Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

Chapter 1025 Feng Yuheng’s Revenge

After arriving in Da Shun’s court, what was known as benevolence had long been eroded cleanly after days of encountering human indifference, scheming and backstabbing. Feng Yuheng was not a saint in the first place, she would take revenge when she needs to. Touching her people and touching her money, was the same as touching on her rage, she would not let them off.

Noble Lady Liu, Concubine Xiang, Concubine Mei, she remembered these few names. She did not know which palaces they lived in, but this was easy to settle. There was still Zhang Yuan in the Department of Guilty Servants, going over to get some information was still a very easy thing to do.

Zhang Yuan was very knowledgeable of matters within the palace and gave Feng Yuheng the directions to the palaces which those few people in detail. Feng Yuheng did not stay long in the Department of Guilty Servants and hurriedly moved to the residences of her enemies. Zhang Yuan was left standing next to the toilet in the Department of Guilty Servants, and as he watched Feng Yuheng’s back, he started guessing if there would be a murder in the palace tomorrow. He felt that there was something off about Princess Yu’s expression, how did these few people offend this jade faced Rakahasa?

Three people, three outcomes. To Concubine Mei who directly ordered Zirui to go into the water, she harbored the most hatred. She tied that person up, threw her into the space, then went to the lakeside of the Imperial Garden, throwing her in with a “splash”. When she was thrown in, Feng Yuheng did not forget to tie two large rocks to Concubine Mei’s body, helping her sink faster to keep Noble Lady Qi company. “Didn’t you like to work together to commit evil deeds, then you can collude until you are happy while in Hell!” She looked sullen, watching Concubine Mei’s shadow disappear quickly after falling into the water, then turned around and headed to where Noble Lady Liu and Concubine Xiang lived.

She was not ruthless. She felt that that their diabolical thoughts could not be forgiven. She felt heartache and guilt towards her younger brother, to the point that even when seeing Zirui’s severed finger now, she would feel pain in her heart, yet there were people who wanted to cause trouble for her only younger brother. If the Empress and Feng Zhaolian had not come in time, Zirui might have even lost his life? She did not dare to think of the consequences, the only thing she could do was to pluck out all the hidden dangers by their roots such that not even a trace of danger would be left.

Noble Lady Liu and Concubine Xiang had slightly better fates, they were not thrown directly into the river to drown but were stripped naked after being knocked unconscious. Feng Yuheng used the Space to bring them inside Zhao He Hall.

The Emperor was a little tired today. He did show favour to Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu, but he did not do it for too long. At this time, he was already deep in sleep, even Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu had cuddled up to the Emperor’s chest and had fallen asleep.

However, just in case, Feng Yuheng still used anesthesia to knock the two unconscious and threw the two women onto the dragon bed, putting one on each side of the Emperor, pushing Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu further away.

Taking this opportunity, she felt the Emperor’s pulse but did not discover anything abnormal from his pulse. However, the Emperor was not wearing any clothes at the moment and a faint black line on his chest was spotted by the sharp-eyed Feng Yuheng, causing her to frown.

She reached out the pressed on the black line on his chest but did not discover any physical object. The black line seemed to float on the surface of the skin, resembling that of normal pigmentation. But she felt it was strange and looked out of the Hall. The Eunuch keeping watch outside might have already received orders from Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu that he was not allowed to come in, so she decided that she might as well move the Emperor to her Space, sending him to the bed of the operation room.

Of course, she did not plan to perform some operation on the Emperor, and only wanted to perform an X-Ray to see what exactly was in the Emperor’s chest. In addition, she wanted to perform a CT scan to gain a complete understanding on the internal workings of his brain.

Time was tight and she had many things to do, Feng Yuheng practically did not have any time to rest and did not care that the Emperor was not wearing clothes at the moment. She viewed him just like a professional doctor seeing a patient, giving him a systematic check up from head to toe. Then, without waiting for the results, she transported the Emperor out immediately, re-positioning the people on the bed. Only then did she return to her Space, leaving the palace by appearing and disappearing in flashes.

The next morning, after Zirui woke up, the first thing he noticed was a pile of medicine which appeared mysteriously on the table. His heart fluttered and he shouted on reflex: “Older Sister? Did you come?” Waiting for a while, he found out that no one replied him and felt a little lonely. But those medicines caused him to firmly believe that it was sent by Feng Yuheng, because for that kind of medicine, it was impossible for anyone other than Feng Yuheng to own them. He happily got off the bed, did not even put on his shoes and shouted: “Sister Yue Rong! Sister Yue Rong!”

Yue Rong kept watch for Zirui two nights ago and did not sleep and got a fright yesterday. Zirui insisted on not allowing her to kept watch overnight yesterday and relieved her of her duties for her to go back and sleep. However, the young ladies in the palace were already used to serving their masters at all times. Even if they went back to rest, they would definitely not wake up later than their masters the next day. Zirui only called for her twice before she entered carrying a basin of water. Seeing that he was barefoot, she quickly said: “Why is Young Master barefoot? The floor is cold, be careful of catching a cold, hurry and wear your shoes!”

Zirui obediently went back beside his mattress to put on his shoes, and spoke while doing so: “Quickly take a look, Sister Yue Rong, those are all medicines which my older sister sent over, there are medicines which help combat against cold, and also to apply on your face. Quickly try some, my older sister’s medicines are the most effective ones in the world.”

