The Princess’s Inner Thoughts Were Overheard by Her Emperor Father

Chapter 217

Xiao Chuchu dared not watch Yuan Kaizhi being killed on the spot, covering her eyes with her hands.

But unexpectedly, through a small gap, her 'gossip eye' still caught sight of the system text next to Yuan Kaizhi's terrified face.

With this, she stumbled upon a huge piece of gossip.

Immediately, her inner thoughts flowed, [So it turns out it's not the King of Chu who can't have children, it's the Yuan King!]

[The Yuan King can't get aroused when he sees women!]

[That's why he's been so obsessed with the Fucha Noble Consort he encountered by chance, he found her stunningly beautiful and wanted to snatch her away, wondering if she could make him feel something...]

Xiao Chuchu was dumbfounded by this major revelation.

[The Empress of Yuan Country is too pitiful, after the royal wedding, the Yuan King refuses to light lamps every night, wanting to be in darkness, making her believe that's what real consummation is like, but it's not... She's been deceived all this time.]

[Good grief, the Yuan King is committing marriage fraud!]

Xiao Chuchu's eyes were opened wide, and she couldn't help but curse inwardly.

[The Yuan Empress still thinks she's the one who can't bear children, feeling it's her own problem, consumed by guilt.]

[But she's still a virgin, how on earth could she give birth!]

[As a result, this damned Yuan King uses the excuse that the empress can't bear children to constantly emotionally abuse her, confining her, when in reality he's just afraid that one day she'll figure it out and reveal that he's impotent! If the empress's family learns the truth, would they rebel?]

Xiao Chuchu was filled with indignation.

Xiao Yunzhou listening beside her was rendered speechless, finally snapping back to his senses at this moment, instantly glaring at Yuan Kaizhi under the guard's blade.

"Hold your blade—!"

The guard was startled, and King Zhou Ling also froze for a moment.

Yuan Kaizhi breathed urgently, clutching the arrow wound on his right shoulder, "Prince Jing, save me! I am the Yuan King's nephew, if you save me, the Yuan State will surely be grateful!"

King Zhou Ling sneered, "Hah."

Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly, "Brother Zhou, Brother Chu, don't you want to know more secrets about the Yuan State?"

Yuan Kaizhi's body trembled.

The King Zhou Ling and King of Chu's eyes flickered, clearly showing some interest.

"Take him with us, we're returning to the palace."

Xiao Yunzhou turned to instruct his guards.

"Even if we bring him back, he won't live long—" The King of Chu walked in front of Yuan Kaizhi, his toe hovering near his shoulder.

The arrow piercing Yuan Kaizhi's right arm had penetrated through the muscle, bleeding continuously.

Once removed, blood would gush out, and he could hardly last two or three days.

"Even under severe interrogation, he wouldn't have the strength to answer."

King Zhou Ling nodded.

But halfway through speaking, the King of Chu narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Xiao Yunzhou, "Could it be, as my eldest daughter said, that your Jing Country truly possesses miraculous suturing techniques?"

"Even if someone's chest is cut open or abdomen sliced, they can still be saved?"

"And the wounds won't fester?"

The King of Chu's questions left King Zhou Ling increasingly dumbfounded.

King Zhou Ling slowly turned his head, trying to get a negative answer from Xiao Yunzhou.

Saving someone whose chest has been cut open? Such medical skill is impossible, right?

"Well, we can't say everyone can be saved, it still depends on the condition of the internal organs."

Xiao Yunzhou indeed shook his head.

King Zhou Ling breathed a sigh of relief, he knew Jing Country couldn't possibly possess such divine medical skills. If Jing Country's physicians had such powerful treatment methods, wouldn't the King of Chu have told him earlier?

Sure enough, Xiao Yunzhou shook his head in denial, and King Zhou Ling's whole body relaxed.

He felt reassured now, Jing Country's medical skills definitely wouldn't be ahead of their Zhou Xing Kingdom—

But before King Zhou Ling could finish his thought, he heard Xiao Yunzhou quickly raise his chin, pointing at Yuan Kaizhi, and adding, "But for cases like his, where internal organs are undamaged and it's only external flesh wounds that need suturing... there's a 70-80% chance of survival."

"!"

King Zhou Ling nearly bit his own tongue, "70-80%? Xiao Yunzhou, Taoists don't lie, don't break your precepts."

The King of Chu narrowed his eyes, "So, the suturing techniques you've mastered have such a high survival rate now."

"That day, when I heard Yunwu say your harem concubine saved a hunter on the street whose intestines had been pulled out by a black bear, I thought you were putting on a show for her to see."

"I didn't expect it to be true?"

Jing Country's unique gatherings had physician consultation booths, but ordinary people who came for treatment wouldn't easily undergo surgery.

Moreover, after learning of his death omen, the King of Chu had hurriedly returned to his country, so he hadn't personally witnessed the suturing medical technique.

"May we observe?" The King of Chu showed great interest.

Xiao Yunzhou pondered for a moment, then nodded.

King Zhou Ling followed all the way back to the capital city, feeling dazed, as if his soul had left his body.

