Chapter 117 Take action
Prince Chen did not expect Yun Shang to arrive so quickly.
Has he fully regained his memory? Or... did he never lose his memory at all?
Thinking of this, Prince Chen's gaze darkened.
At this moment, Mingwei led Yunshang in.
Prince Chen looked up.
Yun Shang was wearing a low-key light gray robe today. The cotton fabric had no embellishments, and such inconspicuous clothing looked understated yet luxurious on him.
Even Prince Chen had to admit that Yun Shang's appearance and demeanor were probably unmatched in the entire capital.
No wonder Wang Wanshu was so obsessed with him.
The thought of Wang Wanshu made Prince Chen rub his temples.
He gestured for Yun Shang to sit down, "You've remembered everything?"
Yun Shang sat down to the side, her tone calm, "I've remembered most of it."
Prince Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze towards Yun Shang becoming somewhat profound. "Tell me the truth, is your amnesia truly due to a head injury?"
Yun Shang was not surprised that Prince Chen would ask about this matter, nor did he intend to hide it for Wang Wanshu.
He shook his head slightly and said calmly, "No."
"After examining me, Dr. Feng, the resident physician at Min'an Hall, said that my previous memory loss was due to a rare poison."
Prince Chen knew about Doctor Feng of Min'an Hall.
He was recently specially hired by Min'an Hall as a resident doctor. I heard that he has superb medical skills and has cured many difficult and complicated diseases in the city.
Prince Chen frowned, hesitatingly asking, "That poison was... administered by Tianyin?"
Yun Shang did not answer directly, but only looked at Prince Chen, everything was understood without words.
The veins on Prince Chen's forehead throbbed violently. Even though he had anticipated this outcome, he couldn't help but feel a surge of rage.
"Mingwei!" he said, suppressing his anger. "Bring Tianyin here."
Mingwei glanced at Yunshang with a conflicted expression, then looked at Prince Chen, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Seeing that Prince Chen's face had turned pale with anger, he ultimately said nothing and went to the backyard to bring Wang Wanshu over.
Wang Wanshu had initially thought that Prince Chen would continue to avoid her, but she hadn't expected him to agree to see her so quickly.
I was overjoyed.
She always knew how to soften her cousin's heart and how to get him to forgive her.
She had nowhere to use her skills when she couldn't see her cousin, but now that she can see him, why should she be afraid that he will continue to be angry with her?
Therefore, Wang Wanshu couldn't help but smile as she walked from the backyard to the front hall.
As she walked outside the front hall, she heard Prince Chen's voice coming from inside.
Just as he was about to go in, Mingwei stopped him.
Mingwei said, "Princess, please wait a moment while I go and inform them."
In the past, Wang Wanshu would have gone straight in, but thinking that Prince Chen was still angry with her, she obediently nodded and treated Mingwei with a relatively kind attitude, "Thank you for your hard work, Guard Ming."
Mingwei remained unmoved.
The princess can charm the prince, but he won't fall for that trick.
He hadn't forgotten how much trouble the princess had caused lately.
The prince's health was already poor, and it has deteriorated significantly recently.
This is all because of Princess Tianyin.
"Your Highness, the Princess has arrived," Mingwei announced as he entered.
Upon hearing this, Prince Chen merely raised his eyelids and said in a completely calm tone, "Let her kneel outside until I tell her to get up."
Mingwei was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Is Your Highness preparing to punish the Princess?
Yun Shang glanced outside the hall out of the corner of his eye, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Prince Chen saw him glance outside and sighed, "Tianyin has been spoiled by me. It is because I have always indulged her that she has caused so much trouble. Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on her in the future."
Yun Shang did not believe what Prince Chen said.
He used to believe.
But Prince Chen's repeated indulgence and pampering of Wang Wanshu made him realize that no matter how fair Prince Chen was in rewarding and punishing others, he was always biased and indulgent towards Wang Wanshu.
Instead of hoping that Prince Chen would severely punish her, she might as well place her hopes on herself.
Yun Shang showed no outward expression; he simply withdrew his gaze and continued to tell Prince Chen about what had happened in Wushaoling.
"Those people used gunpowder when the cave collapsed in order to completely erase all traces..."
Outside the door, Wang Wanshu could hardly believe what she had just heard.
"My cousin wants me to kneel here as punishment? Impossible! How could my cousin humiliate me like this?!"
"I want to see my cousin, I want my cousin to see me!"
Wang Wanshu's shouts reached the room, and Prince Chen's brow twitched. He could no longer bear it and had no choice but to get up and walk to the door.
Yun Shang lowered her eyes, moved her hand hidden in her sleeve, and followed.
Upon seeing Prince Chen, Wang Wanshu's eyes reddened, and she was about to cry when she suddenly saw Yun Shang, and she paused in surprise.
Her eyes lit up immediately, and she couldn't help but run forward a few steps, exclaiming joyfully, "Yun Shang! What brings you here? You've come to see me, right?"
Prince Chen felt extremely embarrassed and scolded, "Tianyin, watch your manners!"
Wang Wanshu dared not act too willfully in front of Yun Shang. As soon as Prince Chen spoke, she lowered her eyes shyly and replied softly, "Yes."
Immediately, her gaze, like a clingy sweet treat, remained fixed on Yun Shang for a moment.
Prince Chen's face immediately darkened.
He said coldly, "It seems that even after so many days of confinement, you haven't reflected on anything."
"From this moment on, you will kneel here before me. You may rise again only when you have fully reflected on your actions!"
Wang Wanshu's pupils constricted slightly, and she blurted out, "I won't kneel. Why should I kneel?"
Prince Chen's eyes grew even colder. Thinking of how she poisoned Yun Shang, he almost couldn't contain his anger.
Do I need to spell out what you've done?
"Tianyin, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Do you really think no one can discover the tricks you've played on Yunshang?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Wanshu's face turned pale.
She glanced nervously at Yun Shang beside her, stammering, "You...you all..."
Prince Chen said, "We know."
Wang Wanshu's mind went blank for a moment, her thoughts a jumbled mess.
She instinctively took a few steps closer to Yun Shang, reaching out to grab his hand, anxiously explaining, "Yun Shang, I didn't mean to, I just like you so much, I just want you to like me..."
Yun Shang raised his hand and brushed her hand away, his expression indifferent.
"I, Yun, am unworthy of the princess's affection."
Prince Chen grabbed Wang Wanshu's hand, his eyes chillingly cold. "Kneel down and reflect on your actions!"
Tears welled up in Wang Wanshu's eyes. She bit her lip hard, shook her head, and backed away, "No, I won't kneel!"
"People come and go here. If I am forced to kneel here as punishment, everyone in this mansion will know that I have been punished. How can I have the face to stay here then?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Chen laughed in anger.
"So you used to have any sense of shame?"
"It's all my fault for spoiling you so much, Mingwei, make her kneel down!"
Mingwei rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. "Yes!"
Wang Wanshu's tears fell like a broken string of pearls. "Cousin, have you forgotten my parents' dying wish so quickly? You promised them you would take care of me for the rest of my life and never let me suffer the slightest grievance, but what have you done now?!"
She choked out a roar.
The coldness on Prince Chen's face began to falter.
Yun Shang watched this scene and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
The next moment, Wang Wanshu's voice rang out again, "How can you treat me like this now? How can you face the kindness my parents showed you?"
Because of the fact that the Wang couple took the blame for Consort Duan, Prince Chen and Consort Duan have always felt guilty.
But it's one thing for them to actively protect Wang Wanshu, and quite another for Wang Wanshu to take advantage of their kindness.
Prince Chen's gaze turned completely cold.
