Kapitel 48: Partial Recovery
As they arrived at the palace gates, a guard glanced into the carriage. When his eyes landed on Bai Rouyun, he was slightly stunned, and his gaze lingered for a bit longer than what was proper.
"Seen enough?" Li Moyun asked, his voice devoid of emotions, and his eyes cold.
The guard was instantly shocked, he gathered himself back together and cursed Bai Rouyun in his mind for being a fox spirit.
She was simply so stunning that even if she was dumb, any man would want her. It was no wonder that Prince Yun had also accepted her when she was offered to him.
Li Moyun understood his gaze, and his eyes turned cold. The temperature within the carriage dropped, and Bai Rouyun looked at him with puzzlement. Why was his mood suddenly so bad?
Li Moyun saw the glance she sent him, and he smiled gently, the temperature instantly returning to normal, making Bai Rouyun wonder if she had mistaken something before.
The carriage was parked inside the palace wall, and Li Moyun exited the carriage, reaching out his hand and took Bai Rouyun's hand in his as he led her down the long pathways of the palace.
Bai Rouyun was supposed to be undergoing recovery, but it would be weird if she already recovered entirely, so she just put on the most innocent smile she could muster, and held his hand while drifting behind him.
She was like an untainted lotus in the snow, beautiful, ethereal, and graceful. The smile on her face was adorable and made everyone go soft in the knees.
Many guards and princes saw them walking down the pathway, and all of them had dazed expressions when they saw the watery eyes matched with that innocent smile.
Li Moyun was greatly irritated because of the many glances sent to Bai Rouyun, but she was acting as if she had no idea what was happening, making him feel a little better. Her eyes were glancing around from time to time, but else her eyes were focused on Li Moyun, who was delighted with this.
After walking for some time, they finally reached the main palace where Li Moyun led Bai Rouyun inside.
Inside the main hall, the Emperor was seated in the main seat, looking down upon Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun.
By his side were a few of the princes, including the Crown Prince, and these princes were all looking at Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun curiously. Upon looking at Bai Rouyun, they found that she was much more attractive than they thought. Although she was famed for her appearance, the rumors were nothing compared to what they were seeing now.
"My Royal Father, this son has come to introduce my wife," Li Moyun said smilingly as he gestured for Bai Rouyun to step forward.
Looking slightly dazed, adorable, and innocent, Bai Rouyun looked at Li Moyun as if wanting to ensure he wanted it. Her look was simply so cute that all of the men present felt their hearts beating rapidly.
"Bai Rouyun greets Royal Father-in-Law," Bai Rouyun said, her voice was soft and gentle, it was as a gentle spring breeze arriving in a frozen world, warming up everyone instantly.
But her words made everyone shocked. She was supposed to be mute, deaf, and dumb, but now, although slightly innocent and gentle, she was not mute. And she was clearly not deaf either.
They all looked at Li Moyun with shock. They had previously heard the rumors about Li Moyun hiring expert doctors to heal Bai Rouyun, but no one thought it would be successful.
The princes were all shocked too, they had laughed at Li Moyun before because of his bad luck, having to marry a dumb wife, but now they all wanted to have been the ones to marry her. She was simply so attractive and adorable; anyone would have a feeling of wanting to conquer her.
"My dearest son, it seems that you were successful in making your wife recover," The Emperor said, seemingly very supportive. However, Li Moyun knew him well enough to recognize the darkness within his eyes, but he did not care.
The Richu Empire could do nothing to him, even if all their experts gathered together, he would be able to get rid of them all with a mere snort.
He held no respect for the Emperor nor for the other princes, but his identity as a prince of the Richu Empire was great for hiding his background as the Shadow Lord.
The Emperor was not aware of his other identity, but he was aware that this son of his was very mysterious and that he held some strength that he had no power to rival against. He also knew that Li Moyun did not respect them at all.
"We are still working on a full recovery, but she is still much more conscious now than she used to be, so a full recovery should not be far away."
The Emperor nodded his head, seemingly acting like a benevolent and graceful ruler.
Bai Rouyun smiled gently, her eyes did not waver or change, all they did was to look at Li Moyun as if he was her entire world, the infatuated eyes making Li Moyun pleased, but the other princes all felt jealous and envious.
Especially the Crown Prince. He had not fallen in love with Bai Rouyun, but he had taken a liking to her appearance. At the same time, the Crown Prince wanted to show Li Moyun, who was the important prince in the Empire.
He was not willing to accept that Li Moyun was more well-liked than him. Now he was also now married to such a beautiful woman. If he could take the woman away from Li Moyun, would this brother of his maybe feel defeated? Seducing a simpleton should be easy.
The Crown Prince was quite a stupid person as well. He never tried to make himself better, he just wanted to use his appearance to seduce women and get their backing.