Jing Country not only had firearms but also divine medical skills...

Fortunately, he had come to Jing territory, otherwise he would have been completely in the dark, helping Yuan attack Jing, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

If Jing Country wasn't destroyed but counterattacked them, the distant Yuan State's soldiers might still be able to escape, but their nearby Zhou Xing Kingdom would face great calamity!

"King of Chu, you knew about so many divine skills of Jing Country, why didn't you tell me!" King Zhou Ling now felt a chill running down the back of his neck.

King of Chu: "...You're on that side of Jing, I'm on this side."

"Why don't you reflect on yourself, why I know and you don't."

"...!"

King Zhou Ling was left speechless.

[Ah, so this is why they say the most valuable thing in the world is information.]

[Delayed information, lack of transparency in information, can all lead to decision-making errors.]

Xiao Chuchu listened to the two kings argue and couldn't help but sigh.

[In our ancient times, communication isn't developed, it takes several days to travel between two places, so mutual understanding is insufficient.]

[The person who possesses the most information is the one who grasps the initiative in the world!]

The more Xiao Yunzhou listened, the more reverent his gaze became towards his daughter in his arms.

Looking around the world now, who possessed the most information?

It must be his little immortal princess!

Her immortal technique—the gossip eye—had seen through people coming and going!

Now, even the secrets of the Yuan King thousands of miles away were in her grasp!

Xiao Yunzhou had suppressed himself the whole way, refraining from telling King Zhou Ling and the King of Chu about this huge secret of the Yuan King.

After all, it was heavenly intelligence!

How could King Zhou Ling and the King of Chu be worthy of knowing without paying some price?

Xiao Yunzhou resolutely kept his mouth shut until they returned to the palace and saw Liu Chaniang waiting for Chuchu's return at the door of the imperial study. Only then could he no longer hold back.

"Chaniang, big news!"

"First, have your palace maid who has learned some suturing techniques roughly stitch up that man, just enough to keep him barely alive." Xiao Yunzhou was also disgusted to the extreme by Yuan Kaizhi's actions.

He didn't really want to let this scum live and harm others anymore.

After this matter was settled, Yuan Kaizhi should pay the price for what he had done!

Thinking this, Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help but urgently pull Liu Chaniang into the left study room, lowering his voice to share the gossip with her.

Heaven knows how hard it had been for him to hold back all this way!

It was truly lonely having no one to share such a huge secret with!

"Chaniang, what do you think about this earth-shattering secret I learned from Yuan Kaizhi." Xiao Yunzhou lowered his voice, not letting his daughter Chuchu outside the room hear.

"Can I spread it around?"

"If we widely publicize this matter, would it make things difficult for that Yuan Empress?"

Xiao Yunzhou was now a man who had read "Five Years Later She Came Back" and regularly heard Xiao Chuchu's inner thoughts, he had truly come to respect women!

This gossip about the Yuan King's impotence not only concerned the Yuan King, but also the women in the Yuan King's harem, and the birth mothers of those 'princes and princesses'!

Xiao Yunzhou was somewhat conflicted.

"What do you think, if I spread the shameful news of the Yuan King's impotence, would those women be implicated because of this? Would the Yuan King assume it was one of them who leaked the secret, and would I be endangering their lives?"

Xiao Yunzhou himself practiced Taoism, focusing on accumulating good deeds.

He didn't want to carelessly implicate the lives of innocent women, not only would it harm others, but it would also affect his precious little princess who had opened her heavenly eye and revealed heavenly secrets!

"This..." Liu Chaniang hadn't expected to wait for her daughter in the imperial study only to encounter such huge gossip!

For a moment, she was stunned.

But after some thought, Liu Chaniang also frowned, "We are far from the Yuan State, if the Yuan King discovers his secret has been exposed and flies into a rage out of shame, harming the Yuan Empress, we are too far away to help."

That was indeed true.

Xiao Yunzhou sighed.

But should they just let it go?

[Hey, I saw the gossip on Princess Ronghua.]

Xiao Chuchu's inner thoughts faintly reached Liu Chaniang and Xiao Yunzhou's ears through the wall.

[It turns out her scumbag husband Yuan Kaizhi fears the Yuan King's uncle, the Duke of National Defense, the most. Oh my! This Duke of National Defense has actually been secretly in love with the Yuan Empress all along!]

[Huh, the Duke of National Defense isn't that old either, he joined the army at fourteen, he's only thirty-five this year, but because his merits overshadowed the monarch he was called back to the capital and had his military tally taken away! Princess Ronghua even thinks the Duke of National Defense is a bit handsome!]

[Damn, Princess Ronghua secretly ships the Empress of Yuan Country with the Duke of National Defense every time she sees the Empress!]

[She feels like the Duke of National Defense's gaze on the Empress is so intense it could form strings.]

Xiao Yunzhou and Liu Chaniang were stunned as they listened.

[Oh my, if the Duke of National Defense knew how disgusting his nephew, the Yuan King, is, would he eliminate the Yuan King for the sake of his beauty?]

Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but fantasize.

Xiao Yunzhou suddenly stood up.
