she was called.

Wei Xuan personally carried the person down and back to Chaoguangyuan.

The next morning, Yuchi Mingxiu rushed over.

He was supposed to come last night.

It was Shen Yan who stopped him.

Even if he went to the Duke of Weiguo's mansion late at night, they might not let him in.

Yuchi Mingxiu didn't care at first, but he listened to Shen Yan and waited until dawn before rushing over, just because he didn't want to embarrass Fu Ran.

After entering the mansion, he went to Qingfuyuan, explained his purpose to Madam Wei, and went straight to Chaoguangyuan.

The servants couldn't stop him.

Fu Ran slept late last night and hasn't gotten up yet. Wei Xuan, on the other hand, got up early, but he's not seen yet.

"Madam, Master Yuchi is here. He is the cousin from the Shen family and your brother." Yudi hurried over to report.

Fu Ran opened his eyes, but his eyelids were still heavy.

If no one disturbed her, she could sleep for another half day.

Now that Yuchi Mingxiu was here, she couldn't keep him waiting for long.

When she changed her clothes and put on makeup to meet people, Yuchi Mingxiu had been waiting for a long time. Fortunately, he could play with Wuyou.

Wuyou is cute and Yuchi Mingxiu likes him very much. He thinks that this is his younger sister's child and he will definitely be the treasure of the entire Yuchi family in the future.

Fu Ran came out to see Yuchi Mingxiu, but Shen Yan did not come.

"Brother, why are you here so early?" Fu Ran asked him.

"I've been worried about what happened last night. I couldn't see you in person to make sure you were okay. I didn't sleep all night and felt uneasy. Now that I see you, I feel much more relieved." Yuchi Mingxiu looked her up and down, his eyes fell on her face, and there was some pain in his eyes.

"It's all my fault. I failed to protect you and let you suffer so much. You have to wear such a long bandage and I don't know how badly your face is injured." Yuchi Mingxiu felt extremely guilty.

I wish I could have blocked the knife for Fu Ran at that time.

He is a man, and he can survive even if his entire face is destroyed.

This world is even more malicious towards women.

It is not appropriate for women to show their faces in public, and now that she is in this state, it is even more impossible.