The grand name of the Bodhisattva of Medicine, Princess Ji An, even to Yue Rong who stayed deep within the palace for many years, this was something which reverberated like thunder. For a servant, she was already used to getting beaten in the palace and did not feel wronged by it. In addition, servants were unable to use medicine without their master’s permission, but with her master being Feng Zirui and with Feng Yuheng sending medicine over, Yue Rong could not help but be moved, running over quickly to see those novel medicines.

Like a small adult, Zirui read the instructions on the medicine box, helped her open the ointment to be applied on the face and lightly applied a layer on both her cheeks. Yue Rong only felt coolness ripple across her face and the originally hot and piercing sensation on her face was instantly replaced by a sense of coolness. Not only had the pain reduced a lot, it had a calming effect such that her cheeks no longer felt numb, it was really comfortable.

She could not help but exclaim: “These are indeed divine medicines from a divine doctor, this servant never expected to be so lucky to be able to use Princess Yu’s ointment in this lifetime. Thinking about it now, that beating yesterday was really worth it!” After saying this, she looked at Zirui and said happily: “To have such an older sister, Young Master is really fortunate.” But she was smart and did not ask when Feng Yuheng came, and did not ask how she came and how she was able to avoid so many guards in the palace. She knew that these were the secrets of the masters. For this kind of secrets, as a servant, the less they knew the better. However, she still told Zirui another thing: “The Emperor is in a bad mood today, so it is likely that he will not send a summons for you. But he did not say anything about allowing Young Master to leave the palace, so it would be best for Young Master to remain in the courtyard and not go out.”

“The Emperor is in a bad mood?” Zirui did not understand, “Her Highness Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu is with him, why would he be in a bad mood?”

“That’s because Her Highness Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu is also in a bad mood.” Yue Rong sighed, but did not explain anything else to him, only telling him: “Something happened at Zhao He Hall, and there seems to be a number of people involved, we should avoid it if we can.”

Something did happen at Zhao He Hall, to the point that the Emperor did not even attend morning court. Morning court for that day was cancelled. The ministers were deep in discussion at the Heavenly Hall, but no one knew that the reason for the Emperor not attending morning court, was actually because after he woke up, there were two more women at his side.

Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu sat next to the Emperor continuously wiping her tears. Seeing Concubine Xiang and Noble Lady Liu kneeling in front of the two of them, even if the anger in her heart was at boiling point, she kept up the appearance of being aggrieved and magnanimous, sniffing and saying: “If you two younger sisters have such thoughts, you can speak to me, your older sister, about this, or speak to the Empress, or speak to the Emperor directly. For the Evaluation Office of the Inner Palace to issue a notice, the rules would need to be followed. Doing such a thing in the middle of the night, ignoring my reputation for the moment, this is very awkward for the Emperor, you know? If this matter is spread, that is……” She stopped speaking, looked at the Emperor, and did not continue.

But the sentence was completed by the Emperor: “That is confusing the palace order.” The Emperor’s face had darkened to the extreme. Staring at the two woman who have not straightened out their clothes, he hated that he could not tear them apart with his bare hands. He felt something was off when he woke up in the morning. This dragon bed was very wide, there was still a lot of empty space when only him and Imperial Concubine slept in it and it did not feel cramped at all. But this morning it felt strangely stuffy, as if there were many people next to him, making it hard to breath. He remembered calling out for his beloved concubine, and immediately after that, he heard Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu’s loud scream.

It was that scream which caused him to become completely alert. Getting up suddenly, he saw Concubine Xiang and Noble Lady Liu lying on the mattress with them. At that time, he was ashamed, resentful and angry. Seeing Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu in tears, he felt that his beloved concubine had suffered a huge grievance and wanted to hug and comfort her, but Noble Lady Liu was still lying between them. He angrily threw both of them off the bed and they woke up suddenly from this impact.

“Your Majesty, we were wrongly accused!” Listening to what Imperial Concubine and the Emperor said, Concubine Xiang and Noble Lady Liu were almost frightened to death. But at the same time, they did not understand. They were clearly resting in their own palace courtyards, why had they arrived at Zhao He Hall when they woke up? In addition, who took off their clothes? Why did they remember nothing of the process?

The two of them knelt on the floor, shivering. They felt that the aura of death was approaching slowly. The Emperor’s face was filled with anger and Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu added fuel to the fire from the side: “Your Majesty, they are sisters from the imperial harem, there is no need to make things difficult for them. This One thinks that they must have pined for Your Majesty too much, which is why they acted that way. No matter what, this is because of their feelings, how about Your Majesty…… keep these two younger sisters at Zhao He Hall! This One is old, so new people should come and serve Your Majesty, in the future, this One…… will come no longer.”

After saying this, she actually stood up and acted like she wanted to leave. The Emperor became flustered instantly and reached out to pull Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu back. Not caring that there were other people still in this inner hall, he pulled her onto his lap and said in a panic: “My beloved, please do not say such things, my heart only belongs to beloved, you can’t abandon me no matter what!” After saying this, he looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, grinding his teeth in anger: “Drag the two of them out, death by flogging! Beat them to death!”

With this death sentence, Concubine Xiang and Noble Lady Liu were paralysed. The two of them shouted with all their might: “We were wronged! We were truly wronged! We don’t know anything, we don’t know how we came here, we were clearly sleeping in our own palace courtyards! But when we opened our eyes, we were here, someone must have kidnapped us! Your Majesty, please spare us!”

These shouts caused the Emperor to feel frustrated and his head seemed to hurt again. He quickly hugged Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu, trying to obtain some spiritual comfort from her. Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu played along and patted his back lightly, yet her heart was flustered. The last words from the pair made her feel uneasy……
