The Doctress with Healing Hands: Your Highness, Please Behave Yourself

Chapter 35

The Best Years For a Woman

After the event, Zhao Yuchen chose Chen Yuerong and Liu Xiangyi because he made a deal with the two family in private .

That was, he could offer status to the two girls, as well as promoted their fathers in court .

After marrying Crown Prince, they certainly needed to keep their promise that they were not allowed to be jealous of Crown Princess in love affairs, but to scrupulously abide by their duty and couldn’t complain even getting no Emperor’s grace all their life .

Though the two girls agreed positively, any woman would be captivated by the charm of Crown Prince after getting along with him . Therefore, they couldn’t help falling in love with the most honored man in the Great Yan Kingdom .

Liu Xiangyi understood that was wrong to betray her pledge, but she couldn’t help tending to win his heart, even by despicable means .

“I can give you an answer if you really want one . There would not be a place for you in the huge harem if without Su Ruoqing . Do you understand now?”

What Zhao Yuchen had said made Liu Xianyi’s heart fell to despair .

She had expected herself to occupy a tiny position in his heart anyhow .

What a cruel answer, also a terrible truth for her .

In Zhao Yuchen’s heart, she was only a passer-by who devoted her best time for a woman to the man, only to get such a result .

That moment, the original sad face of Liu Xiangyi turned hideously diabolic, and she snarled to Zhao Yuchen, “Well, since you are reluctant to give me any affection, the relationship between us in this life has been cut off!

But I won’t mind telling you before I die, that the Great Yan Kingdom will be changed hands one day . You just wait to hold Bai Qingqing that bitch and go to hell!”

After that, she bit her root of tongue severely, taking her own life in front of the crowd in a tragic manner .

Ming Hao went to see if she was still breathing immediately she died .

Later Ming Hao said in a low voice, “Lord Seventh, she had died, but still not confessed who she wrote to . ”

Zhao Yuchen snorted, “Only a handful of people want to take my life in the world . She thought that dying with resolution, she could let the one behind the scene go unpunished?”

With it he said to Ming Hao in a cold voice, “Since they don’t want to spare us any peace, and on the principle of courtesy and reciprocity, by no means should we let those who cherish evil designs live better .

Deliver an imperial order that Liu family’s death sentence is revoked; but punishment shall be granted for they indulged their daughter to commit murder . From now on, they are demoted to the common people and distributed to the frontier . ”

The news that Liu family got suffered soon became known to all in the capital .

Therefore, the court released an official document that Imperial Concubine of Emperor Emeritus Yi cherished evil designs that colluded secretly with others in an attempt to murder the emperor and Sacred Emperor .

Now damning evidence gave the result that Liu family was implicated, distributed to the frontier and banned to enter the capital forever .

Before long, the family was searched house and confiscated property .

Lots of civilians came to Liu’s house as lookers-on .

In the crowd, a tall man wearing a bamboo rain hat stood not far from the city gate and looked coldly at the delicate corpse hanging alone in the cold winter at the city gate .

He clearly knew that was a warning of demonstrations Zhao Yuchen gave to him .

But who was to be the winner remained unknown .

After a long while, the man gave a frightening sneer and disappeared in the street corner .

The news that Imperial Concubine of Emperor Emeritus Yi conlluded secretly with others and committed suicide for fear of punishment soon provoked much discussion .

Though Bai Qingqing didn’t have a favorable impression on Liu Xiangyi, her fate was out of Bai’s expectation .

She faintly found the court which looked harmonious and peaceful hid lots of unseen danger through this assassination .

As for the real identity of the perpetrator behind the scene, it was easy to deduce as long as it was thought over .

As Zhao Yuchen said, only a handful of people aimed to take his life in the world .

Now he had given up the throne and withdrew from the power struggle, but the other side kept minding his past, which obviously meant his real intention of this murder was to settle private grievances .

With careful thinking, the only person having private grievances with Zhao Yuchen was Lord Ninth, the man who lost his wife to him .

Just this time Zhao Yuting who settled in Fengyang for years suddenly showed up in the capital .

It was such a coincidence that everything happened at the same time, which made it hard not to convict him of the crime .

“You also suspected the Ninth?” asked ZhaoYuchen .

He was amazed at Bai Qingqing’s subtle analysis, he couldn’t help but appreciate her even more .

Despite the fact that he was clear that his wife Su Ruoqing he married painstakingly before, was a sensible and intelligent girl .

But their marriage was based on his force, which caused his disbelief that Su Ruoqing had sincere affection for him in their marriage life .

Or he wouldn’t have suspected if Zhao Rui was his own son under others’ provocative instigation .

The past six years living as a blind person not only weakened his edge to better present himself, but made him more mature and rational .

If Ruoqing were fond of the Ninth, according to her temper, on no account would she compromise even when she was being forced .

But she did compromise and was willing to give birth to a baby for him, which was enough to prove that she devoted all her love to him .

This conclusion made him excited as well as guilty .

Had he figured out this fact, Ruoqing and him wouldn’t have suffered the pain of separation for six years long .

Fortunately, his infatuation moved God so that a chance brought about when he felt hopeless .

Thinking of this, he suddenly couldn’t suppress the excitement inside and possessively took Bai Qingqing who was enjoying snacks on the opposite in his arms .

“Hey, what are you doing?” Bai Qingqing was shocked by his sudden movement . Snacks in her hand dropped, and even the tea on the table was almost knocked over .

She was fiestyt and blushed, she pounded him hard on the shoulder, shyly said, “Let me go . That’s embarrassing if seen by others!”

She clearly knew Palace of Sunrise was full of flunkeys .

Zhao Yuchen instantly waved to the maids in the doorway, signaling that they should disappear now .

Then Bai Qingqing’s face turned redder, shyly and angrily, she shouted, “Why did you let them go?”

“Aren’t you the one who find them unpleasant to look?”

“I don’t mean that . ”

“Then what you mean?”

“Just let me go, I’m hungry now . . . ”

Zhao Yuchen winked and teased, “Now I only want to do one thing . That is eating you as my snacks . ”

Then he hugged her at the waist, rushing to the spacious and luxurious bed in the inner room .

At the moment, the delicate voice of the little emperor came from outside, “Bai Jiejie, are you here?”

The voice was like drops from heaven to Bai Qingqing who was about to be “eaten”, but a disgusting one to Zhao Yuchen who was about to “eat” .

Before Bai Qingqing answered, he snapped at the little emperor outside, “Your future mother was tired and having a rest now . Just talk about it tomorrow . ”

The rapid footsteps were stopped by his words .

Not understanding what Zhao Yuchen meant, the little emperor continued, “But father, it’s not dark outside yet . . . ”

“Who said rest is only for night?”

“But dad . . . ”

The little emperor was about to continue when Zhao Yuchen said impatiently, “Back to Palace of Harmony to read memorials to the throne . You cannot enter Palace of Sunrise at your will without my permission from now on . ”

Inexplicably scolded by his father, the little emperor felt aggrieved . Before he begged for some rights, his father’s voice came again .

“If you are still here disturbing us developing relationship, I’ll leave for the Ink Garden with your future mother tomorrow . ”

The words instantly eliminated the little emperor’s request, and he hastened back from Palace of Sunrise after an aggrieved promise that he will never do it again .
